Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 291: Chapter 290: The Investigation of the Super Sect

The God-Slaying Pavilion and the Flowing Snow Sect had already harbored grudges against each other, and even if Guan Quan were to let bygones be bygones, everyone in the Flowing Snow Sect felt that Su Han would certainly not let things go.

The Sect of True Martial Arts had been annihilated, which fully proved God-Slaying Pavilion’s strength was capable of contending with the Flowing Snow Sect.

Moreover, the God-Slaying Pavilion already had the Cold Cloud Sect as an ally, and before, Su Han had gone to the Palace of the Divine Maiden, likely already drawing them to his side.

Compared to the God-Slaying Pavilion, the Palace of the Divine Maiden probably most wished to see the Flowing Snow Sect disappear into smoke and clouds.

Taking all this into account, Guan Quan knew in his heart that a battle between the two great sects was inevitable.

And at this moment, it was the last chance to eliminate the God-Slaying Pavilion!

...

As long as the God-Slaying Pavilion fell, with only Su Han remaining, the Flowing Snow Sect had nothing to fear.

“Sect Master, now is the best opportunity to eliminate the God-Slaying Pavilion because, in not too long, those super sects will probably descend, and by then, no matter whether that ‘Liang Shaohui’ is Su Baliu or not, it seems to me the God-Slaying Pavilion won’t have any good fruit to reap. Just a slight move of a finger from the super sects is enough to cause the God-Slaying Pavilion serious injury, and for our Flowing Snow Sect to eliminate them, it’ll be all the simpler!” Lii Sheng said excitedly.

“If that Su Baliu isn’t that Liang Shaohui, and we take this opportunity to destroy the God-Slaying Pavilion… will Su Baliu become enraged?” an elder spoke up.

This person was seated beside Lii Sheng, none other than Yang Yi, the fourth elder of the Flowing Snow Sect.

“Su Baliu enraged?”

Lii Sheng looked at Yang Yi and laughed: “Elder Yang, I think as you’ve aged, your mind is getting cloudy too. Even if Su Baliu does become enraged, so what? Without the support of the God-Slaying Pavilion, even if he is formidable, can he turn the heavens upside down? Our entire Flowing Snow Sect can’t compare to him alone, can it?”

“Elder Lii has misunderstood.”

Yang Yi said: “What I mean is, if we want to eliminate the God-Slaying Pavilion, we must also kill Su Baliu. Su Baliu’s talent is truly too strong, and his hidden strength is too terrifying. He has entered the Gate of Deer Chasing this time, and once he comes out, his cultivation base will surely have improved further. If we don’t kill him, he will ultimately be a thorn in the side of the Flowing Snow Sect.”

“You mean…” Lii Sheng frowned.

“What I mean is that everyone in the God-Slaying Pavilion regards Su Baliu as Supreme. In fact, that is exactly the case. With Su Baliu, there is the God-Slaying Pavilion of today. Without Su Baliu, the God-Slaying Pavilion is nothing. It can be said that Su Baliu is the soul of the God-Slaying Pavilion; without killing him, simply eliminating the God-Slaying Pavilion is pointless. As long as Su Baliu is alive, then sooner or later, there will be a second God-Slaying Pavilion, a third one,” said Yang Yi.

Lii Sheng’s brows tightened even more because he knew that what Yang Yi was saying was no mistake.

“You need not worry about this; I will handle it.”

Guan Quan suddenly said: “As long as we can eliminate the God-Slaying Pavilion, I will have the ability to kill Su Baliu.”

“Sect Master is mighty!”

Lii Sheng revealed joy again, quickly offering flattery for fear that because of what Yang Yi said, Guan Quan and the others might not want to wage war against the God-Slaying Pavilion.

“As long as the God-Slaying Pavilion exists for a day, it is like a fishbone stuck in the throat of our Flowing Snow Sect, and given the growth rate of the God-Slaying Pavilion, if we don’t suppress it now, it will soon surpass our Flowing Snow Sect. When that day comes, the Flowing Snow Sect will surely be destroyed!”

Guan Quan’s expression turned cold as he said: “Go check, have the sect masters of the Awe-Inspiring Sect and Seven Swords Palace arrived yet?”

“Awe-Inspiring Sect? Seven Swords Palace?”

Upon hearing these words, everyone was momentarily stunned, especially Lii Sheng, who immediately asked: “Sect Master, do you mean…”

“The God-Slaying Pavilion has the support of the Palace of the Divine Maiden and the Cold Cloud Sect. With just the strength of our Flowing Snow Sect alone, it will be quite difficult to eliminate them!”

Guan Quan smiled and said: “Therefore, when we make our move this time, the people from the Awe-Inspiring Sect and Seven Swords Palace will also lend a hand.”

“Sect Master is both wise and brave, I admire you greatly!”

Lii Sheng almost laughed out loud; he had wanted to discuss this with Guan Quan before, but it turned out Guan Quan had it all planned.

“As the Sect Master of the Flowing Snow Sect, I naturally have to consider everything thoroughly,” Guan Quan said.

“I’ll go check it out right away.”

With these words, Li Sheng hurriedly trotted out of the council hall.

“This old bastard, is he dead set on annihilating the God-Slaying Pavilion?” Peng Lei said, watching Li Sheng’s retreating figure.

Knowing that the Awe-Inspiring Sect and Seven Swords Palace would help, everyone’s hearts also eased.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s him. The God-Slaying Pavilion has always been a thorn in our sect’s throat. A battle between our two sects was inevitable sooner or later. Us striking first, we can only say that we’ve seized the initiative,” Guan Quan said.

…

In Yuanshan County, at the God-Slaying Pavilion’s sect residence.

Within the teleportation formation, figure after figure stepped out.

There were young people, and there were elders. Their faces were pale, their bodies covered in blood, and some even had severe injuries, with arms or legs severed, as if they had just undergone a fierce battle.

These people were all from the Xiao Family.

“Patriarch Xiao, what happened…”

Liuyun happened to pass by this place and quickly approached upon seeing these people arrive.

“Quick, call your Deputy Pavilion Master and both Yuhui and Yuran over.”

Xiao Hengshan’s expression was grim, but he was not injured.

“Go quickly,” Liuyun immediately ordered someone.

Soon, Su Yunming and others ran out.

“Father!”

Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran’s figures flickered, appearing beside Xiao Hengshan, examining him from head to toe. Seeing that Xiao Hengshan was unharmed, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Patriarch Xiao, what happened?” Su Yunming asked.

As he spoke, he also instructed God-Slaying Pavilion’s people to bring over pills for the Xiao Family members to take.

“The God-Slaying Pavilion might be facing a huge disaster!”

Xiao Hengshan looked at the bloodstains on the many Xiao Family disciples behind him and said through clenched teeth, “People from a super sect went to the Xiao Family, claiming they were there to investigate something about Liang Shaohui. Those we sent to protect the teleportation formation… have all been killed.”

“What?!”

Su Yunming’s face suddenly darkened, and both Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran’s brows furrowed tightly.

“Wasn’t Liang Shaohui dead? Does he have some connection with the super sect?” Su Yunming said.

“I don’t know about that. However, it’s not just one super sect that went to the Xiao Family. Giant Island, Sword Immortal Tomb, Sect of the Battle God, and Jade Void Palace—all have gone there,” Xiao Hengshan said, still somewhat frightened. “I really don’t know what happened to stir up so many super sects to appear. If they had come while I was in seclusion, perhaps by now…”

“Father!”

Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran both turned pale.

They understood what Xiao Hengshan meant. If he hadn’t been in seclusion at that time, he would have been the first to face the brunt, and it was very likely that he would have been killed outright.
