Chapter 824: The Source of the Sky Martial Court’s Confidence
The Ten-leaf elite, Nie Qingyun, watched this arrow that seemed to be carelessly shot out with a complicated gaze. If he was honest, he could not pull something like that off. This exceeded the bounds of logic.
For an ordinary Nascent Divinity archer, several thousand meters was already the limit of a reasonable firing range. Every new addition of a leaf would increase the range somewhat. The more profound the archer’s cultivation base, the better their precision when they shot a target in the distance. This also depended on the weapon, the circumstances, and if anything stood in the way of the line of fire.
A cultivator’s eyesight would improve as their cultivation bases improved. Without anything obstructing their view, they could even shoot down something several thousand or tens of thousands of meters away. The condition was that the energy arrow did not dissipate. After all, an energy arrow was only a body of energy. It would be weakened throughout its flight. This was the greatest restriction in regard to shooting a target from a distance. If someone could transport their energy arrows across such a distance, they would be invincible in a defensive battle.
Nie Qingyun did not expect Lu Zhou would be able to pull this feat off so easily.
Wang Shizhong said with a sigh, "Thank you for showing mercy, Senior Lu. Weaklings have no place to speak in front of an expert. I understand that… I agree to all the conditions, but I can speak on behalf of the royal court. Apart from me, there’s a second head of the secretariat, and a third…"
"You don’t have to worry about that. Take him away."
With that, Wang Shizhong and Wang Shu were locked up in the prison by the Cloud Mountain disciples.
The remaining members of the Wang Family brought the survivors and left Cloud Mountain under Wang Shizhong’s command. When they returned, they did not dare to speak carelessly as well. They only said their lord was accompanying the emperor on a tour of Cloud Mountain and would not be back for some time. After all, they knew a slip of tongue would result in the deaths of Wang Shizhong, Wang Shu, and the hostages from the Sky Martial Court.
Just like that, the matter was solved.
Next, it was time to figure out a way to fight the elites from the palace and the Sky Martial Court.
"Those who have no business here may leave," Lu Zhou said.
Nie Qingyun understood Lu Zhou’s intention. He waved his hand, dismissing the Cloud Mountain disciples.
The disciples finally recovered from their shock of watching the energy arrow and quickly left the cloud platform.
In just a moment, only the four members from the Evil Sky Pavilion, a few people from the Thousand Willow Monastery, and Nie Qingyun and a few of his elders were left on the cloud platform.
Lu Zhou turned to look at Li Yunzheng who did not leave.
Li Yunzheng shuddered. Then, he hastily rose to his feet and said, "Grand… Grandmaster! I… I t-think I should learn archery from you!"
Lu Zhou steeled his expression. "You like novelties, and your temperament is still indeterminate. Are you planning on ruling the lands like this?"
"…" Li Yunzheng lowered his head, embarrassed. Without the people from the palace, he no longer looked like a monarch. In front of Lu Zhou, he was just a child who was still wet behind the ears.
