Chapter 809 Counterattack (1/2)

Wind Island, in front of a small building.

There was a constant stream of people forming a long queue and a very buzzing and lively atmosphere.

Chen Beifeng stood on the second floor, watching the scene below with a wide smile. He also couldn’t help but marvel at the attractive power of the Mark Capturing Rune. Most likely, nine out of ten people of the Wind Pavilion were currently gathered here.

“Li Jian, you really know how to adapt to circ.u.mstances.” Chen Beifeng t.i.tled his head and looked at a man behind him with a smile.

The man’s complexion was pale, his nose wide, and there was a serious expression on his face. When he heard what Chen Beifeng said, he bowed respectfully and revealed a humble smile. “A good bird knows which tree to choose to live on. The entire Wind Pavilion belongs to the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master, and I just came to report in advance.”

He implied Chen Beifeng would be the future pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion.

Chen Beifeng gave a hearty laugh and pointed to Li Jian. “You know how to talk.”

“Deputy pavilion master Ye Bingling won’t be a match for you. I have tried to advise her, but she is too stubborn.”

Chen Beifeng smiled. “No hurry, she won’t shed a tear until she sees the coffin.”

Chen Beifeng ran his eyes across the long stream of people below and said proudly, “The heart of the Wind Pavilion is now in my hands. No matter what they do now, they can’t win against me.”

Li Jian also nodded in agreement. As long as Chen Beifeng held the Mark Capturing Rune, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage. He knew about the attractive power of the Mark Capturing Rune, which was also why he had decided to abandon Ye Bingling and join Chen Beifeng’s side.

“Actually, it was the new deputy pavilion master who created trouble for you. Otherwise your relations.h.i.+p with deputy pavilion master Ye Bingling wouldn’t have become like this,” Li Jian uttered, a trace of jealousy flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes.

Ever since Zhou Yuan arrived at the Wind Pavilion, Ye Bingling had trusted him to the extreme, which had made Li Jian very uncomfortable. He had even persuaded Ye Bingling to keep away from Zhou Yuan when he angered Chen Beifeng and w.a.n.g Chen, but she had refused to listen and had even tried to protect Zhou Yuan.

Ye Bingling’s reckless behaviour was also one of the reasons for Li Jian’s betrayal. Of course, there was also a man’s jealousy, which outsiders wouldn’t know about.

Chen Beifeng’s eyes turned biting cold when Zhou Yuan was mentioned. “Don’t worry, he’s just a gra.s.shopper. He won’t be jumping for long.”

Feeling the icy coldness in Chen Beifeng’s words, the corners of Li Jian’s mouth curved upwards. He was very happy to see the new deputy pavilion master’s misfortune.

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a commotion, and chaos erupted in the long queue below, and then, some people left hesitantly one after another.

Chen Beifeng wrinkled his brows and beckoned Jin Teng over. “What’s going on?”

Before Jin Teng could speak, there were already some gasps of astonishment below.

“I heard that deputy pavilion master Zhou Yuan has created a Genesis Rune that also has an effect on the wind spirit rune’s Genesis marks, and its effect is 40%!”

“Forty percent?! How is that possible? Wouldn’t that be twice as much as the Mark Capturing Rune?”

“That’s nonsense, isn’t it? n.o.body has been able to reproduce the Mark Capturing Rune in so many years, let alone recreate a Genesis Rune that has an effect superior to the Mark Capturing Rune!”

“I don’t know, but the price is said to be the same as the Mark Capturing Rune!”

“Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling took people with them to sell it by the Wind Lake. It is said that the quant.i.ty isn’t much.”

“Is this for real?”

“Go, go and see first!”

“……”

As the whispering spread, more wind pavilion members who had lined up to purchase Mark Capturing Runes continued to leave in droves. Soon, the small building’s popularity reduced by at least half.

On the second floor, as Chen Beifeng watched more and more people leave, his face darkened, and he immediately mocked, “What is that Zhou Yuan doing? He thinks he can solve the problem by tricking people to the lake?”

He didn’t believe a word those people said!

You created your own Genesis Rune? And the effect is twice as much as the Mark Capturing Rune?! You can only deceive children with that lie. The Mark Capturing Rune is the main reason for the growth of the Fire Pavilion in recent years. The Fire Pavilion made a huge amount of origin coins from the other three pavilions due to the Mark Capturing Rune. There are many people among the three pavilions who are envious of them.

Haven’t many tried to get rid of the suppression of the Mark Capturing Rune over all these years? But did anyone succeed in the end?

Not one of them!

But a new deputy pavilion master, who came to the Wind Pavilion less than one month ago, had said that he created a Genesis Rune that is twice as effective as the Mark Capturing Rune?

Who do you think you can deceive?!

Are all the people stupid? They even believed that?

However, as more and more people below left, a flame of anger began to rise in Chen Beifeng’s heart. He kicked the door and left it shattered in pieces. Perhaps even he himself didn’t realise that his heart was palpitating with the truth he dared not believe.

“Deputy pavilion master, do we need to see what trick Zhou Yuan is playing?” Jin Teng whispered, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with suspicion.
