"Thank you, thank you both Sect Leader Sirs for your care, and thank you to all the brothers for your concerns," Wang Xiaoqiang clasped his fists towards everyone, sincerely expressing his gratitude.
Everyone looked at the lightning mark on Wang Xiaoqiang's brow, and apart from Zuo Dao, they all felt a surge of excitement. The significance of the Heavenly Eye was extraordinary. Wang Xiaoqiang acquiring the Heavenly Eye was a great fortune, making everyone immensely envious.
At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang was treated as a revered figure, surrounded by everyone, and welcomed into the first-floor hall of the Wind Rain Pavilion. Then, Wang Xiaoqiang sat with Sect Leader Black Tornado and Deputy Sect Leader Lord Anqing for a conversation, as nobody else had the standing to sit equally with them, and they each went about their own business.
Sect Leader Black Tornado smiled wryly, "Little Qiang, I initially planned to retire and enjoy a leisurely life, allowing you to take my place. But now it seems, that may no longer be possible."
He sighed after speaking.
Lord Anqing said, "Little Qiang, what are your plans from here on?"
Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "I've been here at the Wind Rain Pavilion for so long that I've come to see it as my home. I wanted to continue serving here, but in the Martial World, one cannot act solely on one's desires. Now that I've been appointed to take over the Windrise Tribe, I must go and guard it. As you know, the Windrise Tribe is not like other tribes; it's a place of strife. Ensuring nothing happens there isn't easy, so I can't be distracted. I must resign from my duties here at the Wind Rain Pavilion."
"Indeed, the Windrise Tribe is a troublesome place, often facing invasions from Evil Immortals. The Heavenly Emperor entrusting the tribe to you naturally hopes you can safeguard it and maintain its peace. We dare not hold you back. Rest assured, you can leave with peace of mind. The Wind Rain Pavilion will always be your home, and you are welcome anytime..." Sect Leader Black Tornado said.
"I appreciate the understanding from both Sect Leaders. I will visit often to see both Sect Leaders and all the brothers in the future," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I also hope both of you will visit the Windrise Tribe. You will be the most honored guests there..."
"Haha, Little Qiang, with your words, we are satisfied," Lord Anqing said. "We hope you can stay a few more days at the Wind Rain Pavilion before heading to the Windrise Tribe."
Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I must first take over at the Windrise Tribe and then welcome Chang Xiuyue into the household..."
"Chang Xiuyue? Is she the eldest granddaughter of Domain Lord Chang Tianfeng?" Sect Leader Black Tornado asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's her."
"Ah, Little Qiang, what good fortune you have. Chang Xiuyue is the most famous beauty in our Anyang Region. It's said that she is also... ahem..." Lord Anqing wanted to say she possessed the Taiyin Body but hesitated due to the sensitivity of the topic and chose not to continue.
"Little Qiang, congratulations, this is great news. We certainly won't stop you, but we will be coming over to have a wedding drink. You won't stop us, will you?" Sect Leader Black Tornado said.
"Of course not. If both of you come, I would be more than delighted," Wang Xiaoqiang said sincerely.
"Good, let us know when you are having the big celebration, and we will certainly come to congratulate you," Lord Anqing said.
Just then, Lord Anqing's Communication Talisman rang, notifying them that the banquet was ready and inviting the three to take their seats.
"Little Qiang, everyone has prepared a banquet, first to welcome you, and second to celebrate your triumphant return. Come, let's head over together..." Lord Anqing stood and said.
At that moment, the three of them proceeded to the dining room for a drink.
It was a rare occasion for everyone at the Wind Rain Pavilion to gather together for a meal, bringing hundreds of people into one hall, where they drank and made merry. They filled their bellies, downed large bowls of wine, ate meat by the mouthful, and called each other brothers as they clinked glasses, turning the Assassin Organization into something resembling a Martial World gang.
During the banquet, from Sect Leader Black Tornado to the most ordinary assassin, everyone came to toast Wang Xiaoqiang. Not putting on airs, Wang Xiaoqiang drank with any who toasted him, consuming quite a bit of alcohol.
Having drunk a substantial amount, he stayed the night at the Wind Rain Pavilion. That night, emboldened by drink, he boldly brought Immortal Fairy Zixia and Ling Xuefei into his quarters, indulging in wild ecstasy, a dragon playing with two phoenixes, utterly happy. After a night of passion, he fell asleep and the next day temporarily bid farewell to everyone, carrying his official seal as he flew alone towards the Windrise Tribe.
Previously, the Windrise Tribe had been under the rule of the "King of Harasser," who implemented a tyrannical regime, exploiting the people's wealth and oppressing them. As Evil Immortals invaded and harmed the populace, the King of Harasser was only concerned with asserting his dominance, completely ignoring the people's lives and deaths,
When Evil Immortals invaded and swept through, he would merely send troops to feign a token resistance, never making a genuine effort to combat them,
The Windrise Tribe was beset with internal and external troubles, causing the people to live in misery and resentment. This situation was naturally noticed by the Domain Lord above, but due to the King of Harasser's long-standing stronghold in the Windrise Tribe, with his forces deeply interwoven and rooted, removing this tumor was not an easy task,
Not to mention the concerns of being unable to control the tribe if its leadership was suddenly changed. The Domain Lord above endured until the present Golden Immortal Ranking competition, using it as an opportunity to petition the Heavenly Emperor, who promptly dismissed the King of Harasser,
The Biluo Heavenly Emperor appointed Wang Xiaoqiang as the King of the Windrise Tribe, employing the talented and capable, feeling that Wang Xiaoqiang was up to the task, and that others might not be able to safeguard it.
Indeed, this was the reality. After the King of Harasser was dismissed, he was filled with rage with no outlet. Hearing that the authority called upon a newcomer, Wang Xiaoqiang, from the most recent Golden Immortal Ranking, to take over the Windrise Tribe, his fury reached a boiling point, and murderous intent was born.
The King of Harasser's three sons, his subordinates, and many loyal followers, expressed their strong dissatisfaction and repeatedly urged the King of Harasser to eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang, ideally removing any replacements until the authorities reinstated the King of Harasser to oversee the Windrise Tribe.
The King of Harasser was originally appointed to govern the Windrise Tribe because of his remarkable talent, regarded as a genius. At the time, he was a Half-Step Purple Mansion Immortal. After fifty years of cultivation, he now possessed the cultivation base of a Purple Mansion Immortal Second Ice Realm, and his eldest son was a False Purple Mansion. His second and third sons were both Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm, with many highly cultivated followers. Among them, there were over a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm experts, making them a formidable force, leading the King of Harasser to act arrogantly and recklessly, indulging in his whims without restraint.
Suffice it to say that even without his subordinates' urgings, the King of Harasser would not easily allow Wang Xiaoqiang to take control of the Windrise Tribe.
The Windrise Tribe is, after all, the largest tribe in the Biluo Realm, boasting beautiful landscapes and abundant talents. It produces numerous beauties, including those with the Taiyin Body, eliciting envy and desire,
Of course, the most significant factor is the area's rich Spiritual Energy, making it a prime location for cultivation. Therefore, the King of Harasser grew increasingly unwilling to let go of the Windrise Tribe, plotting to reclaim control.
So, it is not just Wang Xiaoqiang; even someone stronger than him would face elimination.
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was en route to the Windrise Tribe, the King of Harasser mobilized his forces, discreetly positioning them to prepare for an assassination attempt on Wang Xiaoqiang.
Given that Wang Xiaoqiang secured first place in this Golden Immortal Ranking competition, his strength is undoubtedly formidable, requiring a Purple Mansion Immortal to kill him. Thus, the King of Harasser personally took command, intending to personally end Wang Xiaoqiang's life.
However, Wang Xiaoqiang was entirely unaware of this. He rode the Patterned Beast, flying directly to the Windrise Tribe, oblivious to the approaching danger. (To be continued.
