Zhou Wenliang nodded.
"That's right. After the interaction just now, Old Villain Ji isn't as irritable as the rumors say. He's also a reasonable person. "
"What should we do next?" Wang Jianrang asked.
"It's better to stay here. Once Lin Xin dies, Old Villain Ji will probably let us go. Also … don't say anything wrong after this, "Zhou Wenliang warned.
"Yes."
…
Meanwhile, in one of the courtyards in the Evil Sky Pavilion's southern pavilion.
The four elders had managed to invite the apparatus.
Leng Luo, Pan Litian, Hua Wudao, and Zuo Yushu studied the armor.
After learning about the Taixu Academy, the four of them fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Lu Zhou asked, "Elders, what do you think?"
Leng Luo said,
"The runes on the armor are extremely exquisite. I have never seen them before. Come to think of it, no one in this world can do it. "
"This old man thinks so too."
"I think so too," Hua Wudao chimed in.
The three of them looked at each other. Well said.
Lu Zhou looked at Zuo Yushu who remained silent.
Zuo Yushu rolled her eyes at the three old men.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did Elder Brother really obtain this armor from Lin Xin?"
"Of course."
Lu Zhou suddenly remembered Zuo Yushu was a Confucian elite. She was from the same sect as Lin Xin.
Zuo Yushu frowned and said, "I didn't expect Lin Xin to be in cahoots with the crown prince … This reminds me of something."
"What is it?"
"When I just reached the Eight-leaf stage, I was invited to the palace to meet His Majesty. His Majesty once discussed his thoughts on the Eight-leaf stage with me. His Majesty once asked me if I yearned for the Nine-leaf stage. I replied with a smile. There are no Nine-leaf cultivators in the world. Now that he thought about it, the Imperial family must have known about the Nine-leaf stage a long time ago. This armor … must be made by a Nine-leaf cultivator, "Zuo Yushu said.
As soon as he said that.
Leng Luo, Hua Wudao, and Pan Litian were shocked.
Everyone knew that the Confucian Sect was proficient in formation patterns.
If even Zuo Yushu said so, a few should be enough.
"If I'm not mistaken, once the Formation veins are triggered, they'll release a powerful force. I'm afraid an Eight-leaf or Nine-leaf cultivator won't be able to withstand it!"
Everyone took a deep breath.
Zhu Honggong's face was filled with disbelief as he said, "He's that powerful?"
"Of course … You're still young and inexperienced. The Confucian Sect is proficient in formations, and this isn't anything strange in the cultivation world. "
"I've learned something." Zhu Honggong bowed.
Lu Zhou nodded. "Alright."
He raised his palm.
Once again, he used his energy to hover the armor.
The four elders retreated with Zhu Honggong.
At this moment, they saw a faint blue light shining between Lu Zhou's fingers.
Between his fingers, there were four large characters written in seal script: Abandon Wisdom.
The palm print landed on the armor.
Just when Lu Zhou thought he still could not activate the armor's special power, the armor suddenly buzzed.
"Move," Lu Zhou said gruffly.
The four Grand Elders simultaneously tapped the ground with the tips of their toes and flew out of the main hall at a low altitude.
"Wait, wait … I … I'm still here …" Zhu Honggong turned and ran.
The armor shone with a red radiance.
Lu Zhou did not leave. Instead, he stared at the armor.
What kind of power was capable of dealing with a Nine-leaf cultivator?
Buzz buzz …
The armor kept vibrating.
The red veins seemed to have been ignited as they spread out.
All the veins formed energy lines that spread forward like a spiderweb.
Something stirred in Lu Zhou's heart. 'Is this going to trigger my Critical Block Skill?'
He could sense the danger from the energy threads.
It was peculiar, much more peculiar than the coffin.
Lu Zhou understood now. The Heavenly Writing power of the Human Scroll was equivalent to the power of a Nine-leaf cultivator.
The Heavenly Writing power had triggered the armor's special power.
…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Pavilion Master!"
"Master!"
A powerful energy instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. It moved as fast as lightning.
"Retreat!"
Zuo Yushu grabbed Zhu Honggong and flew away.
"As expected, it's the power of a Nine-leaf cultivator!"
Leng Luo, Hua Wudao, and Pan Litian kept their distance.
The red web in the air continued to spread out.
Then, it drifted into the air and vanished.
Silence reigned.
The four elders and Zhu Honggong were stunned.
Although they were once Eight-leaf elites, they were still shocked by the peculiar power when they sensed the intense danger.
The four of them frowned as they looked at the courtyard. Nobody dared to speak. Nobody dared to move.
There was a moment of silence.
Zhu Honggong slumped to the ground and wailed, "Master! Master … You can't die! Master … "
The four elders of the Old Age Pavilion. "???"
'Die?'
Surely not, right?
However, they were not sure if the pavilion master was alright.
After all, the pavilion master was a true Nine-leaf cultivator in their hearts. Even if the armor unleashed the power of a Nine-leaf cultivator, the pavilion master should be able to withstand it if he unleashed his full strength, right?
Creak!
Creak!
Strange sounds rang from the building.
Crack!
The entire building was reduced to pieces like tofu. Pieces fell to the ground.
Debris filled the air.
The red energy web had sliced the building apart with great force.
The cut was smooth and clean!
Rumble!
The debris fell to the ground.
Dust filled the air.
"Master! Ah … you … you're dead … Huh? I'm glad you're alright, master! "
The dust settled.
Everyone could see clearly.
They saw Lu Zhou standing in his original spot. He did not move at all.
His hands were on his back, and his body was shrouded in faint blue arcs of electricity.
He blocked all the damage.
"Ding! Obtained remnant of the Earth Scroll. Reward: 1,000 merit points."
'Remnant of the Earth Scroll?'
Lu Zhou glanced at the Earth Scroll on the system dashboard.
As expected, the runes on the column of Heavenly Writing seemed to have been activated as they began to move.
This reminded him of when he first read the contents of the Human Scroll.
This meant he could now meditate on the Earth Scroll.
He could wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find what he was looking for without even looking for it.
At the same time, he looked at the Critical Block Card. It was not triggered. This meant the Power of Muting had negated the power of the energy threads.
If it were not for the Heavenly Writing scrolls, he would have to use the Impeccable Card to defend against the armor's mysterious power.
For now, he had profited.
"Pavilion Master, your might is unparalleled!"
"I'm impressed by your skills, big brother."
"Although I don't recognize this skill, it's definitely more powerful than an Eight-leaf …"
As for Hua Wudao, he was extremely shocked.
"When I first came to the Evil Sky Pavilion, I could spar with the pavilion master. It didn't matter even if I lost. Now, I can't even think about doing that anymore … To think I dared to use the pavilion master as a target. What a joke! A person like the pavilion master can only be admired, not surpassed. "
The four of them flattered Lu Zhou.
Zhu Honggong was stunned when he heard this.
Just when he was about to speak, Lu Zhou asked, "Old Eighth, why are you sitting on the ground?"
"Huh?"
Zhu Honggong hastily raised his hand and slapped himself several times. "Master, I'm reflecting on my actions."
"Reflecting?"
As he spoke, he slapped the old man a few more times.
"That's enough."
Lu Zhou was in a good mood after obtaining the Earth Scroll. He could not be bothered with Zhu Honggong. Instead, he said, "Tell Lin Xin that I've changed my mind. I want to see his head in seven days."
