Leng Luo spoke frankly with assurance.
"When I was in the Black Cavalry Camp, I met the Emperor a few times. No matter how big the dispute between the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince is, in the end, they are still princes. The one who can control them is still the Emperor. "
Lu Zhou looked up.
Leng Luo's words made sense.
He had been thinking about how to deal with the second prince's subordinate, Mo Li.
Since that was the case, he could start with the Emperor.
"The Black Knights serve the Emperor. You were the leader of the Black Knights back then, and yet, you've only met him a few times?" Lu Zhou found this strange.
"Most of them are delivered by the Inner Attendants," Leng Luo said.
How could the monarch of a country show his face everywhere?
Moreover, the Black Knights were a secret force, not based in the Divine Capital. He couldn't let the Emperor run away.
"The cultivation of those internal attendants has always been unfathomable, and they are all the emperor's trusted aides. There have been many assassination attempts over the years. Those assassins couldn't even get past the Inner Attendants, let alone the Emperor. "Leng Luo sighed.
Lu Zhou nodded. "Go on."
Leng Luo said, "Since Zhaoyue is Princess Yunzhao's orphan, she has the opportunity to meet the Emperor. Moreover, Zhaoyue is by the Empress Dowager's side, so she has the Empress Dowager's support. Before the Empress Dowager leaves, she is the most suitable person to pass the message. However, the Emperor is the Emperor after all. The Emperor is too scheming and not easy to deal with. "
"That makes sense."
Lu Zhou was about to call for help.
Zhou Jifeng hurried in from outside, looking somewhat anxious.
"Pavilion Master, Jiang Aijian sent a letter saying that the Empress Dowager has departed."
Leng Luo said, "This is our chance."
"Opportunity?" Zhou Jifeng was at a loss.
"It's fine if you don't want to make contact with the Emperor. I'm willing to infiltrate the Black Cavalry Battalion," Leng Luo said.
He was originally the leader of the Black Knights. Now that his cultivation had recovered by half, it was not difficult for him to make use of the resources he had in the past.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
"As for the Black Knights, you will act alone. Is there a problem? "
Leng Luo was slightly stunned.
Initially, he wanted to go with Lu Zhou.
At the very least, it would be safer to cling to someone powerful. With that being said, how could Leng Luo still dare to say that there was a problem? He guessed that the Pavilion Master must have other arrangements.
Moreover, he did not dare to ask for too much. It was already good enough that the Pavilion Master had agreed to let him go.
"No problem."
"Alright."
Lu Zhou waved his hand.
Leng Luo did not say anything else. He cupped his fists and left the great hall.
"You should leave as well," Lu Zhou said.
"This subordinate will take his leave."
Zhou Jifeng left the Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall. He sighed inwardly, 'As expected of the old senior. He's always devising strategies and deciding the outcome of a battle from a thousand miles away. He's not nervous at all.
He had just walked out of the main hall.
Duanmu Sheng, who was drenched in water, grabbed his Overlord Spear and said, "Zhou Jifeng?"
"Greetings, Mister Third."
Duanmu Sheng said excitedly, "Let's go. I suddenly thought of another way to temper my basic spear techniques."
"…"
"Don't be afraid. Blame me for not holding back in the past. I apologize for that. You can also practice your swordsmanship … "
Duanmu Sheng apologized as he dragged Zhou Jifeng toward the back of the mountain.
…
Lu Zhou returned to the eastern pavilion and looked at the parchment drawing on the table.
There was still no movement on the parchment drawing. It only showed the location of the Mausoleum of Swords in the Divine Capital.
"Looks like there won't be any information about the fourth Open Heavenly Book for now."
Lu Zhou waved his hand.
The Special Treasure Chest landed on the ground.
He sat cross-legged.
He held his breath and focused.
He looked at the bronze treasure chest that had a three-day time limit.
'What if I don't open it?
I'll miss out on a great fortune.
Moreover, it was very likely that he would continue to be an unchieftain and live the life of a chieftain?
The problem was, if he opened the treasure chest, he would have to let Mo Li off the hook and stay on the mountain for a while longer.
It did not matter if he succeeded in the system's mission.
Moreover, he did not know what the Cooldown was.
He chuckled.
"Do you think I'll be controlled by you just because you've increased the difficulty?"
Lu Zhou raised his hand and slapped the box.
Click.
As soon as he pressed the button, the notification appeared again.
Without any hesitation, Lu Zhou opened it.
"Ding! Obtained avatar, Nine Transformations Yin Yang. Special Cooldown x1, Reversal Card x20, Critical Block Card x50."
"Ding! Triggered Special Cooldown. All item cards will be on cooldown for the next seven days. Countdown begins …"
Lu Zhou thought to himself, 'As expected.'
He called up the dashboard and looked at the item column. There was a countdown of six days and 23 hours.
His mount and weapon did not seem to have a cooldown.
"At least he has a conscience."
Lu Zhou muttered to himself and activated his avatar.
The Eight Methods Connected avatar vanished.
The Nine Transformations Yin Yang took its place.
At the same time, powerful energy surged into his meridians.
…
Early the next morning.
When Lu Zhou opened his eyes, he felt invigorated.
Based on his experience, his cultivation base was in the Dao Transforming realm.
He believed that he would be able to enter the Nascent Divinity realm soon.
Once he entered the Nascent Divinity realm, he would be able to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.
Lu Zhou looked at his remaining life on the dashboard.
Remaining life: 6,582 days.
If he did not have the Reversal Card, his heart would not be able to take it.
He was about to use the Reversal Card.
Lu Zhou remembered his item cards were on cooldown.
He had no choice but to give up on using the Reversal Card.
Seven days was not a long time. He decided to wait patiently.
"Pavilion Master, Senior Leng has departed." Zhou Jifeng's voice rang from outside.
Lu Zhou walked out.
When he saw Pan Zhong and Pan Litian, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Pan Litian said, "I just feel bad if something happens to Leng Luo. Hence, I'd like to head to Rubei with him. "
"I'm willing to go as well."
"I agree," Zhou Jifeng chimed in.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said, "Golden Court Mountain's barrier is gone. Many rascals will try to sneak into Golden Court Mountain. If all of you go, who's going to guard Golden Court Mountain? "
The three of them were taken aback. They were speechless.
"Guard Golden Court Mountain well. You'll have a chance to show your strength."
"Understood." The three of them bowed.
Lu Zhou did not plan to bring too many people with him.
After all, it was pointless.
Moreover, they were too big of a target. They would easily attract attention. At that time, Lu Zhou would not be able to protect so many people.
He would leave Mo Li to Leng Luo. With Leng Luo's abilities, it should not be a problem for him to strike when the opportunity presented itself.
Lu Zhou did not have much to do.
All he had to do was observe from the shadows and deceive the others.
He was not Ji Tiandao. If he were to throw himself into a trap with a fiery temper, it would not be considered powerful but foolish.
Lu Zhou called for Little Yuan 'er.
They rode on Whitzard and left Golden Court Mountain.
…
Meanwhile.
Inside a certain pavilion in Rubei City.
The view was excellent. From a high vantage point, one would be able to see the streets of Rubei clearly.
"Sect Master, the Empress Dowager has departed. She should be resting in the Obedient Summer Villa."
"Alright."
Si Wuya replied casually. Then, he asked, "Has Jiang Aijian released the news?"
"He should have."
"Should?"
Si Wuya did not like this word. It implied uncertainty and uncertainty.
Ye Zhixing bowed and said, "Although our men found out that Jiang Aijian is the Evil Sky Pavilion's spy, he's too cunning. We can't monitor him all the time."
As soon as he finished speaking …
A figure flashed past near the attic.
At the same time, a mocking voice rang in the air. "Trying to monitor me? You're still far from that … "
"After him." Si Wuya stood up and looked out the window.
"Understood."
Ye Zhixing moved at lightning speed and gave chase.
In just a blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.
"Something's not right!" Si Wuya turned around abruptly.
A figure appeared at the pavilion's entrance with his hands on his back.
