Helvius quickly left without stopping. Then, he immediately issued an order to set up a formation around the Elixir Pavilion.
During this period, no one was allowed to leave.
After that, he summoned many of the Elixir Pavilion’s powerful members.
The Elixir Pavilion was the most formidable sect in this world. Its core members were all accomplished cultivators, who were
either Great Emperors or Quasi-Emperors.
Tens of thousands of powerhouses were gathered in the main hall.
They were all core members of the Elixir Pavilion.
The weakest among them were Quasi-Emperors at the Fifth Tribulation.
“What’s the matter, Pavilion Master? Why did you activate the formation so suddenly? Also, why have you summoned all the
sect’s strongest out of the blue?”
Helvius immediately ordered. “Head to Mount Jakan immediately and detain everyone there.”
Everyone was shocked by this order.
Mount Jakan was the residence of the Elixir Pavilion’s strongest Officials.
During the meeting, Jules asked, “What’s the matter, Father? Why are you sending powerhouses to where my teacher is?”
Helvius’ expression darkened. He immediately said, “Execute the order!”
“Understood.” The elders immediately complied.
Thousands of powerhouses marched toward Mount Jakan.
Jadranka succeeded with her mission and was not confident she could take on the entire Elixir Pavilion despite being a Grand
Emperor at the Fifth Heaven. Thus, she quickly escaped and had already left Elixir City.
She floated in the sky outside of the city.
Seeing the Elixir Pavilion’s formation being activated, an eerie smile formed on her face.
“I successfully crippled Silvester. Even though it wasn’t enough to kill him, I definitely damaged his Path Seal.
“Moreover, Helvius was also hurt in the process.
“Now that both pillars of the Elixir Pavilion are injured, the rest of the members can’t pose a threat against us.”
Jadranka Yevdokiya murmured, then she disappeared into thin air.
Meanwhile, Helvius summoned all the powerful members to head over to Mount Jakan, but they only captured a few maids and
disciples working for Jadranka.
Jadranka herself was nowhere to be found.
Helvius ordered for those on her mountain to be temporarily detained.
In a secret meeting room of the Elixir Pavilion, several core members were gathered.
Elixir Pavilion’s Great Elder was concerned and asked, “What exactly happened, Pavilion Master?”
Helvius casually waved his hand, and a mark appeared on his palm.
It was golden in color and had a number of cracks. The mark seemed as if it would shatter with the slightest touch.
“This?”
The elders present stood up in shock.
The Elixir Pavilion’s Great Elder exclaimed, “What happened to your Path Seal, Pavilion Master? Why is it damaged?”
Helvius solemnly explained the incident.
“I never expected Jadranka to be a member of the Sanctuary of Darkness. She had infiltrated the Elixir Pavilion just for this day.
Now that the Old Master’s Path Seal is damaged and so is mine. Our ability to fight has been severely compromised.
“If the Sanctuary of Darkness were to appear now, how would we fight back?”
Helvius had a grim expression.
This was the biggest disaster that the Elixir Pavilion had encountered since a few Epochs ago.
After hearing this, the core elders’ expressions immediately darkened, and the meeting room fell dead silent. No one said
another word.
After a while, the Great Elder asked, “What should we do now, Pavilion Master?”
Helvius instructed them. “Use the conference as an excuse and summon all our disciples spread outside. At the same time,
direct all Officials to gather in the Elixir Pavilion. Say that the conference is happening soon, and we plan to hold a grand
festival.”
Since things have already come to this, they could only try to make the best out of it.
“Hmph!”
Helvius snorted coldly and said, “Do you guys really think you can destroy the Elixir Pavilion just by taking me and Old Master
out?”
