Chapter 406 Xiao Yan Participates in the Competition

The East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion is a name that has great weight in the entire Zhongzhou. As the headquarters of Fenglei Pavilion, it is full of strong people, and its defense is extremely tight, as solid as a copper wall and iron wall.

Since the establishment of Fenglei Pavilion, it has experienced many ups and downs, but the East Pavilion has always stood firm. Its great reputation also gradually emerged in the fierce competition and fighting of forces in the past, and then it has such a respected status at present.

The East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion is located in the Fenglei Mountains on the edge of the Northern Territory. The geographical environment here is very peculiar. Perhaps because of the high terrain, there are often thunders and the weather is even more changeable.

It was sunny and clear just now, but in a moment, it might be covered with dark clouds and ushered in a thunderstorm with thunder, which is unpredictable.

The entire Fenglei Mountains are under the influence of the East Pavilion, as if it has become their exclusive back garden. Those forces that lack strength only have awe for this place, and dare not covet it at all, let alone easily get involved.

…

The Fenglei Mountains have been very lively these days. Countless people rushed from all directions and gathered towards the Leishan Mountain in the mountains.

Because its peak, the towering and imposing place, is the venue for the Four-sided Pavilion Conference, the East Pavilion of Fenglei Pavilion.

At the foot of the Fenglei Mountains, a stone road stretches out, like a sleeping winding giant python, climbing up along the mountain until it disappears into the depths of the distant dark clouds in the sky.

Pedestrians walk on it, like ants, and feel their own insignificance and vagueness against the backdrop of this majestic mountain and the vast world.

On both sides of the mountain road, silver giant trees stand, each of which is strange. It has no branches and leaves, and looks like a straight pillar of heaven, revealing majesty and vigor.

The strong power of thunder and lightning was surging in the air, and wisps of thunder rose from the treetops, winding out like a spirit snake, and finally sank into the deep dark clouds in the sky.

This is the unique thunder wood of the Fenglei Mountain Range. It is precisely because these silver trees continuously transmit thunder power that the dark clouds in the sky never disperse all year round, as if an eternal thunder pool was hanging upside down.

Practicing thunder attribute skills here is like a fish entering a deep pool and a bird returning to a lush forest. It can achieve twice the result with half the effort. It naturally attracts countless thunder practitioners and regards this place as a supreme holy land.

Fenglei Pavilion has always been known for its control of the power of wind and thunder. The thunder attribute is rare and powerful among all attributes. Fenglei Pavilion has such natural charm, just like a dragon in water. It has risen rapidly and can always stand at the forefront of the tide in the long river of time, prospering forever and gaining a great reputation.

On the top of Leishan Mountain, a square spreads out. Its material is quite similar to that on both sides of the mountain road. It is a dazzling silver color, and there seems to be a hidden charm in the light.

On the square, there are some potholes scattered around, like the mottled memory of the earth. It is not difficult to imagine that this is where the disciples of Fenglei Pavilion practice and hone their skills.

On the top of Leishan Mountain, the most eye-catching thing is the towering silver tower. Although its scale is not as large as the famous Dan Tower in Zhongzhou, its majestic figure of thirty or forty feet is still proud of the world, piercing the sky, like a sword that reaches the sky, showing its sharp edge.

Outside the tower, the lightning crisscrosses, like a dancing snake, flashing non-stop, as if telling the great reputation and mysterious background of Fenglei Pavilion. The top of the tower, like a sharp blade piercing the sky, penetrates directly into the thick clouds, hidden in the depths of the clouds, leaving only endless mystery and reverie.

Looking at the top of the mountain, a continuous cluster of buildings came into view. They were connected to each other and were well-arranged. They all belonged to Fenglei Pavilion. These buildings, surrounded by Leishan Mountain and protected by the silver giant tower, were like an indestructible fortress, which made visitors daunted.

In front of the silver square, rows of silver wooden chairs were arranged in an orderly manner, with an excellent view, and the grand view of the square could be seen at a glance.

The upright disciples of Fenglei Pavilion had stern faces and stood solemnly, with a strong aura around them. It was an extraordinary honor to be able to guard here. Obviously, they were not ordinary disciples, but the elite of the sect.

After a while, a crisp bell sounded and echoed, like a prelude that cut through time and space, announcing that the Sifang Pavilion Conference was about to begin.

In an instant, many agile figures rushed out from the top of the mountain, like a meteor chasing the moon, and in an instant they surrounded the entire mountain top tightly.

The eyes of these guards are as sharp as hawks. Any slight movement will not escape their keen insight and will be accurately locked at the first time to protect the conference and keep the peace in all directions.

On the vast square, people gathered, gathering many vigorous young people. Their faces were immature but resolute, and they were all young talents and geniuses from all over Zhongzhou.

These young people with dreams and ambitions all wanted to shine on the stage of this Sifang Pavilion Conference and stand out, in order to gain the favor and respect of the major forces in Zhongzhou, so as to win supreme glory for themselves and their sects and families, start a legendary road, and engrave their own deep marks in this grand event.

At the edge of the bustling crowd, a young man in black clothes stood tall, carrying a long and heavy ruler on his back, exuding a solemn atmosphere. Beside him, a man with fiery red hair and a fierce red dress stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

There seemed to be an invisible aura surrounding the two of them, with a distance of ten feet. Others did not dare to approach and disturb them easily, as if they tacitly acknowledged their unique identities and status, or were afraid of the powerful aura they inadvertently revealed.

"Senior Lin Yan, do you think cousin Xiao Ling will show up at the Sifang Pavilion Conference this time? If he doesn't come, wouldn't it be in vain for me to come here for nothing?" Xiao Yan's eyes swept through the crowd, and after a little exploration, he quickly retracted them, turned to look at Lin Yan beside him, and said with a hint of expectation and doubt.

"Haha, junior Xiao Yan, you don't have to worry so much. Regardless of whether Xiao Ling comes or not, you can participate in this Sifang Pavilion Conference and learn from these proud sons of Zhongzhou. This experience will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."

Lin Yan laughed loudly, and his laughter was like a huge bell. After speaking, he stretched out his broad palm and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder heavily, very easy-going.

Not long after Xiao Ling went to Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan, with the careful cultivation and full support of the elders of Canaan College, did not have any bottlenecks in his cultivation. It didn't take much time for him to successfully break through the Dou Wang realm.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan returned to the Jia Ma Empire, reunited with his family for a short time, and after a warm farewell, he resolutely embarked on a long journey to travel around Zhongzhou.

With the help of the "Earth Demon King" that Xiao Ling had left in the Xiao family, Xiao Yan's risks in Zhongzhou were greatly reduced. Although there were occasional waves, he was able to deal with them skillfully every time and survived the desperate situation, as if there was a divine blessing to help him.

On this vast and boundless Zhongzhou continent full of opportunities, he repeatedly encountered rare treasures and found rare skills. He had constant adventures and was blessed with great fortune. His strength soared like a rocket, and he quickly emerged in the northern region of Zhongzhou and became a rising star that attracted attention from all parties.

Lin Yan left Canaan College quite early. Xiao Yan had never met him before, but he accidentally saw Lin Yan's portrait in the Supreme Freedom Sect, and he knew that there was such a senior.

The first time they met was when the Tianshan Blood Pool was opened last time.

At that time, Lin Yan was attacked and the situation was quite tricky. Xiao Yan happened to see it. Xiao Yan was chivalrous. Seeing this situation, he would not stand idly by. He immediately helped Lin Yan and resolved the crisis. The two of them became friends because of this.

Later, Lin Yan learned that Xiao Yan was Xiao Ling's cousin and they were both students of Canaan College. He felt closer and more identified with Xiao Yan. The more they talked, the more they got along. They soon became good friends and came together to participate in the Sifang Pavilion Conference.

"In fact, I didn't take this limelight thing too seriously. If I provoke some difficult people because of this, it would be bad if I got into a lot of trouble." Xiao Yan touched his nose lightly and said with some helplessness.

I don't know why, maybe it's because of his personality. During the time Xiao Yan was in Zhongzhou, he accidentally provoked many enemies.

The most tricky one was the feud with Glacier Valley. He was also forced to kill a Dou Zong deacon of the Glacier Valley. This was undoubtedly like throwing a huge rock into the calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

After this battle, Xiao Yan's reputation spread rapidly, but it also made the conflict between him and the Glacier Valley more acute, and the Glacier Valley issued a high bounty order for hunting him down.

Xiao Yan was really miserable because of the endless hunting down by the Glacier Valley. However, he silently calculated in his heart that in this Zhongzhou, he still had a cousin to rely on.

Xiao Yan was not the kind of person who had excessive self-esteem and wanted to save face. Besides, when he was practicing before, his cousin also helped a lot, so it didn't matter if it was once or twice.

After Xiao Yan thought about it in his mind, he pulled Lin Yan and the two of them came together to participate in this Sifang Pavilion Conference. He thought in his heart that he had to find an opportunity to get close to the people of Xingyun Pavilion at the conference.

After all, with a cousin there, Xingyun Pavilion could be regarded as his big backer. In this way, Xiao Yan will be considered a person with a background in the future, and he will be able to avoid a lot of troubles when he ventures into Zhongzhou in the future.

"Haha, that's true. I don't know if you have any special physique, but you always have troubles." Lin Yan laughed heartily at first, then changed the subject, with a look of expectation and admiration,

"However, you can be promoted to a high-level Douhuang at this age, and you are also a sixth-grade alchemist. Although there is still a big gap compared to your cousin, you can also be called a talent."

"With such potential and strength, you will have room to gallop and shine in the future on the land of Zhongzhou, and your place will definitely be secure."

"Haha, Senior Lin Yan is polite, it's just luck..."

...

On the square, people gathered, and noisy discussions intertwined into a buzzing sound.

Suddenly, from the depths of the clouds, a huge thunderbolt seemed to be born like an angry dragon, carrying the momentum of destroying the world, and violently swept down.

In an instant, the dazzling light exploded like a scorching sun in the sky, and the endless light spread like a surging tide, almost making everyone present subconsciously close their eyes to resist the sudden attack of the strong light.

When the strong light gradually converged, everyone's eyes were all cast towards the source of the movement. Under the shocking giant lightning, several figures gradually became clear.

They walked out slowly, and the breath around them was like a real storm, causing the surrounding space to vibrate and distort faintly.

Finally, they lightly nodded and landed steadily on the silver wooden chair emitting a cold luster like a feather falling.

"It's the four pavilion masters of Fenglei Pavilion!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and instantly aroused thousands of waves.

"Tsk tsk, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has really sent out its best this time! Look at the person sitting in the middle, could it be the legendary Lei Zun who is elusive?"

After being blinded by the bright light, everyone slowly opened their eyes and focused their sight on the silver wooden chair. Four figures were sitting on it, their aura seemed to be materialized, with them as the core, the space seemed to have layers of visible ripples.

Especially the one in the middle, with an upright posture and an imposing manner, his eyes seemed to flash with lightning when he opened and closed, and the lightning aura lingering around him was like a spirit snake, faintly echoing with the thunderclouds above the sky, attracting everyone's attention, and the sound of exclamation rose and fell, resounding throughout the square.

This person seemed to have an ordinary aura, compared with the powerful pressure of the three people around him, he seemed a little too weak, so ordinary that he was almost inconspicuous. However, Xiao Yan, with his soul perception that far exceeded his peers, keenly captured a completely different dangerous aura.

Even though Xiao Yan had experienced countless adventures and broadened his horizons since he entered Zhongzhou, and had seen many powerful people, he had never felt such a frightening aura.

"As expected of a Dou Zun, this appearance is simply domineering!" At this time, Lin Yan couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement, his eyes full of awe and envy for such a powerful aura.

Immediately, Lin Yan turned his gaze to a white-haired old man beside Lei Zun, and said with interest: "I also heard that more than two years ago, Fenglei North Pavilion's Pavilion Master Fei Tian somehow offended the ruthless guys in the Soul Palace, and was killed mercilessly."

"Look, now the new Pavilion Master of Fenglei North Pavilion was transferred from Fenglei East Pavilion. I don't know what ability this new Pavilion Master has, and whether he can control the situation of the North Pavilion."

"The people of Fenglei Pavilion kill as they say? Is the Soul Palace really that powerful?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard what Lin Yan said, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Yan, with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

Xiao Yan was not completely unaware of the Soul Palace. During his previous training in Zhongzhou, he occasionally caught sporadic news about the Soul Palace from the words of others.

However, the Soul Palace has always been mysterious and unpredictable. The outside world rarely has the opportunity to see the full picture of its many actions, so there are very few news circulating outside. Even if there are occasional rumors, most of them are vague and difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"Xiao Yan, didn't you just kill the people of the Glacier Valley? The Glacier Valley is much more difficult to deal with than the Wind and Thunder Pavilion." Lin Yan smiled and said half-jokingly.

But soon, he put away his relaxed expression, became serious, and warned solemnly: "But, Soul Palace is a powerful organization, you must not provoke it. Their strength is unfathomable, and forces like Fenglei Pavilion are not worth mentioning in front of Soul Palace."

"Soul Palace's style of behavior is also extremely strange and unpredictable. Once you have a grudge with Soul Palace, with your current strength, there is only one way to go."

In fact, Lin Yan knew little about Soul Palace. He just heard Xiao Ling occasionally say one or two words before, but he still knew that Soul Palace was very powerful, so he solemnly reminded Xiao Yan not to provoke it.

Xiao Yan's heart suddenly shuddered when he heard this. After a brief shock, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I know what's going on, and I won't act rashly. I still have this self-knowledge."

"Okay, don't worry too much about these. Just be careful in the future and don't provoke those people from the Soul Palace."

As Lin Yan spoke, he raised his hand and casually patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, his tone revealing a bit of ease.

"Since this Lei Zun has already appeared, the other three Zun are probably coming soon. Maybe Xiao Ling will also come with the Xingyun Pavilion's troops this time..."

"Swish!"

Just as Lin Yan's voice fell, a sharp and piercing sound of breaking wind suddenly exploded on the Thunder Mountain, like a sharp scream, instantly breaking the tranquility in the air.

Immediately, everyone widened their eyes in astonishment, only to see a giant sword whistling over, the sword body flashing with a cold light, bringing a gust of wind whistling, and in just a flash, it appeared above the square as if teleporting, and the majestic momentum made everyone's heart tighten.

The giant sword trembled slightly, and then it turned into countless light points and shattered away, and on it, two figures slowly fell from the sky and landed on the seats. They were the master of Wanjian Pavilion, Jian Zunzhe, and the first person of the young generation of Wanjian Pavilion, Tang Ying.

Not long after the two sat down, a dark light quickly swept from the foot of the mountain, as if it had passed through space and appeared directly on the seat.

Huangquan Zun was not polite at all, waved his sleeves, and sat down calmly. Although Huangquan Zun's strength was not the strongest, he was very stylish. This time, he also brought his apprentice Wang Chen with him, which attracted a lot of attention.

As soon as the three venerables sat down at their seats, they started talking to each other in a familiar manner. The atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.

Now, among the four pavilions, the Xingyun Pavilion is the leader and has the strongest strength. The other three pavilions know that they cannot compete with them on their own, so they can only get closer to each other, closely connect with each other, and keep each other warm. Only in this way can they barely maintain their own status and interests in this fiercely competitive situation.
