"You think you're worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the pavilion master?"
"I was wrong."
Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong watched from the side with great interest. The two of them were abandoned in their original sects. They had no roof over their heads and no place to stand.
Even if they could find a place to stand, it depended on whether it was reliable.
When they first joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, they had their reservations.
However, at this moment, their reservations had turned into peace of mind.
Shan Yunzheng had spoken rudely, and she deserved a slap. The Evil Sky Pavilion would not allow her to trample on it.
They suddenly remembered what the pavilion master had said before. If the pavilion master had been merciful, the Evil Sky Pavilion would not be in this state today.
…
Shan Yunzheng did not dare to dodge. She could not dodge.
This slap made her extremely obedient.
After Lu Zhou finished his palm seal, he waved his sleeve and sat down.
Naturally, Shan Yunzheng had no objections. Lu Zhou did not need to ask for her opinion. He merely glanced at her and asked, "Hua Yuexing, do you have anything else to add?"
Hua Yuexing was a young lady, after all. She had never been in such a situation before.
When she was young, she had no dignity under Shan Yunzheng's hands. Even now, she was still traumatized by Shan Yunzheng.
When she heard Lu Zhou's words, she shuddered and hastily said, "I have no objections."
"No objections?"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and gave it some thought before he said, "If you don't have any ideas, I'll make one for you."
"As you wish, Pavilion Master!" Naturally, Hua Yuexing had no objections.
The great hall fell silent.
The gazes of the others fell on her one by one.
Shan Yunzheng cupped her fists and said, "Shan Yunzheng greets you, old senior."
"Do you know why I called you here?" Lu Zhou asked.
Shan Yunzheng glanced at Hua Yuexing. She thought for a moment before she said, "Hua Yuexing learned from me in her early years and became my disciple. Due to various reasons, she was expelled. If she holds a grudge, I'm willing to apologize to her here. "
"You're the Luo Sect's Second Elder, after all. With her talent … Why would you let her go? "Lu Zhou asked.
A normal person would nurture a disciple like her.
Inheriting his legacy in the future would be a source of pride for him.
Shan Yunzheng had a complicated expression on her face. She stammered, "It's meaningless to talk about those reasons now. I'm willing to apologize to her … If the Evil Sky Pavilion wants to hold me accountable, I'll accept it unconditionally. "
He had quite a high level of awareness.
At this moment,
A deep voice rang from outside, "Shan Yunzheng, you've really embarrassed the Luo Sect."
Everyone turned to the source of the voice.
He saw Hua Wudao walking toward him with a gloomy expression.
Everyone knew that Hua Wudao and Hua Yue were close. Both of them had the surname Hua. One of them was from the Yun Clan while the other was from the Luo Clan.
He just didn't know what their relationship was.
Shan Yunzheng frowned when she saw Hua Wudao walking in with a displeased expression.
"Hua Wudao?"
"You still recognize me?"
"While I was cultivating in seclusion, I heard that you've joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, "Shan Yunzheng said.
Hua Wudao cupped his fists at Lu Zhou.
"People like you don't deserve to stay in the Luo Sect. Didn't you expel Hua Yuexing from the sect because you wanted to seize the Falling Moon Bow that originally belonged to her? "
Falling Moon Bow?
Based on the name alone, it was not an ordinary weapon.
Hua Wudao's words seemed to reveal why Shan Yunzheng expelled Hua Yuexing from the sect.
"Elder Hua, the Falling Moon Bow was given to me by Patriarch Yun Tianluo. He specifically gave it to me, Shan Yunzheng. Why must you slander me?"
"Shut up!"
Shan Yunzheng was shocked when she heard Hua Wudao's shout.
Shan Yunzheng no longer dared to speak.
She suddenly remembered that they were no longer in the Luo Sect. This was the Evil Sky Pavilion's territory.
"Patriarch Yun Tianluo wanted to give this bow to Hua Yuexing. How dare you deny it?"
At this point, everything was clear.
For a sect, good resources should be given to their own people. Once Hua Yuexing left the sect, she would not be able to obtain the Falling Moon Bow even if she was a genius cultivator.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard. He looked at Hua Yuexing and asked, "Is what you said true, Elder Hua?"
Hua Yuexing bowed and said, "Yes."
Shan Yunzheng's face turned ghastly pale as she took several steps back.
Lu Zhou looked at Shan Yunzheng and asked, "What's the grade of the Falling Moon Bow?"
Shan Yunzheng shook her head and did not answer.
Hua Wudao was not afraid. "Heaven-grade. Middle-grade. "
The others were in an uproar.
As expected, it was a heaven-grade weapon. Whether it was low-grade or middle-grade, as long as it was a heaven-grade weapon, it would be a treasure beyond the reach of countless people.
It was no wonder Shan Yunzheng had chased Hua Yuexing away.
This heaven-grade weapon was enough to make her want to do anything.
She even had the motive to kill Hua Yuexing!
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded slightly. He said, "Shan Yunzheng, I've always been reasonable. I won't listen to one side of the story. Do you have anything to say about what Elder Hua said? "
Shan Yunzheng hastily waved her hands.
"This weapon was truly given to me by Patriarch Yun Tianluo … The Luo Sect's disciples can testify to this. Please investigate this, Pavilion Master!"
"When Yun Tianluo founded the Three Sects, he never interfered with the affairs of the world. The Three Sects split up. Why did he give you a weapon?" Lu Zhou asked calmly.
"Among the Three Sects, I'm the best at archery!" Shan Yunzheng said confidently.
Hua Wudao cursed, "Bullsh * t!"
His outburst startled Shan Yunzheng again.
He walked up to Shan Yunzheng and said, "In terms of archery, Hua Yuexing's talent isn't inferior to yours. Also, as far as I know, there's a name carved on the Falling Moon Bow. Instead of saying so much, why don't you take it out and take a look? The truth will be revealed. "
"You …"
Shan Yunzheng's eyes widened. She was at a loss for words.
Duanmu Sheng touched his Overlord Spear and said, "So, it's possible to carve a name. I'll carve it here … "
Zhou Jifeng cupped his fists and said, "There's something you don't know, Mister Third. Carving a name will damage the unique Formation veins on the weapon. The dragon veins on the Overlord Spear are densely packed. If it's damaged, it'll affect its power. If you want to carve a name, you'll have to avoid the dragon veins. At the same time, you'll have to refine it with True Fire. It's almost impossible to erase the name after it's carved. Even if you erase it, you'll risk destroying the weapon. Hence, many powerful cultivators find it difficult to refine the weapon when they're trying to seize someone else's weapon. "
Pan Zhong said with a smile, "That explains why heaven-grade weapons are so valuable."
Duanmu Sheng nodded. "I see."
"I see."
After he finished speaking, the great hall fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were trained on Shan Yunzheng as well.
Shan Yunzheng's heart sank.
She instinctively took a step back.
Duanmu Sheng blew on the Overlord Spear and wiped it with his sleeve. He muttered to himself, "I'm ashamed to say this. Up until now, my Overlord Spear has never killed a Nascent Divinity realm expert."
"…" Shan Yunzheng shuddered.
"I'm not talking to you. Elder Shan, please continue." Duanmu Sheng wiped his spear again and again.
Shan Yunzheng sensed the peculiar gazes from the others.
She fell to her knees and said, "Please spare me, Pavilion Master … I came to the Evil Sky Pavilion because I don't want to become enemies with the Evil Sky Pavilion! I'm willing to apologize for the Falling Moon Bow. "
She waved her hand.
The four subordinates who came with her carried the boxes up one by one.
Click!
The boxes were opened.
They were filled with gold, silver, and jewels.
As expected, the Three Sects were rich and imposing.
However, these items were still mundane. For the Evil Sky Pavilion, there were not many people on the mountain, and their daily expenses were not high. Hence, these items were not attractive. Moreover, the Evil Sky Pavilion did not lack money. The trash in the North Pavilion and the West Pavilion could be casually sold outside, and it would be enough.
Lu Zhou looked at them indifferently. He stood up with his hands on his back and walked down the stairs.
"If it weren't for Hua Yuexing, you wouldn't have the chance to come up and apologize."
"…"
"I'll give you a chance …"
Shan Yunzheng was overjoyed when she heard this. She hastily said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master."
"Hand over the Falling Moon Bow, and I'll let bygones be bygones."
Shan Yunzheng was stunned.
For a time, she was speechless.
"You're not willing?" Lu Zhou looked down at her.
It was as though he was going to strike at her at any moment.
This extreme aura and psychological pressure left her with no choice. "I … I'll hand it over …"
Slowly and reluctantly, she took out an exquisite bow from under the cloak around her waist.
It was black and long.
At first glance, it looked like a miniature crossbow.
The others stared at it in awe.
Even Hua Wudao was in awe.
They did not expect the Falling Moon Bow to look like this.
How could such a small and delicate bow produce such a powerful arrow?
The others looked at her doubtfully.
Shan Yunzheng respectfully raised the Falling Moon Bow with both hands.
Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the Falling Moon Bow flew into his hand.
When he held the Falling Moon Bow in his hand, he was reminded of the Sky Bow he first saw in the Skylark Pagoda.
The Falling Moon Bow seemed smaller than the Sky Bow.
"Ding! Obtained heaven-grade weapon, Falling Moon Bow. Needs to be refined before use."
"Hua Yuexing." Lu Zhou saw the words carved on the Falling Moon Bow.
Shan Yunzheng lowered her head. She no longer quibbled.
Facts spoke louder than words.
She felt as though her face was being roasted by fire. She was ashamed.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "I'll take your weapon. Are you willing to submit?"
Did Shan Yunzheng have a choice?
She was still on the death list. If she did not even have a life, what was the point of having a weapon?
"I submit …" Shan Yunzheng said.
"Alright."
Lu Zhou glanced at Hua Yuexing who was standing nearby. Then, he looked at Hua Wudao. "Since you're tactful and Hua Yuexing's former master, I won't kill you. I won't kill you. "
Shan Yunzheng sighed in relief.
However, when she thought about the Falling Moon Bow, she felt terrible.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Shan Yunzheng felt as though she had been pardoned.
Just when she thought she could leave, a female disciple walked in.
She bowed and said, "Pavilion Master, the Luo Sect's mount has gone out of control."
Shan Yunzheng frowned.
Pan Zhong chuckled and said, "I didn't expect the Luo Sect to be so confident. They even have a mount."
Roar!
Roar!
A strange cry rang in the air.
Lu Zhou felt as though he had heard this voice somewhere before, but he could not recall where.
"Master, I'm willing to take down this mount. Golden Court Mountain won't allow it to do as it pleases!" Duanmu Sheng raised his spear and stood up.
Shan Yunzheng hastily said, "It's a misunderstanding.
It must be a misunderstanding … This mount belongs to the Luo Sect's Third Elder. I've only borrowed it at the last minute. Perhaps, it hasn't been tamed yet. Please have mercy on me, Pavilion Master. I'll take it away now! "
Roar!
Another female disciple walked in.
She said with a flustered expression, "Pavilion Master, this is bad. That mount … is releasing poison!"
"Releasing poison?"
"How's that possible?" Shan Yunzheng was baffled.
Lu Zhou said softly, "Filthy animal, come with me."
Shan Yunzheng was on the verge of tears.
It was one thing to leave the Falling Moon Bow behind as an apology, but the mount as well?
After all, mounts were more precious than weapons.
However, after a mount acknowledged a new master, it was difficult to tame it again. Therefore, almost no one would covet another's mount.
…
The others followed Lu Zhou to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Shan Yunzheng was flustered. She led her four subordinates as they ran.
She looked up.
In the skies, a mount that resembled a wolf and exuded purple gas was running in the air.
It was more than ten feet long.
The mount kept releasing strange purple gas in the air.
The purple gas kept falling.
The air seemed to be blocked. It was as though a purple fog was about to fall.
"It's poisonous."
Whizz!
Whizz!
Everyone activated their Shield of Vigor to block out the purple Qi.
"What mount is that?" Pan Zhong asked curiously.
"Tell it to come down before there's too much poisonous gas left!" Zhou Jifeng urged.
Shan Yunzheng flew in the air and shouted, "Filthy animal! Come down! "
At this moment …
The mount suddenly turned around. Its eyes flashed.
It attacked Shan Yunzheng at lightning speed.
"Elder Shan!" Shan Yunzheng's subordinates called out.
This move was too unexpected.
Shan Yunzheng was an archer. She did not expect the mount to attack her.
Bam!
Shan Yunzheng fell back.
Her protective energy blocked most of the attack.
Roar!
The purple wolf-like mount suddenly enlarged and became even uglier.
"Master, I request to fight you. Take down this filthy animal!" Duanmu Sheng was eager to fight.
Lu Zhou glanced at him and shook his head.
"This isn't an ordinary poison. It's a poison infused with witchcraft …"
"Witchcraft?!"
The others were shocked.
When witchcraft was mentioned, they immediately thought of Mo Li.
How did the mount know witchcraft as well?
In the skies, the mount was releasing more and more poisonous gas.
Shan Yunzheng immediately fell to her knees and said, "Pavilion Master, this is a misunderstanding! If the Luo Sect wants to make an enemy out of the Evil Sky Pavilion, I won't walk right into their trap! Someone must be trying to drive a wedge between us! "
At this moment.
Hua Yuexing raised her hand and drew an energy arrow.
A golden energy arrow shot out.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bam! Bam!
Three energy arrows shot out like meteors and struck the wolf-like mount in the sky.
This was probably the purpose of archers.
Whether it was a siege or a battle between two armies, archers were useful for catching the enemy off guard.
Shan Yunzheng stood up decisively and drew an energy arrow.
A Six-leaf archer was indeed extraordinary.
Three energy arrows sailed through the air.
Boom!
They were clearly fired separately, but they struck the mount at the same time.
The others were shocked by this.
Hua Yuexing appeared ashamed.
He patted her shoulder and said, "There's no need to take it to heart. You'll surpass her in a few years' time. After all, you're only at the Two-leaf stage while she's at the Six-leaf stage. "
"Mhm. Thank you for your encouragement, Elder Hua, "Hua Yuexing said.
Shan Yunzheng could not be bothered with this.
Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.
Her unique qualities as an archer were on full display at this moment.
She had to tame this beast as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the Luo Sect and the Evil Sky Pavilion would be at odds!
More and more powerful energy arrows shot out from Shan Yunzheng's hand.
Initially, she fired three arrows, but now, she fired ten arrows at once. They were like fireworks.
However, the mount's defenses were peculiar. Apart from a few whimpers, it was not injured. Instead, it was releasing poisonous gas at an even faster rate.
The mount seemed to have entered a frenzied state.
It weaved in and out of the skies.
Roar!
Who could catch up to it at this speed?
They had to unleash their grand techniques to barely catch up to it. Not to mention taming it!
