Chapter 844 Hall Master Xi Guang (1/2)

Inside the pavilion master building.

Lu Xiao stood with his hands clasped behind his back in front of the railings, peering at the surroundings with an indifferent gaze. After more than a month, the atmosphere in the Fire Pavilion was evidently much quieter than before. He knew that this was because the four mother runes of the Wind Pavilion were selling very well.

And with the increased popularity of the four mother runes, there were more and more people opposing the ban he had issued.

Earlier on, Han Yuan had come to complain to him, saying that he couldn’t control the people on the Mountain Pavilion’s side anymore. If the ban of the four mother runes continued, even his position as the pavilion master of the Mountain Pavilion would become unsteady.

Lu Xiao comforted him a little, asked him to endure for a little longer, then persuaded Han Yuan to leave.

But even though he had persuaded Han Yuan to leave, Lu Xiao understood that the four mother runes had become a sword hanging above their two pavilions’ heads. It could cause them to suffer severe injuries at any moment.

But if he let the four mother runes enter the Fire and Mountain Pavilions, the Mark Capturing Rune would inevitably suffer devastating damage. After all, the four mother runes were twice as effective as the Mark Capturing Rune for the same price. Anyone would know what decision to make.

Although most of the high-level members in the Fire Pavilion were heaven prides of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, in truth, there were more people from various other sects and factions within the Tianyuan Region. If Lu Xiao suppressed them forcibly, they might eventually join the Wind Pavilion.

“That Zhou Yuan...”

Lu Xiao’s face was dark. When he had first met Zhou Yuan, he had never thought that an ordinary-looking newcomer would cause him such a huge problem.

But fortunately, Zhou Yuan won’t be able to cause any more trouble.

Fang Ao and the others should have already succeeded, right? I wonder if Zhu Lian has obtained the core material for refining the four mother runes. If he has, then the current situation can be reversed in the blink of an eye.

Of course, even if he didn’t, it didn’t matter. As long as Zhou Yuan was gone, the Wind Pavilion wouldn’t be able to refine the four mother runes anymore, and the Fire Pavilion’s Mark Capturing Rune will become the only choice on the market again.

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Zhou Yuan, your skills aren’t bad, but unfortunately you don’t have enough foresight. I hope you will be smarter in your next life. Don’t think that you can act recklessly just because you have some ability.

Boom!

A beam of Genesis Qi descended from the sky, its pressure making countless people tremble in fear.

Lu Xiao’s complexion changed slightly when he felt the pressure. Before he could speak, he saw the Genesis Qi rush towards him and appear beside him in a few breaths.

The beam scattered, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in a silver robe. There was a cold and stern look on his face, and in his eyes were fragments of silver light. When the man glanced over with those eyes, Lu Xiao felt as if he was being stung by needles.

At first Lu Xiao was taken aback, but then he immediately gave a cupped fist salute and greeted loudly, “Disciple Lu Xiao pays respect to hall master Xi Guang.”

The person who had appeared was the hall master of one of the nine palace halls of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Xi Guang!

The middle-aged man, known as hall master Xi Guang, glanced coldly at Lu Xiao and shouted, “Where is Fang Ao and the others?”

Lu Xiao was obviously puzzled by the question, but he still replied respectfully, “Junior brother Fang Ao is out on a mission right now.”

“What mission?”

Seeing Xi Guang’s attitude and reaction, Lu Xiao felt an uneasiness gush to his heart, and his eyes flashed. He asked cautiously, “Is there something that hall master Xi Guang wants to ask?”

Xi Guang stretched out his hand and opened his palm, revealing a silver jade tablet. The jade tablet was shattered and dull.

Seeing the shattered silver jade tablet, Lu Xiao felt his mind suddenly exploded. Even a calm person like him screamed out uncontrollably, “How is this possible?!”

The silver jade tablet was one of the Silver Light Hall’s spirit jade tablets. The one before him naturally belonged to Fang Ao.

A spirit jade tablet represented the state of its master, and if it shattered and dimmed, it indicated that its master was dead!

In other words, Fang Ao had died?!
