There was a cloud in the sky that blocked their vision, causing the Onyx Insignia Guards to be unable to see clearly. They only saw a flash of lightning and thunder before the sky returned to normal. His Excellency was a powerhouse with eight fates. He should have returned to the Black Lotus through the rune passage …
Fake, it must be fake.
Stay calm. Don't panic.
How could he be killed?
Impossible.
They had fought Lu Zhou before.
If he really went all out, he might be able to defeat him. But compared to eight birth providences … it was far from enough.
They didn't believe it.
The Blackguard captain on the left suddenly felt the talisman on his body move. He immediately took out a talisman and swiped it with his finger. The talisman burned and turned into a piece of paper with a sentence written on it.
Lord Adjudicator, Wu Guangping's life stone has been extinguished.
"…"
…
There was no other message, just a simple sentence.
However, it made the Onyx Guard's eyes widen, and his hand that was holding onto the paper trembled slightly.
The other captain of the Insignia Guard sensed that something was amiss. With a wave of his hand, the letter was sucked into his hand and he took a closer look.
"Ah."
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and his body swayed a little. The remaining two Insignia Guards received the message, and after reading it, they were no less shocked than the two captains.
Wu Guangping, the Judge of Eight Fate, was dead.
The person who killed him was staring at them with a burning gaze from the nearby horizon.
This feeling was very stifling. It was as if they had tasted fine wine for a long time only to be suddenly told that it was horse piss.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
The four of them calmed themselves down and looked at Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air.
Lu Zhou and Si Wuya looked at them as well.
"Follow me closely. Don't move without my permission," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes."
Something stirred in Si Wuya's heart. With a calm expression, he followed his master and flew toward the four Insignia Guards.
Lu Zhou's expression was calm. He knew there was a tiger in the mountain, but he still chose to go there.
He had to scare them.
Lu Zhou and Si Wuya stopped dozens of meters away from the Blackwatch Guards.
His gaze landed on the four of them.
His expression seemed to be saying, "Do you still need this old man to invite you?"
The four Black Insignia Guards weren't fools … They could tell what this expert was trying to say. Flustered, they hurriedly flew out of the forest to a distance of ten meters away, their faces filled with awkwardness.
Just a moment ago, they were still mortal enemies, but now, they were like old friends reuniting.
Lu Zhou's expression remained calm.
Si Wuya appeared calm.
"Do you want to live?" Lu Zhou asked.
"If we didn't want to live, why would we injure ourselves?" The four of them clutched their chests, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
"If you want to live, I will ask and you will answer."
The four Onyx Guards looked at each other and nodded.
"What's your name?" Lu Zhou asked.
He noticed that among the six Insignia Guards, this person was the one who had been deliberately guiding the others.
"I am Shen Xi, the captain of the Indomitable Black Guards." Shen Xi didn't hide anything.
Lu Zhou.
"Was that a Black Tower Inquisitor?"
Shen Xi said, "Black Tower Adjudicator Wu Guangping."
Lu Zhou fell silent.
Shen Xi understood and also realized that it wasn't appropriate to call him 'Lord' in front of such an expert, so he continued, "Wu Guangping is extremely active in the Black Tower's parliament, and is one of the representatives of the radical faction. More than 1,000 years ago, he supported the Great Void Plan to purge the red lotus domain. However, the conservative faction opposed it. More than 300 years ago, he participated in the Great Void Plan and was one of the few cultivators who survived. After the Great Void Plan, Wu Guangping went from bad to worse. He has been requesting the higher-ups to oversee the red lotus domain. Today … is his first day in the red lotus domain. "
'He's dead on the first day?
Well, there's nothing I can do about it. If I don't kill him, he'll kill me. '
The strong preyed on the weak. There was no one to blame.
Lu Zhou asked, "The Great Void Plan?"
Shen Xi looked to his left and right. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Back then, the Black Tower's parliament joined forces with the Royal family, the Dark Radiance Alliance, and other factions to select elites to head to the unknown lands in search of the Great Void Seed. I've only heard about it from the higher-ups in the council of elders. However, they didn't say anything about it. I've spent many treasures, but I don't know how much it's worth. "
Si Wuya was puzzled.
"You know about the Great Void Seed?"
"It's said that it's a supreme treasure that's beneficial to cultivation. It's born in the unknown lands. However, I've always suspected that this is a lie. The heavens have set the rules for human cultivation. Why would they allow others to take shortcuts? "Shen Xi said as he expressed his opinion.
Si Wuya said with a smile, "What do you think of me?"
In other words, he was implying that he had the Great Void aura on him. 'Are all of you blind? Can't you tell?'
Shen Xi sized Si Wuya up before he nodded.
He nodded and said, "You're a talented man with an imposing appearance. If I'm not mistaken, you cultivate a Confucian cultivation method, right? "
Si Wuya. "…"
'That doesn't make sense.'
'Forget it.'
There was only one conclusion to this. These people did not know about the Great Void aura on him.
Lu Li, Dijiang, and Wu Guangping knew about it … Did they have a special mount and a cultivator with a profound cultivation base?
"I've cultivated some Confucian cultivation methods … However, I've also cultivated Daoism and Buddhism," Si Wuya replied. Then, he asked, "Do you know how to get to the unknown lands?"
"I'm not sure. All I know is that to get to the unknown lands, I'll have to fight the beasts. The beasts don't come in groups like we do now … They come in packs and are extremely ferocious. There are records of the beasts in the history books of the black lotus domain. There are countless beasts under the heavens. They walk on land, swim in the sea, and soar in the sky … They're much more powerful and numerous than humans, "Shen Xi said.
Lu Zhou was speechless.
"How many Birth Chart Beasts do the Black Insignia Guards monopolize every year?"
Shen Xi replied, "Not many. Sometimes, they have two or three. Sometimes, they don't even have one."
"Based on this number, the red lotus domain should have accumulated many Ten-leaf experts over the past 2,000 years, right? Why are there so few of them? "Si Wuya was puzzled.
This reminded him of the world of the golden lotus.
Back then, the golden lotus had attempted to reach the Nine-leaf stage because the golden lotus absorbed one's lifespan. Hence, there were not many of them. A Ten-leaf red lotus cultivator should have a lifespan of 3,000 years. There should not be so few of them. The clever thing about the golden lotus domain was that it told a huge lie to convince others that the Nine-leaf stage did not exist.
Shen Xi sighed.
"Some were killed, and some were imprisoned by the black lotus domain. Sometimes, it's not always easy to monopolize the Birth Chart Beasts. For example, there were so many Ten-leaf cultivators here today. If everything went smoothly, the black tower's executive board would have waited in the stone forest Formation in advance. "
"Is that why you used a spokesperson to control the red lotus domain?" Si Wuya applauded.
Shen Xi and the others exchanged an awkward look.
They could not deny this.
Lu Zhou.
"Did all of you come here through the runic passageway?"
"Uh …"
Shen Xi stammered.
Lu Zhou said, "If I wanted to kill you, I would've done so a long time ago. Wu Guangping's dead, and the internal conflict in the black tower will intensify. The secrets you've been guarding will be discovered sooner or later. Do you think nobody will tell me if you don't tell me? "
Shen Xi was shocked.
'That's right …'
If nobody told him about the black lotus domain, how did he manage to embed the Birth Chart, how did he possess such great combat strength, and how did he kill Yi Yao?
"Puny Black Guards, don't overestimate yourself. I'm giving you a chance, so you should cherish it."
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back.
His expression was indifferent.
Caw —
Dijiang circled around the horizon where Wu Guangping had disappeared and flew back.
Even Wu Guangping, one of the Four Great Adjudicators, ended up like this? What right did the Insignia Guard have to negotiate?
Shen Xi said,
"It is indeed a runic passage."
Lu Zhou extended his wizened hand and said, "Give me all the information about the runic passageway, and I'll let you go. This old man is a man of his word and a man of his actions. "
