Inside the red carriage.
Lan Xihe turned his head and looked at the three people standing to the side. It was just a symbolic glance, and he couldn't really see it. The red carriage blocked his line of sight. She probed Yu Zhenghai, Shen Xi, and Zhao Hongfu's condition.
He nodded slightly and said softly,
"They are your subordinates?"
Without waiting for Lu Zhou's introduction, Shen Xi said politely, "This is the pavilion master's first disciple. I'm the Evil Sky Pavilion's Guardian, and this is the Evil Sky Pavilion's newly promoted Chief Rune Master."
Lan Xihe murmured softly,
"A protector with four fates …"
Shen Xi: "…"
It seemed like he was being looked down upon, but from Lan Xihe's point of view, they had the strength to look down on him. Four Life Providences, be it the White Tower or the Black Tower, would at most be the Black and White Guards.
Lu Zhou said.
"Ability doesn't matter in terms of cultivation base. Guardian Shen has contributed a lot to the Evil Sky Pavilion. He's one of my capable subordinates."
Shen Xi's Loyalty soared by 20%.
Lu Zhou was merely speaking the truth. He did not expect it to affect Shen Xi.
During his time in the Black Tower, no one had acknowledged him.
Otherwise, Shen Xi would not be thinking about preserving his own life at all times, because the Black Tower was still not worth his life. The black tower treated the members of the lower council as tools.
Sometimes … people's hearts were won over in this way.
"You have a point," Lan Xihe said, "This rune master seems to be very young. He's also a member of the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Zhao Hongfu laughed heartily, with a posture that was almost no different from that of a man. "Youth is capital … the people of the Formation Academy all say that I have great talent. I believe you. "
Lan Xi said,
"I heard that hundreds of years ago, the Rune Academy found a group of children to learn runes. Most of them were eliminated, and only one person learned all the rune knowledge. That person is you, right? "
Zhao Hongfu smiled awkwardly.
"Well, can we not talk about this?"
Lan Xihe smiled softly. "You are indeed very talented. It's just that you assimilated too late. It's surprising that the Great Yuan Dynasty didn't kill you. "
"He dares? I have the support of the pavilion master now. Whoever kills me will be killed by my pavilion master," said Zhao Hongfu.
His flattery was truly resounding.
Lan Xihe no longer spoke to Zhao Hongfu.
At this time, the woman in blue bowed and said, "We've arrived at the Shu region. Fifty miles southwest is the territory of the Black Tower."
"Got it," said Lan Xihe.
Shen Xi knew Lu Zhou had never been to the Black Tower before. Hence, he stepped forward and introduced the place to Lu Zhou. "The Black Tower occupies 10,000 hectares of land, and it's arranged in a seven-star pattern. There are 3,600 Daoist veins that surround it from the inside out. There are seven main pagodas that control seven different formations. "
"Grand Formation?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
Lu Zhou had seen the power of many Formations. For example, the Ten Terminal Formation in Great Yan's Divine Capital and the Absolute Heaven Formation in the red lotus. If the Black Tower and White Tower could take out an array flag like the Eight Desolation Six Direction Flag, how could their lair be weak?
Did Lan Xihe purposely trick this old man?
In truth, even if Lan Xi did not agree to this bet, Lu Zhou would still make a trip here.
…
Not long after, the red carriage arrived at the territory of the Black Tower.
The seven main pagodas pierced through the void, so high that the top could not be seen.
The lower half of the tower was shrouded in clouds and mist … The low buildings below were all arranged according to the layout of the Big Dipper.
The red carriage stopped not far from Dubhe Pagoda.
It was also the northernmost black tower building.
A few people flew over at a low altitude.
He stopped a hundred meters away from the red chariot.
The blue-clothed woman didn't wait for the other party to speak and spoke first: "Please inform Pagoda Master Xia that my master wants to see him."
Without any hesitation, the men in black turned around and flew toward the black tower complex.
Not long after.
An old man flew out from the Black Tower and said, "Lu Si pays his respects to Tower Master Lan. Tower Master Lan … please come inside."
Lan Xihe said,
"I came here because I have something to ask of you. There's no need for me to enter."
The old man revealed a puzzled expression. "It's rare for Tower Master Lan to come here … If we don't properly entertain him, Tower Master Xia will blame us."
Lan Xihe said,
"Since I'm here, I naturally have an important matter."
Lu Si didn't dare to delay any longer and said, "Tower Master Lan, please wait a moment."
Marius quickly retreated and was out of sight.
Lu Zhou stood calmly as he looked at the black tower. He said, "Even you don't dare to enter. What's so special about this black tower?"
"I'm not afraid. I just don't think it's necessary," said Lan Xihe.
"I'll believe you for now."
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said, "If he doesn't appear … Who's going to win this bet?"
"Fleeing or avoiding battle is considered a loss," Lan Xihe said.
"That's fair," Lu Zhou said.
Yu Zhenghai said, "Master, there's a lot of conflict in the black tower now. I'm afraid he won't dare to come out."
"He'll come out," Lan Xihe said.
"Are you sure?" Lu Zhou asked.
The blue-clad lady said with a smile, "There's no one my master can't meet. The black and white towers have fought for so many years, and the only person Xia Zhengrong doesn't dare to offend is my master."
"…"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Three figures appeared in the air from Dubhe Pagoda.
They did not leave the black tower's area.
"So, it's you, Tower Master Lan." The voice was deep and resounding.
Lan Xihe said, "I'm here today with a request."
Her way of speaking had always been concise and clear, without beating around the bush.
"What is it, Tower Master Lan?"
"I've made a bet with the Evil Sky Pavilion's Master … I bet that you'll defeat him," Lan Xihe said.
In the darkness, there was a tall figure. It was the master of the Black Tower, Xia Zhengrong.
"Evil Sky Pavilion's Master?"
At this moment, Lu Zhou stepped away from the red chariot. He looked at the figure and said, "That's me."
"Seeing is believing." Xia Zhengrong's voice was as calm as ever.
"You heard what Lan Xihe said. I'm determined to win this bet, "Lu Zhou said.
He called Lan Xihe's name directly, which made the blue-clothed woman feel a bit awkward. However, since Tower Master Lan didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either.
Xia Zhengrong ignored Lu Zhou. He looked at the red chariot and asked, "Is this what you're here for, Tower Master Lan?"
If Lan Xihe hadn't come, he wouldn't have come out even if the sky collapsed.
He didn't expect it to be because of a bet … Besides, what did this bet have to do with him?
Lan Xihe said,
"If Pagoda Master Xia can defeat Pavilion Master Lu, then for the next thousand years, White Pagoda will not ask about anything other than the White Lotus."
Lu Zhou was slightly shocked.
Regardless of whether Xia Zhengrong won or lost, Lan Xihe would have to pay a huge price.
'Is she that interested in Ye Tianxin?'
Xia Zhengrong had to admit that he was tempted.
The Black Tower and White Tower were tired of fighting. They had avoided each other for a thousand years. This was a great concession.
At the same time, Xia Zhengrong was thinking about what kind of bet Lan Xihe was willing to make.
"Alright." Xia Zhengrong raised his voice.
From the beginning until the end, the Black Tower did not seem to have many people. However, the seven towering main towers, the Seven Stars Layout, and the Shu Land that was filled with Daoist veins showed that the Black Tower was not as simple as it seemed.
However, Lu Zhou had many trump cards.
If he disregarded the cost, he would have no problem taking down Xia Zhengrong.
The only thing he had to consider now was how much he could save. He had to achieve the best result with the least cost.
Lu Zhou said, "Xia Zhengrong."
He was still used to calling Xia Zhengrong by his name.
"I have a piece of advice."
"What is it, Pavilion Master Lu?"
"If you fight me, you'll lose without a doubt.
If you surrender, you'll be spared from the pain, "Lu Zhou said. If you surrender, you'll be spared from the pain, "Lu Zhou said.
Xia Zhengrong looked up. He shifted his gaze from Lu Zhou to the red chariot. It was as though he had made up his mind.
Without much thought, he said, "I surrender."
Lan Xihe, Shen Xi, Yu Zhenghai, and the others on the red chariot. "…"
