The Flying Star House was able to become one of the major sects and factions because of their house master, Chen Tiandu, and Ye Zhen. To a certain extent, Ye Zhen's contribution to the Flying Star House was greater than Chen Tiandu. Chen Tiandu was merely a Ten-leaf elite. It was all thanks to Ye Zhen that the Flying Star House was able to expand to its current status.
Now that Ye Zhen and Chen Tiandu were dead, how could the elders and disciples of the Flying Star House not panic?
They could only hide behind the Sky Martial Court and seek a chance to survive.
Meng Changdong, who was standing behind Sikong Beichen, was filled with emotions.
Ye Zhen's success and failure were Ye Zhen's.
The cultivators of the Sky Martial Court retreated as well.
Lu Zhou looked at the others indifferently.
He turned to look at Ye Zhen below him.
To prevent any accidents, he brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror.
The Golden Taixu Mirror buzzed as it was infused with Primal Qi.
A golden light shot out of the mirror and shone on Ye Zhen's corpse.
Sikong Beichen nodded and said, "What a treasure to reveal demons. Nie Qingyun, your Cloud Mountain Mirror isn't much."
Nie Qingyun's expression was grim. The Cloud Mountain Mirror did not reveal Ye Zhen's true avatar, much less Lu Zhou's avatar.
Under the golden mirror's illumination …
Lu Zhou struck with his palm.
Several energy swords shot out.
In just a blink of an eye, Ye Zhen was reduced to pieces.
"Uh …"
The members of the Flying Star House gulped and took a few steps back.
Bam!
One of the energy swords made a crisp sound when it cut Ye Zhen's corpse.
"Hm?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Under the golden mirror's radiance, a dark purple dot appeared.
Tens of thousands of cultivators were curious when they saw this.
Lu Zhou waved his hand. The dot floated up and flew toward his palm. "Ding!
Obtained Violet Glazed Ceramic. Grade: heaven-grade. Owner: Ye Zhen. "
"Violet Glazed Ceramic. Calms the mind. Increases the recovery rate of Primal Qi. When Primal Qi is infused, it can conceal one's aura."
It was not bad.
This must be the reason Ye Zhen was able to evade the Cloud Mountain Mirror.
As for how Ye Zhen transformed his Nine Infants avatar into a human form, it must not be because of the Violet Glazed Ceramic.
After severing the lotus in the golden lotus world, the avatar could also make all kinds of movements and postures.
The red lotus domain still did not have a way to sever one's lotus. For Ye Zhen to be able to figure this out, he was indeed a genius.
Lu Zhou put the Purple Glazed Glass away.
He swept his gaze across the cultivators of the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House.
One of the Flying Star House disciples could not help but ask, "Whipping corpses?"
Lu Zhou flew toward the others.
When he got closer, the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House retreated several meters as though they were facing a great enemy.
"Let's go," a Sky Martial Court elder ordered.
The thousands of cultivators led the Flying Star House away.
"Wait."
Lu Zhou's voice was indifferent and forceful. "Who said you could leave?"
"…"
The cultivators' hearts sank.
"You … you, you really want to kill us all?"
"Stop him." Lu Zhou waved his arm.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong moved swiftly.
Sikong Beichen gave Yao Qingquan and Zhao Jianghe a meaningful look.
How could he be so stupid? He didn't even have the slightest bit of insight.
Yao Qingquan and Zhang Xuan hurriedly nodded in understanding and left in a flash.
They worked with Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai to surround the Flying Star House and the Sky Martial Court.
"If anyone dares to move, kill them on the spot," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
After saying this, Lu Zhou turned to look at Nie Qingyun.
Nie Qingyun panicked. He hastily bowed and said, "Senior Lu, please enlighten us."
"The Flying Star House bewitched your Cloud Mountain disciples. What's the point of keeping them alive if you don't kill them?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Uh …" Nie Qingyun had a troubled expression on his face.
"I've never liked scheming people."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he said this.
Nie Qingyun's words sounded odd.
Ye Zhen was the best at scheming, and he met a tragic end.
None of his six lives were spared.
Nie Qingyun said, "I had no choice but to do this for Cloud Mountain. I hope … Brother Lu can forgive me."
"Brother Lu?"
Lu Zhou looked at Nie Qingyun.
Although he had been in battle mode the entire time, he had seen Nie Qingyun's performance.
"What's your explanation for stopping Sikong Beichen?" Lu Zhou asked.
If Sikong Beichen had joined the battle earlier, Ye Zhen would have been killed even if he had ten lives. It was precisely because of Nie Qingyun that Sikong Beichen could not free himself from the battle. Naturally, the members of the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House were keeping them busy as well.
Upon hearing this, Nie Qingyun's expression changed drastically. When he recalled Lu Zhou's words, he immediately bowed in the air. "I admit that I had selfish motives …"
He paused for a moment and said sadly,
"Do you know how difficult it is for a sect to survive? Monastery Master Xia should have the deepest understanding of this … Those who were weaker would have to suck up to those in power, while those who were stronger would have to rely on those who were even stronger. But the sky was so high that one could not see the top … Who was the one standing at the top? The hearts of men were unfathomable, and experts were constantly changing.
When beasts eat humans, they don't consult with humans. Humans are crueler than beasts … I've worked hard for half of my life to protect Cloud Mountain. I can't watch Cloud Mountain be destroyed by Ye Zhen's hands … 300 years ago, Cloud Mountain and the Ninth Temple fought for seven days and seven nights. Thousands were killed or injured. After that battle, the enmity between Cloud Mountain and the Ninth Temple has continued to this day … Senior Lu, do you think I should be wary of Sikong Beichen? "
After he finished speaking, he looked up and met Lu Zhou's deep gaze.
Lu Zhou said calmly, "What does that have to do with me?"
"…"
Nie Qingyun's heart sank.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said, "Putting aside the fact that I've made an agreement with the Ninth Temple, Sikong Beichen has protected my disciples along the way. How can I let you off?"
"Senior Lu!" Nie Qingyun lowered his body.
"I won't bully the weak. If you can withstand a palm strike from me, I'll spare you," Lu Zhou said.
Nie Qingyun slowly straightened his back.
A hint of hesitation could be seen in his eyes. After giving it some thought, he cupped his fists and made up his mind. "Alright."
He could not stop thinking about the shocking palm strike that killed Chen Tiandu.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly. He added another Thunderblast Card.
He slowly raised his right hand and pushed out with his palm. The Thunderblast Card shattered.
When the palm seal flew out, a bolt of lightning shot toward Nie Qingyun.
Nie Qingyun's expression was horrified. He joined his arms before himself as red energy swirled around him. Primal Qi surged out of his body and formed a sturdy Daoist seal to block the attack.
Everyone stared at the red Daoist seal that the Ten-leaf cultivator had unleashed with all his might.
The seemingly insignificant Thunderblast Palm Seal required the full strength of a Ten-leaf cultivator to block it. What was even more unbelievable was the old man who had beaten up Ye Zhen still had so much strength left.
'With your abilities, you're not worthy of witnessing my true strength …' Lu Zhou thought to himself.
Boom!
The Thunderblast Card seemed to be able to seep through Nie Qingyun's layers of Daoist seals.
The lightning crackled and instantly destroyed all the Daoist seals …
Nie Qingyun felt an irresistible force landing on his body. Peng! With a muffled groan, he was sent flying backward.
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master!"
Two elders swiftly flew over and caught Nie Qingyun.
The remaining Cloud Mountain disciples retreated as though they were facing a great enemy.
Nie Qingyun spat out a mouthful of blood. His forehead was drenched in sweat.
Only by fighting with such a powerhouse face-to-face would one be able to feel the power of a powerhouse. He had no chance of winning. He was powerless to fight back. Compared to Ye Zhen, he suddenly felt that Ye Zhen was tenacious and had a strong will to be able to see this day.
Lu Zhou's hand that was stroking his beard only triggered a wound.
Nie Qingyun coughed violently. He bowed at Lu Zhou and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, Senior Lu."
"If there's a next time, I'll kill you."
Nie Qingyun's face was ghastly pale. Then, he bowed.
This card was meant to intimidate Cloud Mountain.
On the cloud platform, Nie Qingyun had more or less helped Lu Zhou. Keeping Nie Qingyun alive was more useful than killing him.
One had to look further.
Lu Zhou looked at the Flying Star House and the Sky Martial Court.
Thousands of cultivators retreated.
"What are you trying to do?" a Flying Star House disciple asked anxiously.
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and ordered.
"Leave none of the Flying Star House disciples alive."
