Li Xuan Yi Qin

Chapter 937 Return to the Wooden Pavilion

Tianyi Domain, Tiger Canyon.

On this day, a streak of light shot across the sky.

This person was Li Xuan, who had left the Abyss Forbidden Land.

Over eight years, Li Xuan had fought almost every day. For the last two years, he had been fighting in the deepest parts. Although he was exhausted daily, his gains were immense.

He was at the peak of the Years Realm, just one step away from the Free Realm.

With only two years left until the ten-year mark, Li Xuan assessed that he could not achieve a significant breakthrough in these remaining two years. Coupled with his concern for the safety of Tianyi Domain, he finally decided to return to the Wood Pavilion.

Buzz!

As Li Xuan landed, a massive light barrier immediately materialized before him. Li Xuan stopped and looked, his heart filled with shock. With his current cultivation, trying to forcefully enter this barrier would likely result in a severe backlash.

"I didn't expect Tianyi Domain to have activated the domain protection formation. It seems the situation is quite serious," Li Xuan let out a long breath. Then, with a thought, he took out the Wood Pavilion Master's identity token.

As spiritual energy was channeled, the token flickered to life. Following this, a green light shot into the light barrier, and a doorway, tall enough for one person, slowly appeared. Seeing this, Li Xuan moved and vanished inside.

As he walked, Li Xuan's expression grew increasingly grim. On the outskirts of Tianyi Domain, the traces of battle were particularly evident.

Some sects and factions situated in more remote areas no longer bore their original appearance. Many stone pillars where the sects stood had collapsed and broken, clearly victims of an attack.

Judging by the nature of the breaks, some time had passed. Witnessing this scene, Li Xuan's speed increased further.

"Now that we are safe, our sect is destroyed. What face will we have to face our ancestors in the future?"

"Alas, who told our sect to choose this location? It was all fated. But now Tianyi Pavilion asks us to wait here for arrangements. I wonder when this war will end."

"Several years ago, I heard news from Tianyi Pavilion that Great Elder Lin Yi was about to return. But eight years have passed now, is the news of Great Elder Lin Yi's return even true?"

"The Myriad Ancient Domain has already attacked us. Why doesn't Tianyi Pavilion launch a full counterattack? What is the point of this prolonged attrition?"

"Let's keep our voices down. Tianyi Pavilion disciples are patrolling outside. It wouldn't be good if they overheard us."

"..."

Li Xuan's divine sense extended outwards. As he sensed the spiritual master fluctuations within a small city ahead, several conversations reached his ears. His heart stirred, and he emerged from the void, appearing outside a mansion.

"Who goes there!"

As Li Xuan appeared, someone inside the mansion noticed. As the words fell, several figures rushed out from within the mansion. At the same time, perhaps alerted by the initial warning, a team of ten Tianyi Pavilion disciples quickly arrived from behind, surrounding Li Xuan.

"You are... Disciple greets Pavilion Master Li Xuan!" The leading Tianyi Pavilion disciple was about to ask a question when, upon seeing Li Xuan's face, his expression turned excited, and he bowed in greeting.

Those who rushed out from the mansion exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not expecting the person before them to be the Wood Pavilion Master of Tianyi Pavilion.

Li Xuan looked at the disciple before him with some surprise and asked, "You recognize me?"

"Replying to Pavilion Master Li Xuan, my name is Fan Cong, and I am a disciple of the Gold Pavilion. I was fortunate enough to glimpse Pavilion Master Li Xuan's presence before, which is why I recognize you," Fan Cong replied, bowing.

Li Xuan nodded in realization and then asked, "Tell everyone to continue their patrols. You, come in with me."

"Yes!" Fan Cong bowed in response. After a few words to a disciple behind him, he immediately followed Li Xuan's footsteps.

"What is the current situation? Tell me. Also, since you are disciples of the Gold Pavilion, why are you here?" Li Xuan asked directly after sitting down inside the mansion.

"Replying to Pavilion Master Li Xuan, now that Tianyi Domain's protection formation is active, the conflict has paused for over two months."

"Furthermore, various forces and teams within Tianyi Domain are currently gathering at Sword Gate Pass. Once the domain protection formation is broken, a major battle is inevitable. As for us disciples with weaker strength, we can only be dispatched to patrol these areas," Fan Cong replied.

Li Xuan nodded and continued, "Besides the four of you, are there any disciples from the other four pavilions here?"

Fan Cong shook his head. "There are only two teams from our Gold Pavilion here. Besides this team, another team is resting. For the past three months, our two teams have been taking turns on duty to prevent any eventualities. As for disciples from the other four pavilions, they have likely been assigned to other areas like us."

"Are there any changes within the Pavilion now?" Li Xuan asked.

Fan Cong shook his head and bowed. "My disciple level is limited, and I don't have much information. However, I heard that Great Elder Chen Yu has already taken command at Sword Gate Pass. As for the situation of the other Great Elders and the Pavilion Masters, I am not very clear."

Li Xuan nodded, then stood up and waved his hand, tossing a jade bottle containing Taiyuan Fruits to Fan Cong. "Your efforts will surely be rewarded in the future. Take one Taiyuan Fruit each from this bottle, you and your team."

"Also, the forces and teams within a radius of several hundred li are gathered here. Do not presume upon your status as Tianyi Pavilion disciples and disrupt the overall situation."

"Disciple thanks Pavilion Master Li Xuan! I will surely convey Pavilion Master Li Xuan's instructions to my fellow disciples," Fan Cong replied with a bow.

When Fan Cong looked up, Li Xuan's figure had already vanished.

...

Tianyi Pavilion, Wood Pavilion.

"Brother Qiu, do you think Pavilion Master Li Xuan is really in seclusion?" Gong Hanfeng asked in a low voice, glancing at the vigilant disciples around them.

Qiu Jiuzian looked towards the depths of the palace and replied softly, "Pavilion Master Li Xuan is elusive, how could we possibly know? However, Great Elder Bai and Great Elder Mu both said Pavilion Master Li Xuan is in seclusion, so it should be true, right?"

"And even if Pavilion Master Li Xuan isn't in seclusion, when you meet him later, you can just ask him yourself."

"I wouldn't dare. No matter what, he is the Pavilion Master of our Wood Pavilion. Alas, if we weren't Pavilion Master Li Xuan's personal guards, I would truly want to go to the front lines and see. Even if I couldn't contribute much, doing my part would be good." Gong Hanfeng shook his head.

"Now that you mention it, I have the same thought. I've reached a bottleneck. Perhaps only by facing a real life-and-death battle can I achieve a breakthrough," Qiu Jiuzian nodded.

"Since you both feel that way, shall I agree?"

As Qiu Jiuzian finished speaking, a voice suddenly echoed in their ears. They looked up, their faces instantly showing excitement.

"Your subordinate greets Pavilion Master Li Xuan!"
