East Foothills Prefecture, Crimson Flame Sect.
Crimson Flame Sect Master Qi Yan was sitting at the head of the hall, holding in his hand an urgent report that had just been sent back.
"I just received an emergency report that Thunderlight Pavilion has been destroyed."
He spoke, his voice as deep as iron, echoing slowly in the hall.
Several First Grade Elders in the hall looked at each other, and they all saw incredible shock in each other's eyes.
Thunderlight Pavilion, together with the Crimson Flame Sect, is one of the six top forces of East Foothills Prefecture.
With Grandmaster Third Level strong Fan Yuan sitting in charge, it has stood East Foothills Prefecture for hundreds of years, with deep and deep roots.
How could such a behemoth be destroyed?
"Is the news true?"
Elder, a man with gray hair and beard, couldn't help but ask.
"The spies saw it with their own eyes."
Qi Yan placed the letter on the table and tapped it lightly with his fingertips.
"Thunderlight Pavilion Mountain Gate is in ruins, and Azure Profound Sect people are taking over Thunderlight Pavilion's various properties."
The palace fell into dead silence.
Qi Yan didn't say anything more, but stood up suddenly.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss with the other four cases before deciding on my attitude towards handling this matter."
A few hours later, five figures were sitting in a Reception Hall deep inside the Iron Sword Sect.
Crimson Flame Sect, the master of the sect, Qi Yan, has a face of Fang Zheng, and between his eyebrows there is a majesty that has been in power for a long time.
Iron Sword Sect The master of the sect, Chu Yuanlang, is thin and dressed in gray robes, with a black sheath long sword hanging from his waist.
The hemp rope wrapped around the hilt of the sword has been polished until it shines, and the whole person is like an unsheathed sword, with a restrained edge.
Sunset Glow Valley Master Liu Wenxin, the only woman among the five.
Wearing a long aqua dress, she has a gentle face, but the occasional flash of light in her phoenix eyes makes people dare not underestimate her.
Flying Cloud Fort The Lord of the Castle Zhao Beiwang has a burly figure, a sturdy back, a strong suit, and his hands are covered with calluses. He is a warrior East Foothills Prefecture famous for his boxing skills.
Golden Saber Manor The owner of the village, Zhong Tieshan, has a short build and a rough face.
He carried a golden Nine-Ring Saber on his back, and the copper ring on the back of the knife made a subtle tinkling sound with his breathing.
The five of them are all leaders of East Foothills Prefecture's top forces, and they are gathered here just to discuss one thing.
"Thunderlight Pavilion was destroyed, and Azure Profound Sect has begun to take over Thunderlight Pavilion's industry."
Qi Yan spoke first.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Chu Yuanlang gently rubbed the hemp rope on the sword hilt with his fingertips and sneered.
"Azure Profound Sect didn't say hello, and then crossed the line to kill Thunderlight Pavilion. It would be too disrespectful to take my East Foothills Prefecture power seriously."
"Thunderlight Pavilion is my East Foothills Prefecture's power. Even if it wants to be destroyed, it should be destroyed by my East Foothills Prefecture's power."
Liu Wenxin said in a gentle but cold voice.
"Azure Profound Sect is the force of Qingyang Prefecture. To destroy Thunderlight Pavilion and take over all Thunderlight Pavilion's properties is to extend its power into East Foothills Prefecture. This is a violation of the rules."
"This is one of them."
Zhao Beiwang's voice was deep, like thunder rolling in his chest.
"Secondly, after the destruction of the Thunderlight Pavilion, the ownership of the property left behind should be discussed and distributed by those of us here. It is not the turn of outsiders like Azure Profound Sect to interfere."
"But Azure Profound Sect's strength..."
Zhong Tieshan hesitated for a moment, and the copper ring on Golden Saber's back made a few crisp jingles as he paused.
"Fan Yuan is an old master. He can't even escape, which shows how terrifying Azure Profound Sect is."
Reception Hall was quiet for a moment.
Qi Yan spoke slowly:
"That's why we need to join forces."
His eyes swept over the faces of the other four people one by one.
"In terms of individual strength, none of the East Foothills Prefecture sects can be the opponent of the Azure Profound Sect, but if our five sects join forces, it will be different."
Chu Yuanlang raised his eyes and became interested. "Five sects join forces?"
Qi Yan said unhurriedly.
"If the five masters of the five sects come out together, they will be five masters, five against two, enough to frighten Azure Profound Sect."
"Even if you don't actually take action, you can just use this to put pressure on the Azure Profound Sect to make concessions on taking over Thunderlight Pavilion's industry."
"What we want is not a war with the Azure Profound Sect, but Azure Profound Sect's recognition that East Foothills Prefecture's forces have the final say on East Foothills Prefecture's affairs."
Qi Yan said in a deep voice.
Reception Hall fell silent again.
After a while, Chu Yuanlang took the lead and said:
"Iron Sword Sect agrees to join forces."
Liu Wenxin nodded slightly:
"Sunset Glow Valley agree."
Zhao Beiwang clenched his fists, and the joints made a crackling sound:
"Flying Cloud Fort agree."
Zhong Tieshan also nodded:
"That being the case, Golden Saber Manor also agrees."
After unifying their opinions, the five people discussed for another half an hour and finalized the specific matters of joining forces one by one.
Preliminary conclusions have been drawn on how to put pressure on the Azure Profound Sect, how to divide the industry left by the Thunderlight Pavilion, and how to respond if Azure Profound Sect insists on refusing to give in.
Finally, Qi Yan stood up and scanned the faces of the four people one by one.
"Without further delay, after everyone returns to the sect, immediately ask the masters of each sect to rush to the Thunderlight Pavilion's mountain gate and join forces to put pressure on the Azure Profound Sect."
The original Thunderlight Pavilion Mountain Gate was in a side hall that was not damaged because it was far away from the core battlefield.
Fang Han's thoughts moved slightly, and the translucent System Panel appeared silently in front of his eyes.
[Host: Fang Han]
[Root Bone Talent Amplification: 512 times (Level Ten Amplification requires 100 million gold)]
[Sword Art Talent Amplification: 512 times (Level Ten Amplification requires 100 million gold)]
[Footwork Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]
[Body Tempering Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]
[Secret Technique Talent Amplification: 256 times (Level Nine Amplification requires 10 million gold)]
[Possessed Wealth:7.2 million gold]
"7.2 million gold is not far away from tens of millions of gold."
Fang Han's eyes stayed on Possessed Wealth for a moment, and then moved away.
After leaving the secret realm, his wealth has grown to 7.2 million gold.
After destroying Thunderlight Pavilion, he had no chance to sneak into the Thunderlight Pavilion's treasure house and loot Thunderlight Pavilion's treasure house.
Therefore, the wealth is still the previous 7.2 million gold.
However, with his current status in the sect, when the spoils are distributed, he will definitely be able to get a sum of money that is enough to significantly increase System Panel's wealth.
He still has this bit of confidence.
"First take the Fan Yuan and Superior Dharma Weapon Long Saber Recharge!"
Thinking of the Superior Dharma Weapon level long knife obtained from Fan Yuan, if you don't need it, you can use Recharge.
Fang Han's eyes subconsciously looked at Storage Ring, and Divine Strength probed towards Storage Ring.
The next moment, an unexpected scene appeared.
Above the unclosed System Panel, a line of text that had never appeared before appeared.
"[Storage Ring (can be Recharge), value: 100 million gold]."
Seeing the words that appeared on System Panel, Fang Han was startled.
System Panel can actually display the item name and value?
When did this change occur?
"Being able to check the value of items... is this the change of System Panel after breaking through to the master level?"
Fang Han sat on the futon, his eyes scanning back and forth over the lines of small gray characters on System Panel, and an uncontrollable wave surged in his heart.
After breaking through to Grandmaster, he focused most of his energy on destroying Thunderlight Pavilion, and did not pay attention to whether System Panel had changed.
At this moment, it was accidentally triggered, and I discovered that System Panel had quietly acquired new functions.
"When I first entered Inner Qi Realm, System Panel also changed. From the original only Recharge gold and silver, to the one capable of Recharge all valuable things."
Fang Han quickly sorted out past experiences in his mind.
"But when Middle Third Grade warriors and Upper Third Grade warriors became Upper Third Grade warriors, System Panel did not change."
"I originally thought that System Panel would never change again, but I didn't expect that after breaking through the Grandmaster, System Panel changed again."
Fang Han couldn't stop being surprised. He took out one thing from Storage Ring to check its value.
"[Superior Saber Dharma Weapon (can be Recharge), value: 800,000 gold]."
"[Mid-Grade Thunderstrike Talisman (can be Recharge), value: 2 million gold]."
"[Mid-Grade Divine Speed Talisman (can be Recharge), value: 1.5 million gold]."
"[Starry Ink Jade (can be Recharge), worth 60 million gold]."
"[Wind Jade (can be Recharge), worth 10 million gold]."
Sure enough, all valuable things can be seen with names and prices.
Among them, the three most expensive ones are undoubtedly Storage Ring, Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure Starry Ink Jade and Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure Wind Jade, especially Storage Ring, which is worth as much as 100 million gold.
It is enough to activate a level 10 increase.
Of course, he won't do this.
Storage Ring is a must-have for home travel and is extremely useful to him. He will not use Storage Ring Recharge unless necessary.
"I wonder if there are any other changes?"
Fang Han retracted his mind and was about to study System Panel again to see if there were any other changes, when suddenly there was a sound of slightly hasty footsteps outside the hall.
After a while, a Sect Master's Hall disciple respectfully reported outside the hall:
"Senior Brother Fang, the sect leader invites you to go to the main hall to discuss matters. He said that we have important matters to discuss."
Fang Han raised his eyebrows slightly, put away System Panel, stood up, straightened his robe, hung Silver-Gray Longsword around his waist, and pushed out the door.
Deep in the Thunderlight Pavilion, there is a hall that was lucky enough to be well-preserved because it was far away from the core area during last night's battle.
Chen Tianyuan was sitting in the main seat, holding a Message Jade Talisman in his hand. At this moment, his elegant face rarely sank, and there was a layer of solemnity between his brows.
Not long after, Fang Han and Gu Changqing stepped into the hall one after another.
Fang Han was dressed in a green robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his steps were steady.
Gu Changqing is still wearing the dark blue robe, hair tied with wooden hairpins, with a pale face and walking with his hands behind his back.
The two sat down in the hall, Chen Tianyuan's face was solemn, and there was a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.
"I just received the news that five sects, Crimson Flame Sect, Iron Sword Sect, Sunset Glow Valley, Flying Cloud Fort, and Golden Saber Manor, took action at the same time. They used various reasons to prevent Azure Profound Sect from taking over the Thunderlight Pavilion industry. They have a tough attitude and are menacing."
According to the communication, the five top forces took action at the same time and used various reasons to prevent Azure Profound Sect from taking over the Thunderlight Pavilion industry.
Some forcibly detain materials stored in the Thunderlight Pavilion's property on the grounds that "Thunderlight Pavilion defaults on our debts".
Some of them prohibit Azure Profound Sect disciples from entering on the grounds that "this property is within our sect's sphere of influence".
What's more, they directly sent people to occupy many properties under the name of the Thunderlight Pavilion, claiming to "keep it for them".
