Old Man Ouyang still had his back facing Lu Zhou as he said, Theres the remnant aura of the divine Fire Phoenix here. Did you see it?

Lu Zhou asked, Youre looking for the Fire Phoenix?

Old Man Ouyang turned around. He looked like an ordinary old man, and his eyes spoke of the vicissitudes of life. He looked at Lu Zhou and nodded, revealing an expression of approval as he said, Youre that Great Venerable Master, right? Theres no need to be hostile. Im only here for the Fire Phoenix.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, It has already left. Based on your knowledge do you think I have a chance of defeating it?

Old Man Ouyang looked at the ruins that were the northern training hall for a moment before he said, Youre right. Ive offended you today. Your cultivation base and your talent are both very high. Perhaps, well meet again in the future. This Great Void Pill might be able to help you. Consider this compensation.

Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. This was not a big matter; was there a need for compensation? He did not know what the old man was thinking.

The Great Void Pill was not an ordinary pill. Back then, Tuoba Sicheng had relied on this pill to break through to the next stage of his cultivation. With this pill, Lu Zhou could easily have another breakthrough.

Lu Zhou asked, puzzled, We dont know each other. Why would you give me such a valuable thing?

Lu Zhou thought that things were rather strange recently. First, there was Jie Jinan, and now, there was this old man with the surname Ouyang. Both of them had given him treasures without asking anything in return. Did they mistake him for another person? Did Lu Tiantong have such good connections with all these experts?

Wait, Lu Zhou called out. Jie Jinan left before he had a chance to ask any questions. This time, he wanted to get some answers out of Old Man Ouyang.

Halcyon is coming. I still have something to do. Farewell.

Buzz!

With the sound of energy resonating, the old man vanished from sight.

The two cultivators at the northern training hall flew into the distant sky and vanished from sight as well.

Lu Zhou was perplexed. He frowned slightly as he looked at the now-empty sky. Halcyon is coming?

At the same time.

Old Man Ouyang and his two subordinates appeared on the northern side of a mountain peak.

Old Man Ouyang looked at his subordinate and asked, Mr. Ouyang, the aura of the Fire Phoenix is very strong at the ruins. The Fire Phoenix shouldnt be too far away. Why dont you look for it? one of the subordinates asked.

Old Man Ouyang looked at his subordinate from the corners of his eyes before he asked, Are you questioning me?

I dont dare!

The Fire Phoenix is known as the Immortal Bird. With your strength, do you think you can catch it? Old Man Ouyang asked.

But, youre with us the subordinate said.

I came to the green lotus domain to relax. I dont plan to look for trouble. Moreover, I cant defeat the Fire Phoenix either, Old Man Ouyang said.

Leave. I want to be alone.

Yes.

The two subordinates left in a flash.

After a while, a black figure appeared nearby. Brother Ouyang, long time no see.

Brother? Old Man Ouyang frowned.

Im joking. Why are you so serious? Were already so old. Itd be boring to keep a straight face all day.

Old Man Ouyang said, I came to see you not to talk about this nonsense.

Alright, alright. The black figure chuckled. Then, he asked, Did you see him?

Yes.

What do you think?

I have no opinion, Old Man Ouyang said.

Bah! To think youre someone from the Great Void.

I gave him the Great Void Pill, Old Man Ouyang said, I hope your judgment is not wrong.

If Im wrong, I, Jie Jinan, will present my head on a platter to you.

Old Man Ouyang fell silent upon hearing these words. His face that was illuminated by the light in the sky seemed to hold a tinge of melancholy and dispirit as though he had gone through the many vicissitudes of life. He sighed, as though recalling the past that he could not bear to remember before he said, I hope youre right

Jie Jinan laughed before he said, In this world, including the Great Void and the Endless Ocean, Im the only one whos able to find him.

Old Man Ouyang nodded before he asked, So, do you plan to hide forever?

Hide? Jie Jinan shook his head. Im just traveling the world. Why? Do you think you bunch of drunkards at the hall can capture me?

Old Man Ouyang shook his head. Youre mistaken. Its not that they cant capture you; its that they cant be bothered with you. Youd better watch out.

Jie Jinans expression turned solemn. Im leaving. I dont want to talk too much.

With a flash, Jie Jinan vanished from sight.

In the southern training hall.

Lu Zhou muttered Old Man Ouyangs earlier words, Halcyon is coming? Halcyon Bird?

He was reminded of Si Wuyas odd behavior.

He silently recited the mantra for the power of sight.

In a room.

Si Wuya rose to his feet after packing his things. He said, Ill set off to Penglai tomorrow. Come with me.

Its not a problem for me to go to Penglai with you. However, you can forget about going to Halcyon, Jiang Aijian said as he shook his head.

Si Wuya said with a straight face, I have three desolate-grade swords here. The Sky Martial Academy has just forged them. Their appearances are a little ugly so no one wants them. Im thinking of melting them and reforging them tomorrow.

Dont, dont, dont! Every sword is precious. Youre really heartless! Be careful you might not be able to marry a wife in the future! Jiang Aijian said.

Si Wuya only smiled.

Jiang Aijian said helplessly, Fine, do I have a choice? Ill go with you, but the swords are mine!

Deal.

Jiang Aijian asked curiously, Why do you insist on going to Mount Halcyon?

Theres new information about the shackles of heaven and earth there. I need to verify it, Si Wuya replied.

This excuse is too lame. If you dont want to tell me, then forget it, Jiang Aijian said. Then, he turned around and walked to the door as he said, Dont forget my swords.

Si Wuya smiled as he called out, Jiang Aijian.

What? If you have something to say, then hurry up and say it, Jiang Aijian said.

Whats your lifelong pursuit? Si Wuya asked.

Jiang Aijian looked at the scenery outside the door as he said, My pursuit has always been the same. I cant only blame myself for being too single-minded. I dont want to cultivate nor do I want to live forever. I only want to collect all the good swords in the world. When I die, I want to be buried in a tomb filled with beautiful swords that will guard me for generations. Ah, how nice would that be

What a vulgar pursuit

Well leave tomorrow.

Okay.

Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. He murmured to himself, Is there something happening at Mount Halcyon?

He continued to observe Si Wuya. However, Si Wuya was just working at his desk so in the end, he could only cut off his power of sight.

At this moment, Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li appeared outside of the training hall.

Pavilion Master.

Come in.

Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li entered the training hall.

Lu Li did not beat around the bush and directly said, The imbalance has worsened again. There are a lot of fierce beasts heading toward the golden lotus domain!

Lu Zhou frowned. He was not a Great Venerable Master. Logically, with the appearance of a Great Venerable Master, it should have balanced out the deaths of Tuoba Sicheng and Ye Zheng. Not only did the imbalance not get better, but it had worsened, causing the fierce beasts to migrate again to restore the balance.

Why is it the golden lotus domain?

I dont know. Mr. Third and Lu Wu have gone to guard the entrance at the Misty Forest. For the time being, no fierce beasts can threaten the golden lotus domain. However theres no such guarantee for the sea beasts from the Endless Ocean, Lu Li said.

There are already movements at the east of the Endless Ocean. In fewer than five days, theyll arrive at Penglai. Im afraid Penglai is in trouble.. Im really curious as well. Why is the golden lotus domain?
