Chapter 890: Chapter 888: The Grand Assembly Begins
"Since Brother Wang has his matters to attend to, we should handle the affairs here properly to help him stabilize the rear."
Luo Xue continued, "Today’s events are of paramount importance to our Sky Pavilion and absolutely cannot afford any errors."
"Hurry up and get to your respective duties, make sure today’s assembly proceeds smoothly."
Xuan Yu and Xiang Tian both nodded.
In an instant, Xiang Tian headed towards Tian Ge Zhi.
A figure in the distance gradually approached them.
Upon closer inspection, Luo Xue’s face instantly turned grim and she clenched her fist.
"Never expected Huo Yuan to come here."
A spectator standing nearby slowly spoke.
In just a few steps, Huo Yuan was already in front of Luo Xue and Xiang Tian.
After glancing at the two of them, he revealed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and then asked, "Why isn’t Wang Zhan here? Do you two think you can handle the situation?" frёeωebɳovel.com
"Brother Wang naturally has matters he needs to deal with."
Luo Xue crossed her arms and, after a cold glance at Huo Yuan, she spoke word by word, "If you are here to offer your congratulations, that would be best. But if you’ve come to cause trouble, don’t blame us for being rude."
"Heh..."
A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Huo Yuan’s lips, and he contemptuously said, "Rest assured, you few aren’t worthy opponents for me. If Wang Zhan doesn’t show up, how meaningless would it be?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yinshan appeared walking over from the side.
Qiu Yinshan lazily glanced at Luo Xue and the others before he faintly said, "Seems Wang Zhan isn’t here, letting these youngsters handle the situation? I bet today’s assembly will be quite tedious..."
After hearing this voice, Huo Yuan also slowly turned his head.
The two exchanged a smile, as if they had reached some sort of agreement.
As the two entered the Sky Pavilion, people around them immediately began to discuss.
"How come Huo Yuan and Qiu Yinshan are here?"
"Wasn’t it said that the people from Sky Pavilion and Profound Ice Pavilion don’t get along?"
"Could the news have been mistaken?"
"How is that possible? Didn’t you hear what Huo Yuan and Qiu Yinshan were saying? They are clearly here to make trouble."
"Today, there might be a spectacle to watch!"
For a while, everyone’s eyes shone brightly.
Among the crowd, someone spoke again: "You can’t say that; it’s said that the master of the Sky Pavilion is extraordinarily powerful. He’s called Wang Zhan, who single-handedly established the Sky Pavilion. The most terrifying thing is that he’s very young, with much potential for future advancement. Such a person should not be underestimated."
"Though Huo Yuan and Qiu Yinshan come with gusto now, if Wang Zhan is here, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly."
The crowd nodded instead, and nobody spoke.
Watching the two disappear from everyone’s line of sight, Luo Xue walked to Xuan Yu’s side, then frowned and said, "Seems today’s assembly is rather troublesome."
Huo Yuan and Qiu Yinshan appearing here simultaneously is surely no simple coincidence.
Thinking of this, Luo Xue’s face showed a few more degrees of seriousness, then she said in a deep voice, "If they dare to cause trouble, quickly inform Feng Tianci. With his support, it’s hard for us to contend with these two, and if a fight breaks out, it won’t do us much good..."
Xuan Yu naturally understood this very well.
After glancing at the people coming and going, Xuan Yu walked to Luo Xue’s side and patted her shoulder, then said, "Alright, wait here for a while. I’ll head to the back mountain to find Feng Tianci first. After all, he’s been in seclusion lately, and we don’t know his status. I must give him a heads-up beforehand."
Luo Xue nodded.
In a short amount of time, Dong Tianlei also arrived from afar.
With Dong Tianlei’s arrival, another commotion erupted.
Everyone knew there were three major factions in this area: Profound Ice Pavilion, Luoxing Mountain, and Skyfire Mountain.
Now that the representatives of all three major factions have gathered here, even if nothing happens today, no one would believe it.
Dong Tianlei approached Luo Xue and showed a slight smile, then said, "Why isn’t Wang Zhan here? What’s he been busy with lately?"
Since the last meeting, Dong Tianlei has seldom appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
However, Luo Xue’s impression of him is still quite favorable.
Luo Xue smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wang has some matters and won’t show up for a while, but he should appear before the assembly starts."
Although there are some frictions with the people from Luoxing Mountain currently, compared to Profound Ice Pavilion and Skyfire Mountain, those frictions are trivial.
Xiang Tian doesn’t understand the big picture, but Luo Xue can see the situation clearly.
If they were to make Luoxing Mountain an enemy at this time, it would be disadvantageous for them.
Dong Tianlei chuckled and said, "Then I won’t continue to disturb you. I just spotted a few old friends, I’ll go say hello."
"You should go ahead and attend to your business."
Luo Xue said a sentence, then her gaze was already fixed in the distance.
...
At the same time, inside the back mountain.
Xuan Yu respectfully walked to the front of a cave. He stood outside the cave and then shouted towards the inside, "Sir, are you in there?"
However, there was no response.
Xuan Yu slightly furrowed his brow, then scratched his head, muttering to himself, "Could it be that he’s not here?"
Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in his ears, and immediately, he saw a black light burst forth from inside the cave.
Xuan Yu was startled, quickly retreating a few steps.
Once he steadied his footing, he then looked towards the black light.
A figure slowly emerged from the black light, glanced at Xuan Yu, and then asked indifferently, "Isn’t there some sort of conference today? Why aren’t you up front entertaining those people, but instead coming here to disturb my rest?"
"I..."
After hesitating, Xuan Yu slowly spoke, "Quite a few enemy factions came today, and I’m worried that there might be issues, so I had to come and inform you. In case of a dire situation, we may need your assistance..."
"Where is Wang Zhan?"
Feng Tianci slightly furrowed his brows as he asked.
"Three days ago, he went out for training and afterwards, there was no news. I don’t even know what he’s busy with, not even if he can make it back today..."
Xuan Yu quickly explained.
Feng Tianci spoke with impatience on his face, "I knew that kid was unreliable. Who knows what he’s been up to, maybe he’s already died somewhere outside. If that’s the case, I won’t stay here any longer, after all, your people can’t give me what I want."
Xuan Yu awkwardly smiled.
He hadn’t expected Feng Tianci to be so pragmatic.
Most importantly, Feng Tianci directly uttered those words in his face, clearly not taking him seriously...
But indeed that’s how it was. If he were to confront Feng Tianci, he’d probably be beaten back within a few moves, with no chance to counterattack...
Standing aside, Feng Tianci then spoke again, "Rest assured, when it’s my time to act, I will naturally lend a hand. Besides, my strength has recovered a lot recently, I’m also eager to stretch my muscles and see if I’ve improved or regressed compared to before."
"It’s just a pity that I didn’t sense any formidable presence appearing just now, engaging them would be quite dull."
Xuan Yu awkwardly smiled wide. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
If someone else said something like this, it might be considered a joke, but when Feng Tianci says it, it should not be underestimated.
Feng Tianci lazily stretched as he then said again, "Alright, you go up front to deal with it first, I need to rest more."
"Besides, remember to tell them afterwards not to disturb me, next time, I won’t be so gentle."
Uh...
Xuan Yu was immediately covered in black lines.
Was this supposed to be gentle?
If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, he might already be a corpse by now...
After everything was arranged, Xuan Yu didn’t linger, and in the blink of an eye, headed down the mountain.
Feng Tianci soared straight into the sky, standing at the highest mountain peak, glanced at the people inside the Tian Pavilion, then sneered disdainfully, shaking his head, "Besides Wang Zhan, they’re all a bunch of losers. Even this useless bunch can’t be dealt with, really wonder what the people in this Star Domain are thinking."
Feng Tianci no longer paid them any more attention, only to be seen sitting cross-legged, and slowly closing his eyes.
...
Down the mountain, inside the Tian Pavilion.
Many figures stood inside the Great Hall.
Upon noticing Huo Yuan and others sitting on the side, the crowd began murmuring again.
"How did they come here?"
"What’s more important is that all three have arrived, could it be that they’ve already conspired to deal with the people from Tian Pavilion together?"
"Not necessarily, after all, I’ve heard Wang Zhan doesn’t get along well with them, so who knows if he’ll make a big move today?"
"..."
A myriad of opinions arose.
In the crowd, Xiang Tian’s face didn’t look good, he glanced at Huo Yuan sitting nearby, clenched his fists, and walked towards Huo Yuan.
However, before he got close, Xuan Yu appeared beside him, blocking his path.
"What are you doing?"
Xuan Yu frowned at him.
Xiang Tian clenched his fists and spoke every word with edge, "I’m planning to teach this idiot a lesson!"
