Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Master is Old
“There’s no need to trouble yourself over that, senior brother . ” Si Wuya cupped his fists . He made sure he looked like he was sending a guest away .
Mingshi Yin snorted . He did not want to waste any more words with Si Wuya . He leaped nimbly into the air . “You’ll fall into my hands sooner or later . ” He left these parting words that echoed through the mountains as he vanished from sight .
Si Wuya cupped his fists at Yu Shangrong and said, “Thank you for helping me out, second senior brother . ”
“I don’t know if I helped you, but I know you’re certainly annoyed that I troubled you,” Yu Shangrong said with a faint smile on his face .
“I dare not . ” Bai Yuqing had protected Si Wuya and Yellow Peak Mountain . However, Yu Shangrong’s appearance had caused Bai Yuqing to be injured and the loss of his personal heaven-grade weapon . There was no doubt he regretted these things very much .
Yu Shangrong was, naturally, privy to Si Wuya’s thoughts, but he did not bring it up . Instead, he turned to look at Bai Yuqing and asked, “Eldest senior brother sent you?”
Bai Yuqing endured the pain and said, “The sect master has given me specific orders . I daren’t go against his words . ”
Yu Shangrong said, “When you return, tell eldest senior brother that I have no intention of meddling in his affairs nor do I have the time to . However, he’d do well not to act out of place…”
“Uh…” Bai Yuqing cast a helpless glance at Si Wuya .
Si Wuya said, “Brother Bai, please return . ”
Bai Yuqing cupped his fists and said, “Well, then… Take care, Mister Seventh . ” He was the White Tiger Hall’s First Seat . He knew about the conflicts between Yu Shangrong and his sect master . The two of them had never seen eye to eye, and the changes in the Evil Sky Pavilion did nothing to abate the conflict . He no longer dared to linger here . After all, Yu Shangrong clearly meant to slight his master by injuring him . When he thought about it, he could only blame his own rotten luck for being caught in the middle .
Mingshi Yin sped all the way back to the Evil Sky Pavilion . After a long flight, he finally approached Tangzi Town . At the very least, he could report back to his master with the Peacock Plume in his hands . When he thought about this, he felt much more confident .
Mingshi Yin had focused on investigating Si Wuya all this time so he felt exhausted . Moreover, he had to fight Bai Yuqing as well . He needed some time to rest . When he made a brief stop near Tangzi Town’s information station to rest, he overheard the discussion in his surroundings . Someone pointed in the direction of Golden Court Mountain and said, “The Evil Sky Pavilion’s barrier has weakened again . ”
Tangzi Town was not far from the Evil Sky Pavilion, but it was not as if the Evil Sky Pavilion could be easily seen . However, it did nothing to stop these people from speculating . Based on this, it could be seen that many people were secretly paying attention to the Evil Sky Pavilion .
“If this goes on, the Evil Sky Pavilion won’t last long . ”
“I think the patriarch is doing the right thing… Dignity and honor is everything for a man . I’d rather live with dignity than let the Evil Sky Pavilion be trampled on by vermin!”
Mingshi Yin was not surprised by their words . There were many strange and wonderful things in this vast world . The Fiend Path existed because there were many who shared the same ideals . As a notable figure in the Fiend Path, the Evil Sky Pavilion, naturally, earned the respect and worship of many . There were also those who wanted to become a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion . Unfortunately, since his master was getting old, his master had stopped accepting disciples a long time ago . “Dignity won’t save your life . Someone went to have a look yesterday . The barrier has
kened by one-third again . The Evil Sky Pavilion seems to have no intention of mending the barrier . ”
“It’s not easy to mend it… It would take a few years to mend it . In a few years, it’d be almost time…”
“You have a point…”
Mingshi Yin gave the few individuals a glance . He did not join in the conversation but minded his own business and enjoyed his tea .
“I heard the Heavenly Sword Sect is prepared to challenge the Evil Sky Pavilion… The Heavenly Sword Sect must be anxious to act . ”

When he heard this, Mingshi Yin rose to his feet and walked to the cultivators before he sat at their table . He asked, “The Heavenly Sword Sect is going to attack the Evil Sky Pavilion?” He blended in perfectly with the people here .
This was normal at a rest stop . People came and went, and all kinds of news could be obtained here .
A cultivator with a beard said, “Luo Changfeng, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, was killed by the Evil Sky Pavilion’s patriarch . He was also Luo Xingkong’s only son . You may not know this, but the Heavenly Sword Sect’s first disciple, Zhou Jifeng, had defaulted to the Evil Sky Pavilion as well . I heard that Luo Xingkong didn’t sleep for three days due to his rage . ”
“Luo Xingkong has sent a summon to the major sects . It’s possible that they might launch an attack on Golden Court Mountain before the Evil Sky Pavilion’s patriarch’s time is up . ”
Mingshi Yin said with a smile, “That old geezer, Luo Xingkong, is so bold?”
‘Old geezer?’ The others looked at Mingshi Yin .
“There’s no need to be so harsh, brother . This is only a small talk during tea . Don’t you go bringing your own sentiments into the discussion,” the bearded cultivator said with a smile .
Mingshi Yin ignored the comment and asked, “Luo Xingkong has sent a summon?”
“That’s right… The ten great sects, apart from the Clarity Sect, have already received the summon . I wonder if the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects would join in as well . ”
“Where did Luo Xingkong get his confidence from? I mean, look at the Heavenly Sword
Sect . ”

Upon hearing this, another cultivator said, “That’s not fair . Luo Xingkong has been cultivating in seclusion for many years, and he shouldn’t be underestimated . Besides, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s barrier is weakening . Perhaps, this is the chance they’ve been waiting for . ”
Mingshi Yin chuckled . Then, he rose to his feet before he said, “Well, I’ve heard these same words when they attacked the Golden Court Mountain previously . Even with the Evil Sky Pavilion’s patriarch out of the picture, they still have the disciples to contend with . ”
“You’ve got a point . ”
After that, Mingshi Yin left the station .
Meanwhile, in the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall .
Lu Zhou looked at the price of the avatar, the Eight Methods Connected . It cost 20,000 merit points . Upon seeing the price, he decided to try his luck with the lucky draw .
“Lucky draw . ”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points . Obtained Reversal Card x3 . ”
‘Not bad . ’ Lu Zhou had earned 100 luck points during his last lucky draw . He was surprised he was rewarded this time around . Perhaps, it was all a matter of timing and luck from the heavens .
“Lucky draw . ”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points . Obtained Critical Block Card x5 . ”

‘It’s better than nothing . ’ He remembered this item had only been successfully activated once throughout his history of using it . It seemed to be of little value .
“Lucky draw . ”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points . Thank you for participating . Luck point +1 . ”
Lu Zhou’s winning streak ended, and he closed the system dashboard .
At this moment, Little Yuan’er ran in excitedly and announced enthusiastically, “Master, Fourth Senior Brother is back!”
“Very good . ” Lu Zhou glanced outside .
Mingshi Yin walked in at this moment, carrying the Peacock Plume in his hand . “Master, I investigated the incident at Skylark Pagoda . Indeed, it was planned by that traitor, Si Wuya . Yellow Peak Mountain is his information station . Unfortunately, I couldn’t capture him since he’s protected by an elite . I only managed to obtain his weapon . ”
Lu Zhou remembered the merit points he obtained from Si Wuya being punished . He nodded slightly . “Bring it here . ”
Mingshi Yin presented the Peacock Plume to Lu Zhou with both hands .
“Ding! Retrieved the heaven-grade weapon, Peacock Plume . Refining needed before use . ”
This was Si Wuya’s weapon . It was a rare, projectile-type weapon .
