Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Chapter 206: A Confused Face (Third Update!)

Elder Peng Lei’s face was so dark it seemed it was about to drip with gloom. He didn’t even have time to react before half of the Flowing Snow Sect’s disciples had been killed.

In the past, they had only heard about how incredibly powerful and terrifying the members of the God-Slaying Pavilion were. The disciples of the Flowing Snow Sect took it as exaggeration, a case of distorting the truth.

Only at this moment, after experiencing it for themselves, did they realize that the God-Slaying Pavilion was even more fearsome than imagined!

In this fleeting moment, a thousand people of their Flowing Snow Sect had been slaughtered, and the disciples of the Flowing Snow Sect hadn’t even touched the hem of a God-Slaying Pavilion disciple’s robe!

They wanted to kill as well, but what could they do?

The mages of the Purple Night Divine Guard had been protected by the Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression all along, the members of the Starry Divine Guard were floating in the void, and as for the Bright Moon Divine Guard, they had called forth demon beasts and were commanding from afar.

How were they supposed to kill?

If it weren’t for the ordinary disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion charging into the crowd, they wouldn’t even be able to touch the hem of the God-Slaying Pavilion’s garments. Just the numerous demon beasts and the floating Starry Divine Guard were enough to slay them all!

Even in death, these disciples of the Flowing Snow Sect died in extreme frustration and embarrassment!

“God-Slaying Pavilion, how could you be so cruel and ruthless!”

Seeing the death of those disciples, Elder Peng Lei’s heart bled.

“Every action has a cause and consequence. It was the Flowing Snow Sect that made the first move on the first day, and my God-Slaying Pavilion only responded on the fifteenth,” Shen Li stated indifferently before waving his hand, “Stop!”

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion immediately withdrew, leaving behind the disciples of the Flowing Snow Sect standing there in terror, along with the corpses on the ground.

“This time, the action was merely to teach the Flowing Snow Sect a lesson. Don’t be so arrogant in the future. After all, the Flowing Snow Sect is just an Eighth-Rank Sect. There are heavens beyond our heaven, and there are people beyond our people,” Shen Li said to Elder Peng Lei, “I, the God-Slaying Pavilion, can spare the rest, but I warn you, this spirit stone vein has been purchased by the God-Slaying Pavilion. If anyone from the Flowing Snow Sect dares to appear here again, death will be without mercy!”

As his words fell, Shen Li waved his hand, and a ray of light struck out, finally landing in Elder Peng Lei’s hands.

It was a gold card, and after sensing it for a moment, Elder Peng Lei found there were one billion Gold Coins inside.

“Get lost!” Shen Li shouted.

With his chest heaving and indescribable anger fizzing within him, Elder Peng Lei, still remarkably composed, took the gold card and led the remaining disciples of the Flowing Snow Sect away from that place.

“Continue mining, from today onwards, your wages are doubled,” Shen Li then turned to the miners, pointing to a pile of small mountain-like black rocks not far away, “Those rocks—keep them piled there, do not discard them.”

“Yes, thank you, Senior!”

The many miners were visibly excited. It was clear from the pills given by the God-Slaying Pavilion that they were completely different from the Flowing Snow Sect.

…

When Elder Peng Lei returned to the Flowing Snow Sect, he immediately went to the council hall.

Guan Quan was still sitting there reading a book. Seeing the rage on Elder Peng Lei’s face, he couldn’t help asking, “Elder Peng, what happened?”

Elder Peng Lei didn’t answer, but instead shouted loudly, “Someone come here!”

“What does the Elder wish to command?”

Someone hurried in from outside.

“No matter what Lii Sheng is doing, tell him to come to the council hall within a minute, NOW!!!” Elder Peng Lei’s voice was explosive.

The person got a fright and promptly bowed before rushing off.

“What on earth happened?” Guan Quan’s brow furrowed.

“The people of God-Slaying Pavilion have gone to Ten Thousand Clouds Mountain again!”

Peng Lei took a big gulp of water, then threw his cup onto the floor, smashing it to pieces.

“Leading them was the Purple Demon King Shen Li from God-Slaying Pavilion. I followed the Sect Master’s instructions and took out all three hundred million gold coins, but Shen Li was utterly unmoved. He was impervious to both soft and hard tactics and simply ordered the murder of over a thousand disciples from our Flowing Snow Sect, then he gave me this gold card.”

Peng Lei took out the gold card and placed it in front of Guan Quan.

“One billion?” Guan Quan frowned even more deeply.

“I really don’t know what’s gotten into those bastards at God-Slaying Pavilion, especially fixating on our Flowing Snow Sect’s spirit stone vein. This one billion gold coins, as per what Shen Li said, is the price for purchasing that vein.”

Peng Lei said furiously, “It’s sheer bullying, too much bullying!!! I spoke all the nice words I could, humbled myself—when have I ever lost so much face in front of others? Even so, God-Slaying Pavilion still took action and killed so many of our disciples!”

“What is Shen Li’s cultivation base?” asked Guan Quan.

“Dragon God Realm Early Stage.”

After venting, Peng Lei finally calmed down a bit and said, “His cultivation speed is simply terrifying. Half a year ago, he was only at the Early Stage of the Dragon Pill Realm, and in just half a year, he reached the Early Stage of the Dragon God Realm? To leap over a Great Realm like that, could it be that he concealed his cultivation base at that time?”

“It’s not likely.”

Guan Quan shook his head, “With the enmity between God-Slaying Pavilion and Sect of True Martial Arts back then, if they had the capability, they would have left no stone unturned to eliminate their enemies. There was no need for Shen Li to hide his cultivation base at that time.”

“Could he really cultivate that fast?”

Peng Lei could hardly believe it, “Half a year, just half a year! For someone in the Early Stage of the Dragon Pill Realm to reach the Mid-Stage would already be incredibly fast, right? And yet this person directly advanced to the Dragon God Realm, which is just insane!”

While the two were talking, Lii Sheng also walked in from outside.

Even though they were both elders, Lii Sheng was only the Third Elder, while Peng Lei was the First Elder. The key point was that Peng Lei was at the Dragon God Realm, so Lii Sheng treated him with great respect.

“Elder Peng summoned me?”

Seeing Peng Lei’s unpleasant expression, Lii Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

“You still remember that I called for you?”

When Lii Sheng arrived, the fury that Peng Lei had managed to suppress flared up again.

“Swoosh!”

His figure flashed, and he appeared right in front of Lii Sheng, slapping him across the face.

Lii Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying out of the main hall.

“Elder Peng, calm down!” Guan Quan shouted.

“Get back in here!” Peng Lei yelled at Lii Sheng again.

Lii Sheng, holding his face, did not dare to show his anger but sheepishly walked back in from outside.

“All this is your good doing!”

Peng Lei pointed at Lii Sheng’s nose, “What grievances you have with Su Baliu, we don’t care about, but why involve our sect because of your personal grievances? When Su Baliu wanted to purchase that spirit stone vein, you could have simply refused, but why did you toy with him? Didn’t you know his temper? You’re simply a scoundrel!”

After being harshly scolded by Peng Lei, Lii Sheng looked completely bewildered.

What exactly happened? Why such an outburst?

“Elder Peng, what exactly happened?” Lii Sheng asked.

“Today, God-Slaying Pavilion’s people came again, a full three thousand disciples, led personally by the Purple Demon King Shen Li. Without saying a word, they killed over a thousand of our Flowing Snow Sect’s disciples!”

With Peng Lei’s words, Lii Sheng finally understood.
