The Wretched Heaven Demon Phoenixes
"Your Excellency, the Vice Pavilion Master is waiting in the main hall. Elder Wang will lead you all in!" In less than a quarter of an hour, the Langya Pavilion disciple who had gone in to report returned, bowing and saying. Following him was an Elder of the Langya Pavilion.
"What? Your Deputy Pavilion Master didn't even come out to greet this Elder in person?" Huang Yue exclaimed loudly, as if he had been greatly insulted. "How dare a mere traitor of my clan and a descendant of Human Race dare to be so disrespectful to my clan? Does he really think he's all grown up now?"
"Elder, watch your words!" The middle-aged Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan behind Huang Yue hurriedly said, his heart pounding with cold sweat. Why on earth did the clan leader send out such a brainless idiot? Did he really think this was the clan's territory?!
With a mere Half-Saint cultivation level, how dare he cause trouble in front of the Langya Pavilion, a Saint Realm sect, and even insult the wife of Dou Sheng powerhouse? Doesn't he have a death wish?
Even though others are wary of the power of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and may not dare to actually kill the beast, this mission is likely to fail!
Then, the middle-aged man glanced in the direction of the Langya Pavilion and was suddenly startled. He saw that the Elder of the Langya Pavilion opposite him had a murderous look in his eyes and a token had appeared in his hand without him noticing.
"Since you old codger don't want to live, then this Elder will send you to experience the wonders of the Road to the Yellow Springs," the Langya Pavilion Elder said indifferently.
"Hmph, this Elder wants to see what's so special about a sect led by such a remnant." Elder Huang Yue was unusually stubborn at this moment, still refusing to give up.
It's over!
"Elder, please wait a moment..." In his haste, the middle-aged man stepped past Huang Yue and strode forward, but it was too late...
Elder Wang then channeled a burst of Dou Qi into the token in his hand, causing the originally unremarkable black token to emit a faint icy blue light.
Then, the sky above Langya Pavilion shifted dramatically, dark clouds gathered, and flashes of Thunderstorm occasionally streaked across the sky. Finally... a protective barrier descended directly upon the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
"Hmph, such a trivial trick, yet you dare to play tricks on me." Elder Huang Yue said disdainfully, sensing the weak energy within the light barrier.
Then he bent his hand into a claw, and a giant energy hand reached out to grab the light shield above. However, Elder Huang Yue's action only drew sneers from the Langya Pavilion people.
This old man is indeed a brainless idiot. A mere Half-Saint, he actually dared to attack the Grand Array formation of the Langya Pavilion.
As expected, to Huang Yue's utter astonishment, the massive hand was instantly swallowed up the moment it touched the light barrier, without even a ripple.
"Only those of you who managed to come out alive are qualified to speak with our Vice Pavilion Master." Elder Wang said coldly, amidst the terrified gazes of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
The Vice Pavilion Master was right; Elder Huang Yue had no intention of having a proper talk with the Langya Pavilion.
Since that's the case, they don't need to be polite; they'll just teach them a lesson first. It's just unknown how many of those people will survive.
Elder Wang overlooked the possibility that the opponent might break through the Grand Array. Did they really think their Langya Pavilion's Grand Array was some inferior product?
This was personally arranged by the former Pavilion Master. Dealing with a Half-Saint and four Dou Zun would be a piece of cake.
Elder Wang simply sat down on the ground, waiting for the arrival of these "distinguished guests".
An hour later, the Grand Array was dismantled, revealing several disheveled figures. Everyone had lost their original radiance; some were charred black, while others were covered in frost and stiff.
Huang Yue Elder in the worst condition. His clothes were tattered, and he would cough from time to time, with black smoke coming out of his mouth. He was weak and listless, a far cry from his arrogant appearance when he first appeared. He was clearly being targeted.
"Yo ho, you all survived. Looks like you guys are pretty strong!" At this moment, Elder Wang's somewhat mocking voice came from the side. The members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan looked over with lingering fear.
"Elder, we have no ill intentions in coming here. We hope Langya Pavilion will understand!" Just as Elder Huang Yue was about to say something, the middle-aged man spoke up instantly.
He finally understood: this was Langya Pavilion's way of intimidating them! They probably didn't intend to kill them. Otherwise, with just a few of them... none of them would have escaped!
Recalling the suffering they endured after being trapped in that place, the power of Lightning and storms was so great that even he, as Magical Beast, was still trembling.
Therefore, the middle-aged man dared not let Huang Yue's foul mouth continue. He was genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to leave the Langya Pavilion alive!
That's not right either...
It seems he hasn't even entered the gates of the Langya Pavilion yet.
Elder Huang Yue, seemingly having learned his lesson from this show of force, refrained from uttering a word that might offend anyone. He remained silent on the sidelines.
"Have you thought it through, Elder Huang Yue?" Elder Wang didn't reply, but turned to look at the arrogant Huang Yue.
"You..." Huang Yue was furious. How could he not know that this Elder Wang was deliberately humiliating him? But the situation was beyond his control, and he had to stand up straight when he was being beaten.
Finally, amidst the fearful gazes of his fellow clansmen, he could only say, "This Elder has come on behalf of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to cooperate with the Langya Pavilion, and naturally, I have come with goodwill."
Although he didn't nod in apology, it was still commendable. Compared to his previous constant use of the term "remnant," this was undoubtedly a much more polite gesture.
All I can say is that Elder Huang Yue hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society before!
"Alright, please come in, everyone." Elder Wang smiled and led the way for them.
Finally, Huang Yue and the others met their mission target, Yi Huang, in the Langya Pavilion Main Hall.
At this moment, Yi Huang was looking at the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan with a smile. Clearly, she knew about the latter's punishment and was quite pleased.
"I am Huang Yue, the Supreme Elder the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and I greet Deputy Pavilion Master Yi Huang." Huang Yue had now returned to normal.
Despite the other party's unfriendly attitude, Yi Huang didn't care. The two were inherently irreconcilable enemies, and it would be suspicious if he were actually smiling.
"I wonder what brings Elder Huang Yue here?" Yi Huang asked with a forced smile.
"Elder 've come here today to discuss cooperation between our two families," Huang Yue said, looking dejected. He had initially been strongly opposed to this so-called cooperation; Yi Huang's affair had caused quite a stir in Central Plains. Now that they were taking the initiative, weren't they at a disadvantage?
However, since the Clan Leader had spoken personally, he couldn't argue with him.
"Cooperation? How do we cooperate?" Yi Huang asked with a serious expression.
Although Langya Pavilion and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan have a very bad relationship, it's mostly due to her personal grudges with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Langya Pavilion itself has no direct conflict of interest with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
Over the years, she has come to terms with those things. Although the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan has a deep-seated hatred for her, she, Xiao Han, and Ye Jianxin also caused them a lot of trouble back then.
She had personally dealt with the culprit from that time, so things were basically even. If the other party was truly sincere, then setting aside these issues and cooperating properly wouldn't be a bad idea.
