Chapter 220 Mo Li and Mo Qi

Slender West Park, where Slender West Lake was located, took up hundreds of acres of land. It seemed exceptionally extravagant. The park was colored in shades of red and yellow. Several pavilions had been erected on the east and west banks. The river was winding and long, making it look slender.

Looking down from above, it was a truly magnificent sight. Leng Luo walked up to Lu Zhou as he surveyed Slender West Park and said, “Slender West Park is the place where the palace’s nobles would come to spend their free time and enjoy themselves. Why is the Clarity Sect’s Mo Qi here?”

Lu Zhou glanced at Leng Luo and said, “You’re the leader of the Black Knights, and you report directly to the Emperor. Don’t tell me you don’t know the reason for this?”

“The Black Knights are only sent to carry out missions. We never interfered with the palace’s matters,” Leng Luo said. Although he had been freed of Mo Li’s control, his memories over the past years were still fresh in his mind.

Lu Zhou recalled there was a powerful witchcraft practitioner onboard the fake Nether Sect’s flying chariot during the battle in Anyang. He asked, “Mo Li and Mo Qi... In your opinion, what’s their relationship?”

Leng Luo answered monotonously, “Based on what I know, Mo Li is a woman. She’s a vixen who’s skilled at seducing men with her appearance and powerful witchcraft.”

If that were not the case, Leng Luo would not have fallen prey to her. Even heroes had a weakness for beautiful women. He might have dominated the lands for years, alas, despite his expectations, he had also fallen prey to her.

A rare smile appeared on Lu Zhou’s face at this moment. He stroked his beard and calmly said, “I remember Mo Qi has a brother. They were separated when they were young. Then, his brother disappeared.”

Leng Luo said nothing. After all, the truth had come to light during the battle with the Ten Shamans.

The piece of information only served as confirmation.

Leng Luo said in a hoarse voice, “Whether it’s a man or a woman, she or he must die.”

Lu Zhou said, “That’s great. I’ll leave Mo Li to you then.”

“Thank you.” Leng Luo cupped his fists.

Pan Litian who was observing this scene at the back was in awe. He was impressed that Lu Zhou was able to make someone like Leng Luo submit to him. He had been thinking about this for a while. His cultivation base was gone, and he had been forced to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. The same thing must have happened to Leng Luo. However, what would Leng Luo do when he completely recovered his cultivation base in the future?”

“Master, we’re here.”

The flying chariot came to a halt and hovered above Slender West Lake.

Little Yuan’er leaped to her feet.

Zhao Yue and the other female cultivators had to keep the flying chariot afloat. Hence, they did not move.

Lu Zhou continued to look down at Slender West Park. Apart from his two disciples, Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuan’er, the rest were just weak old men and weaklings. He was quite certain he would not be able to save his item cards today.

Currently, Lu Zhou only had four Deadly Strike Cards left. He would have to use them sparingly. ‘Dear system, are you deliberately increasing the difficulty so that I won’t be able to rely on the item cards too much?” “There’s a Formation.” Leng Luo swept his gaze across the scenery below and made an accurate judgment.

Duanmu Sheng had the best vantage point. The helm was where every single corner below the flying chariot could be seen. “How do you know that?” To him, it looked like any other scenic location. He saw no traces of Formations.

Leng Luo pointed at the surroundings and said, “These pavilions were built according to the positions of the Eight Trigrams, it’s only slightly elongated... There are clear Primal Qi fluctuations around the park. There’s no one among the Clarity Sect elites who are capable of setting up such a huge Formation. It’s highly likely that it’s a Grand Witchcraft Formation. The Primal Qi fluctuations are only a cover.” “I’ve learned something new today.” Duanmu Sheng cupped his fists.

Although the juniors were talented, their knowledge and experience were still lacking.

Pan Litian leaned on the flying chariot and looked at the Formation. He drank some wine before he said, “This Formation looks complicated. I wonder what kind of Formation it is?”

“You know witchcraft?” Leng Luo turned to look at Pan Litian.

Pan Litian seemed displeased. He said frankly, “If there’s one thing the Clarity Sect has plenty of, it’s tomes about witchcraft... Speaking of witchcraft, there are mind-controlling spells, curses, area control spells, confounding spells... However, regardless of the type of witchcraft, there’s always a way to break them.”

No wonder Pan Zhong knew so much about witchcraft.

With the relationship between Mo Qi, the Sect Master of Clarity Sect, and Mo Li, it was not surprising there was a witchcraft Formation here. However, the Clarity Sect was one of the ten great sects on the Noble Path. The others would not think to connect witchcraft with the Clarity Sect.

Leng Luo asked, “Do you know how to break this spell?” “I don’t.”

Lu Zhou. “...”

Duanmu Sheng. “...

Leng Luo. “...”

‘Then, why did you blabber so much? What a waste of time!’

At this moment, more than ten green-robed cultivators appeared in Slender West Park. They slowly rose into the air.

“Greetings, old senior.”

Lu Zhou ignored them. He glanced at them briefly and discovered there was not even a single Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite among them.

Mo Qi was not bold enough to show himself so he sent a group of cannon fodders out. Duanmu Sheng bellowed, “Bring that old thief, Mo Qi, here!”

“Uh...” The cultivators trembled. Color drained from their faces, and their foreheads broke out in sweat.

“What brings you here to Slender West Park?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. Mo Qi knew better than anyone why the Evil Sky Pavilion was here. Although Clarity Sect was in a wretched state, it was bold enough to send small fries here to blabber meaninglessly to stall for time. He waved his hand dismissively, “Clean them up.”

“Yes, master!” Little Yuan’er was the only one who could instantly leap into action. Her movements were as light as a swallow as she unleashed the Supreme Purity Jade Slip and the Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps.

Several blue figures shot through the air.

Meanwhile, Little Yuan’er’s Nirvana Sash lashed out as well.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The dozen or so cultivators could not even withstand a single hit as they scattered and reeled back. They spat out mouthfuls of blood into the air that looked like a blood mist. One after another, the cultivators fell into the lake.

Leng Luo. “...”

Pan Litian. “...”

As expected of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Even Leng Luo was shocked by this swift and decisive action.

Lu Zhou had no sympathy for the Clarity Sect. Mo Qi had repeatedly caused trouble for the Evil Sky Pavilion, He colluded with Mo Li and stabbed them in the back several times. This was only the beginning. It was unfortunate that these cultivators were only in the Brahman Sea realm, at most. They did not offer him any merit points. What a troll! Why can’t a high-level player be rewarded for completing a newbie’s task?

Lu Zhou shook the distracting thoughts out of his head. ‘I’m letting my mind wander again.’

Little Yuan’er returned to the flying chariot. “Master, mission accomplished.”

Lu Zhou nodded. He swept his gaze across Slender West Park and said in a deep voice, “Mo Qi...”

The two syllables sounded like two claps of thunder. Lu Zhou’s voice was firm and domineering. His voice traveled in the surroundings as well. The soundwave visibly spread out in all directions, covering the entire Slender West Park.

Upon seeing this, Leng Luo could not help but praise, “I’m impressed.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. Anyone in the Divine Court realm can do this.”

Leng Luo said, “However, without several centuries of practice, how can a cultivator exert such precise control over the sound technique and send it to every corner of the place? Even a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite couldn’t have done this.”

Pan Litian said, “I agree with you... Cultivation base is important, but skills are equally as important and cant be solely replaced by cultivation base alone.”

Perhaps, it was due to their statuses, Duan Ling Tian was pleased when he heard their words. It sounded much better than the flattering words he was used to hearing.

The others continued to look down at Slender West Park.

The soundwave caused the Clarity Sect disciples to lose their footing.

Mo Qi hid inside the room, too afraid to go out. However, it did not stop him from replying, “Ji Tiandao!” He unleashed a soundwave as well, it left distortion in the void in its wake.

Pan Litian frowned and cursed, “This ignorant old fool.”

Leng Luo was in a better condition. He did not seem affected.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou’s mind was clear, and he was as calm as usual.

Duanmu Sheng volunteered, “Master... this old geezer is asking for it. I’m willing to be the vanguard. I’ll dig that old man out even if I have to dig three feet deep!”

Lu Zhou raised a hand and said, “There’s no need for that.”

Since Slender West Park was protected by a massive Formation, sending Duanmu Sheng down there would be a reckless move.

At this moment, another voice rang from the park. “The Evil Sky Pavilion is an insufferable bully! I’d be damned if I don’t get back at you for this!”

“Running away?”
