At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 321 Butterfly Wings
The Four Directions Pavilion, as a first-class power in the Central Plains, is located in four different regions of the Central Plains.

The headquarters of the Starfall Pavilion is located in the Tianxing Mountains in the southern region of Zhongzhou. This place is a natural barrier formed by a meteorite that fell from the sky. The outside is a naturally formed starfall array, and the inside is a space constructed by the star power of the meteorite, which is secluded in a corner.

In the Eastern Region of Central State, where the Myriad Swords Pavilion is located, most of the territory has been occupied by ancient clans. The sects and forces here either choose to ally with the ancient clans or can only keep a low profile, with no room for development whatsoever.

The Western Regions of Zhongzhou, where the Yellow Springs Pavilion is located, are mostly extremely gloomy. Only a sect or force with a somewhat sinister nature, like the Soul Hall, would choose to establish its sect in such a place.

Of the four pavilions, the most ambitious is the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Located in the northern region of Zhongzhou, the Fenglei Pavilion established four branch pavilions in the east, west, south, and north to expand its influence, encircling the entire northern region and becoming a true behemoth controlling the northern part of Zhongzhou. The Fenglei Pavilion's headquarters, the Fenglei East Pavilion, was even built in the Fenglei Mountains at the border of the northern and central regions, subtly showing a trend of expansion into the central region.

Although the East Pavilion is the most powerful among the four pavilions of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, any one of the other three pavilions is qualified to barely squeeze into the ranks of the top-tier forces in the Central Plains.

Qifeng Mountain is quite famous throughout the northern region of Zhongzhou.

It is not because there is a phoenix in the mountain, but because the Fenglei North Pavilion stands on this mountain.

Qifeng Mountain is quite steep and steep, and the peaks are shrouded in a thick layer of fog, giving it a fairyland-like feeling.

The top of Qifeng Mountain looks like it was split in half by a giant axe. On top of it, many buildings are hidden in the lush greenery, appearing and disappearing. The most eye-catching thing on the entire mountain top is a giant silver tower on the highest peak.

This colossal tower, soaring straight into the clouds, is called the Northern Thunder Tower. Its entire body is covered in a dazzling silver, and faint sounds of thunder can be heard emanating from within. This is the sacred cultivation ground of the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion; only those with outstanding performance are qualified to enter and cultivate within.

The highest floor of Beilei Pagoda is a rather empty hall. There are several people sitting in the hall at this moment. A majestic momentum permeates the hall, making the guards at the door of the hall tremble. .

"Elder Yun's Soul Thunder Tablet has been shattered."

In the center of the hall, there is a silver throne. A faint lightning light spreads around the chair. On it, a figure in a silver robe leans lightly on the chair. A pair of silver-gray eyes slowly sweeps below, and a faint voice echoes in the hall.

His voice wasn't particularly loud, but it had a strong sense of pressure that made people dare not ignore it easily.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three elderly men, each dressed in different robes, changed drastically below the main hall. They knew the Soul Thunder Tablet all too well. It contained a trace of their soul imprints; if they were to perish one day, the Soul Thunder Tablet would shatter. Therefore, Shen Yun…
"Someone dares to attack my Fenglei Beige people in the Northern Region of Zhongzhou? Could it be someone from the Wanjian Pavilion?" A black-clad old man with two long silver eyebrows said in a gloomy voice.

"I don't know yet. Elder Yun accompanied Hong Chen to Tianbei City this time, right? Elders Feng, Lei, and Dian, you should set off and investigate what happened. No matter who attacked, even if it was someone from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, capture them first. The people of my Fenglei Northern Pavilion are not so easily killed." The figure in silver robes on the throne said slowly.

"Yes!"

The three elders immediately stood up, respectfully responded, and then their figures flashed out as light and shadow, quickly disappearing from sight.

With the disappearance of the three elders, the hall became empty and quiet once again. After a while, the figure on the throne slowly stood up, and with a light wave of his sleeve, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the hall.

"They dare to mess with someone from my Fenglei Beige here; they're really bold. If we don't find them, those two will laugh at us."

In the northern part of Zhongzhou, in a certain desolate wilderness.

"Heh heh heh, try to escape? Where can you possibly run to in this world?"

A chilling laugh echoed across the wasteland. The black-robed man flicked his sleeve, and two jet-black chains shot out like venomous snakes! The chains tore through the air at a breathtaking speed, twisting and coiling eerily in the air, instantly piercing the chests of two Dou Huang powerhouses! "Pfft!"

The chains trembled slowly, hoisting the two still-warm corpses high into the air. Amidst the churning black mist, two ethereal souls were forcibly extracted, emitting mournful howls before being completely devoured by the chains. The soulless bodies were carelessly discarded like rags.

"The souls of ordinary powerhouses are ultimately no match for those of alchemists," the black-robed man shook his head regretfully. "If the Pill Tower weren't stationed in the Central Region of the Central Plains, why would I, the Protector, have gone to such lengths? A large-scale massacre there would have completed the mission much sooner."

"That piece of trash, Protector Vulture, actually missed such a great opportunity to capture Venerable Medicine and died in a place like the Northwest Region of the continent. If it were me, I would have succeeded long ago."

"I heard that a seventh-grade low-level alchemist was certified in a branch tower in the Northern Region. If we can capture his soul and bring it back to the Soul Palace, hehehe, we will receive a reward and may even become a respected elder."

"We must act before he reaches the Central Region of Zhongzhou. Once he arrives in the Central Region, the Pill Tower's control will be much greater."

As he muttered to himself, the surviving powerhouses around him were already terrified and retreated frantically. Facing a Dou Zong powerhouse, they didn't even have the right to fight to the death; rushing forward would only add a few more corpses to the deadly chains.

Zhongzhou, Zhongyu, Danyu.

In a void space far in the center of the inner domain of Saint Pill City, several blurry figures floated silently.

"The Three Thousand Burning Flames will grow stronger as it absorbs the light of the stars, and we cannot seal it forever. However, it harbors a great grudge against us, and if the seal is broken, the entire Saint Pill City will likely be destroyed. Therefore, it would be best if someone could subdue it. Of course, the person who subdues it must not be someone like the Soul Hall. The souls of many alchemists on the continent have fallen into their hands." An ancient voice slowly echoed from the void.

"What exactly are those guys from the Soul Palace trying to do? They've captured so many souls... Sigh, I feel a bit uneasy."

A low, questioning voice also quietly rose up.

"The Soul Hall also has a great interest in the Three Thousand Burning Flames. According to some intelligence, the Soul Hall will also send people to this Pill Gathering. If they manage to get into the top ten, they will definitely make a move on the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

As soon as the person finished speaking, the space fell silent.

"It's time for more outstanding young people to step forward." After a long silence, a deep and aged voice slowly rang out.

"Speaking of outstanding young alchemists, I just received a message from Situ Yun of the Northern Region Branch Tower, saying that a low-level seventh-grade alchemist in his twenties has appeared in their Northern Region. Moreover, Situ Yun's words implied that the person's true alchemy skills are far more than that."

"Heh, a seventh-grade alchemist in his early twenties? I'd really like to meet him, but I wonder how he compares to those two from the Cao and Dan families?"

"Those two are both monstrous talents. At this rate, they are very qualified to become the next generation of giants of the Pill Tower a hundred years from now."

"Alright, let's not worry about anything else. The Pill Gathering is about to begin, so let's focus on making sure it goes well. As for the Soul Palace, although they are strong, they can't control everything. If there's some earth-shattering conspiracy, the ancient clans and some reclusive ancient forces won't let them run rampant. What we need to do now is prevent the Three Thousand Burning Flames from falling into the hands of the Soul Palace. Let's disperse for now, and everyone should be more careful during this time."

"As for that young seventh-grade alchemist, send someone to bring him to the Pill Domain. Especially at times like this, we must ensure the safety of these excellent alchemists."

"Um"

With the final response, the void returned to silence, and the figures gradually disappeared.
