Chapter 898

“It seems that the situation is under control . ”

Zhou Yuan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief . He then smiled and received Yi Qiushui’s report on the Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion .

It had been a huge operation this time . He might appear ruthless, but the truth was that he was still rather worried about how it would turn out . If there was too much objection or if the matter was escalated too far, it would most certainly cause problems for him . After all, the Heavenly Spirit Sect was currently quite unhappy with him .

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur . With his interference, Lu Xiao could no longer unify the Fire Pavilion, let alone pose any threat towards the chief pavilion master .

By the side, Yi Qiushui faintly nodded . Soon after, she asked, puzzled, “But there was no movement from Lu Xiao this time . Otherwise, our plan would not have gone so smoothly . Could he have been beaten scared by you?”

Zhou Yuan chuckled and said, “Lu Xiao is no cowardly weakling . ”

He already had a faint inkling . The reason why Lu Xiao neither supported nor opposed him was likely because he had ultimately dissipated the nine-headed python bloodline in Lu Xiao’s body .

The nine-headed python bloodline had already merged with Lu Xiao’s body and would affect Lu Xiao’s mind in the future . In the worst-case scenario, Lu Xiao would become a mindless snake demon .

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan’s dragon resentment qi was a greater existence than the nine-headed python bloodline . Hence, although Lu Xiao had been seriously injured, he had found fortune in disaster and was saved from the aftereffects of the nine-headed python bloodline .

From a certain point of view, this was a huge debt .

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Xiao to express his grat.i.tude to Zhou Yuan . Hence, he chose to neither support nor oppose Zhou Yuan’s plan .

If not for this, it would have been much more difficult for Zhou Yuan to divide the Fire Pavilion . After all, Lu Xiao’s years of influence in the Fire Pavilion would not be wiped away by a single loss .

“Qiushui, I’ll be troubling you to keep an eye on the four pavilions . ” Zhou Yuan rose to his feet as he displayed a fawning smile to Yi Qiushui .

The first thing he did as chief pavilion master was to transfer Yi Qiushui from the Wind Pavilion to his side . After all, a chief pavilion master had far more work than a wind pavilion master . Without Yi Qiushui’s aid, his head would burst from being overwhelmed .

From his appearance, Yi Qiushui knew that he wanted to slack off again . Hence, she unhappily said, “What are you up to now?”

Zhou Yuan’s face turned bitter as he said, “Wasn’t I permitted to receive a little Saint technique from the Thousand Technique Hall? I was too busy for the past few days, but now that there’s finally some peace in the four pavilions, I should pay the place a quick visit . ”

Since his reason was acceptable, Yi Qiushui could not find any fault with him . She could only snort softly and let him off this time .

Zhou Yuan hurriedly fled the room . Genesis Qi surged out, and his figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that swiftly flew towards the Thousand Technique Hall .

. . .

The Thousand Technique Hall was located in the core district of the Tianyuan Utopia . It was an important place that ordinary people were not allowed to approach .

However, with the token of authority given to him by Chi Jing, Zhou Yuan successfully arrived in front of the Thousand Technique Hall although patrolling guards had stopped him twice .

The only structure on the island was an enormous hall . An ancient melody seemed to echo within its walls, and no one could tell how long the hall had stood here .

Zhou Yuan landed on the platform and swept a glance at his surroundings, only for his heart to s.h.i.+ver slightly . He had sensed several extremely terrifying Genesis Rune boundaries embedded in the land and air around him . Even a Nascent Source stage expert would be trapped if caught .

“These boundaries were personally set up by our master . ”
