The others were speechless when they saw this. Lu Ping had completely embarrassed the Luo Sect.
However, they were not in a position to say anything.
Lu Ping had brought so many elites here. It was only right for them to send them out.
Were they supposed to go all out and fight to the death?
Hua Wudao was the last to leave the holy land. He did not say much. He merely cupped his fists at the others and rose into the air.
Yun Tianluo cupped his fists and said, "Brother Ji, we'll meet again."
"We'll meet again."
The two elites looked at each other from a distance.
At this moment, Lu Ping replaced Mingshi Yin at the helm.
Meanwhile, the cloud-splitting chariot flew in from another direction and created several barriers.
The cloud-splitting chariot disappeared into the horizon.
The disciples of the Three Sects heaved sighs of relief.
Patriarch Yun Tianluo sighed and shook his head. "Nan Gongwei, Yun Wuji, Feng Yizhi …"
The sect leaders of the Three Sects were startled. They hastily went up to their patriarch and kneeled.
The other disciples did not dare to speak as well. They only stood respectfully.
"Are my words … useless now?" Yun Tianluo asked.
"I dare not!" Nan Gongwei said.
"Do you know what's sealed in the chessboard?" Yun Tianluo's voice was gentle now.
The three of them shook their heads.
Yun Tianluo looked at them and shook his head.
"I don't know." Nan Gongwei had been watching the two of them play as well.
When he saw the energy swords in the air and the brightness of the veins on the holy land, he thought it was just an ordinary clash. There was nothing special about it.
Yun Tianluo shook his head again. He looked at the three sect leaders and sighed heavily. "This is the reason why I didn't give you the chessboard. Sealed inside is the secret of my attempt to reach the Nine-leaf stage. "
"Patriarch!" Nan Gongwei, Yun Wuji, and Feng Yizhi shuddered. They prostrated themselves and kowtowed.
The patriarch had given such an important item to an outsider instead of the Three Sects.
What did the three of them think?
"Why?" Nan Gongwei's gaze was complicated as he stood up and asked.
"Because … you're not worthy!"
"…"
Yun Tianluo waved his sleeve and turned around. He seemed like he had regained his strength before he said confidently, "Those who attempt to reach the Nine-leaf stage … will die."
"Die?" The three of them exchanged a look.
They were still a long way from attaining the Eight-leaf stage. Naturally, they did not know the rules and taboos involved.
"Over the years I've been in seclusion, I've been thinking about what went wrong … I've tried my best to seal my memories. A thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye. I've figured out a problem … "
He paused and continued, "That is, difficult problems should be solved by smarter people."
Many cultivators were unwilling to share their experiences and understandings of breakthroughs with others. The personal notes of many great cultivators were often more precious than some high-level cultivation methods.
However, Yun Tianluo understood it now.
The Great Dao was the simplest. Since he couldn't make a breakthrough himself, why not hand it over to someone more promising?
Just as Brother Ji said, who said that the truth can't be broken?
This was the reason he chose to play against Lu Zhou. It was not complicated at all. In fact, it was a simple reason.
If the chessboard was given to the three Sect Masters, it would not be a great gift, but a death sentence!
"Patriarch, is this why you're playing chess with the Evil Sky Pavilion?" Nan Gongwei asked, puzzled.
"That's right."
Yun Tianluo turned around slowly and said, "Do you know why I asked you to kowtow and apologize to Brother Ji?"
The three of them shook their heads again.
This time, even Sword Saint Luo Shisan who had a sour expression on his face looked over.
Yun Tianluo continued to say, "I have a feeling … Perhaps, he'll find a way to attain the Nine-leaf stage."
"…"
As soon as these words left his mouth …
The entire holy land was deathly silent.
All of them looked at Patriarch Yun Tianluo in shock.
If someone else had said this, no one would have cared. They would have scoffed. However, the person who said this was the leader of the Three Sects, their Patriarch, Yun Tianluo.
"How's this possible?" Nan Gongwei had an incredulous expression on his face.
"Brother Ji is older than me … However, when I played chess with him earlier, I sensed a bottomless vitality. This isn't the vitality of someone who's at the end of his great limit. "
"…"
Waves of shock surged in the three of them.
They recalled Sword Saint Luo Shisan's attack that shocked the heavens and earth and made the gods weep. However, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Master had easily defeated him with a single move.
'This …'
Was this something someone at the end of his great limit could do?
Yun Tianluo turned around and walked toward the edge of the holy land. "Don't say that you're being unreasonable. Even if you're being reasonable, you'll have to swallow your pride!"
The three of them were completely baffled.
The other disciples said in unison, "Safe journey, Patriarch!"
…
The cloud-splitting chariot passed through dozens of barriers and left the 20 mountains behind. It left the sea of clouds that obstructed their vision.
Little Yuan 'er scratched her head as she recalled Mingshi Yin's words. She said, "Master … Fourth Senior Brother's words make sense. Why didn't he wipe out the Yun Sect?"
Lu Ping staggered.
He almost lost his footing.
At this moment, the cloud-splitting chariot jolted slightly as well.
"I'm sorry …" Lu Ping wanted to slap himself. Why did he volunteer to send these big shots off? At that moment, was there something wrong with his head? However, when he thought about it, he knew the retarded elders of the Luo Sect would surely criticize him. It was good that he came out. It was good that he could listen to the big shots' discussions.
Little Yuan 'er suddenly added, "Just like the man at the helm … Shouldn't he be chopped into pieces?"
The flying chariot jolted again.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the sea of clouds in the distance.
Indeed, the little girl had matured a lot. At the very least, she listened to Mingshi Yin's words.
If she listened to reason, it meant she was, at the very least, on the right side.
Without waiting for Lu Zhou's reply …
Mingshi Yin said with a smile, "Little Junior Sister, that's the Three Sects' territory … There are dozens of barriers and many elites. There's no need to fall out with them. We must be reasonable … Otherwise, people will think that the Evil Sky Pavilion is a pushover if word of this spreads. "
"Oh."
"Also, we must show respect to Yun Tianluo. Heaven and earth are the chessboard. He used 20 years of his life to answer master's question. The Evil Sky Pavilion is reasonable as well. Don't you think so? "Mingshi Yin said.
Little Yuan 'er nodded like a chick pecking at grains. "I understand … Thank you, master."
Mingshi Yin scratched his head.
'No, shouldn't it be' thank you, Senior Brother '?'
Lu Ping was even more baffled. Were the big shots not talking about the Nine-leaf stage or lifespan? Why did it change to this?
"Ding! Disciplined Ci Yuan 'er. Reward: 100 merit points."
Lu Zhou turned to look at it and nodded slightly.
At this moment, Lu Ping pointed at the black area below and said, "Something's not right."
Mingshi Yin leaped lightly to the helm and looked down. After he was done, he said, "Master, there's a lot of wilting down there."
Lu Zhou stood up with his hands on his back. He walked to the edge and looked down as well.
Leng Luo, Pan Litian, and Hua Wudao looked down as well.
The mountains and trees were all wilted. The plants and trees had lost their vitality.
"Advance slowly."
"Understood."
The flying chariot slowed down. It even lowered its altitude.
It traveled slowly among the wilted trees.
