“…”

Zhang He had cultivated for many years, and his state of mind was as strong as a rock. He thought that he should not let the other party provoke him so easily.

The vines wrapped around the Meteor Hammer, no matter how the cultivator struggled, he could not free himself.

“Go down!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The countless vines shot out and weaved a net.

The Meteor Hammer user widened his eyes and exclaimed, “This works as well?!”

It was too late. In just a moment, countless vines bound the Meteor Hammer user and pulled him down from the sky.

Boom!

Mingshi Yin flashed and appeared above the Meteor Hammer user before he said with a smile, “Originally, I wanted to use this move to deal with Zhang He. Alas, he was too weak. It was just easier to attack from underground.” Then, looking very pleased with himself, he raised his head to the sky and said, “Is this all? Who else is there from Xuanyi Palace?”

Following that, a burst of laughter rang from the Southern Cloud Viewing Pavilion. “Old Fourth, I knew you could do it!”

Mingshi Yin replied to Duanmu Sheng, “There’s no challenge at all.” Then, he raised his head again and continued to say provocatively, “Come on. Who else is there?”

…

In the Dao hall.

Xuanyi frowned. This was an insult to his dignity. As the master of Xuanyi Palace, how could he tolerate this? He waved his sleeve again.

Two more cultivators leaped down.

…

“One is weaker than the other? Isn’t there anyone strong?” Mingshi Yin said upon seeing the two cultivators.

Mingshi Yin flew up. His style changed completely. As the Separation Hook circled him, his avatar appeared.

Boom!

The gigantic golden avatar cleared up a space and sent him higher into the sky before it disappeared.

It was a very old-fashioned move.

The two cultivators were still confused when Mingshi Yin appeared in front of them.

At this moment, Nan Li exclaimed, “Using the avatar to launch yourself? Young man, you’re thinking too much.”

“Old thing, you’re the one who’s overthinking!” Mingshi Yin said before he vanished into the sky.

Nan Li, who had misjudged the situation: “???”

The two cultivators were dumbfounded by Mingshi Yin’s constant disappearance and appearance.

“Another clone?”

“You’re right!”

Boom!

A tremendous force came at the duo from the back.

“Get down!”

Without any suspense, the duo fell from the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Mingshi Yin crossed his arms and hovered in the air as he said, “When I was bored, I created a bunch of Bluewood clones. They’re too cool, after all. I can’t help it that I’m a genius. Life is truly lonely at the top.”

“…”

Xuanyi’s expression was slightly sour.

Mingshi Yin raised his head again and said, “I say, no one in Xuanyi Palace can fight. Come on, come on. I’m knocking down two for the price of one!”

Xuanyi wondered inwardly, ‘Could it be that I have to personally make a move?!’

With his status, if word got out that Xuanyi interfered in the fights between the candidates for the position of commander, he would not be able to live it down for 1,000 years.

In the end, Xuanyi had no choice but to turn to Lu Zhou. “Pavilion Master Lu…”

Nan Li said, “This young man is truly interesting!”

This was Nan Li’s petty revenge. After all, Lu Zhou and Xuanyi had joined forces to mock him earlier. He was naturally delighted to see Xuanyi in this situation. He said goadingly, “Great Divine King Xuanyi, Zhang He has already lost. It won’t be considered breaking the rules if you make a move now.”

Nan Li thought to himself inwardly. ‘If you dare to make a move, I’m going to laugh at you for the rest of my life.’

Xuanyi naturally would not fall for such a trick.

At this moment, Lu Zhou said. “Young people don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Since it’s not convenient for Great Divine King Xuanyi to make a move, I’ll teach him a lesson.”

Nan Li asked, “Are you confident?”

“Of course.”

“Three moves. If Pavilion Master Lu can beat him to the ground within three moves, you can have the southern true fire,” Nan Li said smugly and confidently.

‘Doesn’t feel terrible to have what you want so close, and yet, so far?’

Lu Zhou frowned as he glanced at Nan Li.

The duo’s eyes met. Each of them had their own thoughts. One thought that the other was a fool, and another one thought that the other was now in a difficult situation.

“Very well,” Lu Zhou said indifferently.

Xuanyi nodded and said, “I’ll be the witness.”

Lu Zhou tapped his feet lightly. Without using the power of the Dao, he left the Dao hall. His body was light as he slowly descended like a snowflake.

Nan Li shook his head.

…

Lu Zhou continued to descend.

After descending to a certain level, Mingshi Yin raised his head. He was still saying, “I’ll beat all those who come! I’ll beat you to death, you turtle!”

Then, the expression of disdain on Mingshi Yin’s face was replaced by doubt, shock, fear, and all kinds of complicated feelings.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of Mingshi Yin. He did not use any power. He only stood with his hands on his back and looked at Mingshi Yin quietly.

“Ah!” Mingshi Yin let out a cry before he fell down from the sky.

Boom!

Mingshi Yin obediently lay on the ground with his limbs spread out before he said, “I lost!”

“???”

…

Xuanyi and Nan Li looked at each other in confusion.

“Did Pavilion Master Lu make a move earlier?” Nan Li asked.

Xuanyi said, “I think so. You’ve been absent-minded since earlier so you didn’t notice.”

“Is that so?” Nan Li was still confused.

…

Mingshi Yin continued to sprawl on the ground. Then, he covered his head as he pleaded, “Spare my life! Spare my life!”

Lu Zhou looked at Mingshi Yin quietly. No one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, Xuanyi’s voice rang from above. “Hurry up and beat him down!”

Mingshi Yin said loudly, “Beat my as*! I, I was just bragging earlier! Every single one of the people in Xuanyi Palace is an expert! Not only that, but they’re also magnanimous! Why don’t you just treat me like a fart? I, I will apologize to you another day!”

…

Nan Li: “…”

Xuanyi said with a smile, “Young man, you’re quite smart. With just a glance, you know a true expert when you see one!”

Nan Li frowned. ‘Why does it feel like all of them are putting on a show?’

…

“Get lost,” Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.

“Ok, ok, I’ll get lost now! I’ll apologize another day!” Mingshi Yin said as he flew toward the Cloud Viewing Platform.

Lu Zhou looked up at the Cloud Viewing Platform suspended high in the clear sky.
