Chapter 149: How Dare You Plot Against Golden Court Mountain?
The cloud-splitting chariot rose into the air and hovered for a moment .
The female cultivators who did not have the chance to board the chariot could not help but look at the sky . From their vantage point, the chariot looked like a glowing boat .
Mingshi Yin suddenly felt that it was nice to man the helm at the bow . He could see Golden Court Mountain in its entirety . He said, “Off we go!”
The flying chariot moved forward .
“Tangzi Town isn’t far away . Move at the slowest speed,” Lu Zhou ordered .
“Yes, master . ”
The chariot slowed down . The others walked to the sides of the flying chariot and looked down at the land, mountains, forests, and rivers . Some unique beasts could be seen flitting in and out of the clouds . The sun’s rays shone on the flying chariot through the layers of clouds . The scenery was very pleasing to the eyes .
Lu Zhou said, “Elder Hua… Shall we?”
Hua Wudao was overwhelmed by this favor . He hastily made an inviting gesture as well and allowed Lu Zhou to walk ahead of him . The two of them walked abreast to the bow of the flying chariot . They stood at the best spot and enjoyed the scenic view .
“The Yun Sect has two flying chariots . One of them is used by the sect master while the other is used by the sect master’s daughter . Even with the two combined, they still pale in comparison to this cloud-splitting chariot,” Hua Wudao said sincerely .
Lu Zhou slowly said, “It’s only a means of transport . It’s not significant enough to mention . ”
“A means of transport? The way you speak is like a breath of fresh air, Pavilion Master . ” Hua Wudao nodded .
The cloud-splitting chariot continued moving forward .
Hua Wudao gave it some consideration and decided to speak his mind . “Fan Xiuwen is only a lowly prisoner . His cultivation base has been sealed . Since we’re going up against the descendants of the Ten Shamans to demand an explanation, why are we bringing them along?”
“Fan Xiuwen is the leader of the Black Knights . He has a profound cultivation base . However, he’s willing to kneel to me for Mo Li,” Lu Zhou said .
“Are you saying that Mo Li might compromise for Fan Xiuwen?”
“Not necessarily . ” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and continued, “With Fan Xiuwen’s knowledge and temper, I wonder what kind of woman would make him this subservient and even fearless of death?” Fan Xiuwen did not strike him as the type to be hopelessly infatuated .
Hua Wudao shook his head helplessly . “Witchcraft?”
“Possibly . ”
“As expected…” Hua Wudao appeared slightly shocked . “I thought that such evil controlling methods were long lost . I didn’t expect to see it in this time and age . ”
“There are plenty of strange things in the great wide world,” Lu Zhou said .
The flying chariot flew on .
When it was approaching Tangzi Town, some cultivators traveling at a lower altitude saw the flying chariot .
“A flying chariot! It’s a flying chariot!”
“Which great sect’s flying chariot is this?”
“I can’t see the flag… There aren’t any inscriptions as well . ”
It was only natural for the younger cultivators to not recognize the cloud-splitting chariot .
When the older cultivators saw it, their eyes widened, and they reminded the younger ones anxiously, “This is the cloud-splitting chariot . It belongs to the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Ji Tiandao!”
“The Evil Sky Pavilion’s flying chariot?”
The cultivators landed . Some of them looked at the cloud-splitting chariot passing over their heads fearfully . The more cowardly ones ran away without even thinking .
“Back in the days, Ji Tiandao rode this very chariot as he roamed the lands . ”
“Isn’t Ji Tiandao supposed to be guarding the Golden Court Mountain and enjoying his final years since his life’s limit is almost up?”
“Even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse… Don’t forget, when the ten great elites laid siege on Golden Court Mountain previously, they were soundly defeated . ”
The cultivators around Tangzi Town were all looking at the chariot . When the Evil Sky Pavilion’s patriarch was mentioned, none of them could keep their expressions from changing .
Shortly after, the cloud-splitting chariot passed by various mountains and was almost upon Tangzi Town .

Pan Zhong looked down at the lands . He frowned and said, “Pavilion Master, look at this . There’s a dense fog rising from below . It looks fishy . ”
“You’re right… It’s a perfectly sunny day . Why would there be fog?” Zhou Jifeng said, puzzled .
“A Grand Witchcraft Formation?” Little Yuan’er suggested . After all, she had been to Measure Heaven River with Lu Zhou . Apart from its color, the dense fog on the ground was exactly the same as the Grand Witchcraft Formation she witnessed the other day .
“Judging by its appearance, it doesn’t look like something that could be completed in seven days…” Pan Zhong said with a frown .
Mingshi Yin glanced at Pan Zhong and said, “This only means they’ve long prepared this Grand Formation before they went up to the Evil Sky Pavilion .
The others were surprised .
Hua Wudao looked at Lu Zhou .
Lu Zhou looked calm, and there were no changes in his expression .
“It seems like that person in the palace has no intention of making peace in the first place,” Hua Wudao said .
“It’s to be expected . ” Lu Zhou was not surprised . When he saw the thickness of the fog, he knew this was no ordinary Grand Formation . They had prepared this for a long time . He was right to have brought the cloud-splitting chariot .
“Mingshi Yin . ”
“Yes, master . ”
“Go around Golden Court Mountain . ”
“Roger!” Mingshi Yin seemed to be in high spirits at this moment .
Hua Wudao nodded . “Wise move, Pavilion Master . ”
“Know yourself, know your enemy, and you’ll survive 100 battles,” Lu Zhou said .
The cloud-splitting chariot suddenly accelerated . It was moving at a speed that was several times faster than before . The buildings and scenery on land blurred as the chariot sped up .

Pan Zhong solemnly observed the movement on land .
The Evil Sky Pavilion had always been feared and respected by the people in the world . Hence, aside from Tangzi Town, there were no other settlements nearby . Cultivators were also a rare sight in these parts .
As the flying chariot flew in the sky, they could see the peculiar thick fog rising from the ground at many locations . The rising fog seemed to be moving toward Golden Court Mountain slowly . Some of them had already made contact with the barrier!
Those who did not understand Formations would think this was a natural phenomenon .
The cloud-splitting chariot moved at an even faster speed .
Under Mingshi Yin’s guidance, Zhao Yue, Pan Zhong, and Zhou Jifeng increased their output of Primal Qi . The effect of the dragging tail light appeared immediately .
Golden Court Mountain was huge . Going around it meant traveling for some distance . However, this was nothing for the cloud-splitting chariot .
A moment later, Mingshi Yin announced loudly, “We’re almost at Tangzi Town again . ” He had intentionally added the word ‘again’ to tell everyone the cloud-splitting chariot was about to complete an orbit around the town .
Pan Zhong said, “Pavilion Master, it’s clear there are only Formations three miles south of Golden Court Mountain in a semicircle . There aren’t any Formations in other places . ”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “The descendants of the Ten Shamans aren’t the Ten Shamans, after all . They can’t accomplish what the Ten Shamans could . ”
Hua Wudao chimed in, “The Ten Shamans were highly accomplished witchcraft cultivators… However, it’s already a commendable feat for the descendants of the Ten Shamans to be able to lay a Grand Formation spanning three miles . ”
The cloud-splitting chariot slowed down . The glowing tail faded substantially as well .
Meanwhile, the red-robed cultivators who were preparing the Grand Formation around Tangzi Town stopped what they were doing and looked up into the sky . The huge cloud-splitting chariot had caught their attention .
The 30 red-robed cultivators quickly gathered into three rows .
Wu Sheng and Wu Guan looked at the chariot .
“It’s the Evil Sky Pavilion’s flying chariot . ”
A strange smile appeared on Wu Guan’s face . “So, they couldn’t wait in the end . ”

“The Fiend Temple has agreed to work with us . I wonder when they’ll arrive?” A red-robed cultivator asked .
Before he received an answer…
Whizz!
The cloud-splitting chariot’s sound reached them from the horizons .
At this moment, the cloud-splitting chariot was slowing down and descending .
When the Primal Qi was withdrawn, the glow from the cloud-splitting chariot faded as well . Without the radiance of its exterior, it resembled a flying skiff .
The flying chariot drew level with the trees and stayed there .
Wu Sheng and Wu Guan’s eyes twitched as they witnessed the scene .
On the flying chariot, Lu Zhou and Hua Wudao stood at the helm, looking down at them from above .
The red-robed cultivators did not leave . Instead, they flew toward the flying chariot . They rose to the cloud-splitting chariot’s level and bowed in unison .
“Wu Sheng offers his greetings to Old Senior Ji . ”
Lu Zhou observed the 30 red-robed cultivators with his hands on his back . He asked bluntly, “How’s the Grand Formation coming along?”
Wu Sheng shuddered inwardly . The Evil Sky Pavilion was clearly aware of their Formation . However, that was not important . He quickly said, “What are you talking about, Pavilion Master? We’re only ordered to stay in Tangzi Town for a few days . ”
Conversations such as this one served no other purpose other than to stall for time .
Lu Zhou asked, “Where’s Mo Li?”
“Lady Mo… is in the Divine Capital . I wonder what business do you have with the lady, Pavilion Master? I can convey your message to the lady,” Wu Sheng said again .
Lu Zhou looked at the red-robed cultivators indifferently . They were not afraid, secretly coveted the Evil Sky Pavilion, working to take down the mountain’s barrier, and yet, they were playing dumb . Indeed . They were a hypocritical and shameless bunch of people . He said calmly, “I applaud you for your bravery . ”
The red-robed cultivators were taken aback . They had difficulty understanding Lu Zhou’s words .
Mingshi Yin shouted coldly, “How dare you plot against Golden Court Mountain… Are you sick of living? You’d better destroy this Formation, kneel, and surrender . Perhaps, my master might spare your lives then . ”
