Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 308: Chapter 307: Return (Seeking Votes for Recommendation!)

“Hmm?”

Upon spotting those Demon Beasts, Chen Li and Tu Qingtian’s brows immediately furrowed.

Guan Quan’s complexion also changed slightly, and he thought to himself, “What a jinx, whatever we talk about comes true!”

He could see clearly that, behind those hundreds of Demon Beasts, a large number of figures were rapidly approaching, and the clothing they wore was that of the Cold Cloud Sect!

“Sect Leader Tu, Palace Master Chen… The two of you are well, I hope?”

...

A chilly voice emanated from the Void, as a figure slowly appeared—it was Ling Qinghai!

By Ling Qinghai’s side, Hee Chong, Lin Tao, and Yunye also emerged, emanating the oppressive aura of the Dragon God Realm.

“Ling Qinghai?”

Chen Li’s brows were deeply furrowed as he snorted coldly, “You dare to show up? It seems you have heard our conversation just now. The God-Slaying Pavilion has offended so many Super Sects, with most of its disciples already wiped out, essentially reduced to an empty shell. Are you willing to offend the Three Great Sects just for such an empty shell?”

“Ling Qinghai, the wise know when to compromise. Do not make a decision you’ll regret,” Tu Qingtian also spoke.

“In my life, what I detest the most is people like you!”

Ling Qinghai spoke, his words filled with extreme suppressed rage.

“I heard that the God-Slaying Pavilion had some friction with the Flowing Snow Sect over a spirit stone vein a while ago. How come I did not see the Flowing Snow Sect make a move against the God-Slaying Pavilion then? Perhaps back then, the Flowing Snow Sect didn’t even dare to let out a fart? And now, with the God-Slaying Pavilion severely weakened, you all come to attack?”

“The God-Slaying Pavilion has brought this upon themselves; they cannot live!”

Guan Quan retorted coldly, “Offending a Super Sect is brave, what else is the God-Slaying Pavilion not capable of? They’re lucky that, at this critical moment, someone is willing to save them. Otherwise, without the Flowing Snow Sect lifting a finger, the God-Slaying Pavilion would have already been wiped out by those Super Sects!”

“And you Ling Sect Master still have the face to accuse us?”

Lii Sheng also spoke, “How come when the Super Sects took action against the God-Slaying Pavilion, we didn’t see you step in? We didn’t see you let out a fart? And now that we’ve come to encircle them, you come to their aid?”

“Spouting nonsense is useless. Leave now, and the Cold Cloud Sect can spare you from our hands,” Ling Qinghai said coldly.

The presence of the Cold Cloud Sect was in fact just for intimidation.

No matter what, the Awe-Inspiring Sect, Seven Swords Palace, and the Flowing Snow Sect were all Eighth-Rank Sects, each of them much more established than the newly-advanced Eighth-Rank Cold Cloud Sect. Ling Qinghai knew full well that the Cold Cloud Sect alone couldn’t stop them.

If he could scare them off, then all the better; they could discuss further when Su Han returned.

If not…

Then they’d have to fight!

“Just with your Cold Cloud Sect?”

Tu Qingtian stepped forward into the Void, and a cloud immediately flew towards this location.

“To be honest, as a newly-promoted Eighth-Rank Sect, the Cold Cloud Sect doesn’t even register in the eyes of my Awe-Inspiring Sect. If you know what’s good for you, take your men and get out of here quickly. If you don’t…” Sect Leader Tu continued, “then today, I might as well take this opportunity to wipe out the Cold Cloud Sect along with it!”

“You’re quite bold!” Ling Qinghai’s expression turned icy.

“That’s exactly how I am. What are you going to do about it?” Tu Qingtian didn’t back down either.

“Tsk tsk, truly worthy of the Awe-Inspiring Sect’s Sect Leader, slaughtering heaven and earth and even the air…”

Just then, a mocking and sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Along with the voice, a child with delicate and handsome features appeared next to Ling Qinghai.

“It’s you?!”

Upon seeing the child, Tu Qingtian and Chen Li frowned once more, while Guan Quan’s face darkened.

They of course recognized the other party—the child was the current Goddess of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, as well as its Helmsman!

Her appearance signified that the Palace of the Divine Maiden had indeed intervened.

“Fellow Sect Masters, are you still having fun kicking someone when they’re down?”

Indeed, following the Goddess, one of the Deputy Palace Masters of the Palace of the Divine Maiden, Jin Yang, also made an appearance, surrounded by thunder, while the might of the Dragon God Realm fully erupted.

“How did you arrive so promptly?” Guan Quan asked in a heavy voice.

“Is this quick? It doesn’t compare to you, does it?”

The Goddess curled her lips contemptuously, “A bunch of brainless things. The Flowing Snow Sect made such a big move, employing over a hundred thousand disciples. Did you think the spies of the Palace of the Divine Maiden were vegetarians?”

Upon hearing these words, Guan Quan’s mouth spasmed viciously, and a hint of sinister darkness appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Anyone with a bit of sense would realize that the Palace of the Divine Maiden and the Flowing Snow Sect had been monitoring each other for so many years, opposing each other for so long. Obviously, every move of the other was closely observed.

This time, the Flowing Snow Sect mobilized more than a hundred thousand disciples to annihilate the God-Slaying Pavilion. With such a large commotion, how could the Palace of the Divine Maiden be unaware?

“You need to think it through properly. The God-Slaying Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. Super Sects have made their move against it, and if you dare to help, it is very likely that you will incur the wrath of the Super Sects!” Guan Quan said.

“No need to use the Super Sects to pressure us. You think only your Flowing Snow Sect received the message? Someone has already stepped in to resolve the grievances between the God-Slaying Pavilion and those Super Sects. Otherwise, there would be no need for you to trouble yourself with leading an attack against the God-Slaying Pavilion again, right?” the Goddess glanced at Guan Quan sidelong.

“Boom!”

Guan Quan repelled Shen Li with a palm strike, his figure left the battlefield, while saying, “Everyone, stop.”

At those words, Peng Lei and Hai Yan flashed away, withdrawing from the fray.

“What’s the matter, not fighting anymore?” The Goddess sneered.

“Retreat!”

Guan Quan snorted coldly, then immediately led the people of the Flowing Snow Sect away.

He knew that today, with both the Flowing Snow Sect and the Palace of the Divine Maiden intervening, it would not end well.

Furthermore, the God-Slaying Pavilion was now in name only, even if they left these people behind, they posed no significant threat to the Flowing Snow Sect.

The reason they took action was merely to seize the opportunity. Seeing that the effort was futile, Guan Quan didn’t want to waste any more time here.

“Farewell, no need to see us off,” the Goddess spoke indifferently.

Since Guan Quan had no intention of starting a fight, both the Palace of the Divine Maiden and the Cold Cloud Sect naturally would not pursue them.

After all, the relationship between the Palace of the Divine Maiden and the God-Slaying Pavilion was ultimately not like that between the Cold Cloud Sect and the God-Slaying Pavilion.

As for the Awe-Inspiring Sect and the Seven Swords Palace, seeing that the Flowing Snow Sect intended to retreat, they too did not hesitate and all departed as well.

Watching the grand departure of a force of over three hundred thousand, both the Goddess and Ling Qinghai secretly let out a sigh of relief.

If Guan Quan had been obstinate and truly started a war, it would have been of no benefit to either of their sects.

With the crisis of the God-Slaying Pavilion resolved, the people of the Cold Cloud Sect and the Palace of the Divine Maiden remained in the area for a moment. Seeing no sign of the Flowing Snow Sect returning, they then left.

“Pavilion Master…”

After sending everyone away, Shen Li looked over the bodies scattered on the ground, then lifted his head to the sky and murmured, “When exactly will you come back?”

No one responded.

Shen Li stood in place a while longer, ultimately he sighed, shook his head, and turned around, planning to clean up the bodies.

“Crack!”

Just as he turned around, the void was suddenly torn apart, and several figures walked out from the rift.

Shen Li abruptly turned around and, the moment he saw that figure in white, his pupils contracted sharply, his body shook violently, and two streams of tears involuntarily flowed down his aged face.

“Pavilion Master!!!”
