The green-clothed swordsman did not look towards the black-clothed man standing behind him. A smile bloomed on his face before he said, “Tell your sect master that I have no intention of taking a life today. Tell him that I'm sorry.”
For some reason, when the black-clothed man heard the word, 'sorry', he took a step back regardless of himself. He said awkwardly, “Senior, you killed Sword Freak, Chen Wenjie, earlier. Who's your next target?”
The green-clothed swordsman looked at the black-clothed man to the side, causing the black-clothed man to retreat even further. He was quite frightened, worried that the green-clothed swordsman would say that he was the next target.
“Do not worry, I have always been a gentle and polite person. Your sect master knows that well, ” said the green-clothed swordsman indifferently.
“Uh. I hope you're not offended by this. ” The black-clothed man's knees clashed against each other at this moment.
"It's okay," the green-clothed swordsman said softly, "Thank you for giving me information lately."
The black-clothed man wiped the sweat on his face as he heaved a sigh of relief.
The green-clothed swordsman continued to say, “If I plan to kill you, I will tell you in advance, my friend.” He had clearly paused for a moment before he added the words, 'my friend'.
“...” The black-clothed man felt like crying. 'You're planning to tell your target that you're going to kill them before you kill them?' He no longer dared to say anything, he just stood still at the back.
The green-clothed swordsman continued to observe the Black Knights. He shook his head and sighed before saying, “Fan Xiuwen, the leader of the Black Knights has been there for half a day. I doubt he'll be back.”
"S-senior, will you wait any longer?"
"That's boring." The green-clothed swordsman turned around and left. After walking about 100 meters into the forest, he disappeared into thin air.
The black-clothed man stumbled, almost losing his footing. He took a long breath. 'This mission will be the end of me!' After he calmed down, he continued to observe the Black Knight. At this moment, he saw someone flying out of the barrier. That person circled above the Black Knight before he stopped. "Mingshi Yin from the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
No matter how trained the Black Knights were, they could not help but retreat a few steps under the frightening aura of Mingshi Yin. In the end, they could only helplessly leave the Golden Court Mountain.
The black-clothed man nodded to himself as he muttered softly, “No wonder Senior Demon Sword left. Even Fan Xiuwen who had an Eight-leaved avatar was helpless against the Evil Sky Pavilion It didn't take long before he left the forest either.
…
The Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou looked at his achievement points on the system dashboard. He had 2,210 merit points remaining. The reward for capturing Fan Xiuwen was far less compared to killing the elites of the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.
'I have 5 points of luck... I did twice the previous series, and all I got was messages of 'thank you' and 'so sweet'.' Lu Zhou considered it for a moment. 'Maybe I should try again. After all, the third time was his charm…'
"Daddy. ding! Spending 50 merit points for the draw. Thank you for participating. Luck +1.”
Lu Zhou shook his head. He resisted the urge to make another draw. 'This is the same as repairing weapons. I have to be patient and wait for an opportunity. I can't let it get to my head.'

"Five Energies of the Universe cost 8,000 merit points ..." Lu Zhou muttered to himself with a frown. He did not think he would have enough points even if he killed Fan Xiuwen and the others. He sighed, 'And this is only the Five Energy Universe. I believe the Six Lines Recombinant Trigrams, Seven Star Souls, and Eight Connected Methods are no cheaper than the Five Energy Universe.'
Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the dashboard disappeared. No need to be ashamed of this. He was just starting out compared to Ji Tiandao who had lived almost a millennium. "Hurry men can't eat hot tofu."
At this moment, Mingshi Yin ran into the large hall and said, “Teacher, I have locked our captive. There will be no problems, sir.” When he saw Lu Zhou immersed in his thoughts, he quickly bowed, clearly trying to flatter Lu Zhou.
Perhaps, Lu Zhou was used to it, he did not feel special. For all he cared about, Mingshi Yin could flatter him forever. 'This guy, I think he's possessed by Heshen.
"What's the problem?" Lu Zhou asked indifferently.
“Master, Fan Xiuwen stubbornly refused to reveal the mastermind behind the Dragon Fish Village incident. However, I have a suggestion..” With a smile on his face, Mingshi Yin made a hammering gesture.
Lu Zhou said, “Fan Xiuwen is the leader of the Black Knight. If he is able to reach that position, do you think your torture is enough to make him talk?”
"Well, what if he refuses to talk?" Mingshi Yin asked in confusion.
“No need to rush.” Lu Zhou stood up slowly. He walked down the stairs with his hands on his back as he continued to say, "The puppeteer must be holding something above Fan Xiuwen's head."
Mingshi Yin asked hesitantly, "Is ... Are you planning to deal with the palace, sir?"
Lu Zhou's expression was calm. He didn't answer that question. Currently, the only person who could obtain information from the palace was Jiang Aijian because he had access to the palace archives. However, it was before Jiang Aijian left the palace. Now that he was gone, there was little chance that he would be able to access the palace archives. Moreover, this matter was a closely guarded secret.
A thought suddenly appeared unsolicited in Lu Zhou's mind. 'What if the palace leaked the archives on purpose to use the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Black Knight as pawns?' After thinking about it, he called out, "Mingshi Yin!"
"Yes sir."
“I will hand over Fan Xiuwen's interrogation to you,” Lu Zhou said with a wave of his hand.
Mingshi Yin replied respectfully, “Ya, sir. I will interrogate this person thoroughly and find out the mastermind behind the incident as soon as possible!” After saying that, he paused for a moment before continuing saying, “Master, Fan Xiuwen is a very strong person. The two Dark Knights we imprisoned were also elites. I just entered the Newborn Divinity Tribulation recently, and I don't even have a suitable weapon. Will you…"
"God."
"Yes sir!" Mingshi Yin immediately swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and dashed out of the pavilion. A bitter expression appeared on his face. 'It looks like my achievements should match the type of weapon I want.' He felt his heart slit as he recalled the broken blade.
"Old Fourth?"
"Who is that?" Mingshi Yin asked in annoyance. He's not in a good mood right now.
Duanmu Sheng appeared, brandishing the Spear Master. “Old Fourth, come compete with me! Look at my Master's Spear!”
“Third Senior Brother? I have something I have to deal with ... "
“It won't work. You are the only person in the entire Evil Sky Pavilion who can argue with me. Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng were not enough. I can't even exercise well from them. ” Duanmu Sheng walked over and patted Mingshi Yin on the shoulder.
Mingshi Yin's eyes looked around as she said, “Teacher has ordered me to interrogate Fan Xiuwen today. Senior Brother, why don't you argue with Little Junior Sister? ”
Talk about a female demon. Little Yuan'er sailed through the air and landed on a branch above their heads. "I'll tell mister two of you who bullied me!" As soon as he finished talking, he left.
“...” Duanmu Sheng frowned. He said with a sigh, “You can interrogate Fan Xiuwen later. Just a moment..” He patted Mingshi Yin's shoulder again.
"K-sister senior, t-be gentle ..."
