Agreed. A Trip Was Needed?

Li Yunjing slowly walked through the air and stood in front of Gu Anchen.

His fingertip sword technique remained as steady as a mountain, a faint smile on his face:

"With so many Law Treasure thrown out in succession, it seems that your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion truly has some resources."

Submit to my Luozhen Sect, and the Luozhen Sect will not mistreat you.

Cold sweat streamed down Gu Anchen's forehead; he was terrified that Li Yunjing would unleash that Sword Intent and kill him.

Therefore, upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Gu Anchen already had the intention to agree.

After all, he only has one life. He's still young and has plenty of time ahead of him, so there's no need to fight to the death.

However, as the head of the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, Gu Anchen couldn't speak up immediately, as that would make it seem like he was begging for favors.

Therefore, Gu Anchen did not respond immediately.

Li Yunjing was also surprised that Gu Anchen did not respond.

He thought Gu Anchen was so principled that he would rather die than submit.

"Alright, it seems you're a tough nut to crack. I won't force you," Li Yunjing said regretfully.

He was about to unleash his Sword Intent to shatter Gu Anchen's Nascent Soul and kill him completely.

Gu Anchen was terrified. He was just pretending to be reserved, how could he have been misunderstood!

In order to save his own life, Gu Anchen quickly spoke up.

"Wait! I'm willing to submit! I'm willing to submit!"

Just as Li Yunjing was about to unleash his Sword Intent, he stopped abruptly when Gu Anchen spoke.

"Have you figured it out?" Li Yunjing asked.

Gu Anchen nodded repeatedly. "I've figured it out, I've figured it out! My Heavenly Artifact Pavilion is willing to cooperate with the Luozhen Sect and make the entire Chenwei Dao Realm the Luozhen Sect Sect's backyard!"

Li Yunjing smiled with satisfaction, "You should have said so earlier."

With a change in his sword technique, Li Yunjing withdrew the Seven Slaughters Sword Intent.

Only then did Gu Anchen finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, his life was finally saved.

The two of them, one after the other, returned to the inn.

As soon as Li Yunjing sat down, Gu Anchen immediately came forward to pour Li Yunjing tea.

"Tell me about the situation in the Chenwei Dao Realm," Li Yunjing said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Anchen considered for a moment and then explained the specific situation of the Chenwei Dao Realm in detail.

The Chenwei Dao Realm is currently divided between two major sects: the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion and the Tiger Jiao Kingdom.

The Heavenly Artifact Pavilion has been passed down for nine thousand years in the Chenwei Dao Realm. Its founder was known as Tianqizi Master, whose weapon-refining skills were truly astonishing.

As for the Tiger Jiao Kingdom Tiger Jiao Kingdom, it is a kingdom created by Demon Beast, where humans and demons coexist.

The kingdom was founded by an High Antiquity mythical beast Tiger Jiao.

These strange beasts have the heads of dragons and the bodies of tigers, and are extremely powerful.

Nine thousand years ago, this Tiger Jiao founded the Tiger Jiao Kingdom.

It was around that time that Tianqizi founded the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.

Tiger Jiao and Tianqizi were the two strongest beings in the Chenwei Dao Realm at that time, and they had many battles.

The Tiger Jiao Kingdom and the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion also developed a feud.

The two forces have had friction to this day, but fortunately both sides have exercised restraint and no major conflict has broken out.

Tianqizi is dead, but Tiger Jiao is still alive and in his prime.

There's no way around it; that's just how High Antiquity beasts are—their lifespans are far beyond what human cultivators can match.

Under these two forces, there are also quite a few other forces that are not bad.

However, the vast majority of forces are affiliated with the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion or the Tiger Jiao Kingdom.

"In other words, your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion Heavenly Artifact Pavilion only represent your position and the forces that are affiliated with it."

"The Heavenly Artifact Pavilion can't do anything about the Tiger Jiao Kingdom, right?" Li Yunjing said after listening.

Gu Anchen nodded. "That's right. That Tiger Jiao is fierce. If we discuss this matter with him, it will definitely make him lose his temper."

In the current Chenwei Dao Realm, it is estimated that there are few who can rival that Tiger Jiao.

Li Yunjing nodded slowly, lost in thought.

Given the current situation, if one wants to treat the Chenwei Dao Realm as their backyard, they'll have to make a trip to the Tiger Jiao Kingdom.

However, after careful consideration, Li Yunjing felt that it was unnecessary.

The matter with the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion is almost settled; after all, what Li Yunjing really wanted was an artifact refiner.

The situation in the Tiger Jiao Kingdom is unclear; it wouldn't hurt to investigate further later.

With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing made his decision.

"Let's leave the Tiger Jiao Kingdom aside for now. Since your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion is willing to submit to the Luozhen Sect, that's fine."

I will then produce a talisman. Once the talisman is signed, your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion will be unable to back out.

"I will send someone to set up a teleportation array later, so that your people from the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion can go to the Tianyuan Dao Realm through the teleportation array," Li Yunjing said.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Gu Anchen's eyes.

"Can we go to the Tianyuan Dao Realm?"

Gu Anchen found it unbelievable.

Li Yunjing smiled, "Why not? I came to the Chenwei Dao Realm to find a qualified weapon refiner."

Your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion must have many skilled weapon refiners; these people will naturally accompany me to Tianyuan.

"In Tianyuan, I have a very important task for you weapon refiners to handle."

Upon hearing this, Gu Anchen frowned, looking preoccupied.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Sect Leader, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

"There aren't many weapon refiners left in my Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, only eight, including myself."

Li Yunjing frowned immediately. "Why is that?"

A bitter expression appeared on Gu Anchen's face.

"Alas, it's all because of that Tiger Jiao Kingdom."

The Tiger Jiao Kingdom and my Heavenly Artifact Pavilion have a long-standing feud, and the Tiger Jiao has always wanted to annex my Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.

Due to the legacy left by the patriarch, Tiger Jiao has never succeeded.

But even the greatest resources will eventually run out; the resources left by the patriarch have been almost completely depleted.

That Tiger Jiao has been harassing the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, and not long ago it even announced that any weapon refiner who leaves the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion and joins the Tiger Jiao Kingdom will receive a generous reward.

My Heavenly Artifact Pavilion could have retained those who wanted to leave by offering substantial rewards.

But Tiger Jiao increased his stakes, and my Heavenly Artifact Pavilion couldn't keep up, so we could only let those people leave the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.

Li Yunjing was speechless after hearing this.

"Is your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion really that unpopular?"

How could a member of a sect be lured away by such a huge reward? What heinous crime has the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion committed?

Gu Anchen smiled wryly, "This story goes back five hundred years. The Heavenly Artifact Pavilion did something stupid, which caused the people's hearts to fall apart."

If it weren't for the help of a few elders, the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion would have disbanded long ago.

In order for the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion to continue its legacy, the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion can only recruit talented cultivators from among the Rogue Cultivator.

But so far, very few cultivators have satisfied the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "So, does that mean we should make a trip to the Tiger Jiao Kingdom?"

"I wonder if eight weapon refiners will be enough..." Li Yunjing thought to himself.

At this moment, Gu Anchen spoke again, "To be honest, Sect Leader, one of the most precious heirlooms of my Heavenly Artifact Pavilion has also been taken by the Tiger Jiao."

If we can retrieve this treasure, our Heavenly Artifact Pavilion will be able to train advanced weapon refiners in a short period of time.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing thought, "Fine, no need to think about it anymore, I definitely have to go to the Tiger Jiao Kingdom."

"Hmm, it seems we'll have to go to the Tiger Jiao Kingdom. Get ready and come with me," Li Yunjing said to Gu Anchen.

Gu Anchen felt a little uneasy. "Sect Leader, why don't you go back to Tianyuan and find more people? That Tiger Jiao is extremely ferocious."

"No need. Your strength is quite good. With me and the people from your Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, dealing with a Tiger Jiao shouldn't be a problem." Li Yunjing said calmly...
