At this moment, in the royal palace of Sunset Royal City.
Inside the main hall.
Emperor Huang Yitong, seated on his dragon throne, frowned upon hearing the report from below and asked, "You said the Shadow Kill Pavilion was completely wiped out? What about the Shadow Kill Pavilion?"
The eunuch below replied, " The Shadow Kill Pavilion has disappeared without a trace."
Huang Yitong frowned even more deeply.
Given the Shadow Kill Pavilion's strength, if he were to die so mysteriously, Huang Yitong would certainly not believe it.
However, Shadow Kill are now a subordinate force of the Sunset Dynasty.
If Shadow Kill Pavilion were truly destroyed by someone else, the Shadow Kill Pavilion would definitely come seeking help!
This forced Huang Yitong to think the worst.
Who exactly is it?
Do they have the strength to destroy the Shadow Kill Pavilion?
He had seen the formation in the Shadow Kill Pavilion before, and even he couldn't break it in a short time without the help of external tools!
If the other side had taken too long, the Shadow Kill Pavilion would have already found a way to notify him for backup.
But the lack of notification means that the enemy broke through the formation in a short time!
Anyone capable of reaching that level of skill is definitely stronger than him!
There are only four people who are stronger than him, openly speaking.
Those four were all from the Central Region, and were also among the top four in the Four Regions Martial Ranking!
Only those four people could have done that.
However, what Huang Yitong couldn't understand was that Shadow Kill should have never had any contact with people from the Central Region.
Not to mention offending the forces in the Central Region!
Who exactly is it?
Huang Yitong couldn't understand it, so he ordered his men, "Take men and seal off the Shadow Kill Pavilion. If anyone comes, report to me immediately."
Upon receiving the order, the subordinates immediately dispatched men to the Shadow Kill Pavilion.
At this moment, Huang Yitong felt as if dark clouds were rising over his heart.
The destruction of the Shadow Kill Pavilion gave him a bad feeling.
The greater one's strength and the deeper one's realm, the more sensitive one becomes to danger.
Southern Region.
Lu Changsheng has returned to the Cottage.
Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying immediately came to greet them.
"Where did Master go?"
Lu Changsheng plopped down on the bamboo chair and said, "Nothing much, just went to take care of that Shadow Kill."
Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying were both taken aback.
"I just couldn't resist, you know?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head helplessly, "Otherwise, why would your master run out? Wouldn't it be better to lie here, bask in the sun, and take a nap?"
"Oh, right, you two, hurry up and go cook dinner."
I went for a run and burned a lot of energy, now I'm hungry.
Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying exchanged a helpless glance before entering the kitchen.
Despite having such a high level of cultivation, he still thinks about eating every day.
However, ever since I arrived at the Cottage...
If they weren't cultivating, Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying would eat with Lu Changsheng.
Three meals a day, not a single one is missed.
Now, the two of them are used to it.
Even Yun Ming would shamelessly come over for a free meal.
The main reason is that the ingredients used in these dishes are all of extremely pure Spiritual Qi.
With every bite I took, I felt my cultivation level increase a little!
Sure enough, the food was served, and Yun Ming shamelessly came over again.
Lu Changsheng picked up his rice bowl and glanced at Yun Ming with disdain.
This kid always eats a lot, sometimes leaving me not satisfied with my meal.
However, as a master, one should naturally be more magnanimous in front of one's disciples.
We can't appear too stingy.
We need to have a broader perspective, you know?
During the meal, Hong Ying casually remarked, "Master, the elders of the Pill Hall said they want you to come over when you return."
Lu Changsheng asked in surprise, "Why? I'm not that familiar with this old man, why does he suddenly want me to come over today?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai recounted the entire story.
Listen, listen.
Lu Changsheng's face turned pale.
After listening, Lu Changsheng put his rice bowl on the table, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "Which of you put the blame on me?"
Ye Qiubai was still hesitating whether or not to reveal the Hong Ying.
Or should I, as the senior brother, take the blame for my junior sister?
Just as Ye Qiubai was preparing to take the blame for this huge mistake.
Hong Ying spoke up.
"It was my senior who said it."
Without hesitation!
Without any hesitation or delay!
Her face didn't even turn red!
That sounds so true!
Ye Qiubai was dumbfounded.
I treated you like a junior sister, but you treated me like a scapegoat?
Before Ye Qiubai could explain, Lu Changsheng's murderous gaze fell upon Ye Qiubai.
"I helped you fight tooth and nail for your sake, killing enemies and avenging them, and you turn around and betrayed me?"
Besides, I didn't refine those pills!
"I..."
Ye Qiubai glanced at Lu Changsheng, who looked like he was about to strangle him, and then looked at Hong Ying.
Hong Ying's lips moved, but no sound came out.
Ye Qiubai, however, was able to understand what she was saying.
The general meaning is...
Take care, senior brother...
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai could only say with a bitter face, "Master... I was wrong..."
Then, Lu Changsheng's roar echoed from the Cottage.
" Ye Qiubai, you're in charge of all the work at the Cottage this month! Now go down and sweep the mountain!"
After the meal, Lu Changsheng reluctantly went to the Pill Hall.
Throughout the journey, the disciples were always surprised when they saw him.
His face looks a bit dark?
However, after these past few days, the reputation of the Cottage has gradually spread throughout the academy.
When they encountered Lu Changsheng, they would respectfully say, "Greetings, Senior."
Since the people from Cottage were not granted the position of elder or any other post in the Hidden Dao Academy, they could only be referred to as seniors.
However, Lu Changsheng now holds an extremely high position within the academy.
It is capable of nurturing Sword Dao genius like Ye Qiubai.
Not only did he comprehend the Sword Intent, but he also defeated the number one Sword Dao of the younger generation in the Northern Region!
Help the Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy turn the tide and seize first place!
There are also Hong Ying.
She is not only like Heavenly Immortal.
Their strength is truly astonishing!
He has already broken through to the Qianyuan Realm at such a young age, and his strength is even higher than that of the elders and the dean!
Hong Ying is capable of suppressing the seventh-ranked person on the Four Regions Martial Ranking!
Qin Tiannan, ranked 26th, was naturally no match for Hong Ying.
It is estimated that the rankings of the Four Regions Martial Ranking will change in the next couple of days.
With two such prodigies nurtured in succession, how could Lu Changsheng not be highly regarded?
Some even say that becoming a disciple of the Cottage signifies soaring to great heights!
This news also reached other parts of the Southern Region.
This has led to countless people urging their juniors to cultivate, hoping that he can become a disciple of the Cottage!
Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng was heading to the Pill Hall.
A man dressed as a scholar, carrying a book basket, arrived at the outer gate of the Hidden Dao Academy.
At the mountain gate, two outer disciples were on duty.
Who are you? What brings you to the academy?
The scholar politely said, "I've come to see my master."
"Master?"
The two men were taken aback, assuming the scholar wanted to become an apprentice of one of the elders at the Hidden Dao Academy, and said, "Excuse me, it's not enrollment time yet, please leave."
The scholar shook his head and said, "I'm not here to participate in the recruitment. My master is here, I think it's called Cottage?"
