The cultivators in the pavilion scattered. They looked at the incoming cage and exchanged glances among themselves.

Run! Thats the Evil Sky Pavilions great villain!

The Evil Sky Pavilions villain is here?

What are you still standing there for? You good-for-nothing, you wet your pants?

At this moment, the cultivators finally realized who the young lady who had easily made it to the ninth floor was. Young lady of a rich family, well-educated, and well-rounded girl Nonsense! Nothing was more terrifying than a polite villain!

The cowardly cultivators knees buckled. It was difficult for them to move.

At this moment, more than half of the cultivators had disappeared. Only a brave few remained hidden behind the pillars.

Meanwhile, Yanzi Yunsan took off, shooting through the forest.

Lu Zhou stood on top of Skylark Pagoda. His range of sight was widened due to his high vantage point. Even so, Yunsans speed truly exceeded his expectations. To be safe, he swung his arm again and threw another two Binding Cage Cards into the air.

In addition to the first one, there were now three activated Binding Cage Cards.

Lady Jade and Hua Yuexing were stunned.

What sort of techniques is this? It has such a long range of attack? Witchcraft? Some sort of arcane art? Perhaps, its a secret technique only Godly Archers know? Hua Yuexing, one of the Divine Capitals Three Godly Archers, racked her brains but still could not think of any Godly Archers skills that were like this. Although there were many techniques she had yet to master, she had studied many books when she was in the Luo Sect so she was privy to many Godly Archers techniques. This was unprecedented and never-seen-before.

Mingshi Yin seemed to have read Hua Yuexings mind. He said, Since you want to clear the misunderstandings with the Evil Sky Pavilion, why didnt you make a move earlier?

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuexings heart skipped a beat. Lady Jade was taken aback as well.

Hua Yuexing hastily bowed. I was distracted. Please forgive me, senior.

Lu Zhou waved his arm and said, Forget it.

Even if Hua Yuexing made a move, she might not be able to hit Yunsan. Yunsans cunning had far exceeded his expectations.

The Binding Cage Cards had locked onto their targets. It would depend on luck whether they would land true.

As Lu Zhou looked at the Binding Cages that were flying further and further away, he said indifferently, Can you get away?

He waved his arm. A deep roar rang from the pagodas vicinity.

In just a moment, Bi An charged toward him from the clouds.

A legendary mount! Lady Jade, Han Yuexing, and the soldiers at the bottom of the pagoda stared at Bi An with their mouths agape. Bi Ans appearance and speed were nothing like anything they had ever seen.

On the contrary, Lu Zhous disciples were already used to this.

Lu Zhou leaped to the side, and Bi An obediently caught him on its back before it chased after Yunsan.

Well wait for your good news, master! Lu Zhous three disciples shouted in unison.

Even with three Binding Cage Cards, Lu Zhou was not certain they would hit Yunsan. After all, probability could never explain the fate and experience of a person with the most rotten luck. Initially, he had thought he would let Yunsan go if the cards did not hit their target. However, he changed his mind when he heard Yunsans words.

The great master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, the greatest villain in the world, would never let Yunsan go.

With Bi An here, it would be easy to deal with this matter. All Lu Zhou had to do was follow the Binding Cages. After all, they had already locked onto Yunsan. Yunsan might be cunning, but could he outrun Bi An?

Lu Zhou rode on Bi An as it pursued the three Binding Cages like the wind.

The first Binding Cage was now ten meters wide, and it was still expanding.

The Binding Cages continued to fly after their target.

Bi An had moved so quickly that it caught up to the cages in just a blink of an eye.

Lu Zhou surveyed the mountain terrain as he sat atop Bi An. The forest was too dense. The canopies obstructed his view.

Fortunately, Lu Zhou was now in the Divine Court realm. It seemed that Bi Ans wildness effect was negligible and did not affect him much.

Lu Zhou lowered his altitude.

At this moment, the three Binding Cages could no longer be seen from Skylark Pagoda.

Everyone waited silently.

Meanwhile, Yunsan flitted in and out of trees. He chuckled. Even when the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects joined forces, they couldnt catch me You think you can catch me from that distance?

It had to be said that Yunsans speed was shocking.

After sprinting for about 20 miles, Yunsan finally slowed down. His cultivation base was only in the Divine Court realm. However, in terms of speed, he was on par with a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm expert. He made no stops along the way. His pursuer would need to use a grand technique to catch up to him.

The deeper parts of the forest laid further north. It would be much easier for him to find a place to hide there. After a while, he relaxed and decided to stop.

Evil Sky Pavilion Patriarch of the Fiend Path I Wait, what What is that? He was still crowing about his triumph when he sensed something falling from above. He looked up and saw a massive, square cage descending from the skies.

Regardless of how profound ones cultivation base was, they would still be shocked by this sight.

Yuansan had never seen such a thing before.

Bzzt!

The Binding Cage was about to land on Yunsan when it suddenly rippled and vanished into thin air.

Yunsan was puzzled. It disappeared? He was still mulling over the cages disappearance when a second cage shining with golden light appeared.

Yunsan trembled before he began to move again. This was too strange. He recalled the scene back at Skylark Pagoda, at that time, the Evil Sky Pavilions patriarch had casually cast a technique similar to this golden cage.

Yunsan A voice rang from behind Yunsan. He turned around instinctively and was greeted by the sight of Bi An baring its fangs and claws as it charged at him.

Lu Zhou stood on Bi Ans back. His energy shield was streamlined.

Sh*t! Primal Qi surged out of Yunsans body, and he ran even faster.

Bi An lunged as it roared loudly.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Several trees crashed in Bi Ans wake. In just a second, it knocked into Yunsans back.

Bam!

Yunsan grunted in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell forward. Then, he suddenly vanished into thin air.

A ground escape technique?! Lu Zhou ordered Bi An to stop. He was in no hurry at all.

The second and third cages reached Yunsan at this moment as well.

Lu Zhou understood ground escape techniques very well. When the cultivator was underground, his speed would decrease tremendously, and the consumption of his Primal Qi would increase.

With Bi An here, Yunsan would be hard-pressed to escape even if he sprouted wings.

The second cage dropped down 20 meters before Lu Zhou. Then, it vanished. The hit was not triggered.

The third cage arrived. It was like a net that covered heaven and earth. Web-like lines appeared on the ground and zeroed in on the target from all directions. Clearly, the hit rate had been triggered this time.

This was extremely reminiscent of the situation back in the Evil Sky Pavilion when the Binding Cage captured Fan Xiuwen. It was as impressive, if not more.

Although the Evil Sky Pavilion was spacious, it could not compare to nature itself.

Lu Zhou saw that the landing spot of the third cage was different from the second cage even though it was not by much. It moved about 20 meters forward before it dropped down.

From the skies, it was like a net was dropped onto the dense forest. Hundreds of trees were instantly fell by the web. The fallen trees and debris were caught in the net until the net suddenly transformed into a square cage, and they were all ejected.

Soon enough, a square patch of barren land was formed in the middle of the forest.

Bzzt

The golden shining cage seemed to be electrified as it sank into the ground.

Ahh! A loud wail rang from below ground.

The Binding Cage had captured its mark.

Lu Zhou ordered Bi An to descend. After he dismounted, Bi An obediently trotted to the side and sat down.

Lu Zhou walked over to where the cage had landed with his hands on his back.

Cultivators who were imprisoned by the Binding Cage would have their cultivation bases sealed. It was the same for Fan Xiuwen. Therefore, Lu Zhou was not afraid of Yunsan escaping. He waited patiently as he stroked his beard.

It did not take long before Yunsans deep and muffled cries rang from beneath the ground. He He seemed to be crying

Lu Zhou projected his voice. Yunsan, are you still trying to run away?

Yunsan did not seem capable of talking apart from crying.

Lu Zhou waved his arm. Bi An gave a guttural growl as though it was excited. Then, it ran over and began clawing at the ground.

In no time at all, Bi An dug Yunsan out of the ground.

Yunsan was so frightened that he called for his parents when Bi An bared its fangs at him.

No, no, no Old senior! Have mercy! Please spare me, old senior! Yunsan kept begging for mercy. When he saw the greatest villain standing beside him, he could not help but tremble. He had never been this afraid in his entire life. He wanted to move, but he could not. He was firmly bound by a shackle that seemed to be molded to his body.

Take him away. With that, Bi An carried Yunsan between its jaws.

Meanwhile, everyone, apart from Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Little Yuaner, waited anxiously in Skylark Pagoda.

After a while, Lady Jade finally said, The old senior is advanced in age. Isnt it a bit too much for him to personally capture Yunsan?

Mingshi Yin said confidently, You dont have to worry. Masters abilities can shock the heavens. Id be damned if Yunsan can escape from this.

I meant no offense, please forgive me.

Lu Zhou rode on Bi An and returned to Skylark Pagoda from the north.

Bi An could be seen carrying a person in its jaws. It was the only successor of the Pickpocket Sect who was running away just moments ago, Yanzi Yunsan.

The cultivators who did not run away witnessed this scene.

Yunsan is caught!

The only successor of the Pickpocket Sect is caught!

Somehow, the Evil Sky Pavilion earned the respect of these cultivators. The sole successor of the Pickpocket Sect was renowned for his cunning. He was even capable of escaping the joint pursuit of the elites from the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects after he stole from them.

In terms of cunning, he was much more cunning than the leader of the Black Knights, Fan Xiuwen. Fan Xiuwen had strength on his side, and he could deal with various situations easily. Yunsan, on the other hand, was in the Divine Court realm. He could be regarded as peerless for being able to achieve this.

Lady Jade stood up suddenly.

Hua Yuexing tightened her grip on her bow instinctively. Her knuckles whitened.

Bi An flew into Skylark Pagoda and spat Yunsan out. It did not care about Yunsans life.

Lady Jade was in awe.

Your amazing powers know no bounds throughout the ages

Its one thing to say that his powers know no bounds, but whats with throughout the ages?

While they waited on the pagoda, Lady Jade felt that Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuaner were normal. However, Mingshi Yin was unpredictable with his scathing remarks that were capable of sowing discord.

Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuaner merely bowed.

Lady Jade bowed and said, Thats a shocking display of strength, old senior. Its a breathtaking sight to witness.

Hua Yuexing cupped her fists without saying anything.

Lu Zhou walked up to the stone table, stroked his beard, and sat down. His gaze fell on Yunsan who was lying on the floor. Yunsan, Ill be asking you questions All you have to do is to answer them.

Yes, yes Yunsan got up with great difficulty and kneeled on the floor. He did not even dare to breathe heavily.

Where are the remaining Sky Fragments? Lu Zhou asked.

Yunsan gulped. He lowered his head and answered, Three of them are in the palace, but two of them were placed in Skylark Pagoda One of them is in the Clarity Sects Mo Qis hands. The other one is with the Temple of Great Emptiness

The Temple of Great Emptinesss Sky Fragment must have been the one that was given to the Heaven Choice Temples monk, Xu Liao. As for the three fragments in the palace, Little Yuaner had obtained two of them, and Jiang Aijian had removed one from the warehouse. There were still three fragments unaccounted for.

Lu Zhou remained silent. He waited for Yunsan to continue.

Yunsan looked up and stole a glance at Lady Jade who was sitting at the side. He spoke again, The other three He stammered and could not string a full sentence together.

Mingshi Yin went up and kicked him. Stop dallying! Spit it out!

Yunsan muttered, I I should Should I say it or not He did not know if he should reveal what he knew.

At this moment, Lady Jade who sat at the opposite side of the stone table, said coldly, Dont you even know what you should and shouldnt say?

Lu Zhou shifted his gaze from Yunsan to Lady Jade. Do you know how I know hes Yunsan?

Lady Jades heart skipped a beat. However, the smile on her face did not falter as she said, Im only a woman who knows nothing about cultivation. I have no idea.

Realization dawned on Mingshi Yin at this moment. He smiled as he said, I get it.

Explain it to them. Lu Zhou was feeling lazy to speak at length.

The hooks, kite, and the contraptions in the river had to be set up beforehand Since Skylark Pagodas master is from the Divine Capital, he could easily be involved with the people from the palace. Yunsan alone couldnt have done that. This means theres someone else backing Yunsan Mingshi Yin said.

Lady Jade applauded and said, That makes sense If thats the case, who could it be?

Someone who holds a grudge against the Evil Sky Pavilion. Someone who knows Skylark Pagoda well Mingshi Yin said.

At this moment, Yunsan suddenly leaped out of the window.

Exclamations of shock could be heard at the bottom of the pagoda.

Hua Yuexing said angrily, Running away? Not so fast! She pulled on her bowstring. Energy surged and formed a shining golden arrow.

Twang!

Han Yuexing did all this in a breath.

Bam!

The Overlord Spears thousands of shadows blocked the arrow. Duanmu Sheng did a somersault in the air and shattered Hua Yuexings energy arrow.

Meanwhile, the scarlet Nirvana Sash shot out and caught Yunsan in midair.

Little Yuaner pulled the sash tautly as though Yunsan was a kite she was flying. She said with a smile, Master Isnt that amazing?

Yunsans cultivation base had been sealed. He could not run away even if he leaped out of the window like this. In that case, why did he try to run?

Lu Zhou looked at Hua Yuexing and said, Were you trying to silence him?

Hua Yuexing took a step back. She trembled. I dare not. I merely wanted to help you, old senior! Indeed, she was a Godly Archer, but in close quarters, Duanmu Sheng could take her life away at any moment.

Skylark Pagoda was now eerily silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Even Lady Jade found it difficult to breathe. She did not expect things to turn out his way.

Lu Zhou rose to his feet and walked to the edge of the pagoda with his hands on his back. He looked at Yunsan, who was suspended in midair, and said, Do you think I wont know just because you dont say it?

After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he raised a hand and condensed energy on his palm

At this moment, Hua Yuexings bow began to shake.

Bzzt!

Old senior! Hua Yuexing was shocked.

Bam!

A green figure flashed before Hua Yuexing. Mingshi Yins sudden palm strike landed on her.

Hua Yuexing grunted and reeled back as her bow flew toward Lu Zhou.
