Chapter 620: Declaration of War!

Tian Leizi quickly stood up from his seat and replied respectfully: "Pavilion Master, in my opinion, there are only two choices. One is to leave it alone... The Mercenary Guild will not attack any force without reason, but will only attack those who have no reason to hinder the construction of the branch. They have always relied on their own attraction to get the surrounding casual cultivators and even some families to join. Therefore, even if he develops to the North Region, our Fenglei Pavilion's industry will not suffer any losses!"

After talking about the first choice, Tian Leizi paused.

After listening to Tian Leizi's analysis of the first choice, Lei Zun did not express his opinion, but said calmly: "The second one, go on!"

"Pavilion Master, the second choice is... to kill the Mercenary Guild before it develops to the point where we cannot control it!" Tian Leizi made a gesture of wiping his neck and said quickly.

"Destroy the Mercenary Guild?"

Hearing what Tian Leizi said, the two branch pavilion masters of the West and South were shocked. They did not expect that the second solution analyzed by Tian Leizi would be so direct.

After listening to Tian Leizi's words, Lei Zun fell into deep thought.

The two options analyzed by Tian Leizi were relatively accurate, but Lei Zun did not agree with the first option. If the development of the Mercenary Guild was left alone, Feng Lei Pavilion would not suffer any losses in the short term and would continue to open its doors to teach disciples. However, it would lose its reputation as the overlord of the Northern Territory.

Lei Zun still valued this reputation very much. At least now, with the influence of Feng Lei Pavilion, it can command many families with Dou Zong masters in the Northern Territory. When it loses its status as the overlord of the Northern Territory, it will be on an equal footing with the Mercenary Guild in the future. Even, with the somewhat compatible model of the Mercenary Guild, the number of Dou Zong masters in the future will far exceed that of Feng Lei Pavilion itself. At that time, Feng Lei Pavilion will not be able to form a one-man show in the Northern Territory.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Lei Zun was more inclined to the second option mentioned by Tian Lei Zi, which was to wipe out the mercenary guild.

Having made up his mind, Lei Zun's eyes could not help but flash with murderous intent.

The change in Lei Zun's aura was immediately noticed by the three branch pavilion masters and some Dou Zong-level elders of Fenglei Pavilion, and their expressions became serious.

"A young boy dared to name a mercenary guild. Does he want to compete with the Central Region Dan Tower? Is he worthy?" Lei Zun said with a gloomy face, and his words were very unfriendly to the mercenary guild.

"It seems that the Pavilion Master's intention is to take action against the mercenary guild!"

Hearing this, everyone in the bottom floor of the silver giant tower guessed Lei Zun's decision.

The next moment, as expected by everyone, Lei Zun immediately issued an order: "Tian Lei Zi, you three listen, from now on, go and gather the Dou Zong elders of the affiliated forces within the jurisdiction of Fenglei Pavilion, and you must complete it within three months!"

"Yes, Pavilion Master!"

Hearing Lei Zun's order, Tian Lei Zi and the other two immediately bowed respectfully and replied.

Lei Zun's idea is very simple. Now, it is said that there are nearly 20 Dou Zong masters in the Mercenary Guild, and the number of Dou Zong masters in Fenglei Pavilion itself is also about 20, which is not much different from the Mercenary Guild.

If some Dou Zong masters from affiliated forces who can be transferred to help are added, the number of Dou Zong masters gathered in Fenglei Pavilion will exceed that of the Mercenary Guild. In addition, the cultivation of the three branch pavilion masters has reached the high-level Dou Zong, and one person can fight several ordinary Dou Zong masters alone. In this way, when Fenglei Pavilion goes to war with the Mercenary Guild in the future, the Dou Zong level masters should crush the Mercenary Guild.

The Dou Zun strongman rumored by the mercenary guild is what Lei Zun really cares about. For this reason, Lei Zun left Leishan that day.

His purpose of going out this time is to go to Huangquan Pavilion, one of the four square pavilions that are as famous as Fenglei Pavilion.

Although Dou Zun strongmen are extremely strong, Lei Zun is also very cautious when fighting with strongmen who are also Dou Zun. The reason why he rushed to Huangquan Pavilion is to pull in a Dou Zun to help, to be safe.

Huangquan Pavilion, as one of the four square pavilions in Zhongzhou, its pavilion master, Huangquan Zun, has a cultivation level of two-star Dou Zun, and his combat power is the weakest among the helmsmen of the four square pavilions.

The reason why Lei Zun contacted Huangquan Zun instead of the more powerful Wanjian Pavilion Sword Zun and Xingyun Pavilion Feng Zun is because among the three, Lei Zun and Huangquan Zun have a good relationship. Lei Zun is not sure about asking the other two.

Huangquan Pavilion, this force has a very bad reputation. No matter the Pavilion Master Huangquan Venerable or his disciples, they are not good people. They will do anything to achieve their goals. There is almost no good end for offending them, unless they are much stronger than them.

…

More than half a month later, Lei Venerable, who left Leishan, finally came to the vicinity of Huangquan Pavilion.

At this moment, in front of Lei Venerable, there appeared an old man in a black robe. His face was pale, and there was a bit of gloom between his eyebrows. His pair of pupils, one black and one white, looked quite weird.

"Lei Venerable, I didn't expect that you would come to me one day to ask for help!" The gloomy old man in black robe laughed strangely.

Faced with the laughter of the black-robed old man, Venerable Lei did not care. He said in a serious tone: "Venerable Huangquan, I come here for no reason. I came here today to invite you to fight with me against someone. Afterwards, the reward will definitely satisfy you!"

"What is the strength of the other party?" Hearing what Venerable Lei said, Venerable Huangquan asked curiously.

"Just the same strength as you and me!" Venerable Lei waved his hand.

"The same strength as us, no wonder you old guy came to me for help!" Hearing what Venerable Lei said, Venerable Huangquan said in a strange tone.

After some discussions, Venerable Huangquan finally agreed to Venerable Lei and was willing to help him deal with the mercenary guild in the northwest continent. Moreover, he did not go alone. This time, he also brought ten strong men ranging from one-star Dou Zong to eight-star Dou Zong.

"Haha, with your help, this mercenary guild will definitely be defeated!" Seeing the ten people behind Venerable Huangquan, Venerable Lei was very satisfied. In his heart, even if he and Venerable Huangquan were no match for the supreme elder of the mercenary guild, he would not panic at all, because he still had the strongest trump card.
