Chapter 460 (2/2)

s.h.i.+ Yuebing’s beautiful eyes s.h.i.+mmered with shock, and she exclaimed: “A personal disciple of the Battle Demon Sect’s Great Elder Huang Yihe!”

After Yang Feng defeated Yi Yuanyang during s.h.i.+ Xue’s Moonlight Ceremony, his name became known to many top powerhouses of the Great Cloud Dynasty. As the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion was just an ordinary third-rate force within the Wei Sea City, s.h.i.+ Yuebing hasn’t heard of Yang Feng’s name. However, the four Great Elders of the Battle Demon Sect were world-famous experts. Any Warlock with just a little bit of knowledge would have heard of their names. s.h.i.+ Yuebing was naturally aware of the weight the t.i.tle personal disciple of a Great Elder of the Battle Demon Sect carried.

The status of a personal disciple of a Great Elder of the Battle Demon Sect was comparable to that of the Wei Sea City’s City Master. And within the sphere of influence of the Battle Demon Sect, the county masters would bow their heads respectfully and fawn on the personal disciples of the Great Elder of the Battle Demon Sect.

The reason why Yang Feng went to great length to join the Battle Demon Sect, apart from the precious secret methods and resources, was because he wanted to borrow the sect’s power!

s.h.i.+ Yuebing frowned and uttered in an apologetic tone: “Please wait a moment, I need a bit of time.”

With that, s.h.i.+ Yuebing immediately turned and left the room.

Yang Feng smiled and quietly tasted the red leaf dragon tea.

Before long, s.h.i.+ Yuebing came back and sat down. Looking at Yang Feng with an enigmatic gleam in her eyes, she smiled sweetly and said: “So you’re Senior Disciple Brother Yang Feng who defeated the Tai Yi Sect’s holy son. Sorry for not recognizing you.”

s.h.i.+ Yuebing continued promptly: “Since it’s you, Senior Disciple Brother Yang, then I can give you 80% of the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s shares.”

The Tai Yi Sect’s holy son Yi Yuanyang was a peerless genius who could defeat Moonlight Warlock rank experts. For Yang Feng to be able to defeat Yi Yuanyang, it meant that he was far stronger than ordinary Moonlight Warlocks.

The Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s strongest fighting strength was just two Elders who were pinnacle Starry Sky Warlocks. The Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s 1,000-year-long foundation wasn’t enough to recruit a Moonlight Warlock to work for them. Now that Yang Feng wanted to take over the the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion, s.h.i.+ Yuebing promptly chose to rely on him.

When he saw s.h.i.+ Yuebing’s decisiveness, Yang Feng revealed a satisfied smile.

A few days later, four old men sat at a huge white marble round table in a building belonging to the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion. The four old men were the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s four Elders. Back in the day, they were the subordinates of s.h.i.+ Yuebing’s father s.h.i.+ Lie.

The burly Second Elder with a black eye-patch on his right eye exuding a violent aura said gravely: “One month ago, another taishan-cla.s.s merchant s.h.i.+p of the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion sank. This is already the fifth taishan-cla.s.s merchant s.h.i.+p. Now that the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion is insolvent, no one is willing to give us credit. The Sky Blue Sea Pavilion is finished if things go on like this.”

The other three elders went silent.

The burly and robust First Elder with some gray hairs on his head shot the Second Elder a look and uttered flatly: “Old Second, if you have something to say, then just say it!”

The Second Elder was silent. Apparently too embarra.s.sed to speak, he looked at the Third Elder.

The Third Elder spoke with a faint smile: “The Cangyue Sea Pavilion’s young master fancies Yuebing. If Yuebing is willing to marry him as his concubine, then the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion and the Cangyue Sea Pavilion will integrate into one. We can have a comeback. The foundation the Old Lord pa.s.sed down to us won’t wilt down in our hands.”

The First Elder went silent for a while, then looked at the Fourth Elder who has been silent all this time and asked lightly: “What do you think, Old Four?”

The Fourth Elder lowered his head. As if a dead person, he kept his silence. Only the drawn-out breathing indicated that he was still alive.

The First Elder’s eyes flashed with anger, and he said frigidly, every word laced with emotion: “The debt of grat.i.tude we owe the Lord is as weighty as a mountain. We were nurtured from orphans to Starry Sky Warlocks, and are enjoying a lifespan surpa.s.sing 1,000 years. If not for the Lord, then we a bunch of homeless, petty orphans would have become piles of bones in less than 100 years. The Lord has died only 20 years ago, yet in order to seize the Young Lord’s property, you want to force her to marry that animal from the Cangyue Sea Pavilion. Has your conscience been eaten by the dogs?”

As one of the top 10 sea merchant groups of the Wei Sea City, the Cangyue Sea Pavilion possessed a great number of experts. But the Cangyue Sea Pavilion’s Young Master was a complete sc.u.m. He was already in his forties, yet despite a.s.sistance of the Cangyue Sea Pavilion’s tremendous resources, he was only a level-1 Warlock. Moreover, he led a life of debauchery, and liked to murder beautiful women. Every year, there would be many bodies of female slaves thrown into the sea.

The Second and Third Elders wanted to push s.h.i.+ Yuebing directly into a fire pit for their own prosperity, which made the First Elder angry to the extreme.

Listening to the angry shouts of the First Elder, the eyes of the Fourth Elder flickered with shame and his body trembled slightly, yet in the end, he just gave a long sigh and kept silent.

The Third Elder smiled coldly and said: “Old One, these words of yours are uncalled for! We have fought hard to reach our position in the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion. For the sake of the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion, which one of us hasn’t spilt blood? Even though we have some debt of grat.i.tude with the Old Lord, but after serving him for hundreds of years, I reckon that we already paid it off.”
