Chapter 869 Closed-door cultivation (1/2)

When Zhou Yuan returned, Yi Qiushui came to find him right away and reported everything. “The Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion have suddenly lifted the ban of the four mother runes and permitted the sales of the four mother runes in the two pavilions.”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed when he heard this. “What do you think about this?”

Yi Qiushui hesitated for a moment before she responded, “It must be because the opposition is too great, and they couldn’t suppress them anymore.”

Zhou Yuan chuckled. “I don’t think that’s the most important reason. It’s because the chief pavilion master battle is next month, and the outcome of all the competitions will appear then.”

Yi Qiushui’s pretty face changed slightly. “You mean Lu Xiao no longer intends to use these little tricks but wants to properly defeat you in the chief pavilion master battle? And then after gaining the position of chief pavilion master, he will have the final say in everything in the entire four pavilions?”

At that time, Lu Xiao could even ask Zhou Yuan to surrender the refining method of the four mother runes with various reasons. If Zhou Yuan refused, he could dismiss him from the position of wind pavilion master!

Ye Bingling’s cold, beautiful face also grew serious. Lu Xiao’s retreat at this time wasn’t a real retreat; it was to gather more terrifying strength for his next punch.

This time it would undoubtedly be a powerful attack.

“He’s smart,” Zhou Yuan remarked calmly.

Lu Xiao’s decision was flawless and could kill in one strike. As long as he wins the position of chief pavilion master, the previous adverse wind would all be reversible.

“What about Lu Xiao himself?” Zhou Yuan asked.

Yi Qiushui shook her head. “It is said that ever since the Heaven Flame Ritual, Lu Xiao hasn’t been seen much. If my guess is correct, he should be preparing for the chief pavilion master battle.”

“What do we do?” A worried look crossed Ye Bingling’s beautiful face. The pressure brought by Lu Xiao wasn’t small. It didn’t matter that the Wind Pavilion had defeated the Fire Pavilion in recent confrontations; she knew very well that the reason for this was that Lu Xiao, the strongest trump card of the Fire Pavilion, hadn’t made a move.

Although Zhou Yuan was strong, if he were against Lu Xiao, even Ye Bingling wouldn’t have much confidence in him.

Lu Xiao’s prestige in the Tianyuan Region wasn’t derived from the Heaven Spirit Sect.

“There’s nothing to worry about. My goal of coming to the Wind Pavilion isn’t just the position of pavilion master.” Zhou Yuan smiled, revealing his ambition. There was bound to be a battle between Lu Xiao and him.

“I will leave the Wind Pavilion to you guys for a period of time. I’m going to go into closed-door cultivation.”

Zhou Yuan waved to the two women and then strode out.

But immediately they let out deep sighs. They naturally hoped Zhou Yuan could become the chief pavilion master. However, Lu Xiao was a fierce tiger blocking his path.

If Zhou Yuan failed, the power that the Wind Pavilion had gained recently would be severely suppressed.

A worried look crossed the two women’s faces.

In a closed-off room.

In the center, a bronze cauldron stood quietly with Zhou Yuan sitting cross-legged inside it.

The cauldron was inscribed with many ancient patterns, which emitted a faint golden glow. A fiery heat lingered around them that caused the temperature in the cauldron to be extremely high. Even metal would be melted inside the cauldron.

Zhou Yuan was extremely satisfied with his environment. This was a unique cultivation room of the Wind Pavilion, and its effects were far stronger than other rooms on Wind Island.

He opened the palm of his hand, and a red copper sphere shot out.
