Yu Zhenghai stood with his hands on his back. When he saw the blood at the corner of Zhu Xuan's mouth, he turned to look at Yu Shangrong as though he was waiting for Yu Shangrong's opinion.
The Thousand Willow Monastery Master, Xia Changqiu, was shocked by the Ninth Temple's sudden change in attitude. Everyone knew how the Ninth Temple operated. Zhu Xuan's strength had already been demonstrated. His purpose of coming here was to avenge Kong Lu. The Ninth Temple's change of heart had exceeded the Thousand Willow Monastery's expectations.
Ji Fengxing immediately shouted, "You can't go!"
Although he was wary of the Ninth Temple's might and was afraid of going against such an expert, this matter concerned Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai's safety. He could not sit idly by.
Zhu Xuan looked at Ji Fengxing. He understood what Ji Fengxing meant.
"Gentlemen, if I wanted to harm you, I could choose to leave right now. When he stabilizes his Nine-leaf stage, he'll come for revenge. Why would he invite you? "
That made sense.
However, he still said, "I'll go alone. Stay here, Second Junior Brother."
Yu Shangrong frowned. He looked at Zhu Xuan and said, "I'll go with you. Eldest Senior Brother, stay behind."
When Yu Zhenghai spoke, he understood what Yu Zhenghai meant.
Initially, the two of them had planned to stay in the Thousand Willow Monastery and deal with whatever came their way. All they had to do was flee.
The unexpected incident in the Ninth Temple changed their minds as well. If he did not go to the Ninth Temple, he would surely attract more trouble. Based on Xia Changqiu and Ji Fengxing's attitude, it was clear that the Ninth Temple was different from the Flying Star House.
Xia Changqiu clutched his chest and sighed with his head lowered.
When Zhu Xuan saw the others could not make up their minds, he said, "I heard that the Thousand Willow Monastery and the Flying Star House aren't on good terms … The Flying Star House has always been on good terms with the Sky Martial Court. They're working together to monopolize the Black Water Mystic Cave and the Endless Ocean. The Flying Star House had always been vengeful. Xia Changqiu, am I right? "
He called Xia Changqiu by his name.
His attitude toward Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai was completely different.
Xia Changqiu nodded and said, "Indeed."
Zhu Xuan continued to say, "These two friends are esteemed guests of the Thousand Willow Monastery and the Ninth Temple … Does the Flying Star House still dare to question them?"
Xia Changqiu's eyes lit up.
There was nothing wrong with Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai's attitude.
Yes or no, it was all up to the two of them.
Yu Zhenghai raised his voice and said, "It's decided …"
Yu Shangrong was about to speak again.
He straightened his back and placed his hands on his back as he said, "There's no need for more words. After so many years, I have never used my status to suppress you. However, as the Evil Sky Pavilion's Eldest Senior Brother, I'm ordering you to stay. "
Yu Shangrong's brows were tightly knitted together.
More than three hundred years had passed, and the two of them had always been competing in the dark. They had even openly fought against each other in the Radiant Cloud Forest. Until now, there had not been a single time where a true victor had been decided.
There was an order of seniority.
Indeed, Yu Zhenghai had never used his status as the Eldest Senior Brother to suppress Yu Shangrong.
This was the only time.
Yu Shangrong said no more.
Zhu Xuan nodded calmly and extended a hand. "Please …"
Yu Zhenghai flew ahead.
Before Zhu Xuan parted, he glanced at Yu Shangrong. He cupped his fists together and said, "We'll meet again."
After saying that, he left on the white crane.
Before long, the two of them disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Ji Fengxing flew over and said worriedly, "Big brother, I'm worried that the Ninth Temple's cooperation is just an act.
Wuwu walked over.
When she saw Yu Shangrong's indifferent expression and the tense atmosphere, she said, "Big brother, are you injured? Do you want me to heal you?"
As she spoke, she raised her palms.
A red sphere of energy appeared. She tossed it out.
The red sphere landed on Yu Shangrong's body and vanished into specks of starlight.
Yu Shangrong finally said, "I'm fine …"
Xia Changqiu sighed.
"The two of you are in trouble at the Thousand Willow Monastery, but the monastery can't help you …"
Wuwu blinked and said, "What about him?"
Yu Shangrong looked in the direction Yu Zhenghai had left. His tone was indifferent as he said, "If the Ninth Temple dares to touch him, I'll bathe the Ninth Temple in blood."
Xia Changqiu, Tian Buji, Ji Fengxing, and Wuwu were speechless.
The hearts of all the disciples shook, and they shuddered.
Yu Shangrong leaped and flew down.
…
Meanwhile.
Zhu Xuan had gotten off the white crane. Just like Yu Zhenghai, he was walking on air.
Although his speed was not as fast as the white crane, he was not slow either.
Zhu Xuan glanced at the Jasper Saber on Yu Zhenghai's waist. "May I know your name, sir?"
"Yu Zhenghai," Yu Zhenghai replied.
"I've seen countless weapons in my life. Heaven, earth, mystic, yellow, universe, desolate … Heaven-grade weapons are rare, and desolate-grade weapons are few and far between. Is your saber desolate-grade? "Zhu Xuan asked.
"It's a gift from my master. It's only a weapon that suits me. Your Square Box isn't bad as well, "Yu Zhenghai said.
"The Square Box's damage is far inferior to a saber or sword … I'm at a disadvantage in today's battle."
However, based on the comparison between the Square Box and the Jasper Saber, Zhu Xuan did not have the upper hand.
"I was just lucky." Yu Zhenghai would not lose himself just because of flattery.
"I have two questions … I wonder if it's convenient."
Yu Zhenghai looked at the setting sun and said, "It's not really a question. If I can answer them, I'll answer them."
"Are the two of you really from the golden lotus domain?" Zhu Xuan asked.
"Naturally."
There was nothing to hide. He had even used his avatar in battle. It was not his style to lie through his teeth.
Zhu Xuan praised, "I didn't expect the Sky Martial Court's lunatic's prophecy to come true."
"Lunatic?"
Zhu Xuan said slowly, "A lunatic who likes to study the Otherworld. She thinks there's another world on the other side of the Endless Ocean."
"The Ninth Temple is powerful, but it can't take down the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House?" Yu Zhenghai sped up.
"You've underestimated them … The Sky Martial Court is under the Great Tang Dynasty. They have many elites." After Zhu Xuan finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Is the Evil Sky Pavilion powerful?"
Based on the duo's attitude, Zhu Xuan could tell the Evil Sky Pavilion's strength was not to be underestimated.
Yu Zhenghai laughed heartily. "If the Evil Sky Pavilion is here, why should we fear the Sky Martial Court?"
Yu Zhenghai was cautious. He did not reveal too much about the Evil Sky Pavilion.
His words were enough.
Zhu Xuan's expression remained the same, but he was inwardly shocked that the Evil Sky Pavilion was capable of contending with the Sky Martial Court.
"It must've been difficult for the two of you to come all the way here … What brings you to the red lotus domain?"
This was one of the questions he was most concerned about.
Yu Zhenghai said, "Would you believe me if I told you that I entered the red lotus domain by mistake?"
He was saying this from Yu Shangrong's perspective. Yu Shangrong had indeed entered the red lotus domain by mistake. However, it was difficult to believe him.
However, Zhu Xuan said, "I believe you."
Yu Zhenghai nodded.
Zhu Xuan asked tentatively, "Is your master in the red lotus domain as well?"
Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said, "He's focused on cultivation and rarely interferes with the affairs of the world. However, it's hard to say if things get out of hand. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan thought to himself, 'A master capable of handling these two must be at the Nine-leaf stage or above. Fortunately, I didn't kill them earlier. If the life stone is extinguished, it would surely bring trouble upon us. At that time, the Ninth Temple would have unwittingly made another powerful enemy.'
…
In the golden lotus domain. In a dense forest halfway up Golden Court Mountain in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
In the dense forest, there was a faint starlight.
The purest Primal Qi in the surroundings rose from the plants and merged with the Primal Qi in the air before it gathered in a pile of weeds.
After the Primal Qi was gathered.
A sound of realization rang from the pile of weeds.
"No! It takes 1,200 years to reach the Nine-leaf stage, and Shu Si only has 800 years. I have to spend 400 years here? How old am I? If I reach the Nine-leaf stage, won't I be old? I'm so handsome and dashing … "
