Zhu Honggong nodded and said, "The old man isn't unreasonable. Perhaps, he'll accept you into the Evil Sky Pavilion after we return and give you a position."
Lu Li smiled.
"Do you think I'm someone who covets small advantages? Instead of joining the Evil Sky Pavilion, I'd rather stay in Yellow Lotus and be a local tyrant. "
Zhu Honggong laughed.
"I think that's a good idea … I agree, and so does it." She pointed at the Dang Kang under the table.
Dang Kang whimpered a few times.
His days in Huanglian were luxurious and prosperous. He lived a life that was envied and hated by others. Even Dang Kang was a size bigger than when he first came. The fur on its body was faintly discernible, flickering with brilliance.
Dang Kang whimpered a few more times before lying down and sleeping soundly.
Zhu Honggong asked.
"Why must you go back?"
Lu Li said:
"I'm different from you. My Lu family is no longer the same as before. As long as I stay in the Black Tower, the Lu Clan will be safe … "
"Then, why did you fight so hard in the Endless Ocean?" Zhu Honggong asked.
"I was forced to do so. The internal strife in the Black Tower is too serious, and the neutral has no one to protect them. This kind of dangerous mission can only fall on my head. “
"How pitiful," Zhu Honggong said.
Lu Li threw him a look and said, "You'd better have some pity for yourself. The ancestors of the Lu Family are from a prestigious family. Regular cultivators can't afford to curry favor with them. Even the Black Tower is not qualified."
"…"
"I know you don't believe me. My Lu Family's ancestor was a mighty figure 30,000 years ago. The Evil Sky Pavilion can't compare to him."
He hastily picked up the Birth Chart Heart, turned around, and left.
If you have the guts, then boast in front of my master!
At this moment, Lu Zhou retracted his power.
By the looks of it, Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, should be entering the Eleven-leaf stage soon.
The yellow lotus world was relatively safe. However, with the appearance of the Birth Chart Beast and the lotus-severing cultivation method Zhu Honggong brought to the yellow lotus world, it was only a matter of time before the yellow lotus rose.
Yu Zhenghai, Mingshi Yin, Ci Yuan 'er, and Conch were the only ones who did not observe.
Yu Zhenghai had already entered the Thousand Worlds. It would not be long before he could attempt the Second Birth Chart. There was nothing to worry about. 'Let him be, Mingshi Yin. Nobody knows that he's in the Thousand Worlds now.
Little Yuan 'er and Conch were doing well as well. There was no need to worry.
"Perhaps, this is the charm of the Great Void Seed. It's no wonder the people of the world are fighting for it." Lu Zhou sighed.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Master, there's news from the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"Speak."
"There's a pillar of light at the peak of Cloud Mountain's snow mountain. It might be a runic passageway," Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou stood up and left the room with his hands on his back.
When he saw Si Wuya standing respectfully in the courtyard, he said, "Back to the red lotus domain."
It just so happened that he needed to go to the Sky Wheel Mountain Range to pass the Fate Test.
"Yes."
When Lu Qianshan learned that Lu Zhou was leaving, he saw him off.
He returned to the Red Lotus through the Rune Passage of the Great Circle Palace.
Meanwhile.
In the capital city, in the Palace of Eternal Peace, Mu Erte was pacing back and forth.
Shortly after, a eunuch walked in and said timidly, "Your Majesty, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Master has left the Lu Family. He's returned to the red lotus domain through our runic passageway."
Murtier stopped in his tracks and said with a solemn expression,
"Pass on my decree. Lu Qianshan will be appointed as the Lord Protector of the State. There will be no need for him to hand over any wealth or land."
"Yes."
The eunuch left respectfully.
Two other eunuchs carried a stretcher into the palace.
The person lying on the stretcher was none other than the greatest elite of the inner palace, Warrior Anse.
A sympathetic expression appeared on Mu Erte's face as he asked, "Anse, are you alright?"
Anse coughed a few times and said confidently, "I … I'm fine … Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll surely return to my peak."
"Your master has passed away a long time ago. Can the Dark Soul Sect help you?"
After losing his ten Birth Charts, it was almost impossible for him to recover. Even if he could, it would take a long time. Mu Erte did not hold out much hope for this. However, considering the Dark Soul Sect's backing, Mu Erte thought it was possible.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll surely return to my peak," Anse said.
"Good."
Mu Erte looked at Anse and said solemnly, "I promise you that I'll avenge you within two years."
When Anse heard this, he said gratefully, "Thank … thank you, Your Majesty."
"Take him away and let him rest."
"Understood."
When it was almost noon, Lu Zhou and Si Wuya appeared on the peak of the snow mountain.
Si Wuya did not know why Lu Zhou wanted to come here. He followed Lu Zhou silently.
Lu Zhou flew past the cold pool and looked around. He silently used his sniffing technique.
The vague scent of blood lingered in the air even though it was mostly masked by the snow.
It was the scent of Qin Mo Shang's subordinates whom Lu Zhou had killed. There were two other auras of Primal Qi. Lu Zhou could easily tell one of them belonged to Qin Mo Shang. The other aura was unfamiliar. It was vicious and sharp.
Lu Zhou continued forward until he was next to the runes tunnel.
Si Wuya saw the runes tunnel as well. He exclaimed in shock, "It's a runes tunnel. A black lotus?"
"A green lotus," Lu Zhou said.
Si Wuya. "…"
"Do you have a way to completely destroy the runes tunnel?" Lu Zhou asked.
"It's easy to recover after it's destroyed. The best way is to seal it so that the other party can't connect to the Primal Qi here. "Si Wuya stepped forward.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Once the tunnel was sealed, it would be equivalent to telling the other party that something had happened to the intruder.
The best way was to keep them alive and find the intruder.
Based on the conversation between Qin Mo Shang and his subordinates, they seemed to have some sort of rule. They would not simply come here.
Si Wuya nodded and said, "Master, are you planning to catch the rat before sealing the runes tunnel?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yes.
Let's go. "
The two of them flew down the mountain. Lu Zhou wrapped Si Wuya in his energy and easily crossed the peak of the snow mountain.
They did not linger on Cloud Mountain. Instead, they returned to the capital.
At dusk. Life Nurturing Hall.
Lu Zhou silently recited the sniffing technique.
He followed the scent of the peak of the snow mountain and extended his power out.
First, he did not find the same scent within 100 meters. It was impossible to find two identical leaves in the world. The same applied to scents. Moreover, humans' memories of scents were permanent.
Still, he did not find the same scent within 1,000 meters.
The results were the same within 10,000 meters.
He did not find the same scent even when he used the sniffing technique on the Imperial city.
The current limit of the sniffing technique was only tens of thousands of meters.
Lu Zhou retracted his power.
"Rat."
If he could not find the rat, he would not be able to pass the trial in peace.
…
On the peak of the snow mountain, north of Cloud Mountain.
The hunchbacked old man descended from the sky.
His nose twitched as he surveyed his surroundings. However, he could not find the target he was looking for.
He produced a jade plate from his pocket. When he circulated his Primal Qi, the jade plate glowed faintly.
The hunchbacked old man flew toward the cold pool with the jade plate in hand. The jade plate was extinguished.
"Green Cicada Jade …"
The jade plate could sense the direction of the Green Cicada Jade. Unfortunately, its aura was too weak.
The hunchbacked old man turned around. The jade plate's light flickered and disappeared.
He put the jade plate away and looked in the direction of the capital as he said, "Rats, I like to play cat and mouse."
He turned to look at the runes tunnel.
He thought to himself, 'This person took the Green Cicada Jade, but he didn't destroy the runes tunnel?'
Shortly after, the hunchbacked old man left the peak of the snow mountain.
In the air, the hunchbacked old man felt the jade plate vibrating faintly. He brought it out and let it hover before him. The jade plate glowed faintly.
"As expected, you couldn't resist it."
The Green Cicada Jade was a sacred item that contained rich vitality.
Who could resist not absorbing it?
