Chapter 891: Chapter 889: The Fox’s Tail Is Showing
"Brother Wang hasn’t returned yet, and Feng Tianci has been in the back mountain all along. We shouldn’t act rashly."
After pulling Xiang Tian aside, Xuan Yu finally spoke, "I know you have some personal grudges with Huo Yuan, but am I not in the same position? I bet they’ll definitely make a move against the people of Sky Pavilion today. Otherwise, they wouldn’t all be sitting here together."
"But for us, this is a great opportunity. If they’re really planning to act, you can make your move freely. At that time, I definitely won’t stand in your way."
Xiang Tian gritted his teeth, unable to withstand the sight of Huo Yuan’s demeanor even for a moment.
But after hearing Xuan Yu’s words, he turned his face away, prioritizing the bigger picture.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuan and others sitting on the side were chatting and laughing.
Huo Yuan also noticed Xiang Tian’s presence and curled his lips in a disdainful smile before speaking indifferently, "See that? That loser actually wants to make a move against me. If Wang Zhan were here, I could kill him instantly. Since he managed to escape before, today I won’t let him have a place to die. Honestly, that guy just disgusts me..."
Qiu Yinshan also smirked coldly, twisting his neck before saying, "Do you think you’re the only one who can’t stand that bastard? To be honest, I’ve been fed up with him for a long time. Just never had the chance to cross paths with him, but today might just be a good opportunity for us..."
Huo Yuan nodded.
Unexpectedly, the two shared the same target.
Sitting aside, Dong Tianlei lightly coughed twice after hearing their words and commented blandly, "Looks like you’re well-prepared today?"
"Are you planning to use this conference as an opportunity to wage full war against the people of the Sky Pavilion?"
"If that’s the case, I advise you not to act recklessly. After all, Wang Zhan isn’t as simple as you think. I believe he surely has something up his sleeve. If it comes to a fight, you might not benefit much."
After hearing this, their expressions changed as their gaze fell sharply upon Dong Tianlei.
All along, they hadn’t interfered with each other’s affairs.
But everyone knew that the relationships among the three parties weren’t harmonious.
Even though Dong Tianlei was being courted by one side, everyone understood that if a victor emerged between Skyfire Mountain and Profound Ice Pavilion, it would be time to engage with Luoxing Mountain.
So, emotionally and rationally, Dong Tianlei wouldn’t likely stand on their side.
But now he was considering their perspective, which indeed seemed amusing.
Dong Tianlei sneered coldly and replied indifferently, "You better focus on your own matters instead of always pondering others’ affairs. After all, as I understand, hasn’t Luoxing Mountain encountered significant troubles as well?"
The affairs within Luoxing Mountain had already spread.
Wang Zhan, using fierce methods, slaughtered Luoxing Mountain’s elder and then left the mountain, which stiffened their relationship.
But precisely because of this, it gave Huo Yuan and Qiu Yinshan an opportunity to cooperate.
Dong Tianlei slightly frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, it’s simple—stop hoping to sit idly by and reap the benefits. Be careful not to gain nothing in the end."
Seeing their expressions, the corners of Dong Tianlei’s mouth twitched slightly. It was clear they were already allied, perhaps hoping to settle the score with the people of Sky Pavilion today.
This was exactly the scenario Dong Tianlei wanted to see.
The more chaotic this area became, the more it benefited him.
Moreover, he was contemplating whether to renew the cooperation with Wang Zhan.
Minute by minute, time slipped by as more and more people filled the Great Hall.
Even outside, it was packed with people.
Xiang Tian and others had already stepped up to the main spot, yet Wang Zhan’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Xuan Yu stepped forward with a smile, turning back to wave at the crowd before speaking, "First, let me express my sincere gratitude for everyone’s presence here."
"Secondly..."
Before he could continue, Huo Yuan stood up, squeezed through the crowd, glanced at Xuan Yu, and then spoke coldly, "So many people have come to today’s grand event, yet your Wang Zhan is still nowhere to be seen. Is it because he looks down on everyone present here?"
"Or does he have his own plans?"
"Is it to gather us all here and then stand us up?"
At once, everyone started discussing.
Standing aside, Qiu Yinshan also chimed in, "Sky Pavilion truly lives up to being one of the larger Star Domains. Their way of doing things is indeed different, exuding the aura of a great leader, but perhaps it’s because of this that they look down on us, those present?"
"Since that’s the case, why should we stay here any longer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd also began to discuss.
"It’s really infuriating. Who would’ve thought Wang Zhan is still not showing up?"
"I came here to catch a glimpse of Wang Zhan, but I never expected he wouldn’t appear. Perhaps he truly looks down on us?"
"Since that’s the case, why should we stay here and continue wasting time? Everyone might as well leave early."
For a moment, everyone nodded in agreement.
But Huo Yuan just flashed a wicked smile and said again, "Everyone, I have said before, they’ve already grown big, how could they tolerate us?"
"Since they haven’t shown up yet, why waste time here, why don’t we leave now?"
Qiu Yinshan, standing by, immediately chimed in, "I think this suggestion is good!"
For a moment, many people responded the same way.
But Dong Tianlei, standing to the side, remained silent, just watching everyone.
Seeing Huo Yuan and Qiu Yinshan singing in harmony, he could tell these people were not good characters, clearly there to stir trouble.
Xiang Tian, standing among the crowd, also looked increasingly displeased. Clenching his fist, he gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Huo Yuan, I advise you not to cause trouble here!"
"If you dare to speak recklessly, watch out, I will not be polite!"
Ha...
Huo Yuan gradually walked over to Xiang Tian. After glancing at him, he said coldly, "Could it be that I’m wrong? You in the Sky Pavilion bully others with power, so many of us are already here, yet your pavilion master hesitates to show up, is this your respect towards us?"
Qiu Yinshan also walked up to him, like a shadow following him.
However, everyone knew the relationship between the two was not good, there must be some hidden issues here.
"Are you planning to take action?"
Xiang Tian rolled up his sleeves and assumed a fighting stance, clearly ready to engage.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yu and Luo Xue were not willing to be outdone and moved towards Huo Yuan.
There was no need to endure any longer at this point.
After all, anyone could see that the two came prepared, even if this matter could be suppressed today, they would likely continue to cause trouble.
In that case, why continue to waste time?
"I don’t have any intention of causing trouble."
Huo Yuan crossed his arms, glanced at Xiang Tian, then looked at the crowd behind him, provocatively stirring them up again. "Everyone see? Because I hit the nail on the head, they want to engage in a fight, how ridiculous..."
"In such a place, how could everyone possibly stay? I suggest we’d better leave now."
Qiu Yinshan was the first to turn around and say: "Leaving depends on how we go."
"Since they don’t respect us, I will teach them a lesson, what do you think?"
Huo Yuan’s smile turned wicked.
Immediately, Huo Yuan shot towards the sky, brandishing the Fire Deity Axe and swiftly attacked Xiang Tian.
This battle, he had awaited for too long.
Xiang Tian didn’t expect Huo Yuan to make a move directly, jumped up quickly, and engaged with Huo Yuan.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already started fighting.
With a loud boom, Xiang Tian was instantly defeated. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Clearly, there was a chasm-like gap between him and Huo Yuan, crossing it was not so simple.
Dong Tianlei remained seated, clearly in a spectator’s pose.
Meanwhile, Qiu Yinshan smirked, his eyes fixed on Xuan Yu. He clenched his fist and said coldly, "You, a traitor of the Profound Ice Pavilion, today I’m here to eliminate you, a traitor, and not tarnish our pavilion’s reputation!"
With that, an overwhelming aura exploded out.
Those present retreated one after another.
Leaving the main battlefield to a few people.
The officials inside Tian Pavilion all gathered in front of Luo Xue and the others.
Huo Yuan glanced at them, spoke coldly, "As far as I know, you all haven’t been here for long, right?"
"Presumably, you don’t have much attachment to the people inside Tian Pavilion. If so, you’d better obediently follow me, our Skyfire Mountain happens to need a batch of fresh blood, rest assured, I can definitely offer a higher price than Wang Zhan."
Qiu Yinshan echoed, "The same goes for us at Profound Ice Pavilion, we don’t reject anyone, and people in the pavilion respect talent. On top of that, we have a profound pavilion master. If you join us, it could help the pavilion reign over this region once again."
For a moment, no one spoke.
Luo Xue glanced at everyone behind her and said, "Don’t believe their nonsense!"
