255: You don’t know me, but you must have heard of my name

Although Venerable Feng had a smile on his Face, a chill inexplicably arose in the hearts of the three Venerables present.

In terms of strength and years of Cultivation, Venerable Feng undoubtedly surpassed all of them.

When he directly spoke these words to Venerable Lei, it was clear he wasn't joking.

Venerable Lei's smile froze, looking awkward.

Where did that boy named Xiao Yan come from? Could he be Feng Xian's illegitimate son? He's certainly worth this much attention.

"It's just a competition, Feng Qing'er surely knows how to hold back," Venerable Jian said, breaking the silence to ease the tense atmosphere.

"There are so many people watching, don't let them laugh at our Four Pavilions later."

Venerable Feng didn't respond, his gaze fixed on the center of the arena.

Compared to the original novel, Xiao Yan lacked some things. Although his strength was greater than his peers, he was still a step weaker when facing Central Plains Geniuses, especially someone like Feng Qing'er, who came from a top Demonic Beast race and possessed innate talent.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment. The pillar of flame Xiao Yan unleashed was slowly suppressed by the Black Phoenix, shrinking back towards him.

Bang!

The Black Phoenix destroyed the flames, sending Xiao Yan flying.

He tumbled several times in the air, falling from the square to the ground, and the Mysterious Heavy Ruler in his hand flew out.

"Xiao Yan is out! The ultimate victor of this Four Pavilions Grand Assembly is Feng Qing'er!" the Wind and Thunder Pavilion Elder shouted.

Immediately, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion Disciples erupted in cheers.

Winning first place again meant that the next Four Pavilions Grand Assembly would still be held at their Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Each Four Pavilions Grand Assembly was a moment to gain Face; it was an extremely glorious event.

Venerable Huang Quan glanced at Venerable Feng's expression. Seeing that he wasn't disappointed by losing first place at the Four Pavilions Grand Assembly, he couldn't help but feel a bit let down.

Because Huang Quan Pavilion had always been at the bottom, he basically held no hope.

If he could see Venerable Feng suffer a setback, he would secretly rejoice.

"The Wind and Thunder Pavilion really struck gold! Who would have thought Feng Qing'er would be from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"

"Exactly! If it weren't for Feng Qing'er, first place at this Four Pavilions Grand Assembly would most likely have gone to Starfall Pavilion."

"Both of them are still young. Perhaps at the next Four Pavilions Grand Assembly, they will still be the ones competing for first place."

The crowd who had traveled far to witness the Four Pavilions Grand Assembly was clearly very satisfied with this competition.

Even after the results were out, they weren't in a hurry to leave, instead discussing the next session.

According to the rules of the Four Pavilions Grand Assembly, anyone under thirty years old could participate.

Therefore, when someone suggested that the next competition would still be between Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er, no dissenting voices were heard.

"Teacher, I have not failed you. Your Disciple has secured the chief seat of the Four Pavilions."

Feng Qing'er stood in the Void Realm, cupping her hands towards Venerable Lei.

"You did very well!" Venerable Lei laughed heartily, rising from his seat, his eyes sweeping across the arena.

"Everyone, today's Four Pavilions Grand Assembly officially concludes here. We shall gather again here for the next assembly."

The dense crowd, looking at the beaming Venerable Lei, also offered loud compliments.

Venerable Jian, Venerable Huang Quan, and Venerable Feng each stood up, preparing to leave with their Disciples.

Just then, a voice carrying a faint smile drifted from afar, causing everyone to stop.

"It's still unknown if the Wind and Thunder Pavilion will even be around for the next one."

The voice came from the mountain path.

Everyone's gaze collectively turned, seeing three figures gradually emerge from the bottom of the steps.

Walking at the very front was a young man, who didn't look old, with his hands clasped behind his back.

Arriving at Thunder Mountain, it was as if he had returned to his own home, giving everyone a leisurely and comfortable illusion.

"Who are you?" Venerable Lei's smile vanished, his Face darkening, looking rather displeased.

In front of so many people, to curse the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to disappear, how could he, as the Pavilion Master, still smile?

Venerable Jian and Venerable Huang Quan gazed at Lin Xiu, their brows furrowed, as if trying to discern something from his Face.

After all, this young man didn't seem to be mentally unsound.

Since the other party dared to be so presumptuous on Thunder Mountain, he must have backing or a Family background.

However, they looked for a moment, and matched the relevant information in their minds with this young man.

It was the woman beside the young man who seemed somewhat familiar to them, but they couldn't recall her identity in such a short time.

Unlike them, Venerable Feng's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

He had met Lin Xiu before, so he naturally recognized him at a glance.

This guy actually came!

"Senior Brother!"

Supported by Mu Qingluan, Xiao Yan's heart stirred with excitement upon seeing Lin Xiu appear, which caused him to cough violently.

"What Senior Brother? You know him?" Mu Qingluan asked subconsciously, a bit confused.

However, before Xiao Yan could explain, Mu Qingluan's question was answered.

"Venerable Lei, you may not know me, but you must have heard my name... I, Lin Xiu, said I would come to Thunder Mountain, so why did you still capture the Han Family from Tianbei City?" Lin Xiu said calmly.

But his calm tone caused waves of gasps and shock to ripple through the scene.

Gaze after gaze swept over him, filled with astonishment and doubt.

"He's Lin Xiu?"

"Good heavens, this kid actually came."

"Did you hear his tone just now? It was actually accusatory! That's Venerable Lei, a dignified Dou Zun! Is he not afraid of being slapped to death?"

The crowd, who had been about to disperse, now felt as if their feet were glued to the ground, unable to move at all.

"You actually dared to come. I'm very curious who gave you the courage."

Venerable Lei's lips didn't move as he spoke, his voice seemingly squeezed through his teeth, imbued with a chilling coldness.

How utterly audacious!

You were the one who first killed a Wind and Thunder Pavilion inner Disciple, and then purged the Hong Family.

Now, you actually dare to come to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion headquarters to demand an explanation from me?!

However, Venerable Lei didn't even consider that the root cause of the incident was Hong Chen's arrogance, relying on his status as an inner Disciple of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to flaunt his power in Tianbei City, which led to the tragedy.

But even if he knew the full story, Venerable Lei wouldn't actually care.

In the Face of strength, all reasons would appear pale and powerless.

"You want to know? Why don't you try and find out?" Lin Xiu smiled faintly, raising his right hand and beckoning with his index finger.

Whoosh!

Upon seeing this gesture, everyone present was stunned.

Even Tang Ying of the Myriad Sword Pavilion, or Wang Chen of the Huang Quan Pavilion, or Mu Qingluan of the Starfall Pavilion, all widened their eyes in unison.

What happened?

Someone who looked to be the same age as them actually dared to provoke a Dou Zun?

The three of them were utterly bewildered, unsure what words to use to describe their current feelings.

Even with their teachers' Face, they wouldn't dare to treat Venerable Lei like that.

Conversely, Xiao Yan found nothing wrong with it.

"Senior Brother is still Senior Brother."

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes. He had long wanted to do something like this, but Elder Feng was not his true teacher after all.

"If you're tired of living, Thunder Mountain has many auspicious burial grounds. Pick one and lie down."

Arcs of lightning crackled around Venerable Lei's body.

"Teacher, leave him to me!" Feng Qing'er volunteered.

In full view of everyone, if her teacher were to truly make a move against a young man, even if he killed him, he would still gain the reputation of bullying the weak.

Moreover, she had just heard Xiao Yan's low exclamation with her own ears.

He was the Senior Brother Xiao Yan spoke of?
