Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Five months passed unknowingly.
Inside a hidden chamber in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Once again, Lu Zhou felt as though he had entered a state of oblivion.
His body was surrounded by blue starlight.
At this moment, the System rang —
[Ding! System authority upgrade successful.]
[The level of the Three Volumes of Heavenly Writing, Human Volume has been upgraded.]
[The system's coverage has been increased, but it will consume the Heavenly Book's extraordinary power.]
"The item card type has increased, but the price has increased accordingly."
A series of notifications rang in Lu Zhou's ears.
However, it was as if he didn't hear anything and was still immersed in the state of enlightenment.
The symbols of the Heavenly Writing on the "Earth" Scroll kept jumping, and the extraordinary power of the "Human" Scroll and the "Earth" Scroll gradually merged into one.
…
Meanwhile.
At the foot of Golden Court Mountain …
Liu Ge, Su Sheng, and Gu Yiran reappeared.
"Your Majesty, it's time to meet Old Villain Ji. If he refuses to see us, what should we do? "Su Sheng said.
Liu Ge glanced at Su Sheng and said, "General Su, mind your form of address."
Upon hearing this, Su Sheng hurriedly said, "This subject knows his mistake."
Gu Yiran said, "Brother Su, you're worrying too much. Although Senior Ji is from the Devil Dao, as far as I know, he's a man who keeps his promises."
"I hope so," Su Sheng said.
If it was in the past, Liu Ge might have expressed his opinion about Ji Tiandao. After all, they knew each other. Liu Ge thought he had some understanding of Ji Tiandao. However, after their last meeting, he suddenly felt that the Evil Sky Pavilion's master was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.
Liu Ge arrived before the barrier.
Su Sheng understood. He cupped his fists and transmitted his voice, "General Su Sheng of the northwestern gate of the imperial city requests an audience with Senior Ji."
This voice contained extremely vigorous Essence Qi, but it did not contain any killing power.
The sound waves swept across Golden Court Mountain, producing an echo before dissipating into the mountains.
Before long, a figure flew down from Golden Court Mountain.
This person was none other than the Evil Sky Pavilion's Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin hovered in the air and said, "I'm sorry … I wanted to ask if I could come another day."
Liu Ge, Su Sheng, and Gu Yiran: "???"
The three of them were dumbfounded. They had already made an appointment. How could he just disappear like that?
"Mister Fourth, Senior Ji said it first. How can we change the agreed time?" Su Sheng said.
Probably because they knew about the box, Su Sheng and Gu Yiran's tone and attitude were slightly more assertive than the last time they came. On top of that, Su Sheng had suffered that palm strike, and he had been feeling indignant.
Mingshi Yin crossed his arms and said with a smile, "I changed it."
"You?"
"My master is getting on in years. He didn't manage his secluded cultivation well enough. Please forgive him, Your Majesty," Mingshi Yin said.
Su Sheng frowned.
"Since it's an agreement, how can we break it?"
"Heh … What does it have to do with my master if I don't let you in?" Mingshi Yin pointed at the barrier. "Are you going to barge in?"
Mingshi Yin acted as though he was going to go back on his word.
Su Sheng was a little annoyed.
Just as he was about to argue with Liu Ge, Liu Ge raised his hand and said, "Fine, I'll come back tomorrow."
The next morning.
Liu Ge, Su Sheng, Gu Yiran, and the Imperial bodyguards appeared at the foot of Golden Court Mountain again.
Just like the last time, Su Sheng projected his voice to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Mingshi Yin arrived as scheduled. He flew down from the Evil Sky Pavilion. He hovered in the air and said, "I'm sorry … Why don't we come back another day?"
This time, he did not beat around the bush.
"Mister Fourth, we agreed to meet today … I don't think it's a good idea to go back on your word," Su Sheng said.
Mingshi Yin spread his hands.
"I didn't say I'd keep my word."
"You …"
This was Su Sheng's first time meeting such a shameless person. Although he was a general on the battlefield and one of the eight great generals, he felt powerless.
At this moment, Liu Ge placed his hands on his back and said,
"When do you think we can meet again, then?"
Mingshi Yin stroked his chin. He gave it some thought and said, "Why don't we … meet a year later?"
"…"
When Mingshi Yin saw Liu Ge's frown, he chuckled and said, "I'm just joking. Let's come back tomorrow."
Liu Ge would not give Mingshi Yin another chance to play tricks on him. Hence, he said, "If the same thing happens tomorrow, what should we do?"
"You look like a reasonable person, unlike him … Tomorrow's matter, of course we'll talk about it tomorrow. Who can say for sure?"
"…"
'What a cunning villain.'
Liu Ge said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you to tell Brother Ji that I'll visit again tomorrow."
Liu Ge did not interrupt the previous two times. This time, he personally spoke.
This meant that Liu Ge would have to go up the mountain again.
"Take care, Your Majesty. I'll relay your message."
Liu Ge and the others turned around and left.
Mingshi Yin sighed and swiftly returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
When he returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion, he went to the hidden chamber and paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
'What should I do? What should I do?'
It was not that he did not come to the hidden chamber to wait for his master to emerge from his secluded cultivation. The problem was, there was no response.
He called out to his master from the hidden chamber again, but there was still no response. He muttered to himself, "I'll have to think of something myself."
He turned around and left.
Currently, the four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion were at most at the Four-leaf stage. Duanmu Sheng, Zhu Honggong, and Zhao Yue had severed their lotuses and were recultivating. In terms of overall strength, it would be difficult to intimidate Liu Ge and the others.
After giving it some thought, Mingshi Yin decided to send word to someone for help.
…
In the afternoon. In the Nether Sect's Ji Province branch.
Hua Chongyang hurried into the great hall.
"Sect Master, the Yu Province branch has received a letter from the Evil Sky Pavilion. The Retired Emperor, Liu Ge, Su Sheng, and Gu Yiran have gone to the Evil Sky Pavilion. I'm afraid they're up to no good. The Evil Sky Pavilion has asked for Eldest Senior Brother to return and hold the fort."
Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya were stunned.
"The Evil Sky Pavilion needs me to hold the fort?" Yu Zhenghai was puzzled.
"Mister Fourth didn't say anything in his letter, but it's clear that things aren't as simple as they seem." Hua Chongyang handed the letter over.
Si Wuya received the letter and read it carefully.
He said, "With master's Nine-leaf cultivation base, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with Liu Ge. Even if master doesn't make a move, there's still the four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
How could this happen? "
Yu Zhenghai said, "Wise brother, is this a trap? Is master going back on his word and trying to trap me?"
Upon hearing this, Si Wuya shook his head. "That's unlikely."
He thought to himself, 'If they wanted to capture you, they would've done it the last time.
Yu Zhenghai's breathing quickened. "That old villain, Liu Ge, isn't dead? Has he reached the Nine-leaf stage as well?"
This was the last thing he wanted to see.
Over the past five months, the Nether Sect had been trying its best to conquer the nine provinces. Currently, they had already conquered Yi Province. Yan Province and the Divine Capital were the only ones left.
There was less than a month left until the meeting with his master.
The cultivation world had reached the age of severing one's lotus and cultivating anew. The Five-leaf elite he saw a few months ago had already shocked him.
If someone had reached the Nine-leaf stage in such a short time, it would be a huge obstacle for the Nether Sect.
"Liu Ge and master are old friends. When master reached the peak, he met him. Liu Ge had once invited master to the Divine Capital to be the Royal Tutor. He would be second only to the emperor. However, master doesn't like to be restrained. Hence, he established the Evil Sky Pavilion on Golden Court Mountain and accepted disciples. "
Si Wuya said, "Based on my calculations, Liu Ge's great limit should be approaching … Therefore, it's not impossible for him to reach the Nine-leaf stage."
"…"
Si Wuya continued to say, "Based on what I know, among the Evil Sky Pavilion's four elders, Leng Luo and Pan Litian are injured. Hua Wudao is a Seven-leaf cultivator … Senior Zuo Yushu, who has just joined the pavilion, is quite capable. However, she's from the Confucian Sect. Su Sheng and Gu Yiran are from the Confucian Sect as well. "
Yu Zhenghai paused for a moment.
Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly.
Si Wuya said, "Eldest Senior Brother … I suggest we reinforce the Evil Sky Pavilion. Naturally, this is only a suggestion … It's up to you whether you want to go or not. "
