Chapter 363 Moving Clouds

“You think you have the right to be taught by me?”

There was no falsity in that statement .

Pan Zhong chimed in, “That’s right . You’re not the pavilion master’s disciple . Why should he teach you?”

“We don’t even have the honor, and we’re with the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Zhou Jifeng said solemnly .

“You should be grateful that you were allowed to be here and witness the pavilion master unleash his amazing strength . ”

The two of them spoke with one mind .

The others were slightly distracted by this .

Lu Zhou no longer looked at Shan Yunzheng . With a hand on his back, he tossed the Falling Moon Bow .

The bow flew toward Hua Yuexing . She hastily caught it . She was slightly overwhelmed by the favor . She asked tentatively, “Pavilion Master, does this mean…” “The Falling Moon Bow is yours to begin with . I’m giving you justice . The Falling Moon Bow will be returned to its rightful owner,” Lu Zhou replied . Hua Yuexing was excited when she heard this . She held the Falling Moon Bow as she fell to her knees and kowtowed at Lu Zhou . “Thank you, Pavilion Master!”

Shan Yunzheng was clearly displeased . Hua Yuexing was her disciple . The Falling Moon Bow was supposed to remain with her . She did not expect things to turn out this way . Various conflicting emotions rose in her heart, but she could not verbalize them .

Hua Yuexing carried the Falling Moon Bow and went to the side to study it . Indeed, her name was engraved on the bow .

Hua Wudao chuckled and said, “Congratulations . ”

“Thank you for your encouragement, Elder Hua . ”

“Alas, this Falling Moon Bow has acknowledged Shan Yunzheng as its owner . If you wish to unleash its full potential, it’ll have to be refined again,” Hua Wudao said as he looked at the bow .

An awkward expression appeared on Shan Yunzheng’s face when she heard the word ‘owner’ . She did not dare to say anything .

Lu Zhou glanced at Shan Yunzheng and said, “I’m familiar with Yun Tianluo in the past… His shooting skills were much superior to yours . ”

Shan Yunzheng was shocked to hear this . Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she said, “I didn’t know that you’re familiar with the patriarch, Pavilion Master… Please forgive me on account of that, Pavilion Master . ”

Lu Zhou looked at Shan Yunzheng as he stroked his beard, “Who owns the mount, Ba Wu?”

Shan Yunzheng said, “Third Elder Lu Ping!”

“Tell him that I want to see him . ”

“Understood!” Shan Yunzheng was overjoyed . This meant the Evil Sky Pavilion would spare her . As for Lu Ping? She really could care less about what happened to Lu Ping . Moreover when she recalled that Lu Ping was the one who lent her the mount and nearly caused her trouble, she was incensed . For this reason, she was delighted to hear the Evil Sky Pavilion wanted to see Lu Ping,

Lu Zhou waved his sleeve . Then, Shan Yunzheng left the Evil Sky Pavilion hurriedly with her four subordinates .

After some time, Zhu Honggong came flying back while carrying the mount, Ba Wu .

Boom!

He dumped the body on the ground .

The others walked up to it .

They saw the wolf-like Ba Wu . It had purple fur, bulging eyes, and protruding fangs . It looked hideous .

“It’s ugly!” Little Yuan’er cried out as she scrunched her face up into a disgusted expression . “Little Junior Sister, mounts are usually like that . There are many mounts that are uglier than this,” Zhu Honggong said with a smile .

The others continued to study the mount . Although Ba Wu had died, it was every say that they encountered such a mount . This would add to their knowledge .

“Master… please make a decision . ” Zhu Honggong bowed and made an inviting gesture .

Lu Zhou studied Ba Wu’s appearance as he stroked his beard .

Zhu Honggong said, “Master, this mount must’ve come from Heaven Moat Forest in the southwest . It has thick fur that can withstand the cold . I think its hide can be sold for 1,000 catties of silver, at least… These fangs, they’re rare artifacts . They can be used as medicinal primers and should fetch a price of 500 catties . As for its flesh, it’s not worth much . The flesh of such beasts is tough and has a strong smell . ”

The others regarded Zhu Honggong suspiciously . They did not know what he was talking about .

When he sensed the peculiar gazes directed toward him, Zhu Honggong scratched his head . “A force of habit… Sorry…”

Was the Evil Sky Pavilion in need of such things?

Zhu Honggong spoke again, “Master, that shot shocked the heavens and the earth . I can hear the ghosts and the gods crying as well . ”

“Enough . ” Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “Burn and bury it . ”

“Yes, master . ” Zhu Honggong conjured up his energy without a second thought . He carried the huge mount and brought it to the back of the mountain as if it weighed nothing .

Just when Lu Zhou was about to turn around and leave, Hua Yuexing bowed and said, “Pavilion Master, may I ask for a favor?”

“What is it?”

“I… I would like to learn the Meteor After the Moon . ”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “It’s not a high-level arrow skill at all . There are better skills in the books at the western and northern pavilions . When you’re at the Five-leaf stage, you may consider coming up with your own arrow skills . ”

When Hua Yuexing heard this, she said, “Thank you for enlightening me, Pavilion Master . ”

“I’ll help you refine the Falling Moon Bow once I have more time . ” After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion .

Hua Yuexing was slightly stunned by Lu Zhou’s words .

As Hua Wudao looked at Lu Zhou’s retreating back, he quickly spoke on Hua Yuexing’s behalf, “Thank you, Pavilion Master . ”

Refining a weapon was no small feat after all .

“Congratulations . ”

“Felicitations . ”

Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng cupped their fists and offered their congratulations . They were filled with envy and jealousy when they looked at the bow in Hua Yuexing’s hand . They longed for the day where they could have their own weapons as well .

Duanmu Sheng knew what was going through Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng’s minds . He brought his Overlord Spear down heavily on the ground . Clang! The ground cracked . “You can think about your weapons when you’re in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm . ”

“You’re right, Mister Third . ” Hua Wudao nodded in agreement . “Let’s call it a day . Elder Leng and I don’t have any weapons ourselves . Why do you insist on owning one?”

Upon hearing Hua Wudao’s words, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng felt much better . If an elder with a higher status and cultivation than them did not even have a weapon, as juniors, they should not be complaining . Moreover, the Falling Moon Bow was Hua Yuexing’s weapon, to begin with . It suited her best as well .

In the pavilion .

Lu Zhou called up the system dashboard and looked at his merit points again .

Merit points: 33,200 .

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou decided to try his luck with the lucky draws . If he could get the Ten Worlds avatar, it would make his day .

“Lucky draw . ”

“Ding! Spent 50 merit points . Obtained Reversal Card x1 . ”

A good start . He had some luck . However, the next ten consecutive draws resulted in ‘thank you’ messages . Lu Zhou looked at his luck points and muttered, “Lucky draw . ”

“Ding! Spent 50 merit points and 10 luck points . Obtained Reversal Card x10 . ”

Lu Zhou frowned . Was the system in collusion with the Reversal Cards? Perhaps, the system was giving him a hint? In any case, this was better than nothing .

Lu Zhou did another 20 draws . He was amused that the attempts resulted in ‘thank you’ messages . He finally lost the urge to continue .

After muttering to himself for some time, Lu Zhou called up the item mall . He purchased the avatar, the Ten Worlds .

“Ding! Obtained the avatar, Ten Worlds . Spent 30,000 merit points . Equip?”

Lu Zhou did not equip it immediately . He looked at the price of the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar .

Hundred Tribulations Insight: 100,000 .

“…” He fought the urge to curse as checked his remaining merit points .

1,600 .

It was a shame that he did not get Refining Talismans from the lucky draws . It was not something that could be bought like the other item cards . If he wanted to refine the Falling Moon Bow, he would have to try again when he had better luck . He could not afford to purchase anything else with his remaining merit points . It was not even enough to buy a Deadly Strike Card .

Lu Zhou was still lamenting his poverty when…

“Ding! Killed a target . Reward: 1,000 merit points . ”

Lu Zhou was no longer surprised by these notifications . He merely wondered which sect’s elder Yu Shangrong had targeted . He remembered the names on the list . None of them was worthy of any sympathy even if they died .

Finally, Lu Zhou said, “Equip . ” Shortly after, Lu Zhou felt a new power coursed through his veins . The Nine Transformations Yin Yang avatar faded away and was replaced by the Ten Worlds avatar .

Nightfall . On the roof outside the eastern pavilion .

Pan Litian and Jiang Aijian were merrymaking over wine .

“Why didn’t you tell the Empress Dowager that you’re the Third Prince?” Pan Litian asked as he looked at the moon in the sky .

“Elder Pan, why didn’t you tell Pan Zhong that you’re his fourth progenitor?” Jiang Aijian retorted with a chuckle .

Pan Litian straightened his back immediately and said, “Heh… I asked you a question . How can you reply with another question? Wait… How did you find out about this?”

Jiang Aijian said with a smile, “That’s easy . You were once close with the Fourth Prince at the southwestern border . I’ve investigated you back then . ”

“What a cunning brat . ”

The two of them were enjoying the conversation when there was a surge of power in the eastern pavilion .

Jiang Aijian was relatively new in the Evil Sky Pavilion . When he saw this, he frowned . “Did someone invade the Evil Sky Pavilion?”

Pan Litian shook his head and spoke with a tone that suggested that he was used to this, “You should get used to this . The pavilion master likes to try his hand in these peculiar undertakings . ”

“Is that so?”

Boom!

The accumulation of energy was completed . The eastern pavilion fell silent again .

Jiang Aijian turned around and nodded . He was just about to continue their conversation when there was another, more intense surge of power .

Boom! Boom!

It sounded much louder than the previous commotion in the eastern pavilion .

“Looks like there’s an enemy this time!” Jiang Aijian said as he scratched his head . “Looks like I’m quite popular in these parts . Even with news of my death circulating everywhere, there are still those who won’t leave me alone! What a pain!”
