“Am I not sincere enough?” Liang Yufeng was puzzled.
Yun Tongxiao said, “I’ve always been sincere to master that I would even dig my heart out for him.”
Liang Yufeng looked at Yun Tongxiao strangely and said, “Old Fourth, I’m afraid if you dig your heart out, you’ll find that it’s black.”
“Second Senior Brother, why do you make things difficult for me when we’re both on the same boat?”
The duo sighed and looked down at their fallen subordinates.
“Where did he come from? How is he so strong?” Liang Yufeng said as he rubbed his chest. Even now, the pain still lingered.
“It was not very obvious, but there was a faint blue in his golden energy. I think that should’ve come from his sacred relic. A Great Venerable Master is truly strong,” Yun Tongxiao said. Then, he sighed before continuing, “We’ve been isolated from the outside world for too long. Perhaps, we’ve long been left in the dust.”
“Master has an agreement with the Great Void so he can’t leave. However, the agreement doesn’t stop us from leaving. If this continues, it won’t be good. If we don’t go out, others will come in anyway. Today’s matter is a good example. We can’t wait until we’re invaded. At that time, we’ll only regret it,” Liang Yufeng said.
“Second Senior Brother is right. Moreover, if something happens to…”
Liang Yufeng shushed Yun Tongxiao immediately. His expression was solemn as he looked to the left and right and saw Yan Mu, the Sect Master of Sunset Sect, flying past. After a moment, he said, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Yu Tongxiao nodded.
…
Yan Mu could not catch up to Lu Zhou so he could only turn around dejectedly.
At this moment, Liang Yufeng swooped down and asked, “Who are you?”
Yan Mu replied, “Greetings, Mr. Second. I’m Yan Mu, the Sect Master of Sunset Sect.”
“Are you familiar with that old senior?”
Yan Mu really wanted to puff his chest out and said he knew Lu Zhou. However, when he recalled how Lu Zhou had sent Liang Yufeng and Yun Tongxiao flying with just a move earlier, he worried he would have to bear the brunt of his association with Lu Zhou. Hence, he said expressionlessly, “No, I’m not familiar with him.”
“Then, why were you calling out to him and chasing after him if you aren’t familiar with him? Get lost!” Liang Yufeng said in a deep voice.
Yan Mu: “?”
Seeing that Yan Mu was in a daze, Yun Tongxiao said, “You’re still not leaving?”
Yan Mu wanted to cry but had no tears. He turned around and left.
Liang Yufeng sighed. “I didn’t expect a big shot to appear in the outside world.”
“I’m just afraid there’s more than one,” Yun Tongxiao said.
“...”
It had been a long time since the people of the twin lotus domain had ventured outside. Every force and cultivator in Great Han abided by the Saint’s rules.
Liang Yufeng looked in the direction where Lu Zhou had left and said, “The runic passage is still there…”
“Second Senior Brother, please don’t,” Yun Tongxiao said.
“Well, I’m just saying,” Liang Yufeng replied.
The duo sighed again.
When their subordinates finally gathered themselves and flew into the air, more than 10,000 people rushed toward Autumn Dew Mountain in a sorry state.
…
At the same time.
When Qin Naihe saw the runic passage lit up from afar, he rushed over immediately from a withered tree in the distance. As expected, he saw Lu Zhou and Whitzard standing in the runic passage. He called out, “Pavilion Master!”
Lu Zhou nodded before he asked, “Has there been any abnormalities around here over the past few days?”
Qin Naihe shook his head. “Everything was normal.” Then, he asked curiously, “Pavilion Master, did you manage to meet the Saint?”
Lu Zhou replied, “Chen Fu can be considered as someone who knows how to distinguish right from wrong. I found the Resurrection Scroll.”
Qin Naihe was overjoyed upon hearing this. He hurriedly bowed and said, “Mr. Seventh is saved!”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “It’s too early to tell. We still need to figure out how to use the Resurrection Scroll.”
Right now, Lu Zhou really did not know how to use the Resurrection Scroll to bring the dead to life. Moreover, Chen Fu also said that using the scroll would incur heaven’s wrath. Since he did not know what heaven’s wrath was like, he could not act rashly. This was a matter of life or death. It was best to exercise caution in this matter. It was truly more difficult to save someone than to kill someone.
Lu Zhou and Qin Naihe rested for a while in the green lotus domain’s Lost Land before they made their way to the Qin clan’s southern training hall.
…
In the evening.
Lu Zhou and Qin Naihe finally arrived outside the southern training hall.
Yuan Lang reported the duo’s arrival to Qin Renyue, and Qin Renyue personally flew out to welcome Lu Zhou after receiving the good news.
Qin Renyue called out happily, “Brother Lu!”
“I’ll be staying here for a night,” Lu Zhou said.
“Brother Lu, there’s no need to be so courteous. Let alone one night, you can stay here as often as you want.”
“Thank you.”
After entering the training hall, Lu Zhou chatted with Qin Renyue while Qin Naihe and the others stood respectfully at the side.
Qin Renyue asked, “Brother Lu, did you meet the Saint? Did the meeting go well?”
All of them were curious about the Saint.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “It went well. Chen Fu isn’t as cold or arrogant as I’d imagined.”
Qin Renyue revealed an expression of admiration as he said, “It’s pity I can’t see the Saint.”
“You admire the Saint so much?” Lu Zhou asked.
Qin Renyue reacted quickly. He thought he detected a hint of jealousy so he hastily shook his head. He said, “No, no, no. It’s nothing compared to my admiration for Brother Lu! Although he’s a Saint, considering our brotherhood, how can he compare to Brother Lu?”
Lu Zhou: “...”
“You’re overthinking things. If you want to meet him, I’ll bring you to see him next time,” Lu Zhou said.
Qin Renyue was pleasantly surprised. He blurted out, “Really?!”
Lu Zhou suspected Qin Renyue of being another die-hard fan of Chen Fu.
Qin Renyue realized he had lost his composure a little. After all, he was a Venerable Master. In the past, he was one of the four Venerable Masters of the green lotus domain, and now, he was one of the two Venerable Masters in the green lotus domain. His status was not bad, and he had many supporters. How could he lose his cool?
Lu Zhou looked at Qin Renyue with a scrutinizing gaze that seemed to say Qin Renyue was a die-hard fan who was beyond saving.
Qin Renyue felt even more embarrassed. He hurriedly said, “It’s getting late. I won’t disturb Brother Lu’s rest so I’ll take my leave first.”
Since Qin Renyue was leaving, the others naturally left as well.
…
After leaving the southern training hall, Qin Renyue looked at the sky and muttered to himself, “So the Saint is still alive…”
Yuan Lang said in a low voice, “Venerable Master, Saints are said to be able to live for 100,000 years. Saint Chen Fu has been around for about 100,000 years, right? Does this mean he has had another breakthrough?”
“Well, we can’t rule out this possibility. The Great Void has never acted against the twin lotus domain. It’s possible they’re wary of Saint Chen,” Qin Renyue said with a sigh, “In any case, I feel like a great disaster is coming.”
“Venerable Master, there’s no need to worry. No matter what, all of us will be with the Qin clan until our deaths!” Yuan Lang said.
Qin Renyue nodded and said, “I hope I’m overthinking things. No matter what, we have to continue to build a good relationship with the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
“Continue to build a good relationship?” Yuan Lang scratched his head. Did he not already build a good relationship with the Evil Sky Pavilion? He really did not know how to proceed further.
Qin Renyue said, “When necessary, the 49 Swordsmen should visit the Evil Sky Pavilion to help out.”
“Understood,” Yuan Lang said, “Speaking of which, previously, Mr. Fourth wanted to recruit us, but I declined. The 49 Swordsmen can do everything to help the Evil Sky Pavilion, but we’ll never betray the Qin clan!”
Qin Renyue was slightly surprised. “That happened?”
“Yes.”
“If it happens again…”
Yuan Lang hastily interjected, clearly nervous, “Don’t worry, Venerable Master! There won’t be a next time!”
“I meant to say if it happens again, don’t forget about me,” Qin Renyue said before he flashed away.
Yuan Lang: “???”
…
Early the next morning.
Lu Zhou rode on Whitzard as he and Qin Naihe flew to the runic passage that would bring them back.
Qin Renyue, the 49 Swordsmen, and the disciples came out to see them off.
This grand send-off puzzled Lu Zhou. As his gaze swept across everyone, he asked, “Qin Renyue, what’s going on?”
Qin Renyue replied. “The Qin clan’s disciples admire Brother Lu and want to have a longer look at Brother Lu. I hope Brother Lu doesn’t mind this.”
Lu Zhou nodded, not surprised by Chen Fu’s words. After all, he was much more spirited and imposing than Chen Fu. Moreover, the Evil Sky Pavilion was famous as well. It was normal for people to revere him.
“Alright, I’m leaving,” Lu Zhou said with a wave of his sleeve before he stepped into the runic passage.
Qin Renyue called out, “49 Swordsmen.”
“Your orders, Venerable Master?”
The 49 Swordsmen stepped forward in unison.
“Send Brother Lu off.”
“Understood!”
Then, the 49 Swordsmen stepped into the runic passage as well.
Lu Zhou: “?”
Qin Renyue nodded and said, “Fortunately, this runic passage is large.”
Yuan Lang stood at the lead and said with a straight face, “Don’t worry, Venerable Master! We will definitely escort Senior Lu back to the Evil Sky Pavilion safely!”
‘Escort? Safely?’
Lu Zhou felt it was a bit crowded and was about to say something when Yuan Lang activated the runic passage and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, please take care of us.”
“....”
