Chapter 1675: Each in Its Place (1)
As one of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple, Hua Zhenghong was an elite even among her peers. Everyone knew her cultivation was profound and her status was high. No one dared to underestimate her even if she was just a great divine king. Her cultivation path was special. Her offenses were different from ordinary cultivators, and she had rich combat experiences. Even lesser divine emperors might not be 100% certain they could defeat her. However, Lu Zhou’s palm seal had shattered her light disk that she had painfully cultivated for 10,000 years. There were 300,000 years of life in that light disk!
At this moment, the vitality energy from the 300,000 years of life wreaked havoc in the Cloud Domain.
The crowd watched the scene in front of them in a trance. They naturally did not dare to covet the vitality energy in front of them. All they felt at this moment was shock and nervousness; they did not know what to do next. If the Sacred Temple decided to pursue the matter, everyone in the Cloud Domain today would not be able to escape punishment. The three emperors, Shang Zhang, and the ten halls had enough strength and status to survive offending the Sacred Temple, but what about the various forces in the Great Void?
After a long time, someone asked, “Where’s Lady Hua?”
They searched the entire place with their eyes, but they could not find Hua Zhenghong.
“Did she… Did she die from the three palm strikes?”
“Impossible. Lady Hua has at least five light disks. Even if this one is destroyed, she should have four light disks left.”
However, no matter where they looked, they could not find Hua Zhenghong.
Chi Biaonu was faintly worried. He really did not want Hua Zhenghong to die in front of him. To be precise, he did not want to wade in muddy waters.
“Let me take a look,” Bai Zhaoju said before he flew out of his flying chariot. He flew down one of the holes to the Great Abyss Land in the Unknown Land. Alas, no matter how hard he searched, he still could not find Hua Zhenghong.

“Strange. She’s one of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple. Although she suffered a huge loss because of the three palm strikes, she shouldn’t have fled. Did she leave first hoping to restore her light disk?” Bai Zhaoju muttered to himself, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t help you with this matter.”
With that, Bai Zhaoju returned to his flying chariot. Then, he turned around and calmly said, “Lady Hua is injured so she must have left to recuperate.”
Upon hearing this, Chi Biaonu’s eyelids twitched slightly. He raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou as he said, “You’re really bold. Aren’t you afraid of offending the Sacred Temple by doing this?”
Lu Zhou said righteously, “I’ve already said the ugly words earlier. Didn’t I say her life and death won’t be guaranteed after she receives three palm strikes from me? Why are you afraid?”
Chi Biaonu: “?”
‘At the very least, I’m also a prominent figure. Why is this person speaking to me in such a condescending manner?’
Chi Biaonu did not get angry. Instead, he turned to Bai Zhaoju. He saw Bai Zhaoju nodding at him with an expression that seemed to say, “You must not get angry.”
Then, Chi Biaonu said calmly, “I didn’t expect the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion to be so extraordinary. If you’re free, I’d like to invite you to the Southern Flaming Sea to have tea with me.”
Lu Zhou said, “Forget about having tea. If you’re free, you should go to Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction to visit your daughter.”
Lu Zhou did not have a good impression of Chi Biaonu, the Scarlet Emperor.
Shang Zhang was forced and deceived by the Nihilist Congregation, Wu Zu, and disaster at that time to bring Conch to the Unknown Land. Conch was lost later by accident, and he did not intentionally abandon Conch. However, Chi Biaonu was truly heartless. The two of them were completely different.
Even a tiger would not devour its own cub. Chi Biaonu could even abandon his daughter and imprison her under a mulberry tree in Ji Ming; how could someone like that be a good person?
Upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words, Chi Biaonu’s expression turned unsightly. He frowned and asked, “You’ve been to Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction?”
Lu Zhou did not want to waste time with Chi Biaonu. He asked, “Do you think I’m a criminal?”
‘Do you think this is an interrogation and that I have to answer your question? You overestimate yourself.’
At this moment, Bai Zhaoju smiled and said, “If there’s a chance, I’d like to invite you to the Lost Land in the east as a guest.”
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou nodded and said, “I have something to talk to you as well so we’ll meet again in the future.”
Bai Zhaoju was delighted. He smiled and said, “Alright!”
After that, Bai Zhaoju c.o.c.ked his eyebrow and looked at Chi Biaonu with a smug expression.
‘You failed to invite him, but I didn’t. Are you angry?’
Chi Biaonu’s expression was slightly dark, but he did not say anything. No one knew what he was thinking. He might be thinking about his daughter in the Unknown Land, or he might be thinking about how to deal with Lu Zhou. In any case, no one knew.
As for Ling Weiyang, he continued to pretend as though he could not see anything.
…
At this moment, some people had already moved on to another matter. Lu Zhou had already admitted he was the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion so where were his disciples? They were shocked beyond belief when they thought about how all the owners of the Great Void Seeds were the disciples of the person in front of them.
However, the majority of the cultivators were still in a daze, wondering where Hua Zhenghong had gone. They were also worried and afraid they would be implicated in the matter today.
…
Lu Zhou turned around and faced Qi Sheng. He did not expose Qi Sheng. Instead, he asked, “What are you doing here?”
Qi Sheng replied, “I’m the Commander of Tu Wei Hall so I have to accept challenges. Moreover, I’m also in charge of the commanders’ compet.i.tion. I naturally have to be here.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said with a sigh, “You’re quite lucky.”
Lu Zhou was referring to the fact that Jiang Aijian was successfully resurrected with Si Wuya’s help.
Jiang Aijian understood Lu Zhou’s meaning. His smile vanished from his face as he waved his hand. His red mask flew to him, and he placed it on his face before he said, “Life is unpredictable. There’s both good luck and bad luck. Senior should know this better than I do.”
Needless to say, most people did not understand the real meaning behind Lu Zhou and Qi Sheng’s words.
