Chapter 344 Teaching the Traitor a Lesson

After a long pause, Yu Zhenghai asked, “When did this happen?”

“After you left Radiant Cloud Forest, master arrived,” Si Wuya replied. Yu Zhenghai frowned. He remembered seeing a battered flying chariot near Lilac Mountain when he was in his flying chariot. He had seen their master on that flying chariot as well. However, he was annoyed by the fact that his duel with Yu Shangrong had ended in a draw so he had only asked his subordinate to quickly leave and did not investigate the matter. He did not expect Yu Shangrong to be captured by their master. In the end, he shook his head and said, “Master is old. With Second Junior Brother’s abilities, he should’ve been able to leave despite being injured.”

Si Wuya recounted the things that happened.

When he heard that their master killed the Yun Sect’s Luo Changqing, one of the three Sword Freaks, with a single strike, Yu Zhenghai shook his head again. He said, “Seventh Junior Brother, are you sure?” He found this difficult to believe. No matter how weak Luo Changqing was, he would not have been killed with a single strike. Even he would find this feat difficult to achieve.

“I saw it with my own eyes,” Si Wuya replied. Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly. “You said that master has absorbed the barrier’s power to maintain his condition. Master should’ve used up all the barrier’s power on the Lotus Dais. How could he kill Luo Changqing?”

Si Wuya said, “That’s why I suspect… that master might’ve actually found a way to overcome the great limit or at least postpone

it.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenghai instantly waved his arm dismissively. “The life limit is inevitable in the cultivation world since the beginning of time… Ever since humans cultivated thousands of years ago, how many have actually managed to overcome this?”

“Uh…”

“It’s not my intention to belittle master… However, based on our predecessors, it’s just impossible,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“Don’t forget that it’s natural for the successors to surpass the predecessors,” Si Wuya retorted. His thoughts were different from Yu Zhenghai. Just because there had been no precedence in the past, it did not mean that it was impossible.

“Then, why did master capture Second Junior Brother?” Yu Zhenghai pointed out.

Si Wuya was confused as well. “Perhaps, master intends to rebuild the Evil Sky Pavilion?” “Since he has overcome the great limit, he can attain a Nine-leaf cultivation base… With a power like that, why would he need another person’s help?” Yu Zhenghai said.

Si Wuya frowned and remained silent. When he took down the Clarity Sect back then, Yu Zhenghai did not believe in him as well. He knew Yu Zhenghai would not believe him this time as well. A stubborn person’s thoughts were so deeply rooted that it would not be swayed by a few words. It was better for him to say nothing rather than argue.

At this moment, Bai Yuqing walked in. He cupped his fists at the three of them. “Greetings, sect master, Mister Seventh.”

“What is it?” Yu Zhenghai waved his hand.

Bai Yuqing did not beat around the bush. “We’ve investigated the flying chariot’s remains. We can confirm that it belonged to the Fiend Temple.”

Hua Chongyang said in confusion, “Ren Buping is dead. Most of the Fiend Temple’s territories have been taken over by the Nether Sect. Duan Xing, as the new sect master, did not attempt to expand his forces. Why would he be with the old senior?”

Without waiting for a reply from Bai Yuqing, Yu Zhenghai said irritably, “How dare the little Fiend Temple stir up trouble behind the scenes.”

“Sect master, I’m willing to lead a party and obliterate the Fiend Temple. The Fiend Temple doesn’t know its place and con… continues to struggle with its last breath. They’re nothing.” Hua Chongyang nearly said the wrong thing.

Si Wuya shook his head and said, “It’s too late.”

Yu Zhenghai was now intrigued. He looked at Si Wuya and said, “What are your thoughts, Seventh Junior Brother. Tell us.”

Si Wuya was slightly stunned. He somehow felt that his Eldest Senior Brother was overly passionate today.

“Ren Buping is dead. The Fiend Temple is no longer a force to be feared. There’s no need to waste resources to deal with them since the benefits do not outweigh the effort. Moreover, Duan Xing has our master supporting him,” Si Wuya explained.

Yu Zhenghai laughed and said, “I can count on you to be logical, Seventh Junior Brother… Now that the Clarity and Righteous Sects have been destroyed by me, what do you think my next step should be?”

Si Wuya suddenly understood why his Eldest Senior Brother was being so passionate. It seemed like his senior brother wanted to ask him this question. In the end, he said, “The Nether Sect has grown rapidly. I think it has already caught the Imperial family’s attention. The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, has returned to the court with military achievements. Wei Zhuoyan has gone to the borders in his stead… Eldest Senior Brother, you must be careful.”

Yu Zhenghai snorted and said, “They want to deal with me?”

“I’m merely guessing… However, another important person has appeared as of late. He can divert the Imperial family’s attention,” Si Wuya said.

“Who’s that?”

“The Third Prince of Great Yan’s Imperial family, Jiang Aijian!” Si Wuya replied.

At the foot of Golden Court Mountain.

Mingshi Yin ushered everyone else onto the mountain. He turned back to look at Jiang Aijian and said, “Stop standing there. This isn’t your first time here.”

Jiang Aijian rolled his eyes. He walked to Mingshi Yin’s side and said in a hushed tone, “Brother, I think we can be considered as comrades surviving a close-call together… What do you say to putting in a good word or two for me before the old senior later?”

“No.” Mingshi Yin sped forward. He said contemptuously, “Stay away from me, and who’s your comrade?”

Zhao Yue and Little Yuan’er were rendered speechless by this display.

Jiang Aijian walked up to Zhao Yue and said, “Zhao Yue, in terms of seniority in the family… I’m your older brother.”

“Get lost,” Zhao Yue said in a soft but contemptuous tone as well.

Jiang Aijian pouted as though he had been wronged. He scratched his head. ‘What did I do?’

Mingshi Yin stopped walking and said, “Come on. Stop talking nonsense.” “You’re the best, Brother Ming!” Jiang Aijian said with a grin. He had come to the Evil Sky Pavilion precisely because he had caused some troubles. Currently, everyone in the Divine Capital knew that the Second Prince, Liu Huan, had died in Obedient Villa.

When they arrived on the mountain and in front of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s doors, two female disciples came up to greet them.

“Welcome, Mister Fourth, Miss Fifth, Miss Ninth…”

Mingshi Yin nodded and asked, “Where’s master?”

“The pavilion master is resting.”

The other female disciple said, “Mister Second has returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Mingshi Yin, Zhao Yue, and Little Yuan’er were startled.

“Come again?”

The female disciple was shocked by Mingshi Yin’s reaction. She repeated her words, “Mister Second has returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

“That traitor, he has the gall to show his face here? Where is he now?” Mingshi Yin asked.

“He’s repenting in the Cave of Reflection.”

“I’ll go and teach that traitor a lesson later!” Mingshi Yin said fiercely.

At this moment, a black figure appeared and said from afar, “You might not know this, Mister Fourth, but the pavilion master gave chase for thousands of miles to Radiant Cloud Forest, killed Sword Freak Luo Changqing, and captured Mister Second.”

Mingshi Yin looked at the black figure and asked, “Who are you?” “Duan Xing of the Fiend Temple. I offer you my greetings… About the happenings in Radiant Cloud Forest, I personally witnessed everything. That was truly a phenomenal battle. I won’t forget it until the day I die,” Duan Xing said.
