Chapter 898 Thousand Technique Hall (1/2)

Zhou Yuan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then smiled and received Yi Qiushui’s report on the Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion.

It had been a huge operation this time. He might appear ruthless, but the truth was that he was still rather worried about how it would turn out. If there was too much objection or if the matter was escalated too far, it would most certainly cause problems for him. After all, the Heavenly Spirit Sect was currently quite unhappy with him.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur. With his interference, Lu Xiao could no longer unify the Fire Pavilion, let alone pose any threat towards the chief pavilion master.

By the side, Yi Qiushui faintly nodded. Soon after, she asked, puzzled, “But there was no movement from Lu Xiao this time. Otherwise, our plan would not have gone so smoothly. Could he have been beaten scared by you?”

Zhou Yuan chuckled and said, “Lu Xiao is no cowardly weakling.”

He already had a faint inkling. The reason why Lu Xiao neither supported nor opposed him was likely because he had ultimately dissipated the nine-headed python bloodline in Lu Xiao’s body.

The nine-headed python bloodline had already merged with Lu Xiao’s body and would affect Lu Xiao’s mind in the future. In the worst-case scenario, Lu Xiao would become a mindless snake demon.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan’s dragon resentment qi was a greater existence than the nine-headed python bloodline. Hence, although Lu Xiao had been seriously injured, he had found fortune in disaster and was saved from the aftereffects of the nine-headed python bloodline.

From a certain point of view, this was a huge debt.

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Xiao to express his gratitude to Zhou Yuan. Hence, he chose to neither support nor oppose Zhou Yuan’s plan.

If not for this, it would have been much more difficult for Zhou Yuan to divide the Fire Pavilion. After all, Lu Xiao’s years of influence in the Fire Pavilion would not be wiped away by a single loss.

“Qiushui, I’ll be troubling you to keep an eye on the four pavilions.” Zhou Yuan rose to his feet as he displayed a fawning smile to Yi Qiushui.

The first thing he did as chief pavilion master was to transfer Yi Qiushui from the Wind Pavilion to his side. After all, a chief pavilion master had far more work than a wind pavilion master. Without Yi Qiushui’s aid, his head would burst from being overwhelmed.

From his appearance, Yi Qiushui knew that he wanted to slack off again. Hence, she unhappily said, “What are you up to now?”

Since his reason was acceptable, Yi Qiushui could not find any fault with him. She could only snort softly and let him off this time.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly fled the room. Genesis Qi surged out, and his figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that swiftly flew towards the Thousand Technique Hall.

...

The Thousand Technique Hall was located in the core district of the Tianyuan Utopia. It was an important place that ordinary people were not allowed to approach.

However, with the token of authority given to him by Chi Jing, Zhou Yuan successfully arrived in front of the Thousand Technique Hall although patrolling guards had stopped him twice.

The only structure on the island was an enormous hall. An ancient melody seemed to echo within its walls, and no one could tell how long the hall had stood here.

Zhou Yuan landed on the platform and swept a glance at his surroundings, only for his heart to shiver slightly. He had sensed several extremely terrifying Genesis Rune boundaries embedded in the land and air around him. Even a Nascent Source stage expert would be trapped if caught.

“These boundaries were personally set up by our master.”

A familiar voice sounded. Zhou Yuan raised his head and saw a figure smiling at him. It was Chi Jing.
