In Great Yan's cultivation world, apart from the vague legends of reclusive experts who had never appeared before, the experts that cultivators feared the most were Eight-leaf experts. After reaching the Five-leaf stage, one could be considered a grand cultivator.
Eight-leaf cultivators were the cream of the crop among grand cultivators.
After the Lotus Severing era began, the cultivation world quickly severed their lotuses. Those who wanted to be first cut their lotuses and recultivated.
The incident where the seven great sects attacked the Evil Sky Pavilion shocked the entire cultivation world. A Nine-leaf cultivator had appeared out of nowhere.
Who could stand up to a Nine-leaf cultivator?
Nobody knew how the Evil Sky Pavilion's Patriarch, Ji Tiandao, did it. It was an unexplainable mystery in the cultivation world.
However, the nine leaves did not lie.
…
The elite on the Penglai Sect's chariot had initially planned to unleash his avatar to intimidate the enemy. That way, he would be able to deal with the rest. However, he did not expect his target to be a Nine-leaf elite.
Indeed, an Eight-leaf cultivator was powerful. However, before a Nine-leaf cultivator, he was like a blade of grass.
Hua Chongyang placed a hand on his chest. He felt like he was suffocating. He found it hard to breathe. He suddenly remembered the palm strike he used against Senior Lu. If Senior Lu had unleashed a ruthless attack, what would the consequences be? When he thought about this, his back broke out in cold sweat.
Ten seconds was a short time, but it was enough to intimidate the others.
This included the elite on the flying chariot.
Ten seconds passed in just a blink of an eye.
Lu Zhou's Nine-leaf avatar was the first to vanish.
The surroundings of the heaven worship platform were deathly silent.
The elite on the flying chariot suddenly realized how rude and ignorant he had been. The old senior had removed his avatar, and yet, he was still arrogant enough to maintain his laughable Eight-leaf avatar.
He hastily put it away.
All of them had a question in their minds. Who was this old man in front of them?
It was too easy to connect him to the Evil Sky Pavilion's Ji Tiandao.
In other words, some of them thought the old man was the Evil Sky Pavilion's Patriarch!
"Land the chariot!"
A voice rang from the flying chariot.
The disciples snapped back to their senses and began to lower the flying chariot.
As they descended, the voice from the flying chariot asked in a hushed voice, "Shen Liangshou …"
"Huh?"
"Are you from the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
Shen Liangshou was taken aback. His eyes widened as he looked at the old man. Compared to Ji Tiandao, the old man was thinner and more spirited. His hair was much darker as well.
Of course, other than Dou Lao, there was almost no similarity.
He hastily said, "He's not the Evil Sky Pavilion's Patriarch."
"Are you sure?"
"I can guarantee it! During the battle in Liang Province, I was in close contact with Old Senior Ji. His every word, action, voice, and appearance are all in my mind. There's no way I'm mistaken! "Shen Liangshou said.
Boom.
The flying chariot landed on the ground.
The disciples left the flying chariot. They bowed and said, "Welcome, sect master."
A slightly weathered old man emerged from the flying chariot.
What was different was that he was dressed very luxuriously. The embroidered robe he was wearing also had patterns of blue birds and umbrellas.
He leaped off the flying chariot. His two disciples supported him as he hurried forward. In just a blink of an eye, he stopped several meters away from Lu Zhou.
He bowed slightly and said, "Penglai Sect's Huang Shijie greets Senior."
"Huang Shijie?" Lu Zhou nodded. "The Penglai Sect rarely interferes with the trivial matters of the cultivation world. Why are they doing this now?"
The Island Master of Penglai Island was also the Sect Master of the Penglai Sect.
Huang Shijie said, "I happened to be passing by when I sensed a strong fluctuation of Primal Qi. I came to take a look … I didn't expect to meet an otherworldly elite here."
Perhaps, he had heard too much flattery.
At this moment, Shen Liangshou bolted up and approached Lu Zhou. With a cheeky smile on his face, he asked, "May I know … how should I address you, old senior?"
"Hm?"
Lu Zhou shifted his gaze.
When he shifted his gaze, the invisible aura and pressure frightened Shen Liangshou so much that he took a step back.
"I've sinned! I've sinned!"
How dare a weak Nascent Divinity realm cultivator inquire about a Nine-leaf elite's name? He had a death wish.
With just a glance, Shen Liangshou no longer dared to speak.
Huang Shijie said, "Senior, the Penglai Sect has no intention of making an enemy out of you. What happened earlier …"
"Do you want me to give you an explanation?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I wouldn't dare!" Huang Shijie looked to his left and right. When he saw the Taixu Academy and Hengqu Branch in the distance, his expression darkened. He waved his hand and said, "Execute them on the spot."
This order startled the others.
The members of the Taixu Academy and Hengqu Branch retreated in fear.
Huang Shijie knew he could not be merciful at a time like this. He said in a deep voice, "What? Are you disregarding my orders?"
"Yes, master!"
The Penglai Sect's First Disciple turned around indifferently with a murderous look in his eyes. The other four disciples turned around as well.
The five of them flew into the air.
They charged into the crowd.
For a time, there was a rain of blood.
Tragic cries rang in the air.
Lu Zhou did not look at them. This was what they deserved. Moreover, their lives had nothing to do with him.
Huang Shijie cupped his fists and said, "Are you satisfied, old senior?"
Lu Zhou said calmly, "Do your part well."
"I, Huang Shijie, will follow your instructions, old senior." Huang Shijie bowed.
The other disciples bowed as well.
Lu Zhou ignored Huang Shijie and walked up to Miss Conch.
He noticed Miss Conch was not afraid at all. In fact, she was curious about everything that had happened.
Before he could speak …
Miss Conch said, "I've seen it."
"Seen what?"
"Nine … nine leaves." Miss Conch gestured with her hands in the shape of a Golden Lotus.
When Lu Zhou heard this, he was shocked.
His instincts told him that Miss Conch did not seem to be lying.
Her eyes were filled with truth.
Lu Zhou did not probe further. Miss Conch's information was indeed shocking.
'Is he really not the only Nine-leaf elite?'
"Let's go." Lu Zhou extended his hand and placed it before Miss Conch.
Miss Conch glanced at him and placed her hand on his.
Under the setting sun, the beasts in the forest left. The birds took flight and flew in the direction of the setting sun. There was still hope as they chased after the sunlight.
Lu Zhou held Miss Conch's hand as he turned in the direction of Jing Province City. He looked behind him. "Hua Chongyang."
Hua Chongyang shuddered.
The great Seven-leaf elite was like a minion at this moment. He weaved through the Penglai Sect's crowd. When he passed by Huang Shijie, he did not even have the time to bow.
"Senior … Senior Lu."
At this moment, the members of the Penglai Sect heard this name.
As it turned out, this Nine-leaf elite's surname was Lu.
A miracle had finally happened in the human cultivation world. The Nine-leaf Lu would surely make a name for himself in the cultivation world soon.
"I … I didn't mean to hide my identity," Hua Chongyang stammered.
Lu Zhou ignored him. Instead, he walked toward Jing Province City.
…
When Lu Zhou left …
Huang Shijie and the others sighed in relief.
'That was close.'
However, as the Penglai Sect Master, he could not be scared out of his wits like the others. He pretended to be calm as he looked at Lu Zhou's retreating back. Then, he looked at the members of the Hengqu Branch and the Taixu Academy and said, "Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Don't leave a scourge behind."
"Understood."
