Seeing that his master did not move.
Si Wuya stood still as he surveyed his surroundings. At the same time, he unleashed his cultivation base to sense the surroundings.
Lu Zhou chanted the power of hearing.
It covered thousands of meters of the Imperial City.
The actions of the palace maids, eunuchs, palace experts, and cultivators all entered his ears.
Creaking sounds could be heard coming from the rooftop three hundred meters behind the Hall of Cultivation. Not long after, they reached 200 meters —
"Mister Seventh, ah, Mister Seventh, Senior Ji isn't here, yet you're hiding a little man … What's your hobby?"
He recognized the owner by the sound.
Lu Zhou shouted, "Voice of the Living.
"Jiang Aijian."
The three words were like a clap of thunder that spread out from the back of the Life Nourishing Hall. All the buildings within two hundred meters of the hall were destroyed by the sound technique.
Jiang Aijian held a blade of grass in his mouth as he held Dragonsong in his arms.
The sound technique assaulted him like a tsunami, sweeping him up.
His eardrums were hurting, and his cheeks were hurting.
Boom!
Jiang Aijian reeled back and crashed on the ground.
"Holy sh * t … Senior Ji, y-you're too ruthless!" Jiang Aijian covered his ears. He felt terrible.
Lu Zhou projected his voice.
"The rune passageway between the gold and red has been opened. You've already returned to Penglai. The terrain there is very good, suitable for hunting Birth Chart Beasts. Shouldn't you reflect on your weak cultivation? "
"…"
Jiang Aijian nodded and said, "You're right, Senior Ji. I was just about to tell you about it."
Lu Zhou ignored Jiang Aijian and walked out of the Life Nourishment Hall.
After Lu Zhou left …
Jiang Aijian scratched his head and said, "I can hear her from so far away … I'd better look for Zhao Hongfu. Cherishing your life is the way of the king. "
Staying here with Red Lotus was indeed detrimental to his cultivation.
…
Shortly after, Lu Zhou and Si Wuya arrived at the Great Hall of Runes.
After they stepped into the runic passageway, Lu Zhou turned around and asked, "Old Seventh, what's your cultivation base now?"
A shameful expression appeared on Si Wuya's face as he said, "I've held you back. I'm looking for an opportunity to attain the Ten-leaf stage."
Lu Zhou nodded.
"It's really not easy for you to find time to cultivate under such a busy situation."
It was beneficial to have Si Wuya by Yu Shangrong's side while the title of Paragon of All Ages and Mentor was still around.
Si Wuya struck with his palm. The runic passageway lit up.
The pillar of light soared into the sky.
The two of them disappeared.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Lu Zhou and Si Wuya appeared outside the capital.
Si Wuya said, "Master, we're here. This was the capital city of the Great Yuan Dynasty. It was called the Great Capital City. Zhao Hongfu is very familiar with this place. I gave her the Judge's Pen, and her power doubled. Just by relying on his memory, he found the passage to the Rune Academy, sneaked over, and then entered the passage to carve his own rune. "
Lu Zhou looked at the capital and said, "Pay attention to her loyalty."
"Yes."
The importance of a runemaster was self-evident.
Once a Rune Master betrayed them, it would mean that all the Rune Passageways would become the passageways of others.
The two of them entered the capital.
Si Wuya said, "Two days ago, Shen Xi asked about Lu Qianshan. He used to be a capable minister and military general of the Great Yuan Dynasty. He had been out on expeditions all year round, beating the foreign tribes to the point that they were unable to fight back, and had made great achievements in battle. It was a pity that his achievements were too great. In order to weaken his military power, the Black Emperor transferred him back to the capital and demoted him. In less than 500 years, he became the Great General Lu that nobody cares about. "
Lu Zhou asked, "The Black Emperor didn't take his blue crystal?"
He did not care about anything else, but he had to find out the whereabouts of the blue crystal.
"Very few people know that the blue crystal is in his hands. Moreover, Lu Qianshan has made great achievements in battle. Even if he's no longer in power, the Black Emperor won't be able to do anything to him. Shen Xi said that Lu Qianshan had pledged his loyalty 500 years ago and donated all of his family's wealth to the Great Yuan Dynasty.
This reminded Lu Zhou of Zhang Liang from Earth's history. There were similarities between the two.
…
In the Lu Mansion in the capital city.
Si Wuya stepped forward and said, "My master wishes to see General Lu. Please inform him."
As he spoke, he stuffed a gold ingot into the guard's hand.
For a cultivator like Si Wuya, money was of no use.
The guard's eyes lit up as he said, "Please wait a moment."
Soon after, the guard brought the old butler over.
It had to be said that the Lu Mansion was not an ordinary mansion. Although it was in the capital city, it occupied an area of its own. The building was grand, and there were many steps. When building a mansion in the capital city, the steps were a symbol of status.
"Who wants to see Master?" the old butler asked with a big belly.
Si Wuya shook his head. It seemed like he would have to bribe the butler.
Unexpectedly, the old butler stood before the door and narrowed his eyes. His gaze swept past Si Wuya and fell on Lu Zhou.
His eyes lit up.
"He looks familiar."
The old butler knew how to cultivate. He was one of the top elites in the Lu Mansion.
He had followed Lu Qianshan for many years, and he was an extremely cautious person.
He found the young man familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen him.
"Butler, if they don't want to see him, I'll send them away."
The old butler waved his hand and dismissed the servant.
He hastily picked up the nameplate and walked down the steps. He stopped several meters away from Lu Zhou and said, "Familiar … Too familiar …"
"You know me?" Lu Zhou found the old butler's gaze strange as well.
The old butler scratched his ears and cheeks. To be cautious, he asked, "May I know your name, sir?"
"My surname is Lu," Lu Zhou replied.
'We share the same surname!'
The old butler's mind seemed to have turned into mush. He seemed to recall something as he said, "This way, please. I'll look for the old master at once. "
Under the old butler's lead, the two of them entered the Lu Mansion.
The corridor alone was several hundred meters long. It was comparable to the Imperial family's inner courtyard.
They entered the living room.
The old butler left hastily.
He walked briskly until he was outside Lu Qianshan's study.
After giving it some thought, he pushed the door open and entered.
There was no one in the study. Lu Qianshan was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Qianshan had said that the study was a restricted area. Unauthorized personnel were not allowed in.
The old butler gritted his teeth and walked behind the screen. He looked up at the portrait hanging on the wall.
The portrait was handsome and majestic. His hands were placed on his back as he stood on the peak of a mountain. He looked down at the vast lands. His aura was majestic, and he exuded the aura of a ruler.
"How … how's this possible?!" The old butler shuddered.
He slumped to the ground.
…
In the spacious and bright living room.
Si Wuya said thoughtfully, "Master, I suspect there's a trap here."
"A trap?"
"It's very difficult for someone of Lu Qianshan's status to meet others. I've thought of three ways to ensure that you'll be able to meet him. However … I only used one ingot of gold. That doesn't make sense, "Si Wuya said.
"There's no need to worry about it. My goal is to obtain the blue crystal," Lu Zhou said.
"You're right, master. No matter what kind of scheme it is, it won't work on you," Si Wuya said with a smile.
The two of them waited for a while, but the butler did not return.
