Lu Zhou did not enter the room. Without turning around, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Pan Litian smiled and said, "Li Yunzhao is a popular eunuch by the Empress Dowager's side … He's from the Daoist Sect, but he cultivated some heretical technique and went through Qi Deviation. However, it was a blessing in disguise, and his cultivation base improved greatly. In order to save face, the Dao Sect expelled him from the sect … Many years later, he suddenly became an inner court expert. "
Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.
He was not surprised that there were many masters in the palace.
He had been to the palace before, but not many times.
Nor had he sparred with the experts of the palace.
Perhaps they were afraid of his title as the number one devil in the world, or perhaps they were bound by the rules of the palace.
However, they did not expect Li Yunzhao to be a popular eunuch.
Such an expert … Even if he was just a eunuch, there were still many nobles who would try to curry favor with him.
Unfortunately …
Not being a real man was one of the biggest regrets in one's life.
Lu Zhou said.
"Li Yunzhao injured you, but he's looking for you now … What's his purpose?"
"Disciple, I don't know."
The cold poison in Zhao Yue's body had just subsided and she was still weak. Her reply was also weak.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll meditate for two days."
Finished.
He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Eastern Pavilion.
Zhao Yue got up with difficulty and went to the door. She stared blankly at her master's receding figure.
She was very surprised by what he had just said.
Master actually knows how to care about others?
Cough.
Zhao Yue coughed again, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
She returned to the house and sensed the cold poison in her body …
"No more?"
This greatly surprised her.
Before this, she didn't know that it was the cold poison. She thought it was the effect of practicing the Bright Jade Technique. One cold and one hot, just in line with the characteristics of the Bright Jade Technique. When practiced to the extreme, the surface of the skin would be covered with frost, which had the effect of retaining one's youthful appearance.
He did not expect that it was actually the cold poison of the Dark Yin Palm Print.
Once again, she mobilized her Primordial Qi, which flowed smoothly through her eight extraordinary meridians. There was no longer any blockage, and the self-healing effect of her Primordial Qi was also much stronger than before.
Recalling the words his master had said before he left, he felt even more ashamed.
Compared to this, the sufferings he had suffered in the past … seemed insignificant.
"Ding! Disciplined Zhao Yue. Reward: 200 merit points."
What is training? The elder instructs the younger generation, the stronger one instructs the weaker one. This is training.
When Lu Zhou heard the notification, he was slightly surprised, but he found it reasonable.
Back in the main hall.
Pan Litian and Pan Zhong followed him in.
Lu Zhou walked into the great hall and sat down slowly.
"Elder Pan, do you know Li Yunzhao?" Lu Zhou asked.
Pan Litian cupped his fists together. "After I left Clarity Sect, I did have some dealings with the palace … To tell you the truth, I joined the army and went to the battlefield during those years. He had killed countless enemies in Rongxi! Therefore, I rarely come into contact with the people inside the palace. I don't know much about Li Yunzhao … "
Hearing this, Pan Zhong was a little shocked.
This unprepossessing old beggar actually had such a legend worth showing off?
It was not uncommon for cultivators to join the army.
However, more cultivators focused on cultivating the Great Dao …
In a troop of ten thousand people, there were usually only five or six cultivators and one grand cultivator. Some chiliarchs and centurions, who had no talent in cultivation, or had only undergone Body Tempering or Mystic Enlightening, would choose to join the army to make contributions.
However, he did not expect Pan Litian to go as well.
"With your cultivation base, you should be able to turn the situation around … Isn't it a piece of cake for you to contribute to the war at the borders?" Lu Zhou said. In other words, he was trying to say, 'Why is he still an old beggar when he has contribution points?'
"Ever since I left the Clarity Sect, my cultivation base has been greatly reduced … I'm no longer an elite," Pan Litian said.
Pan Zhong asked in surprise, "Old Pan, did the Clarity Sect harm you?"
Pan Litian was already used to being addressed like this. He said, "It's fine if I don't mention it."
Lu Zhou said.
"If that's the case, I'll have to make a trip to the Divine Capital myself."
When Pan Litian heard that, he said, "I'm willing to go with you."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "You may leave."
"This old man shall take his leave."
"Junior will take his leave."
The two of them, one old and one young, respectfully left the hall.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the two of them.
Needless to say, the change in their identities was very natural. There were no obstacles at all.
Compared to before, this was the attitude the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion should have.
"Yuan 'er," Lu Zhou called softly.
"Master."
Little Yuan 'er skipped into the hall with the Nirvana Sash in her hand.
"Any news from Old Fourth?"
"No. However, Fourth Senior Brother went to Upper Prime City early in the morning … He should be here by now," Little Yuan 'er replied.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
He sat down slowly.
"I'm tired."
"Oh … I'll take my leave, master."
He had wasted some of his extraordinary power to help Zhao Yue get rid of the cold poison. He would need to replenish his extraordinary power within these two days.
If he did not have any item cards, the Heavenly Writing power would be his greatest trump card.
As for Zhao Yue's background, he would have to investigate it later. …
Upper Prime City.
In a room on the third floor of Long Wind Restaurant.
Si Wuya leaned against the window and looked down at Upper Prime City.
Upper Prime City was once Great Yan's accessory capital. Now, it was no longer as prosperous as it once was.
The Five Mice had turned Upper Prime City upside down. Coupled with the rebellion by the rebel army, they had almost destroyed the city.
Unfortunately, now …
The flames of war were about to be reignited.
The grey-robed cultivator bowed and said, "Sect Master, our men are in place. They'll move out at your command."
Si Wuya glanced at him before he looked out the window and asked, "Zhixing, how long have you been with me?"
Ye Zhixing was slightly taken aback. He did not know why his sect master would suddenly ask such a question. However, he answered, "Ten years."
"It's been ten years in just a blink of an eye …"
"I'll follow you with my life, sect master," Ye Zhixing said.
Si Wuya sighed and shook his head. "Zhixing … Do you think I've made a mistake?"
Ye Zhixing hastily bowed and said, "Why do you say that, sect master … The Darknet is only able to survive to this day because of you. It's you who stopped the tens of thousands of cultivators in Rongbei. It's you who single-handedly supported Mister First and the Nether Sect today. It's also you who burned down the Blackwood Forest … "
Si Wuya raised his hand and interrupted Ye Zhixing. Every time he mentioned these things, Ye Zhixing would mention the past glory as though he was talking about his family's treasures.
"Perhaps I'm imagining things … Too many things have happened recently that are beyond my control …"
Ye Zhixing regarded Si Wuya with a complicated gaze and said, "You can't lose your confidence …"
He changed the way he addressed Si Wuya.
He fell to one knee!
Zing!
He drew his sword!
"I'll kill whoever you ask me to … Even if I have to go to the Evil Sky Pavilion!" Ye Zhixing said expressionlessly.
Si Wuya frowned and said, "How dare you?"
"I don't dare to be rude to the Evil Sky Pavilion. I spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, sect master."
"You may rise." How could Si Wuya possibly punish his trusted subordinates? His core members had played a huge role in the Darknet's rise to its current state.
"Thank you, sect master!"
Si Wuya looked out the window again.
"When will the Upper Prime's Five Mice arrive?"
Ye Zhixing bowed and said, "We agreed to meet this morning. However … there's something I'm not sure if I should say. "
"Let's hear it."
"The Five Mice took Mister Eighth's zen tunic without your permission. This will surely alarm the old senior. Mister Eighth has always … "Ye Zhixing paused. He wanted to find a euphemistic word to describe Si Wuya, but he could not find one. He stammered for a long time.
"I know what you mean … You're worried that Old Eighth will sell the contact points?" Si Wuya asked.
"You're wise, sect master."
Ye Zhixing cupped his fists. "Sect master, you're close to Mister Eighth. We've had to stop using the usual contact points. I'm worried that the old senior will be furious and send someone here … "
Si Wuya said with a smile, "Fourth Senior Brother is the most difficult to deal with. However, he can't do anything to me."
"What if the old senior comes?"
"I'll just run."
Si Wuya's tone was nonchalant when he said these three words.
Ye Zhixing thought about it and agreed with Si Wuya. There was nothing shameful about running away from a peak elite like the old senior.
At this moment, a figure flew past the roof of the opposite building.
It seemed as though the figure had intentionally appeared in Si Wuya's line of sight.
It disappeared in a flash.
"You're here?" Si Wuya looked away from the window. He pointed at the opposite side of the table and said, "Please, have a seat."
The figure flashed past again.
A series of afterimages appeared and disappeared like a gust of wind.
The figure froze on the opposite side.
"You have a good eye, sect master." A man with a mustache and a pair of black gloves sat on the floor in a frivolous manner.
"Lu Lin … Are you alone?" Si Wuya asked.
"I'm enough. Big Brother said that you're too cunning. You might've set up a trap here and caught all five of us in one fell swoop! "
The man sitting on the floor was one of the Five Mice. He was known as the Sky Penetrator, Lu Lin.
Si Wuya said, "Tell me.
How do you want to settle this? "
"According to the Five Mice's rules, regardless of success or failure, we'll have to pay," Lu Lin said with a smile.
Ye Zhixing snorted and said, "According to the Darknet's rules, those who fail a mission will be punished. How dare you ask for a reward? "
"I'm not from the Darknet … Don't use your rules to restrict me."
"We're not from the Five Mice either. Don't use your rules to restrict the Darknet," Ye Zhixing said.
"Heh … Are you trying to argue?"
Zing!
Ye Zhixing raised his sword.
The blade gleamed coldly and reflected on Lu Lin's face.
Lu Lin sat back down. He chuckled and said, "Don't, don't, don't … We're just messing around … Why must the two of you use weapons?"
Si Wuya said, "Hand over the zen tunic."
"The zen tunic is with Big Brother … It's not with me … Don't look at me like that. I'm only here to greet you. You're a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion. We can't afford to offend you, but we can at least hide from you. From now on, we'll make a clean break and go our separate ways. We don't owe each other anything, "Lu Lin said.
When Si Wuya heard this, he said expressionlessly,
"I came to you because I value your abilities … I hope you'll work for me …"
"Hm?"
Lu Lin could hear the change in Si Wuya's voice.
"I didn't plan to hold this against you for failing the Evil Sky Pavilion's mission … However, you shouldn't have taken the zen tunic."
"What do you mean?"
Si Wuya flicked the wine cup in his hand.
The wine cup made a perfect arc in the air before it fell on the street.
Smack!
It shattered.
Ye Zhixing's eyes turned cold. The sword in his hand vibrated.
Zing!
The entire private room was shrouded in a unique energy.
Lu Lin's expression changed drastically. He stomped his feet and leaped out of the window at lightning speed.
A green light flashed in his hand as he sliced through the energy that was blocking the private room.
Meanwhile.
Two gray-robed figures charged at him from the opposite direction.
Bam!
Lu Lin fell. Like a loach, he slipped through the roof.
Ye Zhixing exclaimed in shock, "As expected of one of the Five Mice …"
Si Wuya was not in a hurry. He remained seated as though nothing had happened.
"You can make your move now."
"Understood."
Ye Zhixing produced a long black cylinder from his waist. He aimed it outside the window, lit it, and fired.
A piercing screech and a ring of light spread out.
The pedestrians and commoners on the street all saw this scene.
They stopped in their tracks to watch.
Dozens of small teams of cultivators were moving about in various corners of the city.
They did not attack the civilians. They were organized and planned as they raided various locations.
Upper Prime City was in chaos!
The instant Lu Lin, one of the Five Mice, landed, he saw two gray-robed cultivators following him.
"Si Wuya … Just you wait!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Lu Lin turned his head and bumped into someone else.
A man with a long mustache who was dressed in foreign attire grabbed Lu Lin's arm and said in Great Yan's language, "Y-y-you … hit me?"
"Don't block the way. Get lost."
Crack.
The man in exotic clothes exerted force.
Ah —
Lu Lin felt as if his arm had been crushed.
The man quickly said, "No, no, I'm sorry … I, I didn't do it on purpose."
Lu Lin was about to cry!
He was not a fool.
To be able to easily crush a Tempered Body cultivator, how could this person be an ordinary person?
But he didn't have time to worry about it. There were pursuers behind him, and he would be finished at any moment.
He turned around and ran!
"Don't, don't, don't run!" The man in exotic clothes refused to let go.
Lu Lin pulled a long face and said, "This big brother … let go, quickly let go!"
"I … I can't scatter!"
The grey-robed cultivator landed on the ground and came to the two of them, one on the left and one on the right.
Seeing that the situation was far from good, Lu Lin slashed out with a green radiance.
The man in the exotic clothes glared at him. "Oh my god, murder …" He tightened his grip.
Kacha!
He tightened his grip.
Lu Lin's entire arm was crushed!
The blade fell to the ground.
The blade shone with a peculiar radiance.
Lu Lin cried out in pain. He wanted to move, but he could not.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not move his arm. He could not move even if he wanted to.
"Thank you for your help, warrior!" The grey-robed cultivator cupped his fists.
The man waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter."
"May I know your name, warrior … If you've helped me capture this thief, I'll visit you to thank you in the future."
"You're welcome … My surname is Ri."
As soon as the word 'ri' left his mouth …
In the Long Wind Restaurant, Ye Zhixing supported Si Wuya as they slowly landed on the ground.
Lu Lin's face was covered in tears. He endured the pain in his arm and said, "S-warrior … We can talk this out."
Smack!
The man from the exotic clothes slapped Lu Lin's face and said, "I … I have nothing to talk to you about."
