Chapter 38: Clouds Moving in All Directions

The next day, the relevant news from yesterday had already been rapidly spread across the land of the Central Plains by those with ulterior motives.

After the fermentation of time, the reaction was clearly much more intense than it had been on the day itself.

Some of the more sluggish factions were caught off guard by such a sudden change of the heavens and the earth.

Has this day really been so long?

I woke up from a sleep, and Tianming Laoyao has become a Saint? He was finished off by the Langya Pavilion Master? The Tianming Sect is gone? The Langya Pavilion Master has become a Saint?

Is this really something that could happen in a single day?

It must be said that the actions of the people in Langya Pavilion were indeed swift; from the start of the operation to cleaning up the battlefield, it took less than half a day in total.

They even held a wedding along the way, perfectly interpreting what is meant by efficiency.

Although the sudden large-scale mobilization of Langya Pavilion yesterday and the movements within the Tianming Sect's base could not be hidden.

But this kind of lightning war was also something they had never seen before. It had never been played like this; two factions directly started fighting, and not even a whisper of wind could get out?

Facts proved that it really could not get out.

Strictly speaking, Langya Pavilion belonged to the side of passive counterattack. It was just that the Tianming Sect's strength was too weak, unable to even break through the Langya Pavilion's defensive line, which is quite embarrassing, isn't it?

In order to prevent news from leaking, Tianming Laoyao kept a tight watch on his subordinates, to the point that even ordinary Elders did not know.

And Langya Pavilion acted entirely on a whim, mobilizing directly.

Then, the Tianming Sect was just like that, beaten to collapse.

Well, one can only say that this is entirely a gap in hard power, something not achievable by human effort!

As for the destruction of the Tianming Sect, many people in the Central Plains wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate; after all, this was a great scourge of the Central Plains.

Not only was their method of cultivation extremely cruel, with the selection of Disciples based primarily on an insect-rearing style, but the conduct of the Tianming Sect's Disciples was also loathed by everyone.

However, the subsequent division of the Tianming Sect's original sphere of influence also allowed many factions to see an opportunity.

If they could take the opportunity to get a little bit of the scraps, then for many small and medium-sized sects, it could lead to a sudden surge in strength.

However, although they thought this way, they did not dare to put it into action, otherwise the blades of Langya Pavilion would let them know who the boss is!

Regarding that mysteriously appearing group of Langya Guards, most factions in the Central Plains expressed extreme awe.

Nearly forty Dou Zuns; it is estimated that only a few major factions could bring out such a number.

Even if the Four Directions Pavilion merged, they could not scrape together so many Dou Zun powerhouses. Compared to Langya Pavilion, the performance of the Four Directions Pavilion was truly too lackluster.

Four Directions Pavilion: "It is we who have lost the face of the Four Directions Pavilion."

Rumors have even begun to circulate in the Central Plains that the Four Directions Pavilion is unworthy of its name and should be directly abolished.

Regarding this, while the Four Directions Pavilion was extremely angry, they were also helpless.

The mouth grows on someone else's body, so what can you do?

Therefore, the cultivation atmosphere in the Four Directions Pavilion has greatly improved during this period, and many Elders and Disciples have begun to cultivate diligently.

They long for a chance to wipe away the shame, although it is not very realistic.

After all, Langya Pavilion spent over a hundred years nursing their strength and biding their time; if you could catch up just by working this hard for a while, how could they bear it?

But one must always have dreams; what if they come true?

However, these are all stories for later.

Let us analyze again the factions that can bring out forty Dou Zun powerhouses.

Even those factions that can bring them out are somewhat solemn at this time. They can bring out so many Dou Zun powerhouses because they have large families and many businesses.

Like the Pill Tower; in terms of wealth, it can be called the greatest on the entire continent. Alchemists are already wealthy, and the Pill Tower is the holy land for Alchemists on the continent, so it is even more filthy rich.

And the Soul Hall, needless to say, with the Soul Clan as a great backer, resources will certainly not be lacking.

This is still the stuff in the shadows, which most people do not know about.

There is also the stuff in the open.

Although on the surface they all look like a bunch of unlucky bastards who offend people, from the Soul Hall Heavenly Venerates and Venerable Elders down to the ordinary cannon fodder Soul Envoys, there are not many who look like rich people.

But they have a wide range of business; they have branches in almost every place on the continent without blind spots. Just scraping a little bit is enough for the organization's expenses.

The other factions either have a long history and rich inventory, or they have many industries and earn ten thousand gold a day.

But as for this place called Langya Pavilion, one has never heard of them having any industries; where did all this ill-gotten wealth come from?

However, Langya Pavilion had no intention of caring about the speculations of other factions.

Nowadays, the people of Langya Pavilion, led by Great Elder Ye Jianxin, are busy receiving another batch of gifts—greetings from many factions.

Yes, that is right, there are no Pavilion Master or Vice Pavilion Master; these past few days have been a good time for those two.

It is exactly the time of newlyweds, as inseparable as glue and lacquer; in the entire Langya Pavilion, who would dare to disturb those two, do they not want to work anymore?

The Pavilion Master becoming a Saint powerhouse is a joyous occasion, so many factions naturally have to give a gift, and this portion of gifts is also quite generous. Even the Pill Tower gave one.

After all, there are not many who are stubborn enough to hope that a Saint powerhouse will come to sit in their own sect, or even drink tea.

There is another portion that is slightly worse; they are all things sent by some inferior sects.

There is no help for this; after all, their power is small to begin with, so how could they get anything good? Even if they had it, they could not keep it!

Once the news leaked out here, the next day several powerhouses came to visit to drink tea.

Regarding this, the people of Langya Pavilion were still quite easy to talk to, and they expressed understanding of their requests, saying that they could give an answer in a few more days.

These sects sent gifts just hoping to probe for information from Langya Pavilion, asking if they could take over some of the territory that once belonged to the Tianming Sect.

After all, it is impossible for Langya Pavilion to take over the entire territory of the Tianming Sect.

At the same time, there were also some factions formerly under the Tianming Sect that survived because Langya Pavilion could not spare the hands to act at the time.

These people were trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, and sent the most valuable things in their entire sect, almost emptying the sect's treasury; it was simply full of sincerity.

There is no other way; in the eyes of these sects, they were originally just a group of fish that slipped through the net.

If they do not act sensibly, who knows when the old accounts will be dug up, and what will they do if they are executed according to the law?

In fact, Langya Pavilion did not care much about this part of the factions, and originally intended to just let them be.

Since they had all come knocking, Langya Pavilion naturally gave them a promise, letting them return home with peace of mind.

It took several days of busy work to finally finish counting all the gifts, including the congratulatory gifts from the wedding banquet a few days ago. It could be said that this wave of gifts had left Langya Pavilion's hands sore from receiving them.

But because a bunch of bastards from the Tianming Sect had caused trouble halfway through, they had received quite a bit less than they should have.

Thinking of this, many Elders and Disciples of Langya Pavilion even thought in their hearts about whether they should drag out the corpses of those Tianming Sect people and whip them.

Oh, they had already been ground to dust? Then never mind.

Looking at the lists of various resources in front of him, Ye Jianxin was already grinning from ear to ear.

There is too much; it truly makes me, Lao Ye, feel overwhelmed with gratitude!

However, how should I give it to those two people?

Forget it; after thinking about the consequences of going there now, Ye Jianxin decisively shook his head. He would just store it away first; it wouldn't get lost anyway.

Then, glancing at the mountain of documents and official business piled up on the desk in front of him, Ye Jianxin only felt that his life had lost all hope.

How on earth did Yi Huang manage to do it back then? Could this be the power of love?

Thinking of how these were mostly matters concerning the cities under the jurisdiction of the Tianming Sect.

Ye Jianxin gave a strange smile, searched through the pile of documents for a while, and picked out a portion to deal with first.

And then...

Hehehe~
