Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong knew the greatest villain in the world of the golden lotus, the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, and the master of Golden Court Mountain's ten great disciples the best. No matter how much time passed, it was impossible for them to forget.
The scene was very quiet.
When the Azure Thearch Ling Wei first saw Lu Zhou, he knew this person was extraordinary.
On the other hand, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's expressions were colorful.
The two of them acted out of character, their previous cold and aloof demeanor suddenly disappeared.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He took a closer look.
This … if it wasn't her master, then who could it be?
The two of them stood rooted to the ground, no one knew what they were thinking.
Green Thearch Ling Wei smiled and said, "When did your Xuan Pin Palace have such an expert?"
Emperor Xuan Pin's heart was filled with terror.
His teacher had personally made a move to help him regain face time and time again. How could he fail?
Emperor Xuan Pin smiled.
"This is a friend that I personally invited to join the Black Armor Hall."
Dao Saint Li Chun felt weird. Didn't I invite him?
Azure Thearch Ling Weiyang nodded slightly and said, "His aura is steady and his cultivation is profound. Seems like you have some tricks up your sleeve. "
He turned to look at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He waved his hand and said, "Both of you, play with him. It'll show Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin the difference between us. It's not so easy to keep the position of Palace Head. "
After the Lotus Emperor finished speaking, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were still in a daze. Nobody knew what they were thinking. It was as though they did not hear the Lotus Emperor.
'Yu Zhenghai?'
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenghai snapped back to his senses immediately. He shuddered as he turned around and said, "I … I think I should leave this task to my junior brother."
Yu Shangrong was slightly taken aback.
"Senior Brother, why don't you do it?"
"Junior Brother, please."
"Senior Brother, please."
Azure Thearch and Imperial Emperor Xuanpin: "…"
Usually, as long as there was something to do, they would be more diligent than anyone else. But today, it was really strange. Instead, they were modestly giving way to each other.
The Qing Emperor said, "This is not your style."
He said in a clear voice, "In truth, when I was sparring with Palace Head Zhang, I used a little trick. If it was a fair fight, I would not be a match for Palace Head Zhang. "
Zhang He:?
Yu Zhenghai added, "This weapon of mine is called the Jasper Saber. It's been tempered in His Majesty the Azure Emperor's snow mountain pool a long time ago. Yet, you sparred with me with your bare hands. This is an unfair victory for me. I am truly ashamed. "
“？？？”
Yu Shangrong chimed in.
"Me too. When I fought with you just now, I had the advantage of my weapon. If we were to fight bare-handed, I'm afraid I'm not Brother Zhang's match. It was really a fluke that he was able to win today. I'm not even comparable to Palace Head Zhang, so how can I compete with the other experts? "
Azure Thearch Ling Wei patted the armrest of the chair and snorted. "That's not what you said before we came. Victory was victory, defeat was defeat. It has little to do with the weapon. "
Yu Zhenghai said, "I admit defeat."
Yu Shangrong chimed in, "Seconded."
"Preposterous! This Emperor will let you use the Snow Mountain Pool and work hard to upgrade your weapons. How could you admit defeat at this time? "
Azure Thearch Ling Weiyang said angrily.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said, "Tell me, who's going first?"
“？？？”
There was a hidden meaning in Lu Zhou's words. Clearly, he could not refuse and had to go first.
Yu Zhenghai gave it some thought and said, "S-senior, I can tell that you're an extraordinary person. Why do you have to make things difficult for juniors like us?"
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou moved swiftly and appeared before Yu Zhenghai. He pushed his palm out in a straight line.
Bam!
Yu Zhenghai flipped backward.
He somersaulted several times before he managed to stabilize himself in the air.
Yu Zhenghai's expression changed slightly. He regarded Lu Zhou with a complicated and puzzled expression. He wondered, 'Isn't this master?
How ruthless. '
He studied the person before him. No matter how he looked at it, this was his master. There was no way he could be mistaken.
In that case, why didn't his master expose their relationship?
In any case, he had to stick to the plan.
Yu Zhenghai forced an awkward smile and said, "You're indeed fierce, senior. I'm impressed."
Lu Zhou's figure flashed again.
In just a blink of an eye, he appeared before Yu Zhenghai.
What happened next was too horrible to watch. It was a one-sided beating.
Lu Zhou spun in the air, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. Every palm seal landed on Yu Zhenghai's body with great accuracy.
The entire process lasted for about the time it takes to finish a cup of tea. Yu Zhenghai crashed to the ground with a thud.
Lu Zhou was done with his work.
He returned to the distance.
"…"
The others were silent.
Ling Weiyang, the Azure Emperor's expression darkened.
Anyone who was not blind could see that Yu Zhenghai did not resist at all. It was not because his opponent was powerful. It was because Yu Zhenghai had one-sidedly admitted defeat.
How did the proud Yu Zhenghai, who would rather die than submit, end up like this?
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin nodded inwardly. 'Do they know each other?'
Dao Saint Li Chun, who had been silent all this while, suddenly remembered who they were. 'Aren't these the people I met at Chen Fu's dojo? Pavilion Master Lu's disciples?! '
Li Chun was not a fool. Anyone could tell that they were putting on an act. He could not expose them now. He had to cooperate … Yes, cooperate!
"Good! Good! "Li Chun suddenly clapped.
The Dark Armored Guards nearby jumped in fright.
Even Emperor Xuan Pin glared at him in annoyance.
"It's your turn." Lu Zhou looked at Yu Shangrong.
"Uh …"
Yu Shangrong knew he would not be able to survive this. Clearly, his master wanted to use this opportunity to understand his strength. Hence, he decided to show his strength.
Zing!
The Longevity Sword was unsheathed.
Upon seeing this, the Azure Emperor smiled. 'That's more like it.'
The Longevity Sword spun toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou summoned energy swords with two fingers and instantly enveloped Yu Shangrong. He charged at Yu Shangrong in a dominating manner.
The Azure Emperor Ling Weiyang said, "The power of a supreme?"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Yu Shangrong retreated. Unfortunately, Lu Zhou's energy swords were already upon him. The space around him seemed to have been frozen.
The energy swords shot forward.
A few breaths later.
Lu Zhou pushed his palm forward. The energy swords in the air immediately dissipated.
The Longevity Sword fell to the ground with a clang.
The battle was over.
The others looked at the two of them, eager to see the outcome.
Both of them seemed normal.
With a ripping sound, Yu Shangrong's green robes were torn.
These were the marks left behind by the energy swords.
"Good!"
Li Chun clapped again. "Good sword skills!"
"…"
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin frowned. "There's nothing for you to do here."
"Understood."
Li Chun left reluctantly. She would look back from time to time.
After Li Chun left, Yu Shangrong bowed at Lu Zhou and said, "I've lost."
Lu Zhou said nothing. He only looked at them quietly.
Yu Shangrong said, "I've only scratched the surface with my sword skills. I'm still far from being comparable to you, senior."
Yu Zhenghai rose to his feet and said, "My saber skills are ridiculously weak."
The two of them chimed in, belittling themselves and praising Lu Zhou.
After a while, the Azure Emperor Ling Weiyang raised his hand and said, "Wait."
The others looked at the Azure Emperor.
The Azure Emperor asked, "You two know each other?"
Yu Zhenghai said, "You must be joking, Your Majesty. The two of us are from the Nine Lotus Sect. How could we possibly know someone from the Great Void? "
The Azure Emperor's gaze was deep as he said, "You're their master, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor nodded.
'I knew it,' Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin thought to himself.
The Azure Emperor did not wait for Lu Zhou to deny it. He continued to say, "I've lived for so long. Do you think I can't tell what you're up to?"
Lu Zhou finally spoke.
"Back then, I left behind two cultivation techniques. One was the Great Dark Heaven Memorial, and the other was the Guiyuan Sword Technique."
When the Azure Thearch heard that, he nodded and said, "To be able to create such an exquisite Cultivation Technique, I am not surprised that you have the ability of a Prime. However, what I'm curious about is when did someone like you appear in the Great Void? Why haven't I heard of you before? "
Lu Zhou said calmly, "I heard that the Azure Emperor, Ling Weiyang, was defeated in the competition between the Ten Temples and was forced to leave the Great Void. He settled down in the Lost Land of the Endless Ocean in the east. It's been a hundred thousand years … Let alone me, do you know all the hall masters of the Ten Great Void Palaces? Do you know how many new experts have been born in the Ten Great Void Palaces? "
The Black Armor Guards were extremely nervous.
Even Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were shocked. They did not expect their master to go against the Azure Emperor.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing was not angry. Instead, he said, "You're right. Therefore … This Emperor has returned. “
"This old man has also returned."
For some reason, when Imperial Lord Xuan Pin heard Lu Zhou's words, he sighed inwardly.
Perhaps, only Imperial Lord Xuan Pin, who understood Lu Zhou's words, would understand the story behind it.
"A supreme should spar with a supreme. Since you're their master, I'll spar with you, "Emperor Ling Weiyang said indifferently.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "The outcome has been decided.
There's no need to continue. "
"The outcome has been decided?" Emperor Ling Weiyang was puzzled. "The battle hasn't even begun. How can there be a winner?"
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back. His tone was calm as he said, "If you can't remember, go back and think about it."
Emperor Ling Weiyang frowned.
A beam of light appeared in his palm.
Primal Qi swiftly gathered.
At this moment, Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said, "Ling Weiyang, your memory is getting worse."
"Hm?"
Emperor Ling Weiyang said, "Even you think I'll lose to him?"
"What I mean is, you've lost to him in the first place," Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said.
"Prove it, then."
Whizz!
A huge green lotus appeared under Emperor Ling Weiyang's feet.
It covered the entire Xuan Pin Great Hall in an instant.
With a light stomp of his foot, the entire Xuan Pin Great Hall would be destroyed.
However, he did not do so. Instead, he waited for Lu Zhou's reply.
He was the Azure Emperor, after all. He had a supreme status and power.
At this moment, Lu Zhou stomped his foot lightly.
The power of the heavenly form and the Heavenly Dao rippled and spread across the green lotus.
Emperor Ling Weiyang frowned as he looked at Lu Zhou.
Cultivators possessed amazing perception and memory. Like a skilled chess player, regardless of whether they won or lost, as long as they had a deep impression of a match, they would be able to clearly remember the details of every move, and even replay the game.
Emperor Ling Weiyang was no exception.
However … this feeling was far too long. It was more than a hundred thousand years.
It was a blurry feeling.
It was slightly difficult to awaken this ancient memory.
The Azure Thearch's Spiritual Aura fell into a very strange state.
He could not explain it.
He looked at the green lotus under his feet.
'Gently.'
The lotus disappeared.
Emperor Ling Weiyang looked at Lu Zhou with a complicated gaze. He could not confirm it, but he could not deny it either. He merely said indifferently, "We'll meet another day."
He turned around and flew into the air.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were stunned. They did not know if they should follow him.
They were hesitant.
Lu Zhou said, "At the end of the day, you owe the Azure Emperor a debt of gratitude. Go."
The two of them did not speak. They did not even address Lu Zhou as their master. No matter what the others said, they had to carry out their plan. Everything had to be done according to plan.
The two of them cupped their fists at Lu Zhou before they flew into the air and vanished.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin moved to Lu Zhou's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. She projected her voice so only the two of them could hear and said, "When did you recruit disciples, master?"
"It's been many years," Lu Zhou replied.
"I didn't expect your disciples to be so outstanding. Their cultivation bases are extremely profound. Their futures are limitless, and they'll surely become heaven supremes. It's no wonder the Azure Emperor would favor talents like them. These two are much more powerful than the two from Nan Li Mountain. They have the demeanor of someone of high status. With some training, it's not impossible for them to replace the ten palaces in the future. The two from Nan Li Mountain … If they didn't possess the Great Void Seed, I'm afraid they'd be reduced to ruffians, "Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said.
Lu Zhou said in a hushed tone, "Those two are my disciples as well."
"…"
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin was taken aback. The words he wanted to retort were stuck in his throat. He swallowed them back down and changed the topic. "They're capable of being mistaken for ruffians, but they're actually capable. It's clear that they're talented. Good looking bodies are all the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. "
He glanced at Lu Zhou out of the corner of his eye.
'Fortunately, my master is not angry.'
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin raised his voice and said, "It's no wonder they were able to defeat Zhang He. No matter who they are, I'll welcome them as the Temple Master." “
When Zhang Heneng heard this, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"However, the Azure Emperor must've guessed something. He won't let them come here so easily," Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said regretfully.
Lu Zhou did not care about this.
He could not be bothered to think about it. All he wanted was to confirm that they were fine and that their cultivation bases had improved.
Next, it was time for the other disciples.
Lu Zhou said, "If you're free, why don't you come with me to Shangzhang?"
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin nodded and said, "Of course. Anytime. "
"Alright."
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin suddenly remembered something and said, "Pavilion … Pavilion Master Lu, don't tell me those two girls are also …"
Lu Zhou merely nodded. He did not say anything. He turned around and left with his hands on his back.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin looked at Lu Zhou's retreating figure. His heart skipped a beat. He asked again, "What about the others …"
Lu Zhou remained silent as he left Xuan Pin Great Hall.
His silence was a tacit admission.
"…"
Realization dawned on Imperial Lord Xuan Pin. The Great Void Seed that Great Void had been searching for for so many years was taken away by his master!
His master was the mastermind behind all of this!
When Zhang He saw Imperial Lord Xuan Pin's thoughtful expression, he could not help but say, "Your Majesty, why don't I give my position as the Temple Master to Brother Lu? I know you're afraid that I'll be upset, and you're worried about giving away such an important position. Today, I've thought it through. None of that matters. As long as Xuan Pin can grow stronger, I'm willing to step down without any complaints. "
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin glanced at Zhang He. After a moment of silence, he scoffed and said, "You flatter yourself."
After saying this, he walked into the great hall with his hands on his back.
It seemed as though he could not be bothered with Zhang He.
"Your Majesty? I really don't mind. "
