Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Coercion

“Shangguan Mingxin, from today onwards, you are the Captain of the Starry Divine Guard Corps,” Su Han said.

“Me?”

Shangguan Mingxin was stunned for a moment.

“Aren’t you going to quickly thank the Pavilion Master?” Lian Yuze reminded from the side.

“Thank you, Pavilion Master, thank you, Pavilion Master.”

Shangguan Mingxin’s personality was somewhat like Xiao Yuran’s, though clearly more mature.

From then on, the God-Slaying Pavilion’s Divine Guard Corps gained another—the Starry Divine Guard!

From the original Four Great Divine Guard Regiments, it had become the now Five Divine Guard Corps, and the Starry Divine Guard Corps had the highest number of members among them.

Immortal Cultivators might not be common in Dragon Martial Continent, but in the Star Region, they were numerous.

Compared with Mages, it wasn’t clear who was stronger or weaker, for they were simply on different levels of cultivation.

Su Han had once seen a supreme Magic God, sweeping away several Tribulation-Crossing to Immortality powerhouses. He had also seen a warrior like the Sun Sword God, one who with a single sword forced several Magic Gods to flee for their lives.

No matter the method of cultivation, it all depended on one’s own inherent strength.

Mages, in comparison to Immortal Cultivators, were much frailer since casting magic required time. During this period, if they weren’t protected, or didn’t protect themselves, they could likely be killed before they even completed their spells.

However, once a Mage successfully cast a spell, their attack power was absolutely higher than that of an Immortal Cultivator of the same level.

Conversely, although Immortal Cultivators might have slightly lower attack power, their ability to preserve their lives was extremely strong.

Between the two, each had its advantages and disadvantages.

Naturally, whether advantages or disadvantages, Mages and Immortal Cultivators were still much more powerful than the realms from Dragon Martial Continent.

It could be said to be a difference in the levels of life.

Just like the Low-Level Star Domain, Intermediate Star Region, and High-Level Star Domain within the Star Region, the places where Mages and Immortal Cultivators lived were all within the High-Level Star Domain, while Dragon Martial Continent was but the weakest abandoned planet within a Low-Level Star Domain.

…

The recruitment of disciples by the God-Slaying Pavilion continued.

Originally, Su Han had not planned to recruit so many disciples, nor had he expected so many people to sign up, but now the large number of people wanting to join the God-Slaying Pavilion was pleasing.

Particularly, the proportion of those with special constitutions was very surprising to Su Han, so he temporarily changed his decision and planned to raise the number of disciples to ten thousand.

For a Ninth-Rate Sect, ten thousand disciples was really not many.

Days later, Su Han exited his room and handed two crystal stones to Liuyun and Hong Chen.

“Liuyun, this crystal stone can test the strength of magic elements in certain areas. Once you discover a strong area, immediately notify the sect,” Su Han instructed.

“Hong Chen, this crystal stone can test the strength of nature’s spiritual energy in certain areas. Just like Liuyun, if you find a place where it is strong, the crystal stone will naturally emit light,” he continued.

“Yes,” both acknowledged with a nod.

It wasn’t long before the two set off with their respective Divine Guard Regiments to start their search.

The God-Slaying Pavilion was not like other sects that only needed nature’s spiritual energy. Since the God-Slaying Pavilion had Mages, they needed to find places where magic elements were abundant.

Similar to the cultivation realms of the Dragon Martial Continent, people from Dragon Martial Continent used spirit stones for cultivation, whereas Mages used demon crystals.

Su Han knew that with the vastness of the Dragon Martial Continent and the abundance of magic elements, there would definitely be many places rich in demon crystals.

Once these places were discovered, the God-Slaying Pavilion would thoroughly possess the capital to rise. Otherwise, merely absorbing magic elements was far from sufficient.

As for nature’s spiritual energy…

This really was a headache for Su Han.

After the formation of the Starry Divine Guard Corps, those in need of nature’s spiritual energy were not just practitioners of the martial path anymore.

Instead, immortal cultivators required infinitely more nature’s spiritual energy than martial artists did.

No one fought over magic elements, but nature’s spiritual energy was extremely needed throughout the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

Especially as the number of sect disciples increased, if these resources weren’t found quickly, sustaining their cultivation would be impossible.

Fortunately, after exterminating the Blood Demon Sect, the God-Slaying Pavilion had obtained some gold coins, and although five billion had been returned to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, more than three billion remained, along with those two large mines, which could slightly maintain things for a while.

…

Three days later.

Yuanshan County, the Lin Family.

“Miss Xiao gracing us with your presence truly brings glory to the Lin Family!”

In the council hall of the Lin Family, nearly all the higher-ups of the Lin Family were present, the surroundings filled with the family’s guest elders, while Lin Chengsong, sitting in the principal seat, opened his mouth with a flattering smile.

“Why didn’t you notify me beforehand? I could have gone out to welcome you.”

Lin Chengsong gestured with a wave, “Someone, prepare the finest food immediately, today I shall properly host Miss Xiao!”

“No need.”

Xiao Yuhui stood below, expressionless, and said, “Today I come to the Lin Family to tell the Lin Family Head personally, to immediately take all members of the Lin Family and leave Yuanshan County, from now on, I do not allow a single person surnamed Lin to remain in Yuanshan County.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around, including Lin Chengsong, changed.

Lin Chengsong knew that Xiao Yuhui’s visit today would definitely not bring anything good.

But at this moment, Xiao Yuhui’s status was too high, it was said she had become the captain of the Divine Guardian Regiment of the Dragon Suppression in the God-Slaying Pavilion.

Although Lin Chengsong did not know exactly what kind of force the God-Slaying Pavilion was, knowing it was a Ninth-Rate Sect was enough.

No sect was something these minor families could afford to provoke!

Moreover, the God-Slaying Pavilion had directly annihilated the Blood Demon Sect upon its establishment, and this matter had spread throughout the entire Yuanshan County, who wouldn’t know?

That’s why Lin Chengsong was so wary, always keeping a smile on his face when speaking, after all, the old saying goes well, you don’t strike a smiling face.

However, what he never expected was that Xiao Yuhui, upon opening her mouth, demanded the Lin Family be removed from Yuanshan County!

The Four Great Families of Yuanshan County have lived here since the older generation, having been here for hundreds of years, one could say all their foundations were here.

Tell them to leave? Where would they go?

“Miss Xiao, are you… joking?” Lin Chengsong forced a smile.

“Joking?”

Xiao Yuhui slightly raised her eyes, looking at Lin Chengsong, and said coldly, “The Pavilion Master has ordered, if the Lin Family resists, kill without mercy!”

“My Lin Family, it seems we have not offended the God-Slaying Pavilion, have we?” Lin Chengsong furrowed his brows.

He really didn’t know how he had provoked the God-Slaying Pavilion, given that the Lin Family would not have enough time to hide, let alone provoke them.

“Not offended?”

Xiao Yuhui suddenly smiled, “Back then, the Lin Family and the Chen Family together besieged the Su Family, wanting to kill the pavilion master, to avenge your son. Tell me, have you not offended?”
