Langya Hall and Tianding City Change Hands! Heavenly Pavilion Rises!

"There is one more crucial issue."

Su Qian said:

"Right now, all the information came from the Langya Hall Master. Yet even he had no clues whatsoever about that Divine Hall. He merely confirmed its existence for us. In truth, there have long been rumors about it across the continent. By releasing this news now, you are only amplifying those rumors!"

"With nothing but a rumor, how can you ensure that everyone will come?"

Lin Shu smiled faintly.

"A rumor is enough. After all, what you heard before was vague and intangible, nothing more than legend!"

"And it was a legend known only to a small number of people. Once it spreads now, the entire continent will know of it. Its reach will be far greater than before!"

"There are countless people on the continent. Even if it is merely a rumor, as long as it exists, plenty will be willing to come. At worst, they will return empty-handed. If they find nothing, they lose nothing. But if they do find it, they will strike it rich. There will certainly be no shortage of people with such thoughts. Even if only one percent, or one-thousandth, come, it will be enough for every inch of Qingzhou to be searched thoroughly. By then, no matter how perfectly the Divine Hall is hidden, someone will discover it!"

Su Qian said helplessly:

"The Langya Hall Master probably died with his eyes still open. He never expected you to have no interest in the Divine Hall whatsoever, much less spread news of it throughout the continent. His final open scheme before death was so easily broken by you!"

"Otherwise, if you had even the slightest desire to claim it and kept the news hidden, you would inevitably come into conflict with the Divine Hall Guardian Force. Even if you could withstand them, you would likely suffer grievous losses."

"Still, across this continent, you may be the first person who has no interest in the Divine Hall despite possessing such resources and having the strength to contend for it, yet chooses not to."

"If it were me, I would not be able to resist the temptation of becoming a god!"

Lin Shu did not answer. After dealing with the Langya Hall Master and the others, he left the Sky-Guarding Shuttle.

He arrived at Langya Hall's sect grounds.

By then, the remaining disciples of Langya Hall had mostly been dealt with.

Before so many Title Douluo, those disciples naturally had no ability to resist. The disparity between them was simply far too great.

Lin Shu surveyed Langya Hall's sect grounds. As expected of a top-tier force, its territory was extremely vast.

Such an expansive place would be perfect as the future headquarters of the Langya Auction House.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shu said to Lin Ye:

"Uncle Lin Ye, Langya Hall will be our place of residence from now on!"

"You will take down Langya Hall's plaque and change it to Langya Pavilion!"

At that point, Lin Shu suddenly paused.

"Wait. If we change it to Langya Pavilion, people may say we are riding on Langya Hall's coattails. Since we are changing it, we should change it completely!"

"Let us call it Heavenly Pavilion!"

"The Langya Auction House will henceforth be an auction house under Heavenly Pavilion, personally managed by you, Uncle Lin Ye!"

"Send out an announcement. One week from now, the Langya Auction House will hold an auction at the former site of Langya Hall, now Heavenly Pavilion!"

"At that time, we will auction pill formulas for Level 3 and Level 4 Soul Power Pills, as well as all kinds of auction items suitable for Title Douluo, including top-tier soul rings, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and more!"

Lin Ye hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, Young Master!"

"From now on, do not call me Young Master. Call me Pavilion Master. I am the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Pavilion!"

"Yes, Pavilion Master!"

After receiving Lin Shu's orders, Lin Ye immediately went to make preparations.

Lin Shu, meanwhile, continued familiarizing himself with Langya Hall, now Heavenly Pavilion.

Before long, after looking around, Lin Shu designated the main hall of Heavenly Pavilion. It would become the place where he cultivated and lived in the future.

As for the Super Douluo under his command, they would reside in the various side halls surrounding the main hall.

That way, if anyone tried to secretly infiltrate Heavenly Pavilion and approach Lin Shu, they would notice immediately and subdue them.

As for Su Qian, she lived in the outer area.

At present, although she was the Chief Auctioneer of the Langya Auction House, she had yet to enter Lin Shu's core team. Naturally, she could not live too deep within the grounds.

They could consider other arrangements once he fully accepted her.

Su Qian clearly understood that, because of her identity, Lin Shu could not possibly trust her completely. She did not mind.

She had not come here to live in some grand palace. There were simply many treasures here, allowing her to improve her treasure-appraisal skills more effectively.

Once her treasure-appraisal skills reached Level 9, she would eventually return to the Empire to help her elder sister.

What happened to Langya Hall quickly spread throughout Tianding City.

Although the Sky-Guarding Shuttle had remained concealed above the clouds when it entered the city, it naturally had to descend from the sky when it reached Langya Hall's sect grounds.

Once it descended, the people of Tianding City could see it and realize that someone had arrived.

Naturally, curious people went to investigate who had come.

When they secretly approached to gather information and witnessed what was happening in Langya Hall from afar, they were utterly shocked.

Langya Hall had actually been destroyed.

The Langya Hall Master and many elders had been captured alive by a group of mysterious experts, then taken into the Flying Soul Tool hovering in midair.

After that, the Langya Hall Master and the others never appeared again.

Then, a middle-aged man arranged for Langya Hall's plaque to be replaced, renaming it Heavenly Pavilion.

Seeing this, those who had come secretly to investigate naturally understood that Langya Hall had provoked a powerful enemy and been wiped out after the enemy came to its doorstep.

The news naturally spread throughout Tianding City.

At that moment, many experts and forces with more or less some connection to Langya Hall were also dumbfounded.

Langya Hall, a top-tier force, had actually been destroyed so quickly. It was truly unbelievable.

Afterward, they packed up one after another. Without any hesitation, they left Tianding City at once.

What a joke. Langya Hall had been destroyed. If they, the forces that had more or less some dealings with Langya Hall, were not afraid now, then when would they be afraid?

Were they supposed to wait for them to come knocking and wipe out their families one by one?

Or were they considering revenge?

Do not joke around.

They had destroyed Langya Hall so easily. Seeking revenge would be nothing but throwing away their lives.

Besides, they had merely had some dealings with Langya Hall. It was not as if they were friends bound by life and death.

For a time, sixty to seventy percent of the forces in Tianding City fled, and the city nearly became empty.

Naturally, Lin Shu also learned of everything happening in Tianding City.

However, Lin Shu did not care in the slightest.

These forces were not Langya Hall. They had merely had some dealings with it, so there was no need to destroy them.

Now that they feared being implicated and chose to leave, it happened to fulfill Lin Shu's wishes.

In the future, Tianding City could be transformed into a private city belonging exclusively to Heavenly Pavilion.

Rather than driving people out later, having them leave on their own now saved Lin Shu considerable trouble.

Very soon, Lin Shu sent Lin Ye to replace the plaque at Tianding City's gates as well.

From this day onward, Tianding City was renamed Sky City!
