Chapter 166: Nobody Can Do Anything About Me “Judging by the old villain’s temper, he’ll surely kill Wei Zhuoran without any hesitation... However, it’ll be wise for us to prepare for all eventualities,” the woman said.
Wei Zhuoyan smiled and said drily, “There’s no need to worry. I’m the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If I die, I’ll drag everyone down with me!” Based on his words, it was clear he did not mind having injustice done to others but not the other way around.
Wei Zhuoyan turned to look at the woman next to him and said, “Jingyi, you’ve been with me for many years. I know that you’re a cautious person, but you have a tendency to overthink things as well...”
“You’re right, General.”
“Have you forgotten about the previous lesson? The relationship between the Second Prince and Mo Li isn’t ordinary,” Wei Zhuoyan said with a mysterious and knowing smile.
“I have been overthinking things.”
Wei Zhuoyan rose to his feet, he surveyed the lake and said, “How many years does the Evil Sky Pavilion’s old villain has left? I can spend this time cultivating in seclusion at the center of Bluesun Lake. Ten years will pass by in just a blink of an eye. Moreover, the old villain will probably be busy with his personal affairs during these ten years, he probably doesn’t even have the time to bother with me.”
Rumor had it that the old villain only had ten more years to live. Moreover, a cultivator’s cultivation base would deteriorate as they age. There was no doubt someone from the cultivation world would strike first to get their hands on the Evil Sky Pavilion’s treasures. At that time, the Evil Sky Pavilion would cease to exist in this world
Wei Zhuoyan said with vigor in his tone, “It’s just ten years! I can wait it out! Nobody will be able to do anything to me!” Since his voice was laced with Primal Qi, it spread in the surroundings of the lake, causing ripples on the lake’s calm surface.
“That’s a brilliant plan, General.” Li Jingyi bowed slightly.
Wei Zhuoyan glanced at Li Jingyi with a pleased look and said, “Are there any updates about the Second Prince?”
“His Highness was saddened to hear you went to the Evil Sky Pavilion to admit to your sin, General. His Highness wanted to personally lead an army to march against the Evil Sky Pavilion, but he was dissuaded by Mo Li.”
“He certainly put on a good show,” Wei Zhuoyan said with a smile, “Did anyone else learn about my whereabouts?” This was the thing that worried him the most.
Li Jingyi replied, “Don’t worry, General. Aside from your four deputies and myself, no one is privy to your whereabouts!”
“Very good.” Wei Zhuoyan nodded and continued to say, “Even if someone were to come for me in Bluesun Lake, it doesn’t matter. I’m like a tiger that has been given wings...” He was a Seven-leaf avatar elite, after all. Regardless of who came, they might not be able to do anything to him.
Wei Zhuoyan was extremely pleased with his plans. He pointed at the azure sky in the distance and said, “Jingyi, don’t you think the scenery here is very captivating?”
“Yes, General.”
“Look, even the meteor is falling for me...”
In the distant skies, a meteor was moving toward them.
Li Jingyi looked up. She was a woman after all and was prone to girlish thoughts. She wanted to see a meteor as well. However, when she looked at it, she could not help but frown.
The meteor with a long tail behind it grew larger and larger. It seemed strange as it was not as short-lived as ordinary meteors. After all, meteors would disappear in a flash.
Li Jingyi said with a frown, “General, something’s not right.”
“Hm?”
“That looks like a flying chariot...”
“A flying chariot?” Wei Zhuoyan’s eyes widened when he turned to look. Now that the meteor had gotten considerably closer, he discovered it was a huge flying chariot all along! There were only a select few who owned such a flying chariot under the heavens.
At this moment, one of his deputies rushed into the cottage. He bowed and said, “General, we’ve detected the Evil Sky Pavilion’s flying chariot... Please execute our evacuation plan, General!”
Wei Zhuoyan shook his head and said, “No need for that.”
“General?”
“How could the Evil Sky Pavilion know of my whereabouts? They must be passing by Bluesun on their way to the Divine Capital...” Wei Zhuoyan said confidently.
Li Jingyi bowed and said, “I think something is amiss. It’s not a bad idea to hide so you won’t be seen, General...”
“Do you think that I’m afraid of the puny Evil Sky Pavilion?!”
From where they stood, the flying chariot was still quite far away. No matter how good one’s eyesight was, it was impossible for them to see Wei Zhuoyan from that distance.
Moreover, Wei Zhuoyan had a Seven-leaf avatar. The old villain might not even be in the flying chariot. If he ran away at the mere sight of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s flying chariot, how would he be able to command the three armies in the future? For this reason, he stood at his spot proudly as he looked at the cloud-splitting chariot in the sky.
The cloud-splitting chariot did not slow down.
Wei Zhuoyan pointed at it and said, “Just as I expected.”
“You’re wise, General!”
“You’re wise, General.”
Wei Zhuoyan’s two subordinates said in unison as they bowed.
Indeed. The cloud-splitting flying chariot did not slow down nor did it lower its altitude.
At the moment they heaved a sigh of relief, a faint golden cluster of light dropped from the cloud-splitting chariot.
One of his subordinates with keen eyes asked, “What’s that?”
The golden radiance seemed like a leaf as it fell toward Bluesun Lake. At the same time, another leaf shrouded in golden light fell again.
“This is bad! It’s a Daoist seal!”
The first golden light had already grown to the height of a tree at this moment, finally revealing what it was to everyone.
A Sole Diamond Seal surrounded with the shining golden scripts of ‘Power’ was shooting toward them. It was clear that it was targeted at Wei Zhuoyan.
Wei Zhuoyan was thoroughly shocked. This meant that all his seemingly meticulous plans had failed. He quickly raised his hand to defend against the descending Sole Diamond Seal.
Bam!
The Sole Diamond Seal sent Wei Zhuoyan flying back.
Boom!
Wei Zhuoyan crashed into the building in the middle of the lake. The building collapsed into rubble immediately.
At the same time, Wei Zhuoyan’s two subordinates were sent flying as well.
Meanwhile, a Great Blitz Treasure Seal surrounded by shining golden ‘Energy’ scripts followed the previous seal and flew toward Wei Zhuoyan as well.
Bam!
Wei Zhuoyan retreated further. A murderous expression appeared on his face as he mobilized his energy.
Hundred Tribulations Insight!
As soon as Wei Zhuoyan’s Seven-leaf avatar appeared, it gathered more energy toward him.
“General!”
“General!”
Wei Zhuo Yan’s four deputies and Ling Jing Yi who saw Wei Zhuoyan being sent flying by the seals had frightened expressions on their faces. All of them were in disbelief.
“There’s more!” Someone cried out.
More Daoist seals began to descend like leaves. The scene was reminiscent of a flock of cranes flying in a neat formation during their migration to the south.
The ‘leaves’ kept falling. Including the initial two ‘leaves’, there were a total of nine ‘leaves’. They were the Outer Circle Mystic Seal, the Inner Eight Words Seal, the Fetterless Seal, the Pantheon Seal, the Eight Trigrams Seal, the Magic Gourd Seal, and the Sun Moon Seal.
The seven Daoist seals seemed to have eyes of their own. They completely ignored the four deputies and Li Jingyi. They bypassed the crumbling building and shot toward Wei Zhuoyan.
Boom!
Boom!
Every script unleashed a loud explosion as they made contact and formed a wall of energy!
“Nine Cuts Hand Seals! A Buddhist grandmaster?” The four deputies were horrified. Although they were elites, when they saw the Nine Cuts Hand Seals, they gave up all notions of putting up a fight. Who would dare to block such a high-level skill?
“After him! We can’t let the general die!” Li Jingyi was the first to react. She rushed toward where the Nine Cuts Hand Seals had landed.
Bluesun Lake was surrounded by dense forests. Wei Zhuoyan was sent flying into the forest, leaving a path in his wake that seemed as though it had been created by humans.
None of them would believe this if they did not witness this with their own eyes.
