Chapter 1686: The Unholy One Reappears

For some reason, Lan Xihe could not help but feel that she had lost control in her own territory. Lu Zhous imposing manner seemed to dominate the scene. Nonetheless, she was not angry. Instead, she was inwardly jumping for joy. Her previous indecisiveness had completely disappeared at this moment.

Luo Xiu was puzzled. Who was the Hall Master of Xihe Hall exactly? Who was this person who suddenly appeared, and why was he so aggressive and unreasonable? Finally, he asked in return, What if I refuse to answer?

As soon as Luo Xius voice fell, Lu Zhou flashed, leaving an afterimage in his wake, before he struck Luo Xiu with his palm.

Boom!

Luo Xiu was shocked and instinctively raised his hand to defend himself. Alas, he did not expect Lu Zhous palm strike to defy s.p.a.ce and time, hitting his shoulder.

Luo Xiu leaned back 30 degrees and slid back. When he reached the threshold of the hall, he suddenly stopped and froze. He felt pain in his shoulder.

Captain!

Captain Luo!

The opponent is very strong! He can control time and s.p.a.ce, and hes not weaker than Captain Luo!

/

Luo Xiu stared at Lu Zhou. He had obviously misjudged Lu Zhous strength and determination.

Silence descended on Xihe Hall.

Lu Zhous hand was still raised while the other was placed on his back. After a few seconds, he withdrew his raised hand and said, Ill only say it once. You better answer honestly and be grateful for this chance.

Luo Xiu was not stupid. He could sense Lu Zhous aura was not quite right. Moreover, there was Lan Xihe and Ouyang Ziyun who were on the same side. He knew he could not fight directly at this time. In the end, he could only answer honestly, Theres a branch in the congregation dedicated to studying the life of the Unholy One, his cultivation path, his deeds, and even the place he died. Everyone knows the Unholy One died in the Great Abyss Land, but no one knew he left the painting behind before he died. It took the congregation 1,000 years to find this painting in the Great Abyss Land.

Is this true? Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. He had no impression of this in his mind. Clearly, the Unholy Ones memories did not contain this specific memory. There were also no memories of the Great Void War and the ambush. He also did not know the Unholy One fell in the Great Abyss Land.

Luo Xiu said, I dislike lying. Whether you believe me or not, its up to you.

Ill believe you for now. If I find out youre lying, I definitely wont let you get away with it, Lu Zhou said.

May I ask if we can trade now? Luo Xiu asked.

Lu Zhou turned and glanced at Lan Xihe.

Wait a moment, Lan Xihe said with a nod before she left the main hall. It did not take long before she returned with an object wrapped with a cloth in her hands.

Everyones eyes were focused on the object in Lan Xihes hands.

Lan Xihe unwrapped the cloth directly and said, This is the Heaven Suppressing Pestle of Xihe Hall which corresponds to Ping Dans Pillar of Destruction.

It looked like a small unopened green umbrella. It was very exquisite. It resembled the Great Abyss Lands Heaven Suppressing Pestle in Lu Zhous possession, but it was different at the same time. The Great Abyss Lands Heaven Suppressing Pillar was thicker, st.u.r.dier, and a few times bigger. The patterns on it could be clearly seen. They looked like fine hair that could move with a blow of the wind.

Luo Xius eyes brightened as soon as he saw the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. His entire person became much more spirited. He quickly ordered his subordinates, Bring the Ancestral Jade and the Unholy Ones painting over.

Understood.

Two of Luo Xius stepped forward and handed the two treasures over.

Although Lan Xihe felt slightly reluctant, she still handed the Heaven Suppressing Pestle over.

Luo Xiu took the Heaven Suppressing Pestle with both hands and quickly hugged it before he said with a smile, Thank you, Holy Maiden.

Dont forget your promise. You must return it in five days, Lan Xihe said.

Of course, Luo Xiu said, Lets go.

Wait, Lu Zhou called out before he said, You said before that youre still looking for the Great Abyss Lands Heaven Suppressing Pillar?

Thats right, Luo Xiu replied with a nod.

Have you found it? Lu Zhou asked.

Luo Xiu smiled. You dont have to worry about that. We already have a clue. I believe well find it very soon.

After saying that, Luo Xiu turned and left.

Ouyang Ziyun moved to Lu Zhous side and asked, Youre just letting him go like that? It doesnt seem like your style.

My style? My style has always been very reasonable

Hell come looking for me again, Lu Zhou said confidently.

Hell look for you? Ouyang Ziyun asked, puzzled. He did not know Lu Zhou possessed the Great Abyss Lands Pillar of Destruction, after all.

At this moment, Lan Xihe suddenly said, Its not right.

Lu Zhou and Ouyang Ziyun looked over.

Lan Xihe opened the scroll and said, Its been switched.

The painting looked exactly the same. It also emitted a faint mysterious aura. Even the poem was the same. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that it was fake. After all, it did not have the energy that pulled on ones consciousness.

Lu Zhou smiled and said, I expected it.

Huh?

Ouyang Ziyun and Lan Xihe were stunned.

Lu Zhou said, I left the divine Dao power on his shoulder.

The divine Dao power?

Ouyang Ziyun and Lan Xihe were confused.

What the h.e.l.l is the divine Dao power? Ive never heard of it!

Theres no such thing as free lunch in the world. Ill be right back, Lu Zhou said before he flashed and disappeared from the hall.

Lan Xihe looked outside the hall and said emotionally, Pavilion Master Lu and I didnt know each other for a long time so I didnt expect him to be so concerned about Xihe Hall

Ouyang Ziyun:

Lan Xihe continued to say, Its a pity that he entered the Great Void, and his aura is too strong. He was a little too domineering during the commanders compet.i.tion so he had offended a lot of people.

Ouyang Ziyun could not hold it in any longer so he said, Holy Maiden, youre wrong.

Wrong? Lan Xihe did not know what Ouyang Ziyung meant.

Ouyang Ziyun gritted his teeth before he revealed a helpless expression on his face as he said, Very well. There are some things that you have to know sooner or later.

Lan Xihe grew curious when she saw the solemn expression on Ouyang Ziyuns face.

Ouyang Ziyun said, Its very likely that painting belongs to him.

Lan Xihe:

At the same time, Lu Zhou looked like a shooting star as he flew in the sky, pa.s.sing through countless mountains and rivers. In just a blink of an eye, he had traveled more than 60 miles away.

At this moment, he saw dozens of towering mountains in front of him. Their peaks were hidden above the clouds, and the mist swirling around them made them look mysterious.

Lu Zhou came to a stop and hovered in the air. Then, he closed his eyes to sense the mark of the divine Dao power that he had left on Luo Xiu. When he was done, he looked at the mountains and said in a deep voice, I have always been reasonable. Since you disregarded ethics first, dont blame me for being ruthless.

Lu Zhou flashed, using the great power of teleportation over and over again. While he was in Xihe Hall, he had silently used the Purple Glazed Ceramic so he had recovered much of his divine Dao power. As for his divine power, he had an almost limitless supply now so he could use the great power of teleportation over and over again.

Lu Zhou appeared on each of the peaks, taking only one breath each time as he searched for his target.

At this time, below one of the mountain peaks.

Luo Xiu held the Heaven Suppressing Pestle with a smug expression on his face as he said, Xihe Halls Holy Maiden is only average. Did she think everything will be alright just because she found an expert?

Captain is wise.

Luo Xiu looked at the Heaven Suppressing Pestle and continued to say, Theyre really brainless. How can we exchange such precious treasures just for the Heaven Suppressing Pestle?

Everyone has a weakness, after all, and everyone wishes to gain the upper hand in a deal. The Holy Maiden is no different even if she was hesitant.

Luo Xiu nodded. This can be considered a lesson for them.

Captain Luo, are we really going to return the Heaven Suppressing Pestle after five days?

Luo Xiu snickered. If he didnt strike me, I might have considered it. After all, the congregation doesnt need more enemies. However

Captain is wise. You really toyed with those three people.

Some people are born stupid, and some people are born smart. This is something that cant be changed no matter how long one lived, Luo Xiu said gloatingly.

As soon as Luo Xius voice fell, a dignified voice rang from the sky.

Is that so?

Huh?

Luo Xiu and his subordinates looked up. Initially, they could not see clearly, but after the soundwave dissipated, they saw a figure looking down at them.

Its you?! Luo Xiu frowned.

Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back as he hovered in the air. His expression was frosty as he said, Ive killed more people than you can imagine. You dare to play tricks in front of me when youre so young?

Luo Xiu and his subordinates retreated immediately. It was as though they were facing a great enemy.

Luo Xiu asked, perplexed, How did you find us?

Lu Zhou naturally could not be bothered to answer the question. He only said, Hand over the Unholy Ones painting, the Ancestral Jade, and the Heaven Suppressing Pestle.

Luo Xiu continued to retreat as he thought to himself, Hows this possible?

Lu Zhou advanced every time they retreated, always maintaining the same distance. He extended his hand and said, Hand those things over, and Ill grant you a quick death.

You want to kill and rob us? Luo Xiu asked with a grim expression.

Do you think youre very smart? You still want to quibble at this time? Lu Zhou said icily, Before you die, do you have any last words?

When Luo Xiu sensed Lu Zhous killing intent, he said decisively, Lets go!

The six people stomped on the ground and flew toward the furthest mountain peak at lightning speed, activating their protective energies at the same time.

Lu Zhou flashed, using his great power of teleportation.

Buzz!

A huge avatar that was like a Buddha appeared in front of the six people. Due to its sudden appearance, they could not stop in time and crashed into one another.

Then, the avatar expanded and sent all of them flying.

Boom!

Five of them were sent flying back while Luo Xiu plummeted to the ground.

When Luo Xiu looked up at the avatar, he sneered. So hes not a supreme being?

Bang!

Luo Xiu smacked his hands on the ground and flew toward Lu Zhou. The energy seals around him merged into what looked like a light saber. Killing intent surged from his body as he charged out, determined to cleave the avatar into two.

Bang!

At this time, faint blue electric arcs shot out from the avatars hand and circled it as they rapidly expanded.

Boom!

Luo Xiu realized he had seriously misjudged his opponents strength. After the collision, he felt dizzy, and there was a sharp and piercing pain in both his ears.

Time seemed to slow down as the light saber was shattered. Following that, a ferocious energy swept out and destroyed Luo Xius protective energy and shredded his robes. A sense of discomfort washed through his body, and he felt like his arm was broken. He looked at the avatar with widened eyes and a confused expression.

Swoos.h.!.+

Lu Zhou appeared in front of the avatar; he was two feet away from Luo Xiu. His divine mark robe fluttered in the air, and the dazzling eyes of the avatar shone behind him, making him look mysterious. He did not look any weaker than a divine emperor at this time.

Luo Xiu felt chills running up his spine when he saw the killing intent in Lu Zhous eyes.

Lu Zhou raised his right hand slightly before he flipped it down. The unique sound of energy resonance rang in the air as a golden palm seal with the words Flawed Perfection appeared.
