The winged man's subordinate bowed and said, "I don't know why either."
The matter of Lu Zhou entering Big Abyss with the White Emperor's jade medallion was not a small matter. Many of the Winged Clansmen knew about it. They did not dare to delay and immediately reported the message.
Elder Mingde turned to look at Lu Zhou. His expression softened as he said, "Since it's a message from the White Emperor, I won't force it. Please. "
He stepped aside to make way for her.
Lu Zhou let go of Little Yuan 'er and Conch's hands and walked forward with his hands on his back.
When he was before Elder Mingde, he stopped and looked at him from the corner of his eyes before he said, "Although a state of mind is a necessary step to become a Dao Saint, I'll give you a piece of advice."
Elder Mingde smiled and said, "What is it?"
"Supremes … are human as well."
After saying this, he left with his hands on his back.
Little Yuan 'er and Conch followed closely behind him.
Elder Mingde's eyes gleamed as he watched the three of them leave.
"Hong Jian," Elder Mingde said indifferently.
"What are your orders, Elder?" Hong Jian asked.
"Go and see our esteemed guests off. Remember, do it well." Elder Mingde's voice was gentle, and there was a faint smile on his face.
"Understood."
Hong Jian turned around and summoned five winged men before they left in unison.
…
The interior of Big Abyss's Heaven Opening was complicated. It was easy to get lost without a guide.
When they reached an intersection, Hong Jian led the five winged men toward them. He said with a smile, "I've come to see you off."
Lu Zhou glanced at him and asked, "Do you often bring humans into the Heaven Opening trials?"
Hong Jian replied with a smile, "Occasionally. What would happen if I did this every day? "
"Why do you guard Big Abyss?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Hong Jian said, "In the ancient times, the earth cracked, and countless lives were lost. Big Abyss's the safest place. Moreover, this is the only place in the unknown lands with sunlight. "
They left Heaven Opening as they walked.
The moment they walked out of the Heaven Awaken Gate, Lu Zhou, Little Yuan 'er, and Conch saw the round, open-air sky again. The sun's rays shone down on them. The blinding light always made them uncomfortable for a moment. However, after they got used to it, they felt much better when they saw the fairyland scenery around them.
Little Yuan 'er marveled, "It'd be great if all the unknown lands were here."
Hung-chien laughed and said, "That's impossible."
"Why?"
"If the sky falls, no one will be able to withstand it," Hung-chien said.
Little Yuan 'er looked at her master and found that her master was looking at her as well.' Ugh … I better shut up. '
Lu Zhou said, "The earth can crack, and the sky can collapse. If that day comes, where will the Harpies go?"
"That's simple. Even if the sky collapses, the sun will definitely reappear in the world. When that happens, the Feather Race will go to any place in Ninelotus, build a city, and start all over again," Hong Jian said.
"The imbalance hasn't ended yet. What's the point of going to Ninelotus?"
"It's better than being crushed to death," Hung-chien said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou chuckled. His voice was deep, but his expression was unusually calm. He said, "What a good plan."
Hung-chien said, "Likewise. Compared to the White Emperor, we can be considered to have done our duty. The humans accused the Harpies of being superior and belittling the other races. But we Harpies are the ones who are keeping the world afloat. Everything that the Harpies have today can be considered a gift from time itself. "
Lu Zhou no longer argued with him.
With different standpoints, the way they thought about problems was naturally different as well.
He did not think that keeping the world afloat was a good thing.
The environment in the unknown lands was harsh. What could they do even if the sky collapsed?
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to Big Abyss.
When one looked down at the world from above Big Abyss, everything seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of black mist. The world around them was shrouded in darkness.
At this moment, Hong Jian glanced at Little Yuan 'er and said, "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"No." Little Yuan 'er stepped forward and hugged her master's arm as she said, "Master, let's go."
Hong Jian. "…"
Although he suffered a setback, Hong Jian did not mind. He said bluntly, "This little girl has obtained Big Abyss's acknowledgement. She'll surely become a target for others. The Harpies can nurture her and protect her. Once we leave Big Abyss, the factions that are secretly watching Big Abyss will bare their fangs. To them, since they can't be used by us, destruction is the best solution. "
The five Feather Men behind him stared at Lu Zhou, Little Yuan 'er, and Conch.
Their eyes were the same. It was impossible to tell if they were happy or angry.
Hong Jian was the only one with a smile on his face.
After a moment of silence, Lu Zhou asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not!" Hong Jian hastily bowed. "I'm only reminding you that the Harpies respect and cherish talents, but they wouldn't do such a thing. Moreover, this is Big Abyss. Who would dare to make a move against the White Emperor's people? I've said what I need to say. Everyone, please. "
He made an inviting gesture.
Lu Zhou ignored him and said, "Let's go."
He pushed away from the ground and flew out of Big Abyss. It was as though he had jumped off a cliff as he dove toward the dark land.
He felt slightly uncomfortable going from light to darkness.
However, he knew he had to leave as soon as possible.
Danger lurked everywhere in Big Abyss.
Lu Zhou could clearly sense various powerful forces lurking in Big Abyss.
He did not want to use the Peak Form Card at this moment. He wanted to leave if he could.
The three of them descended for a moment before they saw the huge three-headed giant glaring at the sky.
Countless three-headed giants stood on the ground. Each of them held a shining spear in their hands.
The tips of the spears glowed with a faint red light.
The three-headed giant's mouth emitted a croaking sound.
Countless Three-headed People raised the spears in their hands.
"Master." Little Yuan 'er was slightly worried.
"There's no need to worry. Stay close to me."
Lu Zhou did not think much of these three-headed men.
The three-headed men grew more and more anxious as they waited for their leader's orders.
They watched as Lu Zhou slowly descended. When he reached a certain height, the three-headed giant waved its arm with a ferocious expression on its face.
An imposing voice rang from the horizon. "Don't be rude."
The four words were forceful and forceful. Like a clap of thunder from the nine heavens, it extinguished everyone's anger and restlessness.
The three-headed men lowered their heads.
They lowered their spears.
Lu Zhou and the others turned to look at the horizon.
They saw Hung-chien unfurl a pair of white wings. Specks of starlight flickered on those wings, dispelling the darkness below.
This was … the Saint's Light.
It was an extremely powerful Saint's Light.
Lu Zhou and the others shot into the distance and vanished into the night.
Hong Jian retracted his wings and raised his right hand. Five Feathered Men followed him.
Hong Jian said indifferently, "Send a message to the White Emperor. Our esteemed guests have returned."
"Understood."
"The rest of you, follow me."
The remaining four Feathered Men vanished with Hong Jian.
…
Lu Zhou returned to the peak of the mountain.
Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the area. It was empty.
Little Yuan 'er asked worriedly, "Where are they?"
Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Don't worry. They have the jade talismans. It's highly likely that they've returned to Dun Xing and Tian Qi."
Little Yuan 'er looked at her surroundings and nodded. "There are no signs of a battle. This means they've safely retreated."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Conch pointed at the horizon and said, "Up in the sky."
Lu Zhou looked up and saw an unimaginably huge beast circling Tian Qi above Big Abyss Peak.
The huge beast appeared in the sky in a manner that defied common sense.
"Let's go!"
Lu Zhou unleashed the Greater Teleportation Technique and brought the two of them away.
After flying for an unknown period of time, they finally landed on the mountain peak when they could no longer see the huge beast.
Lu Zhou produced a talisman and lit it.
An image appeared.
Lu Li and the others bowed and said, "Pavilion Master, we've retreated 1,500 miles. A Holy Beast has appeared above Big Abyss Peak. Its perception is extremely powerful. "
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Mhm, you've done well."
"Pavilion Master, where are you now?" Lu Li asked.
"I've left Big Abyss Peak."
"In that case, we'll wait for you here, Pavilion Master." Lu Li produced a talisman and slapped it on the ground.
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve, and the image disappeared.
1,500 miles was not far. They would arrive in no time.
As long as they did not encounter any powerful beasts, it would not take long.
"Let's continue our journey."
"Mhm."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three of them shot through the air and passed through the densest mountain range.
The foggy space was blurry.
In the mountain range, vines were swinging up from below.
Lu Zhou frowned. "Follow closely."
He extended his arm and extended his fingers like a mountain. A cone-shaped energy seal formed and enveloped the three of them. Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! They pushed the vines away and arrived at the horizon.
"That's strange. We didn't see these when we came!" Little Yuan 'er looked at the vines in disbelief.
Conch said, "Perhaps, it's a matter of time. This is the nature of some plants."
"Little Junior Sister, you know the language of plants?"
Conch shook her head, indicating that she did not understand.
At this moment, a larger vine appeared before them and lashed at them.
Swoosh!
There was a gust of wind!
Lu Zhou struck again. The cone-shaped energy seal carried the three of them higher into the air.
The vegetation in Big Abyss Peak far exceeded their expectations.
When they were high enough, they looked down at the ancient trees and vines.
They continued flying.
Fifteen minutes later.
A deep voice rang from the mist ahead.
"Esteemed guests, where are you going?" The voice came from the distance. The figure could not be seen.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and motioned for Little Yuan 'er and Conch to stop.
He asked in a deep voice, "Who's there?"
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Soon after, white figures appeared before them.
Lu Zhou, Little Yuan 'er, and Little Yuan' er saw the figures through the layers of mist.
"Hong Jian?" Little Yuan 'er asked.
Hong Jian smiled at the three of them and said, "I've given it some thought. The rules of Big Abyss Peak can't be broken. That's why … this little girl wants to return with me. "
Lu Zhou said, "Why didn't you make a move during Big Abyss Peak's Heaven Opening Ceremony?"
"The Big Abyss Peak's Heaven Opening Ceremony has recorded the images of you being acknowledged and leaving. We've also informed the White Emperor," Hong Jian said.
The meaning behind his words was very clear.
They did not make a move during Big Abyss Peak because they wanted to stop the White Emperor.
Outside of Big Abyss Peak's Heaven Opening Ceremony, nobody would know who did it.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Hong Jian was slightly surprised. "You're not surprised?"
"Why should I be?" Lu Zhou said calmly, "I've expected this."
