Chapter 1674: A Light Disk With 300,000 Years
The various forces in the Great Void did not want to offend the Sacred Temple, after all. In fact, they yearned to join the Sacred Temple and the ten halls. They naturally hoped to join the ranks of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple and the Templars and to live in the Sacred Region.
Hence, many people felt it was enough that Hua Zhenghong received two palm strikes instead of three. Hua Zhenghong was already in a sorry state. If Lu Zhou insisted on continuing, he would definitely offend everyone.
Lu Zhou turned to Shang Zhang and asked, “Even you think I shouldn’t continue with the third palm strike?”
Shang Zhang transmitted his voice to Lu Zhou and said, “You know I came here today for the commanders’ compet.i.tion.”
Shang Zhang had to make his purpose clear.
At this time, Bai Zhaoju smiled and said, “Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion… It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Lu Zhou turned to face Bai Zhaoju.
Bai Zhaoju continued to smile and say, “Sir, why don’t you calm down? If you have something to say, let’s sit down and have a good chat.”
Lu Zhou was not as angry as before after Bai Zhaoju spoke. After all, Bai Zhaoju had helped him in the past. If it were not for the White Emperor’s jade token, it would have been difficult for some of his disciples to receive the recognition from the Pillars of Destruction. This was especially true when they faced the Feather tribe at the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. Without the jade token, it would be almost impossible for them to enter the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.
After Bai Zhaoju spoke, Qi Sheng turned to Lu Zhou and said loudly, “I’m Qi Sheng, the Commander of Tu Wei Hall. Greetings, senior.”
/
Lu Zhou recalled how all disciples said that Qi Sheng might be his seventh disciple, Si Wuya. His heart stirred slightly as he turned to look at Qi Sheng.
‘Jiang Aijian? How is he Si Wuya? He’s clearly Jiang Aijian who regards the swords as life. However, why did he say that he’s the seventh son of his family?’
Lu Zhou glanced at the flying chariot behind Qi Sheng with the Tu Wei Hall’s flag before he sighed inwardly. ‘Alas, Old Seventh didn’t return…’
‘Since Jiang Aijian is alive, is he planning to help Old Seventh fulfill his wish by helping the Evil Sky Pavilion?’
Jiang Aijian’s appearance made Lu Zhou temporarily forget about his anger and the third palm strike.
Qi Sheng continued to say, “Although Lady Hua is at fault, the mistake isn’t huge. The Great Void is in need of talents, and Lady Hua is also the talent that Great Emperor Ming Xin values most. I hope old sir will forget about this matter for my sake.”
“For your sake?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.
Qi Sheng nodded. He continued to say with a smile, “After all, I’m now the Commander of Tu Wei Hall. In terms of ability, talent, and appearance, I’m top-notch. The Great Emperor trusts me a lot. I promise there’ll be no trouble after today’s incident.” Then, he immediately turned to Hua Zhenghong and asked, “Lady Hua, you won’t be so petty as to seek revenge over such a trivial matter, right?”
Hua Zhenghong could barely control her expression. She thought that Qi Sheng was really strange. He was sometimes serious and sometimes rebellious. She really did not understand how such a person could gain the trust of Ming Xin and Bai Zhaoju.
After a brief moment, Hua Zhenghong scoffed and said, “I’m not a petty or vengeful person.”
Qi Sheng nodded with a satisfied expression and asked Lu Zhou, “What do you think, old sir?”
Everyone’s eyes were trained on Lu Zhou. Now that the three emperors, Shang Zhang, and Qi Sheng took turns to plead for Hua Zhenghong, they were looking forward to Lu Zhou’s response.
Lu Zhou flew back to his original position and looked down at Hua Zhenghong before he asked in a deep voice, “Hua Zhenghong… Are you ready?”
Hua Zhenghong’s heart trembled, and she instinctively took a step back. Her puppet had already been destroyed by that terrifying force earlier. If she had to take another palm strike, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Lu Zhou would do this.
Ling Weiyang, Bai Zhaoju, and Shang Zhang shook their heads helplessly.
Lu Zhou glanced at the trio.
‘These old geezers didn’t want to get involved in the matters of the Great Void 100,000 years ago. Now, they still refuse to get involved. How can I let them have such an easy time? If there’s a burden, everyone should shoulder it together. How can I let go of such a good opportunity to drag them through muddy waters?’
Qi Sheng opened his mouth to persuade Lu Zhou again. However, the Silver Guard flashed to his side and shook his head slightly before he said in a low voice, “It’s useless. Respect his decision.”
“Okay.”
Then, the duo returned to their flying chariot.
The Silver Guard said, “Stand behind me.”
Qi Sheng said, “You really look down on me. Are you afraid my handsome face will cover up your brilliance?”
“…”
At this time, Lu Zhou had already raised his hand. He said clearly, “I’ve always done what I said I’d do. Those who dare to stop me will be my enemies.”
An item card appeared in Lu Zhou’s hand. This was the precious Deadly Strike Card he had obtained after killing Zui Can and the ancient Frost Dragon. It was equivalent to a powerful strike from the Unholy One.
Hua Zhenghong’s expression was a mixture of shock and anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll receive your third palm strike.”
Then, Hua Zhenghong brought her lotus out. She did not hesitate when she slashed the artery on her wrist, dripping the blood on her lotus seat.
…
When Ling Weiyang saw this, he shook his head and said, “Why bother?”
Bai Zhaoju sighed. “Blood sacrifice to the red lotus. It’ll take her three to five years to recover after using this move.”
Chi Biaonu looked at Lu Zhou and said, “I really didn’t expect there to be an expert like him outside of the Great Void. How rare.”
Ling Weiyang turned to look at Chi Biaonu. In order to avoid being overheard, he asked through voice transmission, “Don’t tell me you don’t find him familiar?”
“Hm? Familiar?” Chi Biaonu did not understand Ling Weiyang’s words.
Ling Weiyang replied, “Well, I’m not sure either. Just watch carefully. Regardless, I don’t think the three of us will be able to wash away this muddy water.”
…
When the fresh blood dropped on the red lotus, a bright red light illuminated the entire Cloud Domain immediately.
The sky was dyed red as lotuses appeared in the air.
Lu Zhou remained expressively, clearly unbothered. He clenched his hand, shattering the item card.
The wind and the clouds surged and roiled immediately as a vortex appeared.
At the same time, the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction began to tremble.
The huge figure in the Great Abyss Land suddenly flew up through one of the holes in the sky to the Great Void. Like Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon, its eyes were like the sun and the moon when it opened them.
When Lan Xihe saw the pair of eyes, she frowned.
“The guardian of the Great Abyss Land?”
No one had ever had a good look at the guardian of the Great Abyss Land. They only knew it was one of the most powerful fierce beasts in the world today. At its peak, it was not any weaker than the Four Divinities of Heaven; it was comparable to an ancient creature.
Lu Zhou looked up at the thing circling the sky expressionlessly and said, “This isn’t a place for you. Before I change my mind, you better get lost.”
Lu Zhou could use the Deadly Strike Card on the gigantic beast, but he had a better use for it. Moreover, it was not necessary.
The gigantic beast let out a low whimper in the sky. It circled the sky a few times before it returned to where it came from. It was not a fool, after all. It was better to avoid trouble in the Great Void. Before long, it vanished from everyone’s sight.
…
“…”
The three emperors were surprised. Who was the person in front of them that he could easily get the gigantic beast to leave with just a few words?
…
Hua Zhenghong was determined to block the third palm strike. She mobilized all her energy and used everything she had learned in her life.
The vortex in the sky churned with unprecedented power. When the power reached its peak, forming a palm seal, Lu Zhou said, “Third palm strike, the Confucian’s Expansive Heavenly Energy.”
Vitality energy from the Expansive Heavenly energy permeated the air in the Cloud Domain as it shot out and tore through s.p.a.ce.
Vitality surged violently in the air.
The ten halls and the other cultivators did not let down their guards and raised their defenses immediately.
At the same time, the three emperors’ flying chariots retreated again.
Boom!
The dazzling palm seal pressed down on Hua Zhenghong’s red lotus, shattering s.p.a.ce.
The wind and the vitality grew even more violent as they swept through the entire place.
Hua Zhenghong grunted as she cried out, “No laws? Just pure power?!”
Absolute power trumped all kinds of fancy techniques.
Hua Zhenghong’s mind went blank as she plummeted to the ground.
A light disk appeared as soon as a Primal Qi storm erupted.
Someone exclaimed in shock, “The light disk?!”
Everyone stared at the light disk in shock.
“The light disk contains 300,000 years of life.”
Previously, Hua Zhenghong had the protection of the puppet. After the destruction of the puppet, what else did she have to protect her?
Hua Zhenghong, one of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple, paid the price for her arrogance and lost a light disk with 300,000 years.
For the longest time, the Sacred Temple stood high above everyone. No one dared to challenge them.
Everyone looked at the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, who was hovering in the sky. He completely defeated Hua Zhenghong with three palm strikes.
