Chapter 199: The Return of the Tower Master of Windriding Pavilion
Chapter 199: The Return of the Tower Master of Windriding Pavilion
As usual, Su Chen went to borrow books from the library.
Those who knew about last night's events couldn't help but shiver at the sight of Su Chen.
Their tone and manner of speaking had completely changed.
Compared to before, the difference was too obvious.
Those who were unaware of last night's events found the others' attitude towards Su Chen very strange.
Did a Windriding Pavilion guard deserve such reverence?
Upon learning that Su Chen had not left, the elders of Windriding Pavilion immediately called everyone over.
The high-ranking members and Yang Yueyao were summoned to discuss the situation.
The outcome of the discussion was clear: everyone must be cautious until the Tower Master returned.
If anyone angered Su Chen, Windriding Pavilion would not intervene.
Everything would be discussed after the Tower Master returned.
No one opposed this decision.
The fate of the Alliance Kingdom's Guardian Leader was a warning to all. Anyone who dared to oppose could face Su Chen's wrath.
By noon, it was time for lunch.
Everyone in Windriding Pavilion knew about last night's events.
Su Chen, who was at the center of the storm, was calmly reading books at this moment.
Today, no one came to rush or chase him away.
As Su Chen flipped through the cultivation techniques in the library, he gained some insights.
This world had a constant pressure from the very beginning.
For martial arts cultivators, this pressure was even more evident during body tempering.
Additionally, the chaotic flow that disturbed one's state of mind was always present, hindering further advancement for cultivators.
For a cultivator like Su Chen,
Coming here was like undergoing weight training, which could significantly benefit martial arts cultivation.
But being constantly in such an environment made self-cultivation a different matter.
Especially when one's strength was still low, the pressure might crush the cultivator.
In such an environment, even with supreme talent, it felt difficult to improve.
No wonder the cultivators here, even the top experts of a country, were only at the Sixth Stage.
Su Chen, possessing the Heavenly Destiny of Indomitable Will, was able to withstand this pressure.
For others, expending their entire lives to reach the Seventh Stage was already exceptional.
With no one disturbing him, Su Chen indulged in reading extensively in the library.
Most of the cultivation techniques were ordinary.
Very few could offer him any insights.
However, Su Chen found some peculiar books in the library.
The content resembled the writing style on the sacred stone tablet at the entrance to this world.
Although the writing style was not by the same person, it was likely written by people from the same era and civilization.
Su Chen recalled the words of Senior Zhenren Shangxuan.
That map was initially sought for a Sage's secret technique.
Perhaps, in this world, there truly existed such a Sage's secret technique.
As night fell, the Tower Master of Windriding Pavilion, Xie Shengrui, returned.
The anxious hearts of the crowd seemed to settle.
After discussing with everyone, Xie Shengrui nodded slightly.
As the strongest cultivator of his generation, the person who could make Xie Shengrui feel worried and sense danger was one of just a few.
Hearing that Su Chen had been in the library for almost a day, Xie Shengrui led the crowd towards the library.
Before the library, Xie Shengrui signaled to the other elders and high-ranking members.
The others stopped and waited for Xie Shengrui to handle the situation.
If a fight broke out, this distance would ensure the safety of others.
Looking at the back of their Tower Master, Chi Xiaoyun still seemed worried.
"That Su Chen, will he be stronger than the Tower Master?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Yueyao interrupted her.
"Chi Xiaoyun, you have some brains, but you wouldn't say something like that.
In this world, who can surpass the Tower Master? Besides the ancient monsters backing the two great nations, is there anyone else?
The Sect Leaders of other Sects are, at most, on par with the Tower Master in strength.
That Su Chen might be able to withstand a few moves from the Tower Master, but it's impossible for him to win."
As Yang Yueyao spoke, the other Sect Elders nodded in agreement.
"Yueyao's words are quite reasonable.
If he could easily defeat our Tower Master, calling him the world's first would not be an exaggeration."
"However, no matter the outcome today, you all must be cautious.
Do not provoke this Su Chen; our Windriding Pavilion has no mortal feud with him.
With the Tower Master taking the lead, those past disturbances should be resolved without issue.
But if anyone angers him, he has the strength to deal with you all, and there's no doubt about that."
The Windriding Pavilion members standing outside the library discussed among themselves.
It was as if their Tower Master had already resolved the matter.
They patiently waited outside, and after an hour, Su Chen and Shengrui Xie emerged, chatting and laughing.
"Take these books and arrange for the Pavilion disciples to search for similar texts.
Find those with similar writing styles and paper, and bring them all back.
Set aside all other tasks and focus solely on this matter.
Additionally, Su Chen is our Tower Master's esteemed guest.
From now on, when you see Su Chen in the Sect, treat him as if you were seeing the Tower Master himself.
Whatever Su Chen arranges, everyone must obey without question."
Shengrui Xie's words caused the expressions of those present to freeze instantly.
Wasn't this openly showing weakness in front of others?
For Su Chen to make their Tower Master do this, his true strength must be...
Yang Yueyao, Chi Xiaoyun, and the Servants and Disciples who had carried out tasks with them, their faces were filled with shock, overshadowing all other emotions.
"Su Chen, I'll arrange for the Pavilion to provide you with a comfortable guest room."
"Tower Master, you're too kind. My current accommodations are already quite nice.
Being a Servant in the Windriding Pavilion is indeed a great honor."
Su Chen smiled and responded, both maintaining a basic level of decorum.
After a few courteous exchanges, Su Chen returned to his residence first.
The Windriding Pavilion members present only relaxed their tense bodies slightly after Su Chen's figure disappeared.
Shengrui Xie dismissed everyone else and only called a few Elders to his courtyard.
The courtyard was lit with numerous candles as night had already fallen.
But Shengrui Xie and the Elders had no intention of resting.
"Tower Master."
"I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you frankly.
That Su Chen, we cannot make an enemy of him.
If he were to go all out, our entire Windriding Pavilion might perish, including me, the Tower Master!"
Shengrui Xie's words were grave, without a hint of jest.
"Inside the library, I secretly matched my strength against him.
With his level of power, we have no qualifications to make an enemy of him.
Moreover, he's not a cruel person, and he's here to seek training and improvement.
Therefore, let's not cause any more trouble."
In the courtyard, the Elders didn't hesitate much and nodded in agreement.
Having finally attained the position of Elder, none of them wanted to throw away their lives so easily.
As for Yang Yueyao and Chi Xiaoyun, they struggled for a long time and decided that night to go and apologize.
