Chang Yan returned to the cave.
The Duanlin Branch's disciples rose to their feet.
As the first disciple of the Duanlin Branch, Shao Jinhan was in charge of managing the affairs of the branch. Since the elders were in seclusion, he had no choice but to shoulder the burden.
"Eldest Senior Brother, should we tell the patriarch about severing his Golden Lotus?" someone asked.
Shao Jinhan shook his head and said, "No.
We'll have to wait until we're done with the Evil Sky Pavilion … The patriarch's time is almost up. Severing his Golden Lotus is no different from committing suicide. The Duanlin Branch had no choice but to resort to unconventional means in order to survive this long. "
The core disciples nodded in agreement.
Shao Jinhan continued to say, "Also, all Duanlin Branch disciples are forbidden from severing their Golden Lotuses. Whether we'll be able to establish ourselves in the cultivation world depends on this. "
…
Night fell.
The Evil Sky Pavilion was silent.
Below the northern pavilion, on a cliff halfway up the mountain, three elders were admiring the moonlight.
"I really don't understand how the pavilion master did it … The energy blade was heavily imbued with the power of talismans. Even an elite from the Celestial Masters Sect would have a hard time removing it," Pan Litian said as he leaned against a rock.
Hua Wudao said, "If even Elder Pan can't figure it out, I'm even more confused. I've repeatedly checked Princess Yongning's Extraordinary Eight Meridians. The destroyed meridians were miraculously repaired. "
The two of them looked at Leng Luo who remained silent with his silver mask.
Leng Luo looked at the moonlight with his hands on his back and said,
"I'm younger than the pavilion master, but I've seen much of the world. I've never seen such a unique healing technique before. "
"Old Leng, weren't you injured back then? How did you survive the self-destruction?" Pan Litian asked.
Leng Luo glanced at Pan Litian. 'This old geezer is really touching my sore spot.'
When Pan Litian saw Leng Luo remaining silent, he stopped joking and said, "How much of his cultivation base do you think the pavilion master is hiding?"
Hua Wudao shook his head. "On the surface, the pavilion master's cultivation base is only at the Dao-transforming Divine Court realm. However, he should still be at the peak of the Eight-leaf stage."
"Indeed, the pavilion master's strength is unfathomable … However, I wonder if it's possible that he's already at the Nine-leaf stage," Pan Litian said with a chuckle.
The two of them looked at Pan Litian's eyes.
In truth, Leng Luo and Hua Wudao had been thinking about this for a long time.
The question was, if the pavilion master was a Nine-leaf cultivator, why did he spend so much effort to disguise himself as a Divine Court realm cultivator? Why did he not go and sweep away the forces that coveted the Evil Sky Pavilion? Instead, he allowed those factions to grow and form the Demon Extermination Alliance.
"Nine-leaf … That's unlikely. However, since the pavilion master has made the method of severing one's Golden Lotus public, it's clear that he's also pursuing the Nine-leaf stage."
"That makes sense … How do you explain Princess Yong Ning?" Pan Litian asked.
Leng Luo glanced at him. He pushed away from the ground and flew toward the Evil Sky Pavilion with his hands on his back. He said, "Even if I know, I won't tell you."
"Elder Hua, what about you?" Pan Litian looked at Hua Wudao kindly. "Don't be afraid. Although I'm older than you, the two of you are the only ones I can talk to in the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Uh …
Hua Wudao was stunned. Why did this sound a little scary?
He hastily rose to his feet and said, "I have other matters to attend to. Hua Yuexing is attempting the Three-leaf stage. I'll stand guard for her."
"Old Hua … Don't tell me you made a mistake when you were young?" Pan Litian laughed.
Hua Wudao appeared embarrassed. He stepped on the Eight Trigrams Circle and left the rock in a flash.
For a time, Pan Litian was the only one left on the rock.
Pan Litian lay down on the rock and looked at the moon. He muttered to himself in a daze, "… If only I were 200 years younger …"
He had just finished lamenting.
Rustling sounds rang from below.
Rustle!
Rustle!
Pan Litian's ears twitched. He slammed his palm on the rock.
Bam!
His entire body spun upwards, and then he fell down.
A dignified voice rang in the air. "Where did this thief come from?"
Then, a palm seal shot toward the forest halfway up the mountain.
Bam!
The palm seal fell into the forest and vanished.
The rustling sounds vanished as well.
"Wow, that's fast." Pan Litian dove into the air. He shot past the forest and vanished from sight.
Although Pan Litian's cultivation base had not fully recovered, and he was heavily injured from the battle with the grand shaman, Ba Ma, it did not mean that the cultivators could easily escape from under his nose.
Rustle!
"Where do you think you're going?"
Pan Litian tossed his gourd bottle out and dove down the mountain at lightning speed.
However, the older the wiser. When he was at the foot of the mountain, he stopped and gave chase.
"Trying to lure me away? I won't fall for that! "
After he finished speaking, he prepared to return.
At this moment, a voice rang from the foot of the mountain.
"Senior, why don't you come down for a chat?"
"Hm?"
Pan Litian frowned slightly. He turned to look at the pitch-black forest. "Who are you?"
"I'm Feng Liu of the Zhencang Branch." Feng Liu walked out from behind a huge tree.
"Feng Liu?"
Pan Litian did not recognize a minor character like Feng Liu. He thought about it for a moment, but he could not recall the name. He snorted and said, "This is Golden Court Mountain, the Evil Sky Pavilion. Let me give you a piece of advice. If you're caught by the Evil Sky Pavilion disciples, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
Feng Liu bowed and said, "My master is Feng Qinghe, the Zhencang Branch's Master. I've met you several times, old senior."
"You're Feng Qinghe's disciple?"
"That's right."
The Zhencang Branch was one of the ten great sects. It was only natural that they were on good terms with the Clarity Sect when it was at its peak.
Pan Litian landed and looked at Feng Liu as he said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Feng Liu was about to give a long speech when Pan Litian said in a deep voice, "Let's cut to the chase. My time is precious."
Feng Liu was taken aback. Initially, he wanted to speak from the perspective of the Noble Path and mention how Yu Zhenghai annihilated the Clarity Sect. After all, Yu Zhenghai was a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Pan Litian was in the enemy's territory. However, he did not expect Pan Litian would not give him a chance.
"Old senior, the Noble Path's Fiend Extermination Alliance has been formed … The Evil Sky Pavilion will be destroyed sooner or later …"
Swoosh!
Pan Litian suddenly tossed the gourd bottle in his hand. The gourd bottle shone with golden radiance.
Feng Liu blocked it with his arms. Bam! He retreated three steps before he regained his footing.
"You haven't lost any of your strength, old senior. Your cultivation base is indeed recovering. Alas, your internal injuries are severe …" Feng Liu said.
Pan Litian's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect Feng Qinghe's disciple to have such a profound cultivation base. Hence, he said without batting an eyelid, "Are you looking for me to drive a wedge between me and the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
"The Fiend Path is rampant. Everyone has the right to punish them. Yu Zhenghai has wreaked havoc in the nine provinces. The people have no way to make a living! Old senior … "
"Shut your mouth."
Pan Litian's voice was deep.
"Alright … In that case, please fulfill your promise, old senior … Old senior, you haven't forgotten that my master helped you leave the Clarity Sect, have you?" Feng Liu asked.
Pan Litian remained silent.
Feng Liu bowed and said, "To tell you the truth, Feng Ping is my younger brother. He encountered Old Villain Ji in Liang Province and lost his cultivation base. He's now a cripple. I don't ask for much. Pick one of the Evil Sky Pavilion's nine disciples and cripple him. Then, you'll be cleared with my master. What do you think? "
