Chapter 12: I Plan to Kill Another Wave
The imposing aura emanating from the Blazing Flame Iron Cavalry stood like a majestic mountain before the cultivators of Dongyang Prefecture, regardless of how esteemed their positions were in Dongyang Prefecture.
But before this Iron Cavalry, they instantly felt incredibly insignificant, not to mention speaking, they didn't even have the courage to look directly at this Iron Cavalry.
After a moment, Liu Zhenshou finally led with his scalp and walked to the Blazing Flame Iron Cavalry, respectfully saying: "This humble official greets the Seal Holder, Elder Zhong."
Seal Holder Xiao in the carriage glanced indifferently at Liu Zhenshou, his tone extremely indifferent: "Hmm, has anyone from the Wushang Sword Sect arrived?"
"They have."
Liu Zhenshou replied in a low voice without daring to raise his head.
"Hmph!"
Seal Holder Xiao snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure as he said: "The people from the Wushang Sword Sect are so audacious, since they're here, they haven't come to pay respects to this one!"
Before the words even finished, the people who had previously been standing beside Chen Xuan instantly scattered like birds and beasts. The cultivators from the Immortal Ascension Bureau ran faster than anyone else, afraid of being remembered by Seal Holder Xiao.
Sect Leader Feng even pretended not to know them and retreated to the side with his disciples.
In the blink of an eye, only Zhao Youqian and Liu Yunmeng remained beside Chen Xuan, bearing the gazes of schadenfreude from the surrounding cultivators.
Shua!
Zhao Youqian opened his folding fan and said cheerfully: "Brother Chen, that Seal Holder Xiao wants to meet with the two of you, what do you think?"
Chen Xuan's expression was completely calm, as if he were talking about something trivial: "Then let's go meet him.we can take back the mission reward from the Wushang Sword Sect."
After speaking, Chen Xuan held his long sword, Zhao Youqian swayed his folding fan, and the two walked towards the Blazing Flame Iron Cavalry.
As they walked, the surrounding cultivators all made way.
Everyone looked at Chen Xuan and the other two with mocking eyes, and some even said sarcastically nearby: "The Wushang Sword Sect only has a few kittens, yet they dare to provoke Seal Holder Xiao, truly not knowing when to die!"
"Yeah, after tonight, the Wushang Sword Sect will probably become history!"
Chen Xuan ignored these words and continued on leisurely.
When Liu Zhenshou saw Chen Xuan and the other two arrive, he secretly sighed in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak up for them, but the situation was stronger than people, and he could only choose to bow his head.
When Chen Xuan and the other two appeared, Seal Holder Xiao had been observing them. To his great surprise, one was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the other was merely an ordinary mortal.
How could these two possibly suppress the Red Pavilion? It was simply a fantasy. He said in a deep voice: "Do you two know your crimes?"
Facing the majestic Blazing Flame Iron Cavalry, Chen Xuan asked with interest: "Oh, I'd really like to know what crime Seal Holder Xiao has accused us of."
As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators present all looked at Chen Xuan in astonishment. This guy's courage was too big, actually daring to speak to Seal Holder Xiao like this.
Liu Zhenshou was so anxious, constantly winking at Chen Xuan, but unfortunately the latter acted as if he didn't see it.
"Ridiculous!"
Seal Holder Xiao said in a deep voice: "This one is the esteemed Seal Holder of the Immortal Ascension Bureau in the prefecture city. To deal with a mere mortal like you, do I need to give you a reason!
This one is asking you, did your Wushang Sword Sect bribe Liu Zhenshou to falsely claim that you beheaded the Faceless Ghost and suppressed the Red Pavilion?"
Chen Xuan said indifferently: "The Red Pavilion was already suppressed by my Wushang Sword Sect, is there a need to lie? If Seal Holder Xiao doesn't believe me, you can come with me to the Red Pavilion tonight and you'll know the answer."
"Sharp-tongued!"
Seal Holder Xiao said with a disdainful expression: "This one will grant your wish. Tonight, you will know the consequences of deceiving this one!"
Chen Xuan smiled nonchalantly without speaking.
Seal Holder Xiao didn't say much more. In his view, he was the esteemed Seal Holder of the Immortal Ascension Bureau in the prefecture city, and speaking to a mere mortal was already a great favor. To quibble with this kid would only make him seem petty.
After saying a few words to Zhong Ao beside him, Zhong Ao waved his big hand, and the Blazing Flame Iron Cavalry stationed themselves by the Tongtian River.
Nightfall arrived as promised.
Chen Xuan, Zhao Youqian, and Liu Yunmeng sat on the riverbank, leisurely gazing at the starry sky, accompanied by the gentle breeze, the atmosphere was very relaxed.
However, this relaxed time was too short, and a sarcastic remark broke this leisurely atmosphere.
"Senior Sister, I thought you had secretly slipped away, but I didn't expect you to still be so persistent."
As the voice came, Ying Yuehua walked towards the three of them like a proud peacock.
Liu Yunmeng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said indifferently: "The persistent one is you, junior sister. Last night when you asked me to chase and kill Chu Shaofeng, you had already planned everything, didn't you."
"Giggle."
Ying Yuehua laughed: "Senior Sister, you're not too stupid, but it's one wrong step and every step after is wrong. No one will believe your words, and this mortal's lie will soon be exposed. At that time, you will also be disgraced along with him.
By the way, I didn't come here to mock you. I came to tell you that the people of the Liyang Sect have already started lighting the ghost smoke. The Red Pavilion will be here soon."
After speaking, she turned and left. Just as she took a step, Liu Yunmeng's voice came from behind:
"Junior sister, you're the one who's wrong!"
A disdainful cold smile appeared on Ying Yuehua's face as she swaggered away.
————
Unknowingly, dark clouds covered the moon's light.
Suddenly, gusts of gloomy wind blew up on the Tongtian River, making people shiver.
Along with the gloomy wind came an eerie green light, particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
Before that green light got close, everyone could clearly see its true form.
"The Red Pavilion is here!"
Some cultivator on thepier shouted, and everyone's gaze turned to the Tongtian River.
Chen Xuan glanced into the distance and revealed a confident smile: "Let's go, the show is about to start. As protagonists, we should make our appearance."
Zhao Youqian said with a smile: "Today is the day our Wushang Sword Sect will make a name for itself!"
The two talked and laughed as they walked towards where the Blazing Flame Iron Cavalry was stationed, with Liu Yunmeng following closely behind. She was curious what kind of method Young Master Chen would use to resolve today's matter.
As the Red Pavilion drew closer.
All cultivators on thepier gathered in one place, their eyes focused on the Red Pavilion. Soon, someone noticed something was wrong.
"Ghost clouds! There are ghost clouds floating above the Red Pavilion!"
Seal Holder Xiao could naturally see the ghost clouds. He glanced at Chen Xuan beside him, expecting this mortal to be scared to his knees begging for mercy, but the other party remained completely calm, which instantly made him feel a hint of displeasure.
"Your Wushang Sword Sect keeps claiming you beheaded the Faceless Ghost and suppressed the Red Pavilion, right? How do you explain these ghost clouds?"
Chen Xuan said with a calm expression: "I have a hobby, I like killing ghosts. After beheading the Faceless Ghost last night, I heard from Liu Zhenshou that this Red Pavilion could transport ghosts, so I sent it back. I plan to kill another wave."
Arrogant! This mortal is too arrogant in his speech!
Seal Holder Xiao had an urge to slap this mortal to death. He had personally fought the Red Pavilion in the past and couldn't subdue it, needing to ask an elder from the Liyang Sect to handle it. This kid actually dared to make such a wild claim.
"At this point, you still dare to argue!"
Chen Xuan was completely unaffected and said casually: "Just come aboard with me and you'll know."
After speaking, a gloomy and arrogant voice came from the Red Pavilion:
"The person in charge of Dongyang Prefecture, listen well. You have until this incense stick burns to come before this General, or you will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent!
As cultivators, they could all feel the powerful pressure emanating from that voice. There was definitely a terrifying Ghost General on the Red Pavilion.
Seal Holder Xiao also felt a hint of threat hearing this voice, but with the Liyang Sect people here, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to say to Chen Xuan beside him:
"This is what you call suppressing the Red Pavilion. After this one suppresses it, I'll deal with you!"
After speaking, Seal Holder Xiao leaped into the air, flew onto the Tongtian River, released his own pressure, and said sternly: "What demon dares to run wild in Dongyang Prefecture? Come out and die quickly!"
When the cultivators on thepier heard this, they instantly felt that the terrifying pressure on their bodies had lessened by half, and they began to praise one after another.
"Seal Holder Xiao is indeed a great being of the Nurturing Spirit realm. With just one sentence, he subdued that demon!"
"The Red Pavilion will definitely become history today!"
"..."
At the same time, the Red Pavilion suddenly stopped in the middle of the river. A green-faced, fanged ghost, exuding a gloomy aura all over its body, floated out of the boat.
The ghost clouds floating above the Red Pavilion also revealed their true form. They were actually fully armed ghost soldiers. As soon as they appeared, they gave people a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city.
The green-faced ghost glanced at Seal Holder Xiao and showed a look of contempt: "You are not worthy of being my opponent!"
"Seeking death!"
Seal Holder Xiao came to Dongyang Prefecture to establish his authority. He had every right to take over the ancestral land of the Wushang Sword Sect.
Being looked down upon by a Ghost General in front of so many people, his face was naturally lost. After roaring angrily, a treasure bead emitting a scorching light suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Forgive!"
Words followed the law, the treasure bead emitted a dazzling light, turning night into day, then like a brilliant meteor, it fell from the sky towards the Red Pavilion.
"Trivial tricks!"
The green-faced ghost said disdainfully, then slowly raised its hand and grabbed towards the bead. The bead instantly dimmed.
When Seal Holder Xiao saw this, he knew something was wrong and turned to escape, but saw a ghost claw grabbing towards him. He subconsciously shouted:
"Elder Zhong, save me!"
Before the words even finished, everyone saw a ghost claw lightly grab in the sky. Seal Holder Xiao, like a broken kite, fell towards the Tongtian River...
