“No… Didn’t you say you’ll respect my decision?” Zhao Yue said.

Lian Xing shook her head. “It depends on the situation. The current situation doesn’t allow me to respect your decision now, Sister Zhao Yue. If you don’t come with me now, I’m afraid you’ll die.”

“You’re going to kill me if I refuse?” Zhao Yue took two steps back warily.

“If it weren’t for me, you’d already die. As it is, it’s almost too late for me to protect you. They said that they’d give me seven days. If you refuse, they’ll come for you in seven days. Even if I know you’d refuse, I still want to persuade you. I already risk breaking the council’s rules as it is…” Lian Xing said.

Zhao Yue remained silent. She knew the force behind Lian Xing was very strong. It was so strong even the entire golden lotus domain was not a match for it.

“Apart from that…” Lian Xing continued to say, “Other forces are already here in Great Yan. It’s highly possible that they’ll make a move against the Evil Sky Pavilion. Currently, the Evil Sky Pavilion only has Ye Tianxin holding down the fort. The size of her mount, Cheng Huang, is very conspicuous. I don’t know how it concealed its aura, but a Birth Chart Beast like Cheng Huang will be a target for others sooner or later…”

“Cheng Huang is so powerful, but it’ll be a target for others?” Zhao Yue said in surprise.

“You know too little about the outside world. Cheng Huang is indeed powerful, but it has already left its territory and lost a lot of its cultivation. I have observed secretly. It’s not as powerful as it was before. Moreover, I suspect Ye Tianxin also has the Great Void energy.”

“The Great Void energy again. If I knew this was going to happen, I’d give it to all of you a long time ago.” Zhao Yue had grown sick of hearing about the Great Void energy.

“Don’t speak words of anger. You’ll understand sooner or later. Anyway, I’ve said everything I wanted to say. I’ll look for you again in seven days.” After Lian Xing finished speaking, she leaped up into the air and flew away as light as a swallow.

…

Lu Zhou opened his eyes, cutting off the Heavenly Writing Power. Although his extraordinary power had evolved into the supreme mystic power, it did not mean he could squander it recklessly.

Among all the powers from the Heavenly Writing, the power of sight was the most energy-consuming. He had only observed his two disciples for a few minutes, but he had already used up half of the supreme mystic power. Fortunately, with the flood-grade Purple Glazed Ceramic, his speed of replenishing the supreme mystic power was a lot faster.

“Seven days…” Lu Zhou muttered to himself. It was impossible for the runic passage to be completed in seven days. The golden lotus domain was much weaker compared to the red lotus domain. However, if the red lotus domain and golden lotus domain were compared to the black lotus domain, there was not much difference at all. The difference was probably between one or two punches.

It was, indeed, difficult for him to deal with matters alone. The red lotus domain needed him, and the golden lotus domain needed him. He did not know how to split himself in two.

“It seems like I need to further increase the Evil Sky Pavilion’s strength by recruiting experts,” Lu Zhou muttered under his breath. Soon enough, he thought about the Black Tower Council. The internal strife in the Black Tower Council was very serious. Just like Si Wuya had said, ‘The enemy of my enemy is a friend’. Perhaps, he could recruit experts from the Black Tower Council in the future?

Lu Zhou shook his head. The most pressing problem was the golden lotus domain was so far away; how was he going to solve that problem?

Lu Zhou began to organize his thoughts. First, his priority was to solve the problem in the golden lotus domain. After they managed to successfully replicate the runic passage, he would increase the strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion. At that time, he would no longer be stretched thin.

In fact, Lu Zhou had always subconsciously felt he had to protect the people in the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain. However, there was actually no need for that. The Black Tower Council needed the people alive to implement their captivity plan, therefore, they would not lay their hands on the sheep. He did not need to be the people’s savior; it was not his responsibility to save the world. All he needed to do was increase the strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

‘Di Jiang can reach the golden lotus domain in five days.’ With this, a plan began to form in his mind.

…

Early the next morning.

Lu Zhou summoned Si Wuya and Mingshi Yin to the Preservation Hall.

When the two disciples entered the hall, they looked a little nervous. Upon seeing their master, they bowed and greeted him. “Master.”

Lu Zhou looked at his two disciples and said, “There’s something I’m worried about.”

Ming Shiyin smiled and asked, “What’s there for you to worry about, master?”

“I need to return to the golden lotus domain for half a month,” Lu Zhou said.

Ming Shiyin’s eyes lit up immediately, and he said ingratiatingly, “Master, you want to return to the golden lotus domain? Don’t worry! Everything has been arranged here. Moreover, Seventh Junior Brother will be here…”

Si Wuya chimed in, “Fourth Senior Brother is right…”

Lu Zhou said, “Up until now, apart from me, there’s no one in the Evil Sky Pavilion who’s a match for the black lotus cultivators. What if they come while I’m away? How are you going to deal with it?”

Ming Shiyin replied without any hesitation, “Why do we need to deal with it? We can just run away! Eh? Seventh Junior Brother, why are you looking at me like that?”

Si Wuya. “…”

Lu Zhou looked at Ming Shiyin and cocked an eyebrow as he said, “Run away?”

“Uh…” Mingshi Yin smiled sheepishly. “What I mean is we don’t have to engage in a direct fight. The red lotus domain is so big; there’s bound to be a place we can temporarily hide… I mean stay…”

“…”

Si Wuya forced himself to laugh before he said, “Actually, Fourth Senior Brother is right. The Black Tower Council’s annihilation plan only targets those at the Ten-leaf stage or above. Moreover, master had killed the judge and soundly defeated the blackguards. If the council were to send people over, they would definitely send more people or stronger people here. However, those experts with eight or more Birth Charts hold high positions in the council. The internal strife in the council is so great that those experts won’t easily leave the council if it’s not absolutely necessary. In the unlikely event that they send those experts here, Fourth Senior Brother and I will lead everyone out of the capital and take the opportunity to investigate the Birth Chart Beasts in the inner pass.” After he finished saying this, he said with a sigh, “This will be so much easier if we have a spy in the Black Tower Council.”

Lu Zhou. “…”

‘I won’t tell you that I already have one…’

After a beat, Lu Zhou asked, “Old Seventh, what’s your current cultivation base?”

A familiar ominous feeling rose in the two disciples’ hearts immediately when they heard these words. Was… was it about to start again?

A troubled expression appeared on Si Wuya’s face. “This… Well, it’s barely at the Nine-leaf stage…”

Lu Zhou nodded and did not blame Si Wuya. After all, Si Wuya was really too busy. If it were not for the Great Void Seed, with the way Si Wuya cultivated, he would barely make any progress. Then, he turned to look at Mingshi Yin. “Old Fourth, what about you?”

“Me? I’m at the Nine-leaf stage!” Mingshi Yin answered confidently.

Lu Zhou raised his hand immediately, and a golden palm seal flew toward Mingshi Yin. “Alright, let me test and verify your strength. All the techniques you’ve learned over the years, use all of them. I’ll suppress my cultivation until it’s below the Ten-leaf stage.”

“…” Mingshi Yin felt like crying. He hurriedly raised his hand and flew out of the Preservation Hall with the golden palm seal hot on his trails.

Si Wuya sighed in relief inwardly. ‘It’s finally your turn…’

Lu Zhou’s figure vanished from the hall and arrived outside at lightning speed. He raised his palm again, and another golden palm seal shot toward Mingshi Yin again.

Ming Shiyin was shocked.

Boom!

He turned around and stomped his feet.

The marble floor within a radius of 100 meters cracked immediately.

The palm seal entered the marble floor.

At this moment, not even Mingshi Yin’s shadow could be seen.

Lu Zhou knew that his fourth disciple had cultivated the underground escape technique so he looked at the ground. He was not in a hurry. He leisurely looked at the ground after he rested his hands on his back.

‘I have to test Old Fourth’s strength. Let’s see how long he can hold on. If he can hold on for a long time, I’ll feel more at ease leaving for the golden lotus domain.’

Lu Zhou did not use the supreme mystic power as he stomped on the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked.

“No one’s here?” This was out of Lu Zhou’s expectations. However, there were not many places one could hide outside of the Preservation Hall. His eyes immediately moved to the corridor.

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou flew toward the corridor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this time, numerous energy seals shot toward Lu Zhou from the top of the corridor. There were both energy swords and energy sabers.

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou unleashed the Great Dark Heaven Palm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A palm seal flew out and deflected all the energy seals.

Following that, Lu Zhou unleashed his grand technique. From the left side of the corridor, he flashed to the right and struck upward.

Bang!

The Great Seal of Fearlessness left a palm-shaped hole behind as it shot up into the sky.

…

At this time, the experts in the palace were alerted to the commotion. When they saw the palm seal, they could not help but feel amazed.

“An assassin?”

“I’m impressed. There’s actually someone who’s unafraid of death and dares to assassinate Senior Lu!”

…

Lu Zhou raised his head. His palm strike missed again!

‘Where did he run off to?’ Lu Zhou felt like he had overestimated himself. He should not have said that he would suppress his cultivation base.

Lu Zhou studied his surroundings carefully when he felt a gust of wind at his back. He turned around immediately and struck with his palm.

Mingshi Yin dove as he struck with both his hands.

Lu Zhou immediately pushed his hand out to defend himself.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It did not take long for Mingshi Yin to realize he was completely unable to breach his master’s defenses. In just a flash, he disappeared again.

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou nodded. He flashed and appeared in front of Mingshi Yin in just a blink of an eye. With his left hand resting on his back, he grabbed Mingshi Yin with his right hand before throwing him out.

Bang!

“Ouch!” Mingshi Yin cried out in pain as he was sent flying back.
