Chapter 1269 - Chaotic War
Chapter 1269: Chaotic War
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion regained their senses when they saw the two flying chariots.
The huge flying chariot on the left was long and narrow. It was flanked by many cultivators. Their robes were neat and tidy, indicating their journey here was very smooth.
The flying chariot on the right was slightly smaller, and there were not as many cultivators flanking it compared to the other flying chariot.
When they arrived near the Pillar of Destruction, they had sensed a commotion and rushed over immediately. They did not expect to see such a good show as soon as they arrived.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou hovered in the air calmly, wondering which Venerable Master had arrived.
Before Lu Zhou could figure it out, Zhao Yu exclaimed, “Venerable Master Tuoba and Venerable Master Fan!”
Zhao Yu felt his heart hurt. He had done a lot of research before he chose the most unlikely place for Venerable Masters to appear. Currently, not only one, but two Venerable Masters had appeared. His research was just a joke at this moment.
The other end of the Red Line, which was near the green lotus domain, was a place where Venerable Masters frequented. He did not expect to see two of them here.
One of the reasons the green lotus domain was so powerful was due to them taking all the resources near the Pillar of Destruction.
Zhao Yu had overlooked a problem. He had forgotten to consider the imbalance. With the imbalance, Venerable Masters were no longer restricted by the Red Line. Moreover, the Equalizer had yet to appear. It was only obvious the Venerable Masters would choose to come to a place that they had never been before. After all, when the black and white lotus cultivators came to this place, they did not manage to take many resources away due to how dangerous it was for them. As time passed, the resources here had accumulated. How could the Venerable Masters not come here now that there were no restrictions?
At this time…
“Venerable Master Fan, long time no see.” A voice rang from the black flying chariot.
“Venerable Master Tuoba, since you invited me here, how could I not come? Where’s Venerable Master Ye?”
“He’ll arrive in a moment…”
“Who are these people?” Fan Zhong asked.
The smaller flying chariot turned around slightly, making a creaking noise like the sound of a wooden door that had fallen to disrepair.
Before anyone could say anything, Lu Zhou said, “Tuoba Sicheng?”
Tuoba Sicheng smiled. “You remember me?”
“I see. So you’re the one who saved Ye Zheng previously…” Lu Zhou said without beating around the bush. It was clear Tuoba Sicheng came with ill intentions. The scent was similar to the scent from before.
Tuoba Sicheng said, “I don’t understand what you mean.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “If you help Ye Zheng, then you’re against me.”
An enhanced Reduction Card and an advanced enhanced Deadly Strike Card had already appeared in his hand. If any one of them made a move, they would surely die. He could deal with one Venerable Master while Lu Wu dealt with the other; it was not a big problem.
“No, no, no, you misunderstand me. I only saved Ye Zheng to return a favor,” Tuoba Sicheng said, no longer denying Lu Zhou’s words.
Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes. “Is there a difference?”
Lu Wu stepped forward. “It’s been a long time since I fought with a Venerable Master…”
“Lu Wu.”
Tuoba Sicheng and Fan Zhong sensed Lu Wu’s beast emperor’s aura immediately.
Duanmu Sheng patted Lu Wu’s back and asked, “Are you sure you can do it?”
Lu Wu wore a dissatisfied expression on its face and asked, “Young Master, are you looking down on me?”
Duanmu Sheng, who did not want Lu Wu to be too arrogant, said, “I only remember that you couldn’t even defeat Tower Master Lan…”
Lu Wu said dismissively, “I did that on purpose. Moreover, I was injured before…”
Applause rang out from the black flying chariot.
“Beast Emperor Lu Wu is indeed strong. Back when Venerable Master Duanmu was still around, everyone knew of your name. Unfortunately, things are different now…”
“Hm?”
“You’ll see…” Tuoba Sicheng was clearly not worried at all.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou looked at the Pillar of Destruction. An ordinary Deadly Strike Card should have reaped one of Tian Wu’s lives, but he had yet to receive a notification. It did not make sense.
As expected, stone fragments rolled down the pillar at this moment.
“Ding! Killed one target. Reward: 5,000 merit points.”
Tian Wu was definitely not any weaker than Lu Wu. An ordinary Deadly Strike Card definitely would not kill it for good, but it was good enough to serve as a deterrent.
Black fog rolled out at this moment.
The two Venerable Masters, Tuoba Sicheng and Fan Zhong, turned around after sensing the movement.
Tian Wu with its eight faces was shrouded in black fog as it dislodged itself from the crack in the stone. Its voice sounded like it came from hell as it said, “It’s been a long time since it was this lively…”
“Tian Wu?” Tuoba Sicheng and Fan Zhong were only slightly surprised.
Everyone watched as seven shadows flashed before merging into one. Following that, the lake water rose and shot toward the black fog.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The black fog churned as the sound of water splashing rang from within the fog.
No one knew what was happening inside.
Soon after, eight shadows appeared in the fog.
Lu Zhou frowned. This meant that Tian Wu had regained the life it just lost. An idea formed in his mind; he wondered if he could farm merit points without limit using Tian Wu.
Tian Wu cackled at this moment. “Do you think you’re powerful and can’t do as you please just because the Equalizer hasn’t shown up?”
Tuoba Sicheng looked at Tian Wu and said, “Tian Wu, you’ve been fighting with Lord Zhennan until now. Both sides are injured as a result. If it were 30,000 years ago, we naturally wouldn’t dare to approach the Pillar of Destruction, but now…”
The implication was clear: Tian Wu’s strength was not at its peak.
It was not surprising. Tian Wu fought with Lord Zhennan to the point where Lord Zhennan had to borrow a tree to survive. How could Tian Wu escape unscathed?
Tian Wu cackled again.
Tuoba Sicheng waved his hand.
Dozens of cultivators flew toward the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Fan Zhong did not move. Instead, he said, “I’m waiting for Ye Zheng to arrive.”
Lu Zhou’s expression remained the same. Fan Zhong’s words indicated that Fan Zhong had yet to come to a complete agreement with Tuoba Sicheng whereas Tuo Sicheng and Ye Zheng must be allies now.
This meant there were four sides now: the Evil Sky Pavilion, Tuoba Sicheng, Fan Zhong, and Tian Wu.
Lu Zhou turned slightly and called out, “Lu Wu.”
Lu Wu lowered its body.
Lu Zhou solemnly said, “I hope you can ensure their safety.”
Lu Wu’s gaze swept across the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion before it said in a low voice, “Alright.”
Although it was just a word, it was brimming with confidence and vigor.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong hovered in the air on opposing sides; their nerves were tense. A war was about to break out.
The four parties looked at each other
Tian Wu stopped cackling at this moment. Soon after, a head poked out from the black fog. Its face was pale, and its eyes were terrifying as it looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Let’s start with you…”
Lu Zhou remained expressionless. “Are you sure?”
Tuoba Sicheng spread his hands and said in a self-righteous tone, “I agree with Tian Wu.”
Tian Wu said, “Since you hurt me, I’ll take your life first.”
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
Unexpectedly, Qiong Qi began to bark at this moment.
Everyone looked over immediately. They only saw Mingshi Yin who was glowing with a faint blue light.
Mingshi Yin was thoroughly annoyed. He wanted to hide the aura, but Tian Wu’s method was too powerful. His fellow disciples were all fine, only he alone was exposed.
“Great Void Seed?” Tuoba Sicheng’s voice trembled slightly.
Realization dawned on Fan Zhong. “Great Void Seed? No wonder you and Ye Zheng insisted on coming here.”
At this time, Tian Wu suddenly rushed out of the black fog as the lake water surged into the sky. It did not pay attention to anyone else and shot toward Mingshi Yin.
“You’re mine!”
Mingshi Yin. “…”
‘Uh… What should I do now?’
At this time, an astrolabe flew out from the flying chariot on the right. Time seemed to stop for a moment.
Bang!
“Who dares to stop me?!”
The cultivators flanking both flying chariots sprang into action and rushed toward Tian Wu.
“Stop him!”
Energy swords, astrolabes, and energy seals sailed chaotically in the air.
Mingshi Yin and his Great Void Seed had broken the precarious balance.
“Scram,” Tian Wu roared before it exploded with unprecedented power that rippled out in all directions.
Boom!
