Chapter 587: Pay for My Disciple’s Life

His simple statement resounded across the entire Divine Capital.

As soon as he finished speaking, many figures leaped out of the flying chariot.

Duanmu Sheng unleashed 1,000 spear shadows as he dove toward the Imperial guards and took out 100 of them with one single strike.

The imperial guards were sent flying!

Duanmu Sheng was the epitome of a brave man who could not be defeated by 10,000 men!

Zhao Yue, Little Yuan’er, Zhu Honggong, and the four elders moved in different directions and attacked as well, unleashing their Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars!

Apart from that, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng summoned their Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars as well!

Were there these many Nascent Divinity realm elites in the Evil Sky Pavilion?!

The cultivators who initially planned to reap the benefit as both sides fought were now shaken. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at the cloud-splitting chariot in the air fearfully.

The 19 elders were frightened as well!

“Old Villain Ji?!”

“It’s Old Villain Ji!”

The cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the situation felt their hearts race when they looked at the cloud-splitting chariot and Liu Gu’s body on the ground. They were dumbfounded. The 19 elders had deceived them? Where was the Nine-leaf Liu Gu? What happened to the Imperial family that’s supposed to be invincible inside the supposed Ten Terminal Formation? What happened to the mighty Imperial guards who supposedly dominated the world? Lies! They were all lies!

Run!

The cultivators ran in all directions in the Divine Capital.

When Hua Wudao saw the flying chariot, he was invigorated. He said, “Yuexing, this is the best time for you to unleash your skills!”

“Alright!” Hua Yuexing pushed away lightly and rose higher in the air. She turned a full circle as she released her energy arrows at the running cultivators.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The energy arrows pierced through avatars, and the low-rank cultivators fell from the sky.

On the other side, the Nirvana Sash shone brightly as it danced like a dragon in the air. Everyone in the Nirvana Sash’s path was bound by it.

As for the four elders who have slashed their lotuses, their peers were no match for them at all.

The Golden Gourd Bottle would claim one life every time it flew out.

Leng Luo flitted through the ranks of the cultivators like a phantom.

The scripts released by Zuo Yushu’s Coiling Dragon Staff rained down in the Divine Capital like leaves in autumn.

Upon seeing this, Si Wuya was overwhelmed with emotions.

Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion was making a move! With this, the battle turned utterly one-sided. The members from the Evil Sky Pavilion easily took control of the situation.

The enemies did not dare to move or attack at all!

“I’ll kill anyone who makes another move!”

Everyone looked at Hua Yuexing who was high up in the sky.

At this moment, Hua Yuexing summoned her Two-leaf avatar. A crisp sound rang in the air as her avatar sprouted another leaf! She had a breakthrough during battle! The bow and arrows in her hands were still wrapped in energy. Four energy arrows were nested between her fingers; they could be fired at any moment.

Now that the situation was under control, the Nether Sect members cheered.

“All hail the patriarch!”

The cloud-splitting chariot had become the beacon of hope for the members of the Nether Sect. None of them remained unmoved.

Si Wuya and Hua Chongyang were relieved; they did not have to use the Primal Fiend Potion, after all.

At this moment, Lu Zhou walked out of the cloud-splitting chariot with his hands on his back, flanked by Ye Tianxin and Conch. He looked down at the Imperial guards before his eyes finally rested on Wang Yue. “Eight-leaf?”

Wang Yue took a step back.

Lu Zhou descended.

A collective gasp rang in the air. Everyone held their breaths as they looked at Lu Zhou who was descending from the sky. Faint blue energy seals could be seen under his feet.

Boom!

As soon as Lu Zhou’s feet touched the ground, two energy seals flew out from his feet toward Wang Yue’s face.

Wang Yue was greatly panicked. He tried to dodge, but the energy seals seemed to have eyes. It did not take long before they landed on his chest squarely.

Bam! Bam!

Wang Yue dropped to the ground immediately. He was in agony at this moment. ‘I’m also an Eight-leaf cultivator, for crying out loud! Why is that everyone’s able to easily step on me?!’ He could no longer control his surging blood essence. With a grunt, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He remained sprawling on the ground; his face red.

The 19 elders on the peak of the Imperial city, the supposedly neutral cultivators in the Divine Capital, and the tens of thousands of Nether Sect members in the Imperial city held their breaths. They looked at the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch who had just landed. He was also the master of Sect Master of the greatest Fiend Path sect! He was an old man who seemed unthreatening, but his aura alone held the entire Divine Capital in fear. Clearly, this was not an ordinary old man, he was the first Nine-leaf cultivator, the Patriarch of the Evil Sky Pavilion, and the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s nine great disciples!

At this moment, the Divine Capital was as silent as a graveyard.

Lu Zhou continued to stare at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue flinched.

After a long time, Lu Zhou still did not move his eyes away. This person before him was the final surviving Eight-leaf elite among the eight great generals.

Wang Yue broke down! Lu Zhou’s aura had completely crushed his mental defenses. Without a second word, he pushed away from the ground and shot toward the peak of the Imperial city like a fired arrow.

‘Running away?!’ Lu Zhou raised his hand. A halberd on the ground thrummed before it flew into his hand. His fingers shone with blue radiance as he chucked the halberd out!

Swoosh!

The lightning-fast attack exceeded everyone’s expectations! The halberd pierced Wang Yue’s back. The huge momentum kept it going and penetrated his chest as well.

Bam!

The halberd flew out, carrying Wang Yue’s body with it, and embedded itself into the Imperial city’s wall!

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

The 19 elders felt their throats grow dry. They trembled uncontrollably when they looked at Wang Yue who was pinned to the wall.

Blood flowed along the halberd and onto the wall before dripping to the ground like a waterfall.

Lu Zhou no longer paid any attention to Wang Yue. He turned around and swept his eyes across the peak of the Imperial city before he tonelessly said, “Big Dipper Academy.”

The nine elders’ felt their hearts sink.

“Kill yourselves,” Lu Zhou curtly said.

“...”

The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples looked at the nine white-clad cultivators who were hovering in the air. These people were the ones who activated and maintained the Ten Terminal Formation. In other words, they were the ones who killed Yu Zhenghai.

“Senior Ji... are you... are you going to commit the heinous crime of killing everyone?” one of the elders said out of desperation as he fought back his fear.

Casualties were expected during a war. However, to kill an entire city of people... That was inhumane.

Lu Zhou glanced at the elder who had spoken. He did not respond to the question and only said, “Let’s start with you.”

“...”

“You’ll be the first to pay for my disciple’s life...” Lu Zhou’s voice was gruff and domineering. He stood on the ground with his hands on his back, seemingly as immovable as a mountain as he waited for the elder to end his life.

However, how many people in the world were willing to end their own lives? Who would have the courage to take a knife to their hearts? How many in this world were willing to take their own lives?

The elder’s eyes widened in fear. He turned around and unleashed his avatar before he sprinted to the distance!

Two-leaf?

Little Yuan’er who was standing closest to the elder snorted. “Another one trying to escape. I’ll beat you to death!”

Whoosh!

Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps!

Little Yuan’er’s scarlet Nirvana Sash unfurled before her like a dancing dragon!

“Eh? How slow!” Little Yuan’er appeared in front of the elder and brought her foot down on him.

Boom!

The elder’s chest was heavily hit. He dropped down and crashed onto the ground with a loud boom!

Little Yuan’er dove again.

Bam!

She sent him flying with a kick.

Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps!

She appeared above the elder again at lightning speed. Then, she brought her foot down on him again!

Bam!

The elder crashed heavily onto the ground. He was no longer breathing or moving.

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

The Imperial city was as silent as a graveyard.

Even a little girl from the Evil Sky Pavilion was this powerful and violent...

Everyone else despaired!

Lu Zhou no longer looked at that elder. Instead, he looked at the other Big Dipper Academy’s elders. “Next,” he said, sentencing them to death.
