Crown Prince Liu Zhi shuddered.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the kowtowing eunuch.
In a very dignified and deep tone, he said, "Say that again."
"Lin Xin was no match for Old Villain Ji and died in battle on Dangyang Peak," the eunuch answered truthfully.
No matter how scared he was, he knew that he couldn't hide anything or give false information in this kind of situation.
Hearing this, Liu Zhi's eyes were filled with fire, and he said with a complicated expression, "How is that possible?"
He could not accept this result, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The armor didn't trigger any special power?" Liu Zhi asked.
"Your … Your Highness, Old Demon Ji … Old Demon Ji didn't even make a move!"
Liu Zhi: "???"
This couldn't be justified.
Even without the special power, the armor's defenses were still formidable. Moreover, Lin Xin was an Eight-leaf cultivator. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. If Old Villain Ji did not make a move, how were they supposed to take Lin Xin down?
"Yu Zhenghai or Yu Shangrong?" Liu Zhi asked gruffly.
Since Old Demon Ji didn't make a move, his two disciples were the only ones who could kill Lin Xin.
However, Yu Zhenghai was busy with the battle at Yu Province. He did not have the time to spare to kill Lin Xin. Moreover, it was common knowledge that Yu Zhenghai had always been at odds with his master. Could it be … Yu Shangrong?
Sword Demon …
The eunuch replied, "The Evil Sky Pavilion's Duanmu Sheng."
"…"
Liu Zhi's expression changed drastically. He said gruffly, "Duanmu Sheng is an Eight-leaf cultivator?"
"Your Highness … Lin Xin underestimated Duanmu Sheng, and his abdomen was pierced by Duanmu Sheng's spear. His armor was useless," the eunuch reported.
Liu Zhi frowned.
"The armor is useless?"
He didn't quite believe it.
When he received the armor, he had tried it on someone. Ordinary Primordial Soul cultivators were unable to do anything to the armor. How could this be?
The eunuch continued, "After Lin Xin died, Old Villain Ji attacked twice. He broke the Taixu Academy's barrier with a palm strike and destroyed the Hengqu Branch's barrier with a sword strike. "
"…"
Liu Zhi didn't want to listen to him anymore.
He was so angry that he closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Scram."
The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately ran out.
At this moment, Liu Zhi opened his eyes and muttered, "Are we really going to ask him to come out of seclusion?"
"Or … should I continue looking for that mysterious expert?"
Liu Zhi frowned, unable to come up with a good idea.
Meanwhile.
The news of Lin Xin's death on Dangyang Peak quickly spread.
If it was just Lin Xin's death, the news wouldn't be so exaggerated. This palm and sword had broken two great barriers. It really shocked all the sects and clans in the cultivation world.
In the past, they could hide behind the barrier. Now that the Evil Sky Pavilion could easily destroy the barrier, who would dare to oppose the Evil Sky Pavilion?
Even the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects, which had more than 20 barriers protecting them, would have to think twice, let alone those small sects.
This was the reason Lu Zhou chose to attack the barrier.
It was enough to intimidate them.
Only then could he properly cultivate in seclusion.
…
The cloud-splitting chariot returned to the airspace above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Mingshi Yin said, "With master's palm strike and sword strike, the barrier shattered. I'm afraid nobody will look down on the Evil Sky Pavilion anymore."
Duanmu Sheng nodded.
"Of course … Now that Second Senior Brother has returned, it's only a matter of time before the Evil Sky Pavilion returns to its former glory."
Just when the cloud-splitting chariot was about to descend …
At this moment, the melodious sound of a flute rang from the top of the southern pavilion.
The sound of the flute was sometimes hurried, sometimes calm, sometimes like a storm, and sometimes like a light drizzle.
When Mingshi Yin heard the sound of the flute, he said, "This is bad.
That little girl, Conch, is going to lure the beasts here! "
Mingshi Yin was at the helm. He had the best view.
Hence, he looked to his left and right.
At this moment, he saw a fine horse with a red mane and a black silk robe circling above the Evil Sky Pavilion on auspicious clouds. Its eyes shone with a golden light.
Mingshi Yin recalled Tiangou and said, "That's right.
"Master, the beasts are invading!"
Duanmu Sheng shouted, "Cursed animal!"
He pushed away from the ground with the tip of his feet and flew toward the fine horse with his Overlord Spear in hand.
Neigh!
The fine horse suddenly neighed into the sky. It spun around and galloped into the distance.
Duanmu Sheng was taken aback. He said, "Cursed animal, I scared it away!"
At the top of the southern pavilion, Little Yuan 'er hovered in the air and said, "Third Senior Brother, it's all your fault!"
"Huh?" Duanmu Sheng steadied his Overlord Spear and scratched his head. He did not understand.
"We were so close to capturing that horse! So close … "
The flute stopped playing.
Conch stood on the top of the tower. She looked up at Duanmu Sheng and the flying chariot with a gentle gaze. She smiled sweetly and said, "You're back!"
Lu Zhou stepped out of the flying chariot.
At this moment, Hua Yuexing flew toward them at a low altitude. She pulled on an energy arrow and fired.
Whoosh!
The energy arrow chased after the fine horse and vanished in the air.
Hua Yuexing frowned and said, "This horse is strange. I can't hit it no matter how hard I try …"
"Stop," Lu Zhou said calmly.
Hua Yuexing turned around.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master."
The four elders walked out from the ground of the southern pavilion.
The female disciples, Pan Zhong, and Zhou Jifeng looked up as well.
"Pavilion Master, you're back just in time. This cursed animal has been causing trouble outside the barrier since early in the morning. The elders have severed their lotuses and recultivated, but they can't do anything about it," Hua Yuexing said.
Little Yuan 'er pouted and said, "Master, you're back at the right time.
If Conch didn't stabilize it, Golden Court Mountain's barrier would've been torn down again! That's too despicable! "
The others chimed in, venting their displeasure toward the fine horse.
Clearly, they had been tormented by the horse throughout the past half a day.
Lu Zhou remained silent. He stroked his beard and looked into the distance.
The fine horse galloped further and further away. Then, it came to a halt on auspicious clouds.
Lu Zhou looked at Conch and asked, "Didn't it say anything?"
Conch knew the language of beasts. Logically, she should be able to communicate with it.
Conch shook her head and said, "It's unwilling to speak."
In other words, it was unwilling to communicate.
Leng Luo cupped his fists. "Even this little girl, Conch, can't be tamed. Such a wild animal is difficult to tame. I'm afraid it'll be a disaster in the future. I suggest that you kill it and protect Golden Court Mountain's barrier, Pavilion Master."
"I suggest that we kill it as well," Pan Litian said.
Zuo Yushu said, "I find this strange. Golden Court Mountain is inhabited by humans, after all. Powerful beasts usually don't set foot in human territory. Why would such a fine horse appear here?"
"Perhaps, it's a scheme of the Other Tribesmen. Don't forget that the Lanni Bonar family, the emissary of the Other Tribesmen, even brought their coffins here. If a beast like Tiangou starts a massacre, it'll be disastrous," Hua Wudao said.
The others were still discussing among themselves when …
"Don't be impatient."
Lu Zhou said calmly.
He stepped forward in the air.
With each step, he covered dozens of feet.
In just a blink of an eye, he arrived at the top of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
He looked at the fine horse hovering in the distance.
"The pavilion master is making a move!"
"That damned beast! Have a taste of the pavilion master's cloud-piercing arrow!" Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng's eyes shone with excitement.
Lu Zhou did not summon Unnamed.
Instead, he waved his sleeve at the fine horse in the distance and said indifferently, "Ji Liang, get down here."
His voice reverberated in the air.
It rumbled like thunder from above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The others were shaken.
'This horse's name is Ji Liang?'
But … you're able to make it obedient just by yelling at it? 'Are you kidding me?'
Respect was respect.
The others were puzzled by Lu Zhou's actions as well.
It was common knowledge in the cultivation world that beasts were difficult to tame. Otherwise, the streets would have been filled with humans riding on beasts.
Moreover, even someone like Conch, who was talented in the language of beasts, could not control Ji Liang.
How could they say what they were thinking?
Just when the others were puzzled, the fine horse neighed.
It neighed.
It charged toward the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The others held their breaths.
The wild horse was going to ram the Evil Sky Pavilion's barrier again!
A beast was a beast, after all.
'Pavilion Master, oh, Pavilion Master, you should use your ultimate move and kill it with a slap or pierce its heart with an arrow!'
Shortly after …
The fine horse arrived above the barrier. Lu Zhou waved his hand, and an opening appeared on the barrier.
"Uh …"
The others exclaimed in shock. The pavilion master let it pass through the barrier?!
The fine horse descended from the opening. It slowed down and calmed down.
It came to Lu Zhou's side obediently. Neigh!
It did not attack nor did it become agitated. Instead, it obediently kneeled on all fours.
The beast was subdued!
The others were baffled.
'What's going on?
'Wasn't this fine horse arrogant and hot-tempered earlier? Why is it suddenly so obedient? '
The expressions on the faces of the four Grand Elders were extremely interesting.
Hua Yuexing bowed. "Uh … Pavilion Master, how … how did you do it?"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything. He seemed even more unfathomable.
When he saw the envious gazes from the others, he nodded in satisfaction.
'Perhaps, this is my personal charm.
