Cloud Margin Pavilion.

This place was much more desolate compared to the past; the traffic had reduced by more than half. An organization that originally seemed so powerful and mighty now seemed so bleak. They didn't look like an organization trying to advance into a tier-4 organization, but rather a declining tier-3 organization.

Why?

The answer was obvious: Linggu Haonan's group.

Back then, Linggu Haonan's group had appeared and beaten up Lightning Emperor who had just broken through, giving the Cloud Margin Pavilion a hard slap on the face. They had also forced many Cloud Margin Pavilion Emperors to show themselves, yet a large number of their outer disciples had still ended up killed.

If Du Xuanhao the Saber Emperor and Chen Jiayan had not arrived, the Cloud Margin Pavilion would have suffered even more. As a result, fear enveloped the entirety of Cloud Margin Pavilion, and many elders were looking for excuses to receive a mission away from the pavilion.

A lot of overseers and disciples had also quietly withdrawn from the pavilion, returning to where they had come from. They were all terrified that those dreadful experts would suddenly return and eliminate all of them. One could say that the incident had harmed the Cloud Margin Pavilion's very foundation.

If Murong Qing, the previous generation pavilion master, had not subsequently declared that all who had attacked them had been dealt with, they would have lost even more members. As for those who had some sort of relations.h.i.+p with Xiang Shaoyun, different fates had befallen each of them.

Xia Liuhui had previously been accepted as the last disciple of an elder who had been in seclusion for a long time. But after that incident, the elder had expelled him. If Zi Changhe, who had just broken through into the King Realm and was experiencing a growth of status in the pavilion, hadn't given him shelter, he would have been forced to leave the pavilion as well.

As for Lu Xiaoqing, who had been accepted by a previous generation vice pavilion master as a personal disciple, her master had brought her away after the incident, and both of them had been missing ever since then.

Even Gong Qinyin only found out about that after they were gone. She wanted to seek her master's help to look for Lu Xiaoqing, but since Hua Cheng was recuperating in seclusion, she was left helpless.

Recently, there was news that Lightning Emperor was slowly recovering. Those close to his faction were all busy thinking of ways to flatter him. One of them was an elder called Nan Huai, and he had just arrived at Zi Changhe's estate with more than 10 people looking for trouble.

This was an elder who had always been affiliated with the Lightning Emperor. With a cultivation level of fourth-stage Skysoar Realm, he wasn't anything special among the various elders. But after the Linggu Haonan incident, the situation within the pavilion had changed, and his status had grown considerably.

Zi Changhe went outside his estate and asked, ”Elder Nan Huai, what are you doing?”

”Hmph. Three days have pa.s.sed. Why are all of you still here? Leave the pavilion! Are you staying here to await your death?” said Nan Huai with a sneer.

”Why should we leave? Is this the command of the pavilion master?” Zi Changhe asked.

”It is not the pavilion master's command, but it is Lord Lightning Emperor's. The people in your estate are all related to Xiang Shaoyun. If you don't leave by today, all of you will be executed as traitors!” Elder Nan Huai threatened.

Zi Changhe's face turned unsightly. Although he was already a King, he was still too weak to resist a veteran King like Elder Nan Huai. More importantly, the elder was backed by Lightning Emperor. Even though Zi Changhe was part of the vice pavilion master's, Tian Xu's, faction, he still couldn't contend against him.

”Fine, we'll leave,” said Zi Changhe after some hesitation.

After all, there was no longer a place for them in the Cloud Margin Pavilion.
