Battle Heaven Pavilion Square!
Today, representatives from almost all the major sects of the Eighth Heaven are present here.
Most notably, all forces under the Fire Clan were present, and all of them were sect leaders from various major sects who personally came to offer their congratulations with their own powerful disciples.
The Fire Clan suffered repeated losses in the clashes between the Eighth Heaven and the Battle Heaven Pavilion. Coupled with their series of despicable acts, this led to their forces losing all loyalty.
When Lin Heng and Ao Zhantian finished their private conversation and flew from the side hall into the square, almost everyone who was sitting in the square, raising their glasses in celebration, stood up immediately.
Lin Heng, at the Primordial Realm, could already be considered an invincible being in the Eighth Heaven.
With the addition of the eight Power of Origin and the terrifying Primordial Spiritual Qi, even at the Yellow Rank of the Primordial Realm, Lin Heng could absolutely sweep through everything.
Upon arriving at the plaza, Lin Heng landed on the high platform.
At this moment, Situ Jiannan walked over with Mei Chu.
Seeing the two walking so close together, Lin Heng smiled slightly.
Good heavens, Situ Jiannan actually won over Mei Chu in such a short time.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"
Situ Jiannan led Mei Chu closer, and the two bowed simultaneously.
But this seemingly ordinary action caused quite a stir among the other sects below.
Who is Mei Chu?
The chieftain of the Fire Ghost Clan, and also a member of a force under the Fire Clan.
Now, he's bowing respectfully to Lin Heng and addressing him as "Pavilion Master," which seems rather odd.
If Mei Chu addresses Lin Heng as Pavilion Master, that's perfectly fine.
The fact that one can address someone directly as "Lord Pavilion Master" is a title reserved for direct subordinates, which is quite thought-provoking.
"Um!"
Lin Heng smiled and nodded in response, Situ Jiannan then turned around with Mei Chu.
At this moment, Mei Chu stepped forward and, under everyone's watchful eyes, announced in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, today I have an important announcement to make."
Mei Chu paused deliberately halfway through her sentence.
Although everyone knew what Mei Chu was about to say, they still couldn't help but hold their breath.
"From this day forward, my Fire Ghost Clan will sever ties with the Fire Clan and submit to the Battle Heaven Pavilion."
"From this day forward, my Fire Ghost Clan Wushuang partners. Please respect yourselves."
Although these words did not cause a public uproar, they had a significant impact on the minds of the various sects present.
The Fire Ghost Clan openly broke away from the Fire Clan and joined the Battle Heaven Pavilion, which implicitly represented the complete antagonism between the Fire Clan and the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
The only regrettable thing is that Lin Heng had just tricked the Fire Clan, making the other seven royal families think that the Fire Clan and the Battle Heaven Pavilion had a secret.
Now that the Fire Ghost Clan has pledged allegiance, this rumor has naturally been debunked.
But compared to a petty scheme, the benefits brought by the Fire Ghost Clan's open surrender were naturally far more profound.
"Pavilion Master Lin Heng, my Nether Flame Clan also wishes to join the Battle Heaven Pavilion. Is that possible?"
The patriarch of the Nether Flame Tribe respectfully nodded and asked.
As expected, many people within the Eighth Heaven Fire Clan's forces had already lost all hope in the Fire Clan.
Before, no one took the lead, and they were still hesitant.
But now that Mei Chu has taken the lead in surrendering, she has set an example for them, and naturally, those sects that were originally eager to join the cause are starting to lose their composure.
" Nether Flame Tribe, I, Lin Heng, possess the Power of Origin. What the Fire Clan can offer you, I, Lin Heng, can also offer. Since you are willing to join my Battle Heaven Pavilion, we will be family from now on."
Lin Heng's words were not only for Mingyan's ears, but also for the other sects.
Lin Heng, who possesses the Power of Origin, can naturally accommodate all sects. As long as they come with sincerity, I, Lin Heng, will accept them all.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"
As soon as Lin Heng agreed, the entire Nether Flame Clan bowed to Lin Heng in respect.
With a good start, other sects with similar intentions naturally began to take action one after another.
In an instant, more than ten sects simultaneously declared their allegiance to Lin Heng.
But the Fire Clan has existed in the Nine Heavens for so many years, so naturally there are some who are absolutely loyal to them.
"You think you can betray the Fire Clan just because of the mere Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
"Besides, everyone knows what kind of person Mei Chu is. The Fire Ghost Clan is nothing but a den of iniquity. Lin Heng wants a sect like that? I don't think Battle Heaven Pavilion is any better."
A man with horns on his head and his entire body was crimson, stood up and said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Mei Chu and the other members of the Fire Ghost Clan present naturally looked rather displeased.
Now that she has joined the Battle Heaven Pavilion, Mei Chu did not react immediately, but waited for Lin Heng to handle the situation.
Situ Jiannan then approached Lin Heng and whispered, "Master, this is Banbo'er, the patriarch of the Fire Longhorn Beetle Clan under the Fire Clan. Although the Fire Longhorn Beetle Clan is not very strong, it has been able to build its power in the Eighth Heaven entirely thanks to the Fire Clan's support, so they are exceptionally loyal to the Fire Clan."
Lin Heng nodded slightly, but this time, he did not take action himself.
"Just some small fry, Jiannan, you know what to do with him."
Lin Heng looked at Situ Jiannan and gave him a knowing look.
Firstly, the opponent was only at the Nine-Turn Samsara Realm, and it would be too humiliating for Lin Heng to have to make a move on such a minor character.
Secondly, Mei Chu is Situ Jiannan's woman. If Situ Jiannan, as the Grand Steward of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, doesn't step forward to protect Mei Chu at this time, what will the Fire Ghost Clan think?
To put it simply, Lin Heng granted Situ Jiannan the power to use the Battle Heaven Pavilion's influence to protect his woman.
"Thank you, Master!"
Situ Jiannan was well aware of Lin Heng's intentions; having received authorization, he would not be polite.
On his own turf, right in front of him, they insulted his woman and her sect.
If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I, the head steward, am just a figurehead?
" Banbo'er, do you know your crime?"
Situ Jiannan stepped forward, came to Mei Chu's side, and coldly questioned Banbo'er.
"Acknowledge your guilt? Haha! My Fire Longhorn Beetle Clan is only under the rule of the Fire Clan. Does your Battle Heaven Pavilion intend to openly violate the rules of the Nine Heavens and provoke a war?"
Banbo'er's mocking laughter echoed in the Battle Heaven Pavilion, sounding particularly jarring.
Situ Jiannan understood that the other party was trying to pin a serious accusation on the Battle Heaven Pavilion, and at the same time, they wanted to use this as an excuse to prevent Battle Heaven Pavilion from taking action against him.
But when it comes to brainpower, can a cow compare to the most brilliant mind in the Battle Heaven Pavilion?
"Alright, since you don't know, then I'll list them for you one by one."
"Firstly, today is a joyous day for our Battle Heaven Pavilion to celebrate our Pavilion Master's breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos, yet you have openly caused trouble. This is disrespectful to a Primordial Chaos expert, and should be punished?"
Since Primordial Chaos is called a great being, he naturally has special privileges in the Nine Heavens. Disrespecting Primordial Chaos without any reason is a crime deserving of death.
This was only the first point, and Banbo'er's expression changed. But before he could explain, Situ Jiannan continued.
"Secondly, Mei Chu has already agreed to marry me, so she is my fiancée. You openly insulted my fiancée in my Battle Heaven Pavilion. Isn't this a declaration of war against my Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
Situ Jiannan's identity as a member of the Eighth Heaven is naturally known to everyone. He is the Grand Steward of the Battle Heaven Pavilion and can be said to be the most powerful person in the Battle Heaven Pavilion besides Lin Heng and Sun Yuan.
In someone else's sect, in front of them, he insulted their fiancée.
What else could it be but a declaration of war?
