The Crisis of Langtian City

"Pavilion Master!"

"Pavilion Master!"

"..." Everyone looked at the familiar figure before them with surprise and joy, their pent-up frustration vanishing instantly. Now that the Pavilion Master has emerged from seclusion, it's time for those rats to suffer!

Haha~

Yi Huang was also somewhat surprised by Xiao Han's appearance, "You..."

If she remembered correctly, the ten-year period had not yet ended, and this guy's strength should not have recovered yet, right?

However, the vast aura emanating from Xiao Han's body truly demonstrated his power, Yi Huang put aside her doubts.

"You... have you come out of seclusion?" Originally, Yi Huang wanted to ask Xiao Han if he had recovered, but considering that there were other people present, she made a more tactful remark.

"Yes, we came out earlier this time." Xiao Han also understood the implication and responded in a perfectly normal way.

However, the interaction between the two Deputy Pavilion Master was extremely strange to everyone in the hall, but this feeling was quickly replaced by ecstatic joy.

"Now that the Pavilion Master has emerged from seclusion, I want to see if those guys still dare to be so arrogant." The Second Elder, with red hair and red eyebrows, slammed his hand on the table and said excitedly.

"Yes, yes..." This statement received unanimous agreement from many Elders and high-ranking officials.

"Alright, now tell me what happened!" Xiao Han took the lead in the meeting without hesitation and began to understand the whole story.

Yi Huang nodded and recounted everything that had happened in the past year in detail. Xiao Han's expression changed as he listened, and the jade cup in his hand silently vanished into nothingness.

Those rats from the Soul Hall still don't seem to feel any pain, repeatedly causing trouble. That's bad enough, but he didn't expect there to be one eagerly courting death...

"The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!"

Xiao Han calmly muttered a sentence, and many Elder revealed cold smiles. When the Pavilion Master behaves like this, a certain force is about to be in trouble!

"But why didn't you let this thing do it?" Xiao Han quickly recovered, puzzled. He glanced at the silent Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

Hearing Xiao Han's question, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice glanced at him sideways before continuing to drink its tea. It was best not to make a move; it was time for some rest!

Since leaving the sealed Ruins, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice has been living a life of leisure. He spends his days drinking tea, walking his birds, and cultivating his skills—a truly idyllic existence.

"It was just to guard against some troublemakers," Yi Huang said with a smile. "But now that you're back, none of that matters anymore."

Her beautiful face showed a hint of fatigue. Mobilizing the Langya Pavilion's manpower for the battle had taken a lot of her energy. Now that Xiao Han had returned, Yi Huang, who was relaxed, revealed her vulnerable side.

"You rest well, leave everything to me!" Xiao Han squeezed Yi Huang's hand, frowned, and added another reason to his mind for killing the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

"If possible, it would be best to capture him alive." Seeing the murderous intent in Xiao Han's eyes, Yi Huang offered a word of advice.

"Five Dou Sheng, we can make quite a bit of money!" At this moment, the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion was beaming with excitement, somewhat like a cunning little fox.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Seeing Yi Huang's expression, Xiao Han felt much more at ease and readily agreed.

But...

Xiao Han smiled wickedly, turning his gaze to the leisurely Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice. "Thunder Elder, how about a trip to the battlefield?"

Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice paused, her face twitching. She wanted to say "no," but she felt obliged to help him...

"Interested!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice shamelessly lowered his head. Anyway, he had learned a lot of information from Yi Huang. What was there to be afraid of in a bunch of weaklings!

"Then I'll have to trouble Thunder Elder to accompany Pavilion Master!" Xiao Han clapped his hands and stood up.

He casually slashed out a pitch-black crack and went straight into it, with the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice following closely behind...

His figure disappeared under the watchful eyes of the Elder.

In the Southern Region of Central Plains, Langtian City.

Langtian City is located at the border of the Southern Region of Central Plains and the Beast Region. Due to its excellent geographical advantages, many independent cultivators and powerful figures pass through it, and it is exceptionally prosperous, possessing various rare treasures, medicinal herbs and other precious resources.

It has long been the most powerful city controlled by the Langya Pavilion, a top power in Central Plains, besides its main city, Langya City. It provides Langya Pavilion with a lot of resources and has an extremely important position.

In the past, nearly ten Dou Zun Elder were stationed here, enough to suppress all the villains, and the city was extremely peaceful and stable.

However, in the past month, the atmosphere in Langtian City has been quite tense, with few people around. This is because it has become a battlefield between the two Super faction: Langya Pavilion and the Soul Hall, as well as the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Outside the city, there were numerous camps and a powerful aura, clearly belonging to the invaders. Inside the city, shops were closed, and the streets were deserted, with only Langya Pavilion disciples patrolling the streets with serious expressions.

Inside the tallest building in Langtian City, there were two figures with extremely terrifying auras.

"Elder Ye, are you sure your Langya Pavilion is alright?" A white-haired old man with a youthful face asked solemnly. He was none other than Heavenly Sound Old Man, who had come to provide assistance.

The person he was talking to was naturally Ye Jianxin, another Dou Sheng Expert present.

"Cough~" Ye Jianxin coughed weakly, smiled at the other party's worried gaze, and said, "Senior Tianyin, please rest assured, even if the Soul Hall Master and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan personally attack, nothing will happen."

His tone was quite confident, which immediately put the Heavenly Sound Old Man at ease.

However, after a short while, her slightly rosy complexion turned sour again. "I reckon those guys will be coming again in the next few days. Can your body handle it?"

Ye Jianxin's injuries didn't seem serious, but only Heavenly Sound Old Man knew how troublesome they were. As Dou Sheng Expert, he possessed extremely terrifying recovery abilities, and could heal from most injuries quickly.

Ye Jianxin's injuries were somewhat strange; there was a force within him preventing the recovery of his injuries, which even the treatment from Heavenly Sound Old Man could not completely remove.

"I wonder what kind of thing the Soul Hall is using, it's so troublesome," Heavenly Sound Old Man said angrily.

When the five were fighting, the Soul Hall Grand Heavenly Venerate suddenly threw a dart-shaped hidden weapon at Ye Jianxin. Caught off guard, Ye Jianxin was hit and initially thought it was just a minor injury, but later he learned the secret of the hidden weapon.

As a result, a considerable amount remains, and it will need at least another month to recover.

"This time we'll probably have to ask the pavilion for help." Ye Jianxin was also solemn. He hadn't thought of this at first; he had only reported the information to the Langya Pavilion headquarters.

But in the last few days, he discovered the hidden problem: Ye Jianxin wasn't a stubborn kid. If he couldn't handle it on his own, and his family had the resources to spare, he naturally wouldn't stubbornly refuse to speak up.

But...

"It might be a bit late." Ye Jianxin had a bad feeling. Those guys from the Soul Hall wouldn't give him that much time.

As expected...

"Ye Jianxin, Heavenly Sound Old Devil, come out and die!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate's arrogant, hoarse voice rang out outside Langtian City, clearly resounding throughout the entire city.

"Let's go." Ye Jianxin drew his sword and said coldly, "After this, they will be the ones dying!"

"Since that's the case, this old man will stretch his legs a bit more!" Somewhat surprised by Ye Jianxin's composure, Heavenly Sound Old Man glanced at the former and then smiled.

At the same time, he praised it in his heart:

"Langya Pavilion is truly unfathomable!"
