Chapter 897 Internal Chaos in the Fire Pavilion (1/2)

It was to no one’s surprise that the outcome of the four pavilions conference caused huge waves in the four pavilions.

Except for a few unhappy Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples, the news overjoyed everyone. No one had expected that Zhou Yuan’s first act as chief pavilion master would be to lower the price of the four mother runes.

By doing so, he had alleviated their origin coin worries from another direction.

Such actions were more convincing than any promises.

As such, the news instantly divided the Fire Pavilion, which was originally the most opposed to Zhou Yuan. Several Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples tried their best to fan the dying embers, but the majority of the Fire Pavilion members met them with cold eyes.

This was especially so for the contenders Zhou Yuan had nominated to challenge for the deputy pavilion master and commander positions.

The contenders were not weak, but the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples had consistently suppressed them and made it hard for them to stand out because the contenders weren’t part of the sect.

Zhou Yuan, however, had now risen to chief pavilion master, breaking Lu Xiao’s suppression and giving them a fair chance to vie with the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples.

Although they knew that this was part of Zhou Yuan’s ploy to divide the Fire Pavilion, they willingly bit onto this dangerous bait. After all, no one would willingly be suppressed by someone weaker.

The four pavilions were a compet.i.tive environment, and one needed to fight for more cultivation resources. In the past, they had been unable to shake the positions of the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples, but it was different now. With the chief pavilion master, Zhou Yuan, opening a path for them, they naturally did not hesitate to follow.

Hence, after a single day, the originally strongest pavilion fell into chaos!

The members Zhou Yuan had nominated challenged the current deputy pavilion masters and commanders one after another. Furthermore, the non–Heavenly Spirit Sect members strongly supported these challenges.

The Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples were after all still the minority in the Fire Pavilion and were far outnumbered by the rest of the members!

Hence, the non–Heavenly Spirit Sect members had stronger momentum!

In less than a day, the Fire Pavilion’s upper echelon began to be replaced.

Out of the seven deputy pavilion masters from the Heavenly Spirit Sect, three lost their positions!

Among the twenty-three Heavenly Spirit Sect commanders, fifteen were replaced!

In a single day, nearly the entire Fire Pavilion was in a celebratory mood. The cheers grew louder with the defeat of every Heavenly Spirit Sect member; so did the support for Zhou Yuan in the Fire Pavilion.

...

The Fire Pavilion, the pavilion master building.

Zuo Ya and Zhu Lian hurriedly found Lu Xiao and anxiously said, “Senior brother Lu Xiao, if you don’t step in, how will our Heavenly Spirit Sect maintain control over the Fire Pavilion?!”

Zuo Ya was both fl.u.s.tered and miserable. She was not the strongest among the seven deputy pavilion masters and had thus been challenged. In the end, she had lost the match and was forced to step down.

This was unacceptable to her!

If it was before, these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would never dare to eye my position!

Pale-faced, Lu Xiao indifferently said, “What do you want me to do? Do you believe they will stop if I ask them to?”
