Chapter 1208: A Gathering of Mighty Figures
Three days later.
Lu Zhou did not continue cultivating.
The weather in the red lotus domain had gotten worse. There was only a brief period during the day where the weather was relatively calm. Most of the time, it was really bad. It was rather similar to the Unknown Land.
The birds and beasts in the sky had migrated.
The commoners and weak cultivators had shut themselves in.
The imbalance made Lu Zhou worry about Lu Wu and Duanmu Sheng. Hence, he recited the mantra for the power of sight.
The power of sight was clearly much better than before.
Soon enough, the Unknown Land appeared in his eyes.
Duanmu Sheng kept practicing with his spears in the harsh environment as the purple dragons around his arms kept appearing and disappearing. He had mastered the Divine One Technique to the highest level, and it was at the pinnacle of perfection.
Boom!
Lu Wu descended from the sky. It opened its mouth, and a fist-sized life heart landed in front of Duanmu Sheng.
“Continue,” Lu Wu said.
“Lu Wu… I admit that your ability to kill Birth Chart Beasts is amazing. However, don’t you think these are too many? I only have nine leaves.”
“Only… nine leaves?” Lu Wu said, “You’re no longer… as simple… as a Nine-leaf cultivator. My essence has… greatly increased your strength… You can directly sprout the tenth or even eleventh leaf by absorbing these life hearts…”
“So it has nothing to do with the Great Void Seed and the corrosive energy?” Duanmu Sheng asked.
“Those two are… important. However, without my essence… you’d be… dead,” Lu Wu said.
“How do you know about sprouting the eleventh leaf?” Duanmu Sheng asked.
“Your Seventh Junior Brother… spoke to… me about… it before we left…” Lu Wu replied.
“Alright.”
Duanmu Sheng grabbed the life heart and manifested his avatar to absorb the life heart.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned to survey his surroundings.
The dark clouds billowed in the sky as fierce beasts flew through them. It was like a flock of birds migrating when the season changed.
Lu Zhou frowned.
The environment in the Unknown Land was much worse than the red lotus domain. It was dark all the time; even the fog was black. Flying beasts and fierce beasts were changing everywhere. It was a spectacular but terrifying sight.
The mountain range where Duanmu Sheng was at was surrounded by fierce beasts that were passing by.
Some of the fierce beasts that did not know what was good for them were brave enough to charge into the area where Lu Wu was.
Lu Wu raised its head and roared, shocking all the beasts in the area.
The weak fierce beasts fled immediately.
“Move.” Lu Wu turned around.
“Okay.”
This was not the first time they had to move.
Duanmu Sheng cooperated very well. He stopped absorbing the life heart and put away his avatar before he leaped onto Lu Wu’s back.
Lu Wu rushed into the black clouds and bit the huge flying beast that blocked its path.
Crack!
Lu Wu spat the carcass down toward the mountain. Its huge body knocked away many fierce beasts, causing them to drop from the sky one after another.
“Is someone approaching?” Duanmu Sheng asked.
Lu Wu shook his head and looked to the north. He said, “A beast emperor… has appeared.”
The duo flew to the side slightly.
Duanmu Sheng’s vision was excellent as he looked into the distant sky.
When Lu Wu dove, Lu Zhou saw the distant northern horizon. Amidst the black fog, a red orb shone brightly as it shot out like a shooting star, dragging a long and narrow tail of light in its wake.
At this moment, Lu Zhou cut off the power of sight.
After upgrading to the divine power, the consumption was not a lot when using the Heavenly Writing Power.
The chaotic Unknown Land was filled with opportunities and treasures. The green lotus cultivators definitely would not let go of such a good opportunity. It was likely that the four Venerable Masters of the green lotus domain would be there as well. To powerful cultivators, the Unknown Land hid treasures untold.
Then, Lu Zhou recalled the long and narrow red light. “Is that the new beast emperor?”
He did not hesitate anymore and called out, “Is there anyone?”
Soon after, a cultivator appeared. “Senior, what are your orders?”
“Summon Si Wuya here.”
“Understood.”
…
Si Wuya rushed over to the Preservation Hall as soon as he received his master’s order. After he entered the hall, he bowed respectfully. “Greetings, master.”
Lu Zhou said without beating around the bush, “Since the imbalance has happened, the Unknown Land is filled with opportunities and treasure. I’ll personally go there…”
Si Wuya was not surprised. He said, “Sun Mu and the other four had the same idea. I didn’t think it was good for me to stop them.”
Lu Zhou said, “Those who leave the Evil Sky Pavilion are considered traitors.”
“I’ve misspoken.” Si Wuya’s heart jolted slightly and he no longer dared to say anything. He could hear the heavy meaning behind the word ‘traitor’. The Evil Sky Pavilion had zero tolerance for traitors.
Since the five brothers dared to leave the Evil Sky Pavilion after joining, it showed that they did not think much of the Evil Sky Pavilion at all. It could not even compare to mere life hearts. It was not an exaggeration to say they betrayed the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Finally, Si Wuya said, “I have an idea.”
“Speak.”
After listening to Si Wuya’s detailed idea, Lu Zhou thought it made sense. He said, “The Unknown Land is very dangerous. Although the flying chariot can bring many people, it’s burdensome. It’s safer to fly. Also, you should stay in the red lotus domain. It isn’t safe for those below the Thousand Realms Whirling stage to go there.”
The overall strength of the monster hunting squad was no less than 3 Birth Charts. The one leading them had 15 Birth Charts.
Although Lu Zhou was powerful, he could not bring so many people with him.
Si Wuya’s idea was good. He wanted to rely on his master’s cultivation base and bring as many people as they could to the Unknown Land.
“Yes, master.”
After discussing it, Lu Zhou decided to bring Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Mingshi Yin, Little Yuan’er, Conch, Yan Zhenluo, and Lu Li to the Unknown Land. Conch’s role was to play the translator, and she wanted Little Yuan’er to accompany her.
…
The next morning.
In the Hall of Runes.
At this time, a violent wind was sweeping through the capital.
Everyone had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Zhu Honggong said sulkily, “It doesn’t make sense. Why is master bringing Ninth Junior Sister and Little Junior Sister instead of bringing me?”
“Is it useful to bring you along?” Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes.
“Of course! I have a lot of uses! Compared to the two junior sisters, I’m…” Zhu Honggong paused when he saw Little Yuan’er and Conch walking in. Then, he smoothly continued, “Compared to them, I’m indeed a good-for-nothing. Oh, good morning, Ninth Junior Sister and Little Junior Sister!”
Everyone. “…”
Little Yuan’er jumped in front of Zhu Honggong, “Eighth Senior Brother… What did you say earlier? I didn’t hear clearly.”
“No, it’s nothing. I was just saying that Ninth Junior Sister is growing more and more beautiful…”
“Thank you, Eighth Senior Brother!”
Zhu Honggong sighed in relief inwardly.
At this moment, Lu Zhou walked in with his hands resting on his back as Whitzard trailed behind him.
Everyone bowed.
“Master.”
“Pavilion Master.”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He said, “After I leave, if you encounter any danger, the priority is to protect yourself and wait for my return.”
“Yes, Pavilion Master.”
Everyone bowed.
Thud!
Zhu Honggong fell to his knees and said, “Greetings, master!”
“…”
‘Is there a need to kneel?’
Lu Zhou waved at Si Wuya.
After Si Wuya walked over, Lu Zhou said in a low voice, “When I’m not around, you’ll make the decisions.”
This was an important task. Si Wuya did not dare to be negligent. “Master, rest assured. The Evil Sky Pavilion won’t lose a single person.”
Lu Zhou nodded and turned around to enter the runic passage.
Yu Shangrong only smiled faintly without saying anything before he followed his master into the runic passage.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at Zhu Honggong and said, “You’re a man. How can you act so shy and coy? Don’t be dispirited! It’s not like we’re going through some life-or-death situation…”
“Eldest Senior Brother is right. I was wrong!” Zhu Honggong waved at Yu Zhenghai and bid him farewell.
One after another, the others entered the runic passage.
With a flash of light, all of them vanished from sight.
