Chapter 986

In the hall was the head of the Liu family, a late-stage Primal Core expert. Because they were attached to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, the Liu family had developed rapidly in the past few years, suppressing the Wang family. They were fully deserving of being the strongest power in the Savage Land.

After the head of the Liu family arrived, he first congratulated Zi Chen on his return. Then, he asked when the market would reopen. It had to be known that the Liu family had a huge business in the market now. Because of the agreement with the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, they did not open branches in other markets.

However, because of this, every day the market was closed, the Liu family's losses were immeasurable.

"I don't plan to open the market anymore."

Zi Chen's reply shocked the head of the Liu family. He immediately asked, "Pavilion Master Zi Chen, why are you doing this?"

Zi Chen looked at the head of the Liu family and said, "I'm only telling this to you. As for you, you have to make preparations as soon as possible while keeping this a secret."

The head of the Liu family saw the seriousness in Zi Chen's expression and nodded.

"The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion is preparing to move back to the Savage Land and establish the Wuji Sect. This is because there will be a huge war soon. This war will involve the entire Tianwu Continent. The battle will be very fierce. Therefore, what we need to do now is to accumulate strength, not wealth."

"A war involving the Tianwu Continent?" The head of the Liu family was shocked.

"That's right. The invaders are the foreign tribes, and a great war may break out at any time. Now, the weapons refined by the Liu family can be kept for your own use, or you can sell them to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. However, you are not allowed to sell them to other forces. Furthermore, from now on, the weapons refined by the Liu family must be of high quality.

"Pavilion Master Zi Chen, how true is this news?" asked the head of the Liu family.

"One hundred percent."

"Good. I'll bring them back to the Savage Land now."

Zi Chen nodded. "That's good too. Prepare early. When you leave, you can leave from here."

After a while, the head of the Liu family left.

Zi Chen bringing the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion back would naturally have a huge impact on the Liu family. Furthermore, the title of the strongest power was destined to be revoked. However, in the face of the upcoming war, this title was useless. What the Liu family needed was not a title, but a rise.

And this time, it was clearly the Liu Family's opportunity.

The news of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion killing a Mortal Origin Realm cultivator from the overlord faction had spread throughout the Ancient Beast World. The fact that the overlord faction did not dare to settle the score was enough to prove how powerful the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion was.

The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion had only risen to power for less than two hundred years, but it had already trampled the Overlord Forces under its feet. The speed of its rise was shocking.

When the Spirit Devouring Rats had arrived at the Ancient Beast World, they had carefully explored this place and found many large mineral veins. As they were not in a hurry, the people of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion were slowly mining. In addition, only Danyuan could enter this place, and Danyuan did not want to mine, so the progress was slow.

However, after Zi Chen's return, a large number of Dan essences entered the World of Ancient Beasts. This time, even the Pavilion Master, Wang Qiong, had arrived. He personally oversaw the situation. A large number of Dan essences began to collect resources and mineral veins. Some of the more powerful Dan essences were in charge of killing ancient beasts.

On the same day, the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion opened up four large mineral veins and killed countless ancient beasts. Every day, large amounts of resources were brought back to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion and placed in the treasury.

The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's actions puzzled the other factions. However, the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's daily intake of resources made them jealous. However, with Zi Chen around, no one dared to do anything to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion.

On the tenth day, the peace agreement that Zi Chen had signed with the Demon Race was broken by the Demon Race. After that, the Demon Race in the Wasteland attacked the humans in the Land of Chaos.

This was a devastating blow to the cultivators in the Land of Chaos.

When the battle began, the humans were forced to retreat. They were forced to retreat tens of thousands of miles, and many of them were injured or killed.

Ling 'er was leading a team to chase after a group of ancient beasts when she heard the battle cries from afar.

"Let's go and take a look." Ling 'er gestured for a late-stage Primal Core cultivator to go.

After a while, the late-stage Primal Core cultivator returned and reported, "It's the Demon Race. They're attacking the other factions. Should we go and help?"

Ling 'er glanced at him and asked, "Help? Why?"

The late-stage Primal Core cultivator was stunned and said, "Because we're all in the same camp."

Ling 'er said coldly, "We were in the same camp in the past, but not now. Let's wait until the Demon Race attacks the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion."

Just as the Demon Race was attacking the humans, the tribe leader of the Demon Race's ape tribe, the Primal Core Elder Ape, entered the Ancient Beast World. After he arrived, he held the Dragonman tribe's token and gathered all the tribe leaders.

When he saw all the tribe leaders arrive, he held the token and said, "You're not allowed to attack the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. If you disobey, you'll be killed."

The Dragonman's token had a strong deterrent effect on everyone. Even if they were confused, they did not dare to ask and could only obey.

Hence, in the following battle, a strange scene occurred. The Demon Race would take a detour around the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's properties. When they saw the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's hunting team, they would also avoid them.

The Demon Race did not attack the people from the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, so the people from the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion naturally did not interfere. Now, their main task was to search for resources.

During this period, the other factions that could not win formed an alliance and launched a counterattack against the Demon Race. Some of these people followed Zi Chen in the past and knew the tactics that Zi Chen used against the Demon Race. However, after they used it, they realized that it was completely ineffective.

Without a strong general, they could not deal a heavy blow to the Demon Race. After a while, they suffered heavy losses.

Helpless, dozens of factions gathered together and started to discuss countermeasures.

"The Demon Race is determined to chase us out. Our counterattack is completely ineffective. We can only ask the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion for help."

"The previous incident has already made the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion disappointed. Will they help us?"

"We're all humans. Furthermore, the Demon Race is attacking us now. After this, they will definitely deal with the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. I think they can see this."

Everyone was discussing, but other than asking the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion for help, there was no other choice.

However, who in the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion to ask for help from was a big problem.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we ask the female Rakshasa? She's extremely powerful and is not any weaker than Zi Chen in the past. As long as she's willing to lead us to attack the Demon Race, she'll definitely be the second Zi Chen to create a miracle."

"Go to the female Rakshasa. Are you crazy or thinking of committing suicide? She's indeed very powerful, but she's also very hot-tempered and bloodthirsty. She's a far cry from Zi Chen in the past. Instead of looking for her, why don't we look for Pavilion Leader Wang Qiong?"

"That's right. Look for Pavilion Leader Wang Qiong. Old Wu, isn't Wu Yu from the Wu Family engaged to Pavilion Leader Wang Qiong? If you look for him, he should give you some face."

Wu Yu's father was a Primordial Core expert and had a high status in the family. After hearing this, he laughed bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I can't give him face because we haven't seen each other for decades."

"What's there to be afraid of? The relationship between father and daughter is deep. Even if we don't see each other, our hearts are connected."

Wu Yu's father shook his head and said, "It's useless. The Wu Family gave up on the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion previously, which is equivalent to giving up on Wu Yu. When both parties got married, there were elements of an alliance through marriage. However, what happened in the end made the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion and Wu Yu disappointed."

Seeing that Wu Yu's father was unwilling to go, someone beside him said, "Brother Shangguan, the Shangguan Family has an extraordinary relationship with Zi Chen. Why don't you go and talk to him? Shangguan Bing Xi is with Zhang Haotian and she's still living in the Shangguan Family. Furthermore, Shangguan Yue 'er and Zi Chen are husband and wife. Why don't you try looking for Zi Chen?"

Shangguan Feixiong laughed bitterly as well. "I'm afraid there's no room for discussion. The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion is in trouble. I tricked my daughter into coming back and she's been locked up ever since. Furthermore, Yue 'er has already drawn a clear line with the Shangguan Family. Now, the Shangguan Family has nothing to do with the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion."

"What's the harm in trying? This is an opportunity. As long as we tell Zi Chen about our relationship, I'm sure he'll agree. This time, he's not only helping us but also the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. Would he watch us get chased out and then the Demon Race chased them out?"

This time, everyone was silent. However, for the sake of benefits, they still had to fight for it.

Hence, the next day, Shangguan Feixiong left the Ancient Beast World and headed to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. As for Wu Yu's father, he went to look for Wang Qiong.

From afar, he saw Wang Qiong controlling a Purple Gold Gourd. The Purple Gold Gourd was as big as a mountain. It was upside down in the air, and an illusory light shone from the mouth of the gourd.

This illusory light shrouded an area of a few miles below. Following Wang Qiong's shout, a strong suction force came from the mouth of the gourd. Under this suction force, the mineral vein below began to shake. It was as if a giant was lifting it up. The entire mineral vein, along with the ground, was lifted up inch by inch.

He was going to absorb the entire mineral vein. This scene stunned Wu Yu's father.

Rumbling sounds continued. After about two hours, the mineral vein was completely absorbed by the Purple Gold Gourd.

Wang Qiong looked at the deep pit that was dozens of miles wide and shouted, "Clean up the surroundings. If you find a mineral vein, take it away. We'll go to the next one."

After many years of development, the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion had many Elixir Realm cultivators. However, there were even more Flying Realm and True Energy Realm cultivators. There were hundreds of thousands of them. Hence, it would be faster to take the entire mineral vein and mine it outside.

Wu Yu's father saw Wang Qiong, but they didn't speak. Wang Qiong was very busy. He didn't even have time to rest. After using up his Origin Energy, he immediately swallowed pills to recover. Then, he collected mineral veins one after another.

At the same time, Ling 'er was holding a golden storage bangle. This was the one that Zi Chen had obtained from an Origin Realm cultivator from the Jin family. The space inside was huge and could store living things.

Now, Ling 'er wasn't just hunting ancient beasts. She was collecting large amounts of living ancient beasts so that she could raise them in the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion in the future.

It was troublesome to dissect them after killing them, but it was too easy to capture them alive.

She would go forward, knock them out, and collect them.

This wanton collection continued for three months.

After three months, the people from the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion voluntarily left the Ancient Beast World.
