My disciples are all villains.

Lu Zhou's eyes were as bright as a raging flame. He looked at Ba Wu that looked like it was the size of a palm as it flew further and further away, growing smaller with each passing second. He raised the Falling Moon Bow with his left hand as the sutra of the Heavenly Writing's third power surfaced in his mind.

Originating from nothing, but at the same time, it comes from everything. Living in samsara and learning from it. This was the power of past lives!

When the Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power surged, the space between his fingers began to emit a faint blue radiance.

The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion who had seen Lu Zhou using this power before could not help but feel excited.

Shan Yunzheng looked on with a complicated gaze. She was an extremely skilled archer. To her knowledge, at this distance, with the mount making a wild dash away, it was definitely out of shooting range. Let alone kill it, it was almost impossible to hit it. She shook her head.

At this moment, the Falling Moon Bow shook more violently.

Ba Wu was only the size of a bean now. In a few more breaths, it would completely vanish in the horizons.

Lu Zhou placed his right hand on the bowstring. He closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them again! A blue energy arrow materialized between his index and middle fingers.

Shan Yunzheng's eyes widened. She felt fear creep into her heart. 'Why does this energy arrow look exactly like mine?' This was a condensation method that she had personally created. She had never taught anyone this skill. How was this possible? She was in disbelief. There was only one possibility; when she had used the skill earlier, Lu Zhou had seen her and learned it immediately! She was in awe despite herself.

"Meteor After the Moon?" Shan Yunzheng uttered the name of the skill as she looked at the energy arrow. She named the skill 'Meteor After the Moon'. As the name suggested, it was like a meteor chasing after the moon when it was fired. Moreover, it complemented the Falling Moon Bow as well.

Whizz!

The Falling Moon Bow's string moved. The blue energy that shrouded the Falling Moon Bow intensified and grew in size. It was now twice the height of a man! A supersized bow and arrow were formed!

The others were shocked.

However, Shan Yunzheng noticed that the energy arrow seemed slimmer. "An improvement?" She wondered how Lu Zhou had improved it when she heard a loud noise.

Lu Zhou had unleashed the Meteor After the Moon.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the attack.

The blue energy arrow was like a meteor in the air as it shot toward Ba Wu that seemed like it was the size of a sesame seed. Could the arrow hit it at this distance?

The energy arrow shot out with a terrifying speed.

Everyone held their breaths as they stared unblinkingly at the energy arrow. Their heads turned from the right to the left as they followed the arrow's trajectory.

...

On land, the commoners who were working the fields, the occasional passerby cultivators, and the other cultivators flying at a low altitude, were also attracted by the unique sound. All of them looked up at the energy arrow.

"What's that?"

"Something flew out of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Strange."

"Let's not trouble ourselves with that. Anything can fly out of the Evil Sky Pavilion these days…"

The commoners were smart. They did not treat the Evil Sky Pavilion like an enemy. Therefore, they lived a peaceful life cultivating the fertile soil around the Evil Sky Pavilion. To them, evil was a subjective thing. They did not draw a distinct line between the Noble and Fiend Paths. Anything that did not cause them harm, they did not consider as evil. Most of them were already used to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Watching the happening in the pavilion had become the norm.

…

In order to get a better look, Duanmu Sheng, Zhao Yue, Little Yuan'er, and the others rose into the skies and gazed into the distance.

Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng were also hovering in midair.

Due to their curiosities, Hua Wudao, Hua Yuexing, and Shan Yunzheng rose into the air as well.

A brilliant scene greeted their eyes.

The energy arrow exploded like a firework in the distance, and a blast of purple gas emerged. Perhaps, it was too far away, they only heard the noise seconds later.

Bam!

The sound was brief and muffled.

"It's a hit!"

"Your might knows no bounds, master!"

"No way… Really?"

Shocked, amazement, disbelief. Shan Yunzheng trembled. She was a Six-leaf Godly Archer, after all. When she saw that Ba Wu was already a huge distance away, she was convinced it would be impossible to hit it. However, facts spoke louder than words. The energy arrow Lu Zhou had fired had hit Ba Wu against her expectation.

The purple rippled into the surroundings. It lingered for a while before it finally disappeared.

"Ding! Killed a mount. Reward: 1,500 merit points."

Lu Zhou was pleasantly surprised to be rewarded for killing a mount. However, his expression remained unchanged as the faintly blue energy disappeared. He gauged his remaining Heavenly Writing power. He had used about one-third of it. This burst of energy that used one-third of the extraordinary power was nowhere near as powerful as the burst of energy on the Lotus Dais. Based on this, he speculated that the amount of energy he could store would only allow him to fire three shots of energy. Naturally, if his opponent was too powerful, he could unleash all of the energy in one go. Finally, he ordered, "Retrieve the body!"

Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, hastily replied in a loud voice, "I'll do it… Don't move, everyone!"

The others looked at Zhu Honggong in confusion, wondering what he was up to.

"How could I allow my fellow disciples to undertake such a menial task? Allow me to go… You may not know this, but mounts like that one are especially filthy. Their hides are coarse, and their flesh is thick. They're heavy as well."

The others nodded.

'Old Eighth, way to go.'

'Mister Eighth is really flexible.'

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. "Go, then. Be careful of the witchcraft spell."

Zhu Honggong rose into the air. He unleashed his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar and flew toward the spot where Ba Wu crashed.

…

Meanwhile, inside a certain dark room.

Puh!

Ba Ma's eyes snapped open. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor.

"Impossible!"

He had been controlling his mount remotely. It was akin to him being one with his mount. When his mount died, he, naturally, suffered a backlash. This was the shortcoming of witchcraft.

At this moment, an incredulous expression could be seen on Ba Ma's face. He had been planning this for a long time. With this move, he could attack the Evil Sky Pavilion and drive a wedge between the Luo Sect and the Evil Sky Pavilion. It was a win-win situation. However, it seemed like he had grossly underestimated the Evil Sky Pavilion's strength.

Ba Ma lifted his hand and pressed his chest. A hint of disbelief could be heard in his voice as he muttered to himself, "It's impossible for Shan Yunzheng to be this powerful! How did she do it?"

He knew about Ba Wu's defensive strengths better than anyone else. Even a Seven or Eight-leaf Nascent Divinity Tribulation elite could not say for sure they could kill Ba Wu in such a short time. Moreover, he had seen Ba Wu fleeing at an exceptional speed earlier. Through the mount's eyes, he could barely see the outline of the Evil Sky Pavilion and Golden Court Mountain from that distance.

How was it possible for the Six-leaf Shan Yunzheng to be so strong? He refused to believe it!

Ba Ma's face was ghastly pale as he clenched his fists. The death of his mount was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. Before him, the remote-control Formation darkened. He said resentfully through gritted teeth, "Evil Sky Pavilion…"

…

Lu Zhou landed slowly.

At this moment, Shan Yunzheng walked up to him and reverently said, "Your wonderful arrow shot has widened my horizons, Pavilion Master. If I may inquire… that arrow was…"

Lu Zhou raised a hand and cut her short.
