His attitude was no longer the same as before.
Before this, he was still able to negotiate calmly. However, after the fight, who would be nice to him?
This was a case of not knowing how to appreciate favors and refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.
Lu Zhou sat comfortably half a foot behind Yu Shangrong. The emperor, Li Yunzheng, sat a foot to the left.
Wang Shizhong was a Nine-and-a-half-leaf cultivator. Although he was injured by Nie Qingyun, he still had the strength to turn around and attack. Indeed, this was the best and closest position to attack the old man.
However …
Would he dare to do so?
The cultivators who tried to resist in the air were struck down by Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai.
His daughter, Wang Shu, did not manage to escape.
After suffering the palm strike, Wang Shu fell to the ground. She seemed to have forgotten the pain. She knew her dantian's sea of Qi was completely destroyed. She was just an ordinary person now.
Cough! Cough!
Wang Shizhong coughed violently.
He turned to look at Nie Qingyun.
His 200-foot red lotus avatar towered like a towering mountain.
Nie Qingyun did not continue attacking. Instead, he looked down at Wang Shizhong and said, "Lord Wang, are you going to continue fighting?"
Wang Shizhong rose to his feet. He waved his hand and said to Lu Zhou, "Don't worry.
He waved his hand and said to Lu Zhou, "Senior Lu, these are the five conditions. I-I agree to them. "
"Very good," Lu Zhou said.
Wang Shizhong hobbled toward Wang Shu.
He helped Wang Shu up and channeled some Primal Qi into her body.
At the very least, it would ease her pain.
Nobody tried to stop him. They just watched.
Li Yunzheng was conflicted. He turned to Lu Zhou and said, "Aren't you being too heartless?"
Lu Zhou said earnestly, "You're still young.
There are many things you haven't experienced. Wang Shizhong is the head of the secretariat. He's a high-ranking official. His hands are stained with blood far more than you can imagine. If I'm the one who falls and he's here, do you think I'll be able to live? "
"Uh …"
Li Yunzheng was at a loss for words.
As someone in a high position, how could he not understand this?
He had personally witnessed Wang Shizhong giving the order to kill. Five years ago, his trusted subordinates whom he had painstakingly nurtured were all killed in a single night. However, the palace's investigation concluded that there were assassins. The corpses were burned to ashes, and the truth was covered up.
"Kindness doesn't command armies, righteousness doesn't control wealth, and emotions don't make decisions … Do you understand?" Lu Zhou asked.
This was a requirement for the monarch of a country.
If one wasn't in a position, one wouldn't think about politics. When one really reached that step, many things were beyond one's control.
"I understand." Li Yunzheng looked at Wang Shizhong.
After Wang Shizhong stabilized Wang Shu's injuries, he sighed and muttered, "You brought this upon yourself, you can't live."
Nie Qingyun withdrew his avatar and ordered,
"Take the two of them away."
"Yes."
Several cultivators stepped forward. "Lord Wang!"
Most of the Sky Martial Court's disciples had perished.
The rest were the elites of the Wang family.
How could they just watch as Lord Wang was captured?
"Wang Tuo, Wang Xiang, Wang Yun! Listen up! "Wang Shizhong raised his voice.
The three from the Wang Clan stepped forward and bowed, "Lord Wang!"
"I want to stay in Cloud Mountain for a while. When you return, don't tell anyone about this. Don't look for the Sky Martial Court either … Go. "
"Yes!"
The three of them retreated to the edge of the cloud platform. They were afraid of being hit.
Wang Shizhong cupped his fists at Lu Zhou. "Senior Lu, my daughter and I can stay. We've agreed to all five conditions. However, these Wang Clan disciples have nothing to do with this matter. It's meaningless to keep them here. Can you let them go? "
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the remaining cultivators.
Indeed, it was meaningless to keep them here. Moreover, he needed someone to deliver the message.
If none of them returned, the people from the Sky Martial Court would surely be alarmed.
Just as Wang Shizhong was about to speak …
Conch pointed at one of the Wang Clan disciples and said, "Master, he's the one who captured Ji Liang … Ji Liang looked at him many times."
"…"
Wang Tuo was shocked. His heart sank.
Ji Liang had flown back to the peak to rest. It was poisoned and neighed for some time. No one knew what it said. Upon hearing Conch's words, the others turned to look at Wang Tuo.
When Wang Shizhong arrived at Cloud Mountain, he heard the horse neighing. Indeed, his daughter, Wang Shu, had mentioned Wang Tuo.
He did not pay much attention to it.
"Wang Tuo!" Wang Shizhong said in a deep voice.
Of the five conditions, the first one was targeted at Wang Tuo.
Wang Tuo knew this. He immediately turned around and ran.
He leaped off the cloud platform and ran for his life.
The others were stunned.
'He's running?'
It would have been fine if he did not run. However, if he ran, it would make it a fact that he had tortured Ji Liang. There was no longer a need to talk about it.
Nie Qingyun said coldly, "I'll go after him.
"I'll go after him. I'd like to see if he can escape."
"I'll go." Yu Shangrong looked at Wang Tuo who was getting further away.
At this moment, Lu Zhou stood up slowly. "There's no need."
The others were puzzled.
'Is Senior Lu showing mercy and letting them go?'
The Cloud Mountain disciples were puzzled as well.
Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, Nie Qingyun and Yu Shangrong stopped moving. Instead, they were stunned.
Nie Qingyun said, "If I'm not mistaken, Ji Liang's hind legs were hacked by a saber. Fortunately, Ji Liang isn't an ordinary mount. Its bones are sturdy, and it's highly toxic. If consumed, it'll be crippled even if it doesn't die. The person who did this is unimaginably vicious. I don't understand why you're letting him go, Senior Lu. "
When Yu Shangrong heard this, he frowned and bowed. "Master, I'd like to pursue him."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shizhong's expression darkened.
Wang Shu, who was lying in his arms, had a mournful expression on her face.
At this stage, he could no longer control the situation. If Wang Tuo wanted to stay alive, it was only natural for him to flee. Lu Zhou could not simply order him to stay.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he walked toward Wang Shizhong. He looked at Wang Tuo who was almost out of sight and said, "He's just an insignificant cultivator. Is there a need to pursue him?"
He flipped his left hand, and Unnamed appeared.
It stood on his palm and buzzed.
An energy bow that was as tall as a man was formed. Lu Zhou nocked the bowstring with his right hand and pulled with two fingers. Bam!
The energy arrow that was as thick as an arm and shone with a blue radiance streaked through the air.
Lu Zhou put Unnamed away.
As though nothing had happened, he turned to face Wang Shizhong and said, "I've always been merciful. I've spared your lives out of consideration for Great Tang. However, the person who murdered Ji Liang is vicious. How can I spare him? "
Wang Shizhong turned to look at the distant horizon.
The cultivators on the cloud platform were watching this.
The people of the red lotus domain had never seen such a technique before. The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were used to this. They were not surprised at all.
As expected.
The energy arrow struck Wang Tuo in the distant horizon. The arrow pierced through his heart.
From afar, no one could see the details or hear anything.
All they could see was the arrow piercing through his heart before it fell from the sky.
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 500 merit points. Domain extra: 500 merit points."
In truth, there was no need for an elite like Lu Zhou to personally make a move.
He had chosen to shoot this arrow because there was no need to waste time pursuing Wang Tuo. Moreover, he wanted to use this opportunity to intimidate Wang Tuo so that Wang Tuo would not try to escape.
A desolate-grade bow and arrow, a view of the cloud platform, and a Ten-leaf Birth Chart. Would Wang Tuo dare to run?
