Chapter 296: The Oppressive Treasure Pavilion

After returning to Dongxuan City.

The portal connecting to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven opened once more.

Ye Qingxuan's true body had already prepared array plates and transmitted them all to Dongxuan City.

The array plates involving thousands of formations from the first to the sixth realm were naturally not personally forged by Ye Qingxuan in such a short time.

These array plates were all purchased externally by Ye Qingxuan through the Tianfu Shop.

After obtaining the array plates, the external avatar controlled by Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness did not immediately return to the Waterland Realm.

He turned around and fled directly in another direction.

This direction was precisely where the Treasure Pavilion's main hall was located.

His external avatar had finally found an opportunity to break free.

The barrier condensed by the sixth-realm supreme great formation of Treasure City had suddenly shattered.

This city was Treasure City, directly governed by the Treasure Pavilion.

The overwhelming might of the Starlight Hall after its revival caused the surrounding air to roar continuously.

The entire Treasure City was covered by a sixth-realm supreme great formation, preventing his spiritual sense from probing deeply.

He paid no heed to the exclamations of the residents within Treasure City.

The location of the Treasure Pavilion's main hall was approximately four million li from Dongxuan City.

"Boom!"

Under Ye Qingxuan's perception.

The people of the Treasure Pavilion's main hall had just reacted.

Naturally, they did not want to miss this opportunity.

In the next moment, starlight flowed around the Starlight Hall, erupting in dazzling light that rapidly expanded.

Looking at the group who had already taken to the sky, led by Gu Daoxu.

The sixth-realm supreme great formation covering the entire Treasure City, suppressed by the partially revived Starlight Hall, lasted only a brief moment.

Without saying much, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and retrieved the Starlight Hall.

As a commercial power, the Treasure Pavilion's main hall was built directly within a city.

Ye Qingxuan flew at full speed for quite a while before arriving above the Treasure Pavilion's main hall.

Ye Qingxuan said lightly:

"Everyone, long time no see?"

Seizing this opportunity, he intended to make the Treasure Pavilion pay for its previous actions.

Under Ye Qingxuan's control, it descended directly above the Treasure Pavilion's main hall, located at the very center of Treasure City.

Using the power of the partially revived Starlight Hall fueled by low-grade spirit crystals.

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan had broken the protective great formation of Treasure City, Gu Daoxu's expression changed.

Sensing the intense oppression brought by the Starlight Hall hovering above everyone's heads.

Gu Daoxu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and put on a forced smile, saying:

"So it is the Lord of Dongxuan City gracing us with your presence. The Treasure Pavilion failed to welcome you from afar; please forgive us!"

Glancing at the smile on Gu Daoxu's old face, Ye Qingxuan was too lazy to waste words with him and stated bluntly:

"Old man, you led an attack on my Dongxuan City before; how do you intend to settle this karmic debt now?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Gu Daoxu respectfully bowed and said:

"The Treasure Pavilion is willing to take the Lord of Dongxuan City's opinion as our guide!"

Seeing that this old fellow from the Treasure Pavilion was at least reasonable, Ye Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction and said softly:

"Open your Treasure Pavilion's treasury!"

"This?"

Hearing this request from Ye Qingxuan, even though Gu Daoxu had been mentally prepared, he could not help but hesitate.

Seeing Gu Daoxu hesitate, a flash of cold light appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes as he said:

"What? Unwilling?"

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan shifted his mind.

The light of the Starlight Hall covering the Treasure Pavilion group intensified greatly, pressing down on them until they could barely breathe.

Feeling the sudden increase in pressure from the Starlight Hall, Gu Daoxu hurriedly waved his hands and said:

"No, no, no, we are willing."

Having spoken, Gu Daoxu no longer hesitated.

His spiritual sense surged, directly closing an array at a certain location of the Treasure Pavilion from a distance and opening the treasury within the Treasure Pavilion's main hall.

In this situation, Gu Daoxu could only choose to preserve the Treasure Pavilion's legacy first.

If they were all killed in a rage by the current Lord of Dongxuan City.

Then the Treasure Pavilion would truly be finished.

The destruction of the Treasure Pavilion's legacy was something Gu Daoxu could never accept.

After Gu Daoxu opened the Treasure Pavilion's treasury.

Without the concealment of the array, Ye Qingxuan instantly pinpointed the location of the Treasure Pavilion's treasury.

His spiritual sense surged and spread.

With the protective great formation of Treasure City gone, it could no longer block Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense.

His spiritual sense covered the entire treasury of the Treasure Pavilion.

Looking at the treasury where spiritual light flashed, Ye Qingxuan did not pick and choose.

His spiritual sense swept out, instantly packing the entire treasury of the Treasure Pavilion into his storage ring.

Sensing Ye Qingxuan's action, Gu Daoxu maintained a smile on his surface, but his heart was already bleeding.

The many Supreme Pavilion Masters behind him lacked Gu Daoxu's depth of scheming; each wore a gloomy expression.

The treasury of the Treasure Pavilion's main hall contained the accumulated wealth of most of the Pavilion's generations.

Ye Qingxuan ignored their reactions and continued speaking:

"From now on, seventy percent of your Treasure Pavilion's annual revenue must be regularly delivered to Dongxuan City."

"That is impossible."

Upon hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Gu Daoxu had not yet spoken.

One of the Soul Transformation mid-realm Supreme Pavilion Masters behind him could no longer tolerate Ye Qingxuan's outrageous demand.

After roaring, this Soul Transformation mid-realm Supreme Pavilion Master glared viciously at Ye Qingxuan and said:

"This is Treasure City, where tens of millions of mortal residents live. Fighting here would inevitably harm countless common people."

"I do not believe you would dare to create such a massive karmic sin."

"Shut up!"

The moment this Supreme Pavilion Master finished speaking, Gu Daoxu could not help but glare at him and scold him.

Using one's own residents to threaten an enemy? Was his brain broken?

If not for the powerful enemy present, Gu Daoxu would have dug into his brain to see what structure it had.

However, this Supreme Pavilion Master clearly remained unconvinced, looking at Gu Daoxu and asking in confusion:

"Great Pavilion Master, with so many Soul Transformation Venerables among us, why should we fear a single magic treasure?"

"You simply do not understand the power of a low-grade spiritual treasure."

As a former owner of a low-grade spiritual treasure, Gu Daoxu understood very well the power unleashed after such a treasure awakens.

This was the reason he dared not defy Ye Qingxuan's conditions after seeing the awakened Starlight Hall.

However, this Soul Transformation mid-realm Supreme Pavilion Master, with his proud bones, still refused to yield, saying:

"I simply do not believe he has enough spiritual power to maintain the awakening of a low-grade spiritual treasure for so long."

Hearing these words, Gu Daoxu's eyes flickered.

Instinctively glancing at the Starlight Hall above, which had been in a continuous state of awakening, he thought silently:

"It seems... there is some truth to that. If we delay a bit longer, perhaps..."

At this thought, Gu Daoxu's heart immediately surged with excitement.

Perhaps, this time, their Treasure Pavilion could still reclaim a low-grade spiritual treasure.

Thus, Gu Daoxu began to pretend to angrily scold that Soul Transformation mid-realm Supreme Pavilion Master, thoroughly educating him in front of Ye Qingxuan.

Unfortunately, Gu Daoxu did not know.

Ye Qingxuan was directly using low-grade spirit crystals to activate the Starlight Hall.

For convenience, Ye Qingxuan had placed no small number of spirit crystals inside the Starlight Hall.

Across from him, Ye Qingxuan looked speechlessly at Gu Daoxu and that Soul Transformation mid-realm "great genius," saying impatiently:

"Enough, stop acting."
