140: Chapter 140 The Gluttonous Pavilion, Pavilion Master

Chapter 140 Taotie Pavilion, Pavilion Master

South Region Taotie Pavilion Master — Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan.

Saint Realm, a renowned expert in the South Region.

His whereabouts were usually unpredictable; even the Disciples of the Taotie Pavilion rarely caught a glimpse of him.

Sun Buer never imagined that his second uncle would actually appear in a small place like Guangnan City!

"What, not welcome?" Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan folded his fan and looked at his nephew with a smile, his eyes filled with a hint of teasing.

"Welcome! Of course you're welcome!" Sun Buer waved his hands hurriedly, the surprise on his face gradually replaced by excitement. "Second Uncle, why didn't you let me know in advance that you were coming? I could have gone to pick you up!"

"Let you know in advance?" Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan shook his head. "No need. I didn't come here for Taotie Pavilion business this time."

Sun Buer was stunned. "Not for the Taotie Pavilion? Then what are you doing in Guangnan City, Second Uncle?"

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the stone table in the courtyard and slowly sat down.

He looked up at the sky, then at the bustling street outside the courtyard, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"To visit a Senior."

Sun Buer's whole body shook, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Senior?"

What level of existence could be called a Senior by his second uncle?

Second Uncle was a Saint Realm expert!

In the entire Cangxuan Great World, those he could call Senior would at least be at the Saint Realm Peak, or even Great Saint Realm old monsters!

And such an existence was actually in Guangnan City?

"Second Uncle, the Senior you mentioned... what is their background?" Sun Buer swallowed hard, his voice wavering.

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan didn't answer but took out a Jade Slip from his sleeve and tossed it to Sun Buer.

"Take a look at this."

Sun Buer took the Jade Slip and sent his Divine Thought into it.

The next moment—

His pupils suddenly contracted!

Inside the Jade Slip was an image.

Above the Tianque Holy Land, a ten thousand soul banner as black as ink floated in mid-air. Countless hideous faces surged upon the banner, emitting a heart-palpitating Devilish Qi.

Below the banner, the Tianque Holy Land had already turned into ruins. Mountains had collapsed, palaces had fallen, the ground was cracked, and the vegetation had withered.

In the sky, more than a dozen blood moons appeared simultaneously. The blood moons hung high, heaven and earth grieved together, and the phenomenon covered the entire Eastern Wasteland.

"This is... the Tianque Holy Land?!" Sun Buer's voice was trembling.

"That's right." Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan nodded, his tone calm. "Tianque Holy Land, one of the top Holy Lands in the Eastern Wasteland, with a Legacy spanning ten thousand years and a Saint King Realm Old Ancestor presiding over it. It was turned into ruins overnight."

Sun Buer gasped, his whole body shaking.

He had naturally heard about the destruction of the Tianque Holy Land.

This matter had already spread throughout the entire Cangxuan Great World, shaking all major forces and causing countless Cultivators to talk about it.

Some said an old monster from a forbidden zone had acted, some said an expert from the Upper Realm had descended, and others said the Tianque Holy Land had offended a certain hidden ancient clan, bringing about the disaster of extermination.

"Second Uncle, this... could the destruction of the Tianque Holy Land be related to the Senior you mentioned?" Sun Buer's voice was trembling.

As a Core Disciple of the Taotie Pavilion, he understood the Tianque Holy Land far better than the average person.

That was a powerful force with a Saint King Realm Old Ancestor, not much weaker than their Taotie Pavilion.

Not to mention, the Tianque Holy Land was suspected to have connections with a certain Venerable, an existence that even their Taotie Pavilion had to treat with caution!

But now, someone had destroyed the Tianque Holy Land!

How terrifying must that person be!

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "The ten thousand soul banner appeared at the Tianque Holy Land, and that ten thousand soul banner had been in the Xuantian Secret Realm before. When the Secret Realm opened this time, the ten thousand soul banner fell into that Senior's hands."

Sun Buer swallowed hard, his gaze falling on the image in the Jade Slip, staring fixedly at the pitch-black banner.

"That flag... is the legendary ten thousand soul banner?"

"Correct." Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan put down his teacup, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes. "The Life Saint Weapon of the Heavenly Fiend Demon Venerable. Sixty years ago, the Heavenly Fiend Demon Venerable was killed by Ye Chen in the Xuantian Secret Realm of the Central State, and the ten thousand soul banner also disappeared. Everyone thought this Saint Weapon had been completely destroyed in that great battle, but in fact, the ten thousand soul banner was left in the Xuantian Secret Realm."

"So that's how it is... it actually fell into that Senior's hands."

A thought suddenly flashed through Sun Buer's mind.

He remembered what happened at the ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect that day.

That Young Master Shen had casually broken through a Saint Array and nonchalantly taken the token of Great Emperor Yuanlian.

And that Asking Dao Realm Great Demon King had prostrated himself on the ground before Young Master Shen like he was pounding garlic, calling him 'Exalted One'.

That Young Master Shen... could he be the 'Senior' his second uncle was talking about?

As soon as this thought emerged, he shook his head repeatedly.

Although Young Master Shen was powerful, he didn't believe he could destroy a powerful Holy Land.

His mind was filled with various thoughts.

What kind of charm did this small Guangnan City have? Not only did it hide an unfathomable figure like Young Master Shen, but it also hid a peerless Venerable!

"You should also prepare yourself. Tomorrow, you will accompany me to visit that Senior." Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan glanced at the dazed Sun Buer and instructed, "When you see that Senior, be humble. If you can get even a little guidance from that Senior, it will benefit you endlessly."

"Yes!" Sun Buer gave a violent start, his heart incredibly excited.

Such an expert was an existence even stronger than their Taotie Pavilion's Old Ancestor!

"Second Uncle, you're going to visit that Senior tomorrow. What do I need to prepare?"

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan pondered for a moment, then took out a Jade Slip from his sleeve and tossed it to Sun Buer.

"This is the recipe for our Taotie Pavilion's Spirit Cuisine — the 'nine heavens immortal spirit feast'. I will cook it personally, and you will assist me."

Sun Buer took the Jade Slip and sent his Divine Thought inside. The next moment, his eyes instantly widened.

"The nine heavens immortal spirit feast!"

The top-tier Spirit Cuisine of the Taotie Pavilion. It was said that every dish was prepared using Spirit Medicine of the ninth rank or above and Yao Beast Materials, containing extremely dense Spiritual Qi and dao rhyme.

Even a Saint Realm expert would benefit greatly from eating a single meal.

And for a full nine heavens immortal spirit feast, more than a hundred kinds of Materials needed to be prepared, each of which was a rare treasure of immense value.

Their South Region Taotie Pavilion hadn't made this set of Spirit Cuisine for over a hundred years.

"Second Uncle, this..." Sun Buer swallowed hard, his voice wavering. "Are the inventories of our South Region Branch sufficient for these Materials?"

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan glared at him and scolded, "Do you think I came empty-handed? Since we're visiting a Senior, the things have naturally been prepared long ago."

Sun Buer smiled sheepishly and shrank his neck.

He was being foolish; these things obviously couldn't be prepared on short notice.

"Second Uncle, I'll go get ready right away."

"Wait."

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan's voice came from behind.

Sun Buer paused and looked back.

Pavilion Master Sun Daoxuan was sitting at the stone table, playing with his pitch-black folding fan, his gaze deep. "Tomorrow's visit to the Senior must not alarm anyone."

He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of gravity. "You will come with me alone."

Sun Buer was slightly taken aback, then understood his second uncle's intention.

Since that Senior had hidden his cultivation and stayed low-key in a small place like Guangnan City, he naturally didn't want to be disturbed.

If they were to visit with great fanfare, it would instead cause the Senior's resentment.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I understand." Sun Buer nodded, turned around, and strode out of the courtyard.
