Jun Xuehan and Li Shang walked straight to the front of the hall as if it were an empty place, where an elderly man with white hair was standing.
"Dragon Duke Meng Shu, it's been a long time. When we met last time, I said that we would meet again eventually." Jun Xuehan stopped and looked quietly at Meng Shu in front of her.
"Hehe, when we last met, you were still an unknown young man. In just eight years, you have become the sect leader of the Upper Three Sects, and your reputation as a genius is known throughout the continent. It's really unexpected." Meng Shu looked at Jun Xuehan in front of him and couldn't help but smile, but the smile seemed a little bitter and his eyes were full of solemnity.
Back in Suotuo City, he had saved Tang San to do Tang Hao a favor, thus offending Jun Xuehan. Now that Jun Xuehan had arrived, it was definitely because of that incident.
"Is it unexpected? Perhaps. I myself never imagined that the power I built would become one of the Upper Three Sects." Jun Xuehan smiled indifferently, walked straight past Meng Shu, and sat down in the main seat of the hall.
The disciples of the family were about to reprimand him when Meng Shu stopped them. The Wind Snow Pavilion was now a powerful force that their family could not afford to offend. Moreover, he had only saved Tang San and had not actually fought with Jun Xuehan. Otherwise, Jun Xuehan would not have come with only a young girl.
"Meng Shu, would you like to consider joining our Wind Snow Pavilion? I've come here to invite you to join us." Jun Xuehan put her legs up on the chair in front of her, her voice full of indifference.
After all, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Dragon Duke and Snake Po is comparable to that of Titled Douluo. With their addition, the strength of the Wind Snow Pavilion will be even greater.
"Join the Wind Snow Pavilion?" Meng Shu frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and did not give an answer for the time being.
"Yes, join our Wind Snow Pavilion, and I'll pretend what happened back then never happened. Besides, with your strength, you'll be able to rise to a high position in our Wind Snow Pavilion." Jun Xuehan nodded slightly and said slowly.
Li Shang stood quietly behind Jun Xuehan, looking around, showing no intention of speaking.
"Pavilion Master Jun, although our family is not as powerful as your Wind Snow Pavilion, we do not wish to become a vassal of other forces. Joining the Wind Snow Pavilion is out of the question. However, if there is anything Pavilion Master Jun can do to help you, please feel free to ask, and we will certainly not refuse." Meng Shu considered for a moment, then declined Jun Xuehan's invitation, but did not completely block her path.
Although the Wind Snow Pavilion is a powerful force, it has also made many enemies. Back then, Tang San also established the Tang Sect, and behind the Tang Sect was the once Number One Sect Under Heaven: the Clear Sky Sect.
The Wind Snow Pavilion and the Clear Sky Sect are not to be trifled with right now, and judging from the situation back then, Jun Xuehan and Tang San are locked in a life-or-death struggle. Therefore, the two major forces are bound to have a battle of life and death.
The situation is unclear now, and he doesn't want to take sides rashly. After all, if he makes the wrong choice, it will be too late to regret it later.
"Oh, have the Tang Sect and Clear Sky Sect also contacted your family?" Jun Xuehan smiled indifferently and asked casually.
"To be honest, they did approach this old man, but I, like many others, did not agree." Meng Shu nodded slightly, showing no intention of hiding anything.
"Oh, in that case, I won't stay here any longer. I hope you'll take care of yourself, Meng Shu." Jun Xuehan looked at Meng Shu, slowly stood up, and walked out of the hall.
"I'll see Pavilion Master Jun!" Meng Shu nodded calmly and followed him directly.
Only after sending Jun Xuehan out of the family did Meng Shu quietly watch Jun Xuehan's departing figure, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"Old man, we just rejected the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect a few days ago, and now we've rejected the Wind Snow Pavilion. But I have to say, the attitude of the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect is much better than that of the Wind Snow Pavilion." An old woman with white hair walked out of the family and stood beside Meng Shu.
"Well, in terms of attitude alone, Wind Snow Pavilion is indeed inferior to the Tang Sect and Clear Sky Sect. But we do not accept any of their invitations." Meng Shu smiled, turned around, and walked straight towards the family.
On the streets of Suotuo City, Li Shang looked at Jun Xuehan ahead and asked with great curiosity, "Sect Master, are we just leaving like this?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan glanced at Li Shang of the corner of her eye and said, "Otherwise what? Our Wind Snow Pavilion doesn't really need him, so he's neither indispensable nor irrelevant."
"If they disagree, they should leave. Are you suggesting we kill them?"
Li Shang blinked a few times and said, "Sect Master, then haven't we come all this way for nothing?"
Jun Xuehan held up a finger and shook it, saying, "Coming here was just a side trip; our main purpose is not here."
Jun Xuehan smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation, and walked straight ahead.
"Not here? Then where is it?" Li Shang's eyes blinked a few times, full of curiosity, but she didn't ask any questions. Instead, she quietly followed behind Jun Xuehan.
Three days later, in Heaven Dou City.
On the bustling streets, a large number of Soul Master appeared out of nowhere. They were hidden in the crowd, seemingly wandering aimlessly in Heaven Dou City.
However, they all moved silently toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, lingering in the area surrounding the palace or disappearing altogether.
Tang Sect, in the main hall.
Tang San sat in the main seat, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the message coming from below.
"There are many more innocent Soul Master in Heaven Dou City. Are these Soul Masters from the Wind Snow Pavilion?" Tang San asked calmly.
"Third Brother, we don't know about that, but from our observation, there have indeed been many more Soul Master in Heaven Dou City for no apparent reason," Ma Hongjun said softly from his seat below.
"The Wind Snow Pavilion has been silent for a long time. The appearance of so many Soul Master this time must be related to the Wind and Wind Snow Pavilion. However, we don't need to pay attention to it for now. We'll deal with whatever comes our way." Tang San thought for a moment and didn't care much.
After all, now that the Clear Sky Sect has re-emerged, the Tang Sect is not afraid of the Wind Snow Pavilion. If a real fight breaks out, the Clear Sky Sect, in alliance with the Haotian Tang Sect, would have a greater chance of winning.
Moreover, he has a powerful backer, Sea God far surpassing the continent, so he's not afraid of Jun Xuehan now. Although he might not be able to beat her for now, things might change in the future.
