The next morning.
In the great hall of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the others.
Pan Zhong was not present because he was injured. Pan Litian consumed the sable magnolia a few days ago and had been recuperating.
Although Leng Luo had some cultivation base, he did not have much strength left during his trip to Slender West Lake.
Lu Zhou did not place much hope on the three of them.
"Master … Jiang Aijian sent me a letter early in the morning. It's similar to what Seventh Junior Brother said, but there's something different."
Zhao Yue handed over the letter in her hand and continued, "It's not that the Heavenly Sword Sect doesn't have any helpers … it's just that these helpers don't belong to the ten great sects, and their whereabouts are hidden, making it impossible to investigate."
Lu Zhou nodded.
In this aspect, Jiang Aijian's information was clearly more accurate than Si Wuya's.
Lu Zhou remained silent.
He walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Hua Wudao, Duanmu Sheng, Mingshi Yin, Zhao Yue, Little Yuan 'er, Zhou Jifeng, Hua Yuexing, and the ten female disciples followed closely behind him.
It did not take long before they arrived at the cloud-splitting chariot.
Mingshi Yin asked, "Senior brother … I heard from Little Junior Sister that your steering skills have improved greatly?"
"It's nothing compared to you, junior brother …" Duanmu Sheng hastily waved his hands.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? Manning the helm is very beneficial to one's cultivation … Senior Brother, there's another benefit to manning the helm …" Mingshi Yin pretended to speak in secret.
"Hmm?"
Duanmu Sheng whispered into his ear.
Mingshi Yin said in a low voice, "It can cultivate one's character … It's especially good for tempering one's mind. “
"Are you saying I have a bad temper?"
"No, no." Mingshi Yin hastily waved his hands.
When Duanmu Sheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Old Fourth, what do you think of my Overlord Spear?"
"It's majestic and unique! It's a supreme-grade treasure! "Mingshi Yin praised.
Duanmu Sheng sighed, shook his head, and said, "I know you're upset that you've taken a broken Deer. Steer the ship well and train your mind. As long as it's a Heaven Rank weapon, it doesn't matter if it's awe-inspiring or not. "
"Eh …"
"Go." Duanmu Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said in a heartfelt tone.
I … I didn't say that I liked cool weapons.
Mingshi Yin hopped onto the helm helplessly.
Duanmu Sheng turned to look at Little Junior Sister. He thought to himself, 'I should let Little Junior Sister take the helm so she can temper her temperament. I can't let her fling the red cloth around every day.'
After everyone was in position.
Duanmu Sheng leaped onto the Overlord Spear and stood next to Lu Zhou. He lifted his robe and blew on the Overlord Spear's dragon tattoo. Then, he rubbed it back and forth until it was shiny.
Mingshi Yin was at the helm.
The flying chariot was unusually smooth.
Hua Wudao stood on Lu Zhou's other side. He looked down at the Evil Sky Pavilion with his hands on his back.
Golden Court Mountain's barrier was in full view.
Hua Wudao said, "I'd like to ask, Pavilion Master. When you cultivated in the secret chamber and absorbed the barrier's power, was it to maintain your peak state?"
Lu Zhou glanced at him and said, "You think so as well?"
"I don't dare."
"I'll repair the barrier myself," Lu Zhou said.
It was rumored in the outside world that the barrier's power was weakening, which was equivalent to saying that his strength was declining.
However, there was no good way to repair the barrier right now.
It would take at least three years for his disciples to repair it at the same time.
The Eight-leaf disciples, Leng Luo and Pan Litian, were now old and weak. They could not be counted on.
The fastest way to repair the barrier was to use the Peak Trial Card again. However, Lu Zhou would not use it so easily.
Hua Wudao said again, "The Lotus Dais is a place for the Noble Path to spar … I'm just worried that Luo Xingkong is trying to provoke us and set up an ambush."
"Your worries aren't unfounded," Lu Zhou said with a nod.
"There's no need to worry, Elder Hua … All schemes and schemes are useless against master."
"Naturally, I believe in your abilities, Pavilion Master."
At this moment …
Hua Yuexing walked over.
Perhaps, she had just joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, she seemed slightly reserved.
Hua Yuexing bowed and said, "I have something to report."
"What is it?"
"When I was waiting for the Heavenly Sword Sect's elder, Ye Chengzhi, on a tower near the Heavenly Sword Sect, I seemed to have seen someone who seemed familiar …" Hua Yuexing's words sounded weak.
"Who was it?"
"Fourth Prince, Liu Bing." Hua Yuexing immediately knelt down and cupped her fists. "When I was with Lady Jade, I accidentally saw the Fourth Prince's portrait. However, I didn't dare to believe it, so … so I didn't report it in time. Please forgive me, Pavilion Master!"
The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, guarded the borders all year round.
Because he had meritorious military service, the forces in the palace did not dare to do anything to him. Even if he wanted to return, he would have to hand over his military power.
The question was, why would Liu Bing come back at this time?
Lu Zhou looked at Hua Yuexing. When he recalled Jiang Aijian's identity, he asked, "You've met Jiang Aijian before?"
"Skylark Tower is my first time meeting him," Hua Yuexing said nervously.
"Stand up and talk."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Hua Yuexing stood up respectfully.
"Did you send a message to Jiang Aijian?" Lu Zhou suddenly asked when she let her guard down.
Putong —
Hua Yuexing immediately knelt down.
His forehead touched the board.
"Hua Yuexing wouldn't dare!"
Hua Wudao immediately cupped his fists. "Hua Yuexing is from the Luo Sect. Her upbringing is strict. She would never do such a thing. "
Mingshi Yin turned around and said, "Strict upbringing? Why did she leave the Luo Sect, then? "
"Uh …"
Mingshi Yin said, "You can't tell me, can you? I was wondering why Jiang Aijian seemed to know everything. He must've followed Old Seventh's footsteps. "
Lu Zhou looked at Hua Yuexing.
After the series of questions, Hua Yuexing's loyalty did not drop.
Clearly, she was not lying.
"Stand up and talk," Lu Zhou said.
"Understood."
"You're talented. Have you been to the west pavilion?"
"I … I haven't had the time," Hua Yuexing replied.
"There's a cultivation method in the west pavilion called the Quick Energy Condensation Method. It suits you," Lu Zhou said calmly.
Hua Wudao hastily waved his hand. "What are you waiting for? Thank the Pavilion Master."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Hua Yuexing fell to her knees again.
The others were speechless.
This was the result of living in the palace. They were used to kneeling at the drop of a hat.
Hua Wudao said, "The Luo Sect didn't teach you the Quick Energy Condensation Method. Archers were powerful because they were far away. However, their weakness was obvious as well. Once a cultivator gets close, there's usually no time to condense energy and fire. The Quick Energy Condensation Method can make up for this weakness. "
Hua Yuexing nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Elder Hua. I'll do my best."
Loyalty + 10%.
Sometimes, Lu Zhou felt that although Hua Yuexing had many rules, she was a simple person. She seemed to have some experience in the world, but she was not completely corrupted by it.
It was not worth a mention for him to give her a cultivation method. He was slightly surprised that her loyalty had increased by so much.
Meanwhile.
Inside the secluded hut.
Si Wuya opened his eyes.
He estimated the time and looked at the sunlight at the entrance of the secluded hut.
As expected, a gray-robed cultivator flew toward him from afar. He landed on his knees and said, "Sect Master, it's just as you expected. Someone has informed the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"Do you know where the information came from?"
"From the palace."
When Si Wuya heard this, he frowned. This was strange. His master had never been associated with the forces in the palace. How did this happen?
"Have the palace's spies investigate."
"Understood."
Si Wuya's frown eased. He smiled confidently and said, "It's only natural for master to trust this person. In that case, we'll beat him at his own game and cooperate with him. "
"… I'll look for Senior Sword Devil at once."
"No." Si Wuya shook his head. "Go to Pingdu Mountain."
"Yes, master."
