Chapter 1152 - The God Of Great Yan Is Standing In Front Of You

Ming Shiyin looked at the bruised and swollen Zhu Honggong with satisfaction and asked, "Eighth Junior Brother... who do you think has more style? Second Senior Brother or me?"

"Uh..." Zhu Honggong wanted to cry but had no tears. 'Aren't the eleven leaves very strong? Why can't I beat anyone?'

After a moment, Zhu Honggong replied, "O-of course, it's Fourth Senior Brother…"

"I think so too," Ming Shiyin said.

"Fourth Senior Brother, what's your cultivation base?" Zhu Honggong asked. Previously, when his Fourth Senior Brother sparred with their master, he was clearly in a miserable state.

Mingshi Yin smiled ambiguously as he glanced at Zhu Honggong and said, "I'm only below one person… You can figure it yourself…"

Zhu Honggong was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and massaged Ming Shiyin's shoulder. "So strong? Then I didn't lose in vain!"

Ming Shiyin imitated his master's appearance and said, "Courage is the rarest quality. Only by having the courage to challenge the strong can one advance. You've improved; in the past, you wouldn't have done this…"

"En, you're right." Zhu Honggong nodded with a dejected expression.

At this moment…

"Old Fourth…"

A faint and gentle voice rang from the top of the building opposite the Hall of Runes.

Ming Shiyin and Zhu Honggong looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Shangrong holding the Longevity Sword, standing calmly with his back facing them.

Yu Shangrong sighed softly. "You and Old Eighth have improved a lot. I'm truly happy…" Then, he swiftly changed the topic and said, "I suddenly figured out a new sword technique. I'd like to spar with you…"

Ming Shiyin: (⊙﹏⊙)

'I swear I will never act pretentious again!'

Without waiting for Mingshi Yin's reply, Yu Shangrong said before he flew away, "I'll wait for you at the training arena."

When Yu Shangrong flew away, a golden halo flashed at his back before it vanished. Eleven golden leaves flew out and gathered around the Longevity Sword before they disappeared as well.

"..."

…

The Evil Sky Pavilion in Great Yan.

Pan Zhong pulled Zhou Jifeng toward the main hall. "Brother Zhou, the Pavilion Master is back. Quickly follow me to meet him."

"The Pavilion Master is back?" Zhou Jifeng put High Void away.

"Inform Miss Yue Xing. Don't forget Guardian Li."

"Okay."

Soon after, Pan Zhong, Hua Yuexing, and Zhou Jifeng met up.

Pan Zhong said solemnly, "Mr. Seventh has already told us that the Pavilion Master has mastered the art of rejuvenation. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Of course, I understand," Zhou Jifeng said. What a joke? How many times had he suffered in the past? If he did not have this little bit of awareness, it would be too embarrassing.

They walked to the Evil Sky Pavilion's main hall together, and when they arrived in front of the main hall, they saw Lu Zhou, Ye Tianxin, and the others.

Pan Zhong said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master, Miss Sixth, and… Miss Tenth."

The others echoed Pan Zhong's greeting.

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "I have important matters to attend to so I won't say any nonsense. During this time, all of you have performed very well guarding the Evil Sky Pavilion. Hence, you should all be rewarded."

"It's our duty..." Pan Zhong said.

"You're honest and not greedy for rewards. Very good," Lu Zhou nodded and said. Following that, he asked, "Where's Zhaoyue?"

"..."

'It seems like I'll be missing out on treasures again…'

"Miss Fifth went to the divine capital. Nine-leaf cultivators have appeared one after another in Great Yan. There are Ten-leaf cultivators as well. For this reason, Birth Chart Beasts have been appearing more frequently. Miss Fifth needs to oversee the divine capital," Pan Zhong said.

Lu Zhou asked, "There are no eleven leaves?"

"No. Great Yan has been slowly progressing. There are a few Nine-leaf cultivators, but not many Ten-leaf cultivators. Since the method to sprout the eleventh leaf is different from the activation of Birth Charts, not many people dare to try it," Pan Zhong replied.

This was within Lu Zhou's expectations. Without at least eight to ten years, it would be difficult for golden lotus cultivators to adapt to a new cultivation method. The golden lotus domain's cultivation path was destined to be different from the other domains.

Pan Zhong asked tentatively, "Pavilion Master, where are you going?"

"The Moonlight Woodland," Lu Zhou said indifferently as he waved his sleeve.

Ye Tianxin, who understood her master's gesture, summoned Cheng Huang.

Everyone bowed. "Farewell, Pavilion Master."

Lu Zhou did not stay long in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He flew with Conch toward the southwest direction.

...

Halfway to the Moonlight Woodland.

Some cultivators who were hunting fierce beasts nearby were surprised when they saw Cheng Huang flying southwest.

"Where is Cheng Huang going?"

"The person on its back should be the Evil Sky Pavilion's Miss Sixth..."

All the cultivators looked envious.

Ye Tianxin's white clothes were rather eye-catching.

"Maybe she's going to hunt Birth Chart Beasts? Many cultivators in Great Yan have even joined forces with the Other Tribesmen to hunt for fierce beasts in the southwestern's Misty Forest."

"That place is very dangerous. If they're not strong enough, they'll only be sending themselves to their deaths by going there. Naturally, it won't be a problem if it's the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion…"

…

Cheng Huang's speed was incredibly fast. Each leap covered a distance of 10,000 meters.

"Master, ahead of us is the Heavenly Moat to the left of Liangzhou."

Conch pointed at a huge flock of flying beasts in the distance, crossing the Heavenly Moat and flying to the human cities, as she said, "Master, there's movement above the Heavenly Moat? Fierce beasts?"

Only a few cultivators could be seen in the air, killing the flying beasts.

"Stop," Lu Zhou said.

Cheng Huang stopped as expected. It raised its head and looked at the flying beasts.

Conch said, "It's a small beast tide…"

Lu Zhou said calmly, "Ye Tianxin, you and Cheng Huang deal with it."

"Yes, master."

Lu Zhou and Conch leaped off of Cheng Huang's back.

Before long, they saw the butterfly-like golden seals in the distance, killing the flying beasts.

"Master, there are some over there too," Conch said, pointing southwest at the highest point of the heavenly moat.

More and more powerful fierce beasts had appeared.

Great Yan's Heavenly Moat was the same as Great Tang's Sky Wheel Mountain Range.

"Let's go and have a look."

Lu Zhou and Conch flew over, landing near the Heavenly Moat.

"Master, leave them to me..." Conch was eager to fight. She brought out her Nine String Zither.

At this moment, dozens of figures flew over from behind them.

"Hey, two of you! This place is very dangerous. Hurry up and retreat to Liangzhou."

Lu Zhou and Conch turned around and saw Great Yan cultivators rushing over.

They landed in front of the duo and looked at the flying beasts in the sky.

One of the two cultivators standing near Lu Zhou said, "Leave this to the Nether Sect."

"The Nether Sect?" Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. He raised his head and looked at the backs of the two cultivators.

When the two cultivators turned around, Lu Zhou saw Hua Chongyang and Bai Yuqing, two of the Four Great Protectors of the Nether Sect.

Time flitted by so quickly, and many things had changed. The duo's faces were already engraved with a trace of vicissitudes of life.

It was not surprising they did not recognize Lu Zhou due to his youthful appearance.

Lu Zhou called out, "Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing."

The duo was stunned. However, on second thought, Yu Zhenghai, the Sect Master of the Nether Sect, was the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, which had unified the lands. As a result, the Four Great Protectors of the Nether Sect had also grown famous. Hence, it was not surprising if they were people who recognized them.

Hua Chongyang cupped his fists together and said, "Sir, please return. Once the fierce battle starts, you might get injured."

Lu Zhou asked, "How about both of you? Can you handle it?"

"This..."

Most cultivators would not be willing to reveal their strength if asked by a stranger.

Nevertheless, Hua Chongyang and Bai Yuqing showed amazing restraint and said, "Although we're not as strong as the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, we can handle these fierce beasts."

Lu Zhou nodded before he asked, "Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, look carefully. Do you know who I am?"

There was no reason to hide this. He still had important matters to attend to in the Moonlight Woodland so he should not spend too much time here.

Hua Chongyang and Bai Yuqing looked puzzled as they scratched their heads.

"My memories aren't good. Who are you, sir?"

Conch smiled and said, "My master is the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion."

"..."

Hua Chongyang and Bai Yuqing's first reaction was that the joke was not funny at all.

After all, the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion was a god-like existence whom everyone respected in Great Yan. In the past, there were still people who dared to impersonate him. Now, anyone who dared to do such a thing would be beaten to death by fanatical fans. However, since time immemorial, as much love as one received, there would be as much hate. There were still many haters who still secretly referred to Lu Zhou as Old Demon Ji.

With these thoughts in mind, the duo could not help but wonder if the person standing in front of them was a hater?

How could the duo know the person standing in front of them was the god of Great Yan?

Nevertheless, after living for so long, the duo had grown calmer and did not make snap decisions. They studied Lu Zhou carefully before they found that the young man had a sort of familiar charisma and air about him. They could not help but wonder if he was an old friend they had forgotten.

At this moment…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Flocks of flying beasts flew down.

The huge commotion caused everyone to turn around. They looked as though they were facing a great enemy.

"One Birth Chart Beast and one huge beast. Get into formation!" Hua Chongyang ordered.

"Understood."

With that, many cultivators rushed out and fought fiercely with the fierce beasts!
