Everyone was surprised.
They thought of all kinds of possibilities, but Ye Tianxin was the only one they didn't think of.
When Ye Tianxin left the Evil Sky Pavilion, her cultivation base had only recovered a little. It was questionable if she could even survive.
How did she recover her cultivation in such a short time?
Duanmu Sheng cupped his fists and said, "Master, what happened to the Five Mice happened while you were cultivating in seclusion … I didn't dare to disturb you …"
"It's fine."
When Lu Zhou cultivated in seclusion, he was immersed in comprehending the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
Even if he was disturbed, he might not stop to deal with it.
Hua Wudao said, "Ye Tianxin was a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion to begin with. Although she was expelled from the pavilion, she's considered to have realized her mistake and turned back."
Leng Luo sighed.
"It's all my fault for being careless at that time and falling for Mo Li's trick and being controlled by her …."
Everyone turned to look at Leng Luo.
Who would have thought that the former number one on the Black List would actually reflect on himself?
It was very rare.
However, Leng Luo was not entirely responsible for this.
In reality, the one who carried out the massacre of the Bai people was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Wei Zhuoyan. The real Wei Zhuoyan had died a long time ago. The remaining mastermind, Mo Li, lived deep in the palace and was also Leng Luo's mortal enemy.
Lu Zhou glanced at the three elderly elders.
They looked a little tired.
Presumably, the sword exchange with Gong Yuandu had exhausted them.
Thus, he said, "Three Elders, go back and rest."
The three of them cupped their fists at Lu Zhou and left the great hall in silence.
The others remained respectful, not daring to leave as they waited for further instructions.
Little Yuan 'er walked up to Lu Zhou and said, "Master, should I look for Senior Sister Tianxin?"
"No need."
Lu Zhou glanced at her but said nothing.
His attitude was self-evident.
No one said a word.
'He only killed five rats, and he's trying to befriend the Evil Sky Pavilion?'
The Evil Sky Pavilion would not move.
She dealt with the Five Mice, but she didn't even have the intention to come up and visit me. Could it be that I, as her master, should go and visit this evil disciple who deceived her master and destroyed her ancestors?
It didn't exist!
Duanmu Sheng bowed and said, "Master, I'm slightly worried about Old Fourth. After all, that's the Divine Capital … "
Lu Zhou waved his hand.
"I'm afraid there's no safer place in this world than within the palace walls. Don't worry."
"Your disciple understands."
If that was not the case.
Lu Zhou had long since sent Whitzard into the palace to claim Mo Li's life.
Would it be her turn to plot and scheme behind his back?
Moreover, with Jiang Aijian's protection, there should not be a problem.
…
Initially, Lu Zhou wanted to study the Heavenly Writing's third power. However, when he recalled Gong Yuandu's dying words in the great hall, he sighed inwardly.
He looked at the merit points on the system interface.
The reward for Gong Yuandu's death was 1,500 points.
It could be seen that this should be the highest reward among all the single targets.
Was the Nine-leaf stage really an insurmountable hurdle?
Was it true that no one had broken through the thousand-year limit since ancient times?
Gong Yuandu was an old rival.
But at the end of the day, they were still people of the same generation. If he said that he wasn't touched at all, he would be lying to himself.
Lu Zhou suddenly wondered if Ji Tiandao died because he failed to attain the Nine-leaf stage.
The Bai people, Cheng Huang, the secret of immortality.
Fishing out corpses from Measure Heaven River …
He was definitely not the only one in this world who was searching for the secret of longevity.
Initially, Lu Zhou did not pay much attention to this since he had the Reversal Cards. However, now that he thought about it, if Ji Tiandao could die, the system might not be able to guarantee that he would not repeat the same mistake.
Moreover, his troublesome disciples did not have the Reversal Cards. His disciples would grow old eventually.
If his disciples died of old age, who was going to farm merit points for him?
When he thought about it this way, it did not seem logical to rely on the system to achieve longevity.
Lu Zhou thought about Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.
When the rascals left the Evil Sky Pavilion, they were already at the Eight-leaf stage. After so many years, with their talents, were they searching for the Nine-leaf stage and the secret of longevity as Gong Yuandu said?
How many secrets were hidden between the Eight-leaf stage and the Nine-leaf stage?
"Bring Qin Jun here."
"Understood."
Shortly after, Pan Zhong brought Qin Jun into the Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall.
Qin Jun was the Prince of Qi, after all. When he entered the great hall and saw so many people, he was so nervous that he was drenched in sweat.
He trembled, at a loss for words.
"Old Mister …" Qin Jun cupped his fists awkwardly.
"What shameful things have you done for Yu Zhenghai?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Tell me!" Little Yuan 'er urged him anxiously.
Initially, he was not afraid. However, when he saw Little Yuan 'er's demeanor, he was startled and took a step back.
"You've wronged me, old mister … I've never done anything shameful for Sect Master Yu!" Qin Jun waved his hands. "He's been to my mansion three times, and he's only here to tour the Divine Capital. During our past collaboration, I've sent him some information, but I've intentionally avoided the Evil Sky Pavilion. I hope you'll look into this, old mister! "
"What information?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Most of them are about the Imperial guards and the Ten Terminal Formation. The situation in Anyang and Upper Prime City. And … and … "
Qin Jun scratched his head. "There's also information about the five princes …"
"The princes?"
"I don't know why he's concerned about the princes," Qin Jun said.
"Continue."
Lu Zhou's attitude was clear. 'Tell me everything you know without holding anything back.'
Qin Jun was indebted to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Naturally, he knew the Evil Sky Pavilion's rules and reputation.
He did not hide anything as he continued to say, "By the way … The last time Sect Master Yu came to the Divine Capital was more than a month ago. He said that he would fight Senior Sword Demon to determine who was stronger. Apart from that, there's nothing else. I swear to the heavens! "
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he pondered.
That was as much as the King of Qi could offer him.
He had long since guessed Yu Zhenghai's ambition.
It was clear that Yu Zhenghai was preparing for the future by asking about the Imperial guards and the Ten Terminal Formation.
The chaos in Anyang and Upper Prime City must have something to do with him.
It made sense now that he encountered the Nether Sect's flying chariot in Anyang.
"Does he want to fight Yu Shangrong?"
"Mister First and Mister Second are disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Their cultivation bases are unprecedented. Perhaps, the elites appreciate each other and want to see who's stronger, "Qin Jun said.
The iron law of the Evil Sky Pavilion was that fellow disciples were not allowed to kill each other.
The two of them respected each other when they were in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Why did they become enemies after they left the Evil Sky Pavilion?
"When and where?" Lu Zhou asked.
"It should be in about four months. As for where, I really don't know."
Both of them were terrifying villains. There was no way they would let outsiders know where they were going to fight.
Lu Zhou rose to his feet slowly and walked down the stairs. He looked at Qin Jun and asked, "Do you know Yu Zhenghai's true cultivation base?"
Qin Jun did not dare to meet Lu Zhou's gaze.
He could only shake his head.
Cultivation base was a secret. It was only natural that he did not know.
"Forget it."
Lu Zhou waved his arm. "You're dismissed."
"I'll take my leave."
"I'll take my leave, master."
After the others left.
Lu Zhou returned and called up the system dashboard.
Merit points: 1,500.
'How pitifully poor.'
