Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 304 Opening of the Pavilion

Soon after, the processions for the other two main halls also arrived one after another.

The Holy Light Temple lived up to its reputation as the most ostentatious temple. Its vehicle was gilded and imposing. The leader was also dressed in a brocade robe, with an extremely arrogant expression. His eyes swept over the other teams with undisguised contempt.

The transport team from the Heavenly Palace was more low-key, with each member being taciturn and exuding a gloomy aura.

The people in the three main halls met in the air, exchanging no pleasantries, only contempt and scrutiny.

The team leaders exchanged glances, the air thick with tension, as if a single spark could ignite a major battle.

The three main halls already harbored deep resentment, and it was common for them to dislike each other.

However, since they were currently in the territory of Shangjuge, no one dared to easily provoke a conflict under the watchful eye of the Holy Spirit Goddess. This was the only way to dampen the other party's momentum.

The moment when the entire transport team arrived.

Guan Xun's scanning gaze suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

somebody is coming.

The auras are very strong, and there's more than one person involved.

Suddenly, several figures descended onto the field, moving with lightning speed and leaving only blurry afterimages.

Upon closer inspection, I was surprised to find several familiar faces among them.

Mud Woman and Eagle Eye are among them.

Without a doubt, the twelve elders of Shangju Pavilion were standing before them.

Their expressions were solemn, and without any unnecessary words, they quickly divided the tasks after gathering everyone in the group to one side, and went straight to the transport convoys of each hall to begin a detailed inspection.

They meticulously checked each bottle and jar of the black liquid in the carriage, verifying not only the quantity but also the quality. They even went so far as to personally take a drop of the liquid and feel it on their fingertips, not letting any error slip by.

Guan Xun stood aside, casually glancing at the commotion of their inspection before carefully examining his surroundings.

The inspection was quickly completed, and the elders walked to the center of the venue, their gazes sweeping over the convoys of the three main halls before finally settling on the direction of the Holy Light Hall.

The red-robed elder stroked his beard, a satisfied look on his face: "The Holy Light Hall truly lives up to its reputation as the head of the three great halls. This batch of crystal black liquid is pure in color and rich in spiritual energy, and its quality is even better than last time, and the quantity has also increased."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Holy Light Temple immediately revealed a satisfied smile, raised his chin even higher, and his eyes swept over the other teams with a look of pride.

The twelve elders said no more and flashed to the front of the giant door of the Upper Residence Pavilion, which was engraved with a double phoenix totem.

Immediately, they nimbly stepped aside to the sides, bowed deeply, their backs bent at a ninety-degree angle, their posture extremely respectful.

Upon seeing this display, everyone in the three main halls felt a chill and bowed in salute.

"Miss, don't just stand there!" Xuan Hei glanced at Guan Xun out of the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly reminded her.

Guan Xun raised an eyebrow and lowered his head slightly.

A red figure flashed through her mind. It seemed that an important person was coming. Could it be the Holy Spirit Goddess?

Just as her thoughts were flashing, a green shadow gracefully descended from the sky, carrying an indescribable elegance, like a bluebird spreading its wings and descending from the clouds.

The newcomer was dressed in a blue robe, with two long white feathers tucked into his hair.

Those ears were pointed and curled upwards, completely different from human ears.

After landing, she raised her pair of sharp claws covered with fine scales and took a few steps forward.

The claws are bluish-gold in color, typical of animal claws.

The newcomer was not human; he was a half-human, half-beast, like the Lord of the City That Never Sleeps.

Guan Xun's pupils contracted slightly. Had she recently stirred up a den of half-human, half-beast creatures? How come she keeps running into them everywhere?

The woman in front of her had a slightly lower cultivation level than her, but the difference was minimal, probably only a few levels lower.

The moment the woman's claws touched the ground, the twelve elders shouted in unison, their loud voices echoing throughout the entire arena: "Greetings, Lord Qingzong!"

The only ones who could command such respect from the elders were the four personal guards under the Holy Spirit Goddess.

Qingzong ignored everyone's greetings, his cold gaze sweeping directly over the transport teams from the three main halls, his eyes like knives that seemed to pierce through people's hearts.

When his gaze fell on Guan Xun, he paused slightly, as if he had noticed something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

How could there be someone with such formidable strength among the transport team?

In just a moment, his gaze was quickly shifted away.

She turned to the elders and asked in a cold voice, "What were the results of the examination?"

The elders quickly replied, "Lord Qingzong, everything is normal."

"it is good."

Qingzong nodded in satisfaction, then stepped aside and shouted, "Open the pavilion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the grand gate of the Upper Residence Pavilion opened directly from the inside.

The door hinges groaned, and as soon as a crack appeared, a powerful aura burst forth.

The shockwave whipped everyone's robes into a frenzy, only to dissipate in an instant.

Once the door was fully opened, a unique, ancient aura emanated from the pavilion, so heavy that it made one's heart sink.

This single wisp is enough to prove that the Upper Residence Pavilion has existed for far longer than any imaginable time.

“Miss, you will be following our transport team. Do whatever we do.” Xuan Hei lowered his voice and leaned closer to instruct, “This is not the True Inheritance Hall. You must not be reckless.”

When Guan Xun first joined the transport team, he went off to gain experience. He didn't have time to explain the rules of offering sacrifices at the Shangju Pavilion to her in detail. Now, he could only solemnly remind her not to cause any trouble, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Guan Xun nodded in agreement, and when he looked up, he saw that the transport teams from the other main halls had already taken the lead and headed towards the gate of Shangju Pavilion.

They then all stopped in front of the giant gate.

Seeing Xuan Hei's figure move, she immediately followed.

The two of them soon stood in front of the giant gate.

The elders, who had been standing with their heads bowed, straightened their backs only after the Upper Residence Pavilion was opened.

Guan Xun happened to walk past the mud-covered woman, who was first startled, then her pupils shrank in astonishment.

This girl... she actually came back from that man-eating city that never sleeps?!

Her cloudy eyes swept over him, a storm raging in her heart.

In such a short time, this girl's strength has increased to such a terrifying level; she must have already broken through the City That Never Sleeps.

Heavens! His cultivation level is actually slightly higher than hers!

The other elders who had met Guan Xun also noticed the dramatic changes in her, and they were all shocked, their expressions filled with disbelief.

While the elders were still in shock and disbelief, Guan Xun and Xuan Hei stood at the entrance of Shangju Pavilion.

"start!"

Xuanhei gave the order in a deep voice, and the guards protecting the carriage immediately loosened the tightly bound ropes and carefully took down the crystal black liquid they were escorting.

Bai Ze didn't understand either, so he just copied what others did, which made him seem rather flustered.

The crowd lined up in an orderly queue and passed the liquid from hand to hand, until finally all the black crystal liquid was placed in front of the giant gate of the Upper Residence Pavilion.

The twelve elders immediately dispersed, each guarding their own area, and headed straight for the convoys of each hall, their sharp eyes carefully monitoring every movement within the procession.

Qingzong stood with his hands behind his back, steadily standing at the entrance of Shangju Pavilion.

Her gaze was sharp, fixed on the transport teams that were arriving one after another.

"Let's go." Xuanhei waved his hand, signaling the transport team to follow him into the main hall on the first floor of the Upper Residence Pavilion.

Guan Xun naturally followed.

As soon as she stepped across the threshold, she felt as if the blood in her body had stopped for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, an aura far more powerful and imposing than that outside the door rushed in.

She looked around, with only one thought in her mind.

A magnificent hall that stretches to the horizon.

The dome is so high it seems to touch the sky, and dozens of giant sandalwood pillars, each requiring several people to encircle, stand atop the hall.

The floor was also paved with sandalwood, with a thin layer of dust accumulating in the gaps.

The hall was deathly silent; every footstep was swallowed up. A chill seeped from every crack, and a sense of dread crept into everyone's hearts, causing them to unconsciously hold their breath.

Deep inside the hall, dozens of longitudinal corridors are separated by massive rosewood pillars, stretching as far as the eye can see, with only a gray haze visible.

Xuanhei pointed to several long corridors on the right and said in a deep voice, "We'll have to move all the crystal black liquid from the pavilion entrance into there later. It'll take a lot of time."

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

No wonder the transport team, regardless of gender, were all muscular and exuded brute strength.

It turns out this job looks respectable, but it's actually quite physically demanding...
