Heavenly Mechanism Elder?
Jiang Fan couldnât help but recall Spirit Soundâs instructions.
She told him to hand the letter over when he saw the Heavenly Mechanism Elder.
Jiang Fan pondered:
"The Heavenly Mechanism Elder is so formidable, why doesnât the White Bone Alliance directly have him find me?"
"That way, you wouldnât have to endure so much suffering."
Uncle Mu Ying said, "I donât know."
"There must be some restrictions as well, requiring certain elements to work."
"For example, the White Bone Alliance probably reported the names of those who went to the underground palace this time to the Heavenly Mechanism Elder."
"Itâs through the names that they found us."
"As for Jiang Seniorâs name, the White Bone Alliance does not know, so they canât provide the elements."
Is that so?
This Heavenly Mechanism Elder is quite extraordinary!
Wait a minute!
Jiang Fan suddenly remembered something, with a hint of unease in his eyes.
If thatâs the case, wouldnât it be a piece of cake for Venerate Xinnie to have the Heavenly Mechanism Elder find me?
All he needs to do is provide the element of "Cultivating Void Flowing Thunder Force" to successfully lock onto Jiang Fan.
Yet, Venerate Xinnie has not found him until now.
Itâs unclear if the Heavenly Mechanism Elder canât find Jiang Fan or just refuses to help Venerate Xinnie find him.
This old fellow truly is a significant hidden threat.
If only I could meet him, maybe find out Venerate Xinnieâs weaknesses, or perhaps ways to deal with Venerate Xinnie or something.
"Where is the Heavenly Mechanism Elder?" Jiang Fan thought of this and asked.
Uncle Mu Ying shook his head, "Donât know."
"The Heavenly Mechanism Elder is elusive and unpredictable; itâs not someone you can meet just because you want to."
"Even Venerates rarely see him."
Is that so?
Jiang Fan felt slightly relieved.
In this case, itâs possible that Venerate Xinnie hasnât encountered the Heavenly Mechanism Elder.
"Thanks."
Looking at the two peopleâs unbearable wounds, he said remorsefully, "You guys better not go anywhere in the future."
"Just stay at my Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
Mu Ying tearfully said, "You donât blame us for betraying you?"
Jiang Fan sighed, "I dragged you into this, itâs already good enough that you donât blame me."
"Besides, itâs only human to not withstand such torture."
"Enough said, Iâll take you away!"
Taicang State.
A sect in a remote land.
An elder who had recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm knelt trembling on the ground.
Behind him, his Nascent Soul Power manifested.
In front of him.
Venerate Xinnie held a long list, densely filled with names of sects.
He crossed out the one in front of him.
Looking at the remaining hundreds of small sects, he frowned deeply.
"Thereâs still so many sects to check, with only two months left."
"Is it enough?"
At this moment.
The Communication Jade Pendant at his waist rang.
Opening it, it was a message from a Vice Building Master of Jiangshan First-class Building.
"Venerate, someone has found clues regarding the whereabouts of the Heavenly Mechanism Elder you placed a bounty on."
Hmm?
Venerate Xinnieâs eyes flashed with sharpness, "The Heavenly Mechanism Elder has finally surfaced!"
"If he can be found, tracking down the practitioner of the Void Flowing Thunder Force will be a breeze."
Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Nangong Xiaoyun led a little cow, pacing back and forth at the mountain gate.
Four presences approached from afar in the sky.
Two of them were Bai Xin and her subordinate Huang Ying.
The other was Tong Fei and his subordinate Yang Yuntao.
Huang Ying looked at the empty Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and was stunned.
"Isnât this the right place?"
Yang Yuntao was equally puzzled, "No mistake, I just asked the local loose cultivators."
"This is definitely the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Why does the sect establishment ceremony have no disciples present?"
Tong Fei coldly snorted, "I really donât understand why such a small sectâs establishment ceremony requires us two householders to attend."
"My Qintian Bureau governs Taicang State and patrols hundreds of sects."
"Since when have we lowered ourselves to congratulate a small sect?"
His subordinate Yang Yuntao chuckled, "Householder, please calm down."
"Jiang Fan obtained significant news about the descent of the Ancient Giant and made great contributions."
"As he is temporarily a Sky Watcher of the Qintian Bureau, itâs only proper for us to offer congratulations."
Tong Fei glanced at him, saying, "Because he saved your life, youâre singing his praises?"
Yang Yuntao could only keep quiet.
He had volunteered to come, naturally out of a sense of gratitude.
Last time, when he used soul techniques to examine that womanâs soul, he suffered a backlash from the restriction.
On the brink of death and soul dispersion, it was Jiang Fan who saved him with a Spirit Pill.
Now that Jiang Fanâs Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is holding its sect establishment ceremony, how could he not be present to give support?
Huang Ying smirked, "You should have advised the Great Wine Sacrifice not to let Tong Qianhu come."
"With a sour face, heâll spoil Jiang Fanâs mood."
Bai Xin, expressionless, looked at Tong Fei, saying, "Tong Qianhu, today is a celebration."
"Please mind your words and actions."
With that, they approached the mountain gate.
Looking at the young girl leading the little cow, Bai Xin asked, "Is today the sect establishment ceremony of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"
Nangong Xiaoyunâs expression tightened, and she quickly said, "Yes, welcome esteemed guests to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilionâs sect establishment ceremony."
She muttered to herself:
"Besides the two senior Fire Worship Sect brothers and sisters of the Pavilion Master, why are there other guests at our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"
The four wore standardized uniforms, clearly not disciples of the Fire Worship Sect.
Huang Ying looked around curiously, puzzled, "Since itâs the sect establishment ceremony, where are your people?"
Nangong Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment.
She replied awkwardly, "To report to the four distinguished guests."
"Our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples went out to fight."
Uh!
The four were directly stunned on the spot.
On the day of the sect establishment ceremony, the entire sect went out to fight?
Leaving just a little girl to watch the gate?
Huang Yingâs forehead was lined with black, "Your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is quite combative."
Nangong Xiaoyun hurriedly said, "No, no, our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples are very friendly."
"We are a peaceful sect."
Bai Xin suddenly sniffed the air.
She smelled a bloody scent, a human one at that.
Following the smell, she walked to a pile of weeds on the side, where two hideous headless corpses lay conspicuously.
Nangong Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue and quickly said, "Let me explain."
"Things arenât what you think they are."
"These two people were yelling for a fight, and we were acting in self-defense."
Huang Ying looked up at the archway, the three blood-red characters for "Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
Muttered, "Isnât it blood?"
Nangong Xiaoyun panicked, coughed, and said, "We couldnât find the paint for a while."
"Itâs an on-site material, economical and frugal."
Yang Yuntao frowned, picked up a suspicious pile of ash from the ground, sniffed it in front of his nose, and said in shock:
"This is human bone ash."
"They were completely incinerated."
Nangong Xiaoyunâs face was covered in sweat, explaining, "That... that was the enemy too."
"They accidentally burned themselves, it has nothing to do with us."
Oh dear.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion hasnât even opened yet, and itâs already earned a reputation for ruthless killing?
Fortunately, she appeared so innocent and tried hard to explain.
As the crime scene was at the mountain gate of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it fitted the usual scenario of someone coming for revenge.
Therefore, the four quickly exchanged opinions.
And chose to believe her.
Huang Ying chuckled, "You should have cleaned it up better."
"Without knowing, theyâd think this is a demonic sectâs sect establishment ceremony."
Nangong Xiaoyun smiled awkwardly, secretly feeling relieved.
Luckily, thanks to her silver tongue, she successfully salvaged the reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
She really had it tough.
Later, she decided to demand a good reward from Jiang Fan.
And with that, the members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion returned.
They were cheerfully chatting.
Liang Feiyanâs loud voice echoed all over the mountain.
"Hahaha, exhilarating!"
"Our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is invincible!"
"On the day of sect establishment, we destroyed a sect!"
"Who dares to be so blind in the future?"
"Hahaha!"
