The sound of footsteps echoed from the entrance of the tunnel, reverberating throughout the cave. The arrival was one person, and they didn’t attempt to conceal their presence at all.

The more it was so, the more uneasy Yinlou Pavilion’s martial artists became. The first person they thought of was Xu Yan!

If Xu Yan had found this place, he would probably arrive just as brazenly.

A group of Great Grandmasters glanced at each other, each prepared for a fight to the death or to surrender.

If they were allowed to surrender, that is.

A white-robed figure appeared before them, walking from the tunnel into the cave.

It’s not Xu Yan!

However, the martial artists of Yinlou Pavilion didn’t breathe a sigh of relief because of this. The visitor was not one of them and, although he wasn’t Xu Yan, he was still an outsider!

How did he find the Yinlou Pavilion?

A few Great Grandmasters gazed at him. Clad in a white robe, he wore a thin cyan mask that covered his face.

It made him appear as though his face were cyan.

The Cyan-faced Man!

Upon recognizing the visitor, all the martial artists of Yinlou Pavilion’s pupils contracted, revealing a horrified look.

As everyone knows, there are many secret powers in the Inner Domain, with Yinlou Pavilion being one of the most mysterious three.

Among the other two mysterious powers, one of them is even more enigmatic with the strongest power—even Tianbao Pavilion can’t grasp their true depth.

All that is known about this mysterious power is that they all wear cyan masks, covering their faces—like the Cyan-faced Men!

As a result, this secret power was named the Cyan-Faced Man!

Every member of the Cyan-faced Men is a Grandmaster.

All of the Cyan-faced Men who have appeared before were also Grandmasters, and perhaps, those below the Grandmaster level are not allowed to venture outside.

“The Cyan-faced Man?!”

A Great Grandmaster from Yinlou Pavilion asked with a gloomy expression.

The Cyan-faced Man looked at the martial artists of Yinlou Pavilion. His voice was calm and steady, showing no signs of fluctuation. “What is Elder Yin planning to do? What task has he undertaken?”

For a moment, the Yinlou Pavilion’s martial artists looked at each other in dismay. No one answered.

The Great Grandmasters remained silent. After a while, one of them said: “This is the secret of Yinlou Pavilion. How would we know?”

“Don’t you really know?”

The tone of the Cyan-faced Man had turned somewhat gloomy.

“We don’t know.”

The martial artists of Yinlou Pavilion replied in a deep voice.

The Cyan-faced Man looked at a martial artist of Yinlou Pavilion and suddenly raised his hand to grab him.

The martial artist’s expression changed drastically. He was about to explode with the aura of a Grandmaster, but in an instant, his eyes widened in horror, revealing a look of fear.

“Please spare me!”

At this instant, the man, who was about to resist, felt as if a mountain was pressing onto him. His body stiffened instantly, and his Grandmaster’s strength was suppressed!

He had experienced this once before—that was when the Master of Yinlou Pavilion became angry.

The Cyan-faced Man’s strength was comparable to the Master of Yinlou Pavilion!

Thud!

The Cyan-faced Man grabbed the man by his neck and said indifferently: “Do you really not know?”

The rest of the martial artists in Yinlou Pavilion were drenched in cold sweat, their faces pale.

The Grandmaster who was being strangled looked terrified, his lips moving as if he wanted to speak.

The Cyan-faced Man slackened his grip slightly and said, “Speak!”

“We were given one task—to find and capture Su Lingxiu!”

“What’s the purpose of capturing her?”

“We don’t know. We really don’t know!”

Crack!

The Cyan-faced Man squeezed his hand, and the Grandmaster’s neck was crushed, killing him instantly.

The rest of the martial artists in Yinlou Pavilion were horrified, their faces covered in cold sweat.

“Elder Yin is already dead, and the useless ones have no need to live. If you don’t know anything, then I will send you to keep Elder Yin company.”

The Cyan-faced Man’s gaze was cold as he looked at the martial artists of Yinlou Pavilion.

“The Master had the task of capturing Su Lingxiu, but we really don’t know the specific purpose. However, it seems… it seems to be related to the heavenly human.”

A Great Grandmaster from Yinlou Pavilion said, his face covered in cold sweat.

“There might be answers in the Master’s secret room, but we can’t open it!”

Another Great Grandmaster hurriedly added.

Subsequently, a few Great Grandmasters began frantically spilling everything they knew, not daring to hide anything.

However, the other Grandmasters didn’t know much, and their faces turned white with fear.

The Cyan-faced Man listened quietly. Suddenly, a pressure enshrouded the cave.

All the Grandmasters were horror-stricken, feeling as if a mountain was pressing on their bodies, slowing their movements, greatly diminishing their strength, and leaving no chance of escape.

They couldn’t even fight back.

The Cyan-faced Man looked at the Great Grandmasters and said, “Kill them!”

“Yes!”

A few accomplished Great Grandmasters, without the slightest hesitation, instantly attacked the remaining Yinlou Pavilion martial artists, their moves were vicious and ruthless.

One side was overwhelmed by the force and the other side was more powerful to begin with, the battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.

Within moments, everyone other than these accomplished Great Grandmasters, was dead!

At this point, the man with the green face took out a few light green masks – the same as the one he was wearing, but the color was lighter.

“Put them on!”

The accomplished Great Grandmasters, without the slightest hesitation, donned the masks.

“From today on, this place is my legation.”

The man with the green face stated coldly.

“Greetings, my lord!”

The accomplished Great Grandmasters hurriedly bowed in reverence.

Finally, they survived!

With the lord of Yinlou Pavilion dead, joining the man with the green face was indeed a way out!

“Where is the secret chamber?”

The green-faced man enquired.

“My lord, it is right here.”

One accomplished Great Grandmaster fawningly led the green-faced man to the stone wall behind the high tower.

The green-faced man looked over, a hole had been chiselled into the stone wall, and a precious material was forged inside. Unless one knew the method to open it, even an accomplished Great Grandmaster could not forcefully break it open.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on the door of the secret chamber.

Hum!

A terrifying aura surged from the man with the green face, prompting the several Great Grandmasters to step back in horror. They all had a feeling that this green-faced man was somewhat more terrifying than the original lord of Yinlou Pavilion.

The palm of the green-faced man turned blue, pressing it onto the door of the secret chamber, as if a red-hot brand was pressed onto a lump of fat.

With a hissing sound, his hand sank into the door and at some point, the door to the secret chamber began to crack.

Crack!

The door shattered and fell, revealing the small secret chamber inside.

The man with the green face stepped into it. In the small secret chamber, there were only a few small boxes. The jade box in the middle had a pattern on it. “This is it!”

The green-faced man’s eyes flashed with excitement and longing, he stretched out his hand, shakily reaching for the jade box.

Opening the jade box, inside was a scroll. He picked up the scroll and opened it. So excited that his whole body was shaking, he stared at the contents of the scroll.

After a while, he put away the scroll.

“Gate of Lingyu, Su Lingxiu?”

He murmured in a low voice.

Coming out of the secret chamber, he looked at the several Great Grandmasters and sternly asked: “Where is Su Lingxiu, and who killed Elder Yin?”

The few survivors of Yinlou Pavilion, without any hesitation, detailed everything about the lord of Yinlou Pavilion and the summit Great Grandmasters going to Chang Qing Pavilion to arrest Su Lingxiu.

“Chang Qing Pavilion is too terrifying. Dozens of summit Great Grandmasters were killed. Legendary prodigies like Xu Yan and Meng Chong, are both from Chang Qing Pavilion.”

Finally, one person said, his voice trembling slightly.

The green-faced man fell silent.

Both the lord of Yinlou Pavilion and the Demon Lord were lost in Chang Qing Pavilion, which made him somewhat apprehensive.

But instantly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

“I must get my hands on Su Lingxiu. No one can stop me. That person in Chang Qing Pavilion, how could he monopolize the entry opportunity to the Gate of Lingyu?

“The Chang Qing Pavilion and the Dahua martial arts, have been in the limelight too much. It seems that the royal family of the Dayue Kingdom is also ready to do something. It’s about time for guys like me to get in touch.”

The green-faced man thought to himself.

“I have a task for you.”

The green-faced man ordered solemnly.

“Please give your order, my lord!”

The accomplished Great Grandmasters hurriedly paid homage.

“Go visit the forces that once made a move on Chang Qing Pavilion and still have surviving Great Grandmasters. The opportunity for revenge has come, there will naturally be people, to deal with that person in Chang Qing Pavilion…”

The green-faced man ordered solemnly.

“Yes, my lord!”

After giving the order, the green-faced man left with the jade box and the scroll in his hand.

In the royal palace of Dayue Kingdom, the Emperor sat in his study, his face extremely gloomy. He looked at the intelligence about Dahua in his hand, his hand trembling slightly.

Resentment and hatred emerged on his face.

But he also felt a sense of helplessness.

Chang Qing Pavilion was too powerful; the Dayue Kingdom had to yield and compensate in order to protect itself.

“Who’s there?”

Suddenly, from outside the imperial study, the royal grandmaster shouted in a low voice..
