Chapter 243 (2/2)

”Guardian Qiu and the others were actually defeated? Xiang Shaoyun is really trampling on the honor of the Lightning Kid!”

”Things will become interesting now. The Lightning Alliance will not let this slide. When their experts that are outside on missions return, Xiang Shaoyun will suffer.”

”But how many people in the Lightning Alliance can actually defeat Xiang Shaoyun? I think only the alliance leader and the two vice alliance leaders can be his match.”

”I think this will end soon. No matter how strong Xiang Shaoyun is, Senior Brother Zhao's death will draw Elder He Luo into this.”

...

Xiang Shaoyun had charged straight to Qiu Chonglei's estate and defeated the numerous Lightning Alliance experts. He had also killed Zhao Changshui and frightened Qiu Chonglei so much he shat himself in fear. This news spread like a wildfire in the Cloud Margin Pavilion.

In a certain estate of a high-level elder, He Luo was being informed about the death of his disciple. With a gloomy expression, he asked the overseer making the report and asked, ”Tell me everything that had happened. Do not miss a single detail.”

The overseer then told him everything.

He Luo frowned and said, ”Cripple the disciple who killed Changshui and toss him out of the pavilion. As for that Xiang Shaoyun, hehe. Even if he is a War King, he still needs to die.”

”Lord, he has some sort of relations.h.i.+p with the Zither Empress's disciple,” reminded the overseer after a slight hesitation.

”So long as he is not her lover, everything will be fine. I doubt the Zither Empress will be bothered by something this trivial. Just do as told,” said He Luo with a wave of his hand.

There was indeed a rule that the older generation should not interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. But everything changed now that someone had died.

In a different estate, Xie Sanqian's guard had also heard what Xiang Shaoyun had done. He sneered and muttered, ”Looks like I don't even have to waste the 10,000 spirit crystals anymore.”

In many elder estates, the various elders were being briefed on the same news as well. Unlike He Luo, they did not hold any hostility toward Xiang Shaoyun. But a lot of them became curious about this newcomer.

For any elder, accepting a young man like that as a disciple would be glorious. Furthermore, with a disciple like that, they would have a future King or even a future Emperor under their wings. For them, this had suddenly turned into something extremely important.

Thus, a lot of elders started asking more about Xiang Shaoyun, trying to understand him and to see if he had a master or if he was from some influential clan. In the deepest part of the Cloud Margin Pavilion was a high-level estate. Here, a vice pavilion master resided.

This vice pavilion master's name was Tian Xu. From his looks, he was about 30 years old, still in his robust years. But in truth, he was already over 100 years old. Back in the day, this Tian Xu was also a young genius. He wouldn't have been able to rise to the position of vice pavilion master relying on his own power.

Currently, two people were before this scholarly and smart-looking vice pavilion master. One was Liu Xinji, the other was Zi Changhe. Why was Liu Xinji and Zi Changhe here? That was because Liu Xinji was a follower of this vice pavilion master. As for Zi Changhe, he was naturally here because of Liu Xinji.

”Is this Xiang Shaoyun really a young man from the Martial Hall Palace?” asked Tian Xu curiously with one hand behind his back and the other holding an ancient scripture.
