Lu Zhou ordered.
With a whooshing sound, Gou 'zi's four hooves kicked out and he pounced over without making a sound.
He landed in front of everyone, baring his teeth and glaring at them.
Mingshi Yin stood on Qiong Qi's back as he looked at the others with a smile on his face. The Separation Hook spun around him as it gleamed coldly.
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi's cultivation bases were, in fact, above Mingshi Yin. Naturally, they could escape, but they could not afford the price of doing so. Before this, they still had the support of the Qin Emperor. Now, who would support them?
Just like that, the Qin Emperor ran away in front of everyone.
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi dropped their hands and kneeled down.
Obediently surrender without a fight.
"That's more like it," Mingshi Yin said with a smile.
Lu Zhou said, "Just detain these two. The rest of you, scram."
The imperial court experts were dumbfounded when they heard this. They didn't know whether they should leave or not. It was said that the great cultivators had strange tempers. Would they stab them in the back when they left?
"My master is showing mercy. What are you all standing there for? Get lost now! "Little Yuan 'er said fiercely.
Apart from Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi, everyone else dispersed.
These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were very troublesome to keep, and they were not useful as hostages. Even Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi might not be of any use.
Lu Zhou landed and looked at the two of them.
"Emperor Qin's 22 fate matrixes, is that what he gave you confidence?"
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi repeatedly waved their hands and said, "Ruler, ruler, subject, if the ruler wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die!"
"You're the elites of the Jin Nation. The Qin Emperor destroyed the Jin Nation. You should have a grudge against him." Lu Zhou did not understand why they would join the Daqin Empire.
"A fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in. If the old mister is willing to take us two brothers in, we will not hesitate to pledge our lives to follow the old mister," Zhi Wen Ziwei said.
"You've misunderstood me. You're not fit to join the Evil Sky Pavilion." Lu Zhou cut them off.
"…"
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi felt even more uncomfortable.
They were like fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.
Lu Zhou studied the two of them. He found their complexions unsightly. He asked, "Has the Qin Emperor been to the Pillar of Revelation? Answer me honestly. "
Zhi Wenzi didn't have time to think too much about it now. She replied honestly, "Yes. He went to the Pillar of Apocalypse of the Dark Time and obtained the soil of the Great Void there. "
"What else?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Large amounts of Mysterious Life Grass, Mysterious Micro Stone, Fire Lotus, Snow Lotus? Blood ginseng? Heavenly Soul Grass … Dark Illusion Stone, Void Soil … "Zhi Wenzi began to list.
And many other less important things? Zhi Wenzi also told them one by one.
Zhao Yu understood? "Are you saying that he has Snow Lotus, Fire Lotus, and Blood Ginseng?"
Zhi Wenzi could understand Zhao Yu's anger. Turning around, he kowtowed to Zhao Yu and said, "Your Majesty … Your Majesty doesn't let this official go around talking nonsense! Young Master Zhao, please calm down! "
Zhao Yu angrily raised his leg. He kicked Zhi Wenzi's shoulder hard. Zhi Wenzi was so frightened that she rolled backwards and said, "He's just going to watch my mother's illness worsen? Does he really have the heart to watch his son enter an unknown place? "
Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Was this the actions of the Qin Emperor? It was even more infuriating than cannibalism.
Zhi Wenzi did not dare to speak.
He could not understand why the Qin Emperor would do this as well. All he could do was endure Young Master Zhao's wrath. He looked extremely aggrieved.
"Why are you aggrieved? Where's your confidence and arrogance from before?" Mingshi Yin asked angrily.
Lu Zhou asked again, "Since the Qin Emperor is a Perfected One, why didn't he get rid of the other four Perfected Ones and truly unify the Qin Empire? He's quite ambitious."
"The Great Void's balancer restrained him … Before this? The Qin Emperor had been suppressing his cultivation base with the palace's ancient secret method and maintained it at the peak of 17 Birth Charts. After the imbalance appeared? The Qin Emperor no longer had any reservations. However, I didn't expect something to happen to Perfected Tuoba and Perfected Ye, "Zhi Wenzi said.
"What's that white jade in his hand?" Lu Zhou asked.
"It's called the White Dragon Jade? It's a confluent Saint artifact, "Zhi Wenzi said as he stole a glance at Lu Zhou. "I don't know the details."
Lu Zhou said, "Apart from that? What else does he have? "
Zhi Wenzi said,
"There's an ancient Formation in the palace? If there's no need, I suggest … suggest … "
"Suggest my a * s. Who cares about the Formation? It's all paper before my master. Who are you trying to scare? Stop using your frog eyes to look at the mouth of the well and give me random suggestions! "Mingshi Yin said.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion shook their heads speechlessly.
Ever since they arrived at the Green Lotus, they could clearly sense that Mingshi Yin had become irritable.
He could not stand everything here. He was an old, angry man.
Considering his relationship with the Meng Mansion and his background, they did not pay much attention to him. Moreover, these people were indeed asking for it.
Zhi Wenzi said, "Yes, yes, yes.
Please forgive me, old mister! "
Lu Zhou continued to ask, "What other elites are there in the palace?"
"Apart from us two brothers, the Four Great Imperial Guards and Chief Eunuch Gao Cheng are all free men. However, that's not important. They're not worth mentioning to you, old mister, "Zhi Wenzi said.
Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged.
However, he was thinking, 'There are so many elites here … How am I going to deal with them?
I can't be too hasty. I'll have to think about this carefully. '
The Qin Emperor had already poked the hornet's nest. If he did not solve this problem, the golden lotus domain would be in danger.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Since you've performed well, I'll spare your lives for now."
Zhi Wenzi was overjoyed.
He said, "Old mister, why don't you take us in? We promise to serve the Evil Sky Pavilion with all our might and loyalty! "
Lu Zhou said, "Even if the Qin Emperor kneels and begs me now, he might not be able to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, let alone you. You betrayed the Jin Nation and the Qin Emperor. How can you be loyal? "
Zhi Wenzi was speechless.
They were mere servants. It had been proven that they had questionable character and loyalty. Who would dare to use them?
He could not figure out why a person like the Qin Emperor would keep these two people by his side.
"Hah … Tui!"
"…"
"Take them away," Lu Zhou ordered.
"Wait!"
Zhi Wenzi raised her hand.
Lu Zhou felt that Zhi Wenzi was hiding something. Hence, he said, "Speak."
Zhi Wenzi gulped and said, "I'd like to negotiate something for you, old mister … Don't attack me. I know I'm not qualified to negotiate. I only want to live. Even if you kill me, you won't get anything out of it, right? "
Mingshi Yin was about to curse at Zhi Wenzi. How could there be such a shameless person?
Lu Zhou raised a hand and stopped him. He said, "I'll give you a chance. If you can't tell me anything valuable, you won't be able to escape death even if you do."
Zhi Wenzi looked to his left and right before he looked at Mingshi Yin and said, "Tell him to leave!"
"…"
'He's really going all out.'
"Stand down," Lu Zhou said.
"Alright! Yes, master. If you need me, just let me know. I'll come right away! "Mingshi Yin retreated to the others.
Zhi Wenzi deliberately suppressed his aura and projected his voice, "I remember when I entered the palace to meet His Majesty, he was bathing and changing his clothes … At that time, I smelled … the scent of the Meng Mansion."
'The scent of the Meng Mansion?'
Lu Zhou was puzzled. He gave Zhi Wenzi a look that told him to continue.
Zhi Wenzi said, "I'll never forget that smell. It was the smell of blood and slaughter. Alas, the smell only lasted for a few breaths before it disappeared. "
"You're saying that the Qin Emperor killed everyone in the Meng Mansion?"
Based on the way the Qin Emperor was bathing and changing his clothes, it was highly likely that he was bathing and cleaning up the bloodstains.
Zhi Wenzi shook her head.
"I thought so too at first, but then His Majesty summoned me directly. I didn't notice anything unusual when I went in. "
Lu Zhou asked, "What's so special about your sense of smell?"
When Zhi Wenzi talked about his forte, he could not help but feel confident. He said, "I have 14 Birth Charts, and seven of them are related to the sense of smell."
"Isn't that a waste of power?"
"One power, and six of them!" Zhi Wenzi said.
If it were some other outstanding ability, Lu Zhou might have been tempted to poach it for his own use. He could forget about the sense of smell. After all, he had the power of smell. It was more worthwhile than sacrificing multiple positions to obtain a powerful ability.
"My big brother once saw Bi An at the lotus pond on South Mountain. Bi An's sense of smell is unparalleled, but it's still not as good as my big brother," Zhi Wuzi said.
Lu Zhou naturally knew about Bi An's ability.
Bi An's sense of smell was, at best, outstanding. If they were to compare, Bi An's defense was stronger, and its sense of smell was only a supplement. It was of little help to Lu Zhou, so it stayed on Golden Court Mountain.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "The Qin Emperor is not stupid. He won't expose himself in front of you. If what you said is true, then he is most likely the culprit behind the destruction of the Meng Mansion."
Zhi Wenzi was stunned.
This logic made sense, but it also did not.
It made sense because he could not figure out the Qin Emperor's mind. He often did crazy things, such as removing the shoulders of his brothers. Zou Ping was his weapon, but in the eyes of cultivators, a limited weapon did not mean much.
It did not make sense because it was easy for the Qin Emperor to destroy the Meng Mansion. He had already labeled Meng Mingshi as a traitor, and the execution of his entire family was just a matter of convenience. Why would he do it himself?
Zhi Wenzi said, "I'm only telling you what I know. I can't judge anything else."
After saying that, both of them fell to their knees.
Lu Zhou waved his arm and said, "Take care."
Zhi Wenzi was overjoyed. He grabbed Zhi Wuzi and flew out with him.
Lu Zhou turned to look at Mingshi Yin. Without saying anything, he turned and entered his room.
…
In the evening.
Lu Zhou took out the two Birth Chart Hearts he obtained from the Qin Emperor. It was not easy to identify them, so he asked Kong Wen to identify their origins.
The one brimming with energy and aura was the Great Fate Heart from He Luoyu. The other one was the Beast King level, Zhu Huai Fate Heart. The Qin Emperor had 22 Birth Charts, and the Fate Demotion Card had helped him obtain the 22nd and 21st Birth Charts. He was lucky. The 22nd was a Beast Emperor Birth Chart Heart. Usually, the Fate Providence Hearts that were about to pass the Life Gate were very powerful and of high quality. The Fate Providence Hearts that had already passed the Life Gate were slightly inferior.
For example, the Life Providence Heart used to activate the sixth Life Providence was better than the seventh.
The Great Qin Emperor had passed the three fate trials, so the best fate heart should be the eighteenth.
However … the Beast Emperor and Beast King were already very good.
With his remaining heavenly power, Lu Zhou swiftly increased the power of the Life Suppressing Pillar by a hundredfold.
Any higher and it wouldn't be of much benefit to cultivation.
After all, this was controlling the speed of circulation, not the actual time.
Without any hesitation, he took out his Fate Palace and placed Zhu Huai's Fate Heart into it.
Zhu Huai's Birth Matrix Heart floated above the Life Palace for a while before it descended and embedded itself into the Life Palace, entering the state of activating the 14th Birth Matrix.
Fortunately, he had just passed the Fate Gate not long ago, so the pain brought by the Fate Palace was very limited.
All that remained was a matter of time.
Even if it was originally half a year, it would only take two days to complete the activation speed of a hundredfold.
Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to the activation of his Birth Chart.
Instead, he summoned his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
The blue avatar was currently at the Five-leaf stage.
After activating the 14th Birth Matrix, Lu Zhou would gain another 3,000 years of life. His total life would be more than 16,000 years.
"It's not worth sacrificing my life for the blue avatar. I might as well use it to increase the flow of the Life Suppressing Pillar.
Lu Zhou did not plan to use his own life to increase the blue avatar's grade.
"Lightning?"
Lan Xihe's lightning was completed with the foundation of the white tower's 30,000 Daoist veins. He used the sun, moon, and stars as the foundation and used his body as a guide.
"It's not a bad idea to use the method of passing the Life Gate to improve my blue avatar."
The Lightning Tribulation could help him pass the Life Gate and improve his blue avatar. He would try it again after he passed the Life Gate.
He was four Birth Charts away from the third Life Gate. He could not rush it.
At noon the next day, Lu Zhou heard a crisp sound.
Crack!
Zhu Huai's Birth Matrix Heart was embedded in the Life Palace, forming a distinct area. This time exceeded Lu Zhou's expectations.
"Looks like it's more difficult than I imagined."
The flow of time was a hundredfold. In other words, he had spent 100 mornings and nights. That was close to two months. Moreover, this was only the effect.
The realms of each Birth Chart were divided into the early, middle, and late stages. Usually, it was not suitable to continue after the early stage of the Birth Chart. The instability of the realms would bring greater uncertainty and pain. Hence, the best time to activate one's Birth Chart was in the late stage.
To be precise, Lu Zhou was still in the middle stage of the Thirteen Birth Charts.
With the help of the Life Suppression Pillar and the Heavenly Soul Pearl, he was able to pass the second Life Gate and forge a more powerful Life Palace. It was safe for him to choose the middle stage.
The Life Palace formed a funnel, and he entered the second stage.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
…
Meanwhile.
Inside the palace.
Splash!
The Qin emperor sat in the medicinal tub and stirred up some hot water. He said angrily, "Take more Mystic Life Herbs!"
"Your … Your Majesty … the ten Mystic Life Herbs are all in there," Gao Cheng said with a worried expression.
The Qin emperor was puzzled.
He had spent two days, and there were no signs of the Birth Chart Heart recovering.
"Why isn't it working, then? Are the Mystic Life Herbs fake? "the Qin emperor asked.
"These are real Mystic Life Herbs. Please calm down, Your Majesty," Gao Cheng said. "There's no hurry to restore the Birth Chart."
The Qin emperor said, "I wanted to test his strength. I didn't expect …"
"This person is from the golden lotus domain. His cultivation base is unfathomable. We'll just avoid him. If you want to vent your anger, Your Majesty, I'll send someone to kill a few of his disciples to vent your anger, Your Majesty, "Gao Cheng said.
The Qin emperor glanced at him and said, "Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi aren't back yet?"
"I'm afraid they won't be able to return," Gao Cheng said.
"Send Bai Yi to the Zhao Mansion … I don't care what method he uses, but bring me the head of any one of them," the Qin emperor said.
"Understood."
The next night.
In the far east of Xianyang City, Bai Yi received the order. He flew on his flying sword and transformed into a white streak as he flew toward the Zhao Mansion.
