They left the inn and drove east towards Runan City in a horse carriage.
In the middle of the journey, Jiang Aijian blocked their path as he held the sword in one hand while the other hand held the half-eaten pear. He moved towards the carriage as he said with a grin, "Master, I'll come along."
Zhao Shuo had a confused expression on his face as he asked, “Brother, we will deal with that villain. Aren't you scared?”
“Of course I'm scared. I felt as if I was going to die from fear. However, since master is here, there is nothing to worry about,” Jiang Aijian replied.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and asked, "Do you have any news?"
Jiang Aijian just smiled. Although he was shameless and cunning, he was truly skilled at obtaining information.
Lu Zhou did not care about Jiang Aijian's methods of obtaining information as long as there were results. He gestured with his hand for Jiang Aijian to board before gesturing for the horse carriage to continue its journey.
Jiang Aijian looked straight ahead and said in a soft tone, "Someone from the palace is here."
After hearing this, Lu Zhou remained silent while stroking his beard.
Jiang Aijian continued to say, “Someone from the palace is the mastermind behind the incident on the holy altar. However, leaving aside your deep cultivation base, I don't think they will attack a senior monk no matter how unhappy they are. ”
Lu Zhou nodded.
The horse carriage crackled as its speed increased.
Jiang Aijian looked at the road ahead and said, “The fourth villain of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Mingshi Yin, developed the Bluewood Heart Technique. This is a troublesome cultivation method. His opponent would have difficulty conquering him. When you meet him later, please don't hold back, sir. You should drop him with one strike and not give him a chance to escape. ”
Lu Zhou said, "You seem to know a lot about the Evil Sky Pavilion."
A confident expression appeared on Jiang Aijian's face as he said, “I won't hide this from you, sir. When Ji Tiandao was attacked by ten great elites ..." He paused for a moment to point to himself before continuing, "I was there!"
Jiang Aijian looked proud as he continued to say, “It was the battle of the century! Ten great elites! Half of them had a Six-leaf Avatar, and the other half had a Seven-leaf Avatar! However, they still could not defeat Ji Tiandao who possessed the Eight-leafed Avatar!”
Lu Zhou was shocked inwardly when he heard this even though his expression remained calm. He, of course, had access to this memory. However, he really did not expect Jiang Aijian to personally witness that fight.
Jiang Aijian continued to babble, “The battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, they only fought with a draw. The old criminal, Ji Tiandao, was injured.Even now I still can't understand him. How did the ten great elites fail when they besieged Golden Court Mountain after a month?
Lu Zhou did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "You're afraid of him?"
Jiang Aijian said with a sigh, “Since I witnessed that great battle, I vowed to stay away from that man. He's too scary! How can man be so scary?”
Little Yuan'er quickly covered her mouth with a hand as a small burst of laughter came out of her mouth. It didn't take long before he started laughing out loud.
Jiang Aijian did not think this was strange. After all, he was already used to the ridicule of this young girl. He decided to let it go.
Zhao Yue looked confused. He didn't know if he should laugh now.
"Stop!" Zhao Shuo's voice sounded suddenly.
The horse-drawn carriage slipped until it stopped.
Jiang Aijian jumped from the horse carriage. He was shocked when he saw the chaotic scene in front of him and the heads that were hung on the city gates. He exclaimed, "How cruel!"
Lu Zhou also got off the carriage. He looked at the bloodied head of a human.
Zhao Shuo said with a deep frown, "The villain must be close... I've already contacted some Divine Court realm cultivators to search the area. We should be able to find him soon. ”
Lu Zhou said, "The dead are riding robbers."
"That's not important," Zhao Shuo said truthfully, "I'll do anything to catch the criminal."
Lu Zhou turned to look at Zhao Shuo. He shook his head. "It means nothing to talk to him."
A mocking and crazy laughter suddenly resounded in the air. “You think you'll be able to catch me? Dream on!"
“Do not fear.”
“Er... I am not afraid.” Jiang Aijian scratched his head.
Several figures shot past the roof in the air.
Maniac laughter continued to echo in the air.
"Here's the villain!"
Everyone looked towards the laughter. A man with strange eyes and ragged black hair wearing a white robe shot towards them at high speed as he ridiculed and insulted the surrounding cultivators. "Come on! Chase me!”
Zhao Shuo's eyes widened in anger as he unsheathed his sword.
Whooshing sound!
Zhao Shuo said before he left, "Master, I will leave the safety of the residents of Runan City in your hands."
Lu Zhou looked at the incoming Mingshi Yin calmly. His eyes looked at the cultivators who were chasing Mingshi Yin as well. His expression did not change at all.
Since Lu Zhou was here, Jiang Aijian was not too worried. However, he felt a bit strange as he was used to observing from afar as he hid in a corner. This was the first time he had observed in the open.
Mingshi Yin's laughter drew closer. “I'm getting bored!” As soon as he finished speaking, he sped up, covering a distance of several hundred meters in just the blink of an eye.
"The Newborn God Tribulation Realm!" Jiang Aijian's words shocked everyone.
Based on Mingshi Yin's speed, it was clear he was a Nascent Divine Tribulation realm cultivator.
Jiang Aijian gulped. She felt ashamed. As an early stage Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite as well, he felt the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion were much stronger in comparison.
As everyone looked towards Mingshi Yin who was charging towards them, Zhao Shuo shouted, “Villain of the Evil Sky Pavilion! Die!" He swung his sword into the air. His sword was shrouded in destructive energy as it slashed towards Mingshi Yin's face.
Mingshi Yin laughed as she brushed off the sword with one hand.
Bang out!
The sword shattered in just an instant!
Mingshi Yin said arrogantly, "You won't be able to do anything to me with this technique!" Suddenly, he stopped as he muttered softly, "That old man .. looks like master!"
Zhao Shuo stumbled backwards in surprise. He thought he had infuriated the criminal and was now a target. This criminal is someone who kills without batting an eye. He quickly retreated to Lu Zhou's side.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard calmly. He could not blame his other students if they did not recognize him because the Reversal Card had changed his appearance a little. However, there was no way Mingshi Yin could not recognize him.
Mingshi Yin frowned as she studied Lu Zhou. A moment later, his expression changed drastically. He quickly dissipated the surrounding energy and descended.
Jiang Aijian hurriedly took a step back and unsheathed his sword. "It's bad! Criminals down!" However, when he saw Lu Zhou, he was confused by how calm Lu Zhou was.
As soon as Mingshi Yin landed, she quickly dashed towards the group. He shouted in excitement, "Master!" When he arrived in front of the group, he bowed before lifting the tip of his robe with his right hand and fell to his knees with a thud. He said respectfully, "This disciple pays respect to master!"
Jiang Aijian and Zhao Shuo were confused.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard before he waved. "Stand up and talk."
Mingshi Yin smiled humbly. His arrogance from before had completely vanished. Before Lu Zhou could say anything, he asked carefully, “Master, didn't we agree to meet at Like The Clouds Inn? What brings you here?"
Zhao Shuo's eyes widened in understanding as he quickly retreated to the side. She stuttered, "You ... k-you .. you ..."
Little Yuan'er said angrily, “Dragon your mouth! See if I don't pull your tongue out if you continue to offend my master!"
Jiang Aijian was dumbfounded. 'This is great. Is it too late for me to escape now?'
