"Ten … ten times?"
Zhe Bieli was shocked. His fingers were trembling slightly.
"You can't make the decision?" Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at Zhe Bieli.
"…"
Zhe Bieli's expression turned sour.
"They're just some unimportant people. Senior Lu, why do you have to do this?"
Double the amount was enough to make him bleed. Ten times was equivalent to half his life.
"Unimportant people?"
Lu Zhou stopped stroking his beard. He looked at Zhe Bieli who was sitting on the floor with an indifferent expression. "To me, you're also unimportant."
He placed his palm on the table.
The wine cup on the table spun. Whoosh!
It flew in front of Zhe Bieli.
Zhe Bieli's expression changed drastically. He immediately circulated his Primal Qi to block the cup.
The cup hovered a meter away from him as it buzzed.
"Senior …" Zhe Bieli explained, "We can talk things out. Why must we fight?"
"Why can't I fight those unimportant people?"
"Even if you kill me … they won't be able to come back to life," Zhe Bieli said.
"That's not important. I'll take 352 heads as a consolation to the dead."
"…"
Whizz!
A faint blue light suddenly appeared around the wine cup.
Bam!
The wine cup shattered.
The wine hovered in the air and transformed into thousands upon thousands of hair-like energy swords that instantly appeared before Zhe Bieli.
Zhe Bieli's heart trembled. He tried to block the tiny energy swords with all his might, but he discovered that his Primal Qi was useless. The densely packed energy swords were still right before his eyes. If they were half an inch closer, he would be blinded.
'How did he do it?'
This question was unnecessary.
'Isn't it a piece of cake for an almighty being with 12 Birth Charts to kill you?'
He held his breath and completely gave up on resisting.
The moment he used all his might, he had proven that resistance was futile.
His breathing was stagnant, and the pressure was unbearable.
"Alright!"
Zhe Bieli said, "Ten times it is then!"
Splash!
The wine fell to the ground, together with the broken pieces of the wine cup, all fell to the ground.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Human lives are of the utmost importance.
There's no distinction between nobility and inferiority. To you, their lives are unimportant. However, to their families, are they not their own flesh and blood? "
How could he not understand this logic?
Zhe Bieli felt extremely uncomfortable.
But he dared not refute.
Lu Zhou continued to say, "If this were any other time, I might not even agree to a hundred times the price, let alone ten times."
Zhe Bieli was afraid that his boss would return.
"Go and get ready! Quick!! "Zhe Bieli ordered.
"Yes."
The two subordinates immediately ran out.
He had brought out the item, but he had to fulfill it.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the injured man lying on the ground and said, "Are you satisfied with what I've done?"
"Very … very … satisfied."
The two of them were extremely excited.
Yu Zhenghai said, "My master has sought justice for all of you. If you're not satisfied, you can speak up."
The two of them merely joined their palms together at Lu Zhou and made a gesture of gratitude.
Zhe Bieli said,
"Don't worry, I will definitely punish the culprit."
"Apart from that, you'll have to promise that you won't do it again," Lu Zhou said.
"Of course."
Lu Zhou nodded. He stroked his beard and said, "Now that the first matter is settled, let's talk about the second matter."
Zhe Bieli was speechless.
His breath was forcibly stifled.
He felt terrible.
Lu Zhou said, "The Dark Glory Alliance's master assassin, Ye Liuyun, tried to assassinate me. I'm sure you've heard about it. "
"…"
He had more than heard about it.
News of that idiot's death had immediately spread throughout the alliance.
"Senior Lu, Ye Liuyun is already dead. Why bother with a dead man?" Zhe Bieli asked.
"You mean, this old man has to swallow this anger?"
"…"
'This is the end of it!'
Zhe Bieli's expression contorted.
"Ye Liuyun's methods are shocking. I was careless and wasted the Sea Soul Pearl to protect myself," Lu Zhou said.
"Doesn't the Sea Soul Pearl belong to the black tower?"
Zhe Bieli regretted it the moment he said that.
'Isn't this the same as admitting that I know about this matter?
What a cheap mouth! '
Shen Xi said, "This item belongs to the pavilion master a long time ago."
Zhe Bieli said,
"The Dark Glory Alliance is willing to offer another portion of Obsidian Essence. This will make up for your loss, Senior Lu. "
Lu Zhou looked at Zhe Bieli with his deep and weary eyes.
He did not speak.
He kept stroking his beard.
Are you sending off a beggar?
"Senior Lu, the Dark Glory Alliance really can't offer that much obsidian essence. It's extremely rare. Even the Black Tower wouldn't be able to take out more than ten of them! "Zhe Bieli said.
Lu Zhou remained silent as he looked at Yu Shangrong.
Go on.
Zhe Bie Li's expression turned ugly …
"I … I … I don't have the authority to do that!" Zhe Bieli's voice trembled.
Shen Xi chuckled. "Then what were you bragging about earlier, saying that you can make the decision? You should just call your alliance head out … If not for the pavilion master's good temper, do you think you would still be sitting here?"
"…"
Shen Xi had purposely said these words. Who asked Zhe Bieli to mock him?
Seeing Zhe Bieli's pained face, Shen Xi instantly felt relieved.
It is good to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. The ancients did not deceive me!
"Alright."
Zhe Bieli slammed the table.
Pa.
"Five portions of obsidian essence." Zhe Bieli gnashed his teeth and said, "The Dark Glory Alliance doesn't have that many essences, but I'll find a way to collect them. Please give me some time, Senior Lu. "
Lu Zhou stroked his beard in satisfaction.
"Don't forget about the ten portions."
"… Yes …" Zhe Bieli clenched his fists. His heart was bleeding.
"Very well."
Lu Zhou rose to his feet slowly and said, "I'll give you three days …"
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Zhe Bieli's reply.
He waved his sleeves and walked out with his hands on his back.
Shen Xi immediately ordered for a stretcher to be carried and followed Lu Zhou.
Yu Zhenghai was the last to stand up. He walked up to Zhe Bieli and patted his shoulder as he said, "To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've seen my master being so kind. You should be thankful. "
"…"
What else could Zhe Bieli say?
He could only smile awkwardly.
Yu Zhenghai walked out.
However, as luck would have it …
A figure flew toward the majestic great hall at a low altitude. He laughed and said, "I heard that one of the Dark Glory Alliance's Five Tiger Generals, Zhe Bieli, has superb swordsmanship. Can you withstand a strike from me, Yelu Chunan? "
The figure flew toward them.
He wielded his sword with his right arm and shot forward at lightning speed.
When he shot through the air, the space several meters in front of him seemed to be distorted, forming a cone-shaped area.
The cone-shaped area was shrouded by a black energy sword.
Shen Xi exclaimed, "What a good sword."
Yelu Chunan did not stop. He merely glanced at Lu Zhou who stood calmly in his long robe before the great hall.
'You're the one!'
A cry of surprise rang from the great hall.
"Stop!"
'Should I stop just because you tell me to?'
'Impossible!'
Yelu Chunan charged toward Lu Zhou with his sword in hand.
Apart from Shen Xi and Yu Zhenghai who appeared calm, the others held their breaths as they looked nervously at Yelu Chunan.
In the blink of an eye …
Yelu Chunan's shocking strike was upon them.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. His palm shone with a blue radiance that formed a miniature vortex. He thrust his arm forward.
Zzzt!
The tip of the sword stopped the miniature blue vortex in Lu Zhou's palm.
He was frozen in place.
Yelu Chunan stood in front of him. He looked at the person before him in shock.
"Stop! Stop right now! I'm Zhe Bieli! Brother Yelu, stop! "Zhe Bieli shot out at lightning speed.
Yelu Chunan smiled.
"Since when did the Dark Radiance Alliance have such an elite?"
Lu Zhou frowned. He felt the Profound Mystery Power that was leaking out of his body.
What would happen if this stalemate continued?
"Impudent!"
He pushed his palm forward to meet the Big Dipper Sword.
Bam!
The Big Dipper Sword bounced backward.
Yelu Chunan was caught off guard. He did not expect his opponent's strength to suddenly increase by several times during this stalemate.
The Big Dipper Sword flew out of his hand. The hilt, imbued with his own energy seal, struck his chest.
Puh!
He flipped three times in the air before he landed on the ground.
Clang! The Big Dipper Sword fell to the ground.
It was over with one move.
'Eh? How did this sword block such a powerful Profound Mystery Power? '
Lu Zhou retracted his fingers. The Big Dipper Sword buzzed as it flew into his palm.
Yelu Chunan was stunned by the palm strike.
"…"
Zhe Bieli, one of the Dark Radiance Five Tigers, was equally stunned. "…"
Lu Zhou examined the Big Dipper Sword for a moment before he handed it to Yu Zhenghai.
He looked at Yelu Chunan and said indifferently,
"Zhe Bieli said that your cultivation is almost the same as Fan Ruozhi's. But this sword … you seem to be far from it. "
