Chapter 924: Living In Fear Of Being Beaten Up

Early in the morning the next day.

After the heavy downpour in the capital yesterday, everything seemed to have been washed clean. It was refreshing like a mountain painting.

It was quiet and peaceful in the ruins.

Three black figures could be seen speeding over from afar. Soon after, they came to a stop above the ruins. All of them were dressed in black armor, black helmets, and black masks. The trio stood in a triangle formation as they surveyed their surroundings. They could feel the leftover battle energy in their surroundings.

After a moment, the person on the left said, “Captain, although the aura is weak, this should be the place…”

The armored man standing in the lead nodded slightly. “That idiot, Zhang Ximing, is dead. We have no contact in the red lotus domain anymore.”

“What should we do next?”

“We’ll follow the council elder’s instructions. It’s not appropriate to start a massacre. We can’t disrupt the captive breeding plan. First, check the stone formations and repair all the damages. At the same time, we’ll look for a suitable contact.”

The two people behind him nodded.

The captain continued to say, “Moreover, the life heart that we’d lost recently should be in the possession of the new expert who appeared in the red lotus domain. The death of Yi Yao, a lower council member, is probably related to this person. Someone who can kill Yi Yao is definitely not simple. Therefore, do not confront this person alone. Since he dares to go against the Black Tower Council, he should have some force backing him.”

The average blackguard had four Birth Charts. Yi Yao had five Birth Charts, and at the time of his death, he possessed the Sea Spirit Pearl. Even then, he still died. For this reason, the trio was extremely cautious.

“I agree. Someone who can kill Yi Yao and openly opposes the Black Tower Council isn’t someone we should confront alone.”

The person on the right nodded before he said, “I’m curious. Yan Zhenluo and Yi Yao were out on the same mission. Yan Zhenluo’s claim that he got lost just doesn’t seem credible to me…”

“Yan Zhenluo has a close relationship with Lu Li. Now that Lu Li has disappeared, it’s normal that he’s distracted.”

At this moment, the captain raised his hand to interrupt the other two men and said, “Our main focus is to do as the council elder instructed us to do. We can investigate this matter later. When the time comes, we can report to the higher-ups and request for more blackguards or ask the Court of Justice to take action. As for Zhang Ximing’s death, there’s no need to investigate it…”

“The Court of Justice? Will they take action? I’m afraid the other forces will be unhappy.”

The leader shook his head and said, “I have a feeling the captive breeding plan will be disrupted. At that time, it won’t be as simple as a war between the red lotus domain and the black lotus domain. Moreover, the internal strife in the Black Tower Council is too deep. If the Court of Justice doesn’t take action, I’m afraid there will be people taking the initiative to disrupt the plan. As for now, let’s now dwell on the Thousand Realms Whirling expert in the red lotus domain. There will be others who rush to take action. Just do your job and remember that your survival is the most important thing!”

“Captain is wise.”

“Let’s go.”

The trio flashed and vanished into thin air.

In the royal palace’s Preservation Hall.

In order to supervise his disciples’ cultivation, he had ordered them not to leave the palace without permission. All of them were to focus on their cultivation.

Starting from Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, he would coach and assess them every two days.

In less than a month after this started, the expressions of Lu Zhou’s disciples changed greatly. It felt as though they had returned to the past where they lived in fear of being beaten up. This was especially true for Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, the two eldest disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion. The duo was tortured every day by their master, making their junior brothers and junior sisters unable to look at them. The duo’s lofty and majestic image in the hearts of their juniors had completely collapsed recently.

Lu Zhou naturally did not care about these things. In his opinion, his methods were way more humane compared to Ji Tiandao’s methods. He even patiently explained and demonstrated to them things they did not understand.

One afternoon, the four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion made their way to the Preservation Hall. When they arrived, they saw Duanmu Sheng standing in front of the hall with the Overlord Spear in his hand.

The four elders were not these people’s masters so they did not have the right to interfere. Therefore, they only watched from afar.

Soon after, Lu Zhou emerged from the hall. He glanced at Duanmu Sheng curiously. “OId Third?”

Duanmu Sheng said straightforwardly, “Master, Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother aren’t feeling well today; Seventh Junior Brother is teaching junior nephew to cultivate; Ninth Junior Sister and Little Junior Sister are practicing movement techniques.”

Lu Zhou frowned before he said, “If they don’t show up today, the next time they show up, it’ll be double of what it usually is…”

As soon as Lu Zhou finished speaking, a voice instantly rang from afar.

“Disciple greets master!”

In just a moment, Yu Zhenghai could be seen in the distance.

When the four elders looked over, they saw Yu Zhenghai’s face was swollen and riddled with bruises. He seemed a little embarrassed as he made his way over.

Soon enough, Yu Shangrong appeared as well with his Longevity Sword in his hand. However, apart from his strangely slow walking speed, he looked no different from usual.

The two eldest disciples stood in front of Lu Zhou and bowed.

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Previously, I demonstrated the key trick of the Great Dark Heaven Memorial. Today, you will show what you’ve learned.”

At this moment, Yu Shangrong bowed again before he raised his head and said, “Master, I have something to say.”

“Speak.”

“Third Junior Brother has only been watching us recently. I’m sure he has many questions in his heart,” Yu Shangrong said with a straight face.

Indeed. During this time, most of his focus was on his eldest and second disciple. He should treat his disciples equally.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He looked at Duanmu Sheng and said, “That’s good… Old Third, I’ll focus more on you in the coming days. Come here.”

In the past month, the increase in merit points had slowed down a lot when Lu Zhou educated Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He had discovered that he could obtain merit points when he taught his disciples new things or share new insights with them. Since Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong had a deep understanding of cultivation, it was rather easy to teach them. Therefore, he could only earn points by giving them demonstrations. For this reason, the merit points he gained from the duo were rather pitiful. Unless their cultivation grew more profound and he could share new insights with them, he would gain very little merit points from them.

“Ah?” Duanmu Sheng was stunned.

Yu Zhenghai waved his hand and said, “Master wants you to go over. Third Junior Brother, it’s finally your turn.”

Duanmu Sheng thought that since his two senior brothers were still alive, there was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, he had always been tenacious. Therefore, he walked over without any fear. “Master.”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Among your fellow disciples, your aptitude is the worst, but you’re the most diligent. Hard work can make up for many things, unlike empty words. I’ve always been aware of your diligence.”

Duanmu Sheng was moved when he heard his master’s words.

“Show me your Divine One Technique,” Lu Zhou prompted.

“Understood.”

Duanmu Sheng did not waste time and brandished the Overlord Spear in front of the hall. In the beginning, his speed was not particularly fast. However, it gradually grew fast like the wind and the shadow to a violent storm. Sometimes it was like the gurgling of a stream and sometimes it was like the surging of the sea. Every move was perfect and precise.

When Duanmu Sheng was done, he returned to stand in front of Lu Zhou. His face was not red nor was he panting.

After watching his third disciple’s demonstration, Lu Zhou nodded and asked, “Are you still sparring with Elder Hua?”

Duanmu Shen replied honestly, “We sparred ten times last month, out of which I won six times due to luck. However, after Elder Hua obtained the Square Box, I only managed to win thrice…”

Hua Wudao. “…”

Hua Wudao’s face flushed red. He was also a Nine-leaf cultivator after all. It was not that he was weak, but Duanmu Sheng was just too overbearing and too hardworking. Even if Duanmu Sheng was repeatedly defeated, he would not give up. How could someone withstand someone like him?

At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly flashed and appeared 10 meters across from Duanmu Sheng. Then, he said, “Use all your strength and attack me…”
