Xia Zhengrong's decision surprised everyone.
The person who was most surprised was none other than the White Tower's Tower Master, Lan Xihe, whom he had fought with for many years.
As the saying goes, the one who understands you the most is not you, but your enemy. Lan Xihe was well aware of Xia Zhengrong's temper and personality. Along the way, she was certain that Xia Zhengrong would come out and fight … Similarly, Xia Zhengrong also understood Lan Xihe. He knew that Lan Xihe was a man of his word and would never go back on his word.
In the end, Xia Zhengrong chose to admit defeat.
Shen Xi was overwhelmed with emotions as he watched, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Inside the red carriage, Lan Xihe's calm features finally furrowed his brow.
On second thought, Xia Zhengrong's decision was reasonable. The conflict between the Black Tower and the White Tower was the deepest. The Black Tower could not wait to see the White Tower bleed. When it came to matters of interest, they would fight to the death sooner or later. There was no need for them to become enemies with the powerful Evil Sky Pavilion over a promise.
…
Lu Zhou hovered in the air and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good."
He turned around and looked at the red carriage, saying, "Lan Xihe, this wager ends here. The winner has been decided."
The lady in blue was not convinced. She bowed to the red carriage and said, "Master, Xia Zhengrong is doing this on purpose!"
Lan Xihe's brows relaxed, and his expression returned to normal. He said, "Give it to Pavilion Master Lu."
"Yes."
Even though she was dissatisfied, the blue-clothed woman could only obey the order.
The blue-clothed woman took out the purple bag containing eighty percent obsidian essence.
Yu Zhenghai said, "You're magnanimous, Tower Master Lan. Just give me the pouch."
Yu Zhenghai accepted the pouch and counted its contents. After putting it away, he looked at the black tower with a pleased expression.
Xia Zhengrong naturally saw this scene, but he didn't know what was inside. However, this had nothing to do with him, so he said, "If the two of you don't mind, please come to my humble abode."
"No," Lan Xihe said. "Let's go."
"Yes."
Xia Zhengrong cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't be sending you off. Have a safe trip, Tower Master Lan."
After saying this, he cupped his fists at Lu Zhou and said, "As you wish, Pavilion Master Lu."
From beginning to end, Xia Zhengrong did not leave the area of the black tower that Big Dipper had set up.
However …
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Wait."
"Pavilion Master Lu, do you have any other advice?"
"I'm here for two other matters," Lu Zhou said.
"Please speak, Pavilion Master Lu."
The red chariot, which had already turned around, stopped again.
Lan Xihe's curiosity was piqued, and he watched the show from afar.
Lu Zhou said.
"Your people injured this old man's people. This is the first matter. Secondly, the Black Tower sent people to strike this old man's disciple into the abyss and into the black water. His life and death are unknown. This is the second matter."
Hearing this, Xia Zhengrong frowned, "There's such a thing?"
"Now you know," Lu Zhou said.
Xia Zhengrong said in a deep voice, "Who is so daring to attack Pavilion Master Lu?"
In the distance, Shen Xi hurriedly said, "Who else could it be? Of course it's Duan Xihua."
The three phantoms fell silent.
"Pavilion Master Lu, in the Land of Bedlam, many factions are fighting for the Heroic Academy. The Black Tower had lost Great Elder Shi Youran, as well as a considerable number of Black Insignia Guards. How about we write this matter off? "Xia Zhengrong said.
Before Lu Zhou could say anything, Yu Zhenghai cursed.
"What a joke. How can the lives of those country bumpkins be compared to my Second Junior Brother's?"
"…"
Xia Zhengrong's voice turned solemn. "Pavilion Master Lu, I've tried my best not to become enemies with you. Why do you have to be so overbearing?"
"I'm not forcing you. I'm forcing Duan Xihua who's trying to sow discord. If you kill Duan Xihua in front of me, I'll let bygones be bygones, "Lu Zhou said.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Lan Xihe watched everything from within the red chariot without batting an eyelid. She waved her hand lightly, and the curtains were drawn.
She finally saw Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air.
After studying him for a long time, she looked at Xia Zhengrong and the three phantoms in front of Dubhe Pagoda.
Xia Zhengrong said, "One should forgive when possible. Why do you have to be so ruthless?"
At this moment, Lan Xihe finally spoke from the red chariot.
He said indifferently, "Pagoda Master Xia, it's not wise to protect despicable people."
Xia Zhengrong fell silent.
After waiting for some time, he said to the phantoms on the left, "Let Duan Xihua out."
"Understood."
A black shadow swept into the Black Tower.
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the virtual shadow returned, bowed and said, "Elder Duan is not feeling well, so he is resting in the Megrez Tower. He gave me this. "
The black figure handed the note to Xia Zhengrong.
Xia Zhengrong opened the note and read it. He silently held it in his palm. When he opened his fist again, the note turned into ashes.
"Pavilion Master Lu, I'm sorry. Elder Duan was feeling unwell. What do you think of this? The black tower is willing to take 10 more obsidian essence. "
Lu Zhou shook his head.
"Looks like you're determined to protect him?"
Xia Zhengrong said, "Forgive me for not being able to comply."
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Whoosh —
Lu Zhou flew toward the horizon.
Seeing this scene, Lan Xihe's clear eyes flashed with surprise.
Meanwhile.
Xia Zhengrong ascended to the sky and arrived at the limit of the black tower's canopy. The astrolabe bloomed.
"Pavilion Master Lu, please return!"
Lu Zhou glanced at them.
He discovered that Xia Zhengrong was still within the Formation's range. The range was like a huge bowl that covered the seven main towers.
The pitch-black astrolabe that was as large as the canopy blocked Lu Zhou's path.
He did not stop. Instead, he turned around and said, "Lan Xihe … Do you think I'll be able to kill Duan Xihua?"
Lan Xihe did not reply.
Lu Zhou continued flying forward. He raised his right hand. Blue light shone from his fingers. The words' Abandon Wisdom 'shone brightly.
Lan Xihe muttered softly, "Blue …"
Boom!
Lu Zhou flew in a straight line and struck the black astrolabe with his palm.
The canopy shook. The Daoist veins on the black tower rippled.
Creak!
The astrolabe seemed to bend slightly.
Xia Zhengrong put the astrolabe away and descended. He looked up in shock and said, "Pavilion Master Lu … Why did you do this?"
The moment he retracted the black astrolabe …
Lu Zhou's palm seal struck the canopy in the sky.
The Daoist veins rippled. Nothing happened.
Lan Xihe reminded him, "Pavilion Master Lu, it's best if you don't go in."
Lu Zhou glanced at the thick Daoist veins. It was like a layer of glass that separated the inside from the outside.
The Daoist veins that even Lan Xihe had to be wary of …
Lu Zhou followed the Daoist veins and flew toward the Megrez Pagoda.
Xia Zhengrong arrived beside the Megrez Pagoda as well. He looked up at the sky.
Lu Zhou looked around him and silently chanted the power of hearing.
The sounds of discussion, surprise … and disdain could be heard from all directions.
"Don't panic. He can't break the Daoist veins. Even Lan Xihe has to give in to the Daoist veins. There's still Pagoda Master Xia."
"Old Villain Lu isn't weak either. It's best to be cautious. Lan Xihe is too despicable. She's trying to sow discord. Pagoda Master Xia didn't fall for her trick, but Old Villain Lu is stubborn! "
…
A deep conversation rang from another corner of the Megrez Pagoda.
"He's too inexperienced to kill me, Duan Xihua … I don't think he can even get past Xia Zhengrong. While he's challenging us, go out and kill his disciple and subordinates. "
"Understood."
Lu Zhou retracted his power. He looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Xia Zhengrong, I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to protect Duan Xihua?"
"Forgive and forget!" Xia Zhengrong said, "Pavilion Master Lu, don't fall for Lan Xihe's trick."
Swoosh!
A figure shot out of the Megrez Pagoda and into the buildings.
Lu Zhou struck with his palm.
The golden palm seal struck the Daoist veins … It only produced a faint halo before it vanished.
