Chapter 1644: Heaven-Defying Power (1)

Lu Zhous eyes were bright as he stared at Zhu Honggong.

Zhu Honggong felt his hair stand on end when he saw Lu Zhous gaze. Then, he hastily said, I swear to the heavens if theres even a little bit of falsehood in my words, Id be struck by five lightning bolts!

Lu Zhou had heard about Qi Sheng many times. His fourth disciple and eighth disciples judgments were completely opposite of each other.

Lu Zhou was certain Zhu Honggong did not dare to lie. If that was the case, then perhaps, his seventh disciple had truly come back to life. Naturally, he still had many doubts. There was the fact that the Resurrection Scroll failed to bring his seventh disciple back to life and that he could not observe his seventh disciple with the power of sight.

Wheres he now? Lu Zhou asked.

Hes now the Commander of Tu Wei Hall, and hes in charge of the commanders compet.i.tion. He also told us not to reveal your existence and to follow his plan by seizing the positions of commanders in the ten halls, Zhu Honggong said.

Plan?

Yes. The plan is to seize the positions of commander. He said we can only become hall masters after becoming commanders. Only by becoming hall masters can we obtain the Heaven Suppressing Pestles, Zhu Honggong replied with a nod.

The Heaven Suppressing Pestles?

Lu Zhou recalled the Heaven Suppressing Pestle he obtained from Emperor Yu in the Great Abyss Land. Until now, he still had not figured out the use of it. He asked unhurriedly, Why is he looking to obtain the Heaven Suppressing Pestles?

Zhu Honggong looked troubled as he scratched his ears and cheeks. Then, he said, Ill have to ask Seventh Senior Brother about this. He said theyre very useful. The Ten Pillars of Destruction corresponds with the Ten Heaven Suppressing Pestles. As for their uses, Im not really sure. Master, its not like you dont know Seventh Senior Brother. Hes always talking about inexplicable things like the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing. Something about mankind is in imminent danger and that everything is in a mess.

It was probably too much to expect Zhu Honggong to understand these things.

All of a sudden, Zhu Honggong smacked his thigh and cried out, Thats right! Seventh Senior Brother has already obtained five Heaven Suppressing Pestles. Based on his speed, it wont be long before you know about everything.

Five? Lu Zhou was inwardly surprised.

Based on Emperor Yus att.i.tude, the Heaven Suppressing Pestle is clearly not an ordinary item. However, Qi Sheng managed to obtain five Heaven Suppressing Pestles? Is it really possible that Qi Sheng is Old Seventh?

Zhu Honggong said, Yan Feng Hall, Xuan Meng Hall, and Qiang Yu Hall voluntarily gave him the Heavenly Suppressing Pestle. He naturally has access to Tu Wei Halls Heaven Suppressing Pestle. After Emperor Tu Weis death, the people in Tu Wei are without a leader. As for the fifth one Then, he paused and looked around before he said in a hushed tone, Master, I suspect Seventh Senior Brother has something going on with Lan Xihe!

Pa!

Zhu Honggong slapped his mouth again before he said, Im just guessing. I dont have any real evidence. Anyway, after obtaining the five Heaven Suppressing Pestles, Seventh Senior Brother told me to come to Xuanyi Palace to get a feel of Emperor Xuanyis att.i.tude. Dont you think hes trying to make things difficult for me?

Lu Zhou looked at Zhu Honggong with his hands on his back and asked, Have you ever thought that he might not be your Seventh Senior Brother and that youve fallen into his trap? What if hes using you?

Zhu Honggong was stunned. He did not say anything for a long time.

Lu Zhous judgment was the same as the four elders. From all the signs, Qi Sheng should be his seventh disciple. Among his disciples, he had spent the most time with Si Wuya so he thought he had quite a good understanding of Si Wuya. However, it was not impossible that these were all just tricks meant to fool everyone.

Qi Sheng had either intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he was Si Wuya, but he had never directly confessed. No one knew the reason why.

Zhu Honggong thought that his master made a lot of sense. He suddenly cursed, Very good! So hes a liar! Ive tarnished my reputation for a lifetime because of him! I was almost deceived by a villain!

Lu Zhou said, Its too early for us to draw a conclusion. Well discover the truth eventually.

Zhu Honggong said, Master is right! If hes really a fake, you have to punish him severely and avenge us, master! He has ordered us around for decades!

Lu Zhou said, Since he already has five Heaven Suppressing Pestles, hell naturally find ways to obtain the others.

The Great Abyss Lands Heaven Suppressing Pestle was in Lu Zhous hand, after all. Sooner or later, he would meet Qi Sheng.

That person is very cunning. Sooner or later, hell gather all ten Heaven Suppressing Pestles, Zhu Honggong said. Then, he pointed in the direction of the Sacred Temple and complained indignantly, Master, you dont know how cunning and terrifying he is. The recent incident in Xuan Meng Hall was planned by him alone. What kind of character was the grand shaman of the Great Void? However, he killed that grand shaman so easily!

Lu Zhou said indifferently, Do you really think he has the power to kill Wu Zu? He only relied on the power of the Sacred Temple.

Zhu Honggong chuckled. Master is right. I dont know what happened, but after chatting with master, Im no longer muddle-headed. My mind is very clear now! Master really woke me up with just one sentence! I was so foolish in the past!

Alright. Thats enough. Lu Zhou could not be bothered to listen to Zhu Honggongs flattery. He said, No matter what his purpose is, dont tell anyone anything for the time being. Return to the Sacred Temple and pretend that nothing happened today.

Lu Zhou could not make too big of a commotion before he activated all 36 Birth Charts. Moreover, he had a feeling that Ming Xin was planning something as well.

Tu Wei and Wu Zu had fallen, but Ming Xin did not care at all. He even allowed a few Emperors of the Lost Lands to take the owners of the Great Void Seeds. It did not make sense at all. He was the Temple Master of the Sacred Temple and the person with the highest status in the Great Void. Logically speaking, he should cherish his position very much. However, apart from the balance, he did not seem to care about anything at all.
