Three Breaths: Leave or Die!

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. There are two Dou Zun expert from a magical beast family at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Before we could even argue with them, we were chased away. Elder Qi was also injured in their rage and is currently unable to move under the care of some disciples. So, I'm the only one who can greet you."

Elder Hu sighed, but despite his words, his face was filled with resentment. Clearly, he was quite indignant about the domineering behavior of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Mu Qingluan frowned, suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Yuan, and said softly:

"The teacher said that you are in charge of everything on this trip."

Upon hearing Mu Qingluan's words, Elder Hu turned his gaze to Xiao Yuan, respectfully cupped his hands, and said, "This must be the Pavilion Master's personal disciple, Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yuan, right? Hehe, this old man is Hu Fu, greetings to the Young Pavilion Master."

"Hu Fu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, and three words suddenly popped into his mind: "Pyramid".

Smiling and shaking his head, Xiao Yuan said, "There's no need to be so polite. Let's go see Elder Qi first."

"Okay, I'll lead the way."

Elder Hu smiled and nodded, then turned and led the way.

"Senior Brother Xiao Yuan, what should we do about this? Wind and Thunder Pavilion has completely disrespected Starfall Pavilion. If we do nothing, we'll become a laughing stock."

Looking at Elder Hu was leading the way, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but whisper.

"Have you forgotten who Wind and Thunder Pavilion offended that led to its current predicament?"

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly.

The group followed Elder Hu as they traversed the vast mountain range. The mountain range was now filled with a dense crowd of people. The constant noise had turned this once tranquil mountain range into a bustling marketplace, with all sorts of chaotic sounds flooding in.

Among this sea of people, there were quite a few with such powerful auras that even Xiao Yuan had to take a second look. It seems that this Ancient Ruins has truly attracted many real powerhouses.

The group traveled through the mountains for quite some time before finally stopping on a secluded hill. There were about twenty disciples of the Starfall Pavilion guarding the hill, but they looked extremely dejected and angry. Obviously, this was because they had been rudely driven out of their camp by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Elder Hu's return gave everyone a slight boost in spirits, and when they saw Mu Qingluan and her group behind them, their morale finally lifted. Many eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuan, as they had all heard of this renowned Young Pavilion Master.

"Ahem, Young Pavilion Master, I am so sorry that I was unable to greet you properly."

After Xiao Yuan and his group landed, an elderly man in red robes with a somewhat pale face, supported by two Starfall Pavilion Disciples, walked out of the tent, cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yuan, and said respectfully.

"Cough"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Qi couldn't help but cough violently a few times, with traces of blood appearing at the corners of his mouth, clearly indicating that his internal organs had been injured.

"Damn it, those bastards from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion! If the main force of my Starfall Pavilion hadn't come, they wouldn't have had a chance to be so arrogant!"

Seeing Elder Qi's injuries, the anger in the hearts of the Starfall Pavilion Disciples around them rose again.

Xiao Yuan walked slowly to Elder Qi's side, took his arm, examined the latter's injuries briefly, nodded gently, and said, "The injuries are not light. Who did this?"

"Tian Zhen, the former deputy head of the East Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."

Elder Qi sighed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan was taken aback, then chuckled. The deputy head of the East Pavilion? His strength must be at most at the Peak Dou Zong.

Xiao Yuan took out a pill from his Storage Ring and handed it to Elder Qi. He stretched and said, "There are only two Dou Zun at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

"Yes, at least we only saw two of them before."

Elder Qi accepted the pill and nodded.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, and then slowly turned around under everyone's gaze.

"Young Pavilion Master, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing this, Elder Hu was taken aback and quickly said...

"Let's go. Let's cause a ruckus."

The faint voice sent a jolt through the hearts of the Starfall Pavilion Disciples present, causing their blood to boil instantly.

Although the main purpose of this trip was to find the Dou Sheng Remains, Xiao Yuan did not want to cause any trouble unless there were special circumstances. However, since trouble had come knocking, he naturally had to deal with it.

It seems that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has now aligned itself with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, which is why it has become so arrogant again. But unfortunately, they don't know that Xiao Yuan has arrived!

This forced seizure of the campsite that Starfall Pavilion had found beforehand was probably intended to annoy Xiao Yuan, and also to slap Starfall Pavilion in the face.

If Starfall Pavilion chooses not to get involved in this matter, it will surely become a laughing stock. Occasional tolerance is necessary when establishing a sect, but there are some matters of principle that cannot be compromised in the slightest. Otherwise, it will not only severely damage the sect's reputation, but also cause the disciples within the sect to lose faith in the sect.

Now that Yao Lao is the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yuan is both Yao Lao's disciple and the successor of Wind Venerable. Naturally, he is the rightful heir to the title of Young Pavilion Master.

If facing a behemoth like the Soul Hall, which is far more powerful than the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yuan could perhaps tolerate it for a while and then secretly try to stab it in the back.

But the Wind and Thunder Pavilion? It really doesn't have the qualifications to make him back down!

When he first came to Central State, he wrecked most of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, let alone today.

Even the Thunder Venerable is a lackey under his command, so what is the Wind and Thunder Pavilion? Xiao Yuan's actions undoubtedly won the support of all the young disciples of the Starfall Pavilion present. They were not ordinary people to become Starfall Pavilion Disciples, but now they were being humiliated by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Given the hot-blooded nature of the young people, even if they knew they were no match for the other party, they would probably still rush forward to let them know that the Starfall Pavilion had no weaklings.

If it weren't for the two elders' stern reprimands, they would have already attacked the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. They thought they had nowhere to vent their anger, but they didn't expect that this Young Pavilion Master, who was still somewhat unfamiliar to them, would act in such a tough way. In an instant, Xiao Yuan's status in the hearts of these young disciples soared. Sometimes, winning people's hearts is such a simple thing.

The two elders were taken aback by Xiao Yuan's actions. After a moment of hesitation, seeing the flushed faces of the young Starfall Pavilion Disciples around them, the hidden anger in their hearts suddenly surged up. Damn it, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion slapped the Starfall Pavilion in the face in front of so many powerful figures. If they didn't get revenge, they would probably lose all face in the future.

Although they weren't entirely clear about Xiao Yuan's strength, Wind Venerable say that Xiao Yuan had already reached the Dou Zun Realm and was also Eighth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster, so his strength must be considerable. Since the Young Pavilion Master said he was going to cause trouble, he must have the confidence to do so.

"I will obey Young Pavilion Master's orders!"

The two elders solemnly clasped their fists together, then waved their hands and flew out first. A large number of Starfall Pavilion Disciples followed closely behind, their murderous appearance attracting many surprised glances.

Near the center of the Skeleton Mountain Range, there are many towering peaks. Because this area is quite close to the site where the Ancient Ruins were opened, most of these better locations have already been occupied by powerful forces. Lone wolves and strong individuals from smaller factions have to look for other places.

Today, the Skeleton Mountain Range are almost everywhere, filled with people, and the noise, shouting and cursing are endless. Due to the large number of people in ancient times and the lack of supervision, the Skeleton Mountain Range are now in chaos. It is common for friends to call on each other and fight over trivial matters.

Among the peaks near the center, there was one that was now occupied by many people. At the top of that peak, a large flag fluttered in the wind, and the three silver characters "Wind and Thunder Pavilion and Thunder Pavilion) looked particularly imposing from a distance.

At the summit of the mountain, a row of snow-white tents stood, and faint, long auras emanated from within them, clearly belonging to powerful individuals. Judging from this, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion had indeed spared no expense for this Ancient Ruins.

At the center of the many tents stood a particularly grand giant tent. Outside the tent, many powerful members of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion stood vigilantly with cold expressions. Occasionally, laughter and conversation could be heard from inside the tent.

Suddenly, a deep, muffled sound rang out, followed by a figure shooting back from the mountain path with a scream, crashing into more than a dozen tents along the way and causing them to collapse.

"Who dares to cause trouble on the grounds of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion? Are they courting death?!"

This scene instantly caused the expressions of the many Wind and Thunder Pavilion on the mountaintop to change drastically, and they all shouted angrily.

"Arrest him, dead or alive!"

A figure in a silver robe rushed out of the tent and shouted sharply.

Hearing the angry shout, the many experts from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion also roared in unison. Immediately, their figures flashed, creating a series of whooshing sounds as they rushed down the mountain with fierce expressions.

Seeing so many powerful figures from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion making their move, the silver-robed figure slowly stepped forward, his expression slightly grim.

Once he catches the troublemaker, he'll definitely teach him a lesson! Bang bang bang bang!

However, just as Fei Tian took a step, a low thud of flesh colliding suddenly rang out. Immediately, the group of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion experts who had just charged down the mountain like wolves and tigers were sent flying back. Amidst the spray of blood mist, their bodies crackled with lightning, turning them black with electricity. They landed heavily on the mountaintop, their cries of agony echoing continuously.

This scene caused the silver-robed figure to freeze in his tracks. A look of seriousness crept onto his gloomy face. To be able to deal with so many experts from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion at such a speed, it seemed that the newcomer was no pushover.

"May I ask who came to make this move? This is the camp of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion; we hope you will consider the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's influence."

The figure in silver robes fixed his gaze on the mountain path and said in a deep voice.

"This Pavilion is going to attack your Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

Before the silver-robed figure could finish speaking, a laugh slowly drifted down from the foot of the mountain. Soon after, a large group of figures appeared in his field of vision, led by an exceptionally handsome young man in white.

"Who do we have here? It turns out to be the people from the Starfall Pavilion who were just driven away."

The silver-robed figure glanced at Elder Hu and Elder Qi beside him, a mocking smile flashing across his face, and said.

"You!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders' faces instantly turned ashen, their eyes blazing with fury. If they weren't no match for Tian Zhen, the deputy head of the East Pavilion, they probably would have already made their move.

"What? You've gathered some help and are planning to cause trouble?"

Seeing this, Tian Zhen smiled, his mockery intensifying. Although he couldn't discern Xiao Yuan and the others' strength, he didn't consider them Dou Zun expert, since Xiao Yuan and the others were too young.

As for Heavenly Flame Venerable, he now appears no different from an ordinary Dou Zong expert.

This was also what Xiao Yuan instructed. As a backup plan among the group, and the strongest combat force besides Xiao Yuan, it could also be used as a trump card.

"People from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, they still talk so much nonsense!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Yuan unleashed a bolt of Azure Lightning that struck Tian Zhen from head to toe without warning.

Tian Zhen, died.

!!

"Who's in charge of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion now? Get out here."

With the amplification of his Dou Qi, Xiao Yuan's voice almost echoed across the entire mountaintop, and faintly, even the roar of a dragon could be heard, causing Xiong Zhan, who was standing nearby, to widen his eyes in disbelief.

Good heavens! How come Brother Xiao Yuan still has dragon energy on him?! As Xiao Yuan finished speaking, the lifeless corpse in his hand was smashed out, directly smashing one of the tents into an explosion.

"Young man, how dare you!"

The tent exploded, and those inside seemed to be stunned by Xiao Yuan's move. After a moment, they finally came to their senses, and a furious roar filled with killing intent howled across the sky.

The Skeleton Mountain Range is now filled with countless people, and there are figures everywhere. Moreover, when Xiao Yuan and his group arrived with murderous intent, many people knew that a good show was about to begin. Therefore, as soon as the roar sounded, a series of whooshing sounds rang out in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, figures appeared in the sky around the mountain.

These figures glanced at the mountain peak and saw the camp that had been forcibly shattered. A look of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes. The Wind and Thunder Pavilion was a force to be reckoned with in the Central State. Now that it had allied itself with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, it would not have been qualified to occupy a mountain peak as a camp here. They never expected that someone would dare to make such a big show of it. How could they not be surprised and curious?

Xiao Yuan ignored the onlookers who suddenly appeared around him and looked toward the place where the tent had exploded. There, he saw two old men wearing beast-patterned robes and a man wearing a silver lightning-patterned sacrificial robe. The roar earlier was from this man.

"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. If you don't get out of here within three breaths, you'll all die here."

Xiao Yuan raised three fingers and said domineeringly.
