Is this the main hall of the Four Seas Pavilion?
Wu Wang looked up at the magnificent seaside city in front of him. His divine sense spread out, but it was blocked near the city walls, and he could only see the four characters carved on the city gate.
[Four Seas Treasures].
The Renhuang Pavilion, with its main and branch halls scattered everywhere, must have a greater number of immortals and experts serving it than the Four Seas Pavilion.
But the Four Seas Pavilion directly built a large city here, with tall buildings and layers of formations. Vaguely, Wu Wang could sense the pressure from several transcendent realm experts, giving a more direct impact than the Renhuang Pavilion.
"Let's go..."
Dongfang Mumu's face was full of unease as she whispered.
Throughout the journey, Wu Wang's expression had not been good.
On the way, Dongfang Mumu, who heard from Lin Suqing what had happened, was also shocked, waking up from her innocent appearance.
Did that Yunxiu Pavilion really dare to provoke Ji Mo, the only son of the Ji family?
What's more, Yunxiu Pavilion has an obvious connection with the Four Seas Pavilion?
Instead of looking for Ji Mo's whereabouts, they went straight to the main hall of the Four Seas Pavilion...
Are they trying to dismantle the Four Seas Pavilion?
Wu Wang glanced at Dongfang Mumu, and the coldness in his eyes eased a bit as he transmitted his voice:
"You go into the city and tell your master Feng Yezi about Ji Mo being captured by Yunxiu Pavilion. Don't worry about the rest."
"Well... okay."
Mumu agreed and leaped into the air, taking out a token and breaking through the formation ahead, swiftly descending towards the tall building in the center of the city.
Wu Wang didn't say much either, walking forward with his hands behind his back. Figures descended from the sky behind him, with the Great Elder and the Miao Elder at the forefront, followed by Yang Wudi, Zhang Moshan, and dozens of true immortals.
They each displayed their aura, and due to the Great Elder's momentum, a cloud of blood appeared in the sky.
Dragons and tigers roared in the clouds, and it seemed as if thousands of troops were rushing forward, causing countless figures to appear in the city, standing in the air.
In an instant, hundreds of immortal soldiers appeared at the city gate, watching Wu Wang and his group with vigilance.
Two middle-aged male immortals, who looked like captains, walked out of the formation and shouted:
This novel is available on "pawread dot com".
"Halt! This is an important area of the Four Seas Pavilion! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
"Do you have a pass?"
Wu Wang only looked ahead, and the Great Elder's robe fluttered as a large hand formed out of thin air and slapped down on the two men.
When a transcendent realm expert made a move, even a heavenly immortal couldn't resist, let alone the fact that the Great Elder made a sudden move without any warning. These two men could only maintain their protective immortal light.
The group of immortal soldiers became furious and immediately rushed forward.
Bloodlust filled the eyes of the Great Elder. As a transcendent realm demonic cultivator who had participated in the battle against the Evil God, his pressure was fully released. How could this group of immortal soldiers withstand it?
The group from the Mie Sect continued to move forward, while the immortal soldiers kept retreating slightly, trembling in fear under the pressure of the transcendent realm.
Dang!
The sound of a wooden staff hitting the ground came from the city wall. A gentle breeze blew, and a white cloud enveloped the immortal soldiers, calming their hearts.
It was an old woman and a tall, thin old man who appeared at the same time, isolating the pressure released by the Great Elder.
The tall, thin old man snorted, and the old woman spoke slowly.
"Hmph!"
"Is the friend the Bloodhand Demon Lord? I wonder why you have come to our Four Seas Pavilion and what is your purpose?"
The Great Elder did not answer. At this moment, the group from the Mie Sect was only ten zhang away from the city gate.
Wu Wang stopped in his tracks, and dozens of people stopped at the same time.
Yang Wudi brought a jade-inlaid golden chair from behind and placed it in the middle of the road.
Wu Wang lifted the hem of his robe, calmly sat down, and stared at the city in front of him.
He didn't release any aura or pressure. At first glance, others might think he was just a disciple of some sect. But upon closer inspection, they would feel that his eyes were too deep, and his young face exuded a silent power.
His presence was like a slowly growing mountain. At first, it was only a few zhang tall, but in a short while, it had grown to a thousand ren!
The Miao Elder held a palace fan in her hand, swaying her soft waist. Dressed in a black dress, she looked like a blooming peony. As she took a few steps forward, the immortal soldiers couldn't help but lose their previous fierceness and couldn't take their eyes off her.
She gently opened her vermilion lips, and her gentle voice echoed throughout the Four Seas Pavilion:
"We are people from the Mie Tianhei, the Dark Demon Sect. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us, Four Seas Pavilion."
The Miao Elder turned to the side, walking slowly with graceful steps, her voice becoming more charming:
"Today, our sect master Wu Wang has personally come here because our sect's protector has gone missing in your Four Seas Pavilion.
This protector's surname is Ji, and he is a close friend of our sect master. He has also made great contributions to our Mie Sect.
Our sect master doesn't want to make a big fuss. As long as Ji, the protector, appears here unharmed within twelve hours, we will immediately leave.
But if Ji Mo is injured, unconscious, weakened, or his limbs are broken, our sect master will not let anyone involved in this matter go."
After she finished speaking, she left the city with her back to it, about to walk behind Wu Wang.There was a sudden cold laugh in the city: "Who is your sect master? How dare you threaten the Four Seas Pavilion! You demonic woman from the demonic sect! Are you seeking death?"
Elder Miao turned his head slightly and saw a young woman with a sword cursing. A charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a pink light flashed in her eyes as she smiled:
"This little girl with yellow hair, let me teach her a lesson."
The young woman was confused, but suddenly two strong figures appeared beside her, and two slaps resounded simultaneously.
Wu Wang stared at the young fairy for a while and suddenly realized.
He had seen this person before.
When he left the Daughter Country, he met an old and a young envoy from the Four Seas Pavilion.
Unfortunately, Elder Miao's charm technique was activated too quickly, and he didn't give the woman a chance to say those words.
It was something like "Authorized by the Emperor, can manage everything."
There was a moment of silence in the city, followed by a buzzing sound.
"Isn't that the Master of the Punishment Hall, Master Wuwang? How did he become the sect master?"
"Ji Protector, the Ji Protector who destroyed the sect, I seem to remember... that playboy Ji Mo? Yes, he once participated in the trial of our Four Seas Pavilion."
"Ji Mo got lost in our Four Seas Pavilion? This doesn't make sense. Our territory is in Jiuye, and there is only one main pavilion in the Human Realm."
"What's going on?"
In the center of the city, in a tall building with the words "Four Seas" hanging on it, dozens of figures gathered in a hall, discussing in a low voice.
Most of them were old men and women, about thirty percent were middle-aged, and none of them had a young face.
Feng Yezi was sitting in the main seat, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly, listening to the whispers around him.
After a while, Feng Yezi slowly put down the teacup, and the light sound of "da" made the place completely quiet.
The Four Seas Pavilion's sect master with a crane crown spoke up:
"Who is responsible for the Yunxiu Pavilion?"
Dozens of elders and stewards of the Four Seas Pavilion remained silent.
Feng Yezi's gaze swept to the left, and an old woman stood up, bowed her head, and said softly:
"Sect Master, that Wuwang is just the Master of the Punishment Hall of the Renhuang Pavilion, on the same level as us. He dared to bring people to cause trouble in the Four Seas Pavilion and even claimed to be the sect master. Clearly, he doesn't take our Four Seas Pavilion seriously.
It would be better to send a few people to drive him away and protect the dignity of our Four Seas Pavilion."
A middle-aged male cultivator on the right stood up and sighed:
"Elder, don't you understand? Wuwang, as the master of the Punishment Hall, came here as the master of the destroyed sect to demand the life of Ji Mo, the protector of the destroyed sect. His intention is only to protect Ji Mo's life!
Wuwang's unspoken meaning is that as long as Ji Mo is safe and sound, he will not pursue the matter any further.
If we don't even recognize this bit of respect..."
An old man on the left stood up, furrowing his brows: "Respect? Where do you place our Four Seas Pavilion? Ji Mo is lost. Why should he come to our Four Seas Pavilion?"
A middle-aged woman stood with a sword and cursed, "What's the matter with Yunxiu Pavilion? Don't you elders know? Since such a dirty thing has been done, are you afraid of being discovered?"
An elder stood up: "Nonsense! The Four Seas Pavilion has collected countless treasures from Jiuye and made great contributions to the Human Realm!"
Another steward sneered, "I'll say something that you elders may not like to hear. These tasks of the Four Seas Pavilion can be done by another group of people.
But those loyal souls who died on the border cannot be replaced by anyone!
Isn't the Ji family worthy of our respect?
Yunxiu Pavilion is not only audacious, but also lawless! They actually made a move against Ji Mo. Even if Ji Mo is just a wanderer, owing them hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, they shouldn't do such a thing!"
An old woman anxiously said, "Ji Mo is about to find out about our Four Seas Pavilion!"
Silence.
The entire hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and everyone's eyes turned to the old woman.
"The old one is saying... saying..."
The old woman's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She glanced at Feng Yezi and whispered, "The water behind Yunxiu Pavilion is deep. Neither you nor I can control it. Even if we know about this, we can only turn a blind eye.
Sect Master, please make a decision. That Wuwang is just a mere hall master. How dare he be so arrogant in this place."
Feng Yezi nodded slightly and frowned as he looked to the right, saying in a calm voice, "Does anyone have any objections?"
"No, Sect Master, are you really going to reprimand Wuwang?"
A middle-aged male immortal stood up, jumping anxiously, and said, "Everyone, who is Wuwang?
He is the Little Golden Dragon! The successor to the Emperor chosen by His Majesty! Everyone in the Renhuang Pavilion knows that even the sect master Liu Bairen treats him politely and handles everything with moderation!
And who is Ji Mo?
The Ji family has been loyal and righteous since the time of Emperor Fuxi. There has never been a coward among them! If the Ji family learns of this, will the Ji family's ancestor come with the plaque bestowed by the Emperor? Shall we kneel down and explain to them?
Sect Master! You must not drive them away. If someone from our side did this, we should quickly bring Ji Mo back!"
On the left side of Feng Yezi, an old woman opened her eyes and said in a calm voice:"How can the Four Seas Pavilion admit to not having done this?"
Beside the old woman, many elders behind her spoke up, implying that the Four Seas Pavilion had not done such a thing, and Wu Wang's visit to Ji Mo was purely groundless.
Feng Yezi nodded slowly and smiled, "Since Senior Sister has spoken, then we can only settle it this way."
"Grandma, Ji Mo was taken away by Yunxiu Pavilion! Is it really unrelated to our Four Seas Pavilion?"
Dongfang Mumu jumped out from behind the screen where Feng Yezi was sitting, staring at the old woman who had just spoken, the former head of the Four Seas Pavilion.
Dongfang Mumu, unlike her usual cheerful self, had a hint of confusion, a hint of incomprehension, and a hidden anger on her little face.
She said firmly:
"Regarding the question... Master Wuwang sent two groups of people to investigate Yunxiu Pavilion, Ji Mo in the light, and Lin Qi in the dark.
On the way, Master Wuwang sent out twelve command tokens. The Ji family, the Lin family, and the Pori Sect all know about this now.
I've said this much, you can decide for yourselves.
You always say that I'm a little troublemaker. I'll play a trick on you. Have I ever done anything outrageous?
What about you?
A bunch of old troublemakers! Ugh!"
After speaking, Dongfang Mumu bowed with her short sword and turned to jump towards a window, disappearing in a few ups and downs.
The atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive.
Many gazes fell on the old woman's face, and many gazes fell on Feng Yezi's face.
Feng Yezi just picked up his tea and took a sip, remaining calm and composed.
On the right side, an old woman sighed, "Do you really think you can hide it? The Ji family and the Lin family can influence most of the aristocratic families. Master Wuwang has the support of the Renhuang Pavilion.
He gave us twelve hours, just to protect Ji Mo's life. As long as Ji Mo returns safely, Yunxiu Pavilion will close its business on its own, and he won't trouble the Four Seas Pavilion.
Who was Master Wuwang's last opponent? Deputy Deity of Lifespan!
Who was his opponent before that? The leader of the Evil Gods, Qiong Qi!
From what I can see, Ji Mo's life is the most important thing right now. Whoever can contact Yunxiu Pavilion should hurry up and contact them."
Feng Yezi said calmly, "If Ji Mo can return safely, half of the blame will be lifted."
"Are they really investigating Yunxiu Pavilion, one in the light and one in the dark? I'm just asking casually."
Feng Yezi stood up and smiled, "If Ji Mo can return safely, we can say that the Four Seas Pavilion rescued him from the hands of the thieves. Then this matter can be minimized, right?
You all still don't know how to adapt, don't act like a disaster is about to strike. The Four Seas Pavilion won't fall, and it can't fall.
Those who are willing to go with me, let's go and meet Master Wuwang.
He is a very ambitious young man, and I will introduce him to you."
After speaking, Feng Yezi walked forward with his hands behind his back.
The elders and attendants on the right side did not think much and followed behind Feng Yezi. On the left side, many people hesitated, looking at each other and avoiding eye contact.
After Feng Yezi left, several people stood up and bowed to the old woman at the head of the left side, then hurriedly went to a side door.
...
Outside the city gate, the number of immortal soldiers faced by the disciples of the Extinct Sect had increased from hundreds to thousands.
The young woman covered her mouth, her face filled with sadness as she stared at the group of experts from the Demon Sect outside.
Wu Wang appeared calm on the surface, occasionally turning his head to drink tea, but there was still a stone hanging in his heart.
At this moment, he couldn't hear the debate among the elders and attendants of the Four Seas Pavilion, but what they analyzed and what he expressed were consistent.
He wanted to protect Ji Mo's life.
If the Four Seas Pavilion brings Ji Mo back, he will leave without bothering about Yunxiu Pavilion.
Wu Wang didn't want to deal with such trivial matters.
A large group is difficult to manage, and a force that is too large will always breed various problems and have areas that the sunlight cannot reach.
It was the girl from the Qingqiu Kingdom who bumped into Wu Wang, and Wu Wang had some aversion towards Yunxiu Pavilion, which led to Ji Mo and Lin Qi investigating the matter.
Of course, this was only the first layer of intention.
There were several layers of intention behind this. One was to strike at the Four Seas Pavilion, which controlled the lifeline of the Human Realm. The second was to deter those high-ranking experts in the Human Realm who had strong desires but occupied important positions.
The third was to provide Ji Mo and Lin Qi with opportunities for training and advancement. It was not good for them to stay by his side all the time.
But the deepest layer was that Wu Wang wanted the Punishment Hall to step out of the Renhuang Pavilion and expand its authority, making it convenient for him to act in the future.
The Human Realm must be as solid as iron internally in order to compete with the Heavenly Palace.
But now...
Yunxiu Pavilion had such audacity, and the Four Seas Pavilion acted without any scruples!
Today, Wu Wang was here to save Ji Mo. As long as Ji Mo returned safely, he would take action himself, find other reasons, and gradually dig out the tumors within the Four Seas Pavilion.
In fact, if he really wanted to deal with the tumors within the Four Seas Pavilion, he didn't need to go through Yunxiu Pavilion.
He could directly investigate!Wu Wang refused to believe that those high-ranking officials from the Four Seas Pavilion, who were involved with Yunxiu Fang, were innocent elsewhere!
The Great Elder suddenly sent a voice transmission to remind him, "Sect Master, they are coming. Elder Feng Yezi is the first."
"Oh?"
Wu Wang couldn't help but frown slightly.
Feng Yezi?
Did the matter of Yunxiu Fang really have something to do with Feng Yezi?
This didn't seem right. Feng Yezi had only been the Pavilion Master of the Four Seas Pavilion for a few years. He was promoted by Emperor Shen Nong himself when Wu Wang was still in the Human Realm, during his blind date with Xiao Weijing on the island.
However, Yunxiu Fang had existed for many years, so logically speaking...
That's it.
Wu Wang had a clear understanding in his heart as to why Feng Yezi appeared at this moment.
This old senior had no choice but to show up, otherwise, he would have a hard time convincing the people in the Four Seas Pavilion in the future.
Thinking of this, Wu Wang stood up, a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He instructed the people behind him, "Don't be rude when facing Elder Feng Yezi later."
Wu Wang emphasized the three words 'Feng Yezi', and everyone nodded in agreement, understanding the Sect Master's intention.
'Don't mess with those who have a higher rank than the Palace Master.' - Yang Wudi's interpretation.
In a short while, the thousands of immortal soldiers on the left and right stepped aside, and the light wall of the grand formation here slowly melted away.
Feng Yezi walked leisurely, a slight smile in his eyes, his wide robe brought a gentle breeze; the group of old men behind him each showed a bit of a smile, looking harmonious.
"Wu Wang, what wind brought you here?"
"Ah, I'm worried about the safety of my guardian, and I can't help but feel uneasy, so I came here to wait."
Wu Wang laughed, "If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Elder Feng Yezi.
Everyone, call out."
Dozens of strong men bowed their fists together and shouted, "Greetings, Pavilion Master Feng!"
Feng Yezi's smile deepened.
He took two steps forward and said slowly, "I came in a hurry and didn't have time to summon all the elders of the Four Seas Pavilion... Why don't you come over and pay your respects to Palace Master Wu Wang?"
The old men all bowed together, "Greetings, Palace Master Wu Wang."
"You're all too kind," Wu Wang smiled and nodded, knowing that these people were Feng Yezi's supporters, and he would try not to provoke them if he could.
Just then, a woman wrapped in flames walked out from a twist in the universe about ten feet away from Wu Wang and Feng Yezi.
The flames turned into a portal, leading to a forest.
The woman's features were not delicate, her figure was too tall, and her body was fiery, giving her a unique charm.
Her fiery red battle armor retracted its flames, she slightly raised her head, holding a staff in both hands.
"Emperor Yan has ordered Xia Guan Zhurong·Huoling to come and see Pavilion Master Feng. The Emperor has ordered Pavilion Master Feng to go and see him immediately."
Feng Yezi's face turned serious, he slightly bowed to Zhurong·Huoling and said, "I will go right away."
With that, he walked straight towards the portal and disappeared in an instant.
Zhurong·Huoling, who was about the same height as Wu Wang, gave Wu Wang a somewhat stiff smile, stepped forward, and raised the staff above her head.
"The Emperor's whip is here, and it is now in the hands of Palace Master Wu Wang!
The Punishment Hall is ordered to thoroughly investigate the matter of Yunxiu Fang! If anyone disobeys, they will be whipped!"
Wu Wang raised his hands above his head and took the staff. The Emperor's fire surged within him, and the staff ignited, turning into a red whip.
With that, a hint of doubt arose in Wu Wang's heart.
If they forced the issue like this, what if Ji Mo was killed to silence him?
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the sea.
Wu Wang's divine sense swept over and saw a strange cylindrical ship 'flying upside down' on the sea. A familiar burly man was wearing a cloak, holding his arms, raising his long neck, and laughing wildly.
Under the ship, a muscular old man was carrying the ship, walking on the waves at an incredibly fast speed.
"Little brother! Look who your big brother brought!"
Wu Wang sniffed and immediately felt relieved.
Yes, it was the scent of Ji Mo.
