Chapter 272: Chapter 273: The New Pavilion Master (4th Update) (Please Bookmark, Tip, and Recommend)

With a person like Chu Fengmian, a harbinger of death within Cold Snow Pavilion, even Han Ning Saint would find no peace in her sleep or comfort in her meals. Now, what she wished for most was for Chu Fengmian to leave.

Facing such a madman, no one was inclined to provoke him further.

Chu Fengmian’s nature was utterly lawless, acting without fear or consideration, a person absolutely nobody wanted to provoke.

"I will leave immediately."

Chu Fengmian smiled and addressed Han Yueli who was beside him.

"Let’s go."

Chu Fengmian then turned his head, ready to depart.

"Wait, hold on."

Something suddenly crossed Han Ning Saint’s mind, and she called out to Chu Fengmian.

"What is it?"

Chu Fengmian turned around and halted in his tracks.

"Chu Fengmian, in a few days’ time, the battle between the Six Nations will commence, you must be aware of this," Han Ning Saint spoke slowly.

"The Six Nations battle is upon us and our Cold Snow Pavilion is already suffering from a shortage of talent. Now that our current Pavilion Master, Han Xuanbing, has also fallen, our Pavilion is likely to suffer heavy losses in this Six Nations battle."

Han Ning Saint spoke, surprisingly raising the matter of the Six Nations battle.

The battle between the Six Nations was a massive challenge for any power within the Wusheng kingdoms, and it hit the four great sects like the Cold Snow Pavilion especially hard.

For the powerful from the other five kingdoms, destroying one of the four great sects like Cold Snow Pavilion would be considered a significant achievement.

Now that Cold Snow Pavilion was weakened and its only Saint, Han Ning Saint, could not fully engage in the battle, it could be said that the Pavilion had no strong fighters to rely on.

"Do you want me to help Cold Snow Pavilion withstand the Six Nations battle?"

Chu Fengmian understood her implication upon hearing Han Ning Saint’s words.

For Han Ning Saint, she absolutely didn’t want to interact with Chu Fengmian, but given the current circumstances, he was instead the best candidate.

If someone could help Cold Snow Pavilion through this crisis, Chu Fengmian was the prime choice.

Firstly, Chu Fengmian didn’t belong to any major power, making him someone they could possibly attract.

Although Chu Fengmian came from the Wusheng Academy, his relationship with the Academy was not amicable, you might say that Chu Fengmian and the Wusheng Academy had merely a transactional relationship.

With the departure of the Saint of Xuanbei, Chu Fengmian currently had little to do with the Wusheng Academy.

Secondly, there was the relationship between Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli; after all, Han Yueli was a disciple of Cold Snow Pavilion. With this connection, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t be overly hostile towards Cold Snow Pavilion.

This could be seen from the time when Chu Fengmian spared Mo Miaohai’s life.

These two connections might indeed serve to successfully attract Chu Fengmian. With his help, Cold Snow Pavilion could minimize its losses in the Six Nations battle.

"Indeed, that’s exactly what I mean," replied Han Ning Saint forthrightly.

"There is no major enmity between you and Cold Snow Pavilion. The deaths of Han Xuanbing and Mo Ruoxue were the consequences of their own actions."

"If you are willing to help Cold Snow Pavilion face the Six Nations battle, you can name your reward. Whether it be elixirs or Spiritual Medicine, as long as our Pavilion can provide it, we will."

Han Ning Saint spoke with great openness; indeed, if Chu Fengmian were to aid Cold Snow Pavilion against the Six Nations battle,

Any amount of wealth or benefit would be insignificant.

For a large sect, its disciples are of the utmost importance. The Six Nations battle is notoriously brutal, with nearly half of all disciples expected to perish.

Moreover, with Cold Snow Pavilion currently facing a scarcity of talent and few strong warriors, there’s a possibility that after this Six Nations battle, the Pavilion’s disciples may be reduced by seventy percent. In such a case, Cold Snow Pavilion would truly fall from grace.

In order to prevent that, Han Ning Saint had no choice but to make a costly effort to win over Chu Fengmian.

"Costs to be named by me?"

Upon hearing Han Ning Saint’s words, Chu Fengmian’s eyes shifted as he glanced at Han Yueli beside him and spoke,

"This matter is not impossible, after all, I indeed will be involved in the war among the six nations. Should a Cold Snow Pavilion Disciple be in danger, I can lend a hand."

"As for the condition?"

Chu Fengmian looked at Han Yueli and suddenly smiled,

"Let Yue Li take up the position as the new Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion."

"What?"

Han Yueli exclaimed in surprise, her face in a moment of shock.

She had not expected Chu Fengmian to propose such a condition.

"Han Yueli to serve as the Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion?"

Han Ning Saint glanced at Han Yueli, speaking calmly,

"That won’t do. Her strength is not sufficient. A peak Empery Boundary individual, who hasn’t even stepped into the realm of a Semi-Saint—how can she command respect as the Pavilion Master?"

"Who says she can’t command respect? Although Yue Li’s current realm is only at the peak of the Empery Boundary, within three months, I am confident she can step into the realm of a Saint."

Chu Fengmian smiled and continued,

"Her body holds the medicinal strength of the Spiritual Medicine."

"Spiritual Medicine..."

Upon hearing these words, Han Ning Saint pondered for a moment.

If Han Yueli bore the medicinal strength of the Spiritual Medicine, it indeed indicated that she was merely a step away from entering the realm of Saints and accessing Divine Power.

A Disciple at the peak of Empery Boundary might not be capable of serving as the Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion, but a Saint, even one who had just broken through, would indeed qualify for this position.

"Moreover, if Yue Li serves as Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion, naturally, I will act should the Pavilion face danger."

Chu Fengmian laughed heartily as he looked toward Han Ning Saint,

"This condition, you should be able to agree to it, right?"

Han Ning Saint nodded in response,

"It is possible."

"Elder!"

Hearing these words, Mo Miaohai, who was nearby, turned pale. As the vice-Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion, she had believed that, following the death of Han Xuanbing, the next Pavilion Master’s position would surely be hers. However, these two statements had now shattered all her hopes, sending them plummeting into the abyss.

"Good. Han Ning Saint is indeed decisive. With that settled, from now on, should Cold Snow Pavilion face any danger, I will naturally come."

"The old man will announce it immediately. From today, Han Yueli shall be the new Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion."

Han Ning Saint declared, then, with a flash, he left.

With the six nations’ war imminent, he too had to go and arrange the plan.

The onlookers who had gathered around soon also dispersed, passing on this news to others.

In an instant, the news of Han Yueli taking up the post as the new Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion had already spread throughout the Wusheng Domain.

"Why did you want me to take on the role of Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion?"

Only after the crowd had dispersed did Han Yueli softly ask.

The role of Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion was not something Han Yueli had never considered, but such an abrupt appointment left her initially at a loss.
