Even though Lin Yi had consumed a Foundation-building Pill that had no side effects, if he did not cultivate diligently, it would still cause his strength to be unstable. After all, there was a huge difference between experts of the same level. The reason why Lin Yi was so far ahead was because of his hard work!
While Lin Yi was cultivating diligently in the space within the jade pendant, accumulating his foundation for his next breakthrough, what he did not know was that the two most troublesome enemies he was facing had met.
After being snubbed at the Flower Mist Residence, just as Shangguan Tianhua had predicted, the Southern Heaven Gate did not give up just like that. Although there were not many important figures that could help him put pressure on Hong Zhong, Shangguan Tianhua was not the only one in the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
For example, one of the members of the Elders Council of the Three Great Pavilions, the third elder of the Soaring Pavilion, Xu Yuanzheng, also had the ability to do so.
This time, the Southern Sky Gate did not visit Xu Yuanzheng alone like he did with Shanghai Tianhua. After all, Xu Yuanzheng was different from Shanghai Tianhua. Although he was also one of the few big shots in the Soaring Pavilion, he was only the third elder, not the Pavilion Master.
Shanghai Tianhua was undoubtedly the leader of the Soaring Pavilion. If the Southern Sky Gate visited him, no one would be able to find any fault with him. However, if he visited Xu Yuanzheng alone, it would be easy for people to think that he was siding with someone else. However, this did not stop him from asking for help from Xu Yuanzheng, the third elder of the Soaring Pavilion, because Xu Yuanzheng had a well-known spokesperson, his grandson, Xu Lingchong. Through Young Master Xu Lingchong's words, the South-Heaven Gate could also achieve its goal without taking any unnecessary risks.
The place where the Southern Sky Gate and Xu Lingchong had agreed to meet. It was the number one restaurant in the Soaring Pavilion, the Hualan Residence.
"Young Master Xu, aren't you overestimating the Southern Sky Gate by spending so much money to invite him to a banquet?" The young master sitting next to Xu Lingchong asked in confusion.
This person was called Lou Tianyou, the same as Xu Lingchong. He was the grandson of a powerful elder in the Soaring Pavilion. However, his grandfather was ranked below Xu Yuanzheng. According to the rules of the second generation, his status was slightly lower than Xu Lingchong's.
He had an extremely close relationship with Xu Lingchong. The relationship between the two of them was also extremely deep. Within the circle, they were Xu Lingchong's most reliable and most reliant subordinates.
Basically, wherever Xu Lingchong was around, he was the real second-in-command. As for people like Kang Ming Ming and Meng Jueguang, who were Xu Lingchong's new underlings, Xu Lingchong's subordinates, Their statuses were far below his, and they could not be compared. "Tianyou, what do you think my intention is by inviting the South-Heaven Gate to a feast?" Xu Lingchong asked with a profound look.
"Isn't this the guy who sent you a message, asking you to help pass a message to the Third Elder?" Lou Tianyou might be Xu Lingchong's loyal follower, and his strength and family background were also not bad. But this young master never liked to use his brain.
Xu Lingchong couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "He asked this Young Master to help bring a message, so he should be the one to treat me to a meal. Why should this Young Master spend so much money to entertain him? This Young Master is not sick in the head!"
"Then... Why is this?" Lou Tianyou scratched his head in confusion.
"The reason is simple. He's the Eldest Senior Brother of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, while I'm the Second Senior Brother of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. I'm ranked below him." Xu Lingchong said with a profound smile.
"So what? You're treating him like this just because you're ranked below him? With Young Master Xu's background, isn't it only a matter of time for you to step on him? Previously, your strength was slightly weaker, so it's not a big deal to let him be the Eldest Senior Brother of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. However, now that Young Master Xu has also reached the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm, what's there to be afraid of? "Lou Tianyou was even more confused.
Two months ago, when Young Master Xu went to welcome the newcomers as the envoy of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, he was only at the peak late-Foundation Stage. However, after two months, with the help of various pills, he had reached the peak Foundation Establishment Stage. He was only a step away from the Golden Core Stage, just like the South-Heaven Gate's Eldest Senior Brother who was in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
Hearing Lou Tianyou's doubt, Xu Lingchong couldn't help but laugh. "Tianyou, aren't you very clear about it? I'll be frank with you. The reason I invited the Southern Heaven Gate to a feast today is to tell him that I'm now an expert at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm. It's time for him to give up his position as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Soaring Sky Pavilion."
"I see! I knew it, our Young Master Xu isn't the kind of person to let others take advantage of him. There's a deeper meaning to it! " Lou Tianyou burst out laughing, but then frowned and said, "However, that Southern Heaven Gate does have some background. Would he really give up his position just because Young Master Xu said that?"
"Hmph, we'll have to see if he knows what's good for him. It's better to be polite before resorting to force. Today's feast is just a greeting, there's still more to come." Xu Lingchong harrumphed coldly.
Even Young Master Xu was slightly afraid of the background of the Three Heroes of the Nan Clan. Unless he had no other choice, he didn't want to become enemies with the Three Heroes of the Nan Clan. However, as a cultivator, his own interests came first. If the Three Heroes of the Nan Clan were so stupid as to block his path, then Xu Lingchong didn't mind paying a small price to trample on them.
"You guys are always scheming and scheming. I'm sick of it. Anyway, when the time comes, I'll do whatever Young Master Xu tells me." Lou Tianyou scratched his head as if he had a headache. Then, his expression changed and he said excitedly, "Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Young Master Xu, let me tell you something fun."
"What's fun?" Xu Lingchong raised his eyebrows in surprise. When these young masters gathered together, they rarely did anything serious. Basically, they just had all sorts of fun. Lou Tianyou, this guy, was the one who liked to play around the most.
"Murong Zhen, that blind slut, was trampled all the way to the New Welcoming Pavilion by me. Not only that, I even made her a new disciple of the Clear Cloud Pavilion. Even if she comes out from the New Welcoming Pavilion, she can only go to the Clear Cloud Pavilion, that kind of trash shelter. Young Master Xu, don't you think that's fun?" Lou Tianyou said with a smug smile.
