The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 129 Outside Broken Gold City

Chapter 129 Outside Broken Gold City

"yes!"

The middle-aged man who had made the earlier suggestion clasped his hands in response, then turned and left.

"Tianfeng Pavilion - Ye Feng -"

Chen Duanjin repeated in a low voice, his eyes gleaming.

He didn't want to make enemies with this young supreme being, but the territory of the Qinghuang Ancient Plain was only so big, and the resources that could be divided up should not be allowed to be touched by outsiders.

If another supreme-level force like them were to emerge, the Broken Gold Society might not even be able to raise enough tribute to the Remnant Star City.

That Remnant Star Supreme is a powerful Second-Rank Supreme, backed by a powerful force like the Yinluo Sect. He is someone that a First-Rank Supreme like him cannot afford to offend.

The ancient, desolate plains are home to a hundred sects.

Inside a magnificent hall.

A middle-aged man with a tall and straight posture sat in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. As he listened to the report from the man in black below, his expression quietly froze.

He was none other than Li Baixing, the sect leader of the Hundred Sect, who enjoyed a great reputation in the Qinghuang Ancient Plain.

"Tianfeng Pavilion... Ye Feng..."

Li Baixing repeated the name softly, his eyes gleaming.

Such a young supreme expert is a rare sight in the entire Hundred Battle Domain.

Their open disruption of the balance and establishment of a power in this desolate ancient plain suggests either that they are inexperienced and ignorant of the immensity of the world, or that they have something to rely on.

"Sect Master, the Broken Gold Society has sent a message inviting our Hundred Lines Sect and the Dry Bone Sect to join forces and put pressure on the Heavenly Wind Pavilion."

The man in black continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, Li Baixing's expression darkened considerably.

"That old bastard Chen Duanjin, he's got a good plan."

As he spoke, Li Baixing slowly stood up, walked down from the high platform with his hands behind his back, and looked towards the northwest.

"However, Tianfeng Pavilion is newly established and its foundation is still shallow. This is the perfect opportunity for the three major forces to join forces to drive it out. If we wait until it becomes powerful, our Baixing Sect will have no place to stand."

"However, such young supreme beings are likely to have a background. It is better to find out the details before taking action. Acting rashly would be inviting a powerful enemy."

Li Baixing frowned, pondered deeply for a moment, and then made a decision.

"The heroic name of the sect leader."

The man in black complimented.

Li Baixing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant void outside the hall.

Let's set off in a few days—

Another location, the Gate of Dry Bones.

Inside the gloomy hall, skeletons hung on the walls, their phosphorescent glow flickering, emanating a nauseating stench of decay.

In the main seat of the hall, an old man with a withered face and wearing a gray-white robe sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint gray-white mist. He was none other than Gu Xuan, the sect leader of the Dry Bone Sect.

"Hehe, interesting..."

After reading the letter in his hand, a sinister smile appeared on Gu Xuan's withered face.

"Young Supreme, I'd like to see what I've got to offer."

Gu Xuan slowly stood up, his joints cracking.

"Send word to summon the elders of the sect and have them accompany me to Duanjin City."

"Sect Master, what's wrong...?"

One of the elders in gray robes hesitated before speaking.

Gu Xuan gave a cold laugh, his withered hand slowly clenching.

"We've been sharing this piece of the Qinghuang Ancient Plains for so many years, and now a newcomer wants a piece of the pie, which we can't tolerate."

"but..."

Gu Xuan's tone shifted, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"If Tianfeng Pavilion is willing to become a vassal of my Kugu Sect, then it's not that we can't accept them."

"And then there's the Broken Gold Society and the Hundred Practices Sect—"

Gu Xuan paced slowly, his withered fingers gently rubbing his knuckles, a ghostly light flickering in his eyes.

The Azure Wasteland is nothing special in the Hundred Battles Domain, but there are too many forces on it. This might be a great opportunity to unify the entire Azure Wasteland.

He has now broken through to the second-grade supreme level and is fully qualified to control this Qinghuang Ancient Plain.

"The sect leader is wise."

The gray-robed elder smiled obsequiously and replied.

Others might not know, but he certainly did, that their sect leader came from the Xuan Gu Palace.

Although the Xuan Bone Hall cannot compare to top-tier forces like the Myriad Swords Valley, it is still quite powerful. The Xuan Bone Supreme of the Xuan Bone Hall is a fourth-grade Supreme expert, and is quite famous throughout the Hundred Battles Domain.

"Hehe, this desolate ancient plain deserves a true master—"

As that somewhat eerie voice echoed from the main hall, a chilling spiritual energy emanated from Gu Xuan's body, causing the white bones hanging in the hall to tremble slightly.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tianfeng City.

Ye Feng sat upright at the head of the main hall, gazing at a newly formed spirit seal in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Since Sheng Yuan taught him the method of condensing spirit seals, the number of spirit seals he can condense has increased from the initial 150 to 200.

Two hundred arrays—that's the threshold for a level five spirit array master. In other words, he can now set up level five spirit arrays.

"The Pavilion Master's talent in the art of spirit arrays is truly unparalleled in my life."

Sheng Yuan stood in the hall, watching the two hundred spiritual seals in Ye Feng's palm flow through the air as if they were his own arms, his eyes filled with amazement.

In just ten days, he can become a level 5 spirit array master. If he had focused all his energy on condensing spirit seals, the number he has condensed now would definitely exceed this level.

This talent cannot be described simply as outstanding.

"Thank you for your guidance."

Ye Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand to disperse the spiritual seals, and his gaze fell on Sheng Yuan.

One who is skilled can be a teacher. Although the person in front of him cannot compare with him in terms of strength, he has been able to get started in the art of spirit arrays.

Unfortunately, even Sheng Yuan didn't have many level-five spirit array diagrams, and he didn't have a single diagram of a level-five or higher array.

The spirit array diagrams above the level of character are all extremely valuable, requiring Supreme Spirit Liquid to exchange for them, which is beyond Sheng Yuan's reach.

"You flatter me, Master. I have only done my best. It is my honor to follow you."

Sheng Yuan quickly waved his hand, his attitude humble.

Over the past few days, as he got closer to this Pavilion Master, he learned that their Pavilion Master was not a First-Rank Supreme at all, but a Second-Rank.

This level of strength is second to none in the entire Qinghuang Ancient Plains.

The future of Tianfeng Pavilion is almost predictable.

Most importantly, the treatment this pavilion master gave him was truly enticing.

Supreme Spiritual Liquid—this was something he had never dared to dream of before.

"When the Heavenly Wind Pavilion grows stronger in the future, you may well have a chance to break through to the Spirit Array Master level—"

Ye Feng smiled faintly, his deep black eyes flickering slightly.

As his reputation grew in the Qinghuang Ancient Plains, the three major forces remained inactive for a long time. In recent days, however, many people at the Three Realms level came to join him, and the overall strength of the Tianfeng Pavilion increased considerably.

Although it is still a disorganized group, and there are many people with ulterior motives among them, a basic framework of power has already been formed.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before Tianfeng Pavilion would be able to establish itself in the Hundred Battles Domain and become a powerful force in the region.

"If that day ever comes, I will gladly die for it."

Sheng Yuan blurted out, his voice revealing sincerity.

Ye Feng nodded and smiled, about to say something more, when a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Sect Master!"

Wang Fu hurriedly stepped into the hall, his expression slightly solemn, and bowed to report.

"The Broken Gold Society, the Hundred Paths Sect, and the Boneless Sect have jointly sent messengers to deliver a message, saying that they wish to invite the Pavilion Master to Broken Gold City for a discussion."

"Oh?"

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"So, there's finally some reaction—"

Ye Feng slowly rose from his seat, walked to the palace gate with his hands behind his back, and looked towards the northwest, a profound look flashing in his eyes.

"Since the three major powers have invited us, how can we refuse?"

Ye Feng didn't hesitate and quickly made a decision.

"Master, this is likely a trap..."

Sheng Yuan, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment and hesitated before speaking.

With the three major forces joining forces, Chen Duanjin, Li Baixing, and Gu Xuan are all first-grade supreme experts. In particular, Li Baixing, the sect leader of Baixing Sect, is rumored to be at the peak of first-grade supreme, and is only one step away from second-grade supreme.

Previously, the forces he controlled were required to pay tribute to the Hundred Sects every year.

"It's alright."

Ye Feng waved his hand, his expression indifferent.

"Three First-Rank Supremes are nothing; they can't cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan was startled, but then felt relieved.

Our sect leader is a second-grade supreme expert, so he has an absolute advantage when facing three first-grade supreme experts.

"Wang Fu, you stay in Tianfeng City. The rest of the people in Tianfeng Pavilion who are above the Tongtian Realm will come with me to Duanjin City."

Ye Feng's voice was firm and decisive as he gave the instructions.

The Tianfeng Pavilion was newly established and expanded too quickly, which is not a good thing. However, if it wants to gain a foothold in the Hundred Battles Domain, it cannot back down in the slightest at this critical juncture.

Otherwise, these people who already lack peace of mind will fall apart in an instant.

He needs to demonstrate some strength to make the entire Tianfeng Pavilion more cohesive, and then perhaps more supreme experts will join his ranks.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately—"

Wang Fu bowed in response and hurriedly took his leave.

Before long, more than twenty figures gathered in the square in front of the palace. Apart from Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan, most of them were faces that Ye Feng had seen once or twice.

"Set off--"

Ye Feng didn't say much. After giving a soft shout, he took the lead and transformed into a steady stream of light, flying out of Tianfeng City and heading northwest.

The Tianfeng Pavilion members followed closely behind Ye Feng. More than twenty streaks of light streaked across the sky, causing bursts of explosions in the air. Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan were at the head of the group, their faces full of anticipation, while the rest of the group had more worries and even some fear on their faces.

It is obvious that the three major forces in the Qinghuang Ancient Plains have a considerable deterrent effect on these people.

"This Pavilion Master's composure suggests he's not as simple as he appears—"

On one side of Sheng Yuan, two middle-aged men dressed in white robes exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming.

Although this Pavilion Master is young, he acts decisively and without any hesitation, unlike some hothead.

The three major forces joined forces to invite Tianfeng Pavilion, clearly intending to give them a warning. However, Tianfeng Pavilion not only showed no fear but also took the initiative to accept the invitation. This kind of courage is something that ordinary people cannot possess.

Joining the Heavenly Wind Pavilion might be a very good choice; otherwise, with their limited physical strength, it would be impossible for them to gain the favor of a supreme expert.

With the Tianfeng Pavilion newly built, Ye Feng is very generous in his efforts to attract promising individuals.

Those who are physically unable to ascend receive an annual offering of three to ten drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, which can increase based on their contributions. This treatment far surpasses that of the three major powers in the Qinghuang Ancient Plains.

This is also why Tianfeng Pavilion was able to attract so many people at the Tongtian Realm or above in less than a month.

Duanjin City was the most prosperous city in the ancient northwestern region of Qinghuang.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Broken Gold Society in the city, the leaders of the three major forces of the Azure Wasteland Ancient Plains have gathered together.

Chen Duanjin sat upright in the main seat, occasionally stroking his beard, as if he were thinking about something.

To his left, Li Baixing, the sect leader of the Hundred Lines Sect, was resting with his eyes closed, his face calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever.

On the right, the withered fingers of the withered bone sect leader, Gu Xuan, gently tapped the armrest, a chilling light flashing in his deep-set eyes.

"That Pavilion Master Tianfeng, I'm afraid he won't dare to come, will he?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Gu Xuan's lips, his dry voice echoing in the hall.

Just as he finished speaking, a vast surge of spiritual energy poured down from the distant horizon outside Duanjin City, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.

"Ye Feng, the master of Tianfeng Pavilion, has come at your invitation."

The clear voice resounded throughout Duanjin City, carrying an undeniable authority.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure appeared in the sky, followed by more than twenty people of varying strengths at the Tongtian Realm.

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed simultaneously.

"Second-Rank Supreme!"

Chen Duanjin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he involuntarily stood up, his face full of horror.

The difference between each of the nine ranks of the Supreme Realm is enormous. The strength of a second-rank Supreme Realm expert is beyond his ability to contend with, and cannot be easily compensated for by sheer numbers.

"This is truly unexpected; it seems a real dragon has arrived in the Azure Wasteland. This is troublesome—"

Li Baixing also suddenly opened his eyes, his expression solemn.

He had been at the peak of the First-Rank Supreme for many years, but he had never been able to break through. The key reason for this was that he could not obtain many resources in the Qinghuang Ancient Plain and the Hundred Battle Domain.

"The intelligence appears to be incorrect, but that's precisely the case; the more incorrect the intelligence, the greater the opportunity."

Gu Xuan's tapping on the armrest abruptly stopped, a hint of apprehension flashing in his deep eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greed.

A young second-rank supreme being is a good target. If one could get the chance to acquire his wealth, it would be a windfall.

As for the potential trouble he might cause, as long as he does it discreetly, who will know that he was the one who did it?

This vast world has never lacked geniuses who die young, especially in this chaotic Hundred Battle Domain.

"With such distinguished guests at our door, we must not be impolite."

The three exchanged a brief glance, then moved swiftly, heading out of the city.

The powerful figures from the three major forces also followed closely behind the three without the slightest negligence.

Outside Broken Gold City, above the sky.

Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his black clothes fluttering in the wind. His handsome face was calm and expressionless, except for a pair of deep black eyes that swept lightly over the golden city in front of him.

Behind him, more than twenty people from the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, including Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan, stood suspended in the air. Although their numbers were far fewer than the hundreds of people who had poured out of Duanjin City, they did not appear weak because of Ye Feng's calm and composed demeanor.

"From this day forward, the fame of Tianfeng Pavilion will resound throughout the Qinghuang Ancient Plains—"

Sheng Yuan's gaze swept over the direction of Duanjin City, his expression calm, his eyes full of trust in Ye Feng.

Only by personally interacting with and understanding their lord can one truly grasp the terrifying power he possesses.
