Chapter 805: Joining the Golden Lotus
Lu Zhou glanced at Mo Buyan briefly before he looked away. Then, he rose to his feet and walked out of the hall with his hands on his back as he said, “Nie Qingyun.”
Nie Qingyun started slightly; he felt uneasy.
“Do I have to do it myself?” Lu Zhou asked.
“...” Nie Qingyun was speechless. ‘This Senior Lu is hell-bent on sealing our fates together.’
If Cloud Mountain were to harm the people of the Sky Martial Court, they would thoroughly offend the Sky Martial Court and the royal court to the point of no return.
Mo Buyan hurried after Lu Zhou out of the hall. He moved to stand in front of Lu Zhou before he said, “Senior Lu! Just tell what you want. Why do you have to kill?”
Lu Zhou looked at Mo Buyan. After a mont of silence, he asked, “How’s your cultivation base?”
Mo Buyan replied, “I’m not a talented cultivator. I’m at the middle to the late phase of the Nine-leaf stage.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Even Sikong Beichen and Nie Qingyun daren’t speak to like this... You’re just a re Nine-leaf cultivator. How presumptuous!” As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand that was glowing blue.
The power of past lives.
He channeled about one-fifth of his extraordinary power into this attack before he pushed it toward Mo Buyan.
Mo Buyan frowned as he raised his palms in an attempt to block the attack. Alas, his protective energy was easily destroyed.
Bam!
Mo Buyan was sent flying back as soon as Lu Zhou’s palm seal landed on him. This much was expected. He flew out of the hall into the plaza. He crashed onto the ground and slid about ten ters back before he finally ca to a stop.
Sikong Beichen and Nie Qingyun were rendered speechless, and their hearts raced wildly. They were aware they could not effortlessly defeat a late Nine-stage elite like Lu Zhou just did. Moreover, Mo Buyan was talented and experienced; he was unlike young cultivators who had just reached the Nine-leaf stage. He was widely acknowledged as a genius cultivator and had great potential to reach the Ten-leaf stage. Yet, before Lu Zhou, he was completely defenseless.
“Elder Mo!”
More than ten Sky Martial Court disciples who followed Mo Buyan here imdiately ran toward him to help him up.
Mo Buyan rose to his feet with great difficulty. Finally, when the pain from the strike was too much for him to bear, he grunted before blood trickled out from the corner of his lips.
The drop of blood dripped onto the ground, staining it red.
Mo Buyan’s arms felt numb, and his fingers could not stop trembling. Even his legs felt weak. If it were not for his disciples’ support, he would have fallen back to the ground.
In a fight between elites, all it took was a move to discern the opponent’s strength. With just one exchange, the difference between the strength would be clear.
Mo Buyan took a long ti to recover from the impact. This palm strike made him understand what standing on equal ground ant. An elder was only an elder, and a Nine-leaf cultivator was only a Nine-leaf cultivator; he did not have the right to act so impudently in front of a Ten-leaf cultivator.
After a while, Mo Buyan finally moved his hand slightly, gesturing to the disciples at his side to move back. He cald himself down as he tidied his clothes before he cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou and said, “I’ll be sure to convey your ssage to the court master.”
Lu Zhou did not reply.
Mo Buyan looked to the sides and said, “Gather our things. We’re leaving.”
At this mont, Yu Zhenghai said, “Leave your things here.”
Mo Buyan’s eyelid twitched. He was about to object before he decided to swallow the words at the tip of his tongue. Instead, he said, “These are eting gifts to begin with. I’m more than happy to give them to Senior Lu if he’s willing to accept them. Let’s go.”
When the people from the Sky Martial Court were boarding the flying chariot, Little Yuan’er brought Conch to the entrance of the hall before she pointed at the flying chariot and said, “See that? You must use force to put people in their place. If you et people like him in the future, just hit them with all your might. Many will tell you that violence is not the solution, but as your senior sister, let tell you that violence and force is the most effective thod to solve problems
“Mhm. I’ll rember your words, Ninth Senior Sister.” Conch nodded.
The others were speechless.
Lu Zhou frowned as he looked at the two girls.
One was bold enough to teach, and the other was bold enough to learn.
‘Should I separate them?’
anwhile, ng Changdong was going through the contents of the boxes. After a while, he said, “Senior Lu, these are extrely high-quality talismans. They’re already inscribed with runes so they can be used as is.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “They’re good items, but we must figure out a way to communicate with the other side.”
ng Changdong said, “Based on what we saw last ti, I’m convinced the people from the Sky Martial Court placed the Formation on the Sky Chariot. The Sky Chariot was high so I don’t think it was destroyed. If the Formation veins are still intact, we’ll be able to see them. However, if they don’t have talismans, they might not be able to see us.”
Yu Zhenghai said, “What are you waiting for? Let’s give it a try.”
ng Changdong nodded and took out the talismans from the boxes. These high-quality talismans were much more superior compared to ordinary talismans.
As ng Changdong drew the Formation, he said, “In the Sky Martial Court, they would usually prepare Formation flags and canvases beforehand. That way, they can save a lot of ti. They can just spread the Formation canvas on the floor and activate it. There’s no need to inscribe anything.”
Yu Zhenghai nodded before he said to Lu Zhou, “Master, your foresight amazes . You’re right to recruit this guardian.”
After the Formation was completed, ng Changdong brought the talismans out before he lit them up.
One high-quality talisman would release dozens of rune seals after it was burned. All ng Changdong needed to do was to burn more than ten talismans to activate the Formation.
Soon enough, the rune seals ford images in the air that broadcasted what was happening back in the golden lotus domain.
...
A group of people with curious expressions on their faces could be seen in the images.
“Seventh Junior Brother, is this the junk that crossed the Endless Ocean?”
“Fourth Senior Brother, this isn’t a piece of junk. I’ve studied it for three days. If the people from the red lotus domain created this, they definitely didn’t do it alone.”
“Didn’t you develop the Water Shuttle?”
“The speed and capacity of the Water Shuttle is a far cry from that of the Sky Shuttle...”
At this mont, Zhu Honggong walked closer to Mingshi Yin and Si Wuya. He said with a bored expression on his face, “Is the red lotus domain so powerful?”
“Currently, we don’t know much about the red lotus domain. However, I have a feeling they’re much more powerful than us,” Si Wuya said.
“We’re dood, then. Master and our junior sisters went over there without much thought. I’m sure they’ve been beaten up until their heads swelled like pig heads,” Zhu Honggong said.
...
“???”
At this mont, Little Yuan’er pointed at Zhu Honggong and cried out, “Master, Eighth Senior Brother is bad-mouthing you again!”
Lu Zhou was expressionless as always. ‘That rascal.’
Three days without a beating, and a child would scale the roof to rip the tiles; two days without a whipping, and the skin and flesh would turn sour.
ng Changdong added another talisman to maintain the broadcast.
...
At this mont, a 150-foot avatar appeared in the distance.
The golden avatar towered proudly above its surroundings as the Coiling Dragon Staff circled it and shone with dazzling brilliance.
The others rely glanced at it once before turning their attention back to the Sky Chariot as though they had seen nothing.
...
Yao Qingquan was dumbstruck. ‘How can they treat a Nine-leaf avatar as though it’s nothing?’
“Miss Ninth, that is... Who are they?” Yao Qingquan asked humbly.
“That’s the Evil Sky Pavilion... That fat, big-eared one is my Eighth Senior Brother. The one who looks like a villain and is stroking his chin is my Fourth Senior Brother. That’s my Seventh Senior Brother. The avatar belongs to Elder Zuo. Judging by their reactions, I think Elder Zuo must have reached the Nine-leaf stage for quite so ti now, and they’ve gotten sick of looking at her avatar,” Little Yuan’er explained.
“...”
The others had to admit that Little Yuan’er’s words made sense. Indeed, no one paid attention to Zuo Yushu’s Nine-leaf avatar.
...
At this mont, Si Wuya suddenly turned and said, “The Formation veins are glowing. Bring so talismans!”
...
ng Changdong was shocked. He added another talisman as he said, “He knows what the Formation is used for?!”
“That’s my Seventh Senior Brother. You might think I’m bragging, but even if everyone in the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House put their heads together, they still won’t be as smart as my Seventh Senior Brother,” Little Yuan’er said with her hands on her hips.
Soone coughed awkwardly.
‘That’s too much, little girl.’
Lu Zhou said, “This disciple of mine loves to solve difficult riddles. He’s similar to the Sky Martial Court’s Luo Xuan.”
ng Changdong took Lu Zhou’s words in stride and said, “I didn’t expect there to be such a talent in the Evil Sky Pavilion. I’m impressed!”
...
Si Wuya burned the talismans.
The rune seals descended on the Formation on the Sky Chariot before images began to appear in the air.
Mingshi Yin, Si Wuya, Zhu Honggong, Zhou Jifeng, Pan Zhong, and several female cultivators gathered around.
“Ma...master?” Mingshi Yin exclaid in shock.
Si Wuya was overjoyed. “It’s just as I suspected! This is a ans to communicate! Greetings, master!”
Mingshi Yin fell to his knees. “Greetings, master.”
The others followed suit and greeted Lu Zhou as well. “Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
The elders, Duanmu Sheng, and Ye Tianxin were not present.
Zhu Honggong was the only one left standing, clearly dumbstruck. When he regained his senses, he hurriedly fell to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground. “M-master... have rcy!”
