Just as the three were talking, Zhu Zhuqing and the others walked in from the Pope's Palace and bowed directly to Jun Xuehan and the others.
"You're back. How did things go with the Star Luo Empire?" Jun Xuehan waved slightly, looking at Zhu Zhuqing in front of her, and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately replied, "Sect Master, the White Tiger Sect and Fire Leopard Sect in the Star Luo Empire are already secretly trying to get closer to us, but the Wind Sword Sect has no intention of getting closer to us at all. On the contrary, they are very hostile towards us."
"As for other matters, we are progressing very smoothly without any problems."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, looked at Jun Xuehan beside her, and asked softly, "Xuehan, it seems that our Wind Snow Pavilion has no enmity with the Wind Sword Sect, so why would the Wind Sword Sect be so hostile towards us?"
Qian Renxue's voice was filled with confusion. People from the Wind Sword Sect rarely left the sect, and the Spirit Hall had never been enemies with the Wind Sword Sect. She couldn't understand why the Wind Sword Sect would be hostile towards them.
"I've hardly ever been to the Star Luo Empire. The main area of activity for the Wind Snow Pavilion was the former Heaven Dou Empire. How could we possibly have a grudge against the Wind Sword Sect?" Jun Xuehan shook his head slightly, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Tell me about the specifics of the Wind Sword Sect. The Wind Sword Sect wouldn't have become hostile towards us for no reason."
Zhu Zhuqing stood there for a moment and then said, "Sect Master, at first our Wind Snow Main Pavilion and the Wind Sword Sect were able to coexist peacefully. But not long after the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed, the Wind Sword Sect showed obvious hostility towards our Wind Snow Main Pavilion. As for the reason, we don't know."
Zhu Zhuqing recounted the events carefully, then stood quietly below.
"The reason for the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect should lie here," Jun Xuehan muttered to herself, her finger lightly tapping the chessboard in front of her as she pondered.
"Before the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, it supported the Star Luo Empire. The Clear Sky Sect Wind Sword Sect have many connections. Twenty years ago, the sect leader of the Wind Sword Sect, Feng Bailong, was a famous figure. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly retired and has been living a secluded life in the Wind Sword Sect ever since." Qian Daoliu picked up the teacup in front of him and spoke softly.
"Feng Bailong? I've never really heard of that name before." Jun Xuehan thought for a moment and realized that he was still quite unfamiliar with the name.
But suddenly Jun Xuehan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked at Qian Renxue and said, "Xue'er, when we attacked Clear Sky Sect, did we leave any of the people from the Moonlight Pavilion behind?"
Qian Renxue shook her head slightly and said, "At that time, everyone was attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect. Who would care about the Moonlight Pavilion, which only teaches etiquette to nobles? However, it seems that Moonlight Pavilion closed its doors after that night."
Jun Xuehan smiled and said, "The reason has been found. Grandpa just said that the Wind Sword Sect and the Clear Sky Sect have many connections, and Tang Yuehua in the Moonlight Pavilion is a member of the Clear Sky Sect. However, Tang Yuehua is someone who cannot become Soul Master, and she may be in the Wind Sword Sect right now."
Jun Xuehan shrugged indifferently, his eyes showing no concern whatsoever. If it were someone else who ran away, he might have cared a little, but Tang Yuehua, he truly didn't care.
Because Tang Yuehua was just an ordinary person, no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through and become a Soul Master.
"What's the point of saying all this now? What kind of strength does Feng Bailong of the Wind Sword Sect have?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Twenty years ago, Feng Bailong seemed to have the strength of Soul Douluo. I don't know about now, but he can't possibly stay where he is," Qian Daoliu said softly, his voice full of casualness.
In his eyes, there was basically no difference between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo; the only difference was that they had to exchange a few more moves.
"Feng Bailong was Soul Douluo twenty years ago, so now he is very likely Titled Douluo, or close to Titled Douluo." Jun Xuehan nodded slightly, not paying too much attention.
"Sect Master, the Speed Clan is willing to join our Wind Snow Pavilion, but on one condition: that we provide them with Soul Tool. I have discussed with the Speed Clan Defense Clan that we will give half of the Soul Tool distributed between our two clans to the Speed Clan."
Yang Wudi looked at Jun Xuehan and spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan glanced at the Speed Clan, nodded slightly, and readily agreed.
"Since your two clans have made their decision, I have no objection. Let's leave it at that: the Speed Clan will join the Wind Snow Pavilion. If there's nothing else, go back and rest. It's getting late." Jun Xuehan looked at them and said softly.
"There's another matter. Our Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, and Speed Clan are planning to merge together to participate in tomorrow's selection for the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects. Please grant us a spot, Pavilion Master," Niu Gao said with a smile.
"Hmm, it's nothing. You two go back and prepare. I'll take care of the spots for you." Jun Xuehan agreed casually, then got up and walked towards the back hall with Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue.
After they left, Zhu Zhuqing and the others also headed out of the Pope's Palace.
"Grandpa, this legendary Pavilion Master Jun is so handsome, and he doesn't have that aloof attitude at all," Bai Chenxiang said softly to her grandfather beside her.
"Ahem, I can see it, you don't need to tell me. But Pavilion Master Jun's strength is truly unfathomable, there's not a single fluctuation of Soul Power." Bai He nodded slightly, his hands behind his back.
"Old White Bird, do you really think that the title of the number one person in front of the Pavilion Master is just for show? The Pavilion Master's strength is absolutely second to none. Let's go down and prepare for tomorrow's events now." Yang Wudi smiled and patted Bai He's shoulder.
After leaving the Pope's Palace, the group headed back to the hotel they had come from, intending to get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's election.
As darkness fell, Yue Yi, who had spent the day playing in Spirit City, returned to the Pope's Palace with the escort of the four Titled Douluo.
Yue Yi arrived at the room, she found that Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue were not there. She then headed towards Mochen 'Mochen room, intending to play with him for a while and wait for Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue to return.
