Chapter 364 The Attitude of a Great Sect

The surging power caught Pan Litian’s attention as well. He turned to look. He was not young and inexperienced like Jiang Aijian. His experience, knowledge, and insights were superior to Jiang Aijian. While he could not understand what caused the disturbances in the eastern pavilion, he did not doubt his own judgments about the surge of energy coming from the southern pavilion this time. He immediately said, “Miss Ninth is right. You’re quite shameless.”

Jiang Aijian touched his face and chin. Then, he said, “I don’t think so. No matter how shameless or thick one’s face is, one cannot stop the struggles of the beard.”

Pan Litian rolled his eyes. He looked at the southern pavilion. He was full of praise. “Exchange of hot and cold air, a vertical circulation, moving clouds, and a hundred layer of waves. This is the sign of the Ten Worlds avatar attempting a breakthrough to the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.”

Jiang Aijain said helplessly, “I thought someone’s trying to assassinate me again... Somebody’s having a breakthrough. Who is it?” “Could it be my dumb fourth grandson?” Pan Litian’s eyes brightened.

“You wish... Pan Zhong lives in the western pavilion, not the southern pavilion.”

Pan Litian said helplessly, “The only Evil Sky Pavilion disciple without a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar is Zhao Yue...” Jiang Aijian said with a smile, “My younger sister’s truly lucky.”

The power surge lasted for about half an hour. When it finally died down, the southern pavilion was silent again.

Pan Litian raised his wine gourd and said, “A Third Prince and an abandoned orphan of the Imperial family. I think His Highness, the Fourth Prince, is the only one who seems proper out of all the other members of Great Yan’s Imperial family. Alas, he isn’t destined to inherit the throne. His fate lies in the border.”

“It’s only natural for you to speak in his favor since he saved your life. You should’ve seen him when he was trying to flatter Liu Huan. Their arms were around each other’s shoulders,” Jiang Aijian said. “It’s all for survival... Aren’t you the same?” Pan Litian retorted.

Jiang Aijian was at a loss for words.

There was a brief moment of silence before Pan Litian said, “Indeed, His Highness, the Fourth Prince, has saved my life. I’ve served the army for decades in repayment and have killed countless enemies. In the end, I lost my cultivation base. I think the debt can be considered repaid.”

“Repaying an act of kindness. You do have some morals,” Jiang Aijian said.

The next morning. In the Evil Sky Pavilion’s eastern pavilion.

While Lu Zhou was meditating on the Heavenly Writing scroll, he heard Zhao Yue’s voice.

“Master, I haven’t let you down. I’ve entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.”

Lu Zhou opened his eyes slowly. Then, he walked out of the eastern pavilion with his hands on his back.

Zhao Yue was clearly excited. She bowed slightly as she greeted Lu Zhou. “Master.”

Lu Zhou glanced at her. He stroked his beard, nodded, and said, “Good.”

“I heard that you were condensing the Ten Worlds avatar again last night, master. Hence, I didn’t want to disturb you,” Zhao Yue said.

“Review the old and learn the new. You can try to apply this in your cultivation as well,” Lu Zhou said with a straight face. His disciples were shockingly talented after all. Surely only good would come out of them revising what they already knew. “Yes, master.” Zhao Yue was in an exceptionally good mood.

“So you’ve understood everything about the Brilliant Jade Technique?” Lu Zhou asked. “Yes.”

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. “The Brilliant Jade Technique is about an exchange of cold and warmth, just like Yin and Yang. It suits you well.”

“I’m fortunate to have been personally instructed by you, master. I won’t be able to repay your kindness enough.” Zhao Yue bowed again.

Lu Zhou noticed that her loyalty was increasing as well. It was well over 80%. This was also attributed to what he had done recently. Moreover, he had helped heal the Empress Dowager. This much was expected.

Lu Zhou raised his right hand slightly. A dark green dagger appeared in his palm. He waved his hand, and the Sky Dagger flew toward Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue was in a daze. When she saw the dagger flying toward her, she hastily caught it. It was icy to the touch. When she looked at it, she discovered it was a bright and exquisite dagger that was completely dark green.

“Initially, I planned to give you the Tear Stain Boxing Gloves, but considering that you’re a lady, I gave it to Old Eight instead... Although the dagger is small, it’s a good weapon. Do you have any objections to me giving you the Sky Dagger?” Lu Zhou asked. ‘If you do, I’ll just take it back.’

Zhao Yue suddenly remembered Old Eighth’s huge knuckles and his appearance of being covered in metal. She shuddered and said, “I have no objections. I like the Sky Dagger very much!”

The Tear Stain Box was too hideous.

“Good. I’ll bestow the Sky Dagger to you then. I hope that you’ll put it to good use,” Lu Zhou said.

“Thank you, master.” Zhao Yue was overjoyed as she kowtowed loudly toward Lu Zhou. After that, she did not waste any time to activate the Sky Dagger and have it acknowledge her as its owner. She was extremely excited to own the Sky Dagger. “Ding! Activated the Sky Dagger. Grade: heaven-grade. Owner: Zhao Yue. Reward: 1,000 merit points.” Lu Zhou had expected this notification as well. At the same time, he was reminded that the Tear Stain Boxing Gloves were not activated.

At this moment, a female disciple appeared. She bowed and said, “Pavilion Master, there are visitors from the Luo Sect. Mister Fourth has granted them entry up the mountain.”

“Alright.” Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and walked to the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall.

“Safe journey, master.” Zhao Yue bowed. If this had been any other time, she would have followed her master to the great hall. However, the lure of the Sky Dagger was too great. She could hardly stop thinking about it.

Inside the great hall of the Evil sky Pavilion.

Apart from Zhao Yue and the elders, everyone was present. Lu Zhou sat on his throne as he looked at the people from the Luo Sect.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master.”

More than ten individuals had come from the Luo Sect. Only five of them stood slightly in front of the others.

Lu Zhou looked at the young man who stood in the lead and asked, “Are you the Luo Sect’s Third Elder?”

“I am.” As the youngest elder in Luo Sect, it was only natural that Lu Ping was proud.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he appraised the people before him.

At this moment, Duanmu Sheng demanded coldly, “On your knees!”

Lu Ping was stunned.

The others from the Luo Sect were taken aback as well.

‘Didn’t Shan Yunzheng say that the pavilion master is amiable? Why are their attitudes so bad?’

“Wasn’t I clear enough?” Duanmu Sheng raised his Overlord Spear and brought it down on the floor.

Clang!

Lu Ping hastily kneeled on the ground. The others followed suit as well.

Lu Ping cursed at the Second Elder, Shan Yunzheng, 100 times over in his heart. He could only cup his fists and said, “Greetings, Old Senior Ji.’

Lu Zhou said, “You ordered the mount, Ba Wu, to spew poison here. According to the Evil Sky Pavilion’s rules, you should’ve been a dead man now.”

When Lu Ping heard this, he shuddered and said, “Old senior, that mount doesn’t belong to me! I was tricked by someone else due to my vanity. Someone’s trying to frame me with this mount!”

Naturally, Lu Zhou knew that Ba Ma was the mastermind behind this. However, he feigned ignorance.

“Shan Yunzheng was tactful enough so I spared her... You, what would you do to earn my mercy?” Lu Zhou leaned forward and looked at Lu Ping disdainfully.

The others shuddered. They were too frightened to speak. Lu Ping cupped his fists and said, “I-I... I have brought certain items as recompense!” He hastily waved his hand.

The five individuals at the back brought the items out.

There were refining cauldrons, hammers, tongs, and various precious materials such as refining stones, essential iron, prime condensing stones, and several other items.

The others could not help but look.

Jiang Aijian mused, “As expected of a great sect such as the Luo Sect. They’re certainly rich. I don’t think I can ever bribe the old senior in this manner.”
