63: The Hundred Flowers Pavilion is in danger!

"Please look at the light screen!"

As Huang Qingxue's voice fell;

Jiang Susu was seen waving her jade-like hand, projecting a stream of Profound Power onto the large screen at the center of the venue. Immediately after, a handsome face appeared before everyone's eyes.

Whoosh——

"What's going on? This man... who is he?"

"I think they said his name is Chen Qingxuan... I've never heard of him before... What does Sect Master Huang mean by this?"

"This person is truly handsome. Even if I had met him in my youth... I'm afraid I would have had to avoid his dazzling presence."

"With that kind of avoidance, I'm afraid it would be for a lifetime!"

"Why is Sect Master Huang introducing this person? Could it be... that he is her Dao Companion... and she wants to use this opportunity to widely invite various factions to their wedding banquet?"

For a moment, all sorts of speculations flew about.

Not a single person recognized who Chen Qingxuan actually was.

"..."

Gazing at that familiar handsome face, Huang Qingxue couldn't help but swallow lightly;

The next moment, she forced herself to remain calm, her voice amplified by Profound Power to reach every corner of the venue, "This person is none other than the mastermind behind the creation of the Hundred Flowers Tower... Chen Qingxuan!"

Whoosh——

"What? He's the boss of the Hundred Flowers Tower in Central Continent... the one who is as elusive as a divine dragon, seen only the head but never the tail?"

"To think the mastermind behind the Hundred Flowers Tower, famous across the Cangyun Continent, is actually a young man... I guess it's true that young people know how to play!"

"What is Sect Master Huang's relationship with him?"

Instantly, all the various factions were greatly astonished.

Those present had all heard of the Hundred Flowers Tower's name to varying degrees. Many had even personally visited Central Continent to explore this renowned establishment.

Thus, they all harbored some curiosity about the mastermind behind the Hundred Flowers Tower.

Now, seeing his true face, they couldn't help but feel a wave of surprise.

"To be perfectly honest."

Observing the crowd's reaction, Huang Qingxue continued, "This person is not only the mastermind behind the Hundred Flowers Tower, but also a... wicked cultivator hidden within the bustling city... who uses women as Cauldrons to enhance his power!"

Whoosh——

"What? He's actually a wicked cultivator?"

"Using women as Cauldrons... No wonder the Hundred Flowers Tower keeps so many beauties but they never accompany guests for drinks. So this kid is keeping them all for himself... I mean, are they all his personal Cauldrons?"

"No wonder his fame is so great yet no one has ever seen his true face... It turns out he can't stand the light!"

"Sect Master Huang, you mentioned him... Do you have some plan in mind?"

The crowd was once again greatly shocked.

Seeing the emotions they had stirred up, Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu exchanged a glance... The plan had progressed to this point, only the final push was needed.

Therefore, Huang Qingxue stated directly, "That wicked cultivator, due to using women as Cauldrons, possesses considerable power. Today, I wish to invite all of you to accompany me to Central Continent to crusade against this wicked cultivator... I wonder if you are willing?"

"Of course, I will not let your efforts be in vain. Whoever can defeat that wicked cultivator... we will offer ten heaven-rank weapons as thanks."

As Huang Qingxue spoke, she waved her sleeve;

Ten weapons—swords, spears, and halberds—emanating a profound aura, shimmered into existence before her like fleeting light. Then, with a wave of her jade hand, they were stored back into her storage ring.

Even for just a moment, it caused the entire venue to erupt.

"T-ten heaven-rank weapons... Am I dreaming?"

"Punishing evil and promoting good is the duty of us righteous individuals. Please lead the way, Sect Master Huang."

"I have practiced my ultimate art diligently for fifty years. Finally, in my lifetime, there is a place where it can be put to use."

Instantly, everyone's blood boiled with fervor.

Not to mention the immense value of ten heaven-rank weapons, which alone would be enough to establish a renowned School and attract countless powerful experts to become subordinates;

Simply learning that the mastermind behind the Hundred Flowers Tower was a wicked cultivator, coupled with the fact that Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu were leading the crusade, gave them no reason to hesitate.

After all, in recent years, the Hundred Flowers Tower had risen too quickly and its methods were ruthless.

It had already made many people jealous.

Now, learning that the Hundred Flowers Tower was created by a wicked cultivator, how could they—especially those who had suffered losses or lost face at the Hundred Flowers Tower—pass up this chance for revenge?

With all these factors combined, and the added glory of punishing evil and promoting good, the crowd naturally gathered and responded in unison!

"He must be captured alive!"

Just then, Jiang Susu suddenly spoke up, "If anyone dares to injure him too severely... or kill him... I, the Palace Mistress, will definitely slaughter his entire family!"

"?"

This sudden threat instantly froze the smiles on everyone's faces;

What's going on?

"Ahem!"

Huang Qingxue hurriedly shot a meaningful glance at her good sister and spoke to smooth things over, "What Palace Mistress Jiang means is that the wicked cultivator... is guilty of heinous crimes, and may even be holding many innocent people captive. To ensure we can rescue the innocent victims, we cannot simply eliminate him directly... So, when the time comes, we hope everyone can assist Palace Mistress Jiang and me in capturing this person alive. We would be immensely grateful!"

"You are too kind, Sect Master Huang. Rest assured."

"Exactly, with so many of us factions against him alone... the advantage is ours!"

"A mere wicked cultivator, even if he had three heads and six arms, we would make it impossible for him to escape. We will definitely capture him alive and hand him over to Sect Master Huang and Palace Mistress Jiang for disposal."

Everyone pledged confidently.

Thus, the group immediately set off for Central Continent.

Even the participating Disciples and spectators joined the vast crusading army.

Such a once-in-a-millennium crusade scene was something no one wanted to miss.

On the way.

An Elder from the Divine Phoenix Sect found Huang Qingxue, "Sect Master Huang, why were we unaware of this matter? Does your Revered Master know about this?"

"Such a trivial matter does not require consulting my Revered Master."

Huang Qingxue stated.

At the same time, the Elders of Yihua Palace similarly questioned Jiang Susu, naturally finding out that Pei Qingli had also not been notified.

This plan to crusade against Chen Qingxuan;

Was entirely concocted by Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu together, leveraging the other forces of the Cangyun Continent. Even those valuable heaven-rank weapons... were not taken from their Sects, but collected by themselves.

For three years, they had dreamed of this day... waiting for the moment to pin Chen Qingxuan to the ground!

...Central Continent.

As the vast army flew into the territory, countless forces in Central Continent were terrified by the news;

Especially those forces that had not participated in the First Cang Yun Grand Martial Arts Competition and were completely unaware of what was happening, they were trembling with fear and dared not show themselves.

For a thousand years, the Cangyun Continent had not seen such turmoil.

At the same time.

The Hundred Flowers Tower, which had been operating normally, dismissed all its guests, closed its doors, and activated its protective barrier.

Nearly a hundred stunningly beautiful women stood in orderly rows at the center of the main hall. In front of them was a visibly anxious Zhao Xiaoyin.

After giving a series of instructions;

She still couldn't rest easy and confirmed, "Have you all remembered what I said? You absolutely must not reveal any flaws. Whether the Hundred Flowers Tower can have a stable future... depends on this time."

"Rest assured, Manager Zhao, we have all remembered."

The women obediently nodded.

But the quiet air was filled with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere... [image]
