Chapter 301

The martial artists in Tieshan County were panic-stricken, largely evacuating the area around Chang Qing Pavilion, with several even fleeing into the mountains, planning to return only after the conflict had passed.

The current Tieshan County was undoubtedly the most dangerous place. Even Grandmaster martial artists could fall at any time let alone those of them who were merely mid to low-ranked martial artists.

They didn’t even rank as third grade.

Even the slightest aftermath from a battle could obliterate them completely.

Though the county town of Tieshan was a distance from Chang Qing Pavilion, it was nonetheless proximate. The approaching strong powers would doubtless make the town their foothold.

As a result, all the martial artists in the county town temporarily left, seeking refuge from the storm that was brewing.

Even ordinary people were aware that something was wrong and fled the

county town.

In just two or three days, the town had become deserted.

No guests were moving in or out of Tianbao Pavilion, and it had become cold and deserted.

In the highest level of Tianbao Pavilion, a few people sat, unaffected, savoring

their tea.

Among them, two individuals were noticeable by their grey hair, a sign of their many years, while they sipped their tea and gazed at the profile of Chang Qing Pavilion outside the city.

“Such a grand gathering. There hasn’t been such a spectacle since the collapse of the dynasty,” commented one of them with a smile.

“Indeed!”

The other nodded.

“Alchemy, it really is a marvel. Changing the style of martial arts cultivation, changing the landscape of the martial world, it’s only normal that everyone’s after it.”

“What do you think, should Tianbao Pavilion take sole advantage of it, or just sit back and watch the shifting situation?”

The two spoke leisurely, seemingly unaffected by the oppressive forces gathering around them.

“It’s just an Qi Gathering Pill, not enough for Tianbao Pavilion to abandon our principles. Let’s see. The alchemy room of Chang Qing Pavilion, and the method of refining the Qi Gathering Pill, are not the key issues. The person who created the Qi Gathering Pill is the key.”

“Tianbao Pavilion has always valued the gifted ones,” one of them said with a smile.

“That’s right, it would indeed be a waste if someone so gifted didn’t join

Tianbao Pavilion. Thus, even if the Chang Qing Pavilion is divided up, that person will still belong to Tianbao Pavilion,” the other nodded with a laugh. To take a person away, it wasn’t hard for them. Even if all the powerful forces were to gather, if Tianbao Pavilion wishes to protect someone, no one could touch them!

Since everyone wanted the Qi Gathering Pills, they could have them!

Tianbao Pavilion’s vision was not limited to just the Qi Gathering Pills.

In Chang Qing Pavilion, Su Lingxiu was incredibly tense. She hadn’t expected her actions to provoke such a huge backlash, gathering so many formidable forces from the Inner Domain.

The manager of Tianbao Pavilion, with a smiling face, was talking leisurely with Xu Junhe.

“Brother Xu, Chang Qing Pavilion is facing an unfavorable situation. As far as I know, the Great Commanders of Dayue Kingdom’s Heavenly Garment Guards and Heavenly Royal Guards have arrived. They are peak Great Grandmasters commanding three Great Master powerhouses.”

-And also, some of the strong powers revered by the royal family of Dayue Kingdom should have come as well.”

“In addition, the ancestors of all the top forces have all mobilized. Even by a rough estimate, there are over fifty peak Great Grandmasters.”

-Do you know what this means? Since the collapse of the dynasty, there has never been a convergence of so many peak Great Grandmasters.” -Don’t think that fifty is a high number. Since the collapse of the dynasty, the martial world has rested and recuperated for a long time, and the number of accumulated peak Great Grandmasters is not small.”

“It has been tens of thousands of years since the dynasty collapsed. Even if only one peak Great Grandmaster emerged every twenty years, how many do you think there would be?”

“Moreover, how could there be only one peak Great Grandmaster appearing in the entire Inner Domain every twenty years?”

Xu Junhe’s heart trembled as he listened. He knew what the meaning of a peak Great Grandmaster was.

Even if his own son could kill one with a single sword stroke, he would still need fifty strokes, let alone that peak Great Grandmasters weren’t so easily killed when they joined forces?

Defeat one, what about ten?

It was too dangerous!

The only thing that bolstered his spirit was a tremendously powerful predecessor.

“Having fifty peak Great Grandmasters indeed pays our Chang Qing Pavilion a high compliment.”

Xu Junhe said, forcing a laugh.

“Brother Xu, Chang Qing Pavilion will not survive this crisis. Given our relationship, you can consider taking refuge in my Tianbao Pavilion. As long as you come to Tianbao Pavilion, your safety can be guaranteed absolutely.” The manager of Tianbao Pavilion said with a smile.

The implication was clear – let go of Chang Qing Pavilion, abandon the Qi Gathering Pills, and turn them over to the powerful forces.

The core people of Chang Qing Pavilion, primarily the one who developed the Qi Gathering Pill, could join Tianbao Pavilion. As long as they joined Tianbao Pavilion, they would no longer have to worry about danger.

Xu junhe was secretly shocked. The manager of Tianbao Pavilion had signaled an intent that was quite frightening.

No fewer than fifty peak Great Grandmasters were converging, and yet, merely joining Tianbao Pavilion was enough to guarantee their safety, showing how terrifying Tianbao Pavilion’s capabilities were.

“Brother Xu, Tianbao Pavilion has always respected the talented, offering them generous treatment, and never restricting their freedom…

The manager of Tianbao Pavilion continued with his smiling conversation. -We appreciate your kind intentions. Our Chang Qing Pavilion still has a slight foundation and we haven’t reached that point yet. If it really becomes unbearable, we will consider your offer”

Taking care to not make any definitive statement that might incite Tianbao Pavilion to abandon their principles and join in the attack on Chang Qing Pavilion, Xu Junhe said with a laugh.

-If Brother Xu makes a decision, just activate this signal and Tianbao Pavilion will ensure the safety of Brother Xu and the others.”

The manager of Tianbao Pavilion left a signal device. Once activated, a flare would shoot into the sky, signalling the Tianbao Pavilion powers to intervene and save people.

“Thank you!”

Xu Junhe said, bowing slightly.

The manager of Tianbao Pavilion had left, and Xu Junhe, looking serious, hastily entered the inner courtyard of Chang Qing Pavilion..
