Yu Shangrong held the Longevity Sword in place.
He muttered to himself, "I've said it before … After the battle with Eldest Senior Brother, I'll go into seclusion. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
Yu Shangrong looked in the direction his master had left and sighed softly.
"The remaining life power … It's fine if I don't want it. After I'm buried, you'll be buried with me." Yu Shangrong raised his Longevity Sword and sensed the remaining life power.
There was a red glow on the blade, but it was a pity that it was much fainter than before.
Yu Shangrong returned to the depths of the Cave of Reflection and sat down cross-legged. He did not continue his attempts to break the mantra.
…
Three days later.
A flying chariot departed from the Divine Capital and circled around the human cities.
He flew toward the Evil Sky Pavilion.
On the flying chariot.
Li Yunzhao stood beside the Empress Dowager and said, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager … I've dealt with the Evil Sky Pavilion's master before. He's not a bloodthirsty villain. Moreover, Princess Zhao Yue is his disciple. If that's the case, why would Princess Zhao Yue return to the Evil Sky Pavilion? "
The Divine Capital was protected by the Ten Terminal Formation. Cultivators who dared to cause trouble would not easily set foot in the Divine Capital.
Lying on the chair, the Empress Dowager said, "With your words, Aijia is relieved."
At this moment, Jiang Liang who was standing near the helm of the flying chariot crossed his arms and said, "Empress Dowager, a devil is a devil, after all. We must proceed with caution."
Li Yunzhao said disapprovingly,
"Jiang Liang, you've followed the Crown Prince for many years, there are many things you don't know."
"What is Eunuch Li's opinion?"
"During the battle on the Lotus Dais … the Evil Sky Pavilion's patriarch turned the tide and saved many cultivators. This matter had long since spread throughout the cultivation world. There's one more thing … Apart from the Evil Sky Pavilion's first disciple, Yu Zhenghai, the names of the others on the blacklist have disappeared, "Li Yunzhao said.
"I hope so." Jiang Liang nodded.
"I know you have a profound cultivation base, but I still want to give you a piece of advice. You mustn't act recklessly in the Evil Sky Pavilion … At that time, even I and the Empress Dowager won't be able to save you, "Li Yunzhao warned.
"Eunuch Li, you think too much … My mission this time is to protect the Empress Dowager," Jiang Liang said.
"It couldn't be better."
At this moment, the Empress Dowager, who was lying on the chair on the ground, said in an extremely calm voice, "Jiang Liang."
Jiang Liang quickly bowed and said, "Empress Dowager."
"I heard that your cultivation is very high?"
"It's just that everyone is flattering me."
"Look at Eunuch Li beside me. How is his cultivation?" The Empress Dowager's voice was very gentle, as if she was having a normal conversation.
"This …" Jiang Liang thought for a while and continued, "If we were to fight head-on, Jiang Liang would not be Eunuch Li's match. In terms of other means … Jiang Liang is confident of winning. "
Li Yunzhao smiled and said, "You might not know this, Empress Dowager, but Guard Jiang once infiltrated Rongbei's Rouli Nation single-handedly and assassinated the King of Rouli on his own. As long as it's someone Bodyguard Jiang has his eyes on, there's no one he can't kill. "
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "In that case, you're a talented general of Great Yan. You must serve the imperial court well from now on."
Jiang Liang bowed and said, "Jiang Liang's conscience is towards the imperial court."
"Eunuch Li has served me for many years. I trust his judgment. You should also listen to Eunuch Li's opinion," the Empress Dowager said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The flying chariot continued flying toward the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Eunuch Li looked to his left and right before he walked up to Jiang Liang. He waved at Jiang Liang and said, "Guard Jiang …"
Jiang Liang was slightly taken aback. He did not know what Eunuch Li was trying to do. He followed Eunuch Li.
There were two Imperial physicians on the flying chariot. They were cultivators as well. With them taking care of the Empress Dowager, there was no need for him to worry too much.
They walked to the other side of the flying chariot.
Li Yunzhao said, "I have a few heartfelt words that I'd like to speak with you, Guard Jiang."
"Do tell, Eunuch Li."
"Guard Jiang, what mission did the Crown Prince send you to the Evil Sky Pavilion on?" Li Yunzhao cut to the chase.
Jiang Liang was shocked. He said, "Why do you say that, Eunuch Li?"
"You're skilled in assassination. If the Crown Prince truly wanted to protect the Empress Dowager, why would he send you?"
Jiang Liang was momentarily speechless.
Li Yunzhao smiled and said, "Do you know why His Majesty sent the Empress Dowager to the Evil Sky Pavilion without any worries?"
Jiang Liang shook his head. He was puzzled by this as well.
The Empress Dowager was a noble person, and yet, she was willing to risk her life to go to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Jiang Liang could not figure out why His Majesty was willing to do so.
Li Yunzhao said, "It's because … the Evil Sky Pavilion's Master, Ji Tiandao, is an old friend of the former emperor."
Li Yunzhao said.
Jiang Liang's eyes widened.
He did not expect the great villain of the world to have such a relationship with the former emperor!
Jiang Liang said, "If he's an old friend, why does the Evil Sky Pavilion keep making an enemy out of the Imperial family?"
"You're wrong," Eunuch Li said solemnly.
"Wrong?"
"The Evil Sky Pavilion has never made an enemy out of the Imperial family … The ones who caused the conflict were his first disciple, Yu Zhenghai, and his seventh disciple, Si Wuya," Li Yunzhao said.
Jiang Liang was puzzled by this.
"Eunuch Li, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm but a martial artist. I'm too stupid, "Jiang Liang said.
Li Yunzhao nodded. "What I'm about to say is the same as what I said in the beginning. I advise you to behave yourself when you're in the Evil Sky Pavilion. If you mess things up, not even the Crown Prince can save you, let alone the Empress Dowager. You can weigh the pros and cons yourself. "
After saying this, Li Yunzhao waved his sleeve and left.
Jiang Liang's brows were tightly knitted together. He stood rooted to the ground.
…
It was almost evening. The Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou was in the eastern pavilion, studying the great limit of one's life.
The table before him was filled with books.
Occasionally, female disciples would bring books to the eastern pavilion.
"Pavilion Master, we've brought all the books about life here."
Lu Zhou did not look at them as he said, "Alright."
At this moment, Little Yuan 'er's voice rang from outside. "Master, the Divine Capital's flying chariot is here. Fifth Senior Sister has gone to receive them … Eh? Master, you're reading! "
Little Yuan 'er stepped into the eastern pavilion and saw the table filled with books.
Lu Zhou only picked a few books and skimmed through them.
He did not have the energy for the others.
He looked up at Little Yuan 'er and said, "Yuan' er."
"Yes, master."
"Keep an eye on the Cave of Reflection … Report to me immediately if there's anything out of the ordinary," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes, master." Little Yuan 'er received her mission and left the eastern pavilion.
Lu Zhou's gaze fell on the books before him. He muttered to himself, "The lifespans of the Nobleman Nation are short. They use cultivation to prolong their lives. Those who live longer can only live for 500 years."
In other words, although Yu Shangrong had the Longevity Sword, he only had half the lifespan of an ordinary cultivator?
Lu Zhou was still lost in his thoughts when Mingshi Yin walked out.
He bowed and said, "The people from the Divine Capital are waiting in the great hall."
"Alright." Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and walked out of the eastern pavilion.
…
Inside the Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall.
Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the crowd.
Most of them were present.
Li Yunzhao and the others stood in the middle.
Behind Li Yunzhao, Zhao Yue and one of the Imperial physicians were supporting a graceful old woman. Jiang Aijian was standing nearby. He stared at the old man intently.
"Please, sit."
Lu Zhou was not doing this out of respect for the Imperial family. He was doing this out of respect for Jiang Aijian and Zhao Yue. For this reason, he did not sit on the throne in the great hall. Instead, he sat across the Empress Dowager.
Li Yunzhao knew this was the Evil Sky Pavilion, not the palace or any other place. He could not abide by the palace's rules.
At her age, the Empress Dowager had long since seen through these things. She did not mind.
When the Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Lu Zhou, her eyebrows twitched slightly. Her withered eyes seemed to have discovered something. She sat up straight and said in a gentle voice, "Old Mister, you look like an old friend of mine."
