Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The flying chariot flew at a moderate speed, neither fast nor slow. The flight was smooth as well.
During the journey, Lu Zhou used the Heavenly Writing’s power of sight to observe the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Sky Martial Academy. Everything was fine in the Evil Sky Pavilion; there was no problem at all. On the contrary, something had happened in the Sky Martial Academy.
“Are you alright?” Si Wuya asked as he looked at Qin Naihe who was resting on a bed.
Qin Naihe’s body was wrapped in bandages, and blood could be seen seeping through the bandages on some parts of his body. He replied with a smile, “It’s just a minor injury. The treatment is simple as well. I just have to wait until my energy recovers.”
“My master is skilled in healing. It’s a pity that he’s not around. I’ve already spoken to the Thousand Willow Monastery’s Wu Wu and asked her to treat you,” Si Wuya said.
“Wuwu?”
“Don’t underestimate this girl. She’s quite talented. It won’t be a problem for her to alleviate your pain and treat your injury,” Si Wuya said.
Qin Naihe nodded. “Thank you.”
“Since you’ve joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, there’s no need for thanks. These people are only targeting you; they didn’t attack anyone else. They’re from the Qin clan, right?” Si Wuya asked.
Qin Naihe nodded. Then, he said with a sigh, “Young Master’s death is a huge matter. As long as I don’t explain this matter to Venerable Master Qin, the attacks will only continue.”
Si Wuya said, “Since Qin Moshang was so important, why hasn’t Venerable Master Qin spoken to you, the only survivor?”
Qin Naihe coughed. After he recovered from the coughing fit, he said, “He’s a Venerable Master, after all. There are many things he has to attend to every day. Moreover, he’s usually cultivating in seclusion so the clan’s affairs are left to the elders to handle. The imbalance suddenly appeared as well so he likely didn’t have the time to investigate the Young Master’s death. He had to go to the Unknown Land, after all.”
“If that’s the case, you should lay low for the time being,” Si Wuya said, “I’ll report this matter to my master.”
Qin Naihe said, “I’ve already defeated the second elder, I believe they won’t act rashly for now. The first elder is busy, and the imbalance has worsened. He should be in the training hall now, and he won’t leave so easily. For the time being, there’s no need to worry about him. If things don’t work out, I’ll sneak into the mountains and hide for three to five years.”
“You have a really good mentality,” Si Wuya said with a smile.
“A Free Man should be free, after all,” Qin Naihe said jokingly.
Si Wuya sighed and shook his head. “Unfortunately, I don’t think things will go as smoothly as you think. Sometimes, things will develop in an unexpected and unwanted direction…”
Bang!
All of a sudden, a loud noise rang in the Sky Martial Court, heralding trouble.
“I’m going.” Si Wuya waved his hand.
Qin Naihe frowned. “This is outrageous! At the very least, I’ve made many contributions to the clan. Are they really planning to corner me to this extent?”
“All you need to do is rest. Leave the rest to me,” Si Wuya said.
“No. The first elder’s cultivation base is profound and is close to the cultivation base of a Venerable Master. I can’t let my matters implicate the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
“No. Qin Moshang’s death is related to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Moreover, you’re now a member of the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Si Wuya said. Upon seeing the worried expression on Qin Naihe’s face, he said reassuringly with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry. I have a way to make the enemy retreat.”
Qin Naihe watched as Si Wuya left the room. He wanted to follow Si Wuya out, but the pain from his injury made him collapse on the bed when he tried to get up. In the end, he had to mobilize the little vitality energy he had just recovered to alleviate the pain.
…
Above the lake in the Sky Martial Academy.
The geniuses from the Sky Martial Court looked at the gray-clad old man hovering in the air as though they were facing a huge threat.
Si Wuya walked over at this moment, and everyone instinctively parted and made way for him.
“I apologize for keeping Elder Qin waiting for so long,” Si Wuya said.
The gray-clad old man was Qin De, the first elder of the Qin clan. He was the person whom Qin Naihe predicted would not appear for the time being.
Qin De searched the crowd with his eyes. When he did not see Qin Naihe, he said with a frown, “Hand Qin Naihe over, and I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Si Wuya remained calm as he said, “Alright. I can hand him over to you, but before that, you have to investigate things properly.”
“The facts are clear! What’s there to investigate?” Qin De said in a low voice, “If it weren’t for Venerable Master Qin’s orders to not kill, do you think I’d waste my breath with you? I’d kill you.”
Si Wuya said indifferently, “Kill?”
Qin De stared at Si Wuya. “Do you think I’m joking?”
“I don’t dare.” Si Wuya cupped his fists together. “To tell you the truth, Qin Naihe has joined our Evil Sky Pavilion. You’re from the green lotus domain so you probably don’t know much about the Evil Sky Pavilion. Hence, I suggest that Elder Qin ask around about the Evil Sky Pavilion before acting. Since Elder Qin’s cultivation is profound, I’m sure it won’t take more than a day or two for Elder Qin to ask around.”
Qin De chuckled before he said disdainfully, “You overestimate yourself.”
Then, Qin De suddenly struck with his palm.
A green palm seal suddenly shot down from the sky.
Si Wuya’s expression changed slightly as he retreated in the sky. How could he avoid the palm seal of a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator? Just as the palm seal was about to hit him…
Bam!
Xiao Yunhe’s figure appeared in front of Si Wuya.
“Thank you, Tower Master Xiao,” Si Wuya said.
Qin De looked at Xiao Yunhe, slightly surprised. “There are experts with more than ten Birth Charts in the red lotus domain?”
In fact, Qin De’s earlier palm seal was just to test the water.
Xiao Yunhe asked, “Elder Qin, what’s the point of acting this way?”
Qin De scoffed. “As a Free Man of the Qin clan, Qin Naihe brought the Young Master away without permission. Most importantly, he betrayed the Young Master, resulting in the Young Master’s death. How dare you ask me what’s the point of acting this way? Let me tell you, my patience is limited! If you don’t hand Qin Naihe over to me, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
Buzz!
A huge astrolabe that covered the sky appeared above the Sky Martial Academy. 17 Birth Charts flashed consecutively, intimidating the people of the Sky Martial Academy.
Shocked, Huang Yu fell from the roof while the hammer in Wang Dachui’s hand dropped to the ground.
“T-this… This… 17 Birth Charts?!”
“Am I f*cking seeing things?!”
The geniuses of the Sky Martial Academy were obsessed with studying and researching, but their cultivation was not very good. Upon seeing the 17 Birth Charts, they swarmed back to the Hall of Rites.
Xiao Yun gulped and looked at Si Wuya with a hint of embarrassment on his face as he whispered, “Why don’t we hand him over?”
At this moment, a voice rang in the air.
“Elder Qin, stop this. I’ll go with you.” Qin Naihe held his chest and staggered over.
When Qin De saw Qin Naihe, a satisfied smile bloomed on his face. He put away his astrolabe and said, “You’re quite smart.”
Qin Naihe sighed and shook his head. Then, he looked at the others before his gaze finally stopped on Si Wuya. He said, “There’s no need to drag everyone down with me…”
Qin De said in a clear voice, “Qin Naihe, you betrayed the Qin clan and caused the Young Master’s death. You even injured the second elder. As the first elder, I won’t let you get away with this.”
As Qin De spoke, he raised his hand and pushed it down.
Everyone gasped as they watched a huge palm seal descend from the sky.
Qin Naihe was shocked. He pushed his hand up, mobilizing the last of his vitality energy and manifesting his astrolabe to withstand the palm seal.
Xiao Yunhe launched a palm seal to help from the side.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Like a hot knife through butter, the palm seal met with no resistance as it continued to descend.
Bang!
Xiao Yunhe was sent flying back.
“Stand down. This has nothing to do with you,” Qin Naihe said in a low voice.
Bang!
The palm seal landed on Qin Naihe’s astrolabe, causing it to cave in.
“Stop!”
“How dare you tell me to stop!”
Qin Naihe felt a threatening force coming at him so he quickly put away his astrolabe.
Bang!
When the palm seal landed on Qin Naihe’s chest, a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared before disappearing again, indicating that he had lost a Birth Chart.
