Steady yourself.
He had already killed many of the Black and White Guards.
The merit points he earned were enough to buy a card.
Unless a group of judges came …
According to Si Wuya, the internal strife in the Black Tower was severe. At this time, the judges would not easily make a move.
When the silhouettes arrived in the distance, Lian Xing glanced at them, shook her head, and said helplessly, "Hei, Hei Wu Guards."
They were indeed Wu Hei Guards.
Lu Zhou stood calmly with his hands on his back as he looked at the two cultivators in black armor and wielding halberds.
Not only that … but the two of them were also carrying two other corpses, one black and one white. There were four of them in total.
The two of them suddenly moved to the left and right, then knelt down on one knee and cupped their fists, "Shen Xi pays respect to Senior! Please take me in, Senior! "
Lian Xing: "???"
Zhao Yue: "???"
Lu Zhou was slightly shocked as well. "Shen Xi?"
The newcomer was none other than Shen Xi, a member of the Dark Insignia Guard who had carried out a mission in the Red Lotus Domain.
Shen Xi took off his armor and helmet, revealing a squarish face with bloodshot eyes.
"Senior, I have nowhere else to run!" Shen Xi said directly.
"You're a Black Insignia Guard, and you serve the Black Tower. Yet, you want to submit to me?" Lu Zhou found this matter too comical.
After all, they had just fought a battle not too long ago.
Shen Xi said,
"We sent out a total of six people to Red Lotus, but we lost two … We thought that we could push the blame onto the beasts, but we didn't expect that the captain of the Onyx Guards who came with us would be forced to tell the truth. The Black Tower wants to sentence us to death on the grounds that the Onyx Guards are incompetent and concealing the truth! My brothers and I risked our lives to escape from the rune channel … I didn't expect the black tower to be so merciless and kill one of my brothers. Now, only Senior can save us! "
"How would I know if you're telling the truth?" Lu Zhou was not easily fooled.
Shen Xi said,
"Everything I said is true … This is proof."
He waved his arm.
He pointed at the two corpses.
One black and one white, they were the two cultivators with one birth chart who had just fled.
Lian Xing's pupils shrank. "You killed people from my White Tower?"
Shen Xi's eyes widened as he grabbed the halberd and retreated several meters. Despair filled his eyes as he asked, "You're also from the White Tower?"
These words were not only meant for Lian Xing, but for Lu Zhou as well.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "The white tower is nothing to me …"
Hearing this, Shen Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
He was scared to death.
Lu Zhou looked at the two corpses again. He shook his head and said, "What a pity …"
"A pity?" Shen Xi was confused.
"Go on." Lu Zhou gestured for him to continue.
Shen Xi nodded, and said, "After we escape, the Black Tower will definitely issue an arrest warrant. The two of us brothers only want to seek a place to settle down, so please take us in, Senior!"
"…"
Things suddenly got interesting.
"With your cultivation bases, you can flee to the ends of the world. The world is vast. There's no place for the two of you to stay." Lu Zhou asked.
Shen Xi sighed and took off her clothes …
A black lotus had been branded on his chest.
It was still fresh.
"Every time the Onyx Guard or the executor goes out to carry out a mission, there will be a strict time limit. Those who didn't return within the prescribed time would be wanted by the Black Tower. This time, the Black Tower was even more ruthless and branded this black lotus. Take out the heart, or go back. " Shen Xi was in a sorry state. "If I could escape, why would I come here? Why would I kill these two?"
Lian Xing revealed a sad smile and said,
"You can't escape … Hehe, you can't escape …"
Lu Zhou raised his hand.
A gust of wind swept past Lian Xing's face.
Pa!
Her pretty face immediately swelled up.
"Is it your place to interrupt when I'm talking?"
Lian Xing: "..."
She was stunned by the slap.
Lu Zhou looked at Shen Xi and continued to say, "You've been branded with a black lotus. The black tower will use this as a bait to find you. Your tactic of killing with a borrowed knife is not bad. "
Shen Xi jumped in fright when he heard the phrase 'borrowing a knife to kill someone'.
"I have absolutely no such intentions! Old Senior's cultivation is profound … I think that even Wu Guangping is no match for you, so the Black Tower won't dare to act rashly. During this period of time, we can eliminate the black lotus, and we two brothers will be able to escape with our lives! "Shen Xi added." Shen Xi's words are all true. If there is even half a lie, I will die a horrible death! "
Lu Zhou stared at Shen Xi intently and said,
"You're more afraid of death than an ordinary person."
Shen Xi looked up. He did not know why Lu Zhou said this.
Lu Zhou stared at Shen Xi and enunciated each word forcefully, "Your brothers are also … afraid of death. Back then, when I fought the six of you, three of your men survived, and the other team lost two men. How can such a cowardly person enter this old man's eyes? "
Shen Xi's face turned red. He could not say a word.
His brothers could not take it anymore. They tugged at Shen Xi and said, "Big Brother Shen, let's go. Stop begging. The world is vast, but there's always a place to stand! Let's go … "
A mocking smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"You're showing some backbone now."
Shen Xi sighed heavily. He stood up and cupped his fists helplessly at Lu Zhou. "Perhaps, this is our fate. Sorry for the disturbance … "
"Wait," Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.
"Hm?"
"You want to live?" Lu Zhou asked.
Shen Xi nodded.
If he did not want to live, he would not have come here.
Lu Zhou lowered his voice and said solemnly, "It's fine if you want to live, but do you know my rules?"
Shen Xi was overjoyed. He bowed and said, "What is it, Senior Lu?"
Lu Zhou said, "Zhao Yue, tell them."
Zhao Yue said, "Those who wish to join the Evil Sky Pavilion must abide by the following rules. First, fellow disciples are not allowed to kill each other. Second, those who join the Evil Sky Pavilion must sever all ties with their past. Third, they must not deceive their masters and ancestors, and disobey their superiors. Fourth …"
Lu Zhou suddenly had a complicated feeling. He raised a hand to interrupt Zhao Yue.
"In short, I'm the one who calls the shots in the Evil Sky Pavilion. That includes your life. "
Lu Zhou's words summed it all up.
Shen Xi said, "Of course."
Lu Zhou added, "Once you join the Evil Sky Pavilion, you'll only encounter more enemies. They'll surely be a hundred or even ten thousand times more powerful than the black tower and white tower. Perhaps, you'll lose your lives tonight. I must warn you that joining the Evil Sky Pavilion may not be a good thing. Don't be hasty in making a decision. Think about it carefully. I'll give you ten minutes. "
"…"
Shen Xi had already decided to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. However, when she heard this, she was shocked.
'The Evil Sky Pavilion … is capable of this?'
In the cultivation world, the strong preyed on the weak. It was the survival of the fittest. Sometimes, one could lose their life if they were not careful.
Whether it was the black tower, white tower, or the sects under the heavens, there was no place that could solve everything once and for all that was absolutely peaceful.
The ten minutes were about to pass.
Lu Zhou sighed and shook his head. "It seems like you're not suited for the Evil Sky Pavilion … You should fend for yourselves."
As soon as Lu Zhou finished speaking, Shen Xi and his brother fell to their knees and said in unison, "I'm willing to join the Evil Sky Pavilion!"
"Have you thought it through?"
"Yes," Shen Xi said resolutely.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. "Since you've thought it through … I'll bestow both of you with the position of Protector. From now on, you'll share the Evil Sky Pavilion's glory and destruction. Can you do that?"
"Subordinate Shen Xi pays respect to Pavilion Master!" Shen Xi said.
"Subordinate Li Xiaomo greets Pavilion Master!"
"Ding! Obtained two subordinates. Reward: 2,000 merit points."
