Revisiting Anyang, Same City, Different People
Chapter 196: Revisiting Anyang, Same City, Different People
The Evil Sky Pavilion was still lacking in strength. It was a far cry from its glory days.
Even the newcomer, the Eight-leaf expert, Fan Xiuwen, might not be able to compare to the Evil Sky Pavilion when it was at its strongest. There was nobody who did not fear the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The first disciple, Yu Zhenghai, founded the Nether Sect on his own, and it had grown into the greatest cult… His strength was apparent.
The second disciple, Yu Shangrong, had never lost a fight.
If those two were still around, the crisis where Golden Court Mountain was besieged by the ten great elites would not have happened.
Someone had to stay back to guard the Evil Sky Pavilion.
For this reason, Lu Zhou merely brought Little Yuan’er, Mingshi Yin, and Duanmu Sheng to Anyang.
Zhao Yue and Zhu Honggong were weaker. They were more suited to remain in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Perhaps, Little Yuan’er had just been ‘heavily punished’, she did not jump and make a fuss about wanting to ride in front on Whitzard.
When Whitzard’s auspicious aura appeared above the Evil Sky Pavilion, Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, widened his eyes until it seemed like they were going to pop out of their sockets. "Wh-when did master subdue this mount?"
Zhou Jifeng said with an expression of awe, "Ordinary mounts can be captured in foreign regions or the forests. To capture a mount with certain abilities such as this one, it’s… fated."
"I heard that Mister First once caught a legendary hippogryph in the Misty Forest as a mount. However, nobody has seen it before…"
Zhao Yue shushed them and said warningly, "Are you tired of living?"
The others shut up.
It would not be pretty if Lu Zhou heard them discussing the first disciples, Yu Zhenghai, in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er left on Whitzard.
Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng could only fly on their own as usual.
Although a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator could not compare to a mount’s speed, they were by no means slow.
…
Two hours later.
Inside Anyang City.
Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er walked on the streets. They were surprised to see the streets were not as crowded as they had expected. Moreover, there were only half as many merchants compared to the last time they visited. It was a slightly desolate scene.
Little Yuan’er who found this strange asked, "Master… Should I stop someone and ask them about this?" In order not to repeat her mistakes, she had kept her senior sister’s words close to heart. Before she did anything, she would ask her master first.
"There’s no need for that." Lu Zhou decided to go to the Ci Mansion. The rise or fall of Anyang City was a problem for Great Yan’s Emperor. It had nothing to do with him.
Little Yuan’er nodded vehemently with an ‘Mhm’.
Shortly after, both of them arrived at the Ci Mansion’s door.
Little Yuan’er knew what she had to do. "I’ll go and knock, master."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He felt pleased. ‘She’s learning well. Previously, she would’ve kicked the doors down without a second thought.’
Dong! Dong!
Little Yuan’er knocked twice.
The doors open with a creak.
"Young lady?" The person who opened the door was Ci An. They met him when he was rescued from Bluesun Mountain and another time when he went to the Evil Sky Pavilion for the first time. How could he not recognize Little Yuan’er now that she had appeared before him? "I’ll inform the old master and the madam right away!"
