'Second Senior Brother's talent far surpasses mine … Don't tell me he's not as talented as Eldest Senior Brother?' Duanmu Sheng was shocked.
He had heard of the conflict between Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother.
But later on, there were often rumors of conflicts and friction between Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother.
Second Senior Brother had challenged so many masters and had never been defeated. His strength and cultivation should be on par with Eldest Senior Brother. Why couldn't there be a winner?
"Of course."
With his back facing Duanmu Sheng, he said, "I hope you won't follow in my senior brother's footsteps."
"…"
Duanmu Sheng was at a loss for words.
He felt that he was talented and hardworking, but … compared to Second Senior Brother, he was slightly inferior.
Even Second Senior Brother was no match for Eldest Senior Brother, so how could he defeat Eldest Senior Brother?
With that, he tiptoed and stepped into the air.
Hua Chongyang cupped his fists at Duanmu Sheng and hastily followed after them.
The other Nether Sect disciples flew away in unison.
Duanmu Sheng looked at Yu Zhenghai's retreating figure.
Are you sure you're not running away?
Yu Zhenghai did not fly quickly.
Along the way, Hua Chongyang followed closely behind.
Now that he was sure that his master didn't chase after him, that was the best news.
"Hierarch, the Heavenly Sword Sect is no longer a threat. What's our next step?" Hua Chongyang asked.
"You have to pick the soft persimmon," Yu Zhenghai said.
"…"
Yu Zhenghai stopped and placed his hands on his back. He looked at the scenery and felt slightly better. He asked, "How's Bai Yuqing's condition?"
"I'm afraid he won't be able to fight again within half a year," Hua Chongyang said.
Yu Zhenghai scoffed and said, "It's my fault for indulging Second Junior Brother too much …"
Hua Chongyang shook his head helplessly.
Although they were all experts, they were powerless in front of an elusive super expert like the Sword Devil.
In the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm, every additional leaf made a huge difference.
"Should I go look for Mister Seventh?" Hua Chongyang asked.
"No need."
Yu Zhenghai shook his head. "Second Junior Brother might still be by his side."
Hua Chongyang immediately lowered his head.
He did not want to end up like Bai Yuqing, who had to recuperate for half a year after being struck by a sword.
And this was under the condition that he was lucky. Sword Maniac Chen Wenjie didn't even have the chance to lie down and recuperate before he died.
"Send someone to investigate who created the Lotus Dais sacrificial formation … At the same time, try to contact Seventh Junior Brother."
"Yes, Sect Master. What if I meet Senior Sword Devil?"
"Avoid it."
The two of them didn't stay any longer and flew into the distance.
。
Half a day later. In the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The cloud-splitting chariot finally made it back to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The process was quite smooth.
Before they could get off the flying chariot, Pan Zhong ran over with a hand on his chest.
"Pavilion Master, Elder Hua … You're finally back!" Pan Zhong said as he knelt down on one knee.
When he saw Pan Zhong's anxious expression, Mingshi Yin leaped off the flying chariot and asked, "What's the hurry?"
"Thief … Thief … Thief …" Pan Zhong was so anxious that his face turned red.
"Thief?"
"The Evil Sky Pavilion has been robbed!" Pan Zhong said after catching his breath.
"Nonsense … Which scoundrel would dare to steal from the Evil Sky Pavilion?" Mingshi Yin said.
Pan Zhong said, "I … I'll have to ask Senior Leng Luo about this … Fortunately, Senior Leng Luo is here!"
There was no one under the heavens who did not want the Evil Sky Pavilion's treasures for themselves.
Lu Zhou's expression was calm as he looked at Golden Court Mountain's barrier.
Although the barrier was only one-third as strong as it was before, it was still not a place ordinary thieves could enter.
Lu Zhou walked forward with his hands on his back. His steps were light.
Although his extraordinary power was depleted due to the outburst, he was still in good condition.
Shortly after, he arrived at the Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall.
Many female disciples were already waiting in the great hall. Hua Wudao and Leng Luo rose to their feet from the side. They cupped their fists at Lu Zhou before they sat back down.
Lu Zhou returned to his seat in the great hall and sat down.
He remained silent.
Leng Luo was the first to speak. "The ones who stole from the Evil Sky Pavilion are the Upper Prime's Five Mice … The conflict in Upper Prime City was caused by the Five Mice. After I ordered the Four Dark Knights to quell the chaos in Upper Prime City, the Five Mice disappeared. However, I didn't expect them to come to the Evil Sky Pavilion. "After giving it some thought, he added," They're quite bold. "
Hua Wudao nodded.
"The Upper Prime's Five Mice are skilled in thievery and are extremely cunning. Their reputation in the cultivation world is second only to Yanzi Yunsan. It's just that Yunsan fights alone, while the Upper Prime's Five Mice like to gang up. "
He asked, "How did they get past the barrier?"
No matter how weak the Golden Court Mountain's barrier was, it would not be able to withstand it.
It was not a place that ordinary rats could easily enter.
"The reason why the Five Mice are good at stealing is that they have mastered a secret technique. This secret technique is somewhat similar to the Dao Invisibility Technique I've learned, but it's not exactly the same," said Leng Luo. Over the past decade or so, the Five Mice have snuck into the barriers of many large sects to steal … That's why the cultivation world has given them the nickname 'Five Mice'. "
Lu Zhou nodded.
He recalled the scene when he captured Yanzi Yunsan.
When Yunsan was captured by the Binding Cage, he even burrowed into the ground.
No matter what kind of thief they were, they all had their own special methods … They were indeed cunning.
At this moment, Pan Zhong walked in.
"Pavilion Master, we've already checked. We only lost some trash in the East Pavilion."
Trash?
Everyone was confused by his words.
Why would someone steal trash?
"Nothing else?" Mingshi Yin asked.
"No … Perhaps, they've thought it through and are afraid." Pan Zhong felt that those who dared to steal from the Evil Sky Pavilion were truly bold. "When Senior Leng appeared, they ran away."
Mingshi Yin nodded. He stroked his chin and said, "You have a point."
However, after Lu Zhou and the others left, only the old, the sick, and the disabled were left on the mountain.
It was only natural that they could not capture the Five Mice.
This matter could be considered big, but it could also be considered small.
If it was a minor matter, nothing was lost. If it was a major matter, it was related to Golden Court Mountain's barrier. As long as the barrier was not repaired, even if the Five Mice were killed, there would be other rats eyeing the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Moreover, the barrier was still weakening.
Lu Zhou felt that it was pointless to repair the barrier now. His cultivation base was insufficient, and his disciple's cultivation base would need a few years. Even if the barrier was repaired, the Noble Path would still attack Golden Court Mountain when their lifespans ran out.
He could not waste a Peak Trial Card just to repair the barrier.
Leng Luo said again, "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"What is it," Lu Zhou said.
"The Black Knights have fought the Upper Prime's Five Mice before … Their strength and cultivation bases aren't great. They usually work with them to survive. I suspect … "
Leng Luo paused for a moment before he continued, "The Upper Prime's Five Mice have a close relationship with the Evil Sky Pavilion's seventh disciple, Si Wuya."
"Why do you say that?"
It was difficult to convince others with a wild guess without any basis.
Leng Luo said, "I heard that the Five Mice have connections with the Darknet. Today, the Five Mice went to the eastern pavilion from the hidden chamber through the great hall. However, they didn't touch anything. Clearly, they have an ulterior motive. The Five Mice must be here for the Peacock Plume. Now that they've returned in failure, I'm afraid there will be a second time. "
"Master … This traitor's cultivation base has been restrained, and yet, he still dares to act so arrogantly. I request that we descend the mountain and bring him back for questioning!"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he fell into deep thought.
