Conflict

"The Four Pavilion Grand Meeting?" Xiao Yan murmured to himself.

Xin Lan, standing to the side, nodded and said, "I've heard of the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting. After all, the Four Pavilions has a very high prestige on the continent, and the Four Pavilions Pavilion Master are all Dou Zun expert, so the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting is considered a major event in the Northern Region of the Central Plains!"

Han Chi nodded and said, "Miss Ye is right. If young friend Xiao Yan is indeed familiar with Venerable Wind of the Starfall Pavilion, then he can go directly to this Four Pavilion Grand Meeting."

"However, the Starfall Pavilion is the most mysterious of the Four Pavilions. The other three pavilions are renowned in the Northern Region of the Central Plains, but the Starfall Pavilion seems to keep a very low profile, with no news of it for many years. And most importantly, the Starfall Pavilion is the only one of the Four Pavilions without Pavilion Master!"

Han Chi's words reminded Xiao Yan of something. It seemed that when he was chatting with Yao Lao back then, Xiao Yan had asked Yao Lao about his identity. At the time, he was still a little distrustful of Yao Lao, who had mentioned that he and an Yao Lao friend had established a fairly good force, but he didn't know if it still existed. At that time, Xiao Yan thought Yao Lao was just bragging and didn't take it seriously.

However, in Xiao Yan's view now, the "good" force that Yao Lao had mentioned back then should be this Starfall Pavilion. But Xiao Yan didn't reveal Yao Lao's identity, instead saying, "In that case, shall we set off now?"

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait a bit. Perhaps Xiao Yu will be able to arrive in a couple of days!"

As they were talking, a guard from the Han Family rushed in from outside. After whispering something in Han Chi's ear, Han Chi's expression changed slightly. "You mean, Hong Li, the head of the Hong Family, has arrived with Hong Lie and Hong Mu?"

Seeing Han Chi's somewhat unpleasant expression, everyone looked at him with some confusion. Han Yue, standing beside him, directly stated, "The number one family in North Sky City is the Hong Family. Although the Han Family and the Hong Family are nominally located in the north and south of North Sky City, overall, the Han Family is still slightly inferior to the Hong Family in terms of strength!"

Han Chi continued, "Actually, Yao Yue and doesn't know that the Hong Family is now involved with the Wind Thunder Pavilion. Hong Chen of the Hong Family is already a disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, so the Hong Family's status in North Sky City has risen accordingly. After all, the Wind Thunder Pavilion has a lot of influence in the Northern Region of the Central Plains!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin scoffed and said, "It's nothing but using someone else's power to show off. If Patriarch Han Chi is willing, I will slaughter every single member of the Hong Family, and North Sky City will naturally belong to your Han Family!" Her words were filled with murderous intent, and in a daze, the ruthless Queen Medusa returned.

Han Chi gave a wry smile upon hearing this and said, "Miss Cai Lin's words do make some sense, but let's forget about going on such a killing spree!"

Having not seen Xiao Yu for days, Cai Lin's heart was growing increasingly agitated. The troubles in North Sky City only fueled her anger. If she were truly provoked, even the Wind Thunder Pavilion's Northern Pavilion wouldn't be able to stop her!

The Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, Fei Tian, was only Eight-Star Dou Zong, while Cai Lin was now Nine-Star Dou Zong powerhouse. If the two sides clashed, Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion would have almost no chance of winning.

After bowing slightly to everyone, Han Chi led his guards outside. Han Lin, Han Yue Han Xue, and others from the Han Family also went outside, while Yun Yun and the others did not follow, since this was a matter between the Han Family and Hong Family.

Yun Yun had just returned to her room with Little Xiao Nian when she heard a knock on the door. Opening it, she saw Cai Lin standing outside. Yun Yun smiled and said, "Cai Lin, what brings you here?"

Cai Lin sat down in the room. Little Xiao Nian called out "Aunt Cai Lin" and then went off to play by herself. Afterwards, Cai Lin looked at Yun Yun and said, "I've been feeling a bit uneasy these past few days. I always feel like there's an invisible force guiding me, as if it wants to take me somewhere!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun frowned and asked, "How could this be?"

"I had some feelings about it a few days ago, but I suppressed them. Now, however, the feeling is getting stronger and stronger," Cai Lin said slowly.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Yun asked, "So, what do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Cai Lin said, "I want to go out and take a look!"

"No way!" To everyone's surprise, Yun Yun refused outright.

Then Yun Yun said, "It's not a question of whether it's possible or not, but we've just arrived in Central Plains and are still unfamiliar with everything. We also haven't heard from Xiao Yu yet. If he comes back and finds out you left alone, he'll definitely be worried!"

When Cai Lin heard Xiao Yu's name, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but she also gave up the idea of going alone to find that clue.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Han Family, Hong Li, along with Hong Lie and Hong Mu, were discussing the ownership of North Sky City with Han Chi of the Han Family. However, what angered Han Chi was that Hong Li's words were full of disdain and arrogance towards the Han Family, and he even suggested that the Han Family give up some of their properties in Nancheng.

"Patriarch Han Family, my son Hong Chen has already successfully entered the inner cabinet of the Wind Thunder Pavilion. Your Han Family shouldn't be so ungrateful!" Hong Li was already annoyed by Han Chi's excuses and wanted to directly threaten the Han Family to give up.

As expected, upon hearing Hong Li's words, Han Chi's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "No matter what, our Han Family will never give up on Nancheng. If the Hong Family continues to pressure us, then don't blame us for going to war with the Han Family Hong Family. Even if our Han Family is no match, I will make sure the Hong Family is crippled!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Li's expression turned cold, but he immediately stood up, gave a cold snort, and left the Han Family with Hong Lie and Hong Mu.

Hong Lie followed behind Hong Li and said, "Han Chi is truly hateful. Why don't we just start a war against the Han Family Han Family? Let's begin with the market. Their chief alchemist is only a fifth-grade cultivator; we'll strike at the Han Family through their pills!"

Hong Li slowly shook his head and said, "No need. Chen'er has already sent me a message saying that he can come back in a few days. This time, an elder from the Wind and Wind Thunder Pavilion will also be coming back. It won't be too late to take action against the Han Family then!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Mu said with a mixture of delight and ruthlessness, "If an elder from the Wind Thunder Pavilion is with us, the Han Family will be in danger!"

"Let's wait another half month!" Hong Li said, then left with Hong Lie and Hong Mu.

After Hong Li left, Han Chi sat in a chair with a worried expression. Han Lin and Han Xue also looked unwell, but Han Xue said, "Father, there's no need to worry so much!"

Han Chi glanced at Han Yue and said, "Yao Yue, don't you know the power of the Wind Thunder Pavilion? If she becomes an inner disciple, it means that Hong Chen still has some influence in the Wind Thunder Pavilion!"

"Of course I know, but has Father forgotten that we have helpers in our family?" Han Yue said, looking at Han Chi.

Han Chi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he asked, "You mean?"
