Chapter 875: The Arrival of the Evil Sky Pavilion

Upon hearing the series of system notifications, Lu Zhou’s heart moved slightly. He glanced at the system interface and saw the mission for disciplining his ten disciples. He could not help but sigh.

Conch was not entirely wrong. She only wanted to investigate her background and seek justice for Luo Xuan. Such a filial person, how could her nature be bad? It seemed like she really inherited Luo Xuan’s character.

In the end, Lu Zhou said, “How could I not understand your feelings? However, do you think you’ll be able to investigate anything with your cultivation base? If a problem crops up, do you think you’ll be able to solve it?”

Conch was rendered speechless by Lu Zhou’s question.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “Let alone you, even if I go to the unknown place, I might not be able to protect myself.”

“But... I can’t let my mother die in vain.”

Lu Zhou’s other three disciples were stunned.

Lu Zhou looked at Conch.

Conch said, “My mother sacrificed herself to save me. If I wasn’t injured, my mother wouldn’t have died.”

“You don’t have to feel indebted to Luo Xuan,” Lu Zhou said. “Your mother definitely doesn’t want to feel this way...”

Conch seemed stunned by Lu Zhou’s words.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “If you want to investigate your background, you can. When your cultivation base is high enough, I’ll naturally let you go. However, you can’t leave for now.”

At this time, realization finally dawned on the trio.

Yu Zhenghai spoke up first. “Junior sister, master is doing this for your good. Your cultivation is very weak now. Going to the unknown place is no different from throwing your life away. Although you have a Ten-leaf cultivation base, you’re lacking in combat strength and experience.”

Meanwhile, Yu Shangrong’s voice was as gentle as usual as he said, “Why are you in such a hurry? Your Eldest Senior Brother is a Wuqian. It took him 300 years to resolve the knot in his heart. As for your Second Senior Brother, as a Nobleman, I spent hundreds of years to resolve the limit of his lifespan. Wouldn’t it be better to go to the unknown place once you’re strong enough?”

Little Yuan’er chimed in as well, “Little Junior Sister, I think Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are right. Don’t be stubborn.”

Conch looked at her hands. She had thought being a Ten-leaf karmic fire user was enough. She did not expect that she could not even withstand one strike from her master. With such strength, what could she do in the unknown place?

Conch bowed. Then, she fell to her knees and kowtowed again as she said, “I’ve been foolish. Please forgive me, master.”

“It’s good that you understand. However, let me tell you this. If you dare to go to the unknown place without permission, I won’t let you off so easily.”

“Yes.”

“You inherited Luo Xuan’s power, but you didn’t inherit her intelligence. How can I watch you go astray?” Lu Zhou said disappointedly, “Here’s a music sheet. Take it back with you and cultivate.” He brought out the music score for the Pilgrim Song from his sleeve and tossed it to Conch.

Lu Zhou’s understanding of music was not strong so he only copied the Pilgrim Song.

Conch understood her master’s painstaking effort and immediately felt even more ashamed of herself. She kowtowed again and said, “I will remember master’s words. I won’t dare to forget them.”

“Ding! Disciplined Luo Shiyin. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

“Leave.” Lu Zhou waved his hand.

With this, Little Yuan’er hurriedly ran over to Conch to help Conch up. The both of them left the Literary Star Hall together.

Lu Zhou looked at the moon and sighed. He had thought his youngest disciples would be the least worrisome; he really did not expect her to be the most worrisome.

There would definitely be trouble if they went to the Great Void.

...

The next morning.

In the southern pavilion in the golden lotus domain’s Evil Sky Pavilion.

“Seventh Senior Brother, everything and everyone are ready. All that’s left is you!”

Si Wuya followed his master’s instructions and packed up the ancient map in the eastern Pavilion and all sorts of blueprints. He said, “I’m coming.”

Outside the southern pavilion.

Zhu Honggong said with a meaningful smile, “Seventh Senior Brother, Princess Yongning came all the way from the Divine Capital to send you off...”

“Yongning?” Si Wuya turned around and saw Princess Yong Ning was indeed waiting at the entrance of the southern pavilion. He walked over to her.

Yong Ning looked graceful and elegant despite being dressed in plain robes. “Sister Zhaoyue is busy and couldn’t come to see you off so I came...”

Si Wuya nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Yongning sighed before she said, “This trip to the red lotus domain is fraught with danger.”

“I know.”

“You’re always so confident, but humans are still humans after all. It’s impossible for humans not to make any mistakes.”

“I know.”

“...” Yong Ning wanted to say a few more words, but she did not want to spoil the mood. In the end, she only smiled and said, “Take care.”

Si Wuya said, “Senior Sister Zhaoyue’s cultivation speed is a little slow. I’ve drawn some Formations so please bring them back. Tell her that when she needs them, follow the instructions, and she’ll be able to contact me or master...”

“Mm, don’t worry,” Yong Ning said as she rested her hands in front.

“You take care as well.” These were the only words Si Wuya said before he turned and walked toward the Sky Shuttle.

At this time, everyone had already boarded the Sky Shuttle.

“Let’s go.”

“I wish everyone success.” Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng waved their hands.

Buzz!

The inscriptions on the Sky Shuttle lit up at this moment, and it slowly rose into the sky.

Yong Ning raised her hand as though she wanted to stay something before she stopped herself. She murmured to herself, “Take care.”

The Sky Shuttle flew toward the Endless Ocean.

...

Inside the Sky Shuttle.

Woof Woof Woof!

Grunt!

The wild boar and the dog seemed to be communicating. It was extremely lively.

“Eighth Junior Brother, I don’t know what to say about your wild boar. Whenever the dog tries to communicate with it, it only cowers in fear,” Mingshi Yin said disdainfully as he crossed his arms.

Meanwhile, the four elders stood on the deck and watched.

Zhu Honggong said, “Fourth Senior Brother, why don’t we switch? I think the wild boar suits you rather well.”

“Are you itching for a beating?”

Zhu Honggong did not hesitate at all as he said, “Fourth Senior Brother, I was wrong.”

Meanwhile, Jiang Aijian and Si Wuya stood side by side on the deck.

Si Wuya, “You’ve really decided to follow us there?”

“I’m going to become moldy if I stay in Penglai Island. My master and his wife nagged me all day long. Sometimes, it’s better to be alone in life,” Jiang Aijian said with a sigh.

“When you arrive at the red lotus domain, you have to change your cowardly nature.”

“I can’t change my nature! I learned it from Mister Fourth.”

“You’re not like him. You’re as cowardly as a mouse. On the other hand, my Fourth Senior Brother might look like a coward outwardly, but he has a sense of propriety and knows how to act accordingly,” Si Wuya said.

“You’re right. I surrender.”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

...

An hour later.

The Sky Shuttle finally arrived at the shore of the Endless Ocean.

Under Si Wuya’s management, there were many golden lotus cultivators stationed at the shore.

Dozens of cultivators rose into the sky.

The four elders immediately manifested their avatars.

Pan Litian, nine leaves.

Leng Luo, nine leaves.

Hua Wudao, nine leaves.

Zuo Yushu, nine leaves.

The four avatars only appeared for an instant before they disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators with keen eyes bowed in the air. “It’s the four elders from the Evil Sky Pavilion. Let them pass!”

Pan Litian replied, “Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. May the Evil Sky Pavilion safely return to the golden lotus domain.”

After the dozens of cultivators descended, they bowed in neat rows at the Sky Shuttle.

...

“Ding! Worshiped by 40 people. Reward: 40 merit points.”

Lu Zhou was puzzled when he received the notification for the rewards of unexpected worship from 40 people.

Then, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.

...

At this time, the Sky Shuttle was flying over the Endless Ocean.

The modified Sky Shuttle was much larger than the Sky Shuttle that Lu Zhou had traveled in previously. Not only was it larger, but its speed was faster as well.

As the four elders looked at the horizon, they suddenly felt heavy-hearted and reluctant to leave. They exchanged a look and sighed.

...

After three days, the Sky Shuttle flew into what seemed like an endless cloud of fog.

Si Wuya said, “Don’t panic. Master once said that we will have to pass through a seemingly endless cloud of fog when flying over the Endless Ocean. All we have to do is keep to our route and maintain our altitude.”

Splash!

The sound of a sea beast jumping out of the sea rang from below.

“Seventh Senior Brother, could that be the colossal sea beast?”

“Based on the sound, it should only be a small sea beast. There’s no hurry. If we see the sea beast, we can part the fog and have a look.”

The Sky Shuttle maintained its speed as it traveled through the fog.

In the sea, a group of flying sea beasts flapped their fins and formed a bridge as they jumped back and forth.
