Chapter 440: The Miserable Four Pavilions Only Starfall Pavilion Remains!
Nalan Yanran froze upon hearing Wu Tian's words.
He's always known what we were doing?
Then… when my teacher and I were talking about him at night…
No way, right?!
At that thought, her cheeks flushed red like the morning sun, and she suddenly didn't know where to look.
Being watched over by the man she liked there was nothing sweeter.
But having him discover her secret thoughts…
This was beyond embarrassing!
Wu Tian, of course, was completely clueless as to why Nalan Yanran suddenly looked so flustered.
However, someone who understood perfectly was Cai Lin.
As a woman herself, she instantly knew what was going on.
It seemed that Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran had been having "private talks" at night!
But… they were overthinking it!
Their "Lord Guardian Spirit" might be able to track their location, but he definitely couldn't hear their conversations.
If he could, he wouldn't have been outsmarted by Xiao Yi Xian and the other sisters and forced to surrender so many times!
A woman's mind was as deep as the ocean, and Wu Tian didn't want to dive into that abyss right now.
He simply smiled gently and said,
"Let's go. Since the Yellow Springs Pavilion and the Earth Spirit Gate have dared to provoke Cai Lin Pavilion, I will make sure they pay the price.
But for now, you and Zi Yan should still head to the Tian Shan Blood Pool it's a rare opportunity for both of you."
There was no need to say much for now some things were best discussed in private at night.
The women naturally had no objections.
Wu Tian waved his sleeve, and in an instant, they all vanished from sight.
By the time they reappeared, they were standing on a massive stone platform.
"Who are you?!"
A shocked, trembling voice rang out.
Wu Tian and the others turned to see a gray robed elder with an extremely sly and wretched appearance, staring at them in fear.
"A Dou Zong?"
Wu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Goldstone from the Devourer Gold Tribe?"
The old man flinched.
"Y Yes… I am Goldstone… Senior, may I ask… why you have come here?"
As a Dou Zong, Goldstone immediately recognized the spatial fluctuations that had just occurred.
Which meant… among these newcomers, at least one of them was a Dou Zun!
Already timid by nature, Goldstone didn't even pretend to act like a Dou Zong expert.
Instead, he bowed deeply, his posture submissive.
"Are you willing to join Cai Lin Pavilion?"
Wu Tian got straight to the point.
Goldstone didn't even hesitate.
"I am willing!"
"Good. Gather all your Devourer Gold Tribe members here.
Once I return, I'll take you all back to Phoenix Perch Mountain."
"Yes, Pavilion Master!"
Just like that, Wu Tian had recruited a Dou Zong expert and an entire specialized tribe in a matter of seconds.
But upon closer thought, Goldstone's quick submission made sense.
Yes, he was afraid of death but that wasn't the only reason.
He was also seeking protection for his people.
Despite controlling the Tianmu Mountain Range, his tribe suffered every three years when outsiders invaded for the Tian Shan Blood Pool.
They had nowhere to run because of the Four Pavilions.
The Devourer Gold Tribe was trapped in a delicate balance, preventing any one Pavilion from fully claiming the mountain range.
Neither side wanted them gone, but neither side protected them either.
They were stuck, living like pawns in a game between the Four Pavilions.
Previously, Goldstone had set up checkpoints and charged tolls to strengthen his tribe.
But it was a temporary solution to a permanent problem.
If they ever rebelled, they would be wiped out.
So the moment Goldstone realized who Wu Tian was, he didn't even hesitate.
This wasn't about his own survival this was about protecting his entire race.
Leaving the Four Pavilions to fight amongst themselves was a price he was willing to pay.
Wu Tian didn't dwell on Goldstone any longer.
Instead, he turned toward the mist shrouded formation and smirked playfully.
"Well, well… I didn't expect them to arrive so soon."
The others instinctively followed his gaze into the fog.
Moments later
A graceful, multicolored silhouette emerged from the mist.
Her noble presence, highborn elegance, and phoenix like aura made it clear
It was none other than Feng Qing'er of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!
But she wasn't alone.
Another figure slowly stepped out from the mist beside her
A man carrying a small sword on his back.
There was no need to guess
This was Tang Ying from the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion!
Wu Tian barely spared him a glance.
Tang Ying was so weak that even Wu Tian's two Dou Huang lackeys were stronger than him.
"Do you two know him?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly, speaking to his two so called followers.
The two Dou Huang lackeys immediately replied in unison.
"No, we don't."
"Oh? Really?
Isn't he one of your Pavilion's disciples?"
Wu Tian's voice turned ice cold.
At that moment, the two Dou Huang elders stiffened their expressions turning grim.
"When did you figure it out?"
Wu Tian calmly replied.
"You two obeyed his every order, acting as his lackeys to provoke me.
Did you really think I wouldn't notice?
At first, I thought about killing you both immediately but then I figured…
Why not let you reunite with him first?"
His voice chilled to the bone.
"Now, since you're all together
You can all die together.
Goldstone, I assume some of your magical beasts are hungry?"
Goldstone bowed respectfully.
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
The two Dou Huang lackeys paled.
They were indeed elders from the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion.
Their original mission was to sneak into Tianmu Mountain using a secret artifact and help Tang Ying eliminate competitors.
That way, the other three Pavilion heirs would be weakened, giving the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion an edge in the upcoming Four Pavilion Tournament.
But then Tang Ying had foolishly lusted after Cai Lin and Zi Yan.
And so, he sent them to test Wu Tian's strength.
That one mistake had sealed their fate.
Now, it was too late to escape.
Looking at Tang Ying, they felt nothing but regret.
The Four Pavilions had officially become the "Four Fools Pavilion."
With the Starfall Pavilion as the only one left untouched, the other three had all brought death upon themselves.
They had laughed at Feng Lei Pavilion's Hong Chen.
Now, they were the ones suffering the same fate.
And Wang Chen?
That fool actually helped the enemy… and got his head stomped into paste.
Trying to avoid exposure, they had distanced themselves from Tang Ying and pretended to be weak followers.
But Wu Tian had seen through them from the start.
Now, they understood
Wu Tian had never needed Dou Huang lackeys.
He had simply been waiting to kill them all at once.
Before they could even react, a terrifying force pinned them in place.
Tang Ying who had just appeared
Didn't even have time to process what was happening.
In an instant he was thrown at their feet.
"Haah… the entire Central Plains is about to change."
That was Tang Ying's last thought before he was torn apart by countless gnashing fangs.
"AAAAHHHH !!!"
