Yan Zhenluo's attitude seemed to be sincere, without any hostility. However, this did not mean that Lu Zhou would easily trust him.
He kept Fatal Strike in his palm, just in case.
To be able to help Yi Yao, how could he be lower than five Birth Providences?
"Is the Sea Soul Pearl yours?" Lu Zhou asked.
Yan Zhenluo shook his head and said with a smile, "The Sea Soul Pearl is the Black Tower's parliament's thing. If members want to use it, they have to apply to the Black Tower's Senior Elders Association. This item has already broken away from the flood level and has become a fusion level. "
Lu Zhou memorized every important piece of information.
He asked, "Yi Yao was your companion, but you just watched him die in my hands?"
"I won't hide it from you."
Yan Zhenluo sighed, "The Black Tower's Parliament has been divided into many forces due to internal strife. The Black Tower has existed for so long that no one knows how long. Every generation of guild leaders would carry out the concept of captivity. This philosophy made the Black Lotus even stronger.
"However, many problems were gradually exposed. For example, the wastage of the Birth Providence Heart. Some people had special privileges. They clearly couldn't activate their Birth Charts, but they used them unscrupulously. Black Lotus would eliminate anyone who prevented the Black Tower from implementing this philosophy. Uneven distribution, waste of resources, internal strife and corruption, and most importantly … the clash of ideals is getting bigger and bigger. "
"A clash of ideals?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"The supporters hope to continue the strict implementation of the concept of captivity and collect the Heart of Life Providence. The reformists hope to improve the concept, such as including the Heart of Life in the collection. The radicals hope to directly carry out the elimination plan," said Yan Zhenluo.
"Which sect are you from?" Lu Zhou asked with a frown.
From this conversation, the Black Tower Council was much more complicated than he had imagined.
"Neither."
Yan Zhenluo smiled … His profound eyes seemed to be glowing. "Like Lu Li, I like to be free and unrestrained. Be optimistic about the future, be hopeful about everything … "
If Lu Zhou had heard these words before he transmigrated here, he would have scoffed at them and called them poisonous chicken soup. However, under these circumstances, Yan Zhenluo's frank attitude and gleaming eyes surprised Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou's impression of Lu Li eased his guard against Yan Zhenluo.
"The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest. That's a fresh idea, "Lu Zhou said.
Yan Zhenluo continued.
"Lu Li often says that humans are animals that love internal strife. I don't like fighting any more than he does. There are many things that are inconvenient for me to say. I hope Your Excellency will forgive me. "
Lu Zhou said, "What if I force you to tell me?"
"…" Yan Zhenluo frowned slightly. "Sigh …"
A sigh that was even heavier than before rang out.
"Why are you sighing?"
"I'm just an executor. Even if you kill me, what benefits will you get?" Yan Zhenluo spread his hands.
Naturally, Lu Zhou would not tell him that he would be rewarded with a bunch of merit points for killing him.
Realistically speaking, if he dealt a fatal blow, he wouldn't earn any merit points.
"Why did you lure me here, then?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I would like to make a deal with you …"
"A deal?"
"There's a time limit for Black Lotus to carry out his mission. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me find Lu Li. If I'm not wrong, it hasn't been long since you activated your Life Providence. Your Life Providence's combat experience isn't rich either. I can provide books related to the Life Providence, "said Yan Zhenluo.
Lu Zhou did not agree immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Indeed, he needed knowledge about the Life Providence. The black lotus had monopolized the Life Providence Heart. Although the red lotus had records about the Life Providence, it lacked the experience of a large number of cultivators.
Yan Zhenluo saw through Lu Zhou's thoughts.
He continued to say, "You've activated three Life Providence, but you managed to defeat Yi Yao who had five Life Providence. It's clear that you have a great treasure. Even with the Sea Soul Pearl, Yi Yao couldn't turn the tables. It's only natural for such a great treasure to be concealed. "
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Zhou.
"Although the Life Providence is powerful, if you search for the Life Providence Heart purposefully, you'll be able to unleash the full power of the Life Providence. For example, Yi Yao isn't skilled in speed. However, he obtained the ability of speed by searching for a speed-type Birth Providence Beast. The Life Providence can greatly increase his speed. Apart from the Fire Kinesis Beasts, your other two Life Providences seem to have been wasted … There's a limit to the number of Life Providences a cultivator can activate. You can either use them to make up for your shortcomings or strengthen your strengths. "
Lu Zhou heard Yan Zhenluo's words.
It made sense.
"Yi Yao has a speed-type Birth Providence Heart?" Lu Zhou asked.
"That's right," Yan Zhenluo said.
It was one thing if he did not understand.
However, now that he understood, he felt like he had suffered a huge loss.
If he had known this would happen, he would have saved the first two Life Providences for his disciple. Defense was not of much use to him. Fire resistance and fire kinesis overlapped, after all.
Yan Zhenluo said, "You've already activated three Life Providences, sir. You should choose your next Life Providence carefully … To show my sincerity, a Birth Providence Beast will appear in this Great Stone Formation in the next seven days."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll snatch it from you?"
This meant that there would be another Ten-leaf cultivator in the capital.
Yan Zhenluo smiled faintly and said, "Because I'm hopeful about the future."
What an incongruous answer.
"We'll see when the time comes," Lu Zhou said.
Yan Zhenluo did not expect Lu Zhou to trust him right away.
It was not as if there had never been a fish that had escaped the Thousand Realms Whirling under the Black Tower's concept of breeding. There had been one in the red lotus world 2,000 years ago. However, it was swiftly dealt with by the Black Tower's council.
Those who managed to escape the Thousand Realms Whirling were not fools.
"There's something I need to remind you of, sir," Yan Zhenluo said.
"What is it?"
"You're from the Golden Lotus Domain. From what I know, the Golden Lotus Domain is weaker than the Red Lotus Domain. But now, a Thousand Realms Whirling had suddenly appeared. If nothing goes wrong, the Black Lotus will carry out a captive breeding plan on the golden lotuses, "Yan Zhenluo said.
Lu Zhou had a feeling this would happen.
But he didn't expect that Yan Zhenluo would say it.
'Yan Zhenluo is treating me as a noob in the Thousand Realms Whirling … But this is also good. I can get more information from Yan Zhenluo, even if it is just to confirm old information.'
"Do you only want to find Lu Li?" Lu Zhou asked.
"That's right."
"Just friends?"
"We've been through life and death together. We've been through life and death together," Yan Zhenluo said.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly.
"I have always been reasonable. We will talk about Lu Li after we see the Birth Chart Beast. What I can tell you is that Lu Li is safe. "
Yan Zhenluo cupped his hands and said,
"May I know how to address you?"
"My surname is Lu," Lu Zhou said.
"Brother Lu, farewell."
"Wait."
Lu Zhou said solemnly, "I believe you're telling the truth. However, if I find out you're lying, I'll take your life. Also …
"Don't threaten me with the Black Tower's council."
As soon as Lu Zhou finished speaking, the Deadly Strike Card in his hand vanished.
Lu Zhou glanced at Yan Zhenluo before vanishing.
Yan Zhenluo was the only one left inside the Huge Rock Formation in the forest. He seemed to be in a daze.
After what seemed like hours, Yan Zhenluo muttered to himself, "Are there really three Birth Charts? Could it be … that I'm wrong? "
He had a feeling that the Thousand Realms Whirling Golden Lotus had concealed its cultivation base and Birth Charts … Was it purposely acting weak?
"…"
Yan Zhenluo shook his head lightly.
He looked at the sun in the sky. Then, with a flash, he vanished.
…
Meanwhile.
In the shade of a hill outside the western part of the city.
A young man leaned against a rock and panted heavily.
"Lord Yi is dead! Lord Yi is dead … Fortunately, I was careful … What should I do? How am I going to contact the Black Tower? What should I do? "
A leisurely voice rang from the north of the rock.
"What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to do nothing …"
