Dongfang Yi sat in the Weapon Pavilion Headquarters anxiously. Unexpectedly, his state of mind, which had gradually become tranquil and serene over the past few years, showed a rare trace of change. He didn't know why, but he subconsciously felt that something special seemed to be happening today.

This was not an illusion, but an intuition of a cultivator.

When it was almost noon, Dongfang Yi could not help but stand up once again and paced back and forth in the room. Although the situation at the several branch stores had been repeatedly confirmed, the bad premonition in his heart did not weaken in the slightest and instead became even more intense.

Suddenly, Dongfang Yi's footsteps suddenly stopped. His eyes stared straight in the direction of the Weapon Pavilion entrance, as if he could break through the barrier between the wall and the defensive array, and look straight ahead.

At the same time, the anxious expression on his face turned extremely strange. There was shock, relief, doubt, and disbelief.

At this time, more than a dozen figures were slowly walking over from outside Weapon Pavilion Headquarters' entrance.

Normally speaking, with the Weapon Pavilion having a monopoly over the Prayer City, it wouldn't be hard to find a line of customers in a dozen or so people, but this line of customers was clearly different, because they weren't as peaceful as the usual customers. On the contrary, they were all shrouded in a layer of faint killing intent!

It was obvious that these people were here to cause trouble!

Strangely, Dongfang Yi did not panic when he saw this scene. Unexpectedly, he smiled, it was a very relaxed smile, and a huge boulder in his heart also fell to the ground.

As someone who was recommended by Xie Yunlei to control Weapon Pavilion, if he couldn't even think of this point, then he was just too useless.

As he calmly took out the Transmission Jade Chip, Dongfang Yi sent two messages over.

One of them was given to Li He, who was at the Prayer City, and the other was given to the few Golden Immortal and late stage Heavenly Immortal experts whom he had painstakingly recruited over the years. Although their strength was not enough to deal with the dozen or so people who had come to provoke them, they were prepared.

After adjusting his robes, Dongfang Yi had a confident smile on his face as he slowly stepped out, his steps calm but steady.

"Dongfang Yi, I believe you should know the reason why we are here today. Tell me your conditions!"

This time, the person who spoke was still the old man who was at the peak of the later stages of the Golden Immortal Realm. The reason why he did not start off and use a oppressing attitude to force Dongfang Yi was because he knew that the reason why his group of ten or so people had the confidence to challenge the might of Weapon Pavilion was not because of him, but because of the interference of a foreign power.

Although he did not know the true purpose of this force, the old man was extremely clear of his own weight. They were merely chess pieces that were used by others to deal with Weapon Pavilion, and not truly powerful ones.

If that force retreated after Yi Yan returned, they would definitely be the target of Weapon Pavilion's first attack, so he had to leave a way out for himself.

Dongfang Yi smiled slightly, and replied with a low and steady voice: "If junior hasn't guessed wrong, Senior should be browsing through the contents of the treasury, right?"

The old man was slightly surprised. He did not expect Dongfang Yi to be able to recognize the person who had always been low-key and never publicly announced his identity.

However, now that they were at the point where they were about to meet, there was no longer a need for him to hide.

Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, he nodded and admitted his identity, "It is indeed this old man, Manager Dong, who has good eyesight!"

Dongfang Yi's expression did not change as he continued to ask: "This junior can roughly guess Senior's purpose for coming here, but, this Weapon Pavilion is not my property, so I'm afraid it will disappoint Senior."

Although Dongfang Yi's words were polite, he had pointed out the two backers behind the Weapon Pavilion: Yi Yan and City Lord's Mansion, and hoped that Sura and the others would retreat after learning of the difficulties.

After all, even though he had been prepared for a long time, once he tore off their relationship, his Weapon Pavilion would suffer a considerable amount of loss, which was something he did not want to see.

However, she did not directly respond to the threat behind Dongfang Yi's words. Instead, she softly sighed and said, "It seems that it is impossible to resolve the matter peacefully. Do it! "

As soon as he gave the order, the dozen or so Golden Immortals behind him who had not spoken since the beginning of the conversation immediately reverted back to their previous silence. When they suddenly made their move, dozens of flying swords shining with cold light flew out, heading straight for the Weapon Pavilion behind Dongfang Yi with a murderous look on their faces.

As the flying swords started to attack, Sang Lan's figure disappeared from where he stood in a flash, and brought along afterimages as he pounced towards Dongfang Yi who was at the opposite side.

He believed that as long as he could eliminate Dongfang Yi, his Weapon Pavilion would collapse.

It was a pity that Dongfang Yi had already been prepared for this. Almost at the same time San-Lan and the rest launched their attacks, the originally calm Weapon Pavilion exploded with a burst of milky white light, and a translucent barrier completely enveloped the enormous Weapon Pavilion.

This defensive formation was personally set up by Yi Yan before he left Fuming Star.

At the same time, Dongfang Yi's figure flew backwards, and before the figure in front of him could pounce, he had already entered into the protection of the formation.

Watching the nearby Dongfang [1] being blocked by a thin membrane, the feeling of being played with rose up in her heart.

He never thought that Dongfang Yi, who he thought had no way of fighting back, would actually already be prepared, yet he thought that he had the absolute advantage, and advised him to surrender like a fool!

But in the several ordinary to almost barren galaxies surrounding the Prayer City, he, who was at the peak of the late stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, actually had the qualifications to be arrogant. Moreover, his many years of pride had also developed a stubborn personality, which was especially unacceptable for him to be teased by a junior of the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

< p > "Attack!" Smash this turtle shell to pieces! I refuse to believe that a dozen or so of us Golden Immortals won't be able to do anything to these mere Celestial Immortals! "

In his fury, he continued to watch from the sidelines even after his attack had been blocked. He immediately gave the order to attack in full force.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the deterrence brought by Yi Yan. Pulling out Dongfang Yi who dared to play with him and ripping him into pieces was the only thing he wanted to do!

Inside the Weapon Pavilion, Dongfang Yi, who had retreated into the defensive array, did not pause at all. In a flash, he arrived in the hall on the third floor and sat down in the middle of the hall with a solemn expression.

Around him, there were also three Golden Immortals and four late stage Heavenly Immortals. These seven had activated their defensive formation the instant they launched their attacks.

Dongfang Yi knew that with the strength of his own people, if he were to fight directly with Sa Lan and the rest, he would not even be able to hold on for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

In actuality, they did not need to fight face to face. As long as they could last until Li He and the others were able to rescue them, it would be enough.

This array that Yi Yan had personally set up was the source of his confidence. Although their strength was far from sufficient to display the full power of the defensive array, it was still possible for them to delay for some time.

Dongfang Yi had enough confidence in this point.

When they arrived at the Weapon Pavilion, within a secret room of the City Lord's Mansion which was not too far away from it, Li He, who was currently meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of surprise flashed past his eyes.

Standing up, Li He walked out of the secret room as he took out the Transmission Jade Chip and sent a message to the other members of the group of elders.

He knew that the other elders would definitely agree to help Weapon Pavilion as well. This was a chance to pull some relations with Weapon Pavilion, and gathering to discuss would just be a formality.

Half an incense stick of time later, including Li He, the four Luo Tian Immortal s, and the eight late stage Daluo Golden Immortal s, a total of thirteen elders had already gathered within the City Lord's Mansion's Great Assembly Hall.

"Elder Li, why have you gathered us all together so urgently?" The Prayer City have been very calm lately, and nothing big seems to have happened? "

When everyone was seated, an early stage Luo Tian Immortal Elder with a full beard first asked casually.

Although everyone was an elder, they all knew that back then, Li He was the one who proposed Yi Yan to become the City Lord of Prayer City. Although Yi Yan had rejected this suggestion, there was no doubt that the person who was closest to Yi Yan among all the elders was still Li He.

Therefore, although Li He's strength could only be considered average amongst these elders, everyone had a faint intention of taking him as their leader.

Li He slightly smiled and did not reply. He only passed his Transmission Jade Chip to the elder who asked the question and let him pass it on to the elder.

< p > "Cheers!" These bastards were really restless! You clearly know that we have the support of Weapon Pavilion and yet you dare to have thoughts on them, you have simply eaten the guts of a bear heart leopard, you really consider yourself as a root! "

After the bearded elder finished reading, he casually gave the Jade Chip to another person, and slapped the table in front of him with his big hands as he scolded.

At this moment, the other elders also understood what had happened.

After being slightly surprised, an old man at the peak of the late stage of Daluo Golden Immortal stroked his long beard and said slowly: "In the message from Eastern Sect Leader, it was very clear, the strongest among them is only at the late stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. The prestige of our City Lord's Mansion cannot be provoked! "

The other elders nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and the decision to send someone to rescue Weapon Pavilion was quickly passed.

Now that he thought about it, the reason these elders were so active, other than wanting to curry favor with Yi Yan and hope to get some benefits from him in terms of cultivation, there was another reason why Dongfang Yi was so good at being human.

In these past few years, even though Yi Yan had deterred them, Dongfang Yi had never neglected the power of the City Lord's Mansion. On the contrary, other than most of the middle ranked Immortal Artifact s that were refined with Weapon Pavilion being sold to the City Lord's Mansion at an extremely low price, there was never a lack of immortal crystals either.

From a certain point of view, the benefits of Weapon Pavilion and Prayer City were already linked together.

After the indignant crowd passed the decision to immediately rescue Weapon Pavilion, the thirteen elders did not stay any longer. Instead, they all stood up and prepared to leave the Great Assembly Hall to arrange for the rescue personnel.

It was at this moment that a calm voice suddenly resounded in the ears of everyone present, "There's no need for everyone to worry about Weapon Pavilion. You should just obediently stay here!"
