The shining golden scripts appeared in the air and circled Hua Wudao. Then, they dropped down in a radiant circle.

Leng Luo, Hua Yuexing, and Duanmu Sheng looked down from above.

When Hua Wudao landed, the fire had already spread out in a line. It was picking up speed as it progressed toward Golden Court Mountain. However, he was in no hurry. He merely observed the direction and position of the fire with a slight frown.

Clearly, the fire was a pre-planned opening to their assault. The fire was getting closer.

After Hua Wudao was done with his observations, he calmly walked into the fire. When he took a step forward, the Eight Trigrams seal appeared under his feet and moved with him. The scripts surfaced from his body again. Heaven, earth, life, death, water, fire, being, non-being, and separation. The nine golden, shining scripts circled around Hua Wudao. As he walked into the flames, the scripts released a protective layer of energy that kept the fire at bay.

The sea of flames finally engulfed Hua Wudao. He placed both hands on his dantian and felt his Primal Qi surged. With the Eight Trigrams at the center, his Nine-script Six Compatible Seal expanded.

Whizz!

It resembled a shining golden bubble as it expanded.

As he witnessed this grand display, Leng Luo nodded and offered his praise. “He’s replicating the pavilion master’s Ten-scripts Six Compatible Seal. It would most definitely cover almost all of Golden Court Mountain. A Nine-script Seal... might just do the trick to put out the flames.”

Admittedly, the scene was slightly laughable. Indeed, it was somewhat a waste to task a grand Seven-leaf elite to extinguish a fire.

The glow and movements of the flames alerted the others in the Evil Sky Pavilion as well. They rose into the air and looked at the fire from afar.

Zhu Honggong appeared within sight and said, “That’s a big fire. I’ll have to report this to master.”

Before he could even turn around, he was stopped by Zhao Yue who had hurried over. She said, “There’s no need for that... I’ve gone to the eastern pavilion. Master is resting, and we shouldn’t disturb him.”

“Oh.” Zhu Honggong nodded.

The others saw the flames at the base of the mountain being pushed away by the huge radiant circle.

Nearly half of the fire was covered by the radiant circle and was extinguished immediately.

Hua Wudao did not stop there. He unleashed his grand technique and moved to a different spot. He extinguished the fire there with the same method. After using his Six Compatible Seal a couple of times, the fire around Golden Court Mountain was completely put out. Everything was dark once more.

Hua Wudao vanished from sight as well.

Darkness enveloped them. The dim moonlight was insufficient to illuminate much.

Leng Luo looked at Hua Yuexing. He noticed that her eyes were glinting with a faint golden hue. He nodded and praised her. “You display remarkable talent at your young age. I’m looking forward to seeing what you can achieve in the future.”

Duanmu Sheng noticed the peculiar display by Hua Yuexing as well. He asked, “What cultivation method is this?”

“Godly Archers usually engage in long-range attacks. They need great visual strength and the ability to fire rapidly. Most Godly Archers would focus on raising their cultivation bases, thereby improving their rapid-fire ability. However, focal strength is a secret art of the Luo Sect. With this, the user’s vision at night will be greatly enhanced,” Leng Luo explained.

“I see.”

Leng Luo sighed and said, “The younger generation is catching up, it seems.”

Hua Yuexing stopped using her secret art. Her eyes returned to normal as she said, “Elder Hua is still at the foot of the mountain. The fire was blazing earlier, and it can easily rekindle. He’s planning to wait.”

The others nodded.

Zhu Honggong quickly grew bored. “Here I was hoping for a show... If I’d known this was going to happen, I would’ve continued sleeping.”

Hua Wudao was indeed keeping an eye on the situation. He intended to prevent the people from rekindling the fire. He flew low above the ground. After completely extinguishing the flames, he landed.

Satisfied that there were no more issues, Hua Wudao shook his head and felt sorry to see the scenery before himself. For a few hundred meters, everything had turned to ash. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, more than ten people flew toward him.

They did not make much noise, but Hua Wudao could just pick up the sounds of their movements. He frowned slightly. It was better for him to return to the mountain as fast as he could.

The dozen or so men were flying toward him at top speed.

“Hua Wudao.”

Hua Wudao was slightly shocked. He looked ahead. When the newcomers were finally in sight, he saw their faces that were illuminated by the moonlight.

“Yun Sect’s Grand Elder Fang Wenxian?” Hua Wudao was confused. He did not think the Yun Sect was part of the Fiend Extermination Alliance. Moreover, the Evil Sky Pavilion had visited the Luo Sect’s first holy land. The Evil Sky Pavilion had also decided to not hold onto past grudges with the Yun Sect. What were they doing here? They were showing themselves after the great fire. This was too much of a coincidence. This was definitely suspicious.

Fang Wenxian brought with him more than ten men. They stopped and hovered in the air near Hua Wudao.

“Hua Wudao, on the orders of the patriarch, we are to take you back with us. If you’d kindly cooperate.” Fang Wenxian raised a hand and made an inviting gesture.

Hua Wudao frowned and said, “The patriarch has stopped caring about the affairs of the world a long time ago. Why would he give such an order?”

“You’ll have to take my word for it,” Fang Wenxian said. Then, he drew a golden arc across the moonlit night sky.

Whoosh!

Fang Wenxian’s expression darkened. He saw the energy arrow sailing toward him. He retreated and launched hand seals into the air to repel the attack.

“Hua Yuexing?!”

This energy arrow was shot by the Three-leaf Godly Archer atop the Evil Sky Pavilion, Hua Yuexing.

When Hua Yuexing saw what was happening, she had mercilessly fired the shot.

The fierce energy arrow shocked Fang Wenxian.

Hua Wudao chuckled and said, “Considering the fact that we’re once from the same sect, you should get lost... If the rest of them are here, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to.”

Fang Wenxian’s expression remained unchanged as he chuckled and said, “We’re already here, aren’t we? We won’t be leaving so easily.”

He waved his hand. The men he brought with him removed their hats, exposing their faces.

Hua Wudao’s eyes widened as he said in shock, “The ten elders of the Yun Sect? You...” He pointed a finger at Fang Wenxian, furious. However, when he recalled that he was no longer one of the ten elders of the Yun Sect and that his own position had been taken up by another, he realized there was no need for him to care. He suppressed his anger, waved his hand, and said, “Get lost now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.’

Fang Wenxian smiled and said, “That won’t do... unless the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch is willing to surrender the patriarch’s chessboard.”

“Hm?”

“The item stored by the patriarch within the chessboard is a treasure of the Three Sects. How can we hand it over to the Evil Sky Pavilion for nothing?” Fang Wenxian smiled and gestured with his hand.

At this moment, behind the ten elders who were hovering in the air, a younger cultivator appeared.

The young cultivator bowed in midair and said, “Master...”

Hua Wudao scowled and said, “Zhang Feifan?” It was Zhang Feifan who accompanied him during his first visit to the Evil Sky Pavilion. At that time, he had no idea that he would be staying in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He had kicked Zhang Feifan away because he had no choice and because he wanted to save his life. A long time had passed since then. Things seemed to have taken quite an unexpected turn.

Zhang Feifan said, “This will be my last time addressing you as my master. Please repent before it’s too late!”

“Is that how you talk to your master?!” Hua Wudao seethed with anger.

“If you repent, I’ll continue to be your disciple...” Zhang Feifan bowed.

“Get lost!” His soundwave rolled toward them.

Just when the soundwave was about to reach Zhang Feifan, the ten elders gathered and blocked it.

The soundwave dissipated into nothingness.

“Hua Wudao, you’re a senior, aren’t you? I feel ashamed on your behalf to see you pushing a junior around,” one of the elders said mockingly.

The Eight Trigrams appeared under Hua Wudao’s feet. A radiant circle appeared. “Seems like you’re here to look for trouble?”

Fang Wenxian spread his arms. With the same tone, he said, “Looks like you have no intention of repenting.”

The ten elders flew up.

The scripts emerged from Hua Wudao’s body again.

Ten energy arrows shot down from the direction of the Evil Sky Pavilion at the ten elders.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The ten elders launched hand seals at the arrows.

Hua Wudao’s Six Compatible Seal burst forth with radiance. He did not move forward. Instead, he was retreating at top speed.

At this moment, in the skies behind Hua Wudao, a black silhouette appeared. The moonlight glinted off his silver mask. His voice was deep and hoarse as he said, “Yun Sect’s ten elders? How bold of you.”

“Leng Luo?”
