Lu Wu's ice and wind dissipated.
Lan Xihe's dharmakaya swept over from above. The astrolabe was magnified to an unfathomable extent, and it floated over like a bright moon.
Her hair was dozens of feet long, and the sun and moon symbols between her eyebrows reflected light. Her eyes were filled with killing intent …
Alas, Lu Wu had already disappeared.
Lu Zhou's silhouette flickered and hovered in the air where Lu Wu had left. He looked at the empty ground and the four footprints that looked like deep pits. No one knew what he was thinking.
The light between Lan Xihe's eyebrows gradually disappeared. The symbols receded, the Sun, Moon, and Stars Wheels flew back, and the Dharmakaya faded.
Not long after, her appearance gradually returned to normal.
"We all fell for Lu Wu's trap," Lan Xihe softly sighed.
"Is Lu Wu that intelligent?" Lu Zhou's expression was one of rage.
"It's a Beast Emperor."
Lu Zhou also realized that this question was rather foolish.
If Lu Wu could pronounce simple human syllables, how could its intelligence be low?
Cough.
Ning Wanqing spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up while clutching his chest.
"Tower Master." Then, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, "I'm sorry, Pavilion Master Lu. I didn't keep an eye on Duanmu Sheng."
Lu Zhou remained silent. He looked in the direction where Lu Wu had disappeared.
He used his last wisp of Supreme Mystery Power and the Heaven's Eye to locate Duanmu Sheng. Alas … all he could see was darkness. By the time he ran out of Taixuan Energy, he could no longer see where he was. Nothing could be seen.
Lan Xihe landed.
Turning his gaze to the unconscious blue-robed attendant, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and a white ray of light descended from the sky.
Lu Zhou did not make a move.
He had basically used up all of his Taixuan Power.
The blue-clothed female attendant woke up and immediately knelt on the ground to thank him.
Ning Wanqing looked troubled as he said, "This Beast King is too powerful … I am powerless against it."
Lan Xihe turned to look at Lu Zhou who was frowning slightly. He said, "Pavilion Master Lu, it's my fault for not being able to defeat Lu Wu. I deeply regret Duanmu Sheng's death. "
Ning Wanqing said,
"Pavilion Master Lu, please listen to me."
"Speak."
Both of them could feel the fire burning in Lu Zhou's heart. Ning Wanqing was blind, and he was especially sensitive. He could clearly sense the emotions that Lu Zhou was trying his best to suppress.
"Duanmu Sheng might not die," Ning Wanqing said.
Ning Wanqing's mind was constantly replaying the words Lu Wu had said before he left. Perhaps because he was a wild beast, his pronunciation was very indistinct, making him uncertain. However, Lu Wu did not seem like he wanted to harm Duanmu Sheng.
Even humans would make mistakes when learning different dialects, let alone Berserk Beasts. Therefore, Ning Wanqing thought that he had misheard.
"The Beast Monarch probably has other plans …"
Ning Wanqing endured the pain as he analyzed, "Pagoda Master, Pavilion Master Lu, if Lu Wu has such ability, why would he collude with the Black Emperor? It was understandable that the Black Emperor wanted to use the ferocious beasts to slaughter the Red Lotus and obtain its essence blood. Those vicious beasts are stupid and have been fooled by the Black Emperor. They are only active in the four paths, but this Beast Emperor will not be easily fooled. What is the Beast Emperor trying to do? "
Who would do something that was unprofitable?
Low-tier Direbeasts ate humans, but what about Beast Emperors?
"Now that I think about it, I feel like something's not right. The Black Emperor's plan was too smooth … The Black Emperor's plan was executed without a hitch. The only thing that changed was Duanmu Sheng. The Black Emperor wanted Lili to enter the city, but why did he only send an eight-destiny cultivator? Is it really a coincidence? "
His tone sank as he concluded, "I'm afraid … Beast Emperor Lu Wu is the biggest winner …"
Something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart. He looked at Ning Wanqing and said, "Are you saying that all of this is the Beast Emperor's scheme?"
Ning Wanqing said, "It is highly possible."
"What's its purpose?" Lu Zhou asked.
"The seed of the Great Void," Ning Wanqing said.
The sun and moon mark between Lan Xihe's eyebrows lit up for a moment before disappearing. A trace of surprise flashed in his calm eyes.
Ning Wanqing said,
"On Si Wuya's request, I came to Northsword Pass's Grand Origin Condensing Stellar Formation to protect Duanmu Sheng. This was a formation left behind from ancient times. A rune tunnel appeared in the Formation. The tunnel led to an unknown place. The Beast Emperor must have sensed Duanmu Sheng's presence through this Formation. That's why it wants to possess the seed of the Great Void so that it can become more powerful. "
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "That doesn't make sense.
If it knew that the seed of the Great Void is with Duanmu Sheng, it could've entered the Grand Origin Condensing Stellar Formation and devoured him. Why would it collude with the Black Emperor and go through so much trouble to come up with so many tricks? Why would it cause the humans and beasts to suffer great losses? "
"Uh …"
Ning Wanqing could not explain himself.
Indeed, this was a huge loophole that could not be filled. It was illogical.
Ning Wanqing gave it some thought and said, "Perhaps, I'm overthinking things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Wanqing's ears twitched. He said, "Someone's coming."
Lan Xihe and Lu Zhou turned around and looked in the direction of Northsword Pass. At this moment, Northsword Pass was already a sea of skeletons. Above the sea of skeletons, dozens of black lotus cultivators were flying toward them.
In no time at all, the row of cultivators arrived above Northsword Pass and hovered in the air.
"Pavilion Master Lu, Tower Master Lan … Long time no see."
Their voices were loud and confident.
Ning Wanqing took a step forward and said, "Master of the Black Tower, Xia Zhengrong?"
Xia Zhengrong was still wearing his armor. He glanced down at the messy ground and said, "It seems like I missed a good show. However, it's not too late to come now. "
Lan Xihe said,
"You're late. The Black Emperor is dead, and the beasts have dispersed. "
Xia Zhengrong said, "Good! Many thanks to the two of you for helping me get rid of this great trouble. "
Upon hearing this, Lan Xihe and Lu Zhou exchanged a glance.
With the death of the Black Emperor Murtie, the Great Yuan Palace was no longer a threat; Fan Ruozhi of the Dark Glory Alliance was also dead … The only one who could stand in the Black Lotus was Xia Zhengrong.
"Is this why you're here?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
Xia Zhengrong said,
"How can I sit back and watch such a big thing happen? I came out to try my luck. I might be able to obtain some good Life Providence Hearts. "
Lu Zhou said.
"This old man warned Lu Si to go back and behave himself. Don't tell me … you've turned a deaf ear to my words? "
Xia Zhengrong shook his head.
"How could I possibly dare to go against Pavilion Master Lu's will? This matter is simply too grave. To tell you the truth, we have chased away quite a few beasts from the Jiannan Path. Many people died tragically, and corpses were strewn all over the field. Even if I go against Pavilion Master Lu's will, I can't just watch them die, right? "
"Jiannan Dao?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
Xia Zhengrong nodded and said, "That's right. If Pavilion Master Lu doesn't believe me, you can go to Jiannan Path to find out. The ferocious beasts there have already been quelled by my Black Tower. "
Lu Zhou no longer had his Profound Power. He could not assess Yu Shangrong's condition.
She didn't know if he was telling the truth or not.
Seeing that the two were silent, Xia Zhengrong said, "I heard that Jiangbei is a disaster area. I'll bring my brothers there to take a look. See you later. "
The elders of the Black Tower and the Black Insignia Guards cupped their hands in greeting.
"Wait," Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.
"Pavilion Master Lu, what can I do for you?"
In fact, Xia Zhengrong had always been worried about the black tower's collective demotion. However, he did not have the ability to make an enemy out of the Evil Sky Pavilion. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Although he sensed that the auras of the two men before him were weak, he was still cautious in his actions.
"The crisis in Jiangbei has been resolved," Lu Zhou said.
When Xia Zhengrong heard this, an expression of shock appeared on his face. He said, "I'm impressed by your remarkable abilities, Pavilion Master Lu. In that case, we'll return. "
Lan Xihe projected his voice at Lu Zhou, "Pavilion Master Lu, why don't you ask them to leave? This man has the ambition of a wolf. We should be careful not to act out of desperation. "
Even a rabbit would bite when it was cornered.
"You can't leave."
A deep voice rang from the distance.
The others turned to look and saw several black-robed cultivators flying toward them.
