The Divine Capital was settled, and the Imperial city was at peace. Who would still dare to follow Zhu Honggong?
Lu Zhou asked, "Are you sure someone's following you?"
Thump!
He looked at Ye Tianxin and muttered, "Senior Sister, please move aside. You're blocking me from kowtowing."
"???"
Zhu Honggong raised his finger.
"Master, you don't know this, but during those years in the Tiger Ridge, your disciple was best at being vigilant."
"Vigilance?" Ye Tianxin asked.
"You're right about intuition … These few days, I've been feeling like someone's following me. Later on, he felt that something was wrong. The stalker was always watching from afar. Master, I've heard people say that crazy worshippers will do something outrageous. How should I deal with this? "
Lu Zhou and Ye Tianxin. "…"
Ye Tianxin felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she bowed and said, "Master, I'll take my leave first."
"Go."
After Ye Tianxin left.
Lu Zhou looked at the kneeling Zhu Honggong and asked, "Is it in the Imperial city or the Divine Capital?"
"Sometimes in the Divine Capital, and sometimes in the palace," Zhu Honggong said.
"You'll stay by my side tonight," Lu Zhou said.
"Ah?"
Zhu Honggong was stunned.
Shouldn't he be praising his own charisma and telling himself not to be arrogant and impatient and to continue working hard?
"Do you have a problem with that?" Lu Zhou's gaze was profound.
"No, no, no … Thank you, Master!"
Zhu Honggong wept inwardly.
Lu Zhou pointed at the rush cushion at the side and said, "In that case, cultivate with me."
"…"
Zhu Honggong wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
He could only brace himself and go to the praying mat beside his master and sit down cross-legged.
Lu Zhou glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and reprimanded them, "Sit up straight, calm down, and focus."
"Oh."
Zhu Honggong straightened his back and straightened his back. "Uh, master … I suddenly have a feeling that that person is useless. Should I deal with him myself?"
Lu Zhou did not open his eyes. He said in a dignified and deep voice, "Impudent."
"…" Zhu Honggong shuddered. He dared not move anymore.
"Ding! Disciplined Zhu Honggong. Reward: 200 merit points."
…
Night fell.
Lu Zhou remained motionless as he meditated on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
Zhu Honggong sat with his legs crossed. He twisted his body from time to time. He felt uncomfortable.
When it was late at night, Zhu Honggong fell asleep.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Yu Shangrong. He shook his head and ignored Yu Shangrong.
He entered the state of comprehension once more.
The night passed, but he didn't sense anyone daring to approach or follow him.
The next morning.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes. His extraordinary power had increased again. He looked to the side and saw Zhu Honggong sleeping like a dead pig. Zhu Honggong was snoring loudly, and he was even drooling.
He was infuriated.
Was this how the Evil Sky Pavilion's disciples behaved?
"Bastard!"
"Ah?!"
He hastily wiped away his saliva and prostrated himself as he said, "Master! Good morning! "
"Since you're not in the mood to cultivate, go take a stroll in the Divine Capital. If there are any Mutated Tribe spies, kill them first and report later."
Zhu Honggong was overjoyed. "Master is wise! Your disciple promises to complete the task. "
After saying this, Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and walked out.
Just when Zhu Honggong caught up to them …
Lu Zhou glanced at the mark on Zhu Honggong's collar again.
The mark shone for a moment before it dimmed and disappeared.
Ordinary marks were cast on the target directly. However, they were easily discovered and dispelled.
For higher-grade marks like the Celestial Masters Sect, they would usually use talismans and hide the talismans on the target's body. Naturally, the chances of the talismans being exposed were high.
However, to leave a mark on the target's clothes through carving required a brilliant technique. At the very least, the person had to get close to the target and carve it. The person who was capable of this was not an ordinary cultivator. This did not seem like a mark mastered by ordinary Great Yan cultivators.
"Master, I'll take my leave." Zhu Honggong bowed.
"Wait."
Lu Zhou walked up to Zhu Honggong and patted his shoulder. Another faint mark appeared.
"Go," Lu Zhou said.
Zhu Honggong's loyalty increased by 2%.
'I'm touched!
Master is much more considerate than before! '
"I'll take my leave, master!"
Zhu Honggong left the Imperial city.
Lu Zhou waited for a moment before he followed Zhu Honggong.
Along the way, the Imperial guards and inner palace elites did not stop them.
After leaving the Imperial city, Lu Zhou found a secluded spot. He flipped his palm, and an Appearance Alteration Card appeared in his palm.
He crushed it on the spot.
Lu Zhou felt the skin and flesh on his wizened face moving.
After a moment, the movement gradually stopped.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and touched his wizened face. It was smoother.
This process was like a reshaping, and even the quality of his hair became darker. However, he was still in the state of old age.
Could it be that the Appearance Alteration Card changed the range of one's appearance based on the reversed lifespan?
As a transmigrator, he was once a young man. It would be a lie to say that he did not pursue youth. It was understandable that he did not have enough Reversal Cards. All he had to do was take it slow. Sooner or later, he would be young again. However, the Appearance Alteration Card did not give him a chance. It was inexcusable.
However, this was not the time to be calculative about this.
Lu Zhou walked down the streets of the Divine Capital.
When he sensed the mark on Zhu Honggong's body was still there, he walked at a steady pace.
The Divine Capital was being rebuilt at a rapid pace.
In just a few days, the place that had collapsed into rubble was now brand new.
There were many cultivators bustling about as well. Perhaps, it was Hua Chongyang's doing. During the rebuilding period, cultivators could fly. The Divine Capital was much livelier than before.
Lu Zhou could not help but think of his hometown. The people there were hardworking and intelligent. They were even known as construction maniacs.
…
Shortly after, Lu Zhou sensed the mark was not far away from him. He quickened his pace.
Finally, he saw Zhu Honggong strolling along the streets. He seemed to be bored to death.
Lu Zhou knew Zhu Honggong's temperament so he did not pay much attention to him. He looked around and wondered where the mysterious stalker was.
He continued to follow Zhu Honggong.
Strictly speaking, the Divine Capital was huge. It was as big as a county in the nine provinces.
After walking for a long time, he was not even halfway there. He was already in a deserted area of the Divine Capital, but he did not see the stalker.
"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"
But the mark … "
Lu Zhou was still puzzled when a hunchbacked middle-aged man blocked Zhu Honggong's path.
Zhu Honggong frowned and said, "Don't block my way."
The middle-aged man said, "I'd like you to come with me." “
Zhu Honggong leaped backward. "Oh … I know! You've been following me?!"
"I had no choice … There are too many people in the Divine Capital. I had no choice but to do this."
"You've been with me for so many days. You should know who I am, right?" Zhu Honggong puffed out his chest. "You'll be scared to death if I tell you!"
"…"
"I'm the Evil Sky Pavilion's Mister Eighth, Zhu Honggong. Are you afraid now? Kneel, kowtow, and admit your mistake. Perhaps, I'll be merciful and forgive you. After all, I can empathize with admirers like you, "Zhu Honggong said.
The middle-aged man regarded Zhu Honggong with a complicated gaze. He shook his head. 'Why is he acting like a fool?'
"I'm sorry. Please come with me. You'll understand everything when you meet the master."
"Heh? Aren't you afraid? "
The middle-aged man suddenly attacked. A blast of energy shrouded two of his fingers. He moved at lightning speed.
He was an elite.
'Old Eighth is going to suffer!'
Lu Zhou held his breath and retracted his aura.
Just when the middle-aged man thought he would be able to touch Zhu Honggong in a short time, Zhu Honggong suddenly unleashed the Nine Tribulations Thunderblast!
Boom!
The middle-aged man staggered three steps back. He frowned slightly.
"Hm?"
The Nine Tribulations Thunderblast was unleashed instinctively. Its power was just right.
Even Lu Zhou did not expect the usually lazy fool to know how to conceal his strength.
Zhu Honggong glared at him and said, "How dare you sneak up on me?"
The middle-aged man did not continue attacking. If the battle escalated, it would surely cause a greater commotion.
He lowered his hand and said, "I truly mean you no harm … I just want to ask you to meet my master."
"I'm sorry, but I'm busy."
"Mister Eighth … are you really not going?"
"If you don't get lost, I'll scream for help!"
Swoosh!
At this moment …
Lu Zhou sped away at lightning speed.
