Night fell.
However, Lu Zhou was not in the mood to cultivate nor sleep.
It would be impossible for him not to be disgusted by a hundred years of boring cultivation.
Right now, he just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being a "human". He asked the servants to start the stove again, made a sumptuous dinner, prepared hot water, and washed up comfortably.
The four elders of Demonic Sky were so excited that they could not sleep the entire night.
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng followed Lu Zhou's orders and returned to their positions.
…
The next morning.
When the four Kong brothers learned of their pavilion master's return, they abandoned their tasks and hurried to the Evil Sky Pavilion through the runic passageway.
Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong were much more enthusiastic. They brought the four of them to the East Pavilion.
As soon as they entered the East Pavilion, the four of them knelt on one knee and shouted in unison,
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"
One could hear the agitation, excitement, and grievance in their voices.
Lu Zhou walked out of the eastern pavilion and looked at the four of them.
A hundred years had passed, but the appearance of the four of them had not changed.
The four of them raised their heads and looked at the Pavilion Master who had led them to sweep through the unknown lands in the past. For a moment, they couldn't control their emotions.
As they had hoped, the Pavilion Master had really returned!
Lu Zhou nodded. "Stand up and talk."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
"How have you been all these years?" Lu Zhou asked.
The four of them stood up.
Kong Wen said, "Everything's fine. However, I can't help but feel bored when I'm not in the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"You left the Evil Sky Pavilion because you didn't want the Evil Sky Pavilion to attract too much attention. I can understand that," Lu Zhou said.
Kong Wen said,
"There's a rumor in the cultivation world … that you, you … have returned to heaven. The four of us refused to believe it and have been waiting for your return! "
Lu Zhou said, "There's no need to bring up the past."
He turned to Pan Zhong and asked, "Pan Zhong, why haven't the others returned yet?"
It was understandable that his disciples had been captured into the Great Void, but it was inexcusable for those who were still in the Nine Lotus to not return.
There were many runic passageways left behind by the Evil Sky Pavilion. The night was almost up.
Pan Zhong said, "Maybe he was tripped."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Hua Wudao appeared outside the east pavilion and said, "Hua Yuexing requests an audience."
"Come in."
Hua Yuexing hugged her bow and quiver as she strode in.
Her expression was not as exaggerated as Kong Wen and his brothers'. However, it was clear that her aura and attitude were much higher when she saw Lu Zhou.
He became even more spirited.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!" Hua Yuexing's voice was loud and clear.
Lu Zhou gestured for her to stand up.
Hua Yuexing stood up.
Hua Wudao stood at the side. He smiled and explained, "I've asked her to stay in the Divine Capital all these years. After all, she has nothing to do in the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Your cultivation base has improved greatly. You deserve a reward."
"Thank you for the compliment, Pavilion Master." Hua Yuexing smiled.
Lu Zhou turned to look at Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng and asked, "Is there a reason why the others haven't returned?"
"He hasn't replied yet. Perhaps … something has happened?" Pan Zhong said.
"Prepare the carriage."
Lu Zhou said sternly, "I'll receive you personally."
Hearing this, Pan Zhong was very excited and immediately said, "Yes!"
The four elders did not expect Lu Zhou to make such a move.
With his identity and status, there was absolutely no need for him to receive these subordinates. When the time was right, he would naturally return. How could they not follow the Evil Sky Pavilion's Master with all their hearts and souls?
The flying chariot was ready.
It was the new Sky Chariot that Si Wuya had made before he left. Whether it was speed or space, it was much better than the previous cloud-splitting chariot.
On the same morning, Lu Zhou led the four elders, Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng, and Hua Yuexing on the flying chariot. They passed through the large runic tunnel and entered the black lotus domain.
In Lu Zhou's opinion, he should bring Zhao Hongfu back first.
She possessed the power of the runic tunnel. With her around, it would be much easier for him to travel the world. He could not do without a talent like her.
…
Black Lotus.
The Dark Glory Alliance.
The Dark Glory Five Tigers had long since passed away.
The newly appointed chief, Zhang Bie, was an elder of the Black Lotus Alliance back then. Now, he had become the chief of the Dark Glory Alliance.
"Chief, Zhao Hongfu doesn't seem to be very proactive."
Zhang Bie turned around and looked at his subordinates as he said, "Zhao Hongfu used to be a member of the Great Yuan Dynasty. She later joined the Evil Sky Pavilion. A hundred years ago, the Evil Sky Pavilion's master passed away. The ten great disciples are nowhere to be found. The remaining people are like a plate of loose sand. "
Zhang Bie heaved a long sigh as he spoke. "The Evil Sky Pavilion used to be in the limelight. It was like the sun at high noon."
"What do we do now, then?" The subordinate did not understand.
Zhang Bie said, "A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Now that the Nine Lotus Alliance is in communication, it's no longer as isolated as before. The Dark Glory Alliance is a small faction, after all. It can't compare to the Evil Sky Pavilion. "
At this point, he sighed softly. "Men strive for greater heights, but water flows to the bottom. It's only natural for Hongfu to look down on our small temple. I'll talk to her in a few days. If she really doesn't want to stay here, I'll send her back to the Great Yuan Dynasty. "
"Understood." The subordinate bowed.
At this moment, another subordinate walked in from outside. He bowed and said, "Chen Wuwang is here."
"Invite him in."
Shortly after.
Chen Wuwang, dressed in luxurious robes, walked in. Two soldiers followed behind him. They carried his Void Halberd.
Upon entering the main hall, Chen Wuwang cupped his fists and said, "Brother Zhang, how have you been?"
"Chen Wuwang, what brings you here?" Zhang Bie stepped forward and smiled.
In the past, the Dark Glory Alliance and the Palace had deep conflicts, but now that they shared the same interests, they had come together.
Chen Wuwang did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the chair beside him and sat down. He said, "This King will not beat around the bush. Have you considered the matter I mentioned to you last time?"
"If you want Zhao Hongfu, you'll have to ask for her opinion," Zhang Bie said.
"Ask her? As the leader of the Dark Glory Alliance, of course I have to ask you, "said Chen Wuwang.
"Zhao Hongfu is a Rune Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Her cultivation base is quite high as well. I can't make the decision for her. "Zhang Bie said.
Chen Wuwang said,
"The Evil Sky Pavilion is no longer the Evil Sky Pavilion it once was. Of course … I also respect Miss Hong Fu very much, but you are different. Don't you know why Zhao Hongfu is working for the Dark Glory Alliance? "
Zhang Bie waved his hand dismissively. "It's not like they're part of the Dark Glory Alliance. Moreover, I'm the one who invited Miss Hong Fu with great hospitality. "
"Alright, let's ask for her opinion," Chen Wuwang said with a smile.
Zhang Bie gestured for his subordinate to summon her.
After a while, his subordinate brought Zhao Hongfu into the great hall.
Zhao Hongfu was as carefree as before. However, she was not as cheerful as before. Perhaps, it was due to her age and experience, she had become much more mature.
When Zhao Hongfu saw the two of them, she immediately sat down at the side.
She said, "May I know what you've summoned me for, chief?"
Zhang Bie said, "Chen Wuwang said that he wants to invite you to work for the royal court. Now that the Nine Lotus is in communication with each other and lacks many runic pathways, Rune Masters are in high demand. "
Chen Wuwang cupped his fists at Zhao Hongfu and said, "Miss Hong Fu, what do you think? Don't worry, once you're in the royal court, His Majesty will make you the palace's Chief Rune Master. You'll be in charge of the Rune Court, and you'll be in charge of more than 3,000 people. You're free to raise any other conditions. "
Zhang Bie frowned when he heard this.
This was making the Dark Glory Alliance look shabby.
Zhao Hongfu did not even think about it. She slapped the armrest of her chair and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
"Miss Hong Fu, will you reconsider?" Chen Wuwang leaned over.
In truth, Zhang Bie did not really want to keep her around. She was a hot potato that everyone coveted.
Moreover, with the Evil Sky Pavilion's background, there would always be people watching her.
"Miss Hong Fu, Chen Wuwang has good intentions. I hope you won't be offended if I say something unpleasant, "Zhang Bie said," The Evil Sky Pavilion has fallen. The nine disciples have entered the Great Void. You should seriously consider Chen Wuwang's suggestion. "
Zhao Hongfu frowned. She said with slight displeasure, "So … you dare to bully me and treat me like a commodity?"
"Uh …" Zhang Bie was speechless. "Calm down, Miss Hong Fu. Has the Dark Glory Alliance mistreated you lately? The Dark Glory Alliance did have conflicts with the Evil Sky Pavilion, but that's all in the past. We should look to the future and work together. "
Her biggest problem now was that she was not proactive. She seemed to be idling her days away.
Chen Wuwang said, "Chief Zhang, Miss Hong Fu can come and go as she pleases. There's no need for you to say such unpleasant things."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A subordinate hastily entered the great hall. He bowed and said, "Chief, Chen Wuwang, the Evil Sky Pavilion has arrived."
"The Evil Sky Pavilion?"
The two of them rose to their feet at the same time.
Although 100 years had passed, the people of the world still felt their hair stand on end when they heard the Evil Sky Pavilion's name.
Zhao Hongfu asked in confusion, "The Evil Sky Pavilion?"
The three of them were puzzled. They quickly walked out of the great hall and looked ahead.
At the end of the path, a flying chariot landed on the ground.
For some reason, the cultivators of the Dark Glory Alliance did not dare to approach it. It was as though they were blocked by an invisible force.
The Evil Sky Pavilion's four elders stood in front of the chariot.
Zhao Hongfu exclaimed in shock, "Elders?"
Then, a dignified and calm voice rang from the flying chariot.
"Zhao Hongfu."
Zhao Hongfu's heart skipped a beat.
She was familiar with this voice.
She had often heard it in her dreams.
She even fantasized about how great it would be if the pavilion master returned.
The pavilion master she thought was dead.
The Evil Sky Pavilion she thought was no more.
"What are you waiting for? Greet the pavilion master," Leng Luo said.
Zhang Bie and Chen Wuwang. "…??"
Their eyes widened as they stared at the flying chariot incredulously.
Pan Zhong parted the curtains of the flying chariot.
The familiar figure of the former king of the Evil Sky Pavilion walked out slowly.
He stood proudly on the flying chariot as he looked down at the others.
Zhao Hongfu moved as though she was flying. She knelt on the ground and said, "Pavilion Master, you're back!"
Lu Zhou's expression was calm. His eyes were as calm as still water.
He looked at Zhao Hongfu and sensed her fluctuating emotions. Then, he said gently, "I'm here to receive you." “
This short sentence caused Zhao Hongfu to be filled with complicated feelings.
Zhao Hongfu prided herself on being mentally tough. However, her eyes reddened involuntarily.
Zhang Bie and Chen Wuwang felt a heavy pressure pressing down on their chests, suffocating them.
Their palms were drenched in cold sweat. Chills ran down their spines.
'He's back!'
'How … How's this possible?!'
Zhao Hongfu rose to her feet excitedly and returned to the four elders' side.
From the beginning until the end, nobody dared to stop her. They did not even dare to say a word.
Zhang Bie wished he could pass the position of the alliance master to someone else right now.
'What should I do?!
I'm panicking! '
Zhang Bie's mind seemed to have shut down. His mind was blank.
After a brief moment of numbness, he finally regained his senses and descended the steps.
Perhaps, he was too nervous, he did not even finish the last few steps. He almost tripped and fell.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Lu!" Zhang Bie said loudly.
Lu Zhou looked down at Zhang Bie and said, "Are you the new leader of the Dark Glory Alliance?"
"Yes, I am!"
Chen Wuwang walked up to Lu Zhou and bowed. "Chen Tianhao greets Pavilion Master Lu!"
Lu Zhou glanced at him and said indifferently, "Chen Wuwang? It's been a hundred years. I can't even remember what you look like. "
Chen Wuwang said, "Pavilion Master Lu, you must be joking. Someone like me isn't worthy of your attention."
Zhang Bie felt his scalp tingle when he heard this.
In any case, he was still a Prince of the Royal Court, yet he devalued himself like this.
For the sake of survival, he was willing to throw away his face.
Lu Zhou looked at Zhao Hongfu and called, "Zhao Hongfu."
"Your subordinate is here."
"How have you been in the Dark Glory Alliance all these years?" Lu Zhou asked.
This question … was like a golden needle, pricking Zhang Bie and Chen Wuwang's nerves, causing them to tremble at the same time.
Everyone looked at Zhao Hongfu.
Without waiting for Zhao Hongfu to reply.
Lu Zhou calmly added, "Just tell me the truth. If you feel wronged, I'll slaughter the Black Glory Alliance to avenge you."
"…"
The cultivators of the Dark Glory Alliance were trembling.
They had heard of the Evil Sky Pavilion before.
He did not think Lu Zhou was still alive. However, with such a person standing before him, how could he be fake?
Who would dare to risk their lives to test the waters?
Zhao Hongfu turned to look at Chen Wuwang and Zhang Bie and replied honestly, "Alliance Lord Zhang and Chen Wuwang have treated this subordinate well and have not treated this subordinate unfairly …"
Hearing this, Zhang Bie and Chen Wuwang heaved a sigh of relief!
It felt great to be able to escape from the jaws of death!
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'd like to bring Zhao Hongfu away. Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Bie waved his hands. "No, not at all! Miss Hongfu is a member of the Evil Sky Pavilion, to begin with. She's the best friend of the Dark Glory Alliance. If she's leaving, we'll send her off happily! "
Lu Zhou asked, "Chen Wuwang, what about you?"
Chen Wuwang hastily said, "I agree with you, Alliance Lord Zhang."
Lu Zhou said, "Good."
He did not want to waste too much time here. He turned around and entered the flying chariot. Then, he said indifferently, "Next."
He rubbed his nostrils in a rather arrogant manner. He looked down at the others and said loudly, "Let's go."
Leng Luo said, "Zhao Hongfu, what are you waiting for?"
Zhao Hongfu felt as though she was dreaming. She had yet to recover from the shock.
She shuddered when she heard Leng Luo's words. She replied to him and leaped onto the flying chariot.
The others boarded the flying chariot as well.
The flying chariot shot into the skies. When it passed through the barrier, it felt as though it was passing through a bubble. It was effortless and effortless!
The instant the flying chariot disappeared, the cultivators of the Dark Glory Alliance, including Zhang Bie and Chen Wuwang, fell limply to the ground.
