Chapter 863: Wu Xing Natural Curse

"Fine, I agree." Chen Yu pondered for a moment: "However, what do you need me to do?"

"Just handle some of the tricky matters that the Five Elements Pavilion cannot deal with," Xu Lao smiled slightly: "At other times, you remain a free man."

"That works." Chen Yu nodded.

"Haha, good. This is the Five Elements Order; keep it safe. In the Five Elements Pavilion, seeing the Order is like seeing me in person." Xu Lao laughed heartily and took out a dark, heavy token.

The front of this token was engraved with a giant dragon, and the back bore the three large characters for "Five Elements Pavilion" written in seal script.

The moment Chen Yu took the token, he felt quite like he had boarded a pirate ship, but since things had already reached this point, regret was useless. Moreover, accepting this token was beneficial to both parties.

After settling these matters, Chen Yu was considered a member of the Five Elements Pavilion, but since it was his first time here, he wanted to walk around and get to know the place.

Originally, Yan Yue was showing him around at the start, but later she received a mission, so Chen Yu let her go attend to it while he looked around the place on his own.

The sixth floor is the Mysterious Scripture Pavilion of the Five Elements Pavilion.

The space inside is vast and filled with books on all kinds of Mystic Gate Strange Arts, including yin/yang, feng shui, Life, Appearance, arrays, and Talisman casting. It is practically an encyclopedia library; many things lost during the Four Olds period in Huaxia can be found here.

Chen Yu had just been pacing around flipping through a few books when a burst of footsteps came from behind him.

Immediately after, the door to this floor clicked shut tightly, and then the lights in the room turned on one by one.

Six men surrounded Chen Yu in an open area, and Chen Yu recognized the one in the lead—it was Feng Yuanlong.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu glanced at Feng Yuanlong; in truth, he knew clearly that this guy was looking for trouble.

"Heh, Chen Yu, you were very arrogant last time. Now that you've come to the Five Elements Pavilion, how do you think I'll deal with you?" Feng Yuanlong sneered.

"You still remember what happened last time?" Chen Yu smiled: "I don't feel I was very arrogant. On the contrary, I dealt with the Corpse Fiend and saved you. If you had even a shred of conscience, you should be kowtowing to thank me when you see me this time."

"Shut your mouth! Chen Yu, you are truly too self-righteous. I am an official disciple of the Five Elements Pavilion, and my master is Xu Zhenshan, Xu Lao, the Pavilion Master of the Five Elements Pavilion," Feng Yuanlong raged: "I kowtow to apologize to you? You must be crazy."

"So, what are you trying to do this time?" Chen Yu glanced at this fellow and said indifferently.

"Naturally, I'm here to dampen your spirit," Feng Yuanlong sneered: "Chen Yu, you do have some skills, actually being able to take on a Corpse Fiend alone."

"However, these five Senior Brothers of mine are all quite capable within the Five Elements Pavilion. Do you think you can escape today?"

"Escape? Why would I need to escape?" Chen Yu looked at this fellow with confusion.

"Haha, it's useless even if you try to escape. This is the Five Elements Pavilion, and this Scripture Pavilion is built primarily on mechanism arts, based on the Five Elements directions and the principles of Taiji. Once the door is closed, you cannot get out at all," Feng Yuanlong laughed wildly.

"So what exactly do you want to do? Get to the point." Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

"Kowtow to apologize to me, then crawl out from here, and call me 'Grandpa' three times. If you do, I'll let you leave today," Feng Yuanlong stood with his legs spread apart.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu looked at this moron as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Why so much nonsense? Once you enter our Five Elements Pavilion, if you're a dragon, you must coil; if you're a tiger, you must lie down." One member could no longer hold back; he stepped forward to grab Chen Yu by the back of his neck: "Still not going to cooperate and kneel?"

Crack... Following a scream, that member's face turned deathly pale, and he looked at Chen Yu in terror.

His hand was caught in Chen Yu's grip. As Chen Yu applied force, his hand made cracking sounds, and he was now in so much pain that his face had turned white.

"If I were you, I certainly wouldn't come here to embarrass the Five Elements Pavilion," Chen Yu smiled: "Now, I'll give you a chance: kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake, and I will spare your lives."

"Presumptuous! You dare to run wild in our Five Elements Pavilion? See if I don't teach you a lesson." A slightly stronger man stepped forward. With a loud shout, three Talismans appeared in his hand.

He formed hand seals, and the three Talismans suddenly floated in mid-air. As he chanted, the three Talismans suddenly ignited for no reason.

With a 'whoosh', the three Talismans lit up, and then three ice cones, three Wind Blades, and three fireballs suddenly exploded forth.

Five Elements Natural Talisman, an extremely powerful Talisman Magic in the Mystic Gate, capable of condensing natural elements like ice blades and fireballs as a means of attack; it is very formidable.

"Senior Brother Gao has great methods." Everyone couldn't help but cheer, and these people shouted excitedly: "Give him a taste of his own medicine."

"Kid, if you don't admit your mistake now, I won't be polite," the man surnamed Gao stared at Chen Yu and shouted.

The ice cones, Wind Blades, and fireballs were spinning incessantly in front of this guy, looking quite imposing, but Chen Yu could tell from his trembling hands that he was actually using all his strength to drive these three Talismans.

"And if I don't admit it?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"If you don't admit it, I, I will..." The man surnamed Gao's lips trembled, but he couldn't continue his sentence.

"Senior Brother Gao, give him a taste of his own medicine."

"That's right, daring to be so arrogant in our Five Elements Pavilion, he is truly tired of living."

"Senior Brother Gao, take him down."

A group of people on the side were clamoring; they were truly furious.

"If you can't hold on, then don't," Chen Yu smiled: "If these three Talismans explode, they could burn down a third of the Scripture Pavilion. Can you bear the consequences?"

"You..." The man surnamed Gao's expression froze. Chen Yu was right; this was the Scripture Pavilion. If such high-powered Talismans were to explode, the consequences would be extremely severe, and he could not bear them.

He pulled his hands back, wanting to forcibly retract the three Talismans in his hand.

But unfortunately, his strength was insufficient. The three Natural Talismans were already like arrows on a bowstring, forced to be released. His attempt to retract them caused the backlash of Spiritual Power to make him spit out a mouthful of blood, and he fell backward onto the ground, with only half a life left.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded; no one had expected that Senior Brother Gao, who had been so imposing just a moment ago, would now have lost half his life.

"This kid must know sorcery. Everyone, let's attack together and take him down for me." Someone shouted.

"Right, this kid must know sorcery. Senior Brothers, let's attack together." Feng Yuanlong instantly sobered up. He knew he was no match for Chen Yu, so now they could only swarm him.

Thus, this group of people pulled out their most powerful defensive weapons and began chanting mantras; for a time, the room felt chillingly cold.

The strength of these people was actually at the very bottom of the Five Elements Pavilion; most of them were using the Wu Xing Natural Curse, using Spiritual Power to drive Talismans to harm others.
