Xianxia: I Built the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; All People Worships Me (Patreon)

Chapter 55: Isn't this the Emperor who hasn't become Emperor yet?

"The master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, your name has spread far and wide in recent days, known across several states. Today, seeing you in person, only then do I realize the rumors are not unfounded."

Cheng Wugou maintained his smile, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He had just choked a moment ago; anyone in his position would have an unpleasant expression.

Moreover, he was a Saint, even if it was a pseudo-Saint.

He's also a Saint! Much stronger than a Holy Lord!

"We two brothers have long admired the Pavilion Master's name, so we've traveled billions of miles to pay our respects." Cheng Wugou spoke sincerely.

If someone unfamiliar with the situation were here, they might truly be deceived by his earnest acting.

"Oh, really?" Li Yun smirked, his eyes cold, sweeping a glance at the two.

He spoke deliberately slowly, "I'm afraid it's not just to pay respects; you also have thoughts of kidnapping."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, both Cheng Wugou and Shen Feng frowned.

They exchanged glances and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Before long, they returned to their original state, secretly astonished.

The Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion truly lived up to the name "Heavenly," calmly seeing through their thoughts without a hint.

Though exposed, neither would admit it.

Cheng Wugou forced a laugh, saying in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master, you jest. We, from the Tian Gang Sect, as a righteous sect, wouldn't engage in such base actions."

"Exactly," Shen Feng chimed in, "We've only come to invite the Pavilion Master to visit the Radiant Light Holy Land. Please don't make it difficult for us."

"Heh." Li Yun chuckled.

Visiting the Radiant Light Holy Land? Was the suggestion a joke? Having divulged some of the Heavenly Secrets, though not extensively, the accursed ones persist while those who shouldn't exist have perished.

Numerous timelines were already in disarray. The accumulated heavenly punishment on him remains uncertain.

Stepping beyond the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's gate might instantly draw down divine thunder.

Venturing out at this moment would be tantamount to committing suicide.

"What does the Pavilion Master mean?" Cheng Wugou frowned.

Suppressing the anger within, he spoke again, "The Radiant Light Holy Lord is a genius of the ages with the demeanor of a Great Emperor. Holy Lord heard rumors about the Pavilion Master recently, so he wish to meet you. This opportunity is rare. Countless people want to see the Radiant Light Holy Lord but can't. Is the Master willing to miss such a chance?"

"The Radiant Light Holy Lord?" Li Yun sneered. "Doesn't this mean that he is not an Emperor yet?"

In this world, many have the demeanor of an Emperor.

In another world, there was also one with the same Imperial demeanor, .

But what happened in the end? Died in a very rhythmic way, didn't he?

Typically, characters like the Radiant Light Holy Lord, who are domineering and arrogant, are just stepping stones for the protagonist.

He just doesn't know who the protagonist is in this world.

When he finds out, he'll have to give them a push from behind, so the Radiant Light Holy Lord learns what treacherous hearts people can have.

"Does the Pavilion Master's words mean disdain for the Radiant Light Holy Land?" Cheng Wugou's tone turned cold.

The Radiant Light Holy Land was their Tian Gang Sect's support.

If their support was insulted, as their subordinate, they naturally had to prepare for a fight.

"Hmm…" Li Yun pondered for a moment and said, "If you two interpret it that way, it seems not entirely unreasonable."

"In that case, there's nothing more to say." Cheng Wugou opened his folding fan with a swish.

Before entering, he had noticed something off about the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

He had been on guard, fearing it might be a killing formation or trap.

Now, seeing no movement in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Cheng Wugou's gaze fell on Li Yun.

In his eyes, the other person appeared as an ordinary individual, lacking any trace of cultivated aura.

At first glance, he was startled. However, upon careful consideration, it seemed not as it appeared.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, proficient in deducing Heavenly Secrets, had devoted his energy to it.

How high could his cultivation be? Perhaps it was just a kind of powerful concealment technique.

Cheng Wugou coldly declared, "Since the Pavilion Master doesn't want to accompany us, then we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands. Pavilion Master, please come with us!"

With the Radiant Light Holy Land as their backing, Cheng Wugou showed no fear.

Even if the current Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master surpassed their expectations, reaching the level of a Saint King or even a Great Saint, so what?

Would he dare to kill them?

Behind them stood the Radiant Light Holy Land, with a Quasi Emperor, an Imperial Weapon, and the highly likely future Emperor, the Radiant Light Holy Lord!

The smarter one is, the more they understand the intricacies. Especially someone like the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, who could perceive Heavenly Secrets, should understand the consequences of offending the Radiant Light Holy Land.

"Junior brother, please take action. Convince the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master to leave with us," Cheng Wugou calmly stated.

No sound came forth.

"Junior brother, why haven't you acted yet?" Cheng Wugou looked displeased. Uttering another sentence yielded no response.

"Junior brother?" Cheng Wugou was puzzled, turning to look at Shen Feng.

At some point, Shen Feng's face had turned extremely pale, covered in fine sweat.

His lips trembled, and he stood frozen in place.

Seeing Shen Feng's panicked gaze, Cheng Wugou, perplexed, turned around.

In his mind, his disdain for his junior deepened.

He hadn't noticed before, but his junior was surprisingly so timid and fearful.

Wasn't the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master just an ordinary person in front of them?

"What's wrong, junior brother?" Cheng Wugou asked, unable to understand.

Simultaneously, a sense of disdain grew within him.

How could his junior, who belonged to the Tian Gang Sect, be so frightened by a mere Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master?

"Senior brother, I… I've lost my cultivation!"
