Chapter 148 - The Cloud-splitting Chariot
However, Lu Zhou did not see a recommendation regarding its owner. The weapons he obtained before this would have recommended owners, but this box did not.
‘Shouldn’t it recommend Zhao Yue?’ An image of Zhao Yue’s hands becoming iron hammers appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind. ‘Uh… That looks unnatural. In any case, there’s no doubt this is a treasure, and it’s not inferior to Life Cutter.’
Lu Zhou recalled the weapon and exited the hidden chamber. When he arrived in the great hall, he noticed Little Yuan’er and Zhao Yue there.
‘Zhao Yue did not return to cultivate?’
When she saw her master appearing, Zhao Yue bowed and said, “Greetings, master.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Seventh Junior Brother has sent word that the Fiend Temple’s Master, Ren Buping, is also in Tangzi Town. Moreover…”
“Say it.”
“Master is asking you to hurry up,” Zhao Yue said.
“Fifth Junior Sister, just as well. We’re short of hands here… With you here, we now have three Divine Court realm cultivators… However, I think we’re still slightly short of people,” Mingshi Yin said with a frown.
When they were still discussing this matter, Lu Zhou arrived at the north pavilion.
Apart from Lu Zhou, Fan Xiuwen and the Dark Knights, Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong, were also present. The three of them were heavily guarded. Little Yuan’er, Duanmu Sheng, and Hua Wudao flanked them. They walked abreast with Lu Zhou as he sauntered over.
The other bowed.
“Master!”
“Pavilion Master.”
Lu Zhou glanced at the cloud-splitting chariot. He nodded with satisfaction and said, “Get on.”
Mingshi Yin said, “Master, Tangzi Town isn’t far from Golden Court Mountain… Why don’t we walk there? Using the flying chariot would draw a lot of attention.”
Little Yuan’er covered her mouth and giggled. She said, “Fourth Senior Brother, are you telling master to walk?”
Hua Wudao spoke with his hands on his back. “The cloud-splitting chariot has explosive speed. I heard the descendants of the Ten Shamans are in Tangzi Town right now. They’re skilled in Grand Witchcraft Formations. This chariot can bypass the Formation’s effects… Also, it’s a great means to chase down our enemies. Grand Techniques are too taxing, after all. Since we have a flying chariot, we should put it to good use.”
“Uh…” Mingshi Yin was rendered speechless by this.
The others leaped onto the flying chariot.
Several female cultivators tossed Fan Xiuwen and the others onto the chariot.
Fan Xiuwen spoke with a sour expression, “It’s useless to bring me along. She won’t be threatened by you. Although I’m the leader of the Black Knights, life and death don’t matter to me anymore.”
“Shut up! A lowly prisoner has no right to babble on and on!” Little Yuan’er snapped.
Shortly after, everyone was in the flying chariot.
“Why aren’t we moving? Come on… It’s been a long time since I rode the cloud-splitting chariot!” Little Yuan’er urged.
Mingshi Yin shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to bow and say, “We’re still short of two Divine Court realm cultivators to make this chariot fly.”
Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “Mingshi Yin.”
“Yes, master.”
“You’ll take the helm. A Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator can take the place of 10 Divine Court realm cultivators,” Lu Zhou said.
“Uh…” Mingshi Yin complained in dismay inwardly, ‘No way! Why is it me again?’ He hastily said, “Master, I’m one of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s main forces. For me to power the flying chariot… isn’t it slightly… you know…”
Lu Zhou’s gaze fell upon Mingshi Yin.
“Yu Zhenghai had taken the helm for 10 years, and he had never complained… Are you more precious than him?” Lu Zhou said indifferently.
“I dare not suggest that! It’s only a thoughtless comment. I’ll take the helm right away! I’m the best at steering, anyway!” Mingshi Yin quickly corrected his attitude. At the same time, he leaped onto the flying chariot and took the helm just as he was told.
Duanmu Sheng leaped onto the chariot as well. He patted Mingshi Yin’s shoulder and said, “Hey, don’t look at me. Master has ordered me to keep an eye on our prisoners. There can’t be any mistakes. Keep the chariot steady, okay?”
“…”
‘Third Senior Brother, you seem like an honest person, but you’re dark on the inside!’ Mingshi Yin appeared to be in pain. He placed a palm on the cloud-splitting chariot’s helm.
The others took their places.
The instant Primal Qi was injected.
Whizz!
After being idle for a long time, the resonance was much more impressive than before!
The vigorous energy activated the Formation veins and patterns of the flying chariot, and the cloud-splitting chariot lit up brilliantly!
The Primal Qi exuded from the Formation veins condensed into energy which pushed against the air outside, forming the thrust.
The skies above the north pavilion seemed to stir. The huge skiff slowly rose into the air while dragging a long tail behind!
