Chapter 78: The Grand Opening.
The Mystic City was bustling with activities. On the street, people were talking about Jun Wu’s pavilion being open.
Since yesterday, the news of the invitation had spread throughout the city. Even those outside the city knew of his actions.
Students from the Mystic Path Academy came out in groups to watch the famous once-in-a-generation talent.
In taverns and restaurants, everyone was discussing Jun Wu’s actions.
"I think this is wrong. Why would he want to create a pavilion? With the Array Association and the Yuan clan, there is no way they will let him succeed." A man said in a loud voice.
"You’re right. This shows he is nothing but a kid with talent. He’s naive."
"I saw many people going there now. I believe all of them are hoping for a good show."
"Hahaha. What do you expect? I bet they will turn the opening ceremony into a disaster."
Various laughter of ridicule echoed in the tavern. They were a group of mercenaries that hunted ordinary beasts and Ruin Beasts.
To them, Jun Wu’s actions were nothing but childish.
"Quick, eat up. We can’t miss the show." Their leader said, drinking all his alcohol in one gulp.
In every corner of the city, this was thought of by most people. Creating a pavilion to compete with the Array Formation Association and the Yuan clan was nothing but a death sentence.
In front of the Blazing Sun pavilion, a crowd had already gathered. Everyone was waiting for the show to start.
"Ah! Look, is that the elder that was dismissed from the Array Association?" A voice said, pointing to Elder Kai.
"Indeed, that’s him. Things are even getting more interesting."
Elder Kai could feel all the people’s gazes on his body but the smirk on his lips did not fade. He swaggered with the Xie clan to take a spot.
’Today, I’ll show everyone that Jun Wu is nothing.’ He thought.
Standing a couple of feet behind him was his disciple– Ma Long.
He had lost his previous pride and haughtiness. Still, his expression was far from good.
It was dark, sinister as he was ready to devour his enemies.
Since the competition, he had turned into a joke of the city. All his friends had stopped associating with him, even those that used to flatter him to gain his favor only looked at him with disdain.
To crown it all, his master treated him like trash. He had stopped caring for him and he stopped teaching him.
Many times, he wanted to leave but he did not have the confidence to face his family.
Thus, he could only hang on to his master’s side.
And today, he couldn’t wait to see the architect of his downfall turn into a joke.
"Look, the Yuan clan has arrived." A voice said, pointing to the Yuan clan’s carriage.
From the carriage, the Yuan clan master stepped down followed by their clan prodigy, Yuan Lan.
Her beauty alone captivated everyone.
Compared to Ma Long, her fame had not reduced in the slightest.
One after the other, powerful clans arrived, each taking a spot in front of the Blazing Sun building.
Slowly, presidents from both the three main halls arrived one after another.
Everyone was stunned when they saw them. The arrival of the Array Formation president did not raise any air but the Alchemy and Blacksmith made everyone curious.
Shortly, the city lord arrived in his luxurious carriage. Quickly, many of the top clans went to greet him.
After a short greeting, everyone returned to their spot. A few minutes later, a new group arrived.
"Huh! Is that the insignia of the Jun aristocrat clan?" A voice asked in confusion.
How could they miss the insignia of the Jun aristocrat clan? The crowd was stunned, fixing their gaze on the newly arrived carriages.
One after the other, the Jun clan younger generation stepped out with an air of pride.
Subconsciously, a space was made for them. Their grand entrance was even more imposing than the city lord’s.
Jun Zhenya led her clansmen with a cold expression to the provided space.
Behind her, Jun Jiahao had a sneer playing on his lips.
Today, they would break all Jun Wu’s growing wings and turn him into the trash he was.
With the Jun clan’s arrival, the chatter among the crowd reduced. Among the crowd, a middle-aged man glared daggers at the Jun clan’s younger generation, clenching his fist.
He was an elder in charge of the Gong store in Mystic City.
"You just wait..." He whispered.
Just then, a new carriage arrived with the insignia of the Mystic Path Academy.
All eyes locked on the carriage, waiting to see who was inside.
Creak!
The door was pushed and a middle-aged man stepped out.
What!
The Vice Dean!
Everyone widened their eyes.
How was this possible?
How could Jun Wu invite such a person? This was a man standing over millions with few above him.
He was a Master Realm Martial Artist.
Quickly, everyone rushed to pay their respects. No one dared to slight his presence.
The Vice Dean greeted everyone with an amicable smile. Looking at their Vice Dean, students from the Mystic Path Academy were full of respect and pride.
Among the students, a girl stared at the Blazing Sun building with eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
Others might not know how monstrous Jun Wu was, but how could she not know?
She was Jiang Yawen.
Today, she had come to see Jun Wu creating another miracle.
With the arrival of the Vice Dean, everyone knew the grand ceremony was about to begin.
Creak!
The door of the Blazing Sun was pushed open and a silhouette came out.
He was dressed in a plain silk white robe. A gold jade pin held his raven-black hair in a knot and it swirled gracefully with his steps.
His chiseled face was breathtaking and inviting with his dark blue eyes drawing everyone’s soul.
Most importantly, the overwhelming noble aura radiating from his body overcame everyone’s aura.
It was like everything paled compared to his existence.
Ethereal and commanding.
"Hello everyone, thank you for coming to the opening of my pavilion." Jun Wu’s voice echoed in their ears.
