Bright Moon Pavilion

Thinking that Qin Anlan would need others' assistance in many matters when he made his move.

After pondering for a moment, Xuanyuan Yue smiled faintly.

"Although you have quite a few people under your command for you to use, they are all experts from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate. There are bound to be some constraints when handling matters."

"How about this? I have a force under my command called Bright Moon Pavilion. I'll hand it over to you in full."

Having said that, Xuanyuan Yue called out into the void.

"Come out."

A vast force surged rapidly within the void.

A woman dressed in red slowly stepped out of the void.

Her features were exquisite, her aura icy, like a snow lotus atop an iceberg.

She gave off the feeling that she could only be admired from afar, never profaned.

Yet the woman's inner strength was extraordinarily profound, seemingly bottomless.

Peak Divine Venerable!

This woman, who appeared so delicate that a gust of wind could topple her, was actually an expert at the Peak Divine Venerable realm.

After appearing, the woman gave Xuanyuan Yue and Qin Anlan a graceful bow.

"Ming Yue pays her respects to Her Highness the Grand Princess and His Highness the Young Lord."

Her voice was crisp, yet it carried a trace of coldness.

She was like a block of ice, carrying three parts chill no matter whom she faced.

A tender smile appeared at the corners of Xuanyuan Yue's lips.

She was exceedingly strict with everyone else and rarely smiled.

Only before Qin Anlan did she reveal the tenderness of a loving mother.

"Ming Yue, from this day forth, the owner of Bright Moon Pavilion will be the Young Lord."

"All matters will be handled by the Young Lord. There is no need to report to me."

"Understood!"

As she spoke, Ming Yue rose and walked before Qin Anlan, then knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Ming Yue pays her respects to Master."

An irrepressible joy also rose within Qin Anlan's heart.

As the Grand Princess of the Heavenly Flame Empire, Xuanyuan Yue controlled many forces.

Among them, the most important was Bright Moon Pavilion.

Bright Moon Pavilion was an immensely powerful intelligence organization.

Under its command were numerous restaurants, brothels, auction houses, and inns, all of which amassed wealth for Bright Moon Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Bright Moon Pavilion's intelligence agents concealed themselves through these businesses.

Bright Moon Pavilion's presence could be found throughout every prefecture of the Tianyuan Empire.

In a fantasy world, strength reigned supreme.

Without powerful force backing them, establishments such as restaurants, inns, and auction houses would sooner or later be swallowed up by others.

Therefore.

Besides being an intelligence organization, Bright Moon Pavilion itself also controlled substantial military force.

The Ming Yue before him was the Pavilion Master of Bright Moon Pavilion.

Taking control of Bright Moon Pavilion would be of immense help to Qin Anlan's many future schemes.

Qin Anlan was Xuanyuan Yue's son, as well as the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

He could also freely mobilize the many forces of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and those under Xuanyuan Yue's command.

Yet while Qin Anlan mobilized these forces, they would also report everything he did to the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and Xuanyuan Yue.

That was tantamount to having a pair of eyes watching Qin Anlan's every move from behind at all times.

Naturally, this was not something Qin Anlan wished to see.

Now, however, things were different.

Bright Moon Pavilion was truly under Qin Anlan's control.

Qin Anlan would no longer need to report his whereabouts to anyone.

His privacy was guaranteed as well.

Overjoyed, Qin Anlan immediately cupped his hands toward Xuanyuan Yue. "Thank you, Mother."

"Why be so polite between mother and son?"

Xuanyuan Yue could not help rolling her eyes at Qin Anlan.

"Not just the forces under my command. Before long, every force in the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate will belong to you alone."

After chatting with Xuanyuan Yue for a few moments, Qin Anlan once again

returned to his own sleeping quarters.

Following Qin Anlan was his newly acquired subordinate, Ming Yue, the Pavilion Master of Bright Moon Pavilion.

He instructed the maid beside him to arrange for Ming Yue to stay in the side hall next door.

Ming Yue possessed both beauty and a fine figure, with skin like congealed cream, so delicate it seemed it would break at the touch. She truly counted as a rare beauty.

Qin Anlan was now her master.

If Qin Anlan wished it, he could have Ming Yue attend him in bed that very night.

Unfortunately.

Qin Anlan was not a lecherous man, nor had he reached the point of being unable to wait.

At least for now, he had no such thoughts.

To Qin Anlan.

Ming Yue was merely one of his subordinates, a powerful expert he could command.

His most pressing task was to first destroy Liu Ruyan and the Liu Family, completing the system mission.

And while he was at it, he would meet Ye Qingyun, that Child of Destiny.

The Child of Destiny, Ye Qingyun, was already the Senior Disciple Brother of Heavenly Firmament Academy. His strength was not weak, and his talent was outstanding.

He was deeply favored by many experts of Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Moreover, powerful fortune protected him, and opportunities came to him without end.

His potential for growth was even more unimaginable.

That was Qin Anlan's greatest trouble.

After dismissing everyone attending him.

Only Qin Anlan remained in the entire hall.

"System." Qin Anlan called out in his heart. "Where is my Novice Gift Pack?"

"Novice Gift Pack prepared. Does the host wish to use it?"

"Use it."

"Ding! Host has obtained a Heaven-tier Defensive Artifact: Purple Luo Heavenly Robe."

"Ding! Host has obtained a top-grade spirit pill: Blood Restoration Pill."

"Ding! Host has obtained Four Beasts' Blessing."

The system notification had barely faded.

Countless rays of light blossomed in the void.

Once all those lights had dispersed.

Before Qin Anlan lay the two treasures: the Purple Luo Heavenly Robe and the Blood Restoration Pill.

The Purple Luo Heavenly Robe was a Heaven-tier defensive artifact. It could normally be worn directly on the body, and it would automatically defend its wearer when attacked.

Artifacts were exceedingly precious existences in this world.

Artifacts were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

Heaven-tier artifacts were already rare treasures.

If one appeared in the outside world, it would surely cause countless cultivators to fight until their heads were bloodied, never resting until death.

Even a force as powerful as the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, with an inheritance spanning hundreds of thousands of years and a profound foundation.

Could only produce a handful of Heaven-tier artifacts.

Not to mention an artifact like the Purple Luo Heavenly Robe.

A Heaven-tier defensive artifact that could be carried on one's person and defend automatically.

Was even rarer and more precious.

It was no exaggeration to say that with the Purple Luo Heavenly Robe, Qin Anlan could already ignore an opponent's attacks when they were at the same realm.

Above artifacts were sacred artifacts.

The might of sacred artifacts could move mountains and fill seas, destroy heaven and earth.

Once used, they could alter the entire landscape of the Northern Underworld Continent.

Across the entire Northern Underworld Continent, sacred artifacts numbered only a few.

Moreover, the vast majority of sacred artifacts had been obtained by the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan.

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate also possessed one sacred artifact, the clan-protecting treasure of the estate.

From this, one could see.

Just how formidable the foundation of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate was.

It was by no means something ordinary forces could rival.

Pills were divided into a total of nine grades.

The Blood Restoration Pill was a Grade Seven Top-tier Healing Pill.

No matter how severe one's injuries were, even if they damaged one's foundation.

After consuming a Blood Restoration Pill, one could recover completely in a short time.

Therefore.

The Blood Restoration Pill was also known as a pill that defied fate and turned the tables in desperate circumstances.

What Qin Anlan cared about most, however, was the ability called Four Beasts' Blessing.

It was a special ability.

Once activated, it would trigger a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

Drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to empower oneself.

The user could raise their cultivation by one minor realm without any obstacles.

Cooldown: one hundred years.

When Qin Anlan saw those words, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

A cooldown of one hundred years.

In other words, Qin Anlan could only use it once every hundred years.

But upon thinking about it, that was only natural.

If he could keep using Four Beasts' Blessing and break through realms whenever he pleased.

Then Qin Anlan would not need to do anything at all. He could simply use Four Beasts' Blessing to cultivate his realm to great perfection and become an invincible existence beneath heaven.
