Chapter 94 - Separation Hook
Initially, Mingshi Yin thought Lu Zhou was being rough. However, joy overwhelmed him when he felt the witchcraft Restriction in his body had disappeared. Although he was reeling from the impact, he did not feel unwilling or dissatisfied.
Clang!
Mingshi Yin crashed onto the rack of weapons, causing the weapons to fall on the ground.
…
Meanwhile, in a dark room in Great Yan’s palace.
From the glow of a candle that was blocked by a screen, one could see the room was in a mess.
Behind the screen, a girl dressed in brocade garments was cultivating with her eyes closed. Her expression changed slightly before she suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Furious and flustered, she swiped her hands across a table, sending everything on the table to the ground. She mumbled with a hint of fear, “Someone managed to break my spell? Who is it?”
…
The next morning.
Lu Zhou felt extremely invigorated. After he closed the Heavenly Writing’s interface, he left the hidden chamber.
Little Yuan’er was waiting for him in the great hall. Her eager expression told Lu Zhou that she wanted to go out as well. When she saw her master, she ran over and said, “Master, master… I want to ride Whitzard! I don’t want Bi An!”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “Childish!” He wanted to reprimand her but eventually, decided to satisfy her whim. After all, he was old and could not endure a rocky journey.
Both of them walked out of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Little Yuan’er flashed a grin at Mingshi Yin who had just arrived. Mingshi Yin followed them outside the great hall.
When they were outside, Whitzard appeared on a cloud from Golden Court Mountain’s forest.
When he saw the appearance of the legendary mount, Mingshi Yin was so envious that his eyeballs nearly dropped out from their sockets. If he could have a mount like this, he was willing to endure beatings every day.
“Master, I want to sit up front!” Little Yuan’er pointed naughtily at the front part of Whitzard’s back.
Lu Zhou said nothing.
Whitzard’s back was wide, and the rider would have a clear view of the scenery in front. Its flight was extremely steady so it would not interrupt one from enjoying the scenery.
When the two of them eased themselves on its back, Whitzard gave a low growl before it launched itself into the air and disappeared into the horizons.
Mingshi Yin ran after them and searched the skies, but Whitzard could no longer be seen.
…
While Whitzard flew in the sky, Lu Zhou inspected the system dashboard. He had 2,210 merit points left. He did not buy any item cards and decided he would only buy them, based on the situation he was in, when he needed them. For instance, if he was in a dangerous situation that he could not defuse, he could pick four Impeccable Cards. If he had enough time, he would leave the area on Whitzard’s back.
…
Two hours later.
Whitzard began slowing down and descended from the sky.
“Master, are we there already?” Little Yuan’er seemed reluctant to alight from Whitzard’s back.
Lu Zhou ignored her and continued to urge Whitzard to land.
Little Yuan’er had no choice but to dismount once they landed.
Lu Zhou recalled Whitzard and surveyed his surroundings. He said, “We’re close to Measure Heaven River. Whitzard will attract too much attention.”
“Master, since you’re so powerful, you can just make your way there and kill all of them, right?” Little Yuan’er asked in confusion.
“Are you talking back to your master…” Lu Zhou said in a chiding tone. The master’s words were law after all!
Both of them were about to rest when Little Yuan’er suddenly said, “Master, someone’s approaching us!” She proved to be useful at this moment.
Soon enough, several cultivators could be seen flying above the forest on flying swords.
“Ji Tiandao’s coming for us! Run!”
“The villains of the Evil Sky Pavilion are here! Hurry!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The cultivators flew past Lu Zhou’s and Little Yuan’er’s heads in broad daylight.
When a Brahman Sea Eight Meridians realm cultivator flew past them, he good-naturedly advised them, “Old man, quickly run! The old villain, Ji Tiandao, is coming! Are you sick of living?!”

Whoosh!
The cultivators flew at speed and disappeared into the forest.
Little Yuan’er pouted and asked skeptically, “Master, when did you chase them?”
