Chapter 929: I’m Actually The Thousand Realms Whirling Expert
Mo Xinglu and Xuan Chengzi had been coveting Birth Chart Beasts for a long time now. Previously, researches on Birth Chart Beasts were all controlled by the Sky Martial Court and Yu Chenshu. Now that Yu Chenshu had died, every sect had a chance of obtaining a Birth Chart Beast. Needless to say, they were unaware that the Birth Chart Beasts in the red lotus domain had long been monopolized by the black lotus domain.
The Void Sect’s Xuan Chengzi said, “Old sir, I’m sure you’ve seen the thousands of cultivators from our three sects battling these three Birth Chart Beasts for a long time. As soon as you appeared, you demanded two life hearts. Isn’t this a joke?”
They were old and cunning people who had lived for a long time and could hold their own for so long in the battle against the Birth Chart Beasts in the Eastern Forest Mountain. How could they not have an opinion at all in regards to Lu Zhou’s demand?
The Seeking Heaven Sect’s Zeng Yan had expended a lot of energy in the battle, and he looked rather miserable at this moment. If it was possible, he did not want to make another enemy. “My disciple risked his life to attract the Xi Qu and the two Shan Gaos. Our Seeking Heaven Sect lost more than ten cultivators. After sacrificing so much, how can we give up on the Birth Chart Beasts.”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “I’m not an unreasonable person. However, the Birth Chart Beasts weren’t attracted by your disciple; they were attracted to my disciples.”
Mo Xinglu, Xuan Chengzi, and Zeng Yan looked at each other in dismay and confusion.
After a moment, Mo Xinglu smiled faintly and said, “Old sir, you can’t prove that it was your disciples who attracted them, right? It’s impossible for one person to attract three Birth Chart Beasts.”
Xuan Chengzi agreed. “Birth Chart Beasts are territorial. Under normal circ.u.mstances, if one Birth Chart Beast appears, another Birth Chart Beast won’t appear in the vicinity. Naturally, there are exceptions. In history, there were Birth Chart Beasts that appeared in groups. In the case of Shan Gaos, they usually appear in a pair. I think my words are reasonable as well, right?”
Lu Zhou looked at Xuan Chengzi and said, “You’re right. However, it doesn’t disprove the fact that these three Birth Chart Beasts are attracted to my disciples.”
“This…” Xuan Chengzi was rendered speechless.
Zeng Yan had paid a huge price to come to this stage; how could he be willing to give the Birth Chart Beasts up? Therefore, he said, “Then let’s invite the old senior’s disciple here. We can just speak without showing evidence, right?”
“Are you implying that I’m lying?” Lu Zhou said as he glanced at the three Birth Chart Beasts that were on the verge of collapse.
Under the constant onslaught of attack from the Nascent Divinity Tribulation Realm cultivators, the Birth Chart Beasts’ strength had greatly decreased compared to earlier.
The ground was in a mess. Many trees had fallen to the ground. The smell of blood permeated the air above the western sky of the mountain range in the Eastern Forest Mountain.
Mo Xinglu heard the anger in Lu Zhou’s voice so she said, “Old senior doesn’t look like someone who lies. However, what we said is reasonable as well. In your opinion, how do we determine whose disciple attracted the Birth Chart Beasts?”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As a tide of energy swords swept out, the three Birth Chart Beasts finally fell. The members from the three sects surrounded them and dug out their life hearts. One for the True Kunlun Sect; one for the Void Sect; one for the Seeking Heaven Sect. With this, the distribution of the ‘spoils of war’ was completed.
The injured disciples rested and healed their injuries. The ones who were uninjured rose into the sky and formed a large formation.
When Mo Xinglu saw that she had obtained the life heart, she said, “Old senior, do you know about the Sky Wheel Mountain Range?”
“The Sky Wheel Mountain Range?” Lu Zhou was puzzled, not knowing why she brought up the Sky Wheel Mountain Range.
Mo Xinglu said, “During the battle in the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, Yu Chenshu was killed by a Ten-leaf expert. After that, a Thousand Realms Whirling expert appeared in the capital. Xuan Chengzhi and I were lucky enough to meet that expert…”
Mo Xinglu’s words clearly meant that she would not give up the life heart. Second, she implied that she knew the Thousand Realms Whirling expert. Therefore, it was up to Lu Zhou if he wanted to offend the Thousand Realms Whirling expert.
Since Mo Xinglu said these words, then Lu Zhou could only reveal his ident.i.ty. As a Thousand Realms Whirling expert, there was no need for him to lie. He could easily make them see reason.
“Forget it.”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “Actually, I am the…”
Buzz!
A buzzing noise rang in the air as a figure streaked across the sky from afar.
The thousands of cultivators were shocked and looked in the direction of the sound.
A 350-foot black Thousand Realms Whirling avatar towered over the northernmost area of the mountain range in the Eastern Forest Mountain. Then, it flew over at a low alt.i.tude. The astrolabe unique to a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar shot out a beam of light at lightning speed, causing all the cultivators present to freeze in fear.
“Thousand Realms Whirling avatar!” Mo Xinglu, Zeng Yan, and Xuan Chengzi cried out in surprise.
“Let’s go!”
“It’s too late!”
When a Five Chart Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared out of thin air in the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, the red lotus domain was in a state of panic. It was only after a long time had pa.s.sed that they gradually forgot about the black lotus domain. How could they not be shocked when they saw another black lotus cultivator?
The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar was so fast that the trio did not even think of escaping.
To their dismay, after the appearance of the black Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, not one, but six cultivators in black armor wielding halberds appeared as well.
Perhaps, it was an illusion or it was their fear of the strong, but they felt these six people could destroy the earth if they wanted to. In just a blink of an eye, the black lotus cultivators had already covered a huge distance.
Lu Zhou looked at the height of the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar and the six people. It was likely the six people were from the Black Guards. After all, blackguards operated in groups of threes. Therefore, these people must be two groups of blackguards.
The manifestation of the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar and the power of the Birth Chart were just to flex their muscles, warning everyone present to not act rashly. Lu Zhou had to admit the effects were not bad. None of the thousand cultivators dared to breathe loudly, afraid they would anger the black lotus cultivators.
In fact, cultivators with nine leaves and ten leaves had always had a feeling that there was a greater force controlling things in the red lotus domain in the dark, causing them to be unable to move forward in their cultivation. Over the years, there were those with curious minds and adventurous spirits who were unafraid of death trying to unearth secrets. The Sky Martial Court’s Luo Xuan was one of them. There were also people like Yu Chenshu who were obsessed with finding Birth Chart Beasts. Finally, there were people like Xiahou Sheng who were willing to be lackeys of the black lotus domain.
The six blackguards had varying body sizes; they were tall, fat, short, thin. However, their armor was the same.
Lu Zhou felt confident fighting a one-versus-three battle, but one-versus-six was a bit difficult. He wondered if he should retreat. There were also the three sects. Unless… he used the Peak Trial Card.
An indescribable pressure descended on the mountain range in the Eastern Forest Mountain immediately.
Mo Xinglu and Xuan Chengzi instinctively retreated a few meters.
The six blackguards hovered in front of the thousands of people, their backs facing the setting sun.
After some time had pa.s.sed, the blackguard standing in the center of the group of three to the left said solemnly, “Hand over the life hearts…”
The members of the Seeking Heaven Sect, naturally, did not dare to refuse, but they were incredibly unwilling to give up the life heart. After all, they had paid a huge price to obtain it. However, what other choice did they have?
“I’ll say it another time; hand over the life hearts.” The blackguard’s voice lowered by an octave, causing people to shudder.
Zeng Yan felt unresigned, but so what? He could only say through gritted teeth, “Give it to him!”
A cultivator from the Seeking Heaven Sect picked the life heart up and flew up.
“Very good.” The blackguard was clearly satisfied with the Seeking Heaven Sect’s performance.
Mo Xinglu and Xuan Chengzi could only wave their hands as well.
The cultivators from the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect flew up, each holding a life heart.
“Very good.” The blackguard nodded slightly and repeated these two words.
As the saying went, ‘Plans can never keep up with changes’.
Lu Zhou did not expect matters to take such a turn. However, as a Four Chart expert, how could he let others s.n.a.t.c.h the life hearts away from him?
“Wait.” Lu Zhou flew a few meters forward. “The two Shan Gao’s life hearts belong to me. I’m afraid I can’t let you have it…”
Xuan Chengzi, Mo Xinglu, Zeng Yan. “…”
The trio thought the old man must have gone crazy because of his obsession with life hearts. It was one thing to demand the life hearts from them, but to demand the life hearts from the Thousand Realms Whirling experts from the black lotus domain… it seemed like this old man did not want to live a long life!
