Lu Zhou looked at Zhao Yue and asked, “Zhao Yue, what do you think?”

Zhao Yue turned to look at Lian Xing. It was true that Lian Xing had saved her, but at the same time, there was no doubt that Lian Xing had also stolen her Great Void energy.

However, before Zhao Yue could reply to Lu Zhou, Lian Xing said, “There’s no need for you to think about it. I’ll return the Great Void energy to you. From now on, we’re even.”

Lu Zhou smacked his hand lightly on the table before he said, “The Great Void energy doesn’t belong to you, and you stole it from her. And yet, you dare to speak so righteously? I understand you’re still young, and you don’t know what’s right or wrong. Although you’re well mannered, you’re really shameless. I’m not your parents so I won’t care about your feelings. Take her away; we’ll take back the Great Void energy another day.”

“Understood.”

“All of you are dismissed. We’ll return to the Evil Sky Pavilion tomorrow.”

“Understood.”

…

At night.

Lu Zhou activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic to recover his supreme mystic power as quickly as he could. Without the supreme mystic power, he lacked a sense of security.

At the same time, he looked at his merit points on the system interface.

Merit points: 155,400

He had gained over 100,000 merit points today. Apart from that, he had gained six fire spirit stones as well. His profit today was rather huge.

After a while, he shook his head. Now was not the time to think about how he should spend his merit points. He had to focus on recovering his supreme mystic power.

Although it was good that Shen Xi and Li Xiamo joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, there was also a hidden danger. The black lotus brands on their bodies might lead the Black Tower Council to him. If nothing unusual happened, the supreme mystic power should be able to remove the brands.

…

The next morning.

Before Lu Zhou opened his eyes, Zhao Yue called out from outside the hall, “Master, the flying chariot is ready.”

“Alright.” Lu Zhou opened his eyes. After sensing the supreme mystic power, he discovered he had recovered about half of it. He was rather satisfied with this.

He wondered inwardly, “How fast would it be if the Purple Glazed Ceramic is upgraded to the fusion grade?”

Alas, fire spirit stones could not be used on flood-grade weapons. This led to the question of how to upgrade a flood-grade weapon to a fusion-grade weapon?

‘What about the system?’ In the past, the system had rewarded him with the Shining Stone, the fire spirit stone, and the refining talisman. It stood to reason that the system should have the materials needed to upgrade a flood-grade weapon to the fusion grade.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou dismissed his thoughts and rose to his feet before stretching his limbs. He felt pretty good. After using the Reversal Cards previously, he had felt a lot more comfortable.

‘Perhaps, I should use all my merit points on Reversal Cards…’ Previously, he could not use too many Reversal Cards since he was not strong enough and was afraid of arousing suspicion. However, would there be anyone who was bold enough to doubt him now?

After a moment, he left the hall and left the Imperial palace on the cloud-splitting chariot with Zhao Yue, Shen Xi, and the others.

…

At the same time, news of the return of the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion spread like a wildfire in Great Yan’s Divine Capital.

One spread to ten, ten spread to 100… the speed of the news spreading was astonishing!

In the relay station.

“Did you hear? Old Demon Ji is back! After he returned, those cultivators who were causing trouble in the Imperial palace yesterday have all been chased away. The traces of battle could be seen for miles…”

“You’re really bold! You dare to call him Old Demon Ji?”

“It’s just a slip of the tongue…”

Meanwhile, a few cultivators outside of the relay station whispered to each other.

“Inform the Sect Master that the Patriarch has returned.”

“Understood.”

…

It was almost afternoon when the barrier on Golden Court Mountain appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Lu Zhou rested one hand on his back as he stroked his beard and looked at the mountains and land.

The blazing sun shone down on the land. The mountain peaks towered in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist. The ancient pine trees were tall and straight, and the rocks were strange and rugged. It was like scenery from a painting.

Lu Zhou could not help but sigh emotionally inwardly now that he was home.

All of a sudden, Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo cried out in unison, “Birth Chart Beast!”

The duo flew out of the cloud-splitting chariot as soon as they saw Cheng Huang near Golden Court Mountain. A pleasantly surprised expression could be seen on both their faces at this moment as soon as they saw Cheng Huang. It seemed like this reaction was from some sort of occupational disease from their previous jobs.

“Pavilion Master, there’s no need for you to act. I’ll deal with this Birth Chart Beast!” Shen Xi said eagerly.

Zhao Yue hurriedly said, “Guardian Shen, please wait for a moment.”

“???”

“That’s my Sixth Junior Sister’s mount. It’s not just a Birth Chart Beast,” Zhao Yue explained.

“M-mount?” Shen Xi was dumbfounded.

Zhao Yue said, “Don’t forget this is the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Golden Court Mountain. You have to mentally prepare yourself for the things you’ll see here…”

With these words, Shen Xi hurriedly cupped his fists together and said, “Thank you for your reminder.”

Shen Xi sighed in relief inwardly. ‘That was close. If I’ve acted too quickly, I wouldn’t even know how I died…’

Apart from that, Shen Xi felt amazed as well. What kind of peerless figure could tame Cheng Huang and make Cheng Huang into a mount? Let alone Birth Chart Beasts, it was already incredibly difficult to tame ordinary fierce beasts. It was 100 times or even 1,000 times harder to tame a Birth Chart Beast. However, when his eyes landed on Di Jiang that was in the cloud-splitting chariot as well, he reminded himself that he was now in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He could not use common sense to judge the Evil Sky Pavilion.

When the cloud-splitting chariot entered the Evil Sky Pavilion’s barrier, a white figure led a crowd of people and bowed.

“Welcome back, Pavilion Master!”

“Welcome back, master.”

Lu Zhou disembarked from the cloud-splitting chariot and appeared before everyone’s eyes.

An expression of surprise appeared on Ye Tianxin’s face when she saw Lu Zhou’s black hair.

Similarly, the others were shocked as well.

Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need for formalities.”

With these words, everyone straightened their backs.

At this time, Ye Tianxin asked warily when she saw the new faces, “Who are these people?”

Zhao Yue smiled as she introduced the two newcomers. “These two are the new Guardians of the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

“I’m Shen Xi, nice to meet you.”

“I’m Li Xiaomo, nice to meet you.”

The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion responded accordingly.

Following that, Lian Xing remained silent and expressionless as she was brought to the Cave of Reflection.

At this moment, Lu Zhou called out, “Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng.”

“Yes, Pavilion Master.”

“Both of you, arrange the accommodation for the two guardians.”

“Understood.”

After saying that, Lu Zhou made his way to the eastern pavilion.

On the other hand, Ye Tianxin invited Zhao Yue to chat.

After being put in charge of hospitality and suffering many losses, Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong only needed to look at Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo once to figure out how they should behave. Both of them bowed respectfully and said, “Greetings, Guardians.”

Shen Xi, who kept reminding himself that he could not judge based on appearances in the Evil Sky Pavilion, bowed and said, “No, no, you’re too polite!”

“No, no, no… Guardians, we’re not worthy of such an honor. Please follow me. I’ll personally arrange your accommodation,” Pan Zhong said with a smile.

“No, no, no. It’s fine. You don’t have to personally oversee it,” Shen Xi said.

“No, no, no. How can we be careless in our treatment of the Guardians of the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Zhou Jifeng chimed in.

“Both of you are too courteous. I feel embarrassed.”

The four men kept nodding and bowing to each other, causing the female disciples in the surroundings to be confused.

Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng then led everyone to the southern pavilion.

On the way there, Pan Zhong briefly introduced the four pavilions in the Evil Sky Pavilion to Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo.

“Guardians, the southern pavilion is the residence of the Pavilion Master’s disciples. Apart from that, only the elders and guardians can stay here. The others aren’t qualified. Please come in…”

“Disciples?” Shen Xi asked, puzzled.

Pan Zhong did not dare to underestimate this seemingly tender newcomer. Instead, he patiently explained, “The Pavilion Master has ten outstanding disciples. The white-clad lady earlier is the Pavilion Master’s sixth disciple. We address her as Miss Sixth.”

Swoosh!

At this moment, a huge shadow loomed over everyone. When they looked up, they saw a huge head looking down at them, and their bodies stiffened immediately.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Cheng Huang looked at them and sniffed their bodies before it shook its head as though it was disgusted by their smell. Following that, it flew into the distance without looking back.

Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo. “…”

Pan Zhong said, “That’s Cheng Huang. Miss Sixth’s mount.”

Shen Xi was surprised now that he got a closer look at Cheng Huang and discovered it was not an ordinary Birth Chart Beast. With this discovery, the Evil Sky Pavilion grew even more mysterious and unfathomable.

Zhou Jifeng took over and said, “The woman who came back with you is the Pavilion Master’s fifth disciple. We call her Miss Fifth. Don’t underestimate her just because her cultivation base is low, she’s…”

Shen Xi hurriedly interjected, “I understand, I understand!”

How could Shen Xi not understand? That woman had Great Void energy. In the future, there was no doubt she would be a prominent figure!

Seeing Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo’s attitude, Pan Zhong had a very good impression of the duo. He could not help but feel like there were brothers! He nodded before he asked, “I can tell both of you are experienced people with just a look. If you don’t mind, I can ask what are your cultivation bases?”

Upon hearing this question, an embarrassed expression appeared on Shen Xi’s face as he said in a low voice, “My cultivation base is low. I hope you won’t laugh at me.”

“Don’t worry. We’re used to it. After all, this is the Evil Sky Pavilion. We can’t judge them using common sense,” Pan Zhong said, feeling a sense of camaraderie with the two newcomers.

“You’re right,” Shen Xi said in a hushed voice as though he was worried others would overhear him, “I’m in the Mystic Realm, and I’m a Four Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator. How embarrassing…”

Li Xiaomo seemed even more embarrassed as he said, “I… I only have three Birth Charts. I… I-I’m really sorry for dragging everyone down…”

Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng. “???”
