The Reason Behind It! Lin Shu Descends Upon the Juntian Sect!

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Reason Behind It! Lin Shu Descends Upon the Juntian Sect!

"Seek refuge with the Heavenly Pavilion?"

Lin Shu somewhat understood what was going on.

For instance, this old man from the Juntian Sect had wanted to leave the moment he saw him. He had likely known that Lin Shu was now the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pavilion and realized that nothing could be done.

But Lin Shu did not understand.

There were so many factions on the continent. Even if the Juntian Sect feared that he would retaliate after learning he had destroyed Langya Hall, there was no reason for them to seek refuge with the Heavenly Pavilion.

There were so many factions across the continent. Lin Shu would not have found it strange if they had sought protection from any of them—except the Heavenly Pavilion.

Lin Shu asked directly,

"Tell me. What is your purpose in seeking refuge with the Heavenly Pavilion?"

"Of course, you may choose to lie and make up some excuse on the spot. As for whether you can bear the consequences, that will depend on the methods of the Super Douluo beside me!"

Hearing Lin Shu's words, the Third Elder of the Juntian Sect hastily said,

"I'll speak. There are many top factions on the continent, but very few that could destroy Langya Hall so cleanly and decisively!"

"Even if there are such factions, they are outside Qingzhou, far beyond Qingzhou. Even if those top factions wished to protect the Juntian Sect, they would be too far away to help. Unless the Juntian Sect relocated, but we have been rooted in Qingzhou for so many years. How could we leave?"

"Therefore, we could only choose a faction capable of protecting the Juntian Sect within Qingzhou!"

"There were only two options. The first target we considered was the Empire, and the Empire was also the first we approached. But we do not understand why the Empire refused. Why did the Imperial Eldest Princess specifically give instructions? It was as though she had long known we would choose to seek refuge with the Empire. The Eldest Princess specifically ordered that the Juntian Sect's submission not be accepted. It truly makes no sense!"

"Since the Empire would not accept our submission, only the Heavenly Pavilion remained. Since the Heavenly Pavilion could accept the submission of a faction as weak as the Langya Auction House, it should also accept the Juntian Sect's submission!"

"Then, once the Juntian Sect also submits to the Heavenly Pavilion, even if the Langya Auction House wishes to take revenge, it cannot borrow the Heavenly Pavilion's power."

After hearing everything, Lin Shu finally understood the whole situation completely.

So, in the end... the Juntian Sect neither wished to be destroyed nor wanted to abandon the foundation it had painstakingly built over so many years.

Thus, they had only two choices.

As for the first choice, Lin Shu roughly understood why it had failed.

Su Qian had clearly contacted the Empire in advance.

Su Qian was now the Chief Auctioneer of the Langya Auction House, and she also knew that the Juntian Sect had joined forces with Langya Hall to kill Lin Shu's father.

Lin Shu would sooner or later take revenge and destroy the Juntian Sect, leaving it with the same fate as Langya Hall.

She must have guessed that the Juntian Sect would seek protection, so she made arrangements in advance.

After all, accepting the Juntian Sect's submission meant protecting the Juntian Sect. Once one chose to protect the Juntian Sect, one would inevitably become Lin Shu's enemy.

Given the experts gathered around Lin Shu, becoming his enemy was clearly unwise.

Naturally, this elder of the Juntian Sect could never have imagined that Su Qian would serve as the Chief Auctioneer of the Langya Auction House.

Su Qian had only hosted one auction at the Langya Auction House, and it had been in a remote corner of the Eastern Martial Region. They had not attended that auction, so they naturally knew nothing about it.

In the end, with no other choice, they could only choose to seek refuge with the Heavenly Pavilion.

By then, they would all be under the Heavenly Pavilion. Surely the Heavenly Pavilion would not help one subordinate faction attack another, would it?

It had to be said, they had calculated well.

But no matter how thoroughly they calculated, they never expected that the Langya Auction House had not submitted to the Heavenly Pavilion.

The Heavenly Pavilion had been personally established by him, the Guild Master of the Langya Auction House.

Now that they had come to seek refuge with him, it could only be said... they were wolves walking into a tiger's den, coming here to die!

Originally, Lin Shu had planned to deal with the Juntian Sect after this auction ended.

But since they had delivered themselves to his door, how could Lin Shu refuse such an opportunity?

Thinking this, Lin Shu spoke directly,

"Yu Lian, gather the experts in your company. In one hour, we depart for the Juntian Sect!"

"No need to wait for the auction to end. We'll deal with the Juntian Sect first!"

As the commander of the three-hundred-man Titled Douluo Guard Company, Yu Lian immediately bowed in acknowledgment upon hearing Lin Shu's order. He then went to gather the Titled Douluo who had already been summoned.

"Yes, Pavilion Master!"

After issuing the order, Lin Shu turned his gaze toward this elder of the Juntian Sect.

"You did well. Since your attitude was not bad, you did not stubbornly resist, and you did not lie, I will grant you a swift death!"

Had he rambled or tried to deceive him, Lin Shu might have had his subordinates torture him properly. Since he had been so obedient, Lin Shu would simply send him on his way.

Of course, letting him go was impossible.

Lin Shu looked at Huo Qingwu. She understood his meaning and immediately killed the Third Elder of the Juntian Sect and the two Titled Douluo he had brought with him.

As the Third Elder of the Juntian Sect faced death, a trace of relief seemed to flash through his eyes.

Clearly, now that he knew Lin Shu's identity, he knew the Juntian Sect had only one possible ending: destruction.

He was merely taking one step ahead of them.

Not long after.

Yu Lian returned. He had gathered all one hundred Titled Douluo who had already been summoned.

Seeing that they had assembled, Lin Shu did not hesitate. He had Lin Ye take out the Sky-Guarding Shuttle, then called Su Qian over and had him lead the way to the Juntian Sect.

"Set out!"

After the group boarded the Sky-Guarding Shuttle, it rose directly into the air. With Lin Ye piloting it, they headed toward the Juntian Sect.

The Juntian Sect was located in Skyhammer City, Haotian Commandery, Qingzhou.

Among Qingzhou's seven commanderies, one commandery lay between Haotian Commandery and Langya Prefecture, so the distance was considerable—more than five thousand li.

However, five thousand li was not far for the Sky-Guarding Shuttle. It could arrive in roughly one hour.

The Sky-Guarding Shuttle flew high above the clouds. No one on the ground noticed that deep in the skies above them, a terrifying force was racing toward the Juntian Sect, one of Qingzhou's top factions.

Although many experts had gathered in Qingzhou due to the Divine Hall, they were all searching in sparsely populated areas. Even Titled Douluo capable of flying high in the sky would not linger there.

No one noticed the Sky-Guarding Shuttle along the way.

One hour later, the Sky-Guarding Shuttle finally arrived at Skyhammer City in Haotian Commandery, Qingzhou.

After arriving in Skyhammer City, Lin Ye piloted the Sky-Guarding Shuttle down toward the location of the Juntian Sect's mountain gate.

The Sky-Guarding Shuttle descended directly above the Juntian Sect, naturally drawing the attention of the entire sect at once.

In an instant.

The sect master and numerous elders of the Juntian Sect swiftly flashed out from the various halls of the Juntian Sect, rising into the air until they were level with the Sky-Guarding Shuttle.

"This is Juntian Sect territory. No one may trespass. Whoever has come, immediately put away your Flying Soul Tool, or the Juntian Sect will regard this as a provocation!"

Of course.

It was currently a special time, with all kinds of factions gathering in Qingzhou, which was why they spoke this way.

Under normal circumstances, they would have attacked immediately.

Yet no one answered them. The Sky-Guarding Shuttle remained suspended in the air.

Only one voice rang out,

"By this Pavilion Master's order, leave no one from the Juntian Sect alive!"
