Goodbye. "
Yu Shangrong turned to look at the disciples on the sword altar.
He gave them a symbolic nod and a faint smile. His figure flickered, and in the next second, he appeared in midair dozens of feet away.
In the blink of an eye, he left the barrier of the sword altar and disappeared.
The pressure on Luo Shisan lessened abruptly, and he quickly landed.
When he landed, he staggered a step back.
"Master!"
Two disciples hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Luo Shisan calmed himself down and said, "Inform the elders that I've changed my mind … Ding Fanqiu is a core disciple of the Yun Sect. The sable magnolia is merely a worldly possession. His life is at stake. I agree to the trade."
"Yes."
In a pavilion on a mountain a few miles away from the sword altar.
Si Wuya looked in the direction of the sword altar and said with a smile, "I'm surprised that Second Senior Brother made an exception for Little Junior Sister."
Yu Shangrong leaned on one of the gazebo's pillars and said,
"Little Junior Sister is extremely talented. It would be a pity if she couldn't break through her Sea of Qi … The rules are set by man, and man can conquer nature."
"I've received news that the Yun Sect has refused to trade the sable magnolia with the Evil Sky Pavilion … Second Senior Brother, you're adding fuel to the fire.
Si Wuya spoke frankly with assurance, "First, the Yun Sect is driven to desperation. They're flustered and exasperated, and a conflict with the Evil Sky Pavilion is about to break out at any moment. Second, the Yun Sect will obediently give in and exchange the sable magnolia. Second Senior Brother … Aren't you worried that the Yun Sect will choose the first path? "
Yu Shangrong said with a smile, "Old Seventh, you're smart … You should understand the fundamental principles of this world."
"Would you like to hear the details?"
Yu Shangrong shook his head and said, "If you're not satisfied … Beat him up. However, I've never liked violence."
When Si Wuya heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "A few words from you, Second Senior Brother, are worth ten years of studying."
Yu Shangrong said.
"Help me keep an eye on the Yun Sect …"
"Second Senior Brother, don't worry."
"Thank you."
"Senior Brother, you're too polite."
Si Wuya bowed and cupped his fists. When he looked up again, he could only hear Yu Shangrong's voice echoing in his ears. Yu Shangrong was nowhere to be seen.
He revealed a smile and said, "I hope Little Junior Sister is really as innocent as the two Senior Martial Brothers say, so that she won't disappoint the two Senior Martial Brothers' painstaking efforts."
The next day. In the great hall of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
His disciples stood to his left and right.
Lu Zhou was thinking about how he should negotiate with the Yun Sect to obtain the sable magnolia.
There were a total of seven altars in the sable magnolia, and there were as many experts as trees in a forest.
The current Evil Sky Pavilion was different from the past. If they had their first and second disciples, they would be invincible in Great Yan. No one would be able to stop them.
Right now, Hua Wudao was the strongest …
Meanwhile, Fan Xiuwen was still recovering from his injuries.
Ye Tianxin was reconstructing her dantian's sea of Qi as well. She was still an Evil Sky Pavilion disciple. Zhao Yue had only recovered half of her cultivation base, and she had yet to break through to the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.
Thus, if he wanted to enter the Cloud Sect, he could not use such a violent method.
Steal?
This unrealistic thought had just appeared in Lu Zhou's mind when a voice rang from outside.
"Elder Hua is here."
Outside the hall, Hua Wudao was in high spirits. Even the way he walked was much livelier than before.
He walked into the great hall, cupped his fists at Lu Zhou, and said, "Pavilion Master, the Yun Sect has sent a letter … agreeing to trade the sable magnolia for Ding Fanqiu. They've sent a special envoy to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart. His wizened face remained calm as he said, "You've changed your mind?"
"Uh …"
Hua Wudao did not know why the Yun Sect would suddenly change their mind. Moreover, he was from the Yun Sect. He knew it was difficult for the Yun Sect's seven altars to come to an agreement. It was only natural for the Yun Sect to reject the Evil Sky Pavilion's demand for the sable magnolia. It was slightly surprising for them to suddenly agree to the trade.
However, none of this mattered.
Since the Yun Sect had agreed to the trade, it was for the best.
"Pavilion Master, since the Yun Sect is willing to trade, why don't we use this opportunity to mend our relationship … Although the Evil Sky Pavilion is powerful, it has too many enemies. From now on, Pavilion Master … "Hua Wudao paused. He wanted to mention the great limit of ten years, but he felt that it would be inappropriate. He turned around and said," After all, it's better to have a friend than an enemy. "
Lu Zhou glanced at him and said calmly, "Elder Hua, it's good that you have such intentions … However, the Evil Sky Pavilion doesn't need friends like that."
"In the future …"
"We'll talk about the future in the future." Lu Zhou's voice was filled with confidence. "I have all the time in the world."
Hua Wudao did not dare to say anything else.
He could sense that perhaps because he had only joined the Evil Sky Pavilion recently, many of his actions did not fit in with the Evil Sky Pavilion.
However, this matter could not be rushed, so he had to take it slow.
At the very least, he could accept the Evil Sky Pavilion's way of doing things up until now.
"Pavilion Master, even if the Cloud Sect is willing to trade the sable magnolia, we only have one. It's not enough to open up the sea of energy, "Hua Wudao said.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Do you know how many sable magnolia there are?"
Hua Wudao said,
"As far as I know, there are five of them. Except for the Yun Sect. The second shard is with the Duanlin Branch in Great Yan's southwest. The third shard is in Rongbei. The fourth shard is in the Heaven Choice Temple. I don't know where the fifth shard is … "
Hua Wudao's story was similar to what Lu Zhou knew.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "In your opinion, who should I get the second piece from?"
"The Duanlin Branch is far away in the southwest … Rongbei is beyond Great Yan. So … the Heaven Choice Temple is the only one left." "The Heaven Choice Temple and the Temple of Great Emptiness are on good terms. They're both Buddhist sects … The Buddhist sects have never cared about the conflicts between the Righteous and Fiend Paths. If we negotiate properly, we'll be able to take them down."
What he said made sense.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin who had been silent for a long time said, "Master, I have a plan."
"What is it?"
"Old Eighth has always been on good terms with the Heaven Choice Temple … We can send him to negotiate," Mingshi Yin said.
"On good terms?"
"Throughout the years since Old Eighth left the Evil Sky Pavilion, he's spent a lot of effort on the Heaven Choice Temple in search of a way to save his life. The zen tunic he's wearing is from the Heaven Choice Temple, "Mingshi Yin said.
"Bring him here," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes, master."
Mingshi Yin ran out of the room eagerly.
Shortly after, Mingshi Yin brought the baffled Zhu Honggong back to the great hall.
After a few months, he had lost a lot of weight.
Zhu Honggong was slightly nervous when he returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall. He was a newbie.
He kept glancing around.
"Greetings, master! May you live a long life, master! "Zhu Honggong fell to his knees as soon as he arrived in the great hall. He was extremely sincere.
Mingshi Yin frowned.
'This pig's existence has truly overshadowed my glory in this place!'
Lu Zhou said, "Old Eighth … I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself since you've been bewitched."
Zhu Honggong was overjoyed when he heard this.
He said, "I'm willing to redeem myself. I'll climb a mountain of swords and plunge into a sea of flames. I won't even frown if I have to risk my life!"
"Very good."
Lu Zhou said, "In that case, you'll head to the Heaven Choice Temple and bring the sable magnolia back."
Zhu Honggong. "???"
'Heaven Choice Temple?'
He was momentarily stunned.
Zhu Honggong wore a bitter expression. He did not dare to object.
When Lu Zhou saw his reluctance, he asked, "You're not willing?"
"No, no, no … I'm willing! I'll surely bring the sable magnolia back! "Zhu Honggong said with a sad expression on his face.
Mingshi Yin smiled and said, "Let's depart, then. With your relationship with them, it shouldn't be a problem. Trust me, I won't harm you. Go. Remember, you're only going to negotiate with them. Write me a letter at any time … "
"I'll depart now."
Zhu Honggong nodded and bowed before he retreated out of the great hall.
Lu Zhou watched Zhu Honggong leave. Then, he asked, "When will the Yun Sect's special envoy arrive?"
"Another six hours."
