Chapter 396 Reward
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows, exchanged a glance with Jiu Xiao, and then lifted the carriage curtain to get out of the carriage.
As soon as Ye Qing'an got out of the car, she saw five women dressed in red standing in front of her. All the women wore veils and had flame-shaped decorations on their foreheads.
Behind the four women was a large tree, about the size of a house, with a door in the trunk bearing three characters: Huohuang Pavilion.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "A reward?"
The woman at the head of the group smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes, the reward."
"The Fire Emperor Pavilion is a very mysterious sect in the martial arts world, both righteous and evil. However, because we live in seclusion and usually disappear after being active for several decades, although there are legends about the Fire Emperor Pavilion in the martial arts world, there are not many people who actually know where the Fire Emperor Pavilion is."
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "Fire Radiance Pavilion, a sect, was founded by the former Nine Yuan Supreme and has been passed down as a reward to the Nine Yuan Supreme, and belongs to the Nine Yuan Supreme?"
"Yes."
“Every few years, after the death of a master, everyone in the Fire Glory Pavilion will select a suitable successor, train him from childhood, and then wait for the successor to be able to take over his duties before retiring and sacrificing himself for the Fire Glory Pavilion.”
"The people of the Fire Radiance Pavilion never marry. They use the flame between their eyebrows as a means to sense their master's condition and the Cloud Dream Realm. They only select successors with excellent aptitude and talent to pass on the tradition from generation to generation."
Ye Qing'an's gaze lingered on the flame between the woman's brows for a moment, then he nodded gently: "I understand. What's your name?"
"My subordinate, Shen Qingdai, is the current head of the Huohuang Pavilion."
Shen Qingdai stepped aside slightly: "These four are the four guardians of the pavilion: Su Mu, Jiang Li, Lan Ru, and Xia Bing."
Ye Qing'an nodded, raised her eyes to look at the four characters "Huohuang Pavilion" written on the tree, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
Excellent, she should really thank those Nine-Yuan Supremes.
They were very thoughtful; they even brought me a pillow when it got dark.
At the beginning of her cultivation, he knew to leave her an alchemy furnace and a library to help her improve her skills.
And later, the spiritual herbs, spiritual stones, and spiritual weapons, step by step, could meet her urgent needs at each stage of cultivation.
After finally cultivating to the Supreme level, he presented this even greater gift.
Previously, she had been thinking about how to quickly establish her own power base and intelligence network to gather information for her own use.
It's just that she spent too much time in the other world and only had a short time in this world. Even though she had already thrown in a lot of money, she still hadn't seen even a rudimentary form.
At this moment, the appearance of Huohuang Pavilion solved her immediate problem.
"Would you like to come inside and take a look, Master?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Let's go take a look."
Shen Qingdai raised her hand slightly, and the tree gate behind them opened, revealing torches burning on both sides, which looked quite spectacular.
Ye Qing'an followed Shen Qingdai inside. After a few steps, she realized that there was a whole world beyond the tree.
After walking for a while, they came to a very deep and high cliff cave. In front of them and on both sides, there were three iron chain bridges. After crossing the iron chain bridge, which was about twenty meters long, there was an altar in the middle that was several meters higher than the iron chain bridge.
The iron chain bridge passes through the middle of the altar. Ahead, there is another iron chain bridge, but this time, thick fog covers the area beneath it, making it almost impossible to see anything.
After walking for a while, a pavilion that was about six or seven stories high could be vaguely seen.
"That's the Ziwei Pavilion, used as a meeting place for the pavilion master and elders to discuss matters and handle some affairs within the pavilion."
"Behind the Ziwei Pavilion lies the true heartland of the Huohuang Pavilion, which is quite well-equipped, with various training grounds, academies, living quarters, libraries, and private prisons..."
Ye Qing'an nodded slightly without saying a word.
Jiuxiao smacked his lips and said, "It's not bad, but the lighting is a little off."
Shen Qingdai laughed: "That's indeed the case. It's because the Fire Radiance Pavilion is built among the trees and in the mountains. The lighting is poor, but it's very secluded. This is also why the Fire Radiance Pavilion was once very popular, but it was never discovered by those in power."
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this place an underground palace."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Shen Qingdai and found the idea of an underground palace quite interesting.
Shen Qingdai also laughed: "This is a direct quote from the records about Huohuang Pavilion that I read in the pavilion before."
Shen Qingdai led Ye Qing'an to the very top of the Ziwei Pavilion: "From here, you can take in the entire Huohuang Pavilion."
Ye Qing'an nodded and looked around. Ahead was the place they had just come from. The altar was towering, and there was an iron chain bridge in each of the four directions. Below the iron chain bridges, it was all dark and shrouded in a thin mist.
"What's down there?" Jiuxiao asked curiously. "It looks rather frightening."
Shen Qingdai smiled and said, "Below, below are tens of thousands of skeletons."
"..."
Jiuxiao shuddered: "So we just now..."
“It’s like we walked over the bones of countless people.” Shen Qingdai picked up where Jiu Xiao left off, her voice filled with even more laughter: “Isn’t that interesting?”
"You're lying to me, right?" Jiu Xiao's eyes widened.
"Why would I lie to you?" Shen Qingdai laughed heartily. "As the saying goes, 'One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand.' The Fire Glory Pavilion has been able to survive for hundreds of years, and the things it has gone through are far more than just the bones of ten thousand."
"Among the corpses below are petty villains who intended to attack our Fire Radiance Pavilion, traitors who chose to leave the pavilion for various reasons, and people who were punished for doing wrong."
Jiuxiao trembled all over: "Terrifying."
Shen Qingdai glanced at Ye Qing'an, but saw that Ye Qing'an did not show any fear on his face and his expression was very calm.
Ye Qing'an seemed to notice Shen Qingdai's gaze, turned her head and smiled gently at Shen Qingdai, and then walked to the other side of the Ziwei Pavilion, where a completely different scene unfolded.
The back is divided into several courtyards, with mountains and water, and even flowers and plants, pavilions and towers, with green bricks and gray tiles, which looks very lively.
You can see people everywhere. Some are walking around, some are sweating profusely on the training ground, some are tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, and some are reading books under the eaves.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Is the entire Huohuang Pavilion staffed by women?"
Shen Qingdai nodded, but smiled as she glanced at Ye Qing'an: "Because, Master, you are a woman..."
"As I mentioned before, the people in the Fire Glory Pavilion are not allowed to marry or have children, and no one is allowed to have private relationships. To avoid this situation, the best solution is naturally to be of the same gender."
