CHAPTER 828: CHAPTER 828: UPHEAVAL AT YUE DAN PAVILION

A few days later, Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue appeared in front of the Yue Dan Pavilion’s mountain gate.

Zhu Fei looked at the towering peaks that pierced the clouds, the magnificent and orderly buildings, and the strong yet hidden protection prohibitions for the mountain, and couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

From Qiu Ruoxue’s words, Zhu Fei now understood that after his fall in his previous life, Yue Dan Pavilion immediately faced a stormy situation.

Many elderly people in the pavilion and many of his former disciples disappeared during that upheaval.

It wasn’t until the Assassination Pavilion intervened that Yue Dan Pavilion did not completely perish on this continent.

Later, Huan Sha joined Yue Dan Pavilion and gathered the remaining old members of Yue Dan Pavilion, allowing Yue Dan Pavilion to persist until now.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Yue Dan Pavilion, under Huan Sha’s leadership, not only did not regress even a little, but instead became so glorious.

Although Zhu Fei also knew that today’s Yue Dan Pavilion was probably a completely different scene with very few of the people left from his previous life that he once knew,

but whatever the case, the fact that Huan Sha had silently guarded his life’s work from the past left Zhu Fei somewhat touched.

"Excuse me, may I ask if you two have any urgent matters since you’re lingering around our Pill Pavilion?"

Just then, a young man in his late twenties, dressed in alchemical robes, suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue.

His cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, but his eyes, filled with vigilance and wariness, looked at Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue as he spoke again:

"I’m sorry, but our Pill Pavilion has recently encountered some things. If you two are here to request a pill, you’ll have to wait until we are free to discuss this later."

After speaking, this Golden Core Cultivator didn’t leave but kept a tight watch on Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue.

The feeling was as if unless Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue left in front of him, he would keep them under his watch the entire time.

Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue exchanged a glance, both slightly furrowing their brows.

They weren’t fools; they had already sensed the anxiety in this Golden Core Cultivator’s heart from his previous behavior, and the undisguisable panic when mentioning the Pill Pavilion.

Especially Qiu Ruoxue, who had come to Yue Dan Pavilion several times with Huan Sha in the past.

Even though this Golden Core Cultivator didn’t recognize her, she and Zhu Fei had been in the area for a while, and some elders within the Yue Dan Pavilion should have noticed.

But judging by the current situation, there seemed to be no reaction from within Yue Dan Pavilion.

Could it be that something went wrong inside Yue Dan Pavilion?

Almost simultaneously, Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue both had this thought arise in their minds.

They exchanged another glance, and eventually, it was Qiu Ruoxue who spoke to the Golden Core Cultivator:

"What’s your name? Why are you the only one here today? Where is Elder Chen Xuan?"

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxue mention their Inner Sect Elder Chen Xuan, the young Golden Core Cultivator was slightly startled.

But his cautiousness didn’t diminish, and he asked with a wary tone:

"Senior, do you know our Elder Chen Xuan? May I ask who you are?"

Qiu Ruoxue did not hide anything, directly replying, "I am Qiu Ruoxue of the Assassination Pavilion. Sister Huan Sha was once my mentor. If you mention my name to Chen Xuan, she should understand."

"Qiu... Senior Qiu Ruoxue..."

As if he had heard of Qiu Ruoxue, the young Golden Core Cultivator stuttered upon hearing Qiu Ruoxue’s words.

Qiu Ruoxue’s elegant brows slightly furrowed, just about to ask further questions when the Golden Core Cultivator suddenly knelt in the void, his expression slightly agitated:

"Senior Qiu, please, we beg the Assassination Pavilion to quickly rescue Yue Dan Pavilion! If this continues, Yue Dan Pavilion might not hold out for much longer!"

Suddenly hearing the young Golden Core Cultivator’s plea, both Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhu Fei interjected directly, asking, "What’s going on? Be clearer! What exactly happened at Yue Dan Pavilion?"

Seeing Zhu Fei suddenly speak, the Golden Core Cultivator wasn’t aware of Zhu Fei’s exact identity.

But seeing Zhu Fei with Qiu Ruoxue, he didn’t overthink and directly replied:

"Just a few days ago, the Sky Sword Sect, Fierce Ghost Sect, and Thunder Valley, these three Great Sects of the Ninth Grade, collectively demanded Yue Dan Pavilion submit to them, and... they also claimed..."

"Claimed what?"

Zhu Fei’s expression turned somber; he knew that the Three Great Sects mentioned by this Golden Core Cultivator were the top sects in the Northern Mountain territory.

Moreover, Zhu Fei knew that after his fall, the sects that had truly acted against Yue Dan Pavilion included these three sects.

Seeing Zhu Fei’s grim expression, the Golden Core Cultivator grew more anxious, stealing a cautious glance at Qiu Ruoxue before biting the bullet:

"They also said that the Biyun Sect of the South Yue has already besieged the Assassination Pavilion. It won’t be long before the Assassination Pavilion becomes history, and that we shouldn’t count on the Assassination Pavilion’s help but obediently let them plant prohibitions and submit to them."

Upon these words, both Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue couldn’t help their pupils from contracting sharply.

It turned out that several Great Sects, led by the Biyun Sect in the South Yue, had long planned against the Assassination Pavilion and Yue Dan Pavilion.

Taking advantage of Biyun Sect dealing with the Assassination Pavilion, and given that the Assassination Pavilion can’t free itself, the three sects led by Sky Sword Sect headed to Yue Dan Pavilion, all to take Yue Dan Pavilion quickly!

"They truly have some nerve!"

Zhu Fei’s eyes turned icy, and a killing intent began to swirl around him.

"Back when Sky Sword Sect, Fierce Ghost Sect, and Thunder Valley targeted my Yue Dan Pavilion, I hadn’t had the chance to settle scores with them yet, and here they are, proactively knocking on our doors again, well, isn’t that just grand!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure suddenly exuding from Zhu Fei, the young Golden Core Cultivator was visibly scared.

However, Qiu Ruoxue remained relatively calm, gently pulling Zhu Fei’s arm to signal him not to act impulsively.

Qiu Ruoxue then turned back to the Golden Core Cultivator and asked, "What’s your name? What is the situation inside now?"

Hearing Qiu Ruoxue speak again, the Golden Core Cultivator finally calmed down, glanced fearfully at Zhu Fei, and replied:

"Reporting to Senior Qiu, this junior is Liu Zifeng. I only know that several seniors within the pavilion are currently standing off against the Three Great Sects, but for more details, I’m not particularly clear."

Qiu Ruoxue nodded, then looked at Zhu Fei and asked, "Zhu Fei, what do you think we should do now...?"
