"Sect Leader Tu, why didn't I see Pill King Ling today? Is Pill King Ling going to be absent like last time? I don't think that's a good idea. " Pavilion Master Bai, the Pavilion Master of Kuixing Pavilion, sounded sincere when he asked this question. However, his eyes were full of cunning cunning intent!
Tu Bai's expression turned unnatural when he heard the question.
Currently, Tian Gang Continent was dominated by Kuixing Pavilion and Ling Dong's True Dipper Sect. Excluding the three empires, the entire Tian Gang Continent was ruled by Kuixing Pavilion and Ling Dong's True Dipper Sect.
There was no doubt that Kuixing Pavilion and True Dipper Sect were each other's biggest rivals. As the saying goes, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Kuixing Pavilion and True Dipper Sect would have a huge conflict of interest sooner or later.
Although Kuixing Pavilion Leader and Ling Dong had an agreement to deal with the new Celestial Official You Qianjun together, the conflict of interest between the two forces was not fixed.
For example, Ling Dong had offended True Dipper Sect's Celestial Official You Qianjun for some reason. Kuixing Pavilion Leader believed that True Dipper Sect, led by Ling Dong, would be suppressed as long as Celestial Official You Qianjun was in power.
This kind of suppression was blatant. For example, True Dipper Sect would have to take on more valuable tasks. For example, True Dipper Sect would transfer their elites to do some thankless tasks. Even if True Dipper Sect knew that Celestial Official You Qianjun was suppressing them, there was nothing they could do.
Strength determined everything.
According to Kuixing Pavilion Leader's knowledge, a Celestial Official You Qianjun could be in power for as long as seven to eight hundred years. In other words, True Dipper Sect would be suppressed by Celestial Official You Qianjun for a long time to come.
Kuixing Pavilion had used some means to find out about Celestial Official You Qianjun's status and had made some preparations. He believed that Celestial Official You Qianjun would have a good impression of Kuixing Pavilion. He believed that Celestial Official You Qianjun would take care of True Dipper Sect in the future and even give them some special privileges.
That was the reason why Kui Xing Cabinet Master had asked True Dipper Sect's Sect Leader Tu Bai in front of so many people!
Everyone knew that half a year ago, Ling Dong had been punished by the Celestial Official You Qianjun because he was late. The three leaders of the True Gang Sect had been hung from the cliff for a long time.
The Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion brought up the matter again in an attempt to damage the reputation of Ling Dong and True Dipper Sect. At the same time, he was subtly telling the leaders of the various factions that the current True Dipper Sect and Pill King Ling Dong were no longer a force to be reckoned with. The Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion was the most powerful force in the world. Everyone should learn from Kui Xing Pavilion!
"Well … Pavilion Lord Bai, actually, Pill King Ling received … special permission from Lord Xingguan. Lord Xingguan allowed Pill King Ling not to attend the ceremony …" Tu Bai said nervously.
To be honest, Tu Bai's nervousness wasn't an act. It was because Ling Dong's plan was too daring. Tu Bai was instinctively nervous when he thought of the dangers involved!
The eyes of the Kuixing Pavilion Master and the other leaders of the major forces surrounding him were extremely sharp. With a single glance, they could see through Tu Bai's guilty conscience and nervousness. All of this revealed that Tu Bai was not confident enough!
From this, they could infer that the reason why Ling Dong hadn't arrived today wasn't as Tu Bai had said. There might be something else going on.
With the experience of these leaders, they could roughly deduce the reason. Firstly, Ling Dong was too ashamed to meet people. Secondly, he was severely injured. Either way, he had suffered greatly at the hands of You Xingguan that day.
"Oh, I see. If that's the case, this old man is a little envious of Pill King Ling!" The Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion said nonchalantly and walked to the side.
However, this simple sentence from the Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion was like a bugle call to charge. The leaders of the various factions gathered around the Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion like a pack of cats that had smelled blood.
The leaders of the various factions that were surrounding Tu Bai just a moment ago had all disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even the special envoy of the Yaoguang Empire's royal family, Bi Hong, who was the uncle of the current emperor of the Yaoguang Empire, Bi Pengcheng, had gathered around the Pavilion Master of Kui Xing Pavilion.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Many people had seen how Ling Dong was brutally beaten up by the Xingguan Palace on the Heaven Receiving Platform. Half a year later, the news had already spread to the ears of those who were paying attention.
The news that Ling Dong was about to lose power because of the arrival of the Xingguan Palace had already spread in secret. If it weren't for Ling Dong's strength, the rumors would have spread even faster.
Tu Bai grew even more nervous when she saw the situation. "Will Big Brother Ling succeed when he arrives? The people here are all as shrewd as foxes. If they notice even the slightest flaw … "Tu Bai didn't dare imagine the consequences.
To be honest, Tu Bai was extremely worried about Ling Dong's extremely risky plan.
"It's already noon. Why isn't the Xingguan Palace Official here yet? Is he delayed by something?" Many people muttered as they looked at the huge throne in the middle of the resplendent palace and then looked at the sky.
As time passed, it was evening, but Celestial Official You Qianjun still hadn't appeared. This made many people anxious, and the discussion gradually grew louder.
"Pavilion Master Bai, it's almost midnight. I don't think the Xingguan Palace Official will come today. Why don't we take a break and come back tomorrow morning to wait? "
At midnight, when the moon was high in the sky and the silver stars were shining brightly, many people couldn't wait any longer.
Speaking of tiredness, given the cultivation level of the people present, they wouldn't be too tired. However, after waiting for an entire day and being nervous for an entire night, some people couldn't help but make such a suggestion.
However, if you asked someone not to wait and leave alone, he wouldn't dare to do so. Hence, he came to seek advice from the head of the Kuixing Pavilion, the Pavilion Master. If everyone left, the law couldn't punish the majority. Even if the Xingguan Palace Official wasn't an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a problem if he came to worship at night.
Seeing that many people followed his lead and regarded him as the head of the Kuixing Pavilion, the Pavilion Master wanted to establish himself as the leader of the Kuixing Pavilion.
How could he establish himself as the leader of the Kuixing Pavilion? That was to make decisions for everyone. He would use his will as the representative of the Kuixing Pavilion to decide everyone's actions.
"Yes, it's midnight. The Xingguan Palace Official probably won't be coming. Perhaps he has something urgent to attend to? Since that's the case, everyone has been waiting for an entire day. Why don't you go back and rest for a few hours to recover your energy? Otherwise, when you pay your respects to the Xingguan Palace Official tomorrow, you'll be dispirited and infuriated! "
The Pavilion Master's words were very tactful. He mentioned various aspects and even attributed tonight's rest to being in a better state of mind to greet the Xingguan Palace Official tomorrow. He was really experienced in the ways of the world.
After hearing the Pavilion Master's words, the leaders of the various forces seemed to have found their backbone. After a round of applause, some of them prepared to leave.
"Humph!"
At this moment, the Pavilion Master suddenly let out a cold snort that hurt everyone's ears. "However, I'll say this first. Tomorrow morning, if anyone dares to be late and miss the gathering time to greet the Xingguan Palace Official, don't blame me for being merciless!"
In fact, the Pavilion Master Kuixing's last sentence, which sounded rather harsh, was a complete waste of breath. However, there was an effect to his nonsensical words. The last sentence of the Kuixing Pavilion Master was a little harsh, but it was enough to establish his position as the Kuixing Pavilion Master.
Just as the Pavilion Master had expected, after he finished speaking, he had established his position as the leader and even the number one person under the Star Removal Officer!
What surprised Pavilion Master Kuixing even more was that the leaders of the various factions actually replied in unison, "We will follow Pavilion Master Bai's instructions!"
This resounding response surprised the Pavilion Master, but it also made him extremely happy. He had established his position as the leader of the entire Tiangang Continent in such a short time.
However, the Pavilion Master was a man of character. Even if he was happy, he would not show it on his face. He just waved his hand at the various leaders and led them to leave the Connecting Heaven Palace. He had the demeanor of a big brother!
"Everyone, please listen to Tu Bai. Slow down a few steps. Perhaps Lord Xing Guan will be here soon!" Tu Bai's voice abruptly rang out when the leaders of various forces were escorting Kui Xing Pavilion Master away like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
Tu Bai's voice was laced with a hint of nervousness.
In the past, Tu Bai, the Sect Master of the True Dipper Sect, would have been feared by many. However, now that Kui Xing Pavilion Master was in charge, they couldn't help but feel a little lighter. Some of them were already dissatisfied with Tu Bai's obstruction. Therefore, some of them became bolder.
"It's already so late. It's already midnight. Will the Star Official still come? Sect Master Tu, do you think that the Star Official is a relative of yours? Do you think he can come whenever you want him to?
What a load of nonsense! " The words' nonsense 'at the end were extremely loud and clear. It was as if a slap had landed on Tu Bai's face!
Tu Bai's face flushed red when he heard the scolding from the crowd. The Pavilion Master, on the other hand, looked at all of this with an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.
After all, the more the True Gang Sect's reputation was damaged, the more beneficial it would be for the Pavilion Master!
"Who are you calling a load of nonsense?" While the various leaders were secretly laughing at Tu Bai, a faint voice suddenly rang out and continued the conversation.
Perhaps the person was still pleased with himself, or perhaps the person who scolded Tu Bai just now subconsciously thought that it was Tu Bai who continued the conversation, so he casually replied, "If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Are you stupid?"
"How dare you!"
The faint voice suddenly turned cold. A shout exploded in everyone's ears like a sudden clap of thunder. A ray of black light suddenly emerged from a ball of starlight. It was like a dragon emerging from the sea. In an instant, it penetrated the crowd around the Pavilion Master.
Blood splattered everywhere!
