My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 361: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Wolf in the Sky

Lu Zhou studied the mount. Where had he seen it before? Its aura felt very familiar.

Although Hua Yuexing was slightly ashamed of her skills, she was not discouraged when she saw Shan Yunzheng making such a huge effort to attack the mount. She pulled on her energy bow again and launched a fresh volley of arrows at the mount. When she first joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, Lu Zhou had trained her in the Quick Condensation method. Hence, she was exceptionally quick in firing her arrows. She was so fast that it made the hairs of the others stand on end. Perhaps, it was due to Shan Yunzheng's presence and Shan Yunzheng banishing her from the sect, her competitive streak came out at this moment.

Han Yuexing's eyes gleamed determinedly as she fired in succession. 'Although I can't compare to you in might and precision, or even the locking of aura, I'm sure that there's something that I'm better at than you.'

Energy arrows were clenched between her fingers. She pulled back on the bowstring… 

Twang! Twang! Twang!

Her shots flew toward the mount in the skies. An archer's advantage was not only in long-range attacks. The precision of an archer could add to their deadliness as well. They were not like the ballistae on castle walls or the ordinary bows used by soldiers. Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivators could form energy bow and arrows. The bursts of energy arrows fired by an energy bow were much more powerful than pure energy blades. Arrows had a wider reach and a quicker speed.

Hua Yuexing could fire three energy arrows at once. She clenched them between her fingers and let loose. Three consecutive shots were the limit for her Two-leaf stage. In other words, she could fire nine energy arrows. However, having cultivated the Quick Condensation method, she could fire four to five consecutive shots in one breath within an extremely short span of time. Originally, this speed could only be achieved by Godly Archers at the Five-leaf stage and beyond.

Initially, Shan Yunzheng did not notice it. When she realized there seemed to be a display of fireworks beside her, she glanced in its direction. She felt shocked at the sight. 'How can this young girl be this quick?'

The continuous shots were not completely useless. The mount was starting to wail in pain after taking multiple hits from the arrows on its thick hide. Its cries resounded throughout Golden Court Mountain.

Lu Zhou looked at the poisonous gas in the sky. He said, "Elder Hua, Six Compatible Seal."

Hua Wudao nodded and took a step forward… When his foot touched the ground, an Eight Trigrams appeared under his feet. Six scripts emerged from his body. Then, the remaining three scripts materialized out of thin air. The nine great scripts; heaven, earth, life, death, water, fire, being, non-being, and separation spread out.

With Hua Wudao at the center, the Six Compatible Seal expanded outward. It immediately formed a thin screen that grew in size. This move was not used for defense. Instead, it was meant to scatter the poisonous gas.

Like an ever-expanding bubble, the poisonous purple gas was pushed by the Six Compatible Seal toward the horizons.

Roar!

The mount wailed in anger when it saw the poisonous gas being pushed away. Its frenzied state seemed to intensify. It did three laps in the air as it roared fiercely and blew out another wave of poisonous gas downward.

"Master, send Bi An out to deal with it!" Little Yuan'er who was nearby pointed at the mount with one hand while the other hand rested on her hip. It had to be said that her suggestion was a good one. Bi An should not have a problem dealing with that beast.

Lu Zhou was just about to summon Bi An when Shan Yunzheng shouted and leaped into the air. She hovered a few meters in the air with a sharp look in her eyes. "Livestock!" She conjured up an arrow. The bow in her hand was as thick as a city wall ballista. The tip of the energy arrow seemed to be glowing red with heat.

The others were also shocked when they saw this energy arrow.

This showed that her Six-leaf cultivation base was genuine since she could conjure up an energy arrow like that.

Shan Yunzheng loosened her fingers.

Boom!

The energy arrow sailed in the air…

Perhaps, the beast sensed the threat. It immediately stopped spewing the poisonous gas and turned around to flee. If the beast got far enough, no cultivator would be able to catch up to it.

Fortunately, the energy arrow was already upon it.

Bam!

The shot landed true on the mount.

Roar!

The mount felt a jolt of pain and began to howl. Its energy scattered.

"Just how shocking is this mount's defensive power?" Hua Wudao exclaimed in wonder.

Shan Yunzheng had practically placed all her power behind that energy arrow. Yet, all she managed to do was scratch the mount, not kill it.

Shan Yunzheng was at her wit's end. She knew that she had to kill the mount to prove that the Luo Sect did not set this up. She descended and cupped her fists at Lu Zhou and said, "Please lend me the weapon, Pavilion Master!" She was tactful and used the word 'lend'. Clearly, she wanted to borrow the Falling Moon Bow.

With the Falling Moon Bow, her range would be extended, and the might of her attacks would intensify. The speed of her arrows would become more terrifyingly fast as well.

Alas, Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Someone's controlling this mount."

The mount was circling above them in the sky. Since it had experienced that powerful attack. It seemed to realize the attack was not able to kill it. Therefore, it began spewing poisonous gas again from the distance.

The wind carried the poisonous gas toward the Evil Sky Pavilion again.

"No wonder it's so cunning. As it turns out, someone's controlling it!" Pan Zhong exclaimed in surprise.

Shan Yunzheng frowned and said, "Elder Lu, how's that possible?"

"This mount's name is Ba Wu. It's the mount of the senior brother of the Lou Lan elite, Mo Li. I fought against it once on the Lotus Dais."

Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Little Yuan'er had some recollections of the deep growl they heard on the Lotus Dais. They were shocked by their master's revelation.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the mount, Ba Wu, in the skies. This mount was capable of withstanding a blast from the Blue Lotus's energy. Indeed, its defensive powers were shocking. It might not be the best idea to summon Bi An. With someone controlling it, Ba Wu was just like a human. It might even cast spells.

"Pavilion Master, please lend me the weapon," Shan Yunzheng said urgently.

Lu Zhou tossed the weapon over and said, "The Luo Sect should take care of its own mess." In truth, he wanted to see just how powerful Ba Wu's defenses were. He wanted to determine just how much of the Heavenly Writing power he would need to use to kill it. If that was not feasible, he would consider using the Deadly Strike Card.

Shan Yunzheng was clearly more confident now that the Falling Moon Bow was in her hand. She shot into the air again, holding the Falling Moon Bow in her left hand. Layers of energy wrapped around the Falling Moon Bow. It seemed to be covered in a layer of golden light. With the golden light, the dainty Falling Moon Bow seemed to have increased in size. The energy bow that was superimposed on the physical bow was as tall as Shan Yunzheng.

Shortly after, the Falling Moon Bow buzzed.

Shan Yunzheng pulled on the bowstring with the fingers of her right hand. A more powerful energy arrow materialized. This was a Six-leaf Godly Archer.

Everyone's attention was on her arrow.

Hua Yuexing was fixated on it as well. She gave up on firing her shots. No matter how great she performed, she could not compare to Shan Yunzheng with the Falling Moon Bow.

The atmosphere was tense.

Shan Yunzheng held her breath and focused. Her sharp eyes were locked on the circling Ba Wu. Her energy arrow was completely formed.

Bam!

She loosened her fingers.

The Falling Moon Bow gave a distinct twang.

As the bow sang, the energy arrow shot toward its target.

Ba Wu sensed a threat just like it had moments ago. It suddenly stopped and made a unique move. It curled up on itself like a porcupine. Its hairs stood on end.

Bam!

Energy scattered everywhere.

The energy arrow hit Ba Wu.

A wail resounded across the skies.

The purple energy was visibly scattering from Ba Wu's body.

"It's hurt," Pan Zhong said.

"Unfortunately, it's not dead. It intends on running away!"

Ba Wu was frightened now. It did not expect a powerful Godly Archer to be present on Golden Court Mountain. Its master seemed to have changed his original plan. It turned tail and ran away at top speed.

Shan Yunzheng was dissatisfied with her shot. In her opinion, even if that shot did not kill Ba Wu, it should have dealt a heavy damage to it. She pulled on her bow again, firing another energy arrow.

Bam!

Ba Wu was too far away. When the arrow landed on its target again, it clearly packed less of a punch than the previous hit.

"Livestock!" Shan Yunzheng was feeling pressured. The more flustered she was, the more difficult it was for her to unleash her strength. Her aura and utilization of Primal Qi became chaotic and lost their rhythm.

"This is bad. It's getting away."

Ba Wu was hurt. It was sprinting away wildly on purple clouds.

Shan Yunzheng shook her head helplessly. However, she felt slightly relieved as well. So long as the livestock stopped releasing poison and caused a commotion in the Evil Sky Pavilion, she still had a chance to salvage the situation. She looked at Ba Wu's retreating back and said, "This mount is extraordinary. Please take that into consideration, Pavilion Master."

"Since when did the Luo Sect collude with the people of Lou Lan?" Lu Zhou raised his hand slightly. With a surge of energy, the Falling Moon Bow broke free of Shan Yunzheng's grasp and returned to Lu Zhou's hand.

Shan Yunzheng was, naturally, reluctant to part with it…

At the same time, Lu Zhou flew into the air. His movements were not quick. In fact, they could be considered as insignificant.

"What's the pavilion master trying to do?"

The others were looking at Lu Zhou with anticipation.

Lu Zhou wielded the Falling Moon Bow with his left hand. He looked in the northwestern direction…

The Falling Moon Bow shook.
