The swordsman floated in the air with a relaxed expression on his face, seeming to have been waiting for a long time. Faint clumps of energy swirled around him, and he was circled in an unspeakable strange aura. Meanwhile, the sword behind his back shone with a faint red light.
Even if this group of black-clothed cultivators had not seen much of the world, they could still recognize the aura of an expert. As a result, the ink-colored dragon carriage was forced to stop.
One of the cultivators flew out of line and asked politely, "May I know my master's name and the reason for blocking our path?"
The swordsman slowly turned around. His sharp face smiled, but there was a strange feeling in that smile, faint and difficult to explain. With his arms crossed, he spoke like a gentleman, "Sorry."
“Oh, so it's a misunderstanding. Alright, then," the cultivator cupped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
Unfortunately, the swordsman did not step aside. He still put on the same smile while looking at the carriage and the group of cultivators.
"I'm sorry." He said a second time, and the atmosphere became strange.
Then, the black-clothed cultivators saw the sword on his back drift as streams of energy flowed out from his body to surround his blade. At the sight of him, the cultivator who was flying to speak widened his eyes and shouted, “Devil Sword? Leave the train and run for your life!”
The black-clothed cultivators moved as fast as lightning in all directions. However, the sword that was shining with a faint red light split into two, four, and then eight, each shooting towards one cultivator.
The rain of swords piercing through the group of cultivators was as easy as crushing dry grass and destroying rotten wood. The swordsman still put on the same smile and crossed his hands in front of his chest. After his sword left him, he stopped looking at those cultivators.
"I'm sorry."
He said for the third time. After which, his figure swayed and disappeared.
Meanwhile, in the great hall of the Evil Sky Pavilion…
When he saw that his master seemed to be thinking of something, Mingshi Yin bowed and said, “Master, the Fiend Shrine cultivators have retreated. What should we do with the group of female cultivators from the Moon Originating Palace?”
He was unsure of his master's thoughts now.
If in the past, the punishment was death, because their leader, Ye Tianxin, had left the sect and betrayed his master.
After all, Lu Zhou did not immediately answer his question but turned to look at Little Yuan'er.
The little girl was plain and simple, but sometimes she came out with dangerous thoughts. So, he wanted to test it. "What do you think we should do with them, Yuan'er?"
"Aah?" For a moment, Little Yuan'er was confused, and then he said in a low voice, "Why don't we just kill them all?"
"Coughs! Cough!" Mingshi Yin coughed and glanced guiltily at her junior sister.
Lu Zhou shook his head and patted his head with his hands.
“I know, Master... I will free them now,” Little Yuan'er said with a smile.
"When did I say I'd let them go?"
“Aduh..”.
At this point, Mingshi Yin cupped her fists and said, “Master, I recently discovered that many parts in the Evil Sky Pavilion have been damaged, and many places need to be cleaned and repaired as well. Why don't we make them slaves and work for us?”
Lu Zhou glanced at him and considered the idea. 'What's on this guy's mind? He made it sound as if I was a black-hearted supervisor in an illegal factory, not his master. But ... it's actually a good idea.'
"Good! Have them repair the Evil Sky Pavilion. When they are done, enter them into the Reflection Cave, so that they will suffer together with Ye Tianxin, ” Lu Zhou said.
"This disciple will obey Master's orders."
As if he had thought of something, Mingshi Yin gathered her courage and asked, “Master, now we have decided on the punishment for the entire Moon Descendant Palace, in your opinion whether we should, ye Tianxin's cultivation base was destroyed, and the Reflection Cave was cold. I was worried that he would die after being locked up there for too long.”.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and cut it off. "Do you feel sorry for him?"
"No, I don't dare!" Mingshi Yin became afraid. “Ye Tianxin must be severely punished for leaving the sect and betraying Master! He deserves it!"
"I have my plan."
“I understand, Guru.”
Mingshi Yin did not dare to mention anything about Ye Tianxin anymore as she turned around and left the large hall. After walking out of the Evil Sky Pavilion, he took a deep breath and thought, 'Fortunately, Little Junior Sister who answered that question.' When she thought of Zuo Xinchan's miserable ending, she shook her head and decided that she wouldn't be so aggressive in the future.
“Master, I will go now to heal my wounds,” Duanmu Sheng said, after he saw Mingshi Yin walk out of the large hall.
"Wait!"
Lu Zhou slowly stood up and came in front of Duanmu Sheng as he rested his eyes on the chain.
Made of a thousand year old cold iron, the chain was impossible to destroy with ordinary weapons. It could only be destroyed with a heaven-level weapon. However, Lu Zhou did not have a heaven-level weapon he could use right now, and he only had two deadly attack cards.
The question is, can the card be used on a chain? Would it destroy Duanmu Sheng together?
Duanmu Sheng was overjoyed when he saw his master focus on the chain. He bowed and said, "Master, under your great strength, these chains are like a pile of scrap metal or a piece of paper!"
“…”
Little Yuan jumped up and touched the cold chain with his hand. He looked at the row of small characters, and he read, "The Sect of the Heavenly Sword ..."
After hearing that, Zhou Jifeng hurriedly knelt down and said, "This ... This ... It has nothing to do with me!"
Duanmu Sheng glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Master can easily destroy ten or even a hundred chains like this, let alone just one."
“…”
When he finished looking at the chain, Lu Zhou wore the same calm expression that hid all his thoughts. Then, he clasped his hands behind his back as he turned around and said, "Yuan'er, help me get back to my room."
"Oh!"
Duanmu Sheng, "???"
Even after Lu Zhou and Little Yuan'er had long since left, Duanmu Sheng was still unable to understand what was wrong from his words.
Zhou Jifeng got up and said somewhat embarrassingly, "Third Master ... This ... chain, I really can't break it!"
"Me too" said Pan Zhong.
"Go from before me."
"Yes." Yeah."
The two men rushed out of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Duanmu Sheng scratched his head. She wondered if her master was trying to give her some pointers after seeing her block Zuo Xinchan's many blows with the chain earlier? Or was he trying to tell her that wearing the chain was beneficial for her cultivation base?
Master is a very wise man, I'd better stop guessing his thoughts, ' he thought. 'Yeah, I should. Well, I'll just wear the chain for now.'
The great hall of the Fiend Temple…
“Master, Deputy Chief was killed during his visit to Golden Court Mountain. Our men found his ink-colored dragon carriage about eighty miles north of the mountain, along with a hundred and fifty corpses, which were his men.” The man thought the chief would become angry after hearing the report, but the latter did not. “Vice Chief has made a deal with the Clarity Sect for this Golden Court Mountain suppression operation, and he is even supported by His Majesty. However, that old villain..”.
"Shut up!" The heavy voice of the chieftain exploded in the man's ears like thunder, making him slump to the ground in fear and making his face pale.
"Please calm down, my lord!"
“Tell the old men in the Clarity Sect that I will not be angry because of this and will not remember it. The cooperation between the Fiend Temple and the Clarity Sect will remain the same. However, I hope they can show us sincerity.”
"Y-yes ..my lord. T-there's one more report..”
"Tell me."
“Two experts from the Clarity Sect were seriously injured in a battle drill with Sword Freak yesterday. I'm worried..they can't meet my master today!”
"Get out of here!"
His thunderous voice made the man run out of the large hall in panic and fear while crushing the chairs placed on his left and right.
"When I have finished cultivating my divine technique, I will kill the old villain myself!"
