When the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion heard that the Azure Emperor's men were coming, they understood what was going on.
Yan Zhenluo said from the side, "This is very simple."
"Simple?" Zhang He asked doubtfully.
"Just admit defeat."
"…"
Zhang He had an unresigned expression as he said, "Although I, Zhang He, am not as skilled as others, I am not so cowardly. This concerns the Xuan Pin Palace's reputation, so we can't just admit defeat. "
"I am doing this for your own good. Those two are clearly experts," Yan Zhenluo said.
Zhang He asked curiously, "You have seen them before?"
Yan Zhenluo shook his head instinctively and said, "No."
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion shook their heads as well.
He pretended not to know anything.
"Then how do you know they are experts?" Zhang He asked curiously.
"Isn't that obvious?" Yan Zhenluo said. "Anyone who possesses the Great Void Seed is not an ordinary person. Our ten years of cultivation can't compare to his one day of cultivation. How can we compare? Moreover, someone who could catch the eye of the Azure Thearch was not a good-for-nothing. Someone like the Azure Thearch had far more experience, battle experience, and knowledge of the cultivation world than us. If he didn't have the confidence, he wouldn't have sent someone to specifically slap his face, right? "
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion nodded when they heard this.
His logic was perfect and flawless.
Everyone gave him a thumbs-up.
Zhang He felt that it was reasonable and said, "That is why I came to beg Pavilion Master Lu."
Lu Zhou said.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."
"Ah?"
"This involves the battle for the Hall Leader position and the rules of the Great Void. If this old man interferes, wouldn't I be breaking the rules? You've already been defeated on Nan Li Mountain. Even if I've helped Xuan Ke regain his reputation, do you still expect me to do anything in the future? "Lu Zhou asked.
"…"
"A man should take responsibility for his actions. Do you care about the position of Temple Master? "Lu Zhou asked in a deep voice.
"That's not it."
Zhang He said, "On the contrary, over the past few years, the pressure of holding the position of Palace Head has increased. If there is someone who is willing and has the ability, I, Zhang He, am willing to give up my position. "
"Then show your attitude and have a good spar with these two. Even if we lose, it's not embarrassing, "Lu Zhou said.
His words woke the dreamer up.
Zhang He understood.
If he really used underhanded means, even if he won, it would not be honorable. In the future, in front of the Sacred Hall and the Ten Great Void Palaces, he might even become a black mark that could not be erased.
It was a fair and square battle. If he lost, so be it.
"I've learned a lot."
Zhang He reined in his thoughts and suddenly realized that he had walked further and further down the wrong path. He immediately bowed at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Zhang He turned and left.
Lu Li said with interest, "This person seems to have changed into another person. I thought he was a snob. "
"How many of those who can survive in the Great Void are simple people?"
"But … is it really appropriate for the Pavilion Master to ask for a beating?"
"What do you know? The Pavilion Master wants to take this opportunity to see Mister First and Mister Second's strength. What if … you don't make any progress in the next hundred years? "
"…"
Lu Zhou glanced at the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Everyone shut their mouths.
"No one is allowed to reveal their identities," Lu Zhou said before he left with his hands on his back.
"Farewell, Pavilion Master."
…
The next day.
At this moment, a green flying chariot appeared southeast of Xuan Ke.
The flying chariot flew through the air like a boat.
Shortly after, it arrived in the air above Xuan Ke.
Xuan Ke's envoy was already waiting for them.
"Welcome, Your Majesty, the Azure Emperor."
On the flying chariot.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stood side by side as they admired the beautiful scenery of Xuan Ke. Both of them were known to be obsessed with cultivation. They were not interested in the scenery.
At this moment, a voice rang from within the flying chariot. "Lead the way."
"Please come with me. The Emperor is waiting for you in Xuan Ke's great hall."
Under the lead of the cultivator, the flying chariot slowly flew to the back of Xuan Ke's great hall.
The Azure Emperor, dressed in green brocade robes, walked out.
Imperial Lord Xuan Ke projected his voice and said, "Ling Weiyang, did the Holy Temple agree to you coming all the way here?"
The Azure Emperor replied, "He has to agree even if he doesn't agree. Otherwise, why would I come here?"
With a flash of movement, the Azure Emperor appeared in front of the great hall.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong followed behind him.
One of them carried a sword while the other carried a saber at his waist.
Emperor Xuan Pin smiled and said, "These two are the possessors of the Great Void Seed?"
Azure Thearch Ling Wei nodded and said, "Who do you think will be the new Hall Master of the Xuan Pin Palace?"
Monarch Xuan Pin glanced at the two and smiled. "You have to ask Zhang He."
The Azure Thearch slowly sat down, and two chairs flew out from the hall behind him. One quickly landed behind him, and the other landed behind the Azure Thearch.
Zhang He flew over from a distance and said, "Zhang He greets the Azure Emperor."
The Azure Emperor looked at Zhang He and said, "You are Zhang He?"
"Exactly."
"Very good," said the Lotus Thearch. "You can choose any one of them."
The Azure Supreme Thearch was not the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush. He liked to get straight to the point.
Zhang He did not like to waste time. He looked at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.
The auras of the two were extraordinary, completely different from the two he had seen at Nanli Mountain.
Zhang He pointed at Yu Zhenghai and said, "Him."
To his surprise, Yu Shangrong nodded and said, "Not bad. You have a good eye. It's indeed a good choice to start with the easy part and then the difficult part. "
Yu Zhenghai frowned.
He said, "I'll make him understand that this isn't about starting with the easy part and then the difficult part. It's an extremely foolish choice."
“???”
Yu Zhenghai transformed into a meteor and entered the huge field in front of the Dark Pin Hall.
Zhang He hurried over to meet him.
At this moment, Lu Zhou appeared in the side hall of the Dark Pin Hall. He looked down at the field.
Li Chun stood on the left with a smile on her face as she said, "With Brother Lu advising Zhang He, I'm sure he'll win."
"We don't know who'll win yet," Lu Zhou said.
He wanted to see how fast Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's cultivation bases had improved.
Swoosh!
The Jasper Saber at Yu Zhenghai's waist flew into the air. The Great Dark Heaven Palm immediately unleashed the Dark Heaven Starlight. It spun as it swept toward Zhang He.
The space was torn apart.
A transparent barrier formed in the air above the Xuan Pin Grand Hall to prevent their power from destroying the building.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Zhang He's palm was like a blade as he slashed at the Dark Heaven Starlight to stop the tear in space.
This was Yu Zhenghai's signature technique, the Great Dark Heaven Palm.
"Sovereign's Descent!"
Yu Zhenghai's first move was his most powerful technique. There was no room for maneuver.
Energy sabers rained down from the skies like ferocious beasts.
Zhang He did his best to resist, using almost all of what he had learned in his entire life. All of the energy of the Dao was unleashed at once.
"So powerful!"
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The powerful pressure made it hard for him to breathe. Soon after, his face turned red.
He suddenly realized that he might have made the wrong choice.
Why was this person so ferocious and domineering? He was even more domineering than the person who used the spear.
The domineering energy sabers slashed at Zhang He in a frenzy. Every energy saber was imbued with the power of the law.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin's expression was grim as he said, "This person can shake the Dark Pin Formation?"
For safety's sake, Imperial Lord Xuan Pin pressed his palm down. A surge of power swiftly replenished the Dark Pin Formation to protect the surrounding buildings.
The Lotus Emperor smiled and said, "Are you that afraid?"
"I've underestimated him," Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said.
"That's more like it," the Lotus Emperor said with a chuckle, "I've spent a lot of effort on them over the years. I've only used thirty percent of my strength. "
"Thirty percent?!"
Zhang He's heart tightened.
This tightness exposed an opening. His blood essence loosened. Bam!
Several energy sabers sent him flying. He almost spat out blood.
Zhang He flipped in the air and barely managed to stabilize himself.
Yu Zhenghai smiled and said, "Continue!"
Bam!
He walked in the air, wielding his saber with both hands. Like a raging bull, he kept slashing at the energy sabers.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Zhang He had no choice but to resist.
The series of energy sabers pressed down on him, making him feel uncomfortable. He kept retreating.
The floorboards in front of the Dark Pin Great Hall sizzled, looking like they would crack at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Imperial Lord Xuan Pin struck again.
He strengthened the Formation.
Yu Zhenghai shouted, "Water Dragon's Roar!"
Numerous energy sabers appeared in the air, forming a Saber Formation. They contained powerful Daos as they attacked Zhang He. Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Zhang He could no longer resist. Yu Zhenghai's Dao power seemed to be stronger than his.
It was difficult to balance the strength of the rules with techniques. The instant Zhang He blocked the attack with his palms, he reeled back.
Although Yu Zhenghai's technique was domineering, it was ingenious. He retracted his energy sabers at the right moment.
When Zhang He was about to hit the ground, he flipped in the air and landed on the ground. He stood up straight.
Even if he lost, he could not lose face to Xuan Pin.
This was his belief.
He stood there. His arms and legs were completely numb.
…
Above the side hall.
Li Chun exclaimed in shock, "This person is domineering."
"It's not easy for Zhang He to withstand so many attacks." After observing, Lu Zhou had a basic understanding of Yu Zhenghai's strength.
If Yu Zhenghai did not have any trump cards up his sleeves, his strength should be close to that of a Great Dao Saint.
After 100 years, Yu Zhenghai had grown so much.
Li Chun said awkwardly, "The newcomers this year … are all so monstrous. It'll be difficult for us in the future … "
The Lotus Emperor laughed heartily. He said with satisfaction, "Not bad."
Yu Zhenghai cupped his fists at Zhang He and said, "Thank you for letting me win."
He retreated to the side as though it was natural.
At this moment, Yu Shangrong said, "Let's skip this match."
"Why?" Zhang He did not understand.
"You're not a match for me. If you force yourself to fight, you'll only be humiliating yourself. A wise man knows when to back off, "Yu Shangrong said.
"…"
Was he trying to persuade Yu Zhenghai? Why did it sound more like an insult?
Zhang He said loudly,
"A man shouldn't care about temporary success or failure. Even if I know I'll lose, I won't back down. "
"Do you really want to fight?" Yu Shangrong asked.
"If I don't try, how will I know where I'm lacking?" Zhang He's eyes burned.
Yu Shangrong nodded calmly and said, "I admire your courage. I hope you're satisfied with my sword."
He added, "You need time to recover.
"You need time to recover. I can wait for you."
After saying this …
Yu Shangrong pushed away from the ground with the tips of his feet. His body was as light as a swallow.
In the next second, he appeared in front of Zhang He.
He held his Longevity Sword calmly. Upon closer inspection, one would see that his feet were not touching the ground.
This extreme and precise control of the sword was awe-inspiring.
Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Another boring, pointless trick."
"Still, it's much more practical than those flashy, all-encompassing moves," Yu Shangrong said without turning his head.
"You're all talk and no action."
"When we get back, we'll continue our fight."
"Let's fight then."
The Lotus Emperor. "…"
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin laughed and said, "Ling Weiyang, are you here to fight for the title of Hall Master or to cause internal strife?"
The Lotus Emperor Ling Weiyang said, "You might not know this, Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin, but that's their nature. A healthy competition will help them grow. "
"A healthy competition?" Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin remained skeptical. "In your opinion, if the two of them were to fight, who would have the upper hand?"
"Don't try to drive a wedge between them."
The Lotus Emperor Ling Weiyang added, "When I roamed the Great Void, you were still a naked child."
"You're gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure," Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin said helplessly.
The Lotus Emperor Ling Weiyang thought about it for a moment before he continued to say, "If I were to judge … Yu Zhenghai is an elite of the saber while Yu Shangrong is an elite of the sword. Their understanding of the saber and the sword has long reached the peak. The only thing they lack is their understanding of the Great Dao and the tempering of their mental states. "
"Aren't you afraid that you'll bite your tongue?" Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin asked with a smile.
"In terms of saber and sword skills, nobody can compare to them," the Lotus Emperor Ling Weiyang said. "That's what I said."
