If it was anything else, Lu Zhou could have ordered Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong to do it. Currently, the two of them were already at the Nine-leaf stage. Even in the red lotus domain, their cultivation bases were considered outstanding. However, it was still not enough to share the stage with someone like Sikong Beichen.
He did not know the strength of the Flying Star House's Master, but Ye Zhen's cultivation base should be on par with Fa Kong's.
If it were a one-on-one battle, Lu Zhou was confident he could deal with the Flying Star House. The problem was, the Flying Star House would not fight him one-on-one.
At this time, the drawback of Critical Strike appeared.
The Heavenly Writing scrolls' extraordinary power could help him defeat his peers, but it would be difficult for him to defeat a Ten-leaf cultivator. This was not a battle between low-level cultivators. It would be difficult to make up for the difference of a single leaf with other methods. Even so, he still had to consider what would happen after he used up his extraordinary power.
How many Nine-leaf cultivators were there in the red lotus domain? How many Ten-leaf cultivators were there?
Most importantly, it was the Ninth Temple's stand.
The hearts of men were unpredictable. The Evil Sky Pavilion had been besieged several times in the past. It was not impossible for something like this to happen in the red lotus domain.
"Sikong Beichen sure is arrogant," Lu Zhou said indifferently.
Xia Changqiu was slightly puzzled. However, he quickly understood Lu Zhou's meaning. He hastily said, "You're right, Senior Lu. They should come to you."
There was a difference in status, and there was no such thing as a superior person running over to meet a inferior person.
Sikong Beichen had always been in a high position. He was used to people greeting him, so he had forgotten about this small detail.
Lu Zhou suddenly remembered something. He rose to his feet and walked out. He opened the door and saw Xia Changqiu standing respectfully in the courtyard. He asked, "How's the Flying Star House's strength?"
If it was weak, he could find an opportunity to take it down and take back the Memory Crystal.
It was not enough to rely solely on the Nine-leaf stage. He had to accumulate more merit points.
If he only used item cards, it would be a loss …
Xia Changqiu replied, "Currently, the strongest members of the Flying Star House are Ye Zhen and the house master, Chen Tiandu. Chen Tiandu rarely asked about the affairs of the Flying Star House. Under normal circumstances, Ten-leaf cultivators wouldn't simply make a move. "
Unfortunately, many things were not normal.
"In that case, the Flying Star House's overall strength is inferior to the Ninth Temple. What gives them the confidence to attack the Ninth Temple?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"Hall Master Sikong is already advanced in age, and his body is not as good as it used to be. Many of the tasks were handled by the nine First Seats. After four of the nine First Seats passed away, the Ninth Temple's strength declined. On the surface, the Ninth Temple seemed stronger. However, in truth, the Ninth Temple could not gain the upper hand over the Flying Star House. Ye Zhen was known as the red lotus domain's peerless prodigy. In less than 800 years, he had reached the Nine-leaf stage and mastered the karmic fire. He's also said to be the cultivator with the highest chance of attaining the Ten-leaf stage. Moreover, he's well-read and knowledgeable. He has the talent to rule the world, "Xia Changqiu said.
Lu Zhou had no choice but to admit that he was being boastful.
The last sentence gave him a headache.
"You're dismissed. Send word to Sikong Beichen that I'm busy." Lu Zhou returned to his room.
Xia Changqiu bowed.
…
Flying Star House on Lofty Steep Mountain.
Ye Zhen stood outside the courtyard and looked down at the mountains and rivers. The sun was high in the sky.
At the side, Meng Changdong said, "Is it Elder Ye Zhen's idea for the house master to go to the Ninth Temple?"
Ye Zhen did not look at him. His expression was calm. "Do you have a problem with that?"
Meng Changdong said, "I have no objections to going to the Ninth Temple, but don't you think it's a little unreasonable to attack the Thousand Willow Monastery?"
Ye Zhen said,
"The Sky Martial Court has given the go-ahead for the attack. If we don't destroy the Thousand Willow Monastery, the prestige the Flying Star House has built up over the years will be destroyed. If we don't destroy the Thousand Willow Monastery, Lu Song, Xuan Ming, Liang Zidao, and the other disciples will die in vain. How will the Flying Star House recruit more disciples in the future? "
Ye Zhen's tone was calm when he spoke.
"Are you planning to lead the team yourself, Elder Ye?" Meng Changdong asked, puzzled.
Ye Zhen shook his head and said, "I'll be heading to the Ninth Temple with the house master."
"It's said that the Thousand Willow Monastery has a golden lotus expert in hiding. Now that they're colluding with the Ninth Temple, how are we supposed to attack them if you and the house master don't lead the team?"
"You'll lead the team."
"…" Meng Changdong was shocked.
"Are you unwilling, Elder Meng?" Ye Zhen turned to look at Meng Changdong.
"Since I'm an elder of the Thousand Willow Monastery, it's only natural for me to lead the team. Don't worry, Elder Ye. "
"Alright."
Ye Zhen looked ahead again and said calmly, "You don't have to worry about the house master and I keeping the Ninth Temple busy. Also, the Sky Martial Court has formed an alliance with the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain. We'll send 1,000 cultivators in the Divine Court realm and above. The elite of the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain, Xie Xuan, will lend you a hand as well. "
"Thank you, Elder Ye."
Although he thanked Ye Zhen, a hint of melancholy could be seen on his face.
Divine Court realm cultivators were useless.
Xie Xuan was the only one who was still alive. UU Book Vault
Ye Zhen turned around slowly and walked toward the dojo. He said, "Elder Meng, don't forget that it's three days from now."
"I'll make the necessary preparations," Meng Changdong said.
After Meng Changdong left …
A Confucian scholar walked up to Ye Zhen. He bowed and asked, "Should we keep an eye on him?"
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "There's no need for that."
"You know that Meng Changdong is a passive person. Why do you want him to lead the team to attack the Thousand Willow Monastery?"
"There are only two outcomes to attacking the Thousand Willow Monastery. One, it'll be a success. It'll only benefit the Flying Star House. Two, if it fails, the house master won't spare him."
"You're wise, Elder Ye."
Ye Zhen pointed at a piece of paper and said, "Send this paper to the Sky Martial Court. Let them study it together. "
"Understood."
The Confucian scholar bowed. Then, he looked up and said, "The Sky Martial Court's Sky Chariot is a success. It can cross the Endless Ocean, and the time it takes to cross is reduced by more than half. Should we send someone over? "
"The golden lotus domain has already invaded the red lotus domain. There's no need for us to get involved," Ye Zhen said.
"Understood. I'll see to it right away."
The Confucian scholar picked up the piece of paper and looked at the messy runes on it. He could not understand them. Then, he shoved it into his pocket and flew away. …
…
Three days later, in the morning.
A small flying chariot left Lofty Steep Mountain under the guidance of a red bird and vanished among the clouds.
At the same time, Meng Changdong and more than a thousand cultivators were flying toward the Thousand Willow Mountain's other peak that was much shorter than the other peak of the Lofty Steep Mountain.
Half a day later.
In the Ninth Temple.
A disciple bowed and said, "Grand Elder, the Flying Star House's Ye Zhen is here."
Zhu Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Ye Zhen? What's he doing here? The Ninth Temple and the Flying Star House have never been on good terms. Tell him that the five First Seats are cultivating in seclusion and that they'll meet another day. "
"But … I think the Flying Star House's Master is here as well."
"Chen Tiandu?" Zhu Xuan was shocked. "Inform the five First Seats."
"Understood."
The disciple had just left the room when a deep voice rang from the distant horizon.
"The Flying Star House's Ye Zhen requests an audience with Senior Sikong."
The voice was deep and sonorous. The powerful sound technique traveled through the mountain range and forest. The Mystery Palace's Zhang Shaoqing did not leave since he was grounded. In the Peace Palace, Yao Qingquan could hear the voice the clearest. The other areas were all blocked by powerful array formation Dao patterns.
Yao Qingquan opened his eyes and flew out of the palace. He climbed higher and looked at the horizon.
He saw a red bird and a flying chariot in the distance.
The red bird was not huge, but only the Flying Star House's Master used a red bird to pull a chariot in the red lotus domain.
"The Flying Star House's Chen Tiandu's chariot?" Yao Qingquan frowned deeply.
Chen Beizheng was easy to deal with. After all, the people of the Flying Star House followed the rules.
However, the Flying Star House did not have that many rules. In recent years, they had destroyed many small sects and killed the Black Water Mystic Cave's luan.
He found this strange.
"There are only a handful of Ten-leaf cultivators under the heavens. They don't care about worldly affairs anymore. What's he doing here?"
In the red lotus domain, those who had reached the Ten-leaf stage were all extremely old.
At this moment, the other three First Seats flew over and gathered.
"The Flying Star House's Ye Zhen requests an audience with Senior Sikong."
Another voice rang in the air. This time, it was even more penetrating than before.
The Peace Palace's Zhao Jianghe said angrily, "Ye Zhen is here to flaunt his strength."
"How dare he? Let's ignore him for now. Why isn't Old Senior Lu here yet? "
Challenging someone with a sound technique was provocative and disrespectful, to begin with.
"Senior Lu's letter was sent to the Holy Palace by a maidservant. I wonder what he said."
"I hope Senior Lu will come soon and put the Flying Star House down a peg."
