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

Chapter 56: Unable to take action?

"Senior brother, I… I've lost my cultivation!" Shen Feng spoke with difficulty.

When he attempted to use his cultivation just now, he realized that his meridians were empty.

At some point, he had transformed from a lofty Saint into an ordinary person.

"Hmm?" Cheng Wugou sensed it as well.

His expression changed abruptly.

He turned sharply, sternly saying, "Heavenly Secret Pavilion-"

Boom!

Before he could finish his sentence, a tremendous pressure descended, suppressing both of them to the ground, rendering them immobile.

"In the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, someone so audacious is a first," Li Yun remarked indifferently.

"Wha-what formation is this?" Cheng Wugou exclaimed in shock.

He was certain that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master had not revealed the slightest aura throughout.

If one wanted to suppress others, they had to release their own imposing aura.

This must be some mysterious formation!

Invisible yet potent, the ability to strip away one's cultivation and suppress those within a formation was an unheard-of art.

"The specifics of the formation are not important," Li Yun dismissed, shaking his head. "Today, I want to tell you something, and at the same time, I want to inform the world: The Heavenly Secret Pavilion is not a place where you can act recklessly!"

"What do you intend, Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master?" Cheng Wugou's mind raced, sensing impending trouble.

In that instant, every hair on his body stood on end, cold sweat oozing out.

A dreadful thought emerged—could the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master be planning to establish dominance over them?

It couldn't be. It was impossible.

They represented the Radiant Light Holy Land!

Throughout the world, even Imperial families showed some restraint.

A mere Heavenly Secret Pavilion, supported only by a Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, how could he dare to compete with a sect?

"You guessed right. I do intend to establish dominance over both of you," Li Yun smiled.

The smile, seen by the two, was incredibly eerie.

This man could read the thoughts of a Saint!

"Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, aren't you afraid of the Radiant Light Holy Land's wrath?" Shen Feng questioned, taking a deep breath. "We came here on the orders of the Radiant Light Holy Lord. If we perish here, you won't be able to conceal the news. The elders of the Radiant Light Holy Land will descend upon you. Not to mention a mere Heavenly Secret Pavilion, even beings within a radius of millions will be buried alongside us!"

"You two are truly pitiful," Li Yun sneered. "As members of the Tian Gang Sect, you carry the banner of the Radiant Light Holy Land. How? Can your sect not stand on its own?"

"You-!" Shen Feng's face darkened.

This matter struck a nerve.

Indeed, the Tian Gang Sect was far from being comparable to any major sect.

If it weren't for the Radiant Light Holy Land's support, they would be insignificant in the cultivation world.

Moreover, their cultivation was enhanced by the Radiant Light Holy Land's bestowed pills, barely reaching the pseudo-Saint realm—slightly stronger than a Holy Lord, yet weaker than a Saint.

Furthermore, due to the side effects of these pills, any chance of further advancement in their lifetimes was severed.

The hopelessness only strengthened their resolve to cling to the Radiant Light Holy Land.

"Nevertheless, you two are outsiders. Don't assume your weight is significant within the Radiant Light Holy Land," Li Yun raised his hand, gesturing lightly in the void. "Move on to the afterlife."

"No-!" Cheng Wugou opened his mouth, managing to utter only one word.

After that, he couldn't say anything more.

As if governed by an unknown rule, their lives were drawn out of their bodies.

Thud!

Two lifeless bodies collapsed, devoid of any vitality.

"It seems every world has some people who don't know their place," Li Yun murmured.

He took the spatial rings from the deceased, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered a wealth of spiritual stones, various heavenly treasures, making him smile with satisfaction.

Indeed. The fastest path to wealth was paved with blood and treachery.

These two might not be true Saints, but their wealth surpassed that of many Saints.

A vast quantity of high-quality spirit stones formed two small mountains when piled together, numbering at least several million!

"System, exchange all these resources for Secret Points!" Li Yun spoke.

In his mind, a crisp sound echoed as a whopping 170,000 Secret Points were credited, adding to the 50,000 points he had saved earlier, bringing his total to over 230,000 Secret Points!
