NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1352: Zhou Yu's Plan
While everyone was excited, Xiao Qingyue poured cold water on the situation nearby.
"Zhou Yu, you're thinking too simply about this."
"Just sending people there to notify them, do you think they will comply?"
"Do you really think the forces in Hu City are all lambs?"
Xiao Qingyue looked at Zhou Yu irritably.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yinfly and others could no longer laugh.
Although Zhou Yu's words were exhilarating, it seemed Xiao Qingyue wasn't wrong either. The Han Family and Zhu Family were all used to being arrogant; would they care?
"I estimate they won't just ignore you, they might even make things ugly for you. What will you do then?"
"Isn't this shooting yourself in the foot?"
Xiao Qingyue snorted coldly.
However, Zhou Yu merely smiled faintly.
"It doesn't matter."
"Just need to convey the message properly."
"They can choose not to come, but they'll bear the consequences."
This time, during the Pill God Temple trip, Zhou Yu's strength had greatly increased. The top fighters of the Han Family and other families had all died at his hands, leaving the remaining ones whom he naturally didn't care about.
Moreover, there was the Venerable Hong holding the fort.
Hence, Zhou Yu's task was merely to inform, not care whether they would come or not.
This is called offering the courtesy before using force.
Xiao Qingyue, who had been unconscious before, didn't know Zhou Yu returned with a King Realm expert this time.
Seeing Zhou Yu had no intention to change his mind, Xiao Qingyue got so angry she rolled her eyes, wanting to argue Zhou Yu's overconfidence, but considering the high-ranking members at the Martial Pavilion were all present, she chose to give Zhou Yu some face and said nothing further.
With Xiao Qingyue silent, Lin Yinfly and others naturally didn't say much either.
Following, Zhou Yu continued.
"Then, there's a second matter."
"Arrange people to prepare over the next two days, I'm planning to hold a banquet in three days."
"For this banquet, invite the leaders of all second-rate and above forces in Hu City, and ensure they attend."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yinfly and others were once again shocked.
This was not a minor move.
"Minister, what are you planning?" Jia Guang quickly asked.
Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
"Naturally, it's to restore the prestige of our Hu City Martial Pavilion."
"This can be explicitly communicated to them."
"Let them know that the purpose of this banquet is to redefine some rules. If any force is unwilling to submit to our Hu City Martial Pavilion, they can challenge us at the banquet."
"As long as they can defeat me, they can consider my words to be nonsense."
"However, if they lose, they must obediently submit."
"After this banquet, anyone who dares to obey publicly and violate privately, will be rooted out by the Martial Pavilion."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lin Yinfly and others were stunned.
They hadn't expected Zhou Yu to be so bold.
Going against the Han Family was one thing; after all, the Martial Pavilion's conflict with them had reached an irreconcilable stage.
But this banquet was different.
It involved all sizable forces in Hu City.
This was truly shaking the whole entity by pulling a thread.
Without a deterrent force that could overwhelm them, this move would plunge the Martial Pavilion into a place of no return.
For a moment, the faces of the three looked gloomy.
The three exchanged glances, then Lin Yinfly summoned the courage and said:
"Minister, isn't this... too aggressive?"
"This might stir up public fury."
Zhou Yu sneered.
"Public fury?"
"Our Martial Pavilion may be weak, but do regular forces dare to oppose the Martial Pavilion openly?"
Lin Yinfly immediately said:
"Certainly not."
"But the forces behind them do."
"Who are the forces behind them?" Zhou Yu asked again.
"Of course, it's the Han Family..."
Lin Yinfly blurted out.
But halfway through, he froze.
Immediately, he understood Zhou Yu's implication.
"Minister, your move is still targeting the top forces like the Han Family?"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
"Correct."
"There's a saying."
"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
"This time, we will do the reverse, killing the monkey to warn the chicken."
"This time, I intend to thoroughly reshape the chaotic structure of Hu City."
The last sentence from Zhou Yu carried a domineering aura.
This left Lin Yinfly and the other two inexplicably stirred with emotions.
The three exchanged glances, each seeing the fighting spirit in the eyes of the other.
"Alright, Minister, we'll do as you say."
The three immediately set off to complete their tasks.
After everyone left, Xiao Qingyue could no longer hold back.
"Zhou Yu, what exactly are you planning?"
"Summoning so many forces, what are you going to use to intimidate them?"
"Though Hu City Martial Pavilion has improved recently, it's still far from being able to intimidate the entire Hu City, right?"
"Have you gone mad?"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said:
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"You..."
Xiao Qingyue was about to retort, but right at that moment, a powerful voice echoed in the hall.
"Looks like you, kid, gained quite a bit from the Pill God Temple this time."
"Your cultivation reached King Realm so quickly."
Accompanied by this voice, a figure appeared in the hall.
Upon seeing the person clearly, Xiao Qingyue immediately rushed over.
"Grandfather, are you alright?"
The person was Xiao Ce.
At this moment, Zhou Yu also quickly stepped forward. But when he was close to Xiao Ce, he sensed Xiao Ce's aura was in complete disarray, clearly indicating he had just fought a fierce battle.
Xiao Ce looked dotingly at Xiao Qingyue.
"Don't worry, grandfather is fine."
Zhou Yu quickly asked:
"Xiao Lao, I heard that there were Domain Envoy-level experts from the Dark Domain entering Hu City this afternoon?"
Xiao Ce looked at Zhou Yu and nodded.
"Correct."
"And more than one came."
"Kid, I just want to ask you, what did you do to the Dark Domain?"
"Why have they turned into mad dogs?"
