Chapter 428: The Miserable Fate of Wind Lightning Pavilion – Three Divisions Left
The elders of Wind Lightning Pavilion sat with dark expressions, their minds racing after hearing that Elders Yun and Feng had both fallen.
"There's still no confirmation on the culprit," one of them muttered. "However, Elders Yun and Feng were last seen accompanying that Hong Chen to Tianbei City..."
"Lei, Dian, and Yu, the three of you will personally lead our forces to investigate this matter. No matter who was responsibleeven if it was Myriad Sword Pavilion we must capture them first! The disciples of our Wind Lightning Pavilion are not people that can be killed so easily!"
The silver robed figure sitting on the throne spoke with a low, commanding voice.
"Understood!"
The three elders bowed and instantly turned into streaks of light, disappearing from the hall.
Once they left, the grand hall fell into silence once again.
After a long pause, the silver robed man slowly stood up. With a flick of his sleeve, thunder rumbled throughout the chamber.
"Daring to lay a hand on Wind Lightning Pavilion… If I don't find the ones responsible, those two old bastards will never let me live it down!"
Arcs of lightning crackled in his eyes as he continued boasting confidently, completely unaware that disaster was already upon him.
Wind Lightning Pavilion's Elders Arrive at Tianbei City
The three elders Lei, Dian, and Yu rushed toward Tianbei City, leading a large group of Wind Lightning Pavilion disciples.
However, upon arriving, they were met with a horrifying sight.
Hong Chen's family the entire Hong Clan had been utterly wiped out.
Even worse Hong Chen was still alive… and still burning!
His entire body was engulfed in flames, his tortured screams echoing throughout the ruins of his home.
Seeing this, the three elders' expressions darkened.
"This… This is a Heavenly Flame!"
"Something's wrong!"
The three of them suddenly realized the true danger of the situation.
If the attacker had access to a Heavenly Flame, then they weren't from Myriad Sword Pavilion.
In that case…
Whoever had wiped out Elder Yun and Elder Feng had to be an absolute monster.
Flame based factions like Burning Flame Valley came to mind…
Or worse…
The rising force of the Northwest Region Cailin Pavilion.
The rumors claimed that its mysterious Pavilion Master possessed a Heavenly Flame.
If it was truly them…
Then Wind Lightning Pavilion was in serious trouble!
"ALL WIND LIGHTNING PAVILION DISCIPLES WITHDRAW IMMEDIATELY!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the three elders turned and attempted to flee.
However
"Leaving so soon?"
A calm yet chilling voice echoed through the air.
The moment they looked up, a massive crimson barrier sealed off their escape route!
This scene was all too familiar to those from the Jia Ma Empire.
Back then, Wu Tian had used this exact method to trap and slaughter the members of the Hall of Souls!
"Who are you?!"
The three elders' faces paled as they stared at the black robed youth floating above them.
"If you don't even know who I am…"
"Then you deserve to die."
Before they could even react
A horrifying heat erupted from within their bodies.
Moments later, all the Wind Lightning Pavilion disciples present had turned to ash.
As for the three elders, they could only die with a single thought in their minds
"What… kind of flame… burns from the inside out…?"
Of course, they had no way of knowing that Wu Tian possessed the Fallen Heart Flame a flame capable of directly igniting the insides of a person's body.
Just like that…
Wind Lightning Pavilion's Northern Division lost five elders in a single day.
But Wu Tian wasn't done yet.
His figure flickered and vanished, instantly crossing thousands of miles using spatial energy.
The next moment
He arrived above Wind Lightning Pavilion's Northern Division.
Feeling the presence of Cailin stirring restlessly within him, Wu Tian smirked.
Then he moved again.
In an instant
He appeared inside the highest chamber of the Thunder Tower.
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
The Pavilion Master of Wind Lightning's Northern Division Tian Lei Zi suddenly sprang to his feet.
His expression was one of disbelief.
Someone had infiltrated the heart of his domain without a sound?!
"Sigh…"
Wu Tian shook his head.
"There's no point in explaining this to you."
"You should be asking your genius disciple, Hong Chen, why you're about to die."
A small flame danced at Wu Tian's fingertips.
Moments later
Tian Lei Zi's screams of agony filled the entire Thunder Tower.
After extracting his soul, Wu Tian collected his corpse as well.
Then, without wasting another second, he vanished into thin air.
By the time the remaining Wind Lightning Pavilion disciples arrived…
Their Pavilion Master was already gone.
The Aftermath: Tianbei City in Chaos
Back in Tianbei City, the entire region was in a state of complete panic.
Everyone now knew that the Northern Division of Wind Lightning Pavilion had been annihilated.
Ordinary people fled as far away as possible, fearing that Wind Lightning Pavilion would retaliate.
But Wu Tian didn't care about them.
Instead, he led the entire Han Clan to occupy Qifeng Mountain
Formerly the headquarters of Wind Lightning Pavilion's Northern Division.
Not only that
He built a spatial wormhole, directly connecting Qifeng Mountain to Black Corner Region.
As a Dou Zun, constructing a wormhole was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
However, it still took some time.
And in that time
All of Central Plains' Northern Region was thrown into an uproar.
Now, everyone knew exactly who had destroyed Wind Lightning Pavilion's Northern Division.
For many, the most shocking thing wasn't just the destruction itself
But the reason behind it.
According to the rumors, this all happened because Hong Chen a mere Wind Lightning Pavilion disciple had dared to set his sights on the wife of Cailin Pavilion's Master.
This was beyond ridiculous.
A Dou Huang nobody trying to blackmail the wife of a Dou Zun?!
This was undoubtedly the most laughable event in the history of the Dou Qi Continent.
In fact, when people heard the full story
Many couldn't help but pity Wind Lightning Pavilion.
"How did they end up with such a dumbass disciple?!"
Not only did he give Cailin Pavilion the perfect excuse to enter Central Plains
But he also completely humiliated Wind Lightning Pavilion's reputation.
Meanwhile, at Wind Lightning Pavilion's Eastern Division…
Three Pavilion Masters sat around a square table.
Yet, one seat remained empty.
The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
The remaining three Pavilion Masters exchanged glances.
Then, they silently turned to look at the empty chair.
"Thank the heavens…"
"At least Han Clan wasn't in our territory…"
"If they were, then today's missing seat would have been one of ours."
