Chapter 102: The Five Elders of Shangshan

Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The crowd outside had gradually dispersed. With no threat to their lives, Great Wilderness City had returned to its usual atmosphere, albeit slightly subdued. However, these details were inconsequential. Before long, people from the surrounding areas would gather again.

After all, within a radius of a hundred thousand miles, Great Wilderness City was not only one of the largest cities but also the safest, thanks to the presence of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Especially now, after the intervention of Li Yun. The news, like a hurricane, swept through the cultivation world. A person capable of triggering Divine Retribution and resisting the divine sensing of the heavens, dispersing Divine Retribution—could such a person be ordinary? After all, even facing a heavenly tribulation was something most people could not control, let alone Divine Retribution.

Every person who heard this news couldn't help but sigh in admiration: truly worthy of the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, truly capable of deducing the heavenly secrets!

Inside the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Li Yun lay on a long bench, lightly tapping the armrest with his fingers, creating a rhythmic sound throughout the hall.

"Radiant Light Holy Lord," these four words came out of Li Yun's mouth casually.

Inadvertently, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. From sending people to arrest him initially to now setting up formations at his doorstep, it seemed Radiant Light Holy Lord hadn't learned his lesson.

"And there's also the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Li Yun frowned slightly. This force was unfamiliar to him; he had never heard of it before. However, being associated with Radiant Light Holy Lord didn't make it seem simple at all. The prestigious Radiant Light Holy Lord had unexpectedly fallen into collaboration with the demonic cultivators.

If this news were to spread, it would undoubtedly shock many. In modern terms, it would likely top the trending charts. There would probably be a crowd of onlookers eager to witness the drama.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Li Yun sat up, having made up his mind. He decided to release this information since it came freely without spending any Secret Points. As his hand lifted, ready to post the news on the external stone tablet, a young figure walked in.

"May I ask if the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master is here?"

"From Scarlet Flame Holy Land?" Li Yun put down his hand, glanced at the newcomer, and casually said, "Is it about the matter of Radiant Light Holy Lord?"

"Huh?" The young man was stunned. He had used a large teleportation talisman directly from Scarlet Flame Holy Land to Great Wilderness City. Before he could speak, it seemed that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master already knew something.

"Our Holy Lord has been to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?"

"No," Li Yun shook his head.

"Uh…" The young man's expression faltered.

"Li can only say that your Holy Lord's timing was not right. He encountered a Saint King Grade killing formation. Although he is exceptionally talented, his strength is still at the Holy Lord level." Li Yun looked at the young man and said softly, "Entering a Saint King Grade killing formation with Holy Lord-level cultivation, do I need to say more about the outcome?"

"Saint King Grade killing formation?" The young man furrowed his brows, puzzled. "Senior, are you saying that someone set up a formation and used it to kill our Holy Lord?"

"Exactly." Li Yun nodded and pointed outside, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask. Almost everyone in Great Wilderness City knows about it."

"Pavilion Master, you jest. With the reputation of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, I naturally believe it," the young man said.

Although he had hurriedly come and didn't have time to inquire about what happened in Great Wilderness City, he believed that the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion wouldn't deceive him on this matter.

What made him suspicious was that he had not sensed any trace of formation aura when he arrived from the outside. According to reason, there should be remnants of the formation, even if it was broken, leaving faint traces in the void.

"The formation has already been casually broken by me," Li Yun glanced at him and continued, "Naturally, you wouldn't sense the formation aura."

"Casually broken?" The young man was dumbfounded. At this moment, he forgot even that his thoughts were seen through by the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

A Saint King Grade formation could actually be casually broken. What kind of strength was this? A Great Saint shouldn't be able to do this, right? Could it be that he is a Quasi Emperor?

He really wanted to ask. Since the Pavilion Master was so powerful, why couldn't he save their Holy Lord? However, he refrained from asking. In this world, there were many powerful individuals who acted as they pleased. The Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion appeared to be one such person.

At present, he came to inquire about the person responsible for setting up the formation. If he questioned the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master about not saving a life, everything would be in vain.

"Does Pavilion Master know who set up the formation?" Xi Xiangnan inquired.

"I know," Li Yun responded.

"Please," Just as Xi Xiangnan was about to speak, a thought struck him. He flipped his palm, revealing two bottles of Holy Lord Grade pills. He handed them over, and said, "Please, Pavilion Master, do not hesitate to inform me."

"Alright." Li Yun's smile became more amiable as he accepted the pills. He spoke slowly, "Five Elders of Shangshan!"
