76: Chapter 76 Thousand Martial Pavilion, Nangong Xue, would you be willing to join my 'Heaven-Defying Gang'?
One hundred miles outside Northern Liang.
At this moment, an armless youth wearing a black long gown, with a mouse standing on his shoulder, was staring ahead.
Beside him stood a young girl wearing a red long dress, with her face covered by a veil.
The man in black was Xiao Yan, who had teleported here from the Great Wu Dynasty, and the girl beside him was the Princess of the Great Wu Dynasty, Princess Wu Mingyue.
"Old Ancestor, did you hear that voice just now?" Xiao Yan asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes filled with rage as he looked ahead.
"Little Yan, rest assured. As long as we don't provoke him this time, he won't discover us. We only need to pass through Northern Liang and head to the Central Plains!"
"Although the Zhou Family is powerful in the Eastern Region, they are not considered a top-tier Family in such a prosperous place as the Central Plains; they are barely even a first-rate Family!"
"In the Central Plains, you will definitely be able to obtain excellent resources. Once you have successfully Cultivated, you can return to take your revenge."
Feeling the rage in Xiao Yan's heart, the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan advised him repeatedly.
Princess Wu Mingyue, who was standing beside him, asked curiously at this moment: "Brother Xiao Yan, is the person you are talking about the one who severed your arm?"
Hearing Princess Wu Mingyue's words, Xiao Yan did not speak, simply nodding.
"Hmph! Such a person is truly hateful. Does he not know what an arm means to us cultivators?
Brother Xiao Yan, rest assured. Now that my illness has been cured by you, and I have also undergone the Awakening of the Void Gazer Divine Body, one of the top ten divine bodies, once I have successfully Cultivated, I will definitely take revenge for you."
Princess Wu Mingyue said with great concern.
Her words caused Xiao Yan's cold heart to warm up involuntarily.
"Thank you, Mingyue. However, my, Xiao Yan's, revenge must be taken by my own hands!" Xiao Yan said with full confidence.
During this period, he had progressed rapidly, as if he had been cheating.
A major Realm that would normally take ordinary people a year or even several years to achieve a Breakthrough, he had accomplished in a single month. At this moment, his confidence had soared.
Relying on this speed, he believed that it would not be long before he would avenge the grudge of his severed arm.
"Old Ancestor, should we bypass Northern Liang?" Xiao Yan asked.
He also knew that there was still a gap between himself and Zhou Yuxuan at this moment, so he did not want to come into contact with Zhou Yuxuan so soon.
After all, Northern Liang had now become Zhou Yuxuan's territory. If he entered Northern Liang, it would greatly increase the probability of being discovered.
However, at this moment, the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan shook his head.
"No! If we take a detour, we will miss the timing. With our strength alone, it is difficult to pass through the Mist Forest to head to the Central Plains."
The Ancestor of the Xiao Clan said firmly.
The place he wanted to go was just a hidden mountain area on the outskirts of the Mist Forest.
A long time ago, while traveling, he had discovered an ancient Formation here that could teleport to the Central Plains without consuming any resources, which could be described as extremely powerful.
However, such a powerful Formation had a major flaw: it would only open at the appropriate time.
And after it was opened, one would have to wait several hundred years for it to open again.
During this period, he had deduced that the time for this ancient Formation to open was in one week. Therefore, if they wanted to go to the Central Plains, they could not miss this opportunity.
At this moment, the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan also saw Xiao Yan's hesitation.
He said with great assurance: "Rest assured, Little Yan. I, the Old Ancestor, have recovered quite a bit of strength. Relying on the Old Ancestor's methods as a Rune Master, I will definitely be able to change your appearances."
Hearing the Old Ancestor's confident words, Xiao Yan finally felt relieved. Subsequently, under the Old Ancestor of the Xiao Clan's transformation, the two people and one mouse walked toward Zhenbei City.
...
Wutong Court.
At this moment, led by Qingniao, Zhou Yuxuan and his group arrived here.
At this moment, the interior of Wutong Court was still luxurious, and the death of Xu Feng had not caused chaos among the maidservants in Wutong Court.
On the contrary, these maidservants of superior appearance were still organizing Wutong Court in an orderly manner.
"Qingniao, I didn't expect you to have really betrayed the Young Lord!"
Just at this moment, a woman wearing a red long dress with a unique body scent walked over and glared at Qingniao.
Looking at the person who arrived, Zhou Yuxuan guessed her identity, but he still said coldly: "Xu Feng is dead. Now, Northern Liang is this King's territory. What kind of thing are you to dare to lecture this King's maidservant!"
As he spoke, a terrifying pressure pressed over with the force of a mountain toppling and the sea overturning.
Instantly, all the women in Wutong Court knelt down under this powerful pressure, begging to be spared.
"Young Lord, this person is named Hong She. She was the head maidservant arranged by Xu Feng in Wutong Court, and everyone here is under her management!"
"She is the most familiar with the affairs here. Young Lord, if you want to understand Wutong Court, why not spare her life for now? It won't be too late to kill her after you have finished understanding Wutong Court!"
Qingniao said in a low voice on the side, her gaze towards Hong She carrying a trace of complexity.
"Very well!" Listening to Qingniao's suggestion, Zhou Yuxuan withdrew his pressure, allowing the maidservants in Wutong Court to catch their breath.
"Now, take me to see that Qianwu Pavilion!" Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently.
Hong She seemed to have figured things out at this moment; she did not speak rudely again and led the way in front.
However, in a place where Zhou Yuxuan could not see, a trace of an imperceptible smile appeared on her face.
"Hehe! Zhou Yuxuan, I hear you are fond of beauty. If the situation is true, tonight I will definitely take your dog head to avenge the Prince and the Young Lord!"
Hong She thought viciously in her heart, and then, without changing her expression, she brought Zhou Yuxuan to the front of Qianwu Pavilion.
At this moment, in front of everyone, stood a nine-story pavilion with an archaic aura.
The doors of the pavilion were wide open, and inside, one could see a woman wearing white clothes, with an ethereal temperament and peerless beauty.
Her eyes seemed to only have the Cultivation Technique in her hands; even though Zhou Yuxuan walked in, she did not pay any attention to him.
"Hmm! This is indeed a good place!"
"It can be used as the base for my 'Heaven-Defying Gang'!"
After sizing up Qianwu Pavilion, Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently.
After all, he had established a force. Although the number of people was not large, it was time for him to develop some power.
Now, there were many Cultivation Techniques in this Qianwu Pavilion, which could be used as bargaining chips to recruit Gang members.
After a while, Zhou Yuxuan had not sensed anyone coming, so he could not help but ask in confusion: "Such a large Qianwu Pavilion, is there only one beauty guarding it?"
Hong She glanced at the woman in white who was still reading and said.
"Her name is Nangong Xue. She once saved the Young Lord, saved Xu Feng's life. Because she likes martial arts and heard that there was a Qianwu Pavilion in Northern Liang, she came here."
"However, ever since she entered this Qianwu Pavilion, she has never left."
Just as Hong She finished introducing her, Nangong Xue finished reading the Cultivation Technique in her hand and walked out from inside.
Only then did she notice that so many people had come to Qianwu Pavilion.
Just as her gaze swept over the crowd, her gaze suddenly stopped on Zhou Yuxuan.
For some reason, she felt a terrifying sense of threat from this man.
"You are strong!" This was the first sentence Nangong Xue said after everyone came in. Her voice was very cold, just like a Fairy of ice and snow.
"You are not bad either..." Just as Zhou Yuxuan was about to continue, he suddenly paused, as if some voice had sounded in his ear.
Subsequently, he asked with joy: "Would you be willing to join this King's 'Heaven-Defying Gang'? Now, Qianwu Pavilion is already this King's property. If you are willing, you may peruse the Cultivation Techniques here at your leisure.
Even Saint-grade Cultivation Techniques, this King can share them with you!"
