Conch focused.
Everyone else was looking at her, hoping that she would succeed.
The flute's notes were getting more and more impatient.
Perhaps, due to the shift in focus, the notes were not as coordinated.
Just when everyone thought Conch was about to fail, there was a buzzing sound.
Energy seals appeared in the air. Her Primal Qi had turned into energy!
"That's amazing, Little Junior Sister!" Mingshi Yin looked up at the energy in the air.
Music was different from the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist sects. There were no special symbols, script seals, or Formation veins. Therefore, the energy seals formed by music were like the wind. They were slow like willow catkins, but when they were fast, they were like a storm.
The others exclaimed in shock.
They were shocked by Conch's shocking talent and comprehension skills.
She usually improved by experimenting on her own.
However, under her master's guidance, she was able to form energy so quickly.
The energy that flowed in the air scattered like willow catkins.
Although it prioritized speed, it was not as lethal as the wind blades. However, it was shocking enough that she was able to do this.
"How can we live like this?"
"I'm convinced. I'm willing to call Miss Tenth the most talented person in the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Even Little Yuan 'er, who was once the most powerful person, was shocked when she saw this.
She did not show any jealousy. Instead, she clapped her hands and said, "Little Junior Sister, you can do it! You can do it, Little Junior Sister! "
With Little Yuan 'er's encouragement …
Conch's enthusiasm was ignited.
She did not stop. Instead, she increased the flow of Primal Qi.
The Brahman Sea Realm opened all eight meridians, and Primal Qi surged, spreading out in all directions.
The flute's notes suddenly grew louder and sounded like a clap of thunder.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The others were shocked. They hastily activated their protective energy. They blocked the sound energy from their surroundings.
Bam! Bam!
Bam! Everyone was shocked. Lu Zhou was the only one who frowned.
This was because he saw a faint red energy amidst the surging energy.
In other words, Conch had formed red energy.
Red energy was extremely rare in the cultivation world. It was commonly believed that the color would only change when one cultivated some evil art or when their cultivation method underwent a mutation. The Fiend Zen turned the energy seal black. The barrier came from the heavens and earth and was blue in nature. The healing came from nature and was usually green. Apart from these, there were no other colors of energy in Great Yan's cultivation world.
This was the first time they saw red energy.
"Stop."
Lu Zhou placed his hand on the Lantian Jade Flute and pressed it lightly.
Everything stopped abruptly.
Lu Zhou did not want too many people to know about the red energy before he could manifest it.
The east pavilion fell silent. Ji Liang returned to the forest of Golden Court Mountain and disappeared.
"Master?" Conch looked up.
The others wanted to see how much potential Conch had. This sudden interruption puzzled them.
Why did the disciple assessment suddenly stop?
Lu Zhou said.
"That's all for today's test … Don't tell anyone about Conch. I won't forgive anyone who violates this rule."
The group immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and they bowed at the same time.
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
"Yes, Master."
What do geniuses fear the most? It was to be strangled in the cradle before he was fully fledged.
The Pavilion Master was indeed the Pavilion Master. He was so thoughtful and admirable.
Little did they know that Lu Zhou did not want others to know about Hong Gang.
After the assessment, everyone dispersed.
Lu Zhou returned to the eastern pavilion and pondered about Conch.
In the evening.
Lu Zhou looked at High Void before him. He felt a headache coming on.
The person in the coffin, the red lotus, the diary, and the Luo woman were all related to the Nine-leaf stage. These clues pointed to 'don't reach the Nine-leaf stage'.
He could still get others to investigate these clues.
However, who could investigate Conch's red energy?
"Red lotus, red energy … Is there really someone who cultivates red energy and forms a red lotus in this world?
Did Conch and the person in the coffin come from the same place? "
…
Inside the Evergreen Palace in the Imperial city of the Divine Capital.
The study was heavily guarded.
As usual, the attendant stood outside the study.
"Your Majesty, there's a result," the attendant said without much confidence.
"Come in."
When the door opened, the attendant felt a peculiar wave of heat wash over him. He nearly choked and coughed.
Liu Gu was still sitting cross-legged.
His body was steaming.
The attendant did not dare to look at the Emperor. He hastily lowered his head and kneeled respectfully.
"The Retired Emperor brought Su Sheng and Gu Yiran to the Evil Sky Pavilion. It's confirmed that they died in battle."
After saying this …
The attendant prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to move.
After a while, Liu Gu opened his eyes … There was no anger, no anger. Instead, he said calmly, "Got it."
The attendant could not understand.
In the end, they were still father and son. The death of the emperor emeritus was such a big thing, but His Majesty was actually indifferent!?
He could only think about these questions in his heart. How could he dare to say them out loud?
"Your Majesty, the civil and military officials have jointly requested for a beating. Currently, the Nether Sect only has Yan Province and Ji Province left. It won't be long before they surround the Divine Capital. The ministers wish to invite His Majesty to the court to discuss countermeasures. "
Hearing this, Liu Gu said indifferently,
"Do I still need to discuss things with a bunch of trash? Pass down my orders. Order the Crown Prince to lead the expedition. He can choose one of the eight great commanders. Order Wei Zhuoyan to give up on defending the borders and attack Liang Province instead. Order the Imperial Guards in the Divine Capital to be on high alert. No one else is allowed in the Imperial City. If they are discovered, kill them without mercy. "
The attendant shuddered and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly replied, "As you command."
The inner attendant got up and respectfully left the study.
At this moment, Liu Gu opened his eyes.
He flipped his palm.
Whizz!
An avatar appeared above his palm. There was no Golden Lotus. There were only seven leaves that spun around the avatar.
The seven leaves were bright and full.
Liu Gu clenched his fist.
Liu Gu nodded in satisfaction. "I've returned to the Eight-leaf stage, and the Nine-leaf stage is near … Why should I fear the Nether Sect and the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
He raised his hand. The Magistrate Brush hovered above the table. Initially, Si Wuya thought it was white. However, the red tip of the brush was blindingly bright under the surging Primal Qi.
The brush fell into the ink and turned black.
…
Inside the General's Mansion in Yu Province.
Hua Chongyang walked in with a report.
"Sect master, Mister Seventh, we've found out … The garrison general of Yan Province's main city is Ma Luping. The Imperial guards' eight great commanders, the southeastern gate's general … "
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenghai laughed. "As expected, the Imperial family has no other choice. Wise brother, surrounding the Divine Capital is a brilliant plan!"
Si Wuya said, "The Imperial family has no other choice.
If they don't send men to defend the city, they'll only hasten their deaths. It's good that they do. Without the eight great commanders, the Imperial city is nothing. "
Hua Chongyang chimed in.
"You have a point, Mister Seventh. Currently, the eight great commanders, Han Yuyuan, Xiang Lie, Gu Yiran, Wen Shu, and Su Sheng, are all dead. Ji Qingqing, who replaced Han Yuyuan, is nowhere to be found. Now, only Wang Yue, Xuan Jingyun, and Ma Luping are left. "
"Escaped?" Si Wuya frowned.
He had always thought differently from Yu Zhenghai. Instead, he paid attention to these insignificant details.
"Ji Qingqing is the only female general among the eight great commanders. I heard she's on the mysterious elite's hit list. That's why she fled in fear."
Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya remembered the night they attacked Yu Province with the flying chariot.
"That mysterious elite is only a Five-leaf cultivator … How could he do anything to Ji Qingqing?" Yu Zhenghai asked.
"I don't know."
"Wise brother, could this mysterious elite be a trap set up by the Imperial family?"
"That's unlikely. This elite comes and goes without a trace … He doesn't seem like a Five-leaf cultivator. Perhaps, he intentionally lowered his avatar's rank that night," Si Wuya said.
Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly.
He remembered Mingshi Yin's words. 'Yu Shangrong is in Yu Province. If it's really him, then … why is he helping me? Old Second, oh, Old Second, my mortal enemy, would help me? Impossible! '
At this moment, a Nether Sect disciple rushed in from outside the mansion. He hastily said, "Sect Master, Mister Seventh, this is bad. The Formation of Yan Province's main city has been activated. The entire city is sealed!"
"What's the reason?" Si Wuya asked.
"Arrest! It's said that … they've found the mysterious elite! "
