He felt that he had underestimated his opponent and was not prepared for the first strike. However, the second strike allowed him to determine that his opponent's palm strength was greater than his defense. Conservatively speaking, he should be at least a Nine Birth Grid or even a Ten Birth Grid.
It did not make sense for the golden lotus domain to have such a cultivator.
He endured the pain, raised his hand, and chose to give up.
There was no need to continue the third strike.
Unless he was willing to sacrifice a Life Providence.
That was obviously not possible.
"My lord."
The White Tower members rushed over and helped him up.
With this support, his Qi and blood surged, and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I'm fine."
Ning Wanqing signaled his subordinates to let go.
The subordinate released his hand and retreated to the side with a worried expression.
He cupped his fists at Lu Zhou again. "Thank you for showing mercy, old mister."
Shen Xi: "…"
The insufferably arrogant White Tower would actually bow its head one day.
Who would believe this?
…
Lu Zhou looked at Ning Wanqing with satisfaction. 'This guy is tactful.'
Although he had used up quite a bit of his Profound Zenith Energy, being able to save a Critical Strike Card was still a good thing.
Moreover, this was a method of hitting targets. If it were a real battle, the Taixuan Power would not be so easy to hit.
The fact that Dijiang was able to dodge the attack of Taixuan Energy meant that it wasn't invincible.
Back then, the Black Tower's Eight Fate Judges, Wu Guangping's speed was still terrifying. If they really fought, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep this card.
He could only blame himself for choosing this method.
In terms of a head-on clash, even a Ten Birth Chart elite would not dare to take on all of his Great Profundity Power.
"Are you sure you don't want to take a third strike?" Lu Zhou asked.
Ning Wanqing said, "Old Mister's cultivation is profound. I am ashamed of my inferiority."
"It's good that you're aware of it," Lu Zhou said, "If I were to unleash my third palm strike, I'm afraid you'd lose your life."
Ning Wanqing found it hard to refute.
There was nothing much to be said about the winner being the king and the loser being the thief.
Moreover, he felt that the old man was telling the truth.
When he received the second palm strike, he felt a sense of helplessness.
He had only felt this way when he was facing the Tower Master.
…
A loser should have the awareness of a loser.
Ning Wanqing said, "Let Old Mister have this rune passageway. Secondly, I will not investigate the golden lotus domain anymore."
"Very good."
"However, I'm just a judge. I hope that you will keep the matter of the runic passageway a secret. If others find out, they will inevitably interfere, "Ning Wanqing said.
Shen Xi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. My Pavilion Master admires people who know how to adapt to circumstances. I'll take care of your reputation. "
Ning Wanqing revealed an awkward expression.
Lu Zhou said, "I hope you'll remember your words."
Ning Wanqing didn't say anything.
Lu Zhou turned around and walked toward the rune tunnel in the forest.
When they were out of sight, Ning Wanqing said, "Keep this a secret."
"Yes."
Of course, the subordinate knew that this kind of thing couldn't be spread around. The eight-fate judge had been defeated. If such a scandal were to spread, wouldn't they be looking for trouble for themselves?
"Sir, I have something to say."
"What is it?" Ning Wanqing's breathing gradually calmed down.
"That old man doesn't seem to be a simple golden lotus cultivator. The subordinate saw that when he struck out with his first palm, it was a genuine golden palm print, but there was a hint of blue in it. The second palm strike is basically a blue palm strike. "
Ning Wanqing was shocked. "Is this true?"
"Everything I say is true. I dare not hide anything from you."
Ning Wanqing's eyes darted around as he looked ahead. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
After a long moment of silence, Ning Wanqing said with a sigh, "No wonder."
"Sir, is there anything special about this?"
"There's nothing special. I've never heard of a blue lotus cultivator."
"…"
'What's there to be surprised about?'
"Are we really not going to investigate the White Guard's death?"
"That person's cultivation base should be around the Ten-leaf stage. There's no need to fight him head-on. Also, with such an elite, we can shift the blame to the Black Tower. Isn't it better to make the Black Tower suffer a little? "
"You're wise, sir."
"Go back and make some preparations. I have more important matters to attend to," Ning Wanqing said.
"Sir, are you really going to the Southern Red Lotus Summoning Land?"
Ning Wanqing nodded and said, "Our men have confirmed that a special Birth Chart Beast will appear in the Southern Red Lotus Summoning Land. The White Tower must take it down. We can't let the Black Tower benefit from it."
"Understood."
…
Meanwhile.
When Lu Zhou and Shen Xi arrived in the forest, they found the location of the rune tunnel after a simple search.
It was a circular circle of Formation veins that looked like stone slabs.
The circle was filled with complicated Formation veins and runes.
Many of the runes were like flowers, connecting into one.
After looking at it, Lu Zhou finally understood why a Rune Master was needed for this.
Just like blacksmiths, even an amateur would not be able to do this.
"This is the rune tunnel. I have some talismans with me that can activate the rune tunnel. I'll control it after we enter the tunnel. "
"Alright."
Lu Zhou said, "Head to the red lotus domain."
"Understood."
Shen Xi made an inviting gesture. "Please stand here."
Lu Zhou stood in the middle of the rune circle. At the same time, he called Di Jiang over.
Shen Xi stood in the middle of the group.
Then, he lit up the talismans. The runes on the talismans fell on the rune circle.
When the two came into contact, they suddenly lit up as though they were electrified.
The light formed a cylinder that enveloped the two of them.
Shortly after, the rune tunnel buzzed. It seemed as though their vision was blocked.
"We did it." Shen Xi was experienced. He was not flustered at all.
Lu Zhou did not feel anything. He felt as though he had entered a time warp.
Shortly after, he felt as though he was on a plane.
He felt as though he was on an airplane.
Shen Xi struck the rune circle with his palm. At this moment, Lu Zhou noticed that the rune circle's light resembled an astrolabe.
Shen Xi kept channeling his Primal Qi into it.
All of his Primal Qi entered the rune circle.
The radiant circle dragged the two of them up into the air.
"Be careful, Pavilion Master."
A strong sense of weightlessness washed over them.
There was also an endless sense of pressure.
It was suffocating.
It was no wonder one had to have a strong cultivation base and endurance to pass through the rune tunnel.
Anyone who was weak would find it difficult to endure this pressure.
…
Meanwhile.
The red lotus domain. The land of Zhao Nan.
Inside the triangular Formation flag's area.
Yu Shangrong did not look too good.
Yu Zhenghai's injuries had mostly healed. However, Yu Shangrong had not recovered from Tian Ming's poison spike.
The beasts in the surroundings did not disperse for even a moment.
"Second Junior Brother, we can't go on like this. Once that man dies, his life stone will be extinguished. The white tower will surely send someone to investigate. Contact my wise brother and ask him to think of a way. "Yu Zhenghai looked at the beasts around him.
Even if he could break the Formation flag, it would be difficult for him to bring Yu Shangrong out of the horde of beasts.
I didn't expect them to use poison spikes as well, "Yu Shangrong said as he shook his head.
At this moment.
Yu Zhenghai lit a talisman.
He brought out a formation cloth and placed it on the ground.
Shortly after, Si Wuya and the others appeared on the Formation Cloth's projection.
"Wise brother, I've missed you so much," Yu Zhenghai said without beating around the bush.
Yu Shangrong. "…"
Si Wuya. "…"
Every time he heard this, it meant that his Eldest Senior Brother had a favor to ask.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what happened?" Si Wuya asked.
Yu Zhenghai told Si Wuya everything that had happened.
Si Wuya frowned as he listened.
"Are you injured, Second Senior Brother?"
Yu Shangrong stood up. Apart from his pale expression, he looked fine.
"It's not that serious. Don't worry."
Si Wuya looked at Yu Shangrong's injuries and said, "It's a witchcraft poison spike."
"You recognize this poison spike?"
"Of course. Back then, Eldest Senior Brother hated Lou Lan the most. To deal with Lou Lan's grand shamans, I've studied many books on witchcraft. I've read about this before," Si Wuya said.
Yu Zhenghai smiled and said, "As expected of the Nether Sect's greatest military adviser."
Yu Shangrong. "…"
How could they take all the credit for themselves?
"How do I detoxify it?"
"Scrape the bones and force out the poison. Perhaps, there's a powerful shaman to help," Si Wuya said.
Yu Shangrong nodded.
He immediately sat down and drew his Longevity Sword.
"You can't, Second Senior Brother. It's too dangerous there," Si Wuya said.
"It's better than sitting around and waiting for death," Yu Shangrong said.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin leaped out from the projection and said, "I'll do it … Wait for me."
"Fourth Senior Brother?" Si Wuya asked.
"Don't worry, with Mr. Jaban around, it'll be a piece of cake."
…
While the two of them were chatting …
A voice rang in the air. It startled the beasts in the vicinity and sent them scurrying away. In just a blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
"Someone's here." What Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong dreaded the most had happened.
To the south of the triangular Formation Flag, a person stood on the back of a huge mount as he flew over slowly.
Chirp!
A piercing chirp resounded above the ruins.
In just a blink of an eye, the cultivator riding on the white Darkbird arrived above the ruins. He hovered in the air and looked at the triangular Formation Flag.
"What a piece of trash. What a waste of Formation Flags," the white-robed cultivator said angrily.
