Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 209: Chapter 207: Myriad Treasures Pavilion Agrees (Fourth Update!)

“All this, it’s all because of you, you bastard!”

Although Peng Lei was cursing in anger, after slapping Lii Sheng, he felt somewhat relieved.

In reality, his fury wasn’t entirely directed at Lii Sheng. A large part of it stemmed from his having to kowtow to Shen Li, who simply wouldn’t be swayed by any means.

Just what was Peng Lei’s status?

When others saw him, they all had to treat him with the utmost respect. When had he ever needed to ingratiate himself with anyone?

What happened today made Peng Lei feel utterly humiliated!

“Sect Master, didn’t I tell you?”

A look of hatred flashed across Lii Sheng’s face, “You don’t wish to oppose God-Slaying Pavilion, but they still come to trouble us. In my opinion, why not directly send our disciples to surround and annihilate God-Slaying Pavilion?”

Guan Quan was taken aback, looking at Lii Sheng in disbelief.

Was this guy… really not right in the head?

He had already made the pros and cons crystal clear to him previously, and now he’s talking about attacking God-Slaying Pavilion?

Could it be that the slap from Peng Lei had knocked him silly?

“What did you say?!”

Peng Lei reacted even more directly, his figure flashing again, appearing in front of Lii Sheng, slapping him repeatedly without count.

In the end, Lii Sheng’s aged face was completely swollen like a pig’s head before Peng Lei finally stopped.

“Damn it, you are simply an idiot!”

Peng Lei roared while grabbing Lii Sheng’s ear: “Do you think I have not lost enough disciples from Flowing Snow Sect? Do you think our sect has not been humiliated enough? Tell me, what makes you think you can annihilate God-Slaying Pavilion, what gives you the right?!”

Lii Sheng’s mouth was tightly shut; he was truly frightened.

If it had been any other elder, Lii Sheng would not have endured like this, but Peng Lei was at the Dragon God Realm; the gap in cultivation base made Lii Sheng not even think of resisting.

“We can’t touch God-Slaying Pavilion,”

Guan Quan shook his head and said to Lii Sheng, “I’ve already explained everything to you very clearly, but you seem unable to listen. Once we move against God-Slaying Pavilion, Palace of the Divine Maiden and Cold Cloud Sect will attack us en masse. With the current strength of Flowing Snow Sect, we’re not at the level where we can withstand two Eighth-Rank Sects. Do you understand?”

“Subordinate understands,” Lii Sheng took a deep breath.

“You may withdraw. Take this vial of pills; it will alleviate your injuries and can also help increase your cultivation base a bit.”

Guan Quan gave Lii Sheng another vial of pills.

Clearly, there was an element of appeasement in these pills; Lii Sheng, having been slapped around by Peng Lei, must be harboring anger. Should this provoke thoughts of defection from the sect, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

“And you, be more level-headed in handling matters in the future.”

Guan Quan glanced at Peng Lei and said, “No matter what, he is still one of the Seven Great Elders. If word of this gets out, how is he supposed to show his face and stay within the sect?”

“If he wasn’t an elder, I would’ve wanted to slap him to death!”

Peng Lei cursed: “Yes, the disciples in our sect are arrogant, but Lii Sheng is completely out of his depth. God-Slaying Pavilion just destroyed Sect of True Martial Arts, displaying their strength for all to see. And this idiot still dares to provoke them; I really wonder if his head was kicked by a donkey!”

“Not by a donkey, but by you,” Guan Quan shook his head and replied.

“Hmph!”

Peng Lei snorted coldly and fell silent.

“Notify the disciples of Flowing Snow Sect and the Ninth-Rate sects under our banner, to lay low, and be extra careful in their actions for the time being. As for that spirit stone vein, let them have it. After all, we have collected one billion Gold Coins. Though somewhat of a loss, we’re not at the point of losing capital. If necessary, we’ll just search for another one,” Guan Quan said.

“Alright.”

Peng Lei nodded and left.

Guan Quan then picked up the book again, reading with great interest. Sometimes, when he encountered an engrossing part, a smile would appear on his face.

It seemed as if the two instances where the God-Slaying Pavilion had killed over two thousand disciples did not weigh on his mind at all.

…

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another four months had gone by.

The people of the Flowing Snow Sect never showed up at the spirit stone vein again, as if they had swallowed their grievance.

Even Su Han could not help but admire Guan Quan’s temperament. Had it been another Sect Master from an Eighth-Rate Sect, they wouldn’t have been able to endure such a slap in the face.

However, it was best that the Flowing Snow Sect did not cause trouble. For the time being, the God-Slaying Pavilion would not hassle them either.

During this period, Su Han instructed Lian Yuze to swiftly expand the territory of the God-Slaying Pavilion, and if they discovered any resource-rich lands, they were to occupy them without delay.

The area occupied by the Sect’s residence was actually not large, but every sect would have a district under its jurisdiction.

For the God-Slaying Pavilion, that included everything within several hundred miles.

Although there was no written regulation or land deed, it was a common understanding.

But the expansion of the God-Slaying Pavilion was not limited to this few hundred mile territory.

Many disciples scattered into the surrounding areas, first searching within a thousand miles, and then expanding further. Apart from the territories occupied by the Cold Cloud Sect and the Lingluo Sect, they had nearly scoured the entire Yunyang County City.

The results were extremely pleasing—they discovered two more spirit stone veins and five gold mines.

However, the reserves of these veins were not substantial; otherwise, other sects would have discovered them long ago.

Of course, it was better than nothing.

As for the Demon Crystal Stone veins, not a single one was found, which disappointed Su Han.

The Yunyang County City covered nearly a million kilometers, and such a large area contained not a single Demon Crystal Stone vein.

Su Han had originally been very hopeful, considering that the Dragon Martial Continent was rich in Magic Elements, and logically, there should have been many Demon Crystal Stone veins.

…

“Master Su, in one more month, the Gate of Deer Chasing will open,” said Yun Qianqian, lounging lazily, her slender and charming body seemed to radiate a hazy glow.

“Mm.”

Su Han nodded. “How many people are participating?”

“I’m not sure, but it will definitely be a lot.”

Yun Qianqian shook her head. In nearly a year’s time, her cultivation base had reached the Peak of the Dragon Pill Realm.

Yun Qianqian’s talent had always been quite extraordinary, ranking her among the top geniuses in the Dragon Martial Continent. With the frightening resources of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion supporting her, reaching this level was not surprising.

“You didn’t come to see me today just to talk about the Gate of Deer Chasing, did you?” Su Han asked with a smile.

“Ah…”

Yun Qianqian sighed and gently massaged her temples with her delicate hand.

“After much persuasion from me, the higher-ups in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion have agreed to your demand. In the future, the profits from the Teleportation Formation will be split fifty-fifty with you,” said Yun Qianqian. “But you need to understand, we’re talking profits, meaning that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has to recoup its initial investment before you get your share.”
