Chapter 796: Completely Defeated The Red Lotus

The Cloud Mountain disciples cleaned the cloud platform up. It now looked as though nothing had happened.

Meng Changdong’s words made everyone fall silent.

Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai frowned when they heard this. After a moment’s silence, the two of them exchanged a glance and stepped forward. “Master, requesting permission to return to the golden lotus domain!”

Sikong Beichen was already convinced that Lu Zhou was an elite from the golden lotus domain. He wondered in confusion, “Brother Lu has initiated his Birth Chart, and the overall strength of the golden lotus domain is much greater than the red lotus domain. Why are both of you so worried?”

“…”

The four Evil Sky Pavilion disciples remained silent. Could they tell Sikong Beichen there was only one Nine-leaf cultivator in the golden lotus domain? In general, the golden lotus domain was much weaker than the red lotus domain.

“Master, I want to go back as well.” Little Yuan’er came in between Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai as she said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, bring me with you! I’ll clobber those who dare bully my seniors to death!”

“…” Lu Zhou looked at his two eldest disciples and said, “It’ll take too long. I don’t think you’ll make it in time.”

Sikong Beichen said, “Brother Lu, since we have these many hostages from the Sky Martial Court, we can negotiate with them.”

Indeed, that was a sound suggestion.

“The Sky Martial Court has always been conceited. I’m worried they won’t bother with us.” Yao Qingquan was frequently in contact with members of the Sky Martial Court so he knew how prideful they were. The same could be said of the Flying Star House.

Meng Changdong cupped his fists and said, “Hall Master Yao has a point. I don’t think it’s the best moment for a negotiation unless we have another two major sects on our side.”

“This matter aside, do you have any way of obtaining information from the golden lotus domain?” Lu Zhou asked.

Meng Changdong paced back and forth as he pondered. Finally, he said, “I do, but it will be costly.”

“Let’s hear it.”

“We’ll need 1,000 rare paper talismans. At the same time, the people on the other side will have to set up the same talisman Formation as well. I know how to draw the Sky Martial Court’s talisman Formation, but… we don’t have any talismans,” Meng Changdong said.

Lu Zhou and Sikong Beichen turned to look at Nie Qingyun in unison, frightening and startling Nie Qingyun. He had been considering Cloud Mountain’s future so he was in a daze and was not paying attention to the conversation in his surroundings. When he felt the unnatural gazes on him, he realized what situation he was in and hastily said, “I’ll provide the talismans.”

“The wise adapt to the times. Nie Qingyun… In consideration of Brother Lu, I’ll put our quarrels behind us for now,” Sikong Beichen said.

“In consideration of Senior Lu, I won’t quarrel with you as well,” Nie Qingyun said before he ordered his men to collect all the talismans in the Twelve Sects.

“Talismans are divided into low, middle, high, and best quality as well. For an observation at such a range, using 1,000 best quality talismans is too costly. The requirements are high as well. We’ll also need the same Formation on the other side. Hence, even if I set up the Formation here, we might not be able to see anything,” Meng Changdong said.

Upon hearing these words, Nie Qingyun felt a pang of pain in his heart. However, this was not the moment to be frugal.

Lu Zhou asked, “Can we send a message?”

“Unless we have a contact among the Sky Martial Court’s group, and someone in the golden lotus domain has laid out the same Formation as well, it’s impossible to send a message with the power of the talismans,” Meng Changdong replied.

Lu Zhou nodded. It would be ideal if he could contact Si Wuya. Alas, it seemed like it would be difficult.

…

An hour later, the talismans were finally brought over and handed to Meng Changdong.

Meng Changdong drew a circle on the ground and began carving the Formation veins. He stuck the talismans onto the Formation and added more detailed inscriptions. He kept drawing for an hour on the ground. His head was drenched with sweat and he was panting heavily from the effort. Finally, he stood in the center of the Formation and said, “It’s done.”

Sikong Beichen saw how tired Meng Changdong was and asked, “Do you need help?”

“Do you know how, Senior Sikong?”

“Naturally.”

“…” Meng Changdong cursed at Sikong Beichen inwardly, ‘You could’ve said this an hour ago.’

If they had worked together on this Formation, things would have been done more quickly and easily.

However, considering the difference in their statuses, Meng Changdong could only smile stiffly and said, “Thanks. I’ve already made all the preparations.”

Shortly after, Meng Changdong joined his palms together and channeled his Primal Qi.

The inscriptions on the ground shone.

Buzz!

The talismans caught fire and floated up. They merged and formed talisman seals.

Between the talisman seals, a round area quickly appeared. The talisman seal seemed like a mirror as images began to appear.

“It worked!”

They were in luck.

The others seemed delighted as they gathered before the circle of talismans.

What they saw was the Sky Martial Court’s Sky Chariot. On the chariot, there was an Eight-leaf cultivator who was also sending a message with the same talisman Formation.

Through the Formation, they saw the Sky Martial Court’s Sky Chariot was already in the golden lotus domain.

100 cultivators leaped down from the chariot toward the golden lotus cultivators who guarded the coastline.

It was clear the golden lotus cultivators were weak. They were completely crushed by the cultivators from the Sky Chariot.

Upon seeing this, Sikong Beichen, Yao Qingquan, and Zhao Jianghe remained silent even though they were baffled.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong watched with a scowl on their faces.

“Master, we can’t afford to wait anymore! I request permission to storm the Sky Martial Court and force them to call off the invasion,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Sikong Beichen said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect them to act this quickly.”

As he watched the golden lotus cultivators being defeated in the image, Lu Zhou said evenly, “We’ll kill one of Sky Martial Court’s members for every life we lost.”

The others shivered despite the temperature.

At this moment, Yao Qingquan exclaimed in shock. “What’s that?”

In the Formation, they saw a colossal beast charging in. Thunderous explosions rang in the air as its feet moved on the ground, causing the earth to quake and the mountains to shake.

“There’s such a huge beast in the golden lotus domain?!” Zhao Jianghe exclaimed, surprised.

A Nine-leaf red lotus expert manifested his 150-foot avatar and flew toward the huge beast. The beast swiped with its paw.

Bam!

The Nine-leaf avatar recoiled.

A white-clad lady could be seen on the back of the beast. She flew out and attacked the Sky Martial Court’s Sky Chariot.

“Sixth Senior Sister! It’s Sixth Senior Sister!” Little Yuan’er cried out as she jumped in excitement.

The white-clad maiden was Evil Sky Pavilion’s sixth disciple, Ye Tianxin. At this moment, she fought alongside Cheng Huang. In just a moment, she turned the tides of the battle and killed the invading cultivators in a frenzy.

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 500 merit points. Domain extra: 500 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 500 merit points. Domain extra: 500 merit points.”

Whizz!

A Nine-leaf golden lotus avatar appeared. The rising flames surged toward one of the Sky Martial Court’s Nine-leaf cultivators.

“Karmic power!” Yao Qingquan was shocked.

Xia Changqiu immediately asked Little Yuan’er, “That’s your Sixth Senior Sister?”

“Of course! Do you think I won’t be able to recognize my Sixth Senior Sister?” Little Yuan’er said confidently.

“…” Xia Changqiu suddenly remembered Little Yuan’er’s words about how her fellow disciples from the Evil Sky Pavilion could easily smash their heads. ‘I… It seems like the little girl wasn’t exaggerating at all!’

Lu Zhou was surprised as well when he saw Ye Tianxin did not only reach the Nine-leaf stage, but she had mastered the karmic fire as well! With this, he felt more at ease.

At this moment, Yao Qingquan pointed at a peculiar radiance that was shooting toward Ye Tianxin. He cried out, “What’s that?”

“A desolate-grade weapon! A desolate-grade weapon is sneaking up on Miss Sixth?” Xia Changqiu was shocked.

The others looked over.

They saw a weapon that resembled a blade and a hook at the same time that moved at lightning speed.

Meng Changdong grunted. “Time’s up!”

The imagery blurred and ripples appeared briefly before disappearing completely.

With a whistle, the remains of the talismans scattered in the air.
