Chapter 291 The White Lady
“I know what to do . ” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded .
“Thank you, old senior…”
Lu Zhou leaped onto Whitzard .
Little Yuan’er sat in front while Qin Jun stood on Whitzard’s back as it flew toward the Evil Sky Pavilion .
With the Demon Sword on his back, Jiang Aijian left the Mausoleum of Swords a happy man .
Meanwhile, inside the secluded hut .
The gray-robed cultivator, Ye Zhixing, appeared . He bowed and said, “Sect master, the old senior has safely left the Mausoleum of Swords . The Demon Sword is now in Jiang Aijian’s hands . ”
Si Wuya opened his eyes . He looked at the sun and said with a sigh, “It’s good enough that he left… Did you find out anything about Jiang Aijian?”
“That man’s movements are unpredictable and secretive . We found nothing yet . ”
“Continue your investigation . ”
“Understood . ”
Si Wuya stood up . He placed his hands on his back and asked, “Any news from the four other mice?”
Ever since the disturbance at Upper Prime City, the Darknet had established a connection with the Five Mice… They were not Darknet members, after all . From his understanding of their temper, they might very well do something outrageous . “In reply to your question, sect master, there’s no news about the Five Mice yet . ”
“What about the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Si Wuya asked .
“I don’t think the Five Mice will be so bold as to attack the Evil Sky Pavilion again… Now that the Evil Sky Pavilion has someone like Leng Luo, it’s as easy as killing a chicken for him to kill them,” Ye Zhixing said .
“What’s the situation with Eldest Senior Brother?” Si Wuya asked .
“The Righteous Sect has six altars, and the Green Jade Altar proves to be the most difficult to deal with . The remaining five altars won’t be a problem . Sect Master Yu wishes to ask your opinion on this,” Ye Zhixing reported .
Si Wuya pondered over this for a moment before he said, “Eighth Junior Brother and I have been to the Green Jade Altar before . We’ve secretly drawn the Formation back then . Give it to Eldest Senior Brother . ”
“As you command, sect master,” Ye Zhixing said with a bow .
Si Wuya understood Yu Zhenghai’s thoughts . The Clarity Sect was done for, and the days of the Righteous Sect were numbered . Yu Zhenghai had been itching to take the Righteous Sect down for a long time now… Yu Zhenghai had no intention of asking for his opinion at all, it was only a pretext . What he wanted was the schematics of the Formation .
The Evil Sky Pavilion .
Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er finally arrived in the Evil Sky Pavilion .
Duanmu Sheng walked up to them with the Overlord Spear in his hand . He kneeled and said, “Master… you’re finally back . ” “What happened?” Lu Zhou noticed that Duanmu Sheng did not seem to be in a good mood .
“Lu Qiuping… has been rescued,” Duanmmu Sheng said .

When Lu Zhou heard this, he frowned . These mice are audacious . They should’ve learned their lesson when they were here last, and yet, they’re still as impudent as ever . ’
“Where’s Old Fourth?” With Mingshi Yin’s abilities, even if he could not capture the Five Mice, he should have been capable of pushing them back .
“Old Fourth? Old Fourth went to the Divine Capital… Didn’t you see him, master?” Duanmu Sheng asked, clearly shocked .
Lu Zhou had just returned from the Divine Capital . He did not meet Mingshi Yin . They must have missed each other .
However, Lu Zhou was not worried that anything would happen to Mingshi Yin . Moreover, Mingshi Yin had a tendency to surprise him . He decided to let Mingshi Yin be . Based on the current situation, there was not much need for him to restrict his disciples compared to when he had just transmigrated .
Duanmu Sheng continued to say, “They didn’t steal anything . They merely rescued Lu Qiuping . Elder Hua and Lady Yuexing injured them! Those mice were too cunning…” As soon as Duanmu Sheng finished speaking, Hua Wudao and Hua Yuexing walked over from the distance .
Hua Yuexing bowed and said, “I was incompetent and let the Five Mice escape . Please punish me, Pavilion Master . ”
Hua Wudao was not skilled in attacks, after all . It was understandable that he could do nothing about the Five Mice . However, as a Godly Archer, Hua Yuexing had allowed the Five Mice to run away . Clearly, the Five Mice were more cunning than your ordinary villains .
After a moment of silence, Lu Zhou said, “We’ll talk about the Five Mice at a later date . That’s all for now . ”
After busying himself for a few days, Lu Zhou wanted some time to himself .
“Understood . ”
The others bowed .

In a certain forest .
“Big brother, Fifth Brother’s cultivation base has been sealed . We can’t do anything about it for the time being . What do we do now?”
The person in the lead was the eldest among the Five Mice, Han Yufang .
Han Yufang glanced at Lu Qiuping who was leaning against a tree stump and said, “The most dangerous place is the safest place… The Evil Sky Pavilion will never expect us to be resting near the Golden Court Mountain . ”
“That’s brilliant, big brother . However, we can’t do this forever . It’s been two days,” Xu Wen, Old Second, said .
Jiang Tang, Old Third, spat the foxtail grass he had been holding between his teeth and said, “I think big brother’s right . We should wait for an opportunity before making a move… Our rescue mission will surely raise their alarm . We can only be in peak condition once we have fully recovered from our injuries . ”
“Big brother, third brother has a point . Rescuing someone isn’t our strong point . It’s a shame that we weren’t able to steal anything from the Evil Sky Pavilion after being there twice . Riches are attained by taking risks . We’ve already offended the Evil Sky Pavilion, anyway . Once we get our hands on some treasures… We can change our identities and live elsewhere . When old villain Ji is six feet underground 50 years later, nobody can do anything to us,” Liu Yunbai, Old Fourth, chimed in,
The others nodded .
Lu Qiuping bore with the pain on his body and said, “Thank you, big brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, for sticking out your necks to save me . ”
“We’re all brothers, there’s no need to make a big deal out of this . ”
While they were making plans about their next big heist, a cold breeze blew through the forest .
Rustle!

“Who’s there?!” The leader of the Five Mice, Han Yufang, turned and looked into the depths of the forest .
Cultivators had keen senses to begin with . On top of that, the Five Mice were born with keen perceptions . It was a bright and sunny day . The sudden and peculiar breeze alerted them immediately .
The Five Mice got up at once .
A figure slowly came into view on the small path . The figure was clad in a white cloak, white dress, and white shoes while she held a white umbrella . The figure even had white hair . The lady had delicate and charming features .
The five of them were momentarily stunned . They had never seen a woman who dressed in such a manner . She seemed to have descended from the heavens and did not seem like a mortal .
The lady stopped moving when she was ten meters away from them .
Han Yufang was the first to react . He frowned . ‘What lady would come here out in the wilderness?’ Despite his thoughts, he said, “Will you grant us the pleasure of knowing your name, milady . Where did you come from and where are you going?” Xu Wen said with a smile, “Out in this wilderness… My fair lady, why don’t I escort you back to your home?”
The lady raised her eyes and swept it across the five of them . She said, “The Five Mice?”
“You know us, milady?” Han Yufang was stunned . He instantly raised his guard .
“Heh, see that? Our fame as the Five Mice… Yes, that’s right . We’re the Five Mice . ”
“This is my big brother, the leader and strategist, Han Yufang . This is my second brother, the one without a shadow, Xu Wen . I…” Jiang Tang thumped his own chest,” am invincible underwater, Old Third, Jiang Tang . This man beside me is my fourth brother, he’s like the breeze, Liu Yunbai… Finally, here’s my fifth brother, the great escape artist, Lu Qiuping…”
The lady nodded slightly . “That’s good . ”
Han Yufang found this strange . He asked, “Milady, you’ve yet to answer my question . ”
The lady’s gaze fell on Han Yufang . “It’s meaningless to answer the question since all of you are about to die . ”
