87: At the Leishan Grand Gathering, Xiao Yan meets Xiao Yan, and their duel as Dou Zun shakes the world!

A streak of crimson light tore through the sky as Jiang Luo sped along, arriving at the foot of Thunder Mountain in less than half a day.

Looking from afar, Thunder Mountain was shrouded in thunderclouds all year round. Lightning flickered within the mountains, the dull sound of thunder was incessant, and even the air carried a faint scent of electricity.

This was the very heart of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

At this moment, however, the summit of Thunder Mountain presented a different scene of bustling activity.

A high platform had been erected on the spacious plaza, surrounded by fluttering banners. Talented young elites from various factions across the Central Plains had gathered here; though their attire differed, they all possessed impressive auras.

On the high platform in the center of the plaza sat several Elders dressed in the attire of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The man at the head had a dignified countenance, with lightning-attribute Dou Qi flickering faintly around his body—he was none other than the top expert of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Thunder Venerable.

Today was the day the Four Pavilions Tournament was held.

As a highly influential grand event in the Central Plains, not only would the four major Sects—the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Yellow Spring Pavilion, and Starfall Pavilion—send representatives, but Sect forces from all over would also bring their young Disciples to exchange pointers. Many others hoped to use this Opportunity to befriend experts and seek Opportunity.

On the east side of the plaza, a young man in a black robe stood alone in a corner. His gaze swept over the high platform from time to time, his expression carrying a hint of impatience.

He had a handsome face, and although his Dou Qi was restrained, it faintly exuded a sense of composure that belied his age. He was none other than Xiao Yan, who had come from afar from the Jia Ma Empire.

He had come to Thunder Mountain this time not for the tournament rankings, but solely to find the whereabouts of Wind Venerable.

As long as Yao Lao had not found a body, he would not be able to rest easy.

"I heard that during this tournament, Thunder Venerable will personally instruct the Disciples. If one can receive his guidance, one will surely avoid many detours in future Cultivation!"

"That's not all! I also heard that the Personal Disciples of the other three Pavilion Masters have arrived. It is said that they are already infinitely close to the Dou Zong level. I fear they will compete for first place against the Geniuses of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion this time!"

The chatter from those around him kept coming, but Xiao Yan had no mind to pay attention.

His gaze remained locked on the few figures in the center of the high platform.

Just then, a streak of crimson light sped over from the foot of the mountain, carrying a heart-palpitating pressure that instantly drew the eyes of the entire crowd.

Everyone looked up, only to see a figure slowly landing at the edge of the plaza. It was Jiang Luo, who had come to seek revenge.

"Who is that? How dare he be so ostentatious during the Thunder Mountain Grand Gathering?"

"Look at his aura... so strong! Could he be an expert from some hidden Sect?"

The discussions rose and fell. Thunder Venerable on the high platform also opened his eyes, his gaze landing sharply on Jiang Luo with a hint of scrutiny: "Who are you, Your Excellency? Why do you trespass on my Thunder Mountain?"

Ignoring the gazes around him, Jiang Luo walked straight toward the high platform, his tone icy: "I am Jiang Luo. I have come to find Thunder Venerable to settle a score!"

"A score?" Thunder Venerable frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes, "I have never met you before, Your Excellency. Where would this score come from?"

"Fei Tian of your Wind and Thunder Pavilion, along with four Elders, were killed by me yesterday." Jiang Luo did not stop his steps, the pressure of a Dou Zun slowly radiating from his body. "They came to my door seeking revenge, so I killed them. I have come here today to nip the problem in the bud, so that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion won't trouble the Han Family in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar!

Fei Tian was the Pavilion Master of the Fenglei Northern Pavilion, with the strength of a Peak Dou Zong. Combined with four Dou Zong Elders, they had actually all been killed by the person before them?

Xiao Yan was also stunned. He turned to look at Jiang Luo, his eyes filled with shock.

He had once been saved by Jiang Luo in the Black-Corner Region and knew then that the other party's strength was extremely formidable, but he had not expected that he would be strong enough to easily kill five Dou Zongs!

He hurriedly took a step forward, bowed to Jiang Luo with cupped hands, and said respectfully: "Lord Jiang Luo!"

Jiang Luo glanced at Xiao Yan and gave a slight nod without saying much, his gaze remaining locked on Thunder Venerable: "Now, the score between us should also be settled!"
