Chapter 257 - Duan Chaofeng’s Surprise
Chapter 257 Duan Chaofeng’s Surprise
Almost effortlessly, Xu Ning easily dealt with the top combatants of the Wind Parasol Pavilion.
Afterwards, Xu Ning sealed their dao realm power and controlled them all.
Xu Ning did not kill them. As long as he controlled the dao realm masters and the disciples of this stronghold, he could negotiate with the Wind Parasol Pavilion.
Xu Ning would only let them go if they offered enough resources.
Afterwards, Xu Ning easily controlled the entire Wind Parasol Pavilion.
“The process of taking back the old grounds of the Swallow Heron Sect is easier than I thought…’ After taking control of the situation, Xu Ning wrote a letter and sent it back to the temporary camp of the Swallow Heron Sect in Guanghe Canton.
Before coming here, he had asked Cheng Zengtao and the others to prepare.
Once they receive his news, they could begin moving their people.
Compared to Guanghe Canton, the environment of Chuiyun Mountains was more suitable for the growth of his disciples.
This place was rich in resources and had a suitable environment. It was very suitable for martial arts cultivation.
After sending the news to Guanghe Canton, Xu Ning also sent this news to the Harmony King Mansion.
Retaking the old grounds of the Swallow Heron Sect was a test for Xu Ning.
State Guqing.
Harmony King Mansion.
“Your Highness.”
Inside the room, Zhang He and Duan Chaofeng were talking
“My subordinates just sent news that a Night Beast has appeared on an overseas archipelago. That Night Beast seems to be in the mid level dao realm, so we can try to capture it.”
Zhang He said to Duan Chaofeng.
“A Night Beast has appeared? Are you sure?”
Even Duan Chaofeng was surprised when he heard about the Night Beast.
A Night Beast was one of the six apex demon beasts in State Wansheng. Even if it matured normally, it could easily reach the peak of the dao realm.
Moreover, the bloodline of these demon beasts was extremely ancient, and they all had some extremely special abilities.
However, the six apex demon beasts rarely showed up. But once they did, they would be targeted by major forces, with the intent to capture them. “I can confirm this.”
Zhang He said, “Because this piece of information was obtained from the people around Princess Mo Lan. Princess Mo Lan should be currently preparing her people to go overseas to capture the Night Beast.”
“Mo Lan is going to capture the Night Beast…”
After Duan Chaofeng heard this, he leaned back in his chair with a pondering look in his eyes.
“Which forces are she planning to dispatch? And when will she take action?”
Duan Chaofeng asked.
Although the Harmony King did not want to have a conflict with the Promise King, Duan Chaofeng secretly bribed some people around Princess Mo Lan.
Therefore, Duan Chaofeng knew a lot about Princess Mo Lan.
“Princess Mo Lan seems to want to use the Green Edge Sect and the Wind Parasol Pavilion as her main force, and she is also looking for a Master Tamer…”
Zhang He told Duan Chaofeng what he knew.
“Using the Green Edge Sect and the Wind Parasol Pavilion as her main force…”
Duan Chaofeng sneered. “I’m afraid they will be cannon fodder.”
“Although this Night Beast is only in the mid level of the dao realm, its ability is extremely special. It has many strange methods. Even a high level dao realm master can fail miserably…”
Duan Chaofeng sneered at the two sects.
“This time, Princess Mo Lan is very concerned about capturing this Night Beast. She seems to be intending to capture this Night Beast in order to give it to the Empress. Therefore, it is very likely that she will go out to sea personally.”
Zhang He reminded.
“Mo Lan this woman…”
Duan Chaofeng’s expression turned cold.
Princess Mo Lan had a good relationship with the Empress, and the Empress doted on her. This was why Mo Lan was so high up in the ranks of princesses.
Because of her relationship with the Empress, even some unfavored princes and princesses were polite to her.
“Since Mo Lan wants to go out to sea personally, I have to go there as well.” Duan Chaofeng immediately made the decision. He didn’t know if he really wanted the Night Beast, or if he wanted to compete with Princess Mo Lan.
“Zhang He, go and arrange for people to go out to sea and find the Master Tamer.”
Duan Chaofeng said, “We will leave whenever Mo Lan leaves.”
“Prince…”
Zhang He did not immediately agree, instead he said, “Capturing a Night Beast is risky… Moreover, going out to the sea is dangerous. Anything can happen in the Endless Sea.”
Although State Wansheng was widely regarded as the center of the martial arts world, no one could fully understand the secrets of the Endless Sea.
Duan Chaofeng frowned. He knew the risks of the Endless Sea.
“It’s fine.”
Duan Chaofeng said, “I will ask my father to send Dong Ji to accompany us to the sea.”
Dong Ji was a guest of the Harmony King Mansion, but his status was extremely high. He usually followed the Harmony King and was personally dispatched by him. His strength was in the seventh stage of the dao realm. “Mmm…”
After hearing Duan Chaofeng’s words, Zhang He paused for a moment and didn’t continue to persuade him.
“Then I will go and do my work.”
Zhang He said.
“Go ahead.”
Duan Chaofeng gestured.
Zhang He had been with Duan Chaofeng ever since he was born, so Duan Chaofeng trusted him a lot. Almost all of the important matters were handled by Zhang He himself.
Not long after Zhang He left, another guard came in.
“Your Highness, there is news from the Swallow Heron Sect.”
The guard came in and said, “Its Sect Master, Xu Ning, has reclaimed the site of the Swallow Heron Sect. He is currently arranging for the sect to relocate, and he wanted to report this to you.” “Oh?”
Duan Chaofeng was taken aback.
He asked in surprise, “Is there any letter?” “There is.”
The guard handed the letter written by Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng.
Duan Chaofeng took it and read it.
Duan Chaofeng then waved his hand, gesturing for the guard to leave.
Afterwards, Duan Chaofeng got up and walked to the window with a faint smile on his face.
“I found a treasure!”
Duan Chaofeng muttered to himself.
He learned from Xu Ning’s letter that Xu Ning had broken through to the core materialization realm and easily reclaimed the Swallow Heron Sect’s old grounds from the Wind Parasol Pavilion.
‘It’s ridiculous to cross two realms in such a short time…!
Duan Chaofeng thought to himself, ‘Even if there are coincidences, this kind of progress is extremely rare. If Xu Ning matures successfully, won’t he easily break through to the high level of the dao realm in the future…’
‘At that time, Xu Ning will be like Dong Ji to my father…’
Duan Chaofeng planned to invest heavily into Xu Ning.
‘In a few days, I will personally go to Chuiyun Mountains…’
Duan Chaofeng had promised Xu Ning that once Xu Ning took back the old sect grounds, he would personally go and congratulate him and give him a big gift. ‘What should I give…’
Duan Chaofeng pondered.
Wind Parasol Pavilion. “What?!”
The Pavilion Master of the Wind Parasol Pavilion, Cen Yumou, looked at the disciple who sent the message in disbelief. “You mean, the base on Chuiyun Mountain was seized by the people of the Swallow Heron Sect, and everyone is now under their control?”
Cen Yumou was flustered and exasperated.
“That is the case, Pavilion Master.”
The disciple braced himself and said.
“A bunch of useless people!”
Cen Yumou was furious.
This matter would definitely soon spread throughout State Guqing, and he would become the laughing stock of everyone.
Moreover, if Princess Mo Lan heard about this, he would lose a lot of face.
“What is the specific process of them taking it back?”
Cen Yumou controlled his emotions with difficulty and asked the messenger disciple.
“No specific information was sent back.”
The disciple responded. Cen Yumou’s face was pale. He didn’t say a word.
He waved his hand and motioned for the disciple to leave.
The disciple hesitated for a moment before saying forcefully, “Pavilion Master, the news from the Swallow Heron Sect said that if we want to let the elders, deacons, and disciples that are being controlled go, we have to pay resources in exchange for them…”
Cen Yumou clenched his fists.
After saying this, the disciple quickly left, afraid that he would continue to face Cen Yumou’s anger.
“They’re too much!”
Cen Yumou roared alone in the room.
After a long time, he finally forced himself to calm down.
‘Did the Harmony Prince send someone?’
Cen Yumou suppressed his anger and thoughts. ‘Otherwise, how could there be a strong warrior from the Swallow Heron Sect who can completely control the entire base… Someone who can do this must be at least in the fifth stage of the dao realm…’
Cen Yumou felt that his previous estimation was wrong
He felt that Harmony Prince might have been provoked by Princess Mo Lan recently, causing him to decide to take revenge on her, and his Wind Parasol Pavilion was his target.
‘I have to redeem the people in the base…’
Although it was difficult to face, Cen Yumou knew very well that if he let the people in that stronghold be detained by the Swallow Heron Sect, not only would the hearts of the people in the sect be stirred, but it would also be difficult to explain to the other elders of the sect.
This time, his face was swollen from the slap, and he still had to ask the other party if the slap hurt their hand.
Cen Yumou once again felt like he was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
He even wanted to gather the elders of the sect and ask the people of the Green Edge Sect to rush to Chuiyun Mountain and destroy the Swallow Heron Sect.
But logic told him that if he did this, he would directly challenge the authority of the Harmony Prince.
At that time, the Harmony Prince would definitely hit him hard.
Moreover, the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect were both planning to go out to sea to capture the Night Beast, which was the most important agenda right now.
tas
If the matter of the stronghold being seized delayed Princess Mo Lan’s important matters, then they would lose the foundation of the current Wind Parasol Pavilion.
After analyzing the situation, Cen Yumou realized that he could only swallow his anger.
“Come in!”
Cen Yumou suddenly shouted.
Afterwards, a disciple came in. “Go find Elder Xu!” Cen Yumou ordered coldly.
“Understood.”
The disciple moved quickly.
Cen Yumou had made a decision.
He was going to send a sect elder to negotiate the terms of the exchange.
He would think about the future after he got over this current predicament.
