Chapter 880 - All Of Them Are Talented People?

Based on Lu Li's cultivation base and strength, Lu Zhou tried to estimate the strength of the sea beast they encountered. From what he saw with his Heavenly Writing Power and Mingshi Yin's description, he was certain it would not be a problem for someone who had a Five Birth Chart Thousand Realms Whirling avatar to escape even if it was difficult to defeat the sea beast.

The question was: Why was Lu Li so determined to complete this mission to the extent that he was willing to disregard his life? What secret was hidden in this mission?

Lu Zhou did not dwell on these questions for long. He would figure it out in the future. It was more important for him to pay special attention to Zhu Honggong over the next few days. Zhu Honggong was his disciple, after all. He did not wish to see any harm come to him.

After Lu Zhou organized his thoughts, he closed his eyes. He activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic before he began to meditate on the Heavenly Writing again.

Before he fell into his meditative state, he thought to himself that he must find more fire spirit stones. The Purple Glazed Ceramic was unique and truly suited for cultivating. He had to upgrade it.

…

The Endless Ocean.

After braving through lightning and thunder, the Sky Shuttle flew peacefully over the sea for three days.

At this moment, the morning sun that had just risen shone on the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Mingshi Yin stretched his limbs before he said with a sigh, "I'm really not used to Eighth Junior Brother's absence."

"I hope he's fine," Si Wuya murmured as he looked ahead.

Soon enough, a thin line appeared in the distance.

"We're here!"

Everyone rose to their feet and rushed to the side of the deck. Their mood improved as they looked at the coastline that gradually grew bigger and bigger. They had finally arrived.

"Hey, make sure we are going in the right direction," Mingshi Yin suddenly said at this moment, "If we go to the wrong place, we'll be in big trouble."

Everyone turned to look at Mingshi Yin. The joke was not funny at all. In fact, it was rather terrifying.

Only Mingshi Yin remained unaffected. He pointed at the coastline and said, "It can't be wrong. Before we departed, I confirmed the location with Guardian Meng. Moreover, he left a communication formation that will guide us in the right direction…"

"Fortunately, we didn't listen to the black lotus expert's suggestion. Otherwise, we'd be in big trouble," Ming Shiyin said.

"That senior's suggestion isn't necessarily bad. It's just his suggestion leads to uncertainties," Si Wuya replied.

Mingshi Yin glanced at Si Wuya and curiously asked, "Since there's a black lotus cultivator, where's the black lotus domain?"

Si Wuya remained silent as he looked at the coastline that was getting clearer and clearer.

No one knew what he was thinking.

"Actually, an ignorant person can live a happy life. There's no need to worry about this and that. The more you know, the more you'll worry. In hindsight, my worries in the past are really nothing…" Mingshi Yin said.

Duanmu Sheng carried the Overlord Spear as he stood next to Mingshi Yin and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, although your cultivation base is higher than mine, your courage is slightly lacking. Who cares if it's a black lotus or a white lotus? Just stab it with your spear!"

"Third Senior Brother is right." Mingshi Yin smiled and did not refute Duanmu Sheng's words. He thought to himself, 'This is what I have to do as master's most trusted disciple!'

…

Finally, the Sky Shuttle was approaching the shore.

Looking at the calm sea, one could not help but feel at ease.

Meanwhile, Si Wuya was transfixed with the scenery in front of him.

At this moment, a figure flew up from below.

Buzz!

At the same time, the sound of the resonance of energy rang in the air.

The figure hovered in the center of a 200-foot red lotus avatar as the avatar shot out toward the Sky Shuttle, causing the waves to surge with its energy.

"Ten leaves?! How can we be so unlucky?" Mingshi Yin lamented. He was not afraid of Nine-leaf cultivators, but how was he supposed to fight a Ten-leaf cultivator.

"Don't panic. Increase the altitude of the Sky Shuttle," Si Wuya ordered.

The advantages and disadvantages between the Sky Shuttle and an ordinary flying chariot were revealed at this moment.

One of the requirements for a Sky Shuttle was its ability to reach a high altitude since it was used to cross the Endless Ocean. The high altitude could eliminate danger brought by the sea beasts, after all.

After experiencing a life-or-death situation, everyone remained relatively calm when dealing with a Ten-leaf expert.

The Sky Shuttle creaked as it rose into the sky.

At this moment, the Ten-leaf expert unleashed a grand technique. A red conical appeared above the avatar's head and shot up toward the sky.

"This fellow isn't simple!" Ming Shiyin said.

"Prepare for battle."

At this moment, the Ten-leaf avatar was just thirty meters away from the Sky Shuttle when it suddenly came to a stop in the air. Then, the avatar disappeared before a clear voice rang in the air.

"Nie Qingyun is here to receive the comrades from the Evil Sky Pavilion."

The Sky Shuttle came to a stop.

Si Wuya walked up to the helm and looked down. At this moment, he vaguely remembered some information when he communicated with Meng Changdong. "Ah, he's an ally…"

"You really frightened me." Mingshi Yin patted his chest.

Jiang Aijian exclaimed in shock, "A Ten-leaf expert is just an errand boy?"

Pan Litian chuckled before he said, "That's because our Pavilion Master is too strong. Look at him carefully; see how respectful he is? Remember to maintain the dignity and pride of the Evil Sky Pavilion."

"You have a point."

The Sky Shuttle descended until they drew level with Nie Qingyun.

At this moment, Nie Qingyun saw four elders with heavy auras. Then, his eyes shifted to the few young men with rather strong auras. He thought to himself that the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were, indeed, extraordinary.

Si Wuya was the first to speak. "Sect Master Nie?"

Nie Qingyun was slightly taken aback. He asked, "You recognize me?"

Si Wuya smiled. He did not directly reply to Nie Qingyun's question. Instead, he said, "You're the Sect Master of the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain, a Ten-leaf expert. How can I not recognize you?"

To Si Wuya, knowing oneself and one's enemy was the basics.

Nie Qingyun said, somewhat embarrassed, "You're exaggerating. All of you must be exhausted after such a long journey. Please come with me to the flying chariot. I'll man the helm."

"There's no need for that," Si Wuya shook his head and said, "We'll travel in the Sky Shuttle."

Nie Qingyun said, "That's right! The Sky Shuttle is precious and swift. How can we abandon it? I'll tell my men to return, and I'll return here to lead the way."

Nie Qingyun descended for a moment before he flew into the Sky Shuttle. He was slightly cautious as he walked toward the helm.

Mingshi Yin yawned and said, "Then, I'll have to trouble you. I'll rest for a while."

The four elders left after a flurry of quick greetings.

Si Wuya cupped his fists together and said, "Thank you."

One after another, everyone went to rest or sleep.

At this moment…

Woof! Woof!

Qiong Qi lifted its head and barked perfunctorily twice before it lay down and fell asleep like a dead dog.

While Nie Qingyun manned the helm, he turned back to take a few looks. All of a sudden, he could not help wonder if these people were truly the talented members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

…

Sky Martial Court on Sky Martial Mountain.

It was almost evening at this moment.

Li Yunzheng, disciples from Cloud Mountain and the Thousand Willow Monastery, and several elders from the Sky Martial Academy were waiting silently.

On the other hand, Sikong Beichen, Yu Zhenghai, and the others waited in the Literary Star Hall.

When the Sky Shuttle finally arrived outside of Sky Martial Mountain, someone cried out, "They're here!"

Qiu He, the Sky Martial Court elder, quickly said, "Prepare to welcome them."

Everyone raised their heads and watched as the Sky Shuttle slowly descended. Then, they said and bowed in unison, "Greetings, gentlemen and elders."

At this moment, Nie Qingyun jumped down from the Sky Shuttle and said, "Everyone, we've arrived at the Sky Martial Court."

When the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion saw the rows of people greeting them in the center of the Sky Martial Court, they could not help the pride that rose in their hearts. They straightened their backs as they alighted the Sky Shuttle.

At the same time the four elders alighted from the Sky Shuttle, Meng Changdong stepped forward and said to Li Yunzheng, "These four elders are the elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion."

Bang!

Duanmu Sheng leaped down from the Sky Shuttle and stabbed the Overlord Spear into the ground. Then, he bowed slightly to the crowd.

Meng Changdong continued with the introductions. "This is the Evil Sky Pavilion's third disciple, this is Mister Fourth, the Evil Sky Pavilion's fourth disciple. Don't underestimate the wild beast next to him. It's a terrifying high-level fierce beast."

Li Yunzheng nodded. His words were filled with praise as he said, "I recognize this beast. It's called Qiong Qi. It's a fierce beast with extremely high combat strength. When it matures, it'd be like a tiger with wings. It can soar in the sky and conquer the lands."

The crowd nodded and looked at Qiong Qi in awe.

These words were really pleasing to the ears.

At this moment, Mingshi Yin was like a peacock strutting around with its tails wide open. He turned around and called out, "Doggy, come here!"

Woof! Woof! Woof!

"Silly dog! Hurry up!" Mingshi Yin glared at Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi leaped out of the Sky Shuttle and… completed an elegant move that involved flailing paws before it fell to the ground with a loud plop. Then, it cried out pitifully.

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Mingshi Yin coughed, acting as though he did not see what had just happened. Then, with an expression that said he was not familiar with Qiong Qi, he turned around and walked away.

Upon seeing Mingshi Yin walking away, Qiong Qi, who was afraid of strangers, hurriedly got up and chased after Mingshi Yin.

Meng Changdong glossed over the matter and continued his introductions. "This is Mister Seventh of the Evil Sky Pavilion…"

Si Wuya, who was dressed in a scholarly robe, walked out at this moment.

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Li Yunzheng pushed the crowd aside and hurried to move in front of Si Wuya. Then, he bowed and said, "This student pays respect to teacher."

Unlike the forces in the cultivation world, Li Yunzheng used the words 'student' and 'teacher' when referring to himself and addressing Si Wuya. It was as though he was already prepared to start asking for advice on how to rule the country.
