Lu Zhou walked out of the courtyard.
Being able to obtain an incomplete piece of the armor was completely out of his expectations.
As soon as the red energy threads erupted, he knew that someone must have embedded the Earth Scroll fragments into the armor.
The Heavenly Writing in the Melilot Graveyard was not damaged even after years of erosion.
How could this armor survive hundreds of years unscathed?
So it was a remnant of a book.
Was this their so-called special power?
At this moment, Zuo Yushu bowed at Lu Zhou and said, "Brother, Lin Xin is from the same sect as me, after all. Why don't I do this myself?"
Lu Zhou looked at Zuo Yushu.
"If you still have your cultivation, I will naturally agree. But now that you've severed your lotus and re-cultivated, how are you going to deal with it? "
Zuo Yushu slowly raised the walking stick in her hand and lightly tapped it on the ground.
An avatar appeared behind her.
There was no Golden Lotus under the avatar, only two leaves that were spinning continuously.
"With your help, I'm now a Two-leaf Nascent Divinity realm cultivator."
When she said this, there was a hint of pride in her tone.
In truth, she did have the right to show off. After all, she was recultivating after severing her lotus. It was clear she was talented to reach the Two-leaf stage in such a short time.
Lu Zhou shook his head. "Two-leaf is too low, after all."
A reluctant expression appeared on Zuo Yushu's face.
Zhu Honggong interjected, "Don't be discouraged, Elder Zuo. I'm only at the One-leaf stage as well … At our level, we'll be killed if we go out."
"…"
Zuo Yushu staggered and almost lost her footing.
"Elder Zuo!"
"I … I'm fine."
Zuo Yushu looked at Zhu Honggong.
This was very infuriating.
In terms of talent, cultivation base, experience, and skills, I'm much stronger than Zhu Honggong.
Someone was actually going to catch up.
"Stay here and cultivate well … You'll have plenty of opportunities to prove yourself in the future," Lu Zhou said before he turned around and left.
"Farewell, Pavilion Master."
Lu Zhou returned to the eastern pavilion.
He still wasn't in a rush to comprehend the Earth Scripture.
Combined with his experience of comprehending the Human Book, when he obtained his first divine art, he would often enter an unconscious state.
At that time, his cultivation was also weak, so he wouldn't attract too much attention if he meditated in the secret room.
Especially when the royal family was still eyeing them.
If there was a way to deal with a Nine-leaf cultivator, it would not be as simple as an armor.
For the sake of caution, Lu Zhou decided to intimidate them further.
…
On the second day, a letter landed on the Taixu Academy's main altar.
For a time, the contents of the letter terrified everyone in the Taixu Academy.
The elders of the Taixu Academy immediately called for a meeting.
In the meeting hall.
"Zhou Wenliang, where are Wang Jianrang and Zhang Gong?" Lin Xin glanced at the elders present.
"Ancestral Master, the three elders went out yesterday and have yet to return."
Lin Xin frowned. "Forget it. Ignore them."
"Patriarch, the Evil Sky Pavilion has issued another ultimatum. This time, they're asking for your head. They've gone too far."
Perhaps it was because the Crown Prince's visit had given the elders a little more confidence.
Lin Xin calmly said,
"I've decided to fight Old Fiend Ji on Dangyang Peak in three days … Men!"
A disciple appeared in the meeting hall. "Disciple is here."
"Bring me this old man's armor."
"Yes."
Shortly after, two disciples carried a box into the meeting hall.
When Lin Xin saw the box, he said boldly, "Success or failure depends on this."
…
Shortly after, the news of the Taixu Academy's Patriarch challenging the Evil Sky Pavilion's Old Villain Ji spread.
It was like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.
The Taixu Academy's Patriarch, Lin Xin, was only an Eight-leaf cultivator at his peak. Where did he get the confidence to challenge Old Villain Ji?
For a time, there were many opinions.
In the afternoon, the Hengqu Branch received the news as well.
Shi Hong, the Hengqu Branch's Master, summoned the elders for an emergency meeting.
"I'm sure all of you are aware that Lin Xin wants to challenge Old Villain Ji on Dangyang Peak. What do you think?" Shi Hong asked.
"Is Lin Xin crazy? He didn't even dare to provoke Old Villain Ji when he was at his peak. Now that Old Villain Ji is at the Nine-leaf stage, isn't he just throwing his life away? "
At this moment, the Third Elder said,
"I heard that Crown Prince Liu Zhi's trip to the Taixu Academy has emboldened them."
"Emboldened? Unless someone in the Divine Capital is at the Nine-leaf stage or the Ten Terminal Formation is moved to Dangyang Peak. "
The others discussed among themselves.
Shi Hong, the Sect Master, shook his head and said, "Our Hengqu Branch's elder, Zhang Can, might die in the hands of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Who knows, the Evil Sky Pavilion's next target might be the Hengqu Branch. "
The others were stunned.
Mocking the Taixu Academy was equivalent to mocking their future selves.
"Second Elder, you'll lead some men to Dangyang Peak and observe from the shadows."
"Understood."
…
Big Dipper Academy.
The president, Zhou Youcai, gathered several academy disciples and said,
"I heard that the Taixu Academy's Patriarch, Lin Xin, challenged Old Villain Ji to a duel on Dangyang Peak. Go and investigate, but don't interfere. Remember this, remember this."
"Yes, master."
Zhou Youcai nodded and said, "If Lin Xin loses, pretend nothing happened. If he wins, send a letter to me immediately."
"Understood!"
Meanwhile, the Sky Conduct Academy, the factions in the Divine Capital, the Crown Prince's personal guards, the Imperial guards, and the remaining forces of the ten great sects that were massacred by the Evil Sky Pavilion sent their men to the vicinity of Dangyang Peak.
…
The third day.
On the peak of Dangyang Peak.
It was a beautiful day, and the wind was gentle and pleasant.
The Taixu Academy's Patriarch, Lin Xin, sat in the center of a huge round plate.
Two disciples stood behind him. Their faces were drenched in sweat, and they seemed slightly guilty.
"Has the news spread?" Lin Xin asked.
"In reply to your question, Patriarch, the news spread two days ago."
Lin Xin looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Put on the armor for me."
"Yes, master."
The two disciples opened the box and retrieved the armor.
They walked respectfully to Lin Xin's side.
Lin Xin glanced at the armor and asked, "Why is it wrapped in a cloak?"
"Elder Zhou said that this … this will better accentuate your elegance," the disciple said.
At Lin Xin's age, there was no need for him to care about his reputation.
However, he suddenly felt that he should be more valiant and heroic today.
"Very well … I'm sure many sects want to see me make a fool of myself. I'll show them."
The armor was put on.
"Patriarch … We're counting on you this time." The two disciples took a few steps back.
Lin Xin said, "I know that the academy and the other sects are saying that I've gone mad. However, they don't know what confidence His Highness the Crown Prince has given me. He chuckled … "
"Patriarch, what gives you that confidence?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Lin Xin stroked his beard and nodded.
The two disciples were puzzled when they heard this.
At the foot of Dangyang Peak, some cultivators flew over at a low altitude.
They hid in the corners of the mountain.
They looked at the peak of Dangyang Peak.
The sun was setting in the west.
Lin Xin turned around and looked in the direction of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
In the cloudless sky, there were no cultivators flying over.
He could not help but snort and say, "Old Villain Ji is afraid, after all."
"You're right, Patriarch."
The later Old Villain Ji arrived, the more confident he would be.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, a flying chariot with a long glowing tail appeared in the distance.
A cultivator hiding in the treetops nearby saw the flying chariot and hastily reported, "The Evil Sky Pavilion's cloud-splitting chariot is here."
'It's finally here!'
