"This woman isn't as simple as she seems!" Lin Yi had completely understood Murong Zhen's plan. He believed that Meng Jueguang was doing the same. However, even though they knew this, there was nothing they could do to Murong Zhen.
They could only watch as Murong Zhen became the third-level existence that everyone looked up to, yet they could not do anything about it. Otherwise, if Murong Zhen decided to side with the slightest sign of trouble, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
They finally realized that Murong Zhen was planning something that no one could stop. Furthermore, due to the rules of the Newcomer Challenge, they had no way of stopping her. They could only watch as the woman slowly established her foundation and spread her wings.
However, the good news for Lin Yi was that he only had two subordinates, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai. With Lin Yi's order, it would not be easy for Murong Zhen to seduce them.
On the other hand, Meng Jueguang's side was different. His subordinates were not very loyal. Furthermore, everyone, including Meng Tong, was drooling over the beauty Murong Zhen. As Murong Zhen slowly established her position, it was very likely that these people would be swayed by the wind.
Due to being suppressed by Lin Yi and his group, Meng Jueguang's control over the newcomers had dropped to a freezing point. Even if these people did not dare to betray him openly, if Murong Zhen were to give them a flirtatious look, or even give them some benefits, it was believed that not many people would refuse to flirt with the beauty Murong Zhen.
Murong Zhen's brilliance was that even if Meng Jueguang knew that she was trying to poach him, he could only endure it for the time being, in order not to make the situation worse, in order not to force Murong Zhen to side with Lin Yi.
While Murong Zhen was stirring up a storm in the Newcomer Welcoming Pavilion, Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe, who were far away in the Soaring Pavilion, finally arrived. The leader of the Nan Clan's Three Heroes, Nan Tianba.
Nan Tianba had just returned from a mission. He was still wearing his sinister-looking black armor as he sat on the main seat. He looked sternly at Yu Zhe, who was trembling on the ground, not daring to move. He then looked at the nervous Southern Heavenly Gate.
Suppressing the two of them until they couldn't breathe, Nan Tianba finally suppressed his anger and said, "This King has only left the island to carry out a mission for two months, yet such a big thing actually happened. Third Brother lost his life and you still haven't caught the culprit. Second Brother, you've really disappointed this King!"
At the same time, because Nan Tianba had just experienced a cruel massacre, his expression changed. A murderous aura combined with a powerful aura forced Yu Zhe, a middle stage Foundation Building expert, to lie on the ground, not daring to move a muscle.
After all, the person before them was an existence that surpassed the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the South-Heaven Gate. He was a true Golden Core expert, who was regarded as a cornerstone of the three great pavilions!
In addition to Yu Zhe, even the South-Heaven Gate, the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Sky-Soaring Pavilion, had his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Big Brother, it's not that I don't want to avenge Third Brother. It's just that I've already told you in detail. This Kang Ming Ming not only involves Xu Lingchong, but also Eldest Miss Shangguan. This is no small matter. I really don't dare to act blindly without thinking. "South-Heaven Gate complained with a sullen face.
Hearing this, Nan Tianba couldn't help but frown. With his powerful Golden Core Stage strength, people like Xu Lingchong and Shanghai Laner couldn't even enter his eyes. He didn't care about them at all, but the big shots behind them were the ones who stood at the peak of the entire north island. Even a Golden Core Stage expert like him didn't dare to provoke them.
What's more, now that Xu Lingchong was eyeing the position of the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Sky-Soaring Pavilion, this was the time when they needed a relationship with the higher-ups. Otherwise, if a big boss like Shanghai Tianhua were to casually open his mouth, South-Heaven Gate would have no choice but to give up his position without any resistance.
After a long silence, Nan Tianba finally opened his mouth and said, "Fine, this situation is indeed difficult to deal with. This matter can't be completely blamed on you. The most important thing right now is to protect your position as the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Sky-Soaring Pavilion. As for Third Brother, we'll think of a way to avenge him later."
Southern Heaven Gate's position could allow him to gain a lot of benefits. Even Nan Tianba benefited a lot from it. Therefore, even if Southern Heaven Gate wanted to give up, he wouldn't agree.
Seeing that Nan Tianba finally didn't hold on to Third Brother's matter, Southern Heaven Gate immediately let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "I'll listen to big brother's orders."
"You've always been resourceful. Why don't you tell me what we should do next." Nan Tianba gestured for Southern Heaven Gate to come up with a plan. Although he was the eldest of the Nan Family's Three Heroes and his strength was undeniable, he didn't like these troublesome matters.
"Big brother, just the two of us alone aren't enough. Therefore, I think it's necessary to let Middle Island's uncle come forward and write a letter to the higher-ups of the Sky-Soaring Pavilion. Even if we can't convince all of them, we can at least increase our prestige. At least we won't appear to be too weak. These higher-ups will still have some concerns and won't all side with Xu Lingchong." Southern Heaven Gate suggested.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. I'll write a letter to uncle now." Nan Tianba nodded his head and then sighed, "It's fortunate that our grandfather has been in closed door cultivation for the past few years. Otherwise, with his influence, if he were to come forward and say a word, who in the Sky-Soaring Pavilion's higher-ups would dare to say a word?"
"That's right, I hope the old man can successfully go into closed door cultivation this time. When the time comes, we'll be able to hold our heads up high!" Southern Heaven Gate also had a face full of emotions.
After the two brothers finished their discussion, Nan Tianba's gaze shifted to Yu Zhe. His face suddenly turned cold and he coldly snorted, "Third brother's death was all because of you. According to my original plan, I wanted to kill you to comfort third brother's soul in heaven!"
Hearing this, Yu Zhe was instantly covered in a cold sweat. All of the hairs on his body stood up. Nan Tianba's killing intent was real, these words weren't a joke.
Luckily, Nan Tianba had another sentence, "However, seeing that third brother has always praised you as a disciple, I'll spare your dog life today. Scram!"
Yu Zhe hurriedly shouted, "Eldest Martial Uncle, please wait. This disciple has been reading ancient books in the library for the past three years. I know of a treasure that can help you become the strongest Nascent Soul expert!"
What a joke! He didn't hesitate to reveal the secret of the Star Ink Stone because he coveted the Southern Heaven Gate's Minor Phaseless Technique. Moreover, if he stayed, this Eldest Martial Uncle would have even more benefits. How could he let go of this opportunity!
