Lu Si took two steps back respectfully. He rose to his feet and waved at the members of the Black Tower. The members of the Black Tower retreated in unison. Lu Si looked at the fading crimson water and shook his head slightly. He sighed softly and bowed again before he left. The people of the Black Tower followed closely behind, flying in another direction.
After making sure Lu Zhou was gone, Lu Si raised a hand and said, "Stop."
"Elder Lu, are we really going to leave just like that?"
"There are bound to be high-rank beasts and beast kings in the beast tide … The Nether Wolf King has been killed by Pavilion Master Lu. We can only give up. There's no need for us to return to the Black Tower. Let's go to Jiannan Path. It's low-lying there. If we're lucky, we might encounter some high-rank beasts, "Lu Si said.
"What if we encounter the people from the royal court?"
"Let's avoid them for now."
The Black Tower cultivators nodded.
Based on the current situation, the safest option for the Black Tower was to stay out of the Great Circle Plan and reap the benefits. The fiercer the battle, the more advantageous it would be for the Black Tower.
The Black Tower flew toward Jiannan Path. They were like a huge black dragon in the sky as they vanished in just a blink of an eye.
…
Near the Endless Coast.
Lu Li was still in a daze. He thought to himself, 'Based on his earlier performance, Old Eighth's master should only have six or seven Birth Charts. His strength should be close to that of an Adjudicator. Why are Lu Si and the members of the Black Tower so respectful and fearful? This doesn't make sense! '
He bowed and asked, "What does the Black Tower mean by lowering its status collectively?"
Lu Zhou turned to look at him and said, "It means what it says."
"…"
The three cultivators who were watching the battle approached Lu Zhou.
They bowed at Lu Zhou.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Pavilion Master Lu. Please accept our bow." The three of them kneeled.
Lu Li. "…"
'Isn't this a little too much? Why does everyone have to humble themselves when they see me?'
Lu Zhou said, "Stand up.
"You may rise."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Lu."
The three of them rose to their feet and looked at Pavilion Master Lu with reverence in their eyes.
"Fortunately, Pavilion Master Lu appeared in time and killed the Nether Wolf King. Otherwise, the cities near the Sky Wheel Mountain Range would've suffered. How fortunate! "the man said.
Lu Li and Zhu Honggong had just come back. They might not have a clue.
Lu Zhou remembered the scavengers he encountered when he first entered the canyon half a year ago. He asked, "Why did the Nether Wolf King appear in the Sky Wheel Mountain Range?"
"Someone might be controlling it, or it might be an order from an intelligent Ferocious Beast. We're just nobodies, how would we know what's behind this? "
What he said made sense.
He would naturally find out if he went back and asked Si Wuya and the others.
Thus, he said, "It's very dangerous outside now. Everyone, disperse."
"Yes." The three respectfully turned around and flew away.
Lu Zhou turned to look at Zhu Honggong who was still sprawled on the ground and said, "Why aren't you getting up?"
"Master … master …" Zhu Honggong crawled to his feet with a fawning expression on his face.
Lu Zhou said, "You've just attained the Eleven-leaf stage. You should guard against arrogance and rashness."
"This disciple will obey Master's orders."
Lu Li was even more shocked now. "Aren't you surprised to see an Eleven-leaf cultivator, Pavilion Master?"
Before Lu Zhou could speak, Zhu Honggong prodded him and said, "Nonsense. My master is knowledgeable. What do you know?"
Lu Li: "…"
O (one-one-one +) o "
"Let's return to the pass," Lu Zhou said.
"Understood."
…
Half a day later.
The capital's Imperial city.
Along the way, beasts could be seen everywhere. It was as if there were ferocious beasts roaming everywhere except for human cities.
When they arrived in the Imperial city, many cultivators hastily went to welcome them.
Most of them had an impression of Lu Zhou as an old man. When they saw him, they recognized him immediately and welcomed him respectfully.
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Little Yuan 'er, Conch, and the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion hurried over.
However, when they saw their master's aged appearance, they were stunned.
"Master … Master, you … look at you." Little Yuan 'er pointed at her master's beard.
"Don't be rude," Yu Zhenghai said.
"Oh."
It was improper for them to point at their master.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were much more receptive than before.
Lu Zhou glanced at the others and asked, "Where's Old Seventh?"
"Seventh Junior Brother is in the Sky Martial Court." “
"Call him over. I want to see him."
"Understood."
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he made his way to the Life Nourishment Hall.
He did not bother to explain his appearance.
The Appearance Alteration Card would last for five days. There was no need for Lu Zhou to revoke it. Since his young appearance seemed to have some implications, he decided to go with the flow.
Zhu Honggong hastily stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother …"
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stepped forward and patted Zhu Honggong's shoulder. They nodded.
"One who survives a great calamity is bound to be blessed. I have a whole new level of respect for you when you jumped into the Endless Ocean. "Yu Zhenghai had been shocked ever since he learned about this from Si Wuya.
"It's nothing, nothing."
Yu Shangrong was not stingy with his praise. "One who truly experiences life and death is bound to gain something. I can see that your aura is steady and strong. I'm sure Eighth Junior Brother has had some fortuitous encounters. "
Zhu Honggong said confidently, "You flatter me, senior brother. I've made some progress in my cultivation base. If there's a chance, I'd like to spar with you, Second Senior Brother."
The others. "…"
'Is Old Eighth out of his mind?'
Yu Shangrong's expression became even more approving. "Old Eighth, you've changed a lot since you dared to challenge me. Regardless of the outcome, your courage alone is worthy of praise. "
'You're too kind.
I'll see who dares to look down on me after I defeat all of you! '
Zhu Honggong's expression did not change. He looked humble.
"Little Junior Sister …" Zhu Honggong continued to greet her.
Little Yuan 'er placed her hands on her hips and said, "Eighth Senior Brother, this is Little Junior Sister. Don't get it wrong."
"Uh …" Zhu Honggong looked at Conch.
Little Yuan 'er briefly told him about Conch. Zhu Honggong was shocked when he heard this. He said, "Master has a good eye!"
Conch bowed and said, "Greetings, Eighth Senior Brother."
Zhu Honggong cleared his throat and said solemnly, "You're excused." Yu Shangrong's eyes lit up when he heard Yu Shangrong's words.
After exchanging greetings.
Yan Zhenluo, Shen Xi, Xia Changqiu, and the others finally arrived.
Yan Zhenluo had sharp eyes. When he saw Lu Li, he was taken aback. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was Lu Li.
"Brother Lu!" Yan Zhenluo called out.
"Brother Yan?"
The two of them looked like they were lovers meeting.
Lu Li landed, and the two of them went to catch up.
First, they told each other about their situations. They laughed when they saw that Lu Li and Yan Zhenluo were fine.
Yan Zhenluo asked, "Where have you been all this time?"
"Alas, I was on a mission. I was injured and ended up in the yellow lotus. It's all thanks to Old Eighth's sacrifice that I survived. "He pointed at Zhu Honggong.
Lu Li was still able to tell right from wrong.
Yan Zhenluo nodded and said, "I would have gone to you if I didn't have the life stone. Since you left, many things have happened to the Black Tower. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have survived until now. "
"It's all in the past. Is the Black Tower the same as before? Right, I saw Fourth Patriarch Lu Si kneeling to Master Lu with my own eyes. What is going on? Also, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Black Tower? "Lu Li asked.
"It's a long story … I haven't asked you yet. How did you come back with Master Lu?" Yan Zhenluo asked.
Lu Li told them what had happened to him.
Yan Zhenluo clicked his tongue in wonder.
When Yan Zhenluo understood what had happened, he asked with a smile, "Do you know about the collective demotion of the Black Tower?"
"What do you mean by collective demotion?" Lu Li had a bad feeling.
"In order to save me, Pavilion Master Lu broke three thousand and six hundred runes by himself. Every member of the Black Tower here had one fate taken away by Pavilion Master Lu, and Pagoda Master Xia lost two fate! Lan Xihe, the Master of the White Tower, was there. This incident has spread across the cultivation world. People call it the 'collective demotion of the Black Tower', "Yan Zhenluo said.
Lu Li's eyes were as wide as a cow's, filled with shock.
He gulped and said in disbelief, "But he only has six Fate Seeds … How is that possible? When I first met him, he was only at the Ten-leaf stage! "
