Chapter 131: The Predicament of Langya Pavilion

"Teacher, didn't you say you wouldn't be discovered?" Xiao Yan's tone was full of disdain; this old man was truly unreliable! He had bragged himself up to the heavens, yet he turned out to be completely useless.

At this moment, Yao Lao also drifted out from the Ring with a solemn expression, saying nothing. Hiding within the Ring, he knew very well how concealed his presence was.

Yet this Xiao Clan seemed quite extraordinary; merely based on the abnormal behavior of this brat Xiao Yan, they could deduce that someone was helping him from behind.

How terrifying!

Moreover... Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan with a strange look. With his many years of experience, how could he not know that Xiao Han's words just now were meant for him to hear?

It was entirely an insinuation that he had already entered the Xiao Clan's line of sight, warning him not to act rashly or do anything detrimental to Xiao Yan.

"Sigh, I really am old,

left behind!" Yao Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing silently. It was clearly just a Dou Zong clan in a remote place,

yet it gave him a feeling more dangerous than the top-tier forces of the Central Plains.

However,

Yao Lao did not dwell on it too much. He had never had any intention of harming Xiao Yan. Although he harbored some small ulterior motives, overall, he was indeed cultivating the latter as his disciple.

After all, even with Yao Lao's sharp eye, Xiao Yan met his requirements perfectly. More importantly... Xiao Yan was very sentimental.

When Yao Lao was hiding in the Ring observing Xiao Yan, the harmonious atmosphere between the latter and his father did not seem fake; this was the point that moved Yao Lao, this lonely old man, the most.

Taking Xiao Yan as a disciple, at least he wouldn't end up in a state of total ruin like before. Thinking of a certain "filial" disciple, Yao Lao felt conflicted...

"What's wrong, Teacher? Are you angry?" Sensing the change in the atmosphere around Yao Lao,

Xiao Yan asked curiously. He felt a bit strange inside, "Is this old man really so petty?"

"It's nothing!" Yao Lao came back to his senses and said nonchalantly.

"Really nothing?" Xiao Yan didn't believe him.

"Get lost,

you brat!" Yao Lao scolded with a laugh.

……

Central Plains,

Langya Pavilion.

"Sigh, in the blink of an eye, it's been ten years." Xiao Han was filled with emotion, "I wonder if they have missed me?"

However,

before Xiao Han could continue to relax, he keenly sensed the heavy atmosphere below at this moment.

"It seems someone wants to stir up trouble again!" Xiao Han's tone was flat, but his words carried a trace of killing intent. Before his voice had even faded, the space blurred, and Xiao Han's figure disappeared strangely once more.

Langya Pavilion main hall.

At this moment, over a dozen figures with terrifying auras were sitting in the hall. If any outsiders were here, they would be shocked to discover that everyone's strength was above the Nine-Star Peak Dou Zun level, and they were all advancing toward a certain realm, with the strongest even having reached that realm.

Yet, these figures, who were top-tier powerhouses in the outside world, were now full of worry and said nothing.

"Are you sure you don't need this Saint to take action?" At this time, a cold-tempered man in white broke the silence; it was none other than the Guest Elder, Thunder Spirit, whom Xiao Han had dragged over.

"Now is not the time for you to act." However, Yi Huang, sitting at the head, rejected this proposal.

"Are you sure?" Thunder Spirit's words were full of doubt. It wasn't that he looked down on them,

but the situation Langya Pavilion was currently facing was truly tricky.

"Five Dou Sheng,

can that Ye Jianxin and Old Man Sky Sound be their match?" As soon as Thunder Spirit said this,

the air pressure in the hall suddenly dropped significantly.

Many Elders also felt a sense of powerlessness; the fate of their Langya Pavilion could be described as bumpy.

There hadn't been a Saint-level battle in the Central Plains for many years. Yet, their Langya Pavilion's opponents in the last few decades had all been Dou Sheng. Thinking of this, the Elders' resentment toward a certain race that stabbed them in the back broke through the heavens.

"Vice Pavilion Master..." At this time, an Elder spoke with some hesitation, "How about... you invite the Pavilion Master out?"

"That's right, if the Pavilion Master comes out of seclusion, this matter would surely be simple."

"Exactly."

"……"

As soon as this Elder's suggestion appeared, it received the approval of many. The opponent this time was too terrifying; in everyone's eyes, only the invincible Pavilion Master coming out of seclusion could solve this problem.

Yi Huang frowned slightly. How could she not want that bastard to come out? It was just that, with his current strength, it would be useless even if he appeared now!

"Damn Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, we shouldn't have let them leave last time." Yi Huang gritted her teeth in her heart.

This predicament of Langya Pavilion was entirely caused by the sudden intervention of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

Back then, after Yi Huang rejected their proposal, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan went crazy and directly intervened in the struggle between Langya Pavilion and the Soul Hall. The two joined forces and caught Langya Pavilion off guard.

Fortunately, Langya Pavilion had many powerhouses, and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan did not use much force, so it didn't take long before they reached a stalemate again.

But the matter did not end easily. A month ago, three Dou Sheng suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's camp—the Tianyao Three Phoenixes.

However, if it were just that, Langya Pavilion wouldn't find it troublesome; they were merely two One-Star Dou Sheng and one mid-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng, not capable of making much of a splash.

Ye Jianxin had not wasted his time in these ten years. After nearly ten years of cultivation, he had long since advanced to a Two-Star Dou Sheng and reached the Two-Star Peak level. Coupled with his own powerful combat strength, he could completely fight three at once.

The real trouble was the troublemaker, the Soul Hall. Just as the few were in the midst of a fierce battle, the First Heavenly Venerable and Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall suddenly entered the fray, causing Ye Jianxin to fall into a disadvantage.

Fortunately, just as the battle situation was taking a turn for the worse, Tianyin Laoren arrived in time to help.

Having reached the One-Star Dou Sheng Peak, he used the uniqueness of a Sound Cultivator and his restraint against the Soul Hall to barely join forces with Ye Jianxin and force the five back.

However, everyone knew that things would not end so simply. Ye Jianxin and the other were no match for the five from the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan; if this continued, they would undoubtedly be defeated.

Moreover...

What was most worrying was that the grand move of the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan joining forces was definitely not as simple as just five Dou Sheng.

No one was a fool, especially the leaders of forces at the Dou Sheng level. Since Great Elder Ye Jianxin's strength was already so high, couldn't they guess the strength of the Ice Saint in Langya Pavilion?

If just two Dou Sheng from Langya Pavilion could contend with the opponent's five, what would the situation be if the Ice Saint took action?

Therefore, the enemy must have a backup plan. These three Dou Saints from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan are perhaps their greatest support; after all, they have their own territory to guard, and the Clan Leader as well as some powerhouses with one foot in the grave will not leave easily.

The Soul Hall is different; being able to persuade the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to help, and mobilizing such a large force, it is highly likely that their backers gave the instructions. As such... the possibility of the Soul Hall's Hall Master and Vice Hall Master personally entering the fray cannot be ruled out.

The reason Yi Huang does not allow Thunder Spirit to fight now is precisely because of this; he, who is already at the Four-Star Fighting Saint Late Stage, needs to deal with the enemy's strongest forces and must not be exposed easily.

Of course, Yi Huang only feels it is troublesome, it has not reached the point of despair. If anyone thinks that Langya Pavilion only has this much of a foundation...

Hehe~

They will give the other side a big "surprise"!

"It seems that I need to take action personally now!" Just as many people were feeling somewhat worried, a reassuring voice rang out in everyone's ears.
