"I understand, I'll do my best!" Xue Qiao'er replied.
Afterward, Li Changsheng said a few more words and prepared to hang up.
Learning that Qin Yi could easily kill even a great protector of the Miaobao Pavilion, Li Changsheng felt very relieved that Xue Qiao'er was with Qin Yi.
He no longer urged Xue Qiao'er to return to the capital or anything like that.
"By the way, Deputy Hall Master, since it's been confirmed that Miaobao Pavilion is behind this, what are your plans next?" Xue Qiao'er asked as Li Changsheng was about to hang up.
"What else can we do? Miaobao Pavilion broke the rules and attacked our Order Hall members. They must pay the price!" Li Changsheng said. "Otherwise, other forces will not take us seriously in the future, and the authority of our Order Hall will be lost, and we will no longer be able to maintain order in the martial arts world!"
Xue Qiao'er listened and nodded in agreement, "Indeed! Then Deputy Hall Master, please be careful yourself!"
"Don't worry, if our Order Hall can't even suppress Miaobao Pavilion, how can we suppress the entire martial arts world!"
"..."
After chatting for a few more sentences, they hung up. Xue Qiao'er put away her phone and walked back to Qin Yi's side.
She told Qin Yi everything she had discussed with Li Changsheng, without any concealment.
Qin Yi listened, a look of interest appearing on his face, and said, "Isn't your Order Hall known as the number one force in the martial arts world? Miaobao Pavilion actually dared to attack you proactively. They are truly bold!"
Xue Qiao'er heard a hint of sarcasm in Qin Yi's tone, as if he was implying something.
She snorted and said, "Miaobao Pavilion will soon pay the price for this!"
After saying that, she turned and walked towards Yunwu Mountain.
Later, led by Qin Yi, they arrived at the core area of Yunwu Mountain, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was most concentrated.
Qin Yi took out the spirit gathering array, and waves of spiritual energy from heaven and earth began to converge from all directions.
Xue Qiao'er felt it and her face showed surprise.
Qin Yi glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said nothing, directly sitting down cross-legged and circulating his cultivation technique.
Seeing this, Xue Qiao'er wasted no time, also sitting down nearby and circulating her own cultivation technique to cultivate!
With such dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she couldn't afford to waste it!
After a while, Qin Yi opened his eyes and saw Xue Qiao'er cultivating beside him. He shook his head, ignored her, and closed his eyes to continue cultivating.
As his cultivation technique circulated, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth attracted by the spirit gathering array surged into his body madly!
More than half of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by the spirit gathering array from all directions was absorbed by him!
So, not long after, Xue Qiao'er felt it. She opened her eyes and looked at Qin Yi, her delicate eyebrows involuntarily furrowed, and her beautiful face filled with astonishment!
She murmured to herself, "What kind of cultivation technique is this? So powerful!!!"
...
Miaobao Pavilion Headquarters.
Yu Tongbao had been waiting for news from the great protector.
However, after several hours, he still hadn't received any news about the great protector successfully capturing Xue Qiao'er. A sense of unease involuntarily arose in his heart.
A moment later, the second protector of Miaobao Pavilion, Luo You, rushed over.
"Pavilion Master, something terrible has happened..."
Hearing this, Yu Tongbao's unease intensified by another degree. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened???"
"Just a while ago, the soul lamps of the great protector, Lei Ku, and Tuo Zhou were extinguished!" Luo You replied.
"What?"
Yu Tongbao exclaimed in shock.
Lei Ku and Tuo Zhou were the two experts from Miaobao Pavilion who had gone to Haicheng with the great protector!
"Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master..."
Just then, another martial artist from Miaobao Pavilion rushed in from outside with a look of panic.
Seeing him, Yu Tongbao quickly stepped forward and asked, "What is it now???"
"Pavilion Master, our attack on the Order Hall has been exposed. The Order Hall already knows about it!"
The martial artist replied, "According to the latest intelligence we've received, Deputy Hall Master Li Changsheng of the Order Hall is already planning to deal with us!"
"It's estimated that the people from the Order Hall will be here soon!"
Hearing this, Yu Tongbao's face became so dark that it looked like it would bleed.
However, the grim expression on his face soon dissipated, replaced by a look of ruthlessness. "Since that's the case, then we'll have to move up the plan..."
Luo You asked, "Pavilion Master, what do you mean?"
Yu Tongbao looked at Luo You and said, "Second Protector, now that the great protector is dead, there are some things I can only entrust to you to do!"
"Whatever the Pavilion Master wishes, just command me. Even if it means going through mountains of knives and seas of fire, your subordinate will do their best to complete it!" Luo You immediately vowed sincerely.
"Good!"
Yu Tongbao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go to Miao Village, Golden Saber Sect, and Lingyun Temple immediately. Find their leaders and tell them they must come over before tonight. Say I have something important to discuss with them!"
Miao Village, Golden Saber Sect, and Lingyun Temple were all martial arts forces in the northwest region.
Furthermore, because the martial arts world in the northwest region had developed quite well in recent years, their strength was very strong, far beyond what the forces in the southern province's martial arts world could compare to.
It was no exaggeration to say that any martial arts force from the northwest region could easily destroy the southern province's martial arts world with a single hand.
Luo You heard Yu Tongbao's words but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood in place with a conflicted expression and said, "Pavilion Master, our relationship with Miao Village, Golden Saber Sect, and Lingyun Temple is just average. If I, out of the blue, go and ask them to come, will they come?"
Miaobao Pavilion was rich and not weak, but the forces like Miao Village were not their subordinates or vassals. Why should they listen to them?
Most importantly, due to the special nature of Miao Village, it had been monitored by the Order Hall for many years. Miao King Jin Xiuxian had been inconvenient to do anything, and had not left Miao Village in recent years!
Yu Tongbao took out a token from his怀. The token was pure white, and its material was unknown! Apart from a pattern on it, it looked ordinary and unremarkable!
If Qin Yi were here at this moment, seeing the pattern on the white token, he would recognize it at once. This pattern was exactly the same as the tattoo on his wrist!
Yu Tongbao handed the token to Luo You. Luo You took it and asked, confused, "Pavilion Master, this is..."
"Take this with you. When you see Jin Xiuxian, Mao Xiang, and Abbot Hui Guang, they will definitely listen to you and come!" Yu Tongbao said.
Although Luo You didn't understand, seeing Yu Tongbao's confident demeanor, he didn't ask any more questions.
He responded, took the token, turned around, and left the room, heading for Miao Village, Golden Saber Sect, and Lingyun Temple!
As soon as Luo You left, Yu Tongbao took out his phone and made another call...
