Chapter 990: Knowing There's a Tiger in the Mountain!

Just now seeing Fellow Daoist easily exterminate the Sun family branch, it's undeniably shocking. Previously, several elders of my Heaven Fragrance Pavilion acted recklessly, secretly deciding to hand Master Tie Xiaoqing over to Sun Chen; that was indeed our mistake. The pavilion lord has already set up a banquet, willing to apologize!

Several elders of the Heaven Fragrance Pavilion slightly bent their bodies, appearing somewhat humble.

They are actually Four-Star Inquiry Dao Realm cultivators!

Making such an attitude makes outsiders feel their invitation is extremely sincere!

Lu Xuan's mouth corner slightly rose, 'Oh?'

Previously, Heaven Fragrance Pavilion Lord Wei Feng had already 'apologized,' but Lu Xuan sensed something else.

Although he had previously examined Sun Chen's memory, there was no trace of Pavilion Lord Wei Feng.

But for subordinates to act, how could it not be Wei Feng's intention?

This meal probably isn't a good meal, right?

However, he had previously investigated Heaven Fragrance Pavilion; there are indeed many Inquiry Dao Realm experts stationed here, but the strongest is at most Six-Star Inquiry Dao Realm.

Even if these people all joined forces, they would not be his opponent!

Originally intending to retrieve the Big Black Cauldron for Master Tie Xiaoqing, since Wei Feng invited him, it's a good chance to return to Heaven Fragrance Pavilion.

This debt, whether it should be settled or not, must be settled!

He, Lu Xuan, must repay his debts!

Seeing Lu Xuan hesitate, several Heaven Fragrance Pavilion elders immediately said, 'Fellow Daoist, don't worry. These days, our Master has consulted Master Tie Xiaoqing many times, already learning at least half of the essence of her Dao of Eating!'

'So, this time the dishes we prepare are done with all our effort, completely different from when Fellow Daoist first came! It can be said to be overturned heaven and earth!'

Lu Xuan said, 'Oh?'

Tie Xiaoqing then crossed her arms over her full chest, cutely questioning, 'Is that so? But I think you guys are really stupid!'

Several Heaven Fragrance Pavilion elders: '......'

They felt a surge of contempt in their hearts.

Isn't that so?

You actually really think we're going back to eat?

Several elders asked, 'Fellow Daoist, how about it?'

Lu Xuan said, 'Let's go.'

At that moment, a very urgent voice entered Lu Xuan's ears via secret technique voice transmission: 'Fellow Daoist, absolutely do not go! I am Elder Chen Liang of the Heaven-Burying Alliance; I have secretly observed that the Heaven Fragrance Pavilion is cooperating with the Sun family, and your female servant is entirely someone the Heaven Fragrance Pavilion handed over to the Sun family.'

'Returning to Heaven Fragrance Pavilion this time is literally going into the tiger's den. What meal are you talking about? That's completely a beheading meal intended to kill you! If I'm not mistaken, Pavilion Lord Wei Feng of Heaven Fragrance Pavilion completely used the Sun family branch as a probe to test your strength.'

Lu Xuan lightly smiled and said, 'You see things quite clearly.'

Elder Chen Liang said, 'Fellow Daoist, you'd better follow me away! I can swear a Great Dao Oath, absolutely will not harm you.'

'To be frank, Fellow Daoist, I greatly value your spatial attainments! If you join us, we can do more for the Spirit Martial Emperor.'

In his words, Elder Chen Liang was somewhat excited.

Lu Xuan secretly thought, 'This guy is truly someone secretly working for Yang Ling'er.'

He retorted, 'Don't you think the Heaven-Burying Alliance has no hope? No matter how you resist, you will ultimately not be a match for the Lord of Qingming Heaven.'

Elder Chen Liang was momentarily stunned by Lu Xuan's question.

Shouldn't that be the case?

This white-robed Fellow Daoist looks like someone opposing the Qing and seeking restoration, right?

But after thinking, Elder Chen Liang still said, 'Fellow Daoist, do not neglect small good deeds! Our strength is indeed limited, but we can always help the Spirit Martial Emperor a bit! Fellow Daoist, you too? As a mere Three-Star Inquiry Dao Realm cultivator, you dare to exterminate the Sun family branch! Such courage earns my admiration.'

Lu Xuan smiled, 'Not bad. Your organization is somewhat interesting.'

Elder Chen Liang was somewhat displeased, not expecting such an evaluation, and continued, 'Fellow Daoist, opportunity must not be missed, time will not come again; you'd better leave with us quickly! We can guarantee your safety.'

Lu Xuan lightly said, 'Wait until I go back to have a meal, then we can chat.'

This Heaven-Burying Alliance, upon first contact, is actually not bad.

By then, let him see what's going on!

If we can help Yang Ling'er, that would be even better.

Meanwhile, several Heaven Fragrance Pavilion elders took out a black formation disk and directly activated it.

Boom—

A terrifying spatial power surged, turning into brilliant starlight, directly opening a Space Channel, inviting Lu Xuan: 'Lu Xuan, please. The pavilion lord has been waiting for a while.'

Lu Xuan nodded, 'Let's go.'

Soon, Lu Xuan and two others, along with several Heaven Fragrance Pavilion elders, stepped into the Space Channel.

Other experts were all stunned for a moment.

This white-robed man really dares to return to Heaven Fragrance Pavilion?

Originally some people were going to attack Lu Xuan, but seeing Heaven Fragrance Pavilion intervene, they held back.

And the several elders of the Heaven-Burying Alliance were somewhat frustrated, exclaiming, 'Elder Chen Liang, this white-robed man is simply uncarveable rotten wood! You clearly told him about various important connections, yet he is so stubborn!'

'Really infuriating! This white-robed man knows there's a tiger in the mountain, yet insists on going there!'

Elder Chen Liang slightly furrowed his brow, weighing pros and cons, but soon made up his mind: 'Go! We'll also return to Heaven Fragrance Pavilion to see if there's a chance to rescue him!'

If there's no chance, then his fate is sealed; we cannot be blamed for being heartless.

Several other elders nodded, 'Alright.'

Among the crowd, other experts also successively unleashed spatial means, wanting to return to Heaven Fragrance Pavilion to see the outcome of that white-robed man.

On his body, a large 'death' character is written!

……

Heaven Fragrance Pavilion.

In an extremely luxurious private chamber, jade pillars stand upright, engraved with many brilliant Dao patterns; the void dome is even more dazzling, Dao Resonance abundant, giving rise to auspicious beasts roaming about, with comforting Great Dao power descending, the floor covered with a red carpet, exuding a faint fragrance.

This place has become its own little world!

This is one of the most luxurious private rooms of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

The proprietor, Wei Feng, stood in the room, greeting several young ladies to serve dishes.

In the room stood a large table, looking antiquated and fragrant; it was made of starry divine wood, carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, exuding an extraordinary aura.

At that moment, a hemp‑clad old woman walked in, bent and hunched as if carrying a great mountain on her back, her hair half‑white and all tied up, leaning on a cane, she gave Wei Feng a faint nod.

Fellow Daoist Su Yun, when the time comes, heed my command.

The hemp‑clad old woman nodded and took the seat arranged by Wei Feng.

This old woman is the elder ancestor of the Su family, with late‑stage cultivation of the Five‑Star Inquiry Dao realm, possessing the Su family's secret art, the Illusion Divine Decree!

She is an ally carefully selected by Wei Feng to counter Lu Xuan!

Soon after, a middle‑aged man carrying a star plate entered, wearing a star‑robe embroidered with countless stars, as he walked he shone brightly; his bearing was extraordinary, and as soon as he stepped into the room, the Grand Dao on his body faintly resonated with the void above his head.

Wei Feng smiled, "Fellow Daoist Mo Cai, long time no see."
