Hua Chongyang's eyes lit up.
"Now that you mention it, Mister Seventh, I have some recollection of it. I went to Jingzhou City to inquire about it, and there is indeed such a thing. But I didn't take it to heart at that time, so I didn't ask about it in detail. "
Yu Zhenghai nodded.
"You mean to say that we should intercept this person and make use of him?"
"That's right."
Yu Zhenghai's eyes lit up.
He rose to his feet and patted Si Wuya's shoulder. He laughed heartily and said, "Wise brother, your words have woken me up!"
Hua Chongyang wore a look of admiration on his face.
It was the same information that he did not pay much attention to. However, it was extremely useful to Si Wuya.
Si Wuya nearly spat out a mouthful of blood from the slap. He said, "However, my men's cultivation bases aren't profound. It's not realistic for them to capture this person."
Yu Zhenghai said, "That's easy. The Four Great Protectors are at your disposal. The other three are far away in Liang Province. As long as you say the word, wise brother, they'll come no matter how far they are." As he spoke, he felt that it wasn't sincere enough, so he patted his chest again. "I'll be at your disposal as well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Chongyang hurriedly said,
"Mister Seventh, leave this matter to me … I'm more familiar with Jing State's main city and I know the location of the heaven worship altar."
How could he let the Sect Master of the Nether Church do something like this? It was too degrading.
Yu Zhenghai looked at Hua Chongyang approvingly.
Si Wuya nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Chongyang."
"It is my duty!" said Hua Chongyang.
"Although the Heaven's Worship Platform doesn't involve too many great powers, for safety's sake, you have to keep a low profile, and you can't easily expose your identity. Otherwise … even Eldest Senior Brother won't be able to save you. Also, if you can outsmart them, don't act recklessly. At the end of the day, the heaven worship platform deals with people, "Si Wuya said meaningfully.
Hua Chongyang said, "I understand."
"Go."
Hua Chongyang left the hall respectfully.
He left.
Yu Zhenghai nodded in satisfaction. "I feel much better when you're here, wise brother. I've been very vexed these past few days. I've racked my brains, but I can't think of a good way to take down Jing Prefecture City. "
Si Wuya smiled.
"The Four Great Protectors have profound cultivation bases, and there are many elites in the Nether Sect as well. How could they not think of a solution?"
Yu Zhenghai shook his head.
"Now that the Nine States are in chaos, it's not a problem for me to focus on one city. However, stabilizing the entire situation was even more difficult. Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing guarded Liang Province. They also had to be wary of the Roulians' sudden attacks. If I have too many worries, my mind will be in a mess. Once my mind is in a mess, how can I calm down and think of a countermeasure? "
When the Lotus Severing era began, news of the emergence of a Nine-leaf cultivator spread throughout the cultivation world.
This made him even more anxious.
On the surface, although he had stirred up a storm in the nine provinces and many places were under the Nether Sect's control, the Nether Sect had not been able to control them. However, as long as they could not cut off the lifeline of the Divine Capital, it would not be considered a success, let alone take down the Imperial City.
"There's no need to worry, Eldest Senior Brother," Si Wuya said in a deep voice, "I'll do my best."
For some reason, Yu Zhenghai felt that Si Wuya had changed a lot compared to before.
He did not know why Si Wuya was so determined, nor did he know what Si Wuya had experienced. It seemed like Si Wuya had become more mature.
Yu Zhenghai remained silent. He turned around with his hands on his back and looked at the map of Great Yan on the table.
…
Everything was as usual in Clouds Inn.
Lu Zhou opened the window and looked down at the streets.
There was still no movement.
'Did I waste my Appearance Alteration Card?'
Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.
"Sir, here's your meal."
The waiter pushed the door open and placed the meal on the table.
Lu Zhou glanced at the waiter.
In truth, Nascent Divinity realm cultivators usually did not need to eat or drink for half a month. However, since he was in Jing Province City, he could not draw attention to himself.
"Waiter, are there any movements in Jing Province City lately?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Sir, you've asked this many times … Jing Province City is very peaceful. There's nowhere safer than here. You can stay here in peace," the waiter assured him.
Lu Zhou had expected such a reply.
A commotion broke out on the streets. Some low-rank cultivators gathered in groups and walked toward the city.
Many of them were dressed in peculiar attire.
Lu Zhou pointed outside the window. "Waiter, what's going on?"
The waiter stood on his heels. He glanced at the window and shook his head as he said, "A live sacrifice. It's boring."
"Live sacrifice?"
"In the past, the live sacrifices were usually pigs, cows, or lambs. I heard it's a human this year. I wonder if it's true," the waiter said as he placed the dishes on the table. "Sir, please enjoy your meal."
It did not matter what era it was.
There would always be people like this.
Lu Zhou shook his head. He did not want to poke his nose into other people's business.
The streets were getting noisier.
Just when he was about to close the window, he saw a man walking briskly on the street.
The man was dressed plainly, but his appearance was somewhat familiar.
"This person is …" Lu Zhou could not recall.
'Who is he?
Why does he look so familiar?
My memory is terrible! '
The more he looked at the man, the stranger he found it.
Lu Zhou pushed away from the ground and left the restaurant. He landed in the alley beside the inn.
He followed the man as he walked down the street.
At the end of the street, the man suddenly stopped and turned around.
"May I ask why you're following me, old mister?" The man had noticed someone was following him.
Lu Zhou said calmly, "Young friend, I think I've seen you somewhere before."
He was telling the truth.
However, he could not recall where.
However, to the man, he found it amusing.
"I'm Hua Yang. You've mistaken me for someone else, old mister. Please don't follow me anymore."
It would be better if he did not name his son.
Upon hearing the name, Lu Zhou remembered Hua Chongyang.
He was the leader of the Nether Sect's Four Great Protectors, the Azure Dragon Hall's First Seat, Hua Chongyang.
He was the leader of the Four Great Protectors and a Seven-leaf Golden Lotus elite. Why would he come to Jing Province City alone?
When Hua Chongyang turned around and left, he frowned slightly.
He quickly searched through his memories, but he could not recall such a person.
If his identity was exposed, it would ruin Mister Seventh's plans.
Lu Zhou looked at the remaining time of the Appearance Alteration Card. He had about two days left.
He followed Hua Chongyang.
As long as he followed Hua Chongyang, he would not have to worry about not meeting his rascal, Yu Zhenghai.
Lu Zhou concealed his aura, making him seem like a passerby.
The Appearance Alteration Card seemed like a good item. If Hua Chongyang knew who he was, he would have wet his pants in fear and run for his life.
After passing through four streets, they left the main city.
They made their way north of Jing Province City.
Halfway through their journey, Hua Chongyang suddenly changed directions. He sprinted behind him and attacked at lightning speed.
"Old man, I'm sorry!"
He moved at lightning speed.
When he was 10 meters away from Lu Zhou, he noticed the old man's expression was calm and composed.
An indescribable sense of pressure rose in his heart.
Just when Hua Chongyang's energy fist was about to hit Lu Zhou's face …
Lu Zhou raised his palm.
His fingers seemed to be electrified as they flickered in and out of existence.
He bent his arm and pushed his palm forward!
Bam!
The instant the two palms collided, a vertical blast of energy shot out.
Hua Chongyang was immediately sent flying by the terrifying force. He flipped three times in the air, landed on the ground, and took another three steps back.
His eyes were brimming with shock.
'Penglai Energy Palm?
Six-leaf? Seven-leaf? Or Eight-leaf? '
He could not tell.
This was because he had only used 30% of his strength. He did not use his full strength.
However, based on the old man's calmness, he was at least at the Six-leaf stage.
Hua Chongyang no longer underestimated the old man. He cupped his fists and said, "Old mister … I have no enmity with you. Why are you following me?"
