Little Yuan’er giggled and moved to Lu Zhou’s side. She said, “Third Senior Brother, you should thank master for giving you the Overlord Spear since it helped your avatar to sprout a leaf!”

When Little Yuan’er mentioned the Overlord Spear, the others were filled with envy. The highlight of the battle was the Overlord Spear after all.

The two Dark Knights, Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong, accepted their defeat gracefully. After all, they had been beaten up by a monster like Duanmu Sheng. Moreover, he was armed with a heaven-grade weapon!

Duanmu Sheng nodded. “You’re right, Little Junior Sister. My Imperfect Divine Intervention is a far cry from master’s strength. If it weren’t for the Overlord Spear, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat those two.”

Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong looked up with great difficulty. When they saw the bound Fan Xiuwen, they looked frightened. Why was the leader of the Black Knights, a person with an Eight-leaf avatar, powerless to fight back? At the very least, they had fought fiercely with their Two and Three-leaf avatars even though they were defeated in the end. With their leader’s cultivation base, he should have been able to fight with Ji Tiandao for three days and three nights before the results were clear. They could not be blamed for being unaware of what had happened in the hall of Evil Sky Pavilion since they were engrossed in their battle.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou was still standing inside the great hall as though it was just another normal day. He looked at Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong before he said coldly, “Seal their cultivation bases.”

“Understood.” Duanmu Sheng cupped his hands together.

At this moment, Pan Zhong stepped forward and said, “Leave this to me. I’m an expert in this… A cultivator’s cultivation base essentially circulates Primal Qi from their dantian’s sea of Qi through their Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The conventional method of sealing the eight meridians isn’t as easy as it looks. Many cunning characters like to tweak their dantians so they can unblock their sealed meridians.”

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back as he nodded and said, “Indeed, the Clarity Sect’s meridian sealing technique has its unique strong points.”

Pan Zhong felt even more motivated when he heard Lu Zhou’s praise.

Yue Chong glared at Pan Zhong and said, “The Clarity Sect is a prestigious sect of the Noble Path. How can the sect have a traitor like you?”

These words pricked Pan Zhong’s sore point. “Shut up, loser!” He moved quickly and cast his meridian sealing technique.

Duanmu Sheng stood at the side as he held the Overlord Spear upside down. He kept a close eye on the two Dark Knights. If they made any sudden movements, he would instantly turn them into two dead souls.

It did not take long before Pan Zhong sealed Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong’s cultivation bases. He was only a Divine Court realm cultivator so he nearly spent all his energy sealing two Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elites’ cultivation bases. He did not have any Primal Qi left at this moment. After he wiped the sweat off his forehead, he cupped his hands together and said, “Pavilion Master, I’ve sealed their eight meridians. Nobody can unblock them except for me.”

Lu Zhou merely waved his hand, and Pan Zhong returned to his spot.

Then, Lu Zhou said, “Lock them up. Keep them under constant supervision.” Even with their cultivation bases sealed, he wanted someone to keep an eye on them at all times. It was good for Pan Zhong to feel confident but being overconfident could lead to being conceited.

“Understood.” Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng stepped forward to bring the two away. Without their cultivation bases, they were like a piece of meat on a chopping board.

Lu Zhou returned to his throne in the great hall. He sat down slowly and called out, “Ye Tianxin.”

Ye Tianxin shuddered. Perhaps, it was due to her weakened state, but she seemed to be in great pain. When Lu Zhou called her name, she got off the chair and fell on her knees. She said emotionally, “Ma-master…”

Lu Zhou shook his head with an indifferent expression on his face, ignoring Ye Tianxin. Instead, he looked at Fan Xiuwen. He said, “Leng Luo, I’ve given you many chances. Since you don’t cherish them, don’t blame me for being cruel.”

Fan Xiuwen forced himself to stand up. The Binding Cage kept him restrained like a Band-tightening Spell. He said, “Old senior, there’s no need to waste your breath. Since I’ve been defeated, I deserve to die.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “A person with an Eight-leaf avatar is willing to keep a secret for someone in the palace. Is this person worth throwing your life away?” At this point, he did not think he would be able to discover the mastermind’s identity. It must be one hell of a secret for an elite with an Eight-leaf avatar to guard this secret with his life. He would have to find another way to investigate this matter.

Fan Xiuwen said, “At this point, it’s meaningless to exchange any words.”

Lu Zhou shook his head. His manner was as cold as ever.

At this moment, a system notification suddenly popped up.

“Ding! Mingshi Yin has killed a target in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. Rewarded 1,000 merit points.”

Lu Zhou did not show any emotion when he heard this. He only shook his head as he said, “The Dark Knight, Chen Zhonghe, do you think he’s still alive?”

Fan Xiuwen thought Lu Zhou was trying to attack him psychologically. He turned away with a scoff. “Chen Zhonghe is highly skilled. Although Mingshi Yin is very powerful, he shouldn’t have left the great hall… The wider the space, the more advantageous it is for Chen Zhonghe. You’ve killed Li Qing, and Chen Zhonghe will kill Mingshi Yin. I guess we’re even now.”

Little Yuan’er could not stand to hear these words and cursed instantly, “Bullsh*t! Anyone can brag…”

“Brag?” Fan Xiuwen chuckled before he said with his hoarse voice, “Little girl, the Evil Sky Pavilion is indeed very powerful, but it has turned you into a frog in the well. When I traveled under the heavens unfettered many years ago, even your master couldn’t stop me. Hm? Why are you glaring at me?”

Little Yuan’er turned away huffily and suddenly looked outside the great hall.

Although Fan Xiuwen was restrained by the Binding Cage, it did not stop him from turning his head when he discovered Duanmu Sheng, Ye Tianxin, and the female cultivators from the Derived Moon Palace were looking outside the great hall as well.

Mingshi Yin had appeared at the entrance, and the light shone on him as he slowly walked in. It was clear that he was in a battered state, his robes were stained red with blood. He held a short knife in his right hand that was still dripping with blood.

Upon seeing this. Fan Xiuwen frowned, and his heart began to race. He wanted to make a move, but the Overlord Spear’s tip suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

“If you want to die, one thrust from the spear is all it takes to kill you,” Duanmu Sheng said threateningly.

At this moment, Mingshi Yin had walked into the great hall, looking slightly exhausted. However, a hint of glee could be seen on his face. He was clearly pleased by his victory. He placed the knife on the floor and said, “I didn’t kill Chen Zhonghe on purpose… He was hiding a top earth-grade weapon. I had no choice but to kill him out of self-defense.”

Fan Xiuwen’s eye twitched uncontrollably. He had thought Chen Yonghe’s victory was certain. After all, Mingshi Yin had no weapon, and he had not sprouted any leaves on his avatar yet. On the other hand, Chen Zhonghe was the Dark Knight with the most profound cultivation base. Chen Zhonghe had a peak Three-leaf avatar, and he possessed an earth-grade weapon! He began to cough violently, unable to accept this outcome. His surging Qi and blood brought him unbearable pain.

The female cultivators from the Derived Moon Palace were greatly shocked. They did not know the Evil Sky Pavilion was this powerful! The Derived Moon Palace was too insignificant in comparison.

After listening to Mingshi Yin’s report, Lu Zhou merely offered a small praise. “Not bad.”

Mingshi Yin was delighted to hear this. His expression brightened as he said, “Master, this earth-grade weapon is extremely precious. I’d like to refine it.”

Fan Xiuwen roared, “You dare?!”

Little Yuan’er quickly retorted, “Really? You’re trying to intimidate us at this stage?”

Chen Zhonghe who had died would turn in his grave if he knew his weapon was going to be refined!

However, Mingshi Yin could not have cared less about these things. “I ask for your permission, master!”
