All the Autumn Dew Mountain disciples who charged into the arena were sent flying by Lu Zhou's peerless blast of air.
His precise control caused everyone's blood to surge and their arms to go numb. This was to give Chen Fu face and not to kill him.
Even so, Lu Zhou's move was enough to strike fear into the hearts of everyone on Autumn Water Mountain.
Lu Zhou looked at the disciples who were wailing in pain on the ground. He stood with his hands on his back and said, "As Chen Fu's disciple, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world for launching a sneak attack?"
"He's a Devil!" Zhang Xiaoruo pressed a hand on her chest and pointed at Duanmu Sheng.
"Shut up!!!"
Chen Fu abruptly stood up.
Chen Fu, who was not in a good mood, was already boiling with rage.
When he stood up, everyone in Autumn Water Mountain quivered. Even though Chen Fu looked haggard and weak, his sacred status and authority in everyone's hearts had never weakened.
Chen Fu's expression was imposing as he glared at Zhang Xiaoruo. He pointed at him and said, "Evil disciple, what do you want?"
"Ma-master?"
Zhang Xiaoruo felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He didn't understand why his master would speak up for outsiders.
These people were here to challenge the dojo. Were they going to let them do whatever they wanted?
He looked at his master in confusion. Then, he looked at the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion. The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt.
Master was a Great Sage after all. Why would he be afraid of these people?
Chen Fu said, "How did I teach such a wicked disciple?!"
"Master, I … What did I do wrong?" Zhang Xiaoruo was confused.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion shook their heads.
Based on this alone, it was clear the difference between the disciples of Autumn Waters Mountain and the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion was huge. The disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion would never ask for a reason. If their masters were to question them, they would immediately admit to their crimes. Generally speaking, if it wasn't a mistake of principle, the disciples would admit it first. The elder is the most important.
Zhang Xiaoruo didn't even know what she did wrong. How could Chen Fu not be angry?
Chen Fu bellowed, "Kneel!!"
Chen Fu was like the final radiance of a setting sun. His aura stabilized a little, and his voice was extremely loud and clear.
Even if Zhang Xiaoruo's guts were as big as the sky, he did not dare to disobey his master's order in front of his fellow sect members and even all the disciples of Autumn Water Mountain, so he immediately knelt down.
Thump!
"They are honored guests invited by Master. Master allows you to exchange pointers with each other, but do not overdo it. What did you just do? "
Chen Fu asked sternly.
"This … this …"
Zhang Xiaoruo argued, "Disciple, disciple didn't do anything. Your disciple only wants to win back some dignity for Qiushui Mountain. Our friend from the Evil Sky Pavilion has a profound cultivation base. I have no choice but to give it my all. It was true that sparring was about stopping when the time was right, but swords and sabers had no eyes. No one could guarantee that they would be able to perfectly control themselves and not injure their opponent! Master, please forgive me! "
He leaned over.
Cough cough, cough cough cough … Chen Fu was so angry that he sat back down.
"Sinful disciple … unfilial sinful disciple!"
This quibble caused his Sage state of mind to be in a mess.
Over the years, he had never been as furious as he was today, even when his disciples were heavily injured or did something out of line. Zhang Xiaoruo's words deeply pierced his Sage state of mind.
"Master!" Zhang Xiaoruo climbed up the stairs with a look of incomparable concern.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said, "Alright."
His voice contained a faint surge of Yuan Qi energy that suppressed everyone present.
When he spoke, nobody dared to make a sound.
"Chen Fu, if you want to teach your disciples a lesson, I shouldn't interfere. However, your condition isn't looking too good. I'm afraid your disciples are waiting for a chance to rebel, right? "
Lu Zhou's words were directed at Chen Fu and the Qiushui Mountain disciples.
When the ten Qiushui Mountain disciples heard this, they fell to their knees in unison without a second thought.
All of them fell to their knees.
"I dare not!"
"The sun and moon can bear witness to my loyalty, master!"
They began to profess their loyalty.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Sky Pavilion disciples scratched their heads awkwardly. They felt like they had seen this before.
Chen Fu wanted to say something.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and said, "You're the host, and I'm only a guest. Logically speaking, the guest should do as the host wishes. However, your condition doesn't seem right. If you think it's appropriate, I'll deal with it for you. What do you think? "
Chen Fu was more than willing to do so.
After all, he had sensed Zhang Xiaoruo's killing intent earlier.
He had invited Lu Zhou here because he hoped that Lu Zhou would be able to rule the lands and maintain peace.
He did not care about anything else.
Since Zhang Xiaoruo had ambushed Lu Zhou's disciple, it was only natural that Lu Zhou was satisfied.
However, the Qiushui Mountain disciples were shocked. Was this not overshadowing the host? How could this be?
Chen Fu said, "That's good."
The Qiushui Mountain disciples. "…"
Lu Zhou looked at the Qiushui Mountain disciples. He could empathize with Chen Fu. Nobody understood Chen Fu's feelings better than him.
"Your master, the Great Sage Chen, and I can be considered to be acquainted with each other. I'm indebted to Sage Chen for trusting me and inviting me here as a guest. If there's a reason, I can be considered a friend of Qiushui Mountain as well, "Lu Zhou said sincerely.
Chen Fu said, "Naturally, the Evil Sky Pavilion is a friend of Qiushui Mountain."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Zhang Xiaoruo."
Zhang Xiaoruo was taken aback. She said, "S-senior?"
"When you sparred with my disciple, victory was in your grasp. As long as you fought steadily, you would've won. Alas, you're impatient and eager to win. You even wanted to kill him. Do you admit it? "Lu Zhou asked.
Zhang Xiaoruo defended himself. "Kill? Uh … Senior, don't slander me! Why would I want to kill him? Swords have no eyes in sparring, to begin with! "
Zhang Xiaoruo was still trying to argue.
Lu Zhou could only sigh and shake his head. He said, "I'll give you one last chance."
Zhang Xiaoruo was slightly taken aback.
He looked at his expressionless master, Chen Fu, and then at Lu Zhou.
Realization finally dawned on him.
This was not a sparring match. Zhang Xiaoruo was clearly his master's helper!
Zhang Xiaoruo said confidently, "I didn't!"
Lu Zhou sighed again. He looked at Chen Fu and said, "Sage Chen, this is your disciple. What are you going to do with him? "
If this were any other time, Chen Fu would have flown into a rage and taught Zhang Xiaoruo a lesson. Unfortunately, he was severely injured and his great limit was near. He might die soon.
He was not even afraid of death. Why would he care about this?
He could not forget his original intention.
He could not forget the bigger picture of the world.
Chen Fu said, "Old Brother Lu, we'll do as you say."
"…"
The Qiushui Mountain disciples were in an uproar.
Lu Zhou was putting his disciple's life in Lu Zhou's hands!
This …
This was enough to disappoint the Qiushui Mountain disciples!
At this moment, Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, "Very well!"
He looked at Zhang Xiaoruo and said, "I'll give you a small punishment on your master's behalf. I hope you'll turn over a new leaf in the future!"
Zhang Xiaoruo was growing more and more indignant.
"Wait." Chen Fu knew that Lu Zhou was giving him face.
"Are you going to shield him?" Lu Zhou asked.
Chen Fu shook his head and said, "Zhang Xiaoruo, I've already warned you when you colluded with the eastern capital's envoy. Now that you've committed a grave mistake, you're being punished for several crimes. I'll remove three of your Birth Charts as a warning to others. Do you accept your punishment?! "
"Three … Three Birth Charts?!"
The third disciple, Zhou Guang, the fourth disciple, Yun Tongxiao, and the disciples who were not Perfected Ones were shocked. They hastily fell to their knees.
"Master, although Old Fifth is in the wrong, it's not enough to remove three Birth Charts! Isn't this punishment too much?! "Zhou Guang said.
"That's right! Master, Old Fifth has just reached the Perfected Person realm. Although a Perfected Person can replace his Birth Chart in three days, where can he find a suitable Birth Chart Heart in such a short time? "Yun Tongxiao said with a smile.
"Please have mercy, master. Spare Fifth Senior Brother."
"Please have mercy, master!"
Chen Fu's expression was indifferent as he added, "Remove three Birth Charts, and you're not allowed to replace them in three days!"
"…"
"Master!" The others cried out.
