Gu Yiran had nowhere to run or hide. He was already at the end of the road. He inhaled deeply before he raised his right hand to have a look. Soon enough, he calmed down, and a fierce expression appeared on his face as well. His change of attitude made it clear he no longer cared about life or death.

“I’ve never used this technique before… Since Sect Master Yu’s forcing me into a corner, I have no choice… I hope this will satisfy you,” Gu Yiran said as he raised his left hand and struck his dantian’s sea of Qi.

Bam!

Gu Yiran’s sea of Qi ignited at once. Expansive Heavenly Energy surged from his body like burning flames. His eyes became bloodshot; his tendons and bones seemed to have undergone transformations as well.

A shocked expression appeared on Huang Shijie’s face upon seeing this. He hastily said, “Sect Master Yu, you should dodge this.”

Yu Zhenghai ignored Huang Shijie’s advice. He remained calm. He had faced many elites in life, after all. The cultivation world was largely divided into the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist sects. Each sect had its own specialties. He had met many elites like Gu Yiran in the past. For this reason, he did not have any reaction to Gu Yiran.

The flaming Expansive Heavenly Energy emitted a domineering aura. Just as Gu Yiran was about to attack…

Whoosh!

The Jasper Saber shone with a mysterious light before it shot out and neatly slashed Gu Yiran’s neck. It was so fast that he did not even have time to react.

Just like that, the battle had ended.

Yu Zhenghai no longer spared Gu Yiran another glance. He turned around indifferently and made his way to the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Huang Shijie regarded Gu Yiran with a complex look in his eyes. ‘That’s it?’

At this moment, Gu Yiran’s head slid off his neck.

Although Huang Shijie was the Island Master of Penglai Island, he was still slightly taken aback by this gory side. He turned away and hurriedly caught up to Yu Zhenghai.

Yu Zhenghai said conversationally, “You underestimated me, Island Master Huang. Gu Yiran planned to fight with all his might by burning his sea of Qi and blood essence. If I allow him to act, it’d be troublesome to deal with him. I don’t have much free time so I won’t play along with his silly game. It’s easier to end it with a single strike. He was going to die anyway.”

“That was an impressive move, Sect Master Yu. My horizons have been widened,” Huang Shijie replied.

Yu Zhenghai stopped in his tracks suddenly. He looked at Huang Shijie and asked, “How have you been since our last meeting, Brother Huang?”

There was no doubt that Huang Shijie had been a great help to Yu Zhenghai.

Huang Shijie smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to Brother Ji holding up the island with his hand that Penglai was saved from its crisis.”

“That’s good to hear,” Yu Zhenghai replied.

“I have to thank you as well, Sect Master Yu, for your timely arrival. That Gu Yiran was slightly troublesome to deal with,” Huang Shijie said.

Yu Zhenghai said bluntly, “Since we’re brothers, you can just address me as brother. Sect Master Yu sounds too formal.”

Huang Shijie was slightly taken aback. He truly did not care about the form of address one way or another. However, since he addressed Ji Tiandao as Brother Ji, if he were to address Yu Zhenghai as brother as well, would that not make Ji Tiandao and Yu Zhenghai brother as well? How awkward!

Yu Zhenghai could tell what was going through Huang Shijie’s mind. He patted Huang Shijie’s shoulder and said, “There’s no need to worry, Brother Huang. We’ll keep this separate from my master.”

“I… I see…” Despite his words, Huang Shijie still felt uncomfortable.

Yu Zhenghai laughed and said, “Let’s go.”

“Did you come all the way from Yan Province?” Huang Shijie asked.

“Yes. I came here as quickly as I could, but it took longer than expected. What’s the situation at the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Yu Zhenghai asked as he took to the sky.

Huang Shijie followed suit as he shook his head and said with a sigh, “Things aren’t looking great. It’s Emperor Yong Shou; he’s alive!”

“Hm?”

“He seems to have mastered some method to prolong his life. It’s an extremely arcane art. Brother Ji is still in his cultivation state. The cultivation bases of the others aren’t profound enough. I fear for their lives,” Huang Shijie said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenghai frowned and said in a deep voice, “Brother Huang, I’ll make my way there first.” Without waiting for Huang Shijie’s reply, he appeared hundreds of feet away with a flurry of movements. In just a blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.

Huang Shijie was shocked by Yu Zhenghai’s successive use of his grand technique. He unhurriedly made his way to the Evil Sky Pavilion since he had almost depleted his Primal Qi. Moreover, he would not be of much help even if he was at the Evil Sky Pavilion now. He murmured to himself, “It seems like the Evil Sky Pavilion has been restored to its former glory… This is how an Eldest Senior Brother should behave…”

Huang Shijie’s words inevitably reminded himself of his first disciple, Jiang Aijian. He turned his head to the side with a slightly contemptuous expression on his face. “Ptooey…”

Comparisons would only bring forth misery.

…

Penglai Island.

Jiang Aijian shuddered and sneezed before he rose to his feet. “Who the f*ck’s badmouthing me?”

He saw Li Jingyi tickling his nose with a feather with a smile on her face. She asked, “Are you still sleeping at this hour?”

Jiang Aijian moved the feather away from his face and said, “Stop this, junior sister…”

“Eldest Senior Brother, the battle of Yan Province is at hand. Aren’t you going to give me some pointers?”

Ever since Li Jingyi entered the palace and stayed by Wei Zhuoyan’s side in the army, she had always received tips from Jiang Aijian. Wei Zuoyan became the commander-in-chief of the three armies with Li Jingyi’s help. With the death of the real Wei Zhuoyan, the fake Wei Zhuoyan’s status was merely a shadow of what it once was. However, Li Jingyi did not change.

“Old senior Ji has helped us greatly in the past, we have to let him win. I’m afraid Wei Zhuoyan would obey the palace’s orders. You can just disappear and let him handle it,” Jiang Aijian said.

“You’re not concerned about the Imperial family?” Li Jingyi asked.

Jiang Aijian was the Third Prince, after all.

“I’m not.” Jiang Aijian leaned back on his chair indifferently. He rested his head against the seat, attempting to go back to sleep, after he said, “Let me know when master returns! His chair is a really good sleeping spot.”

“…”

…

Inside the southern pavilion of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

“Master, Sixth Junior Sister’s condition doesn’t look so good. If we let this go on, I’m afraid…” Mingshi Yin had examined Ye Tianxin earlier. He was clearly worried.

Lu Zhou looked at Mingshi Yin and said, “Old Fourth, go and clean up the mountain. If anyone comes, report to me.”

“Yes, master.” Mingshi Yin turned around and left at once.

Zuo Yushu stood in front of everyone and said, “The script seal’s golden dragon is a fierce move. We can only restore her vitality after dealing with the golden dragon’s effect. Alas, it’s too late.”

Leng Luo recalled the scene when the pavilion master healed Princess Yong Ning so he asked, “Pavilion Master, why don’t you use your healing technique again?”

Lu Zhou looked at him and said, “If there’s nothing else, get out, all of you.”

“Understood.” The others bowed and left the southern pavilion respectfully.

Only a few dozen female cultivators remained inside the southern pavilion. They kneeled on the floor and kowtowed at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou looked at them as he said, “She’s my disciple. I won’t let her die so easily. Get out.”

“Understood.” The female cultivators left.

The southern pavilion fell silent.

Lu Zhou walked into the room. When he saw the white-haired and unconscious Ye Tianxin, he frowned deeply.

Lu Zhou flipped his palm. A Strengthened Critical Heal Card materialized in his hand. He shattered the card, and light enveloped her immediately.

A unique and mystical power swirled around Ye Tianxin and nourished her Extraordinary Eight Meridians. The corrosive effect of the script seal’s golden dragon was being purged. Her internal injuries were also healing at an alarming rate.
