Chapter 226 - Chapter 219: Feng Qing'er, An Unexpected Joy

After a moment of recovery, Chen Xiao was the first to regain his senses.

What's done is done. Whether he had intended to kill Thunder Venerable or not was no longer important.

"Wind Honored One, is there something you need?"

Chen Xiao descended from the sky in a single step, his gaze sweeping across the entire area. Feng Xian, standing rigidly on the high platform, was particularly conspicuous.

Hearing Chen Xiao's voice, Feng Xian slowly came back to his senses.

Although Chen Xiao's strength had shocked him, it involved a good friend. After a moment of hesitation, Feng Xian cupped his fists and asked as if he didn't know anything, "May I know your esteemed name?"

"Purple Firmament Pavilion, Chen Xiao."

Chen Xiao cupped his fists slightly and replied calmly.

Among the Four Pavilions, Wind Honored One's strength was quite good; he had always been able to suppress the other three Honored Ones.

Most importantly, his character was good. He had searched for so many years for Yao Chen, and upon Yao Chen's return, he had unhesitatingly given up his position as Pavilion Master of Starfall Pavilion. These actions were enough to show his character.

"To be honest, Chen Honored One, I have a close friend named Yao Chen. Just now, I saw you using the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which suddenly reminded me of him. Have you seen him?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao immediately understood what Feng Xian was thinking.

Yao Chen and his disciple had secretly returned to Starfall Pavilion and taken away two Four-Star Dou Zongs. Therefore, it was not a sudden recollection at all; he was clearly suspicious of Chen Xiao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

"No need to beat around the bush. Yao Chen is doing well in the Northwest. In a few more days, his disciple and he should be returning. However, I don't know if they will still have peace after arriving in Central State," Chen Xiao replied with a wry smile.

This Feng Xian was also worried and confused, solely wanting to know if his Bone Spirit Cold Flame was Yao Chen's. He had forgotten the occasion.

By asking so openly, the news about Yao Chen was completely exposed. It could be foreseen that Starfall Pavilion would not be peaceful from now on.

The Soul Hall, the strongest guild on the continent, should be taking action upon receiving the news!

Seeing Chen Xiao's smile, Feng Xian belatedly realized the problem and couldn't help but show a distressed expression, wishing he could take back everything he had just said.

Unfortunately, words spoken are like water poured out; regretting it now was useless.

What needed to be done now was to make amends as quickly as possible.

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Daoist friend. I have important matters to attend to right now. I will find another opportunity to chat with you another day."

Feng Xian cupped his fists. He didn't even bother to greet Sword Venerable and Yellow Springs Venerable. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately tore through space and left.

Originally, Yao Chen and his disciple's quiet return and taking two Dou Zongs to the Northwest was enough, but now it was not.

To be safe, he had to make a personal trip to prevent the Soul Hall from getting there first.

Only after Wind Honored One left did the square erupt in heated discussion.

"Hiss, Thunder Venerable is truly dead!"

"Purple Firmament Pavilion, Chen Xiao!"

"From now on, this will be the new Four Pavilions."

"The disciples and elders of Wind and Lightning Pavilion must hate the Hong Family of Tian Bei City to death right now. If Hong Chen hadn't caused trouble, Thunder Venerable wouldn't have died. Now, even the fate of these disciples and elders is in someone else's hands."

As these onlookers said, the atmosphere in the area where the many disciples and elders of Wind and Lightning Pavilion were located was terrifyingly heavy.

Thunder Venerable was dead, and their lives were entirely in Chen Xiao's hands.

The torment of waiting for someone else to pass judgment on their fate was unimaginable.

As for resisting...

That was a fantasy; it would only lead to a quicker death and achieve nothing else.

What they didn't know was that Chen Xiao was also troubled by this matter.

Before today, his estimated outcome was to have a fight with Thunder Venerable, practice his skills, and then drive away Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, taking their place. It was that simple.

That was why he hadn't bothered to deal with Fei Tian and Yang Lei, because figures of that level were insignificant.

He never expected that Thunder Venerable wouldn't withstand that blow and would perish on the spot.

With this outcome, dealing with Wind and Lightning Pavilion would require a different approach.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated. His icy gaze fell upon the elders of Wind and Lightning Pavilion and the other three Pavilion Masters.

"Space, crush!"

As Chen Xiao's light shout fell, the space in this area immediately fluctuated violently. The space where the Wind and Lightning Pavilion higher-ups were located on the high platform also twisted rapidly, and even spatial wrinkles faintly appeared.

"Crack!"

As soon as the spatial wrinkles appeared, that space directly showed a black rift, and the bodies of the Wind and Lightning Pavilion higher-ups were brutally twisted and broken by the distorted space, then swallowed into the black rift, leaving only storage rings floating in mid-air.

From beginning to end, this group of Dou Zong experts, who could dominate one side in Tian Bei, didn't even let out a single scream!

Seeing this scene, the disciples of Wind and Lightning Pavilion all turned pale, and the unrelated crowds in the square also felt a chill in their hearts.

Dou Zun experts were truly terrifying!

"Wind and Lightning Pavilion is hereby removed. All disciples, disband on the spot. My Purple Firmament Pavilion will be located at Qifeng Mountain. In half a year, we will officially begin recruiting disciples and elders. Anyone interested can come and participate in the assessment."

Chen Xiao raised his hand and pulled over all the storage rings, announcing expressionlessly.

In a world like the Dou Qi Continent, joining a faction also carried risks.

One prospered together, and one suffered together.

To bear the glory, one must also bear the disaster!

Therefore, seeing Chen Xiao deal with Wind and Lightning Pavilion, Sword Venerable and Yellow Springs Venerable did not speak.

Even those disciples of Wind and Lightning Pavilion had mentally prepared themselves to be casually eliminated.

It was just that they hadn't expected Chen Xiao to only eliminate the Dou Zong level higher-ups and have no interest in the remaining disciples.

"Thank you, Honored One!"

"Thank you, Honored One!"

"May I ask, Honored One, can we come to participate in the disciple assessment in half a year?"

One by one, the disciples of Wind and Lightning Pavilion felt as if they had received a great pardon. After bowing, they rushed towards the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

There were also a few individuals with active minds who were already considering their future whereabouts.

The Purple Firmament Pavilion, newly established in Central State, was a good choice.

"Anyone who meets the requirements is welcome."

To this, Chen Xiao only gave a general answer.

But personally watching Wind and Lightning Pavilion fall apart, he already had an answer in his heart.

Even for sect forces, recruiting disciples required strictness, not only in talent but also in character and age.

This approach might increase many investments, but when these disciples grew up, their cohesion and loyalty would be stronger!

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't need to worry about the more specific details. When Hai Bo Dong arrived in Central State, he just needed to mention it to Hai Bo Dong, and Ice Emperor would handle it properly.

As these disciples of Wind and Lightning Pavilion left, the square suddenly became much emptier.

And because of their departure, the only Wind and Lightning Pavilion disciple who remained became exceptionally conspicuous.

"Who is that? Why isn't she leaving?"

"Brother Bai, you don't even know her? Are you even from Central State?"

"Uh, my clan has special circumstances, and our information is blocked."

"Alright, then let me tell you. Her identity is not simple. Her name is Feng Qing'er. She is a proud figure among the younger generation of the original Four Pavilions, known as Miss Feng. At the same time, she is also from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, and the recently deceased Thunder Venerable was her teacher!"

Looking at the woman standing alone in the field, the crowd immediately began to whisper.

Chen Xiao had actually noticed Feng Qing'er long ago.

After all, among the disciples of Wind and Lightning Pavilion, she was the only one not wearing the uniform silver robes.

Looking over, this woman was wearing a colorful skirt, subtly exuding an undeniable noble aura.

Her cheeks were slightly thin, but her appearance was outstanding. Her perfect oval face, paired with her purplish-brown gemstone eyes, made Feng Qing'er look like a princess from some empire, beautiful and sacred, seeming somewhat out of place in the current crowded scene.

However, the only slight imperfection was that amidst her sacredness, there seemed to be a hint of aloofness that kept people at a distance, making her feel unapproachable.

At this moment, all other disciples of Wind and Lightning Pavilion had left, but only Feng Qing'er remained motionless, staring at Chen Xiao with her purplish-brown eyes, completely fearless.

Even though she was only at the Peak Dou Huang, and there was a gap of more than ten small realms between them, she showed no fear in the face of a Dou Zun expert.

Of course, it wasn't that she truly courted death.

The reason for this was that behind her was the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, second only to the Void Ancient Dragon!

In front of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, factions like the Four Pavilions were insignificant.

Chen Xiao's gaze swept over Feng Qing'er, and information about the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan flashed through his mind.

Due to his relationship with Zi Yan, it was almost a certainty that he would become an adversary of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan. Therefore, whether he offended them or not was essentially irrelevant.

Moreover, Feng Qing'er's current status within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan was not particularly high.

"You're not leaving?"

Without answering Chen Xiao's question, Feng Qing'er stood tall and straight like a proud phoenix, and a strange black flame slowly emanated from her body.

Just as everyone was shocked, thinking she was overestimating her abilities and seeking death, they saw Feng Qing'er frown, and the black flame retracted into her body.

"Thank you, Honored One, we... will meet again!"

Feng Qing'er cupped her fists slightly and uttered an ambiguous sentence.

Others might not understand her meaning, but Chen Xiao knew the reason behind it.

He had obtained a Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse. After processing it, the magic core had been used, the vital blood was given to Zi Yan as a snack, and the claws and teeth were used to forge weapons for Zi Yan. Only a pair of Heavenly Demon Phoenix wings remained with him.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan seemed to have some secret methods to sense these things. Feng Qing'er must have sensed something just now, which was why she used her abilities. Although she didn't summon the wings, she couldn't completely dispel the suspicion.

Her words now clearly indicated that she would continue to probe in the future.

Chen Xiao's gaze narrowed. Just as he was considering whether Feng Qing'er was worth keeping, a strange and familiar laugh suddenly entered his ears.

"Hehehe, I don't think you'll have a chance to meet again. Today, I'm going to eat you!"

As the sinister laughter fell, the space beside Chen Xiao was suddenly torn open, revealing a spatial passage.

The next moment, a seductive figure stepped out from it!

Her figure was proud and curvaceous, her pretty face exquisitely beautiful. With a malicious smile, she looked exceptionally alluring.

From this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared, Feng Qing'er felt a sense of fatal crisis, as if she had encountered her destined natural enemy. Reason told her that hesitating for a second might mean death!

Under everyone's gaze, Feng Qing'er dared not hesitate any longer. A pair of brilliant wings suddenly unfolded from behind her. She didn't even bother with her mount, the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane parked at Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, and fled towards the distant horizon at full speed without looking back.

Of course, speed was relative.

The so-called extreme speed was actually not much in the eyes of a Dou Zun expert.

Chen Xiao's body moved slightly, but he was stopped by the woman beside him.

"Forget it, let her go. We are Dou Zun experts, and it's not right to bully the weak. After she knows about your relationship with our clan, she definitely won't dare to do anything."

She then transmitted a message, "Just scare her a little. The situation on Dragon Island isn't great."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao did not insist.

He had no interest in Feng Qing'er in the first place.

On the other hand, the woman beside him considering this made Chen Xiao somewhat surprised.

It seemed that her temperament had indeed grown a lot during this time.

With a look of surprise, Chen Xiao sized her up.

To his surprise, not only was the girl not shy, but she also held her head high and chest out, looking smug.

Alright, it's hard to change one's nature!

It's the same old recipe, the same old taste!

Even after years apart, there was still no sense of distance.

"Hehehe? Who taught you to laugh like that?" Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile when he recalled the scene of her appearance.

Undoubtedly, the only one who could be so casual in front of Chen Xiao was Zi Yan.

Chen Xiao hadn't expected to see her again so soon.

The appearance of this Big Dragon Person was purely an unexpected joy.

"Oh, that's not important. Hurry up and send these people away, and then we'll go ransack their homes!"

Big Zi Yan waved her hand and urged, looking like she had been cooped up for too long.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, signaling her to be patient, and then turned his gaze to the high platform, cupping his fists. "Sword Venerable, Yellow Springs Venerable, today Purple Firmament Pavilion is newly established, and there are too many trivial matters..."

Before Chen Xiao could finish, the two of them had already gotten up and returned the greeting with smiles.

Yellow Springs Venerable was one thing, but even the taciturn Sword Venerable had a smile on his face.

"Daoist friend, you don't need to say more. We understand. After Purple Firmament Pavilion is completed, we will visit again. We will take our leave for today."

"Thank you!"

After watching the two supporting Venerables leave, Chen Xiao turned his attention back to the scene.

"Han Xue, you first take people to clean up Qifeng Mountain. We'll plan the specific renovations when we get back!"

"Yes!"

All the members of the Han Family stood up in unison, bowed, and accepted this pleasant task under envious gazes.

Seeing that Chen Xiao had already started seeing off guests, the other onlookers also got up.

Some left directly, while others bowed respectfully, regardless of whether Chen Xiao saw them or not.

"Brother Bai, let's go, let's go. The Honored One doesn't care about these superficial things."

In less than fifteen minutes, the crowd in the square had almost completely dispersed, leaving only the Han Family of Tian Bei City, who began to busily work in an orderly fashion.

Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction. With a flick of his finger, a puppet landed on the square, and he took out Heavenly Flame Honored One's storage ring, letting it take the puppet to first search and seize the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion.

After completing this, Chen Xiao exchanged a glance with Zi Yan, and their figures flickered, disappearing from the spot.
