Chapter 1559 You Can’t Escape
Everyone gathered and looked at the words with strange expressions on their faces.
Meng Changdong, the Guardian of the Evil Sky Pavilion, looked at the words for a moment before he asked suspiciously, “Does the Great Void know we’d use the runic passage here?”
“That can’t be it,” Mingshi Yin said, “If it were the Great Void, there’s no need for them to be so mysterious. They would’ve directly sent people here to capture us.”
“Perhaps, they left similar messages in many places to intimidate us?” Meng Changdong said.
Yan Zhenluo said, “Guardian Meng has a point. No matter what, we should return to the Evil Sky Pavilion first.”
Everyone nodded before they hurried into the runic passage.
15 minutes later.
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilionappeared in the runic passage outside of the northern pavilion.
Due to the imbalance, Golden Court Mountain was no longer as lush as it used to be. It looked a little desolate.
Since it had been uninhabited for a long time, the pavilions were overgrown with weeds.
As soon as they stepped out of the runic passage, another burst of light appeared.
Zhao Hongfu brought the Magistrate Brush again and drew a few strokes on the glowing runes. Similar to before, another sentence appeared: You can’t escape.
“Heh! What a dirty trick! Which bast*rd is trying to intimidate us? Show yourself!” Mingshi Yin said loudly.
As expected, there was no response.
“This means that someone has been here. We must be careful.”
Everyone nodded.
The Left and Right Envoys, the Guardians, and the others flew toward the northeastern, southwestern, and northern pavilions and circled them before they returned.
“There’s no one!”
“I didn’t find anyone!”
It was empty in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
“Whether this is a trick from the Great Void or not, the most important thing now is to separate as soon as possible,” Yan Zhenluo said.
Zhu Honggong asked, “Do we really have to
separate?”
Zhu Honggong’s expression froze before he burst into tears. He wailed, “I can’t bear to part with all of you!”

“Get lost!”
“Go away! Don’t stick so close to me! Your face is covered with snot! Disgusting!”
“???”
Zhu Honggong stopped crying and asked, “Aren’t you sad at all?”.
‘No one cares at all! No one loves me!’
Finally, Zhu Honggong said, “Why don’t I go to the yellow lotus domain?”
The overall strength of the yellow lotus domain was quite low. Even if they followed the golden lotus domain’s method of severing the lotus, the cultivation would still take a long time. With this, any one of them who went there would naturally have an easy time there.
“You just want to be a local tyrant there. I’ll go to the yellow domain instead,” Mingshi Yin said.
‘Is there anyone who doesn’t want to go to a good place?’
“Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother would definitely be willing to stay in the twin lotus domains.”
The twin lotus domains had the highest number of experts among the nine domains so it would not be boring for the duo to stay there.
Ye Tianxin said, “I’ll return to the White Tower Council.”
The White Tower Council was located in the white lotus domain and could be considered Ye Tianxin’s territory.
“I’m afraid that won’t do. The White Tower Council belongs to the Great Void’s Lan Xihe. Going there is like entering the tiger’s den.”
For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma. They did not know how to select who goes where.
There were good and bad places. Everyone naturally wanted to go to the good places, and no one wanted to go to the bad places.
Since Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, the two eldest disciples, were not around. No one could control the situation.
“According to the rules of the Evil Sky Pavilion, if the Pavilion Master’s not around, then the Left and Right Envoys can make the decisions as well…”
With this, everyone turned to look at Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li. The duo might look young and not as old as the four elders, but their experience was superior to the four elders.
Yan Zhenluo smiled and said, “Draw lots.”
“Draw lots?”
This was the fairest way, and no one would be able to complain about unfairness.
“I agree,” Duanmu Sheng said.
“What about the others?” Yan Zhenluo asked.
Before Lu Zhou’s disciples could respond, Qin Naihe suddenly raised his head and looked at the western horizon before he said, “Let’s not talk about it now. Someone’s approaching.”
“No way! You can sense them?”
Over the years, Qin Naihe’s cultivation had improved greatly as well. Although he was not as fast as Lu Zhou’s disciples, his improvement was still significant. He flew up in the sky. After a moment, he said, “It’s someone from the Qin clan.”
As expected, a figure flew over and appeared above the Evil Sky Pavilion.
“Venerable Master Qin?” Qin Naihe was slightly surprised. When he recovered, he bowed slightly. The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion looked up. It was indeed Qin Renyue.
Qin Renyue looked at everyone with a hint of anxiety on his face as he said, “Yu Shangrong asked me to come over and receive everyone.”
“Second Senior Brother?”
“He should be training in the Unknown Land and won’t be back for a while. I already heard about the Evil Sky Pavilion’s situation. Since Brother Lu is my friend, I can’t just do nothing,” Qin Renyue said before tossing a piece of paper out.
The paper fell in front of everyone, and they saw a sentence on it: You can’t escape.
“So you’re the one behind this?!” Zhu Honggong said as he pointed at Qin Renyue.
“You’ve misunderstood. I received this note about a month ago. It was pasted on the runic passage leading to the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Qin Renyue said.
Zhu Honggong cursed, “Which bast*rd is behind this? If you have the guts, show yourself!”
“Stop cursing. Hurry up and leave!” Qin Renyue said.
“It’s still problematic if all of us go to the green lotus domain. We’ll be discovered by the Great Void. We have to split up,” Qin Naihe said.
“Split up?” Qin Renyue was confused.
Qin Naihe said truthfully, “The Evil Sky Pavilion is no longer the same as before. Almost all of the Pavilion Master’s disciples are Saints now.”
Qin Renyue: “???”
Qin Renyue’s eyes widened in shock as an incredulous expression appeared on his face. However, when he calmed down, he thought it was only natural. After all, all of them had the Great Void Seeds. Let alone Saints, they would all become supreme beings in the future.
Seeing that they were wasting time, Mingshi Yin said, “Let me decide. Third Senior Brother, you go to the purple lotus domain. Great Saint Duamu was highly respected in the purple lotus domain’s Great Shang, after all. I’ll go with Venerable Master Qin and stay in the green lotus domain. Fifth Junior Sister will stay in Great Yan, and Sixth Junior Sister will go to the white lotus domain. Although the White Tower Council was used by the Great Void to maintain the balance, that’s all in the past. As for Seventh Junior Brother…”
Mingshi Yin paused briefly at this point before he continued to say, “Eighth Junior Brother, you’ll go to the yellow lotus domain. Ninth Junior Sister, please go to the black lotus domain, and Little Junior Sister will go to the red lotus domain. I’ll tell Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother to go to the twin lotus domain.”
Everyone nodded.
Qin Renyue said, “The rest will stay in the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
In fact, the Great Void did not care about the others at all. They only cared about the Great Void Seeds.
The Great Void was unaware that all the ten Great Void Seeds were in the Evil Sky Pavilion, after all.
“Follow the plan, and set off separately,” Mingshi Yin said.
Duanmu Sheng looked at Little Yuan’er and asked, “Ninth Junior Sister, are you afraid?”
Little Yuan’er replied with a smile, “I’m not afraid.”
“You’re all grown up. Since master, your senior brothers, and your senior sisters aren’t by your side, you have to take care of yourself,” Duanmu Sheng said.
The four elders looked at Little Yuan’er as well. They watched her grow up little by little. From an innocent little girl to an adult, they watched her. After so many years, things had changed. All of them treated her like their child.
“Girl, why don’t we go with you?” Pan Litian asked.
Duanmu Sheng nodded. “That’s a good idea.”
Little Yuan’er was definitely strong enough to survive on her own, but with her ways of doing things, she still needed the help of the elders. Hence, she said, “Alright!”
Now that everyone was about to part, they were besieged by a sense of loneliness and nervousness. After all, they had been together for so long.
At this moment, Lu Li said, “Since we have nothing to do in the Evil Sky Pavilion, why don’t we split up as well, following the Pavilion Master’s disciples?”
“Good idea!”
The others readily agreed and quickly decided which disciple to follow.
After 15 minutes, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion saluted each other.
“Take care!”
“Take care.”
With that, they entered different runic passages that would lead them to their respective destinations.
