Chapter 1316: A Junior Who Doesn’t Know How to Respect His Elders
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most of the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion did not know what the dazzling golden token was, but based on Zhi Wenzi’s reaction, they knew it was definitely not a simple thing.
Kong Wen who seemed to know what the golden token was explained in a low voice, “I heard that the emperor of Great Qin gave four golden tokens to four different people. Rumor has it that one of them was given to Madam Qi.”
“Madam Qi?” Mings.h.i.+ Yin was puzzled.
“Young Master Zhao’s mother,” Kong Wen replied.
“Is that thing very powerful?”
Kong Wen continued to explain in a low voice, “There’s a rumor in the cultivation world that the golden token is like the emperor of Great Qin. With the golden token, you freely enter and exit the palace. You can even avoid death sentences with it.”
Everyone was surprised by this explanation. To think such a small token held so much power. Then, they s.h.i.+fted their eyes to Zhi Wenzi and the others. They thought Zhi Wenzi and the others would have to leave now.
After recovering from his surprise, Zhi Wenzi said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Young Master Zhao to be in possession of the golden token.”
Zhao Yu did not waste words with Zhi Wenzi. He only said, “Get lost.”
Zhi Wenzi continued to say, “Unfortunately, His Majesty has ordered for the golden token to be returned!”
Then, Zhi Wenzi waved his hand.
The cultivators in the flying chariot flew out to the sky above the Zhao Residence, ready to attack.
Zhao Yu did not expect this turn of events. He shouted, “You dare?!”
Zhi Wenzi cupped his fists together as he said, “Young Master, I’ll personally apologize to His Majesty later. If you have anything to say, you can say it in front of His Majestic.” Then, he turned to Zou Ping and said, “General Zou, the facts are clear now.”
Zou Ping sighed and nodded. “I’ll obey His Majesty’s orders.”
Zou Ping lifted his hand.
The winged cavalry moved at the same time.
The majestic sight caused the blood of the cultivators watching from afar to boil in excitement.
Each and every one of the warhorses and their riders was awe-inspiring. They looked like a battle machine as they hovered above the Zhao Residence. It was as though the sky above the Zhao Residence was their personal battlefield. The killing intent surging from their bodies felt as dangerous as the threats from the Unknown Land.
The atmosphere was heavy and gloomy.
Zhao Yu was furious. “You!”
The golden token was Zhao Yu’s ultimate move. If it was useless, then there was nothing else he could do. It also proved one thing to him: the emperor of Great Qin had never taken him seriously.
Zhao Yu found it laughable and slightly sad. Since the emperor of Great Qin did not care, why not end his relations.h.i.+p with them, mother and son? What was the point of leading them on before letting his lackeys toy with them?
At this time, three cavalrymen flew forward and surrounded Mings.h.i.+ Yin, who was standing near Xi Qishu’s corpse, from three directions. Their speed was astonis.h.i.+ng.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin did not expect the other party to attack so quickly. He brought out his Separation Hook, ready to resist.
At the moment the three cavalrymen were about to attack, a green figure flitted past the three cavalrymen at even more exaggerated and extreme speed.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The speed was beyond everyone’s understanding.
At the same time, a streak of red light shot out behind a golden halo.
The three cavalrymen stopped moving immediately, hovering at a low alt.i.tude.
“?”
Most people could not capture the movements and were unaware of what had happened. Only a few people with high cultivation bases wore surprised expressions on their faces when they saw this scene.
The one who had flitted past the three cavalrymen was none other than Sword Devil Yu Shangrong, the second disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Yu Shangrong appeared to the left of the three cavalrymen, holding his Longevity Sword. His back was facing them; a skilled swordsman did not need to look to know the outcome as soon as he made a move. He smiled faintly as he loosened his grip around the Longevity Sword. As though it had consciousness, it returned to its scabbard.
Meanwhile, the three cavalrymen wore horrified expressions on their faces.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The armor cracked before blood spurted out from the cracks. With that, the three cavalrymen fell from their warhorses.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The warhorses grew restless and began to neigh in panic. Their panicked neighing seemed to affect the remaining 97 warhorses. With that, all the warhorses panicked and neighed; someone even rose on their two hind legs. Just like that, their neat formation was broken.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The three awe-inspiring cavalrymen fell to the ground, heavily injured.
“Zhi Wenzi!” Zou Ping said angrily.
“I’ll save them!” Zhi Wenzi hurriedly said.
It was not scary to lose a Birth Chart. However, if the serious injuries were not treated, they might lose all their Birth Charts and die.
Zhi Wenzi launched three energy seals toward the three injured cavalrymen.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
At this time, Qiong Qi suddenly grew several times bigger before flying toward the three cavalrymen on the ground. Then, it bared its fangs before it tore into them in a frenzy.
“…”
Everyone was shocked by this sight.
Although Zhi Wenzi’s healing energy seals had landed on three cavalrymen, the speed of their healing could not keep up with Qiong Qi’s speed of destruction.
Qiong Qi bit one of the cavalrymen’s necks before swinging him back and forth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Qiong Qi loosened his bite, tossing the b.l.o.o.d.y cavalrymen away.
The other two cavalrymen suffered a similar fate.
Woof!
Qiong Qi pawed the ground. Its eyes glinted coldly as it bared its b.l.o.o.d.y fangs.
Zou Ping roared, “Wretched beast! How dare you attack my people?”
Zou Ping leaped off his warhorse and dove from the sky. His entire body was shrouded by green energy. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi. He quickly joined his palms together. Following that, a green dagger shot toward Qiong Qi at lightning speed.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin tossed the Separation Hook, which was glowing with a golden light, to block the green dagger.
Zou Ping seemed to have expected this. He flashed forward, moving at a speed that was faster than the green dagger. He struck as soon as he arrived in front of Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
Bang!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin flew back, coughing up blood.
“You didn’t lose your Birth Chart? Very well. I’m going to destroy one now!” Zou Ping moved again.
Everyone thought Zou Ping was going to attack Mings.h.i.+ Yin again when he suddenly switched directions and arrived next to Qiong Qi in just a blink of an eye. He launched several energy seals, sending Qiong Qi flying.
Qiong Qi rolled several times on the ground.
Everyone retreated, looking at Zou Ping as though they were facing a great enemy.
Zou Ping turned to look at Yu Shangrong who was hovering in the sky and said, “You better come down now.”
Swoos.h.!.+
A huge golden saber flew over from the side.
Zou Ping dodged the saber.
As though the saber had already predicted this, it suddenly flipped and shot out horizontally.
Bang!
Zou Ping exploded with energy seals. He used his arms to block the saber and was pushed several steps back.
Everyone turned to look at the owner of the saber, Yu Zhenghai.
Yu Zhenghai waved his hand, and the Jasper Saber flew back to him. Following that, he said with a smile, “You’re quite strong.”
Zou Ping sized Yu Zhenghai up before he scoffed. “Since you’re all accomplices, no one’s allowed to leave today!”
Zou Ping raised his hand.
The remaining 97 cavalrymen rushed down toward the Zhao Residence immediately. They landed in a neat row next to the three warhorses. Following that, their silver armor lit up one after another.
Swoos.h.!.+
Zou Ping ignored Yu Zhenghai and charged toward Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin hurriedly smacked his hand on the ground.
Boom!
Bluewood formed a tall wall in front of Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
Zou Ping charged through the wall of Bluewood, reducing them to pieces of wood. However, he could not find Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
At this moment, Little Yuan’er’s indignant voice rang in the air.
“Master, it’s them!”
Everyone turned in the direction of the crisp and clear voice. They saw Lu Zhou, who was dressed in a long robe, walking over with his hands on his back. His extraordinary bearing could hardly be concealed.
Little Yuan’er and Conch walked next to Lu Zhou.
Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion bowed.
“Greetings, master.”
“Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
Bang!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin emerged from the ground nearby. A mischievous smile could be seen on his face as he asked, “Master, why are you here?”
Lu Zhou did not know much about the current situation. His knowledge was limited to what Litttle Yuan’er had told him. All she had said was something about some people bringing Xi Qishu’s corpse here to look for trouble.
Lu Zhou glanced at Mings.h.i.+ Yin. When he saw the traces of blood at the corner of Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s lip, he shook his head.
Upon seeing Lu Zhou’s gaze, Mings.h.i.+ Yin scratched his head and said sheepishly, “I didn’t practice hard enough. I’m sorry for disappointing you, master.”
Lu Zhou continued to advance. He saw four corpses on the ground: they belonged to Xi Qishu and the three cavalrymen. Their armor was cracked, and they were drenched in blood. The state of their corpses was rather miserable. Then, he saw Qiong Qi lying on the ground in the distance, licking its body.
Qiong Qi whimpered as though it was crying and complaining.
Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. “Old sir, why are you here?”
Lu Zhou ignored Zhao Yu. Based on the scene, it looked like the Evil Sky Pavilion had the upper hand, but it was clearly not the case. He shook his head before he pointed at Zou Ping, who was clearly the most arrogant person among the enemy’s party, and asked, “What’s your name?”
Zou Ping had never been pointed at in such a manner before. Even when he was with the emperor of Great Qin, the emperor would call him ‘his esteemed general’. Even the Venerable Masters were polite to him. Hence, how could he reply to Lu Zhou’s question?
Lu Zhou continued to ask, “Were you the one who injured my disciple?”
Zou Ping pointed at Mings.h.i.+ Yin and finally spoke. “Is he your disciple?”
“As a junior, you have no respect for your elders,” Lu Zhou only said this before he pushed his hand out.
Abandoned Wisdom that had been imbued with divine power shot out of Lu Zhou’s hand that shone with a golden light like a golden dragon. It seemed to carry the weight of Mount Tai.
Zou Ping’s expression changed immediately when he felt the pressure from the palm seal. He hurriedly raised his hand to stop the palm seal.
Boom!
