In the restaurant, Shenlang sneered after listening to Pang Ban's report. "So it was Xing Chen Pavilion who was behind this. I was wondering why anyone would dare to lay their hands on the Hades."
Shenlang already knew the reason. It started from the incident with Zhenren Jiuxiao and Changchun. Xing Chen Pavilion's elder, Yan Tian, went to the Lifeless Mountains with him and Zhao Qi. In the end, he was killed by the Enchanted Moon when they were fighting for the Dream Heart Sutra. In order not to draw attention to himself, he asked the Empress and the Wisdom King to create an illusion in the East Region so that people would think that they were killed by the Hades. Later on, because the Hades were too mysterious, they couldn't find the Hades' hiding place.
Now that the Hades were strong, the imperial court suppressed the crusade against the Hades out of rationality. However, Xing Chen Pavilion didn't take this lying down. During the battle between the Hades and the Temple of Eternal Life, Xing Chen Pavilion organized an operation to plot against the Hades.
However, they didn't expect the Black Impermanence to be so strong that he could break through the siege and escape, causing their plan to fail.
After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Shenlang sorted out the cause and effect.
Now, the only thing left was how to deal with Xing Chen Pavilion.
The Star Pavilion was a business force, unlike the other major forces, which were all in the form of sects or clans. Although the Star Pavilion's strength was not considered strong among the 21 major forces, it was definitely rich in resources, so there were many experts in the Star Pavilion.
Shenlang was preparing to lay his hands on Xing Chen Pavilion. Initially, he thought that he would only lay his hands on some small forces to intimidate them. After eliminating the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū, he would settle the score with them. However, Shenlang changed his mind now. Xing Chen Pavilion had countless resources and wasn't that strong, which was just right for his plan.
As soon as he thought of it, Shen Lei summoned Yan Guiren and the others and ordered, "Go to the Stellar Pavilion now and kill the Pavilion Master for me. Don't be afraid, just do it."
Killing intent flashed in the eyes of Yan Guiren and the other three as they replied, "Yes, Emperor."
...
The headquarters of the Star Pavilion was located in the Qi Province of the Northern Region.
The headquarters of the Star Pavilion was built in gold and jade, with palaces and pavilions.
At this time, people were coming and going in front of the Star Pavilion's headquarters. They were all cultivators who had come here to purchase cultivation resources.
The Star Pavilion was a business empire in the Zhenwu Continent. Generally, martial artists who had some money would come to the Star Pavilion to buy some martial arts resources for their descendants or themselves.
Just as the Star Pavilion was bustling with noise and excitement, four air-piercing sounds suddenly rang out.
Then, people saw four figures suddenly appear above the Star Pavilion's headquarters.
These four people were dressed in luxurious black robes and wore different masks. Their auras were extremely terrifying, and even the sky was distorted.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but exclaim at the same time. "Hades."
"Everyone, listen up. I'll give you three breaths of time to leave the Star Pavilion quickly."
Hearing this voice, those martial artists didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly ran outside.
There was no one who didn't know the extent of Hell's power. When the gods fought, the mortals would suffer. Everyone understood this principle. Thus, no one dared to stay. Even those who had paid for their services and hadn't received anything in return ran out of the building.
After fleeing far away, a martial artist wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with lingering fear, "Alas, it seems that the Star Pavilion is in trouble."
Another martial artist heard that and shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? But since the Star Pavilion has provoked Hades, I'm afraid they'll have to pay the price. Now, in the entire Zhenwu Continent, everyone knows the strength of Hades. No matter who it is, if they're targeted by Hades, they won't have a good ending."
"However, I'm more curious. What on earth made Hades so moved? Our Northern Region doesn't seem to have any contact with Hades, right? Hasn't Hades always been active in the Eastern Region and the Southern Region? "
At this time, a martial artist who knew some information said, "Alas, you guys don't know. The Star Pavilion and Hades do have a grudge. It's said that the Star Pavilion's elder, Yan Tian, died at the hands of Hades. Also, I heard that the Star Pavilion even ambushed Hades' men last time. That's why Hades came to find trouble with the Star Pavilion this time."
Hearing that martial artist's words, everyone nodded in understanding. Then, they turned around to watch the show.
This kind of battle between two major forces was rare in the Zhenwu Continent. Since the ancient times, although there were occasional conflicts between the various forces, there were still very few big battles.
Of course, the battle in the Southern Region didn't count. After all, they were too far away from the Southern Region and had never seen the battle in the Southern Region.
Just as Yan Guiren and the other three arrived at the Star Pavilion, two figures stood quietly in a corner of the city, looking up at the sky.
"Brother Tianji, it looks like the Star Pavilion is in trouble this time. I wonder how the Star Pavilion will deal with Hades's interrogation."
A middle-aged man with a white face and no beard gloated.
The other old man, who was wearing a white robe embroidered with the Eight Trigrams, slowly shook his head. "Although the Star Pavilion was in some danger this time, it was more daunting than dangerous in the end."
"Oh?"
"Brother Tianji, did you divine something?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"Haha, I can't say. Brother Chu, just keep watching," Tian Jizi said unfathomably.
These two people were the Pavilion Master of the Tenji Pavilion, Tian Jizi. The middle-aged man with a white face and no beard was the Patriarch of the Chu Clan, one of the Five Great Clans.
Tian Jizi had a lot of friends. Last time, he was in the Southern Region and helped the Four Symbols Sect avoid a disaster. This time, he divined that something was going to happen in the Northern Region, so he came to the Northern Region to join in the fun.
Tian Jizi was a mysterious person. No one knew where he came from. They only knew that he was the current Pavilion Master of the Tenji Pavilion and was given the title of this generation's Tian Jizi.
No one knew Tian Jizi's cultivation level, but no one could see through Tian Jizi. Even the Patriarch of the Four Symbols Sect, Ye Lingxiao, and the Patriarch of the Chu Clan did not know Tian Jizi's true strength.
The Patriarch of the Chu Clan and Tian Jizi knew each other. Just like Ye Lingxiao, they met by chance when they were young. Tian Jizi was a good person, but he was also different from the rest. The Patriarch of the Chu Clan and Ye Lingxiao were not ordinary people either. They were both geniuses of the same generation. When they met the extraordinary Tian Jizi, they both wanted to befriend each other, so they established many years of friendship.
"Speaking of which, brother Tianji, have you divined the origins of Hades?" The Patriarch of the Chu Clan suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown.
