Lu Zhou was slightly surprised to hear the system’s notifications. When Ji Tiandao taught his disciples their cultivation methods, he withheld many details from them. Apart from suppressing their cultivation bases, he also restricted their possessions of weapons.
Lu Zhou’s disciples were, naturally, shocked when they saw he was no longer suppressing their strength or deliberately hindering their cultivation progress.
After completing the cultivation methods, Lu Zhou placed the brush down. He stroked his beard and said, “I’ve completed your cultivation methods. Don’t disappoint me after this!”
The three disciples kneeled in unison. “We won’t let you down, master!”
...
Meanwhile, in the Divine Capital.
An Imperial family’s flying chariot rose slowly from the Divine Capital’s Prince Qi’s Mansion. The flying chariot was surrounded by many cultivators on all sides. They formed an extensive and square formation around it. The flag of Prince Qi’s Mansion fluttered in the air as the flying chariot flew away from the Divine Capital.
When he saw this, Si Wuya smiled faintly. “Eldest Senior Brother is certainly skilled and bold. I didn’t think he’d actually go to Prince Qi’s Mansion.”
“Sect Master, should we give chase?”
“No need... Wait here.”
“Understood.”
Si Wuya walked on air. He made his way to the huge flying chariot with the mysterious box in his hand.
The flying chariot was massive. Usually, flying chariots were built with an emphasis on the display of magnificence and comfort. Speed-wise, it was not the swiftest means of transport.
Si Wuya had no trouble catching up to it.
The people in the Divine Capital were used to seeing the Imperial family’s flying chariot in the skies.
A middle-aged man dressed in black robes with a chiseled face stood at the front of the flying chariot. He surveyed the lands below him.
A female subordinate standing next to him said with a bow, “Sect Master, it’ll take us six hours to reach Pingdu Mountain from the Divine Capital. You should get some rest.”
The middle-aged man pointed at the Divine Capital and said, “It’s been a while since I left Pingdu Mountain. Let me indulge in the scenery of the rivers and mountains...”
“Understood.”
“It’s only when you’re standing on this flying chariot that you’ll feel compelled to take this all in... If you stand at the top, even the Divine Capital will be beneath your feet,” the middle-aged man said slowly.
“You’re right, Sect Master.”
“Forget it... You’re boring,” he said as he thought to himself, ‘No matter what I say to them, they’ll just bow and agree. None of them have an opinion of their own. This is dull.’
“Sect Master, someone’s approaching us.” A voice from nearby rang in the air.
The middle-aged man shook his head indifferently. “Kill him.”
“This man has a profound cultivation base. He says that you’ll certainly meet him.”
“Interesting.” The middle-aged man walked to the other side of the flying chariot with his hands on his back. He saw a man with a mysterious box who was surrounded by his guards.
Five of the middle-aged man’s guards hovered around the flying chariot as they guarded against the newcomers.
“Eldest Senior Brother, long time no see.” Si Wuya projected his voice.
“Let him in.”
“Understood!” The five great protectors moved aside.
Si Wuya arrived at the flying chariot safely with swift movements.
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother.” Si Wuya waved his arm casually, and the mysterious box landed on the flying chariot slowly. He bowed toward the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was none other than the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Yu Zhenghai. He was the master of the Nether Sect.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at Si Wuya and said, “You strike me as a busy man. Why do you have the time to visit me in the Divine Capital today?”
“You’re joking, Eldest Senior Brother. I can’t really say the Darknet is giving me many things to do. You, on the other hand, went to the trouble of traveling long distance. You left Pingdu Mountain and personally visited Prince Qi’s Mansion,” Si Wuya said.
Two subordinates quickly prepared two chairs on the flying chariot’s deck. Yu Zhenghai motioned for Si Wuya to take a seat.
“Your Second Senior Brother killed one of my men... If I don’t personally come here, knowing his temper, I’m afraid that I’ll lose more men.” When Yu Zhenghai mentioned Yu Shangrong, there was a sharp edge to his voice.
“Please calm down, Eldest Senior Brother... He killed Sword Freak Chen Wenjie because he aligned himself with the Nether Sect on the surface, but he was secretly colluding with the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects... Second Senior Brother helped you eliminate a mole from your ranks. It’s a good thing,” Si Wuya said.
Yu Zhenghai said indifferently, “I’m aware of Chen Wenjie’s background... He was but a pawn. At the very least, I could openly restrict the Clarity Sect’s elites... Although your Second Senior Brother is an amicable person, he’s stupid. His mind is far too simple. He’ll never be able to figure out my thoughts.”
“You’re right, Eldest Senior Brother...” Si Wuya said with a smile.
“Old Seventh... let me ask you something.”
“Ask away, Eldest Senior Brother. I’ll tell you anything and everything I know,” Si Wuya said goodnaturedly.
“You’ve always been able to see the bigger picture. Do you think that your Second Senior Brother is right?” Yu Zhenghai asked.
“Second Senior Brother is wrong...” Si Wuya said with a straight face.
“You have a unique view on things, Seventh Junior Brother.” Yu Zhenghai’s face displayed a rare gleeful expression. He continued, “If I decide to flatten the Divine Capital, what will you do?”
“I’ll fully support you.”
Yu Zhenghai laughed heartily and said, “You know me well, Junior Brother Wuya.”
“Second Senior Brother has something he wants me to tell you... He said that he has no intention of meddling in your affairs, but he said it’s best if you don’t meddle in his as well,” Si Wuya said, passing on the message in its entirety.
“He’s still the same...” Yu Zhenghai shook his head. “Forget about him... Now that my Junior Brother Wuya is here, let’s not ruin the occasion. Bring us some wine!”
The two subordinates behind him hastily went to fetch some wine and prepared the table.
Si Wuya was speechless. However, he knew his Eldest Senior Brother liked to drink. It would not be in his favor to reject his Eldest Senior Brother.
After three cups of wine, Yu Zhenghai said calmly, “Seventh Junior Brother, what brings you here?”
Si Wuya placed his wine cup down and pointed at the box beside him. “Master’s box.”
When Yu Zhenghai heard this, he frowned slightly. “After I came out of cultivating in seclusion, I heard master single-handedly drove away the ten great elites... He should be living out his days in the Evil Sky Pavilion. What’s the matter with this box?”
“This box is extremely mysterious. Heaven-grade weapons can do nothing against it... It needs six weapons to be unlocked. Now, all we need is your Jasper Saber... and Sixth Junior Sister’s Amorous Hoop. The Amorous Hoop is currently in master’s possession.”
Yu Zhenghai said, “Master has many treasures, and yet, he’s fussing over this particular one. Do you know what’s inside?”
Si Wuya shook his head. “I have no idea. However, the more precious it is, the more reason for us to unlock it. Treasures should not remain sealed. If you want to flatten the Divine Capital, it’s better for you to have as many treasures as possible, Eldest Senior Brother.”
“You have a point.” Yu Zhenghai raised his right hand slightly. There was a flash of light in the flying chariot. The Jasper Saber flew into his hand.
“Place it into the groove, and it’ll activate the contraption.” Si Wuya pointed at one of the grooves.
However, Yu Zhenghai did not place his Jasper Saber into it. Instead, he glanced at the pattern on the box and said, “Second Junior Brother has made his choice... You’ve also made your choice, Seventh Junior Brother. If I refuse to unlock the box, what will you do?”
Si Wuya smiled faintly, it seemed as though he had expected this. He answered, “This box was brought down the mountain by Fourth Senior Brother Mingshi Yin. He has a heaven-grade weapon that resembles a hook and a blade at the same time. Fourth Senior Brother has given me a limit of seven days. If this box remains locked, I’m afraid that master will get angry.”
“When a person gets old... he’s bound to get cranky.” Yu Zhenghai flicked his finger lightly.
Ping!
The Jasper Saber spun in the air. However, it did not enter the groove on the mysterious box. Instead, it sailed toward a group of cultivators gathered under the flying chariot.
Si Wuya was taken aback. He looked down, stupefied. “The Azure Dragon’s headquarters?”
