“Now… they’re all part of the Thousand Autumn Valley?”
As soon as Feng Xia said this, everyone in the Thousand Autumn Hall was stunned.
In fact, because Feng Xia’s words were too impactful, the hall was silent for more than ten breaths before the Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan reacted first.
“Sect-Sect Master! Do you mean… you want to annex other sects?”
“How is this annexation?”
Feng Xia immediately slammed the table and shook his head righteously. “The Five Elements Sect has repeatedly invaded my Thousand Autumn Valley. Now that it has been defeated, what’s wrong with our sect reaping the spoils of war as the victorious party?”
“If anyone from the Five Element Sect has any objections, you can ask their Sect Master to come and look for me!”
“… Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!”
The Fifth Elder, who was drinking tea, coughed violently and almost choked until his vital energy went berserk.
Ask the Five Elements Sect Master to look for Feng Xia?
He is probably about to reach the end of the road to the netherworld. Why would he still come to you even if he has any objections?
For the first time, the Fifth Elder, practitioner Qingxu, realized that this new Sect Master, who had been in the Thousand Autumn Valley for less than a month, not only had a strange style of doing things but he could also say strange words that could anger people to death!
No…
If the Five Elements Sect Master could hear this, he might even become angry enough to raise himself from the dead.
“Forget it, I can’t keep up with the thoughts of this Sect Master… I’m getting old…”
Practitioner Qingxu held the teacup in his hand and silently took a sip.
“To put it simply, we’ll take over the Five Elements Sect’s territory first. The Thousand Autumn Valley will temporarily move there. After the situation of the ancient street is clearer, we’ll decide if this area should be developed or sealed up.”
Very quickly, Feng Xia finalized the initial plan.
At this moment, the Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan suddenly raised a question. “Sect Master, your cultivation isn’t at its peak yet and the Five Elements Sect should have other Dao Platform Realm cultivators. If the Thousand Autumn Valley takes over forcibly, there might be considerable damage.”
This was also the reason why the imperial court had focused all their attention on the old Sword King.
Due to the constant suppression of external forces and King Zhennan’s previous sneak attack, no one in the Thousand Autumn Valley managed to reach the Dao Platform Realm except for the old Sword King!
Lei Shao had once ascended to that realm, but not long after, he was severely injured by King Zhennan. His internal injuries had yet to recover till date, and it was even difficult for his cultivation to recover to its peak.
Even though he had the Sword-Heart Integration and could display the battle prowess of the Dao Platform Realm in a short period of time, this power was extremely unstable. If he was not careful, he would fall from that level.
“I’ve already considered this matter.”
After Liu Chuanyuan spoke, Feng Xia seemed to have expected this. He only smiled faintly and waved his hand towards the outside of the hall. “Come in.”
Immediately, a figure pushed open the door and walked in.
The moment they saw that person’s face, everyone was dumbfounded again.
The Fifth Elder silently straightened his teacup and raised his hand to release a trace of steam. He completely steamed the spilled tea on the table until it evaporated and then steamed his clothes. Only then did he calmly spit out a few words.
“Five… Five Elements Sect Master?”
“How is that possible? You clearly already—”
“Could it be that the Five Elements Sect Master did not die in the previous battle and everything was just a diversion?”
The other elders were also shocked.
At this moment, the person who just walked into the Thousand Autumn Hall was the Five Elements Sect Master!
Was the living not dead, or was the dead resurrected?
“Ahem, everyone, calm down. This is not the Five Elements Sect Master.” Feng Xia coughed just in time, causing everyone’s attention to turn back to him. “This is just a special illusion technique. It’s equivalent to a special effect. The Five Elements Sect Master has long been executed. I won’t joke about such a matter.”
“Illusion?”
“But this illusion is too real!”
From his appearance to his temperament, from his clothes to his demeanor, he was exactly the same as the Five Elements Sect Master in their memories!
This was because this fellow was the infamous Hundred Nether Sect’s ever-changing demoness…
The corners of Feng Xia’s mouth curled up into a smile. He did not reveal Yan Wuyou’s identity. Instead, he continued, “Due to the direct order to keep it a secret, the Five Elements Sect should not be aware of the death of the Five Elements Sect Master. Once she returns to the Five Elements Sect, it should be very easy to order them to cooperate with us.”
Liu Chuanyuan could not help but frown. “I wonder… what’s the cultivation level of this fellow practitioner?”
“Cultivation is her shortcoming, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll choose a lucky… cough, let an elder accompany her,” Feng Xia replied with a smile.
“However, even with the companionship of any fellow practitioner here, the Five Elements Sect still…”
“It’s fine. I’ve already considered this.”
Feng Xia did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he raised his hand and wiped the table, then poured out six pills.
In an instant, a rich and strange fragrance slowly spread in the hall.
Immediately, all the elders’ noses were attracted to it. Their eyes revealed shock as they all stood up from their seats and stared at the medicinal pills in disbelief.
“Sect Master, may I ask what kind of elixir this is?!”
“Just by smelling it a few times, my cultivation base… is starting to stir!”
“After I defeated Mo Yuanlong, I obtained an incomplete Dragon Vein Pill from him. If it’s a complete Dragon Vein Pill, as long as I completely refine it, I’ll be able to reach the peak of the Dao Platform Realm.”
A calm smile appeared on Feng Xia’s face. “However, this Dragon Vein Pill is incomplete and its effect is greatly reduced. It’s not of much use to me, so I simply cut it up and made it into what you see.”
He pointed at the six pills on the table.
“Although it can’t allow you to reach the peak of the Dao Platform Realm in one leap, everyone of you is already in the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm. After taking this pill, breaking through to the Dao Platform Realm is naturally not a problem.”
“Even if that’s all… it’s already impressive enough!”
The Second Elder Lu Jing could not help but exclaim, “For the current Thousand Autumn Valley, having six more Dao Platform Realm experts means much more than having one Dao Platform Realm expert at the fifth or sixth level!”
“Sect Master, this Dragon Vein Pill seems so effective. Isn’t there any restriction?” an elder raised his doubts worriedly.
“Of course there are restrictions. If you want to absorb the power of the Dragon Vein Pill, you have to have the royal bloodline or cultivate the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique.”
Feng Xia, who was sitting at the head of the table, spread his hands. He suddenly thought of something and added, “The Eight Dragons Sacred Heart Technique can do the same.”
It turned out that Sect Master still remembered the Eight Dragons Sacred Heart Technique!
We thought you had completely forgotten about this setting!
“Everyone, do you have any other questions? If not…”
Finally, Feng Xia knocked on the table and announced slowly.
“Meeting adjourned!”
