"The leader of the Hidden Pavilion cannot be bullied!"
Following a cold shout, the woman's body exploded and her soul was destroyed.
This made everyone's blood boil and their hearts surge.
Xiang Jiuchen and the three elders reacted the same way. They felt the anger in their chests finally evaporate.
Once upon a time, the Pavilion of Three Lives was very low key. Whenever they had conflicts with other forces, they mostly tolerated it. Today, they finally realized that tolerating it would only make others think they were easy to bully.
Only when they acted aggressively could they intimidate the weak!
This aggressiveness originated from Ling Xian and the Hidden Pavilion.
If he didn't lead everyone here, Xiang Jiuchen wouldn't have been able to act so aggressively.
"Hahaha, this feels great!"
Xiang Jiuchen laughed into the sky, "I sure want to see if those forces dare to declare war against the Pavilion of Three Lives!"
"I sure hope they do. That way, they can all be wiped out. It's time for the leader's seat to be replaced!" The First Elder said aggressively. He felt like he had just let out a breath and all the bitterness in his chest was swept away.
This made Ling Xian smile. A smile of relief.
What happened today was a huge blow to the Pavilion of Three Lives. However, Xiang Jiuchen and the others were not affected. Instead, they felt more confident.
Given time, the Pavilion of Three Lives will be reborn from the ashes and achieve glory once again!
"Everyone, let's clean up the battlefield."
Ling Xian's eyes darkened, "Please bury the corpses of those who died in battle."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene fell silent.
The ruined Pavilion of Three Lives could be rebuilt and the damaged treasures could be repaired. But the people who died were truly dead.
Their loved ones, good friends, and Dao Companions had all perished in this battle. To those who were still alive, this was both a form of fortune and a form of sorrow.
Therefore, at this moment, the Pavilion of Three Lives was in sorrow. Even the heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into sorrow.
After a while, a loud sob rose and kicked off the crying.
Everyone was crying and feeling sad. The entire world was shrouded in sorrow.
Ling Xian sighed a long sigh as well, feeling sad.
War was always cruel. This was a fact that not even Supremes could change.
"Everyone, my condolences."
Ling Xian stood up with difficulty and glanced around, "Their sacrifice allowed us to live. So, please turn your sorrow into motivation to strengthen yourself. Only then can I protect the people I care about and protect the Pavilion of Three Lives. "
Hearing this, everyone stopped crying. Without saying a word, they began to clean up the battlefield.
Their expressions were determined and their steps were steady. Though they were silent, Ling Xian saw something called fighting spirit growing inside everyone's heart.
This made him feel even more gratified. If everyone could turn their sorrow into motivation, then the Pavilion of Three Lives would become more and more glorious.
"I will tally up the numbers of those who died. Their families will all be taken care of by the Pavilion of Three Lives." Xiang Ninedust floated over to Ling Xian's side, looking rather downcast.
"Alright."
Ling Xian smiled, "This is what the Pavilion of Three Lives should do, and it is something we must do."
"Ugh. I've let them down. As the lord of a pavilion, I wasn't able to protect them properly." Xiang Ninedust blamed himself.
"There is no need to blame yourself. You have done well enough." Ling Xian waved his hand.
"It's far from enough."
Xiang Ninedust sighed and changed the topic, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Thank you for what you did today."
"That was my responsibility. There is no need to thank me." Ling Xian shook his head. Ever since he accepted the position of leader of the Hidden Pavilion, he had a premonition that this day would come.
"You could've chosen to leave and not do anything. But you didn't. Instead, you used your life as the last hope."
The Head Elder spoke. Other than praise in his eyes, there was also appreciation. "For that alone, you deserve a bow from me."
Then, he bowed deeply towards Ling Xian.
At the same time, Xiang Ninedust, Second Elder, and Third Elder bowed as well, expressing their respect.
Ling Xian smiled helplessly at this. "Please don't flatter me."
"You deserve it."
The Second Elder suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with guilt and bitterness.
Third Elder was the same.
They once made things difficult for Ling Xian because they didn't want him to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion. What happened today, without a doubt, proved their mistake.
This was equivalent to a resounding slap on the faces of the two of them.
"What happened back then was our fault."
Second Elder's face was bitter. "Today, I apologize to you."
"Back then, I had eyes but failed to see. I hope the leader of the Hidden Pavilion doesn't take it to heart." Third Elder sighed deeply. There was shame and bitterness.
"What happened back then … I have forgotten about it a long time ago."
Ling Xian softly grinned. "We simply have different standpoints and different viewpoints. It's not your fault."
Hearing this, the two of them sighed in relief. They now knew that Ling Xian truly didn't hate them.
His generosity made them feel even more ashamed. They felt like they had wasted their years living like dogs.
"Let's just forget about this. There is no need to bring it up again."
Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. He had forgotten about what happened back then. If these two didn't bring it up again, he probably wouldn't even remember it.
"Haha, I was right about you. To have you as the leader of the Hidden Pavilion is the fortune of the Pavilion of Three Lives." The Head Elder laughed brightly, his eyes were full of admiration.
Ling Xian faintly smiled at this and shifted his gaze towards the Leader of Darkness and them, "Everything is over. You can all leave now."
"Yes!"
The few of them paid their respect and disappeared in an instant.
This was the style of the members of the Hidden Pavilion, or rather, their mission.
When the Pavilion of Three Lives is in danger, they must step up and spill their blood. Then, after everything is over, they will leave without a trace.
"They are the true heroes."
Ling Xian exclaimed, "Unknown but a true hero."
"Yes, the Pavilion of Three Lives will not let them down!" Xiang Jiuchen's voice was loud and powerful.
"It's enough to hear you say that."
Ling Xian grinned, "It's time for me to leave. I believe that after this battle, the Pavilion of Three Lives will become even more cohesive. Those who last until the end will for sure become the backbone of the Pavilion of Three Lives."
"That's right."
Looking at the silhouettes cleaning up the battlefield, Xiang Jiuchen's eyes flickered with happiness, "I will train these people well and make them the backbone of the Pavilion of Three Lives."
"This is a blessing in disguise."
Ling Xian grinned, "The Pavilion of Three Lives has lost a lot of people. I suggest we open up our doors and add in some new blood."
"That's how it should be. Even though the Pavilion of Three Lives has always valued quality over quantity, we have lost a lot of people. We really do need some new blood." Xiang Jiuchen nodded.
"This has nothing to do with me. You decide."
Grinning, Ling Xian paid his respect, "I am leaving. Goodbye."
Then, his silhouette faded and disappeared where he stood.
However, an hour later, he came back.
This time, Ling Xian took off his black robe and appeared in his real self.
The identity of the Hidden Pavilion's leader was not suitable for him to stay at the Pavilion of Three Lives. It would be too inconvenient. Therefore, he purposely put on an act and told everyone that the Hidden Pavilion's leader had left.
When he arrived in his real self, what greeted him was Ning Yan's fury.
