After Yu Shangrong left Wuxian Mountain, he kept flying.
He did not know the Evil Sky Pavilion was in such a great calamity. Hence, he was not in a hurry. His cultivation base had fallen to the Three-leaf stage without a Golden Lotus. He wanted to keep a low profile and leave the Divine Capital as soon as possible. Alas, he heard stories about the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus along the way.
Nobody paid more attention to the Nine-leaf stage than an Eight-leaf expert.
Yu Shangrong was no exception.
Hence, he came to the Divine Capital's relay station to rest and ask about the Nine-leaf stage.
After listening for half a day, Yu Shangrong gained a basic understanding of the situation. In one sentence, his master had defeated the eight great sects with his Nine-leaf cultivation base.
As for the truth of the matter, the details, and whether the rumors were false, he would find out when he returned.
All Yu Shangrong had to do was confirm that the Evil Sky Pavilion was still around.
However, he did not expect to meet someone who knew him at the relay station.
Before this, Yu Shangrong had only met her once. That time, he was touring the Divine Capital with his Eldest Senior Brother. They had temporarily stayed in the Prince of Qi's Mansion. That was when they met. He did not expect her to be so attached to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The hovering Longevity Sword blocked Qin Ruobing's path.
She did not dare to move forward.
Yu Shangrong turned around. With his back facing Qin Ruobing, he said calmly, "Don't think too highly of yourself. You'll only suffer if you do that. Farewell."
If he did not deny it, he would only harm her in the future.
When Yu Shangrong walked away, his Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard.
No cultivator would dare to offend someone like Yu Shangrong unless he had a death wish.
The cultivators watched as Yu Shangrong left. Expressions of envy and admiration appeared on their faces.
Perhaps, this was how a true swordsman was like.
Even though Yu Shangrong was just an ordinary relay station attendant, his impression of Yu Shangrong was much higher. Many people mocked and rolled their eyes at him in the relay station. Most cultivators with lower cultivation bases would vent their anger on him. On the other hand, this elite, the Sword Devil, who struck fear in the hearts of others, was amiable and approachable. The difference in their personalities was too great.
"I feel like I'm dreaming. I can't believe I'm talking to the Sword Devil, Yu Shangrong."
"How is this a demon? This is a gentleman … a true expert of the sword."
"Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. In the past, there were rumors that he was a devil who killed without blinking an eye. Heh, it was just the jealousy of some people."
"The people on the death list are all despicable and shameless people. I hope that Senior Sword Demon can continue filling up the list. That would be interesting."
…
The appearance of a Nine-leaf Golden Lotus far surpassed the momentum of severing one's Golden Lotus. The speed at which the news spread was beyond imagination.
In the faraway Liang Province, the Nether Sect's Four Great Protectors were originally preparing to lead their forces against the Roulians. However, they suddenly stopped overnight.
Yu Zhenghai was in slight disbelief. He looked at his four most capable great protectors.
"Hua Chongyang, I trust you the most. Who's spreading the rumor?" Yu Zhenghai asked gruffly.
"Sect master, our branches have asked around. There's news of a Nine-leaf cultivator. I'm afraid it's true," Hua Chongyang said.
Bai Yuqing bowed and said,
"The Evil Sky Pavilion is being attacked at the same time that we're fighting the Roulians. How can there be such a coincidence? Someone must be behind this."
Hua Chongyang said,
"The Other Tribesmen's sudden retreat must be because they're afraid of the Nine-leaf stage. This is a good thing for us. From now on, we can focus on dealing with the royal family. "
Yu Zhenghai did not seem happy when he heard their words.
Instead, he paced back and forth, a little restless.
"How's the Evil Sky Pavilion doing?" Yu Zhenghai asked.
So what if he could conquer the world? The appearance of a Nine-leaf cultivator would ruin all his plans.
Hua Chongyang said,
"It's basically confirmed that the seven great sects' attack on the Evil Sky Pavilion has failed. The barrier of Golden Court Mountain had been restored. The Nine-leaf stage … I'm afraid the Nine-leaf stage is more powerful than we imagined. "
"…"
Yu Zhenghai was not happy that his master had become stronger. In fact, he was frustrated.
If this went on, how was he going to deal with the royal family?
He could still hide in Great Yan's nine provinces.
If he wanted to conquer Great Yan, he would have to fight the Imperial family.
At that time, what if his master came looking for trouble with the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus?
I can't think about this. Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
Hua Chongyang seemed to have read Yu Zhenghai's mind. He said tentatively, "Sect Master, now that Liang Province has been stabilized, why don't you … hide in Qing Province and Yangzhou?"
Now that the situation in Liang Province had been stabilized, it would be easy for his position to be exposed if he stayed here.
Yu Zhenghai frowned when he heard this.
He stopped pacing and said with a solemn expression, "Do I need to hide?"
Did the great sect master of the greatest fiend sect under the heavens need to hide?
Hua Chongyang realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly bowed and said,
He hastily bowed and said, "It's … it's only a suggestion."
"Apart from the Divine Capital, I believe the rest of Great Yan's nine provinces will soon be under the Nether Sect's control. What other places are more difficult to conquer?" Yu Zhenghai asked.
"The Jing Province. The terrain there is treacherous. There are many mountains and lush vegetation. It's also protected by Formations. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack," Hua Chongyang said.
Yu Zhenghai nodded. "In that case, I'll personally oversee Jing Province."
"You're wise, sect master … With you here, there's no need to worry about not conquering Jing Province. I'm willing to steer the helm and send you off tomorrow morning, sect master," Hua Chongyang said.
"Brother Chongyang, you must be tired. Leave this to me," Bai Yuqing said.
"I think both of you are tired. Let me do it," Di Qing said.
"No, no, no … All three of you are more tired than I am. I'm the youngest. I should be the one to steer the helm," Yang Yan said.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at the four of them and said, "Hua Chongyang, come with me. The other three will guard Mo City in Liang Province. If you see the Rouli elite, Karol, whether he's pleading for peace or begging for mercy, kill him first and report later."
"Yes, sect master," Bai Yuqing, Di Qing, and Yang Yan said in unison.
Hua Chongyang seemed slightly happy. He bowed and said, "In that case, I'll return and make some preparations …"
"There's no need for that."
"What do you mean, sect master?"
"We'll leave at once."
Yu Zhenghai looked in the direction of Jing Province with his hands on his back.
"Understood!"
…
In the eastern pavilion of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
After two days of rest, Lu Zhou's mental state had recovered slightly.
The Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power had recovered slightly as well.
At this moment, the 1,500 merit points suddenly rang in his ears. He was slightly shocked.
'Did Yu Shangrong make a move again?
Or is it Mingshi Yin? '
Back at the Obedient Villa, Mingshi Yin was able to kill a Five-leaf cultivator while he was only a Three-leaf cultivator. Lu Zhou did not believe that Mingshi Yin could kill a Two-leaf cultivator. Clearly, Mingshi Yin had concealed his strength.
In any case, he was the one who benefited from this. It did not matter if Mingshi Yin had concealed his strength or not.
Then, he called up the system dashboard and looked at his merit points.
Merit points: 102300.
He had obtained more than 60,000 merit points from this battle.
Compared to the amount he had obtained in the past, this time it was truly a huge amount of 'wealth'.
As usual, Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to buy an avatar. Instead, he decided to try his luck at the lucky draw.
He did ten consecutive lucky draws, and each of them was a 'thank you for your participation'. This made him feel slightly guilty.
Lu Zhou could clearly feel that his chances of winning were getting worse and worse. It was not as good as before.
It seemed like he had only gotten an avatar once during the lucky draw. He had not gotten any other avatars since then.
After mulling over it for a moment, Lu Zhou decided to buy the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
"Ding! Spent 100,000 merit points. Obtained avatar, Hundred Tribulations Insight."
"Ding! Initial Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. Can sprout one leaf."
