Chapter 1044: The Boss from the Great Void
Lan Xihe found it strange that someone who had just formed his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar was capable of standing his ground in front of her. She waved her hand casually, calming the surging Primal Qi, before she asked, “Are you really Pavilion Master Lu’s disciple?”
“Of course!” Yu Zhenghai laughed.
“Ye Tianxin is also his disciple?” Lan Xihe asked curiously.
“Of course.”
Lan Xihe shook her head slightly. “I’m a little jealous of Pavilion Master Lu. His disciples are all outstanding. The new generation will gradually surpa.s.s the older generation. Perhaps, one day I’ll be able to see all of you again at the peak…”
At this moment, Shen Xi chimed in, “This isn’t that big a deal. The Pavilion Master has ten disciples. Each of them is a prodigy!”
Lan Xihe. “…”
After a short silence, Lan Xihe waved her hand and said, “Let’s go.”
This time, the white energy that was stronger than before successfully pushed Yu Zhenghai out. He could not withstand it this time.
Shen Xi wanted to chase after the red flying chariot, but Yu Zhenghai raised his hand and said, “Let her go.”
“Mister First, why did you try to stop her in the first place?” Shen Xi asked.
“I was just trying to see if she dares to make a move,” Yu Zhenghai said with a smile, “I bet she wouldn’t dare…”
Shen Xi. “…”
‘Is this what a villain looks like when he has a great backing?’
At this moment, Zhao Hongfu suddenly asked, “Then what if she dares to make a move?”
Yu Zhenghai turned to look at her but discovered that he had no reply.
At this time, Feng Kui said in a clear voice, “Everyone, I’ll make a decision on behalf of Tower Master Xia today. If you agree, please raise your hand!”
All the members of the Black Tower Council raised their hands. Even Xia Zhengrong raised his hand. However, his eyes were lifeless, and his movements were mechanical.
“Alright.” Feng Ku stood up and said to Lu Zhou, “Pavilion Master Lu, the Black Tower Council agrees to your conditions. Ten obsidian essences, twenty fire spirit stones, 10,000 talismans from the Black Tower Council, twenty heaven-grade weapons, and three desolate-grade weapons. What do you think?” Then, as though he was afraid Lu Zhou would ask for more, he hastily said, “This is the Black Tower Council’s limit. The members of the Black Tower Council aren’t that many, but we have a shortage of weapons. Moreover, we still have to look for a way to find the ten obsidian essences. The gold, silver, jewelry, and other resources belong to the ordinary members of the Black Tower Council.”
The Black Tower Council’s territory was like a small city. To operate a city, there were indeed all kinds of resources, including food, minerals, cattle, sheep, horses, money, and so on. However, these things held no value to cultivators.
In any case, what Lu Zhou wanted most was obsidian essences. Although he had enough to upgrade the Purple Glazed Ceramic, there were other weapons that needed to be upgraded as well. It was only natural to want more.
Lu Zhou asked, “Are obsidian essences so rare?”
Feng Kui looked at Lu Zhou in confusion. Was this not common knowledge? Naturally, he did not voice out his thoughts. He patiently explained, “The obsidian essence, as the name implied, comes from an ore called obsidian. Obsidians are top-grade minerals. Obsidians in the black lotus domain are incredibly rare. Moreover, it’s risky to mine for them. Cultivators with high cultivation bases disdain to do the lowly work of mining while those with low cultivation bases can only use the most primitive method to mine for obsidians. With the cooperation between major forces, there were high-level cultivators who mined for obsidians. Even then, with every 10,000 obsidian, it would only yield very few obsidian essences. The obsidian absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon, and their growth condition is very harsh. Even if we go to the boundary between the black lotus domain and the Unknown Land, we can maybe get twenty obsidian essences.”
Lu Zhou asked, “Why does the White Tower Council have so many?”
“In the white lotus domain, there are few trees and many beasts. It’s cold and snowy there with many mountain ranges. For the people to survive, they can only work in the mountains, excavating and mining. For generations, they would exchange minerals for other resources…” Feng Kui explained.
Lu Zhou nodded.
At this point, realization finally dawned on Yan Zhenluo. He looked at Lu Zhou in surprise as he said, “Brother Lu, you… you did this…’
“What did you call me?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.
“Uh…” Yan Zhenluo fell to one knee and said, “This subordinate greets the Pavilion Master…”
The members of the Black Tower Council. “???”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “Yan Zhenluo, I said that I would come and pick you up personally. How could I go back on my words?”
At this moment, Xia Zhengrong’s expression turned a little unsightly.
Yan Zhenluo said, “Thank you, Pavilion Master.”
Lu Zhou looked at Feng Kui and said, “Everyone knows that I’m merciful. Today, I will stop at destroying your members’ Birth Charts, and I’ll spare your lives…”
Feng Kui was overjoyed. “Thank you, Pavilion Master Lu, for showing mercy.”
Lu Zhou raised his voice and said, “My disciple has fallen into the abyss, and his whereabouts is unknown. If he dies, I’ll bury all of you with him…”
“…”
Lu Zhou continued to say, “Don’t try to play tricks with me. If the same thing happens again, all of you won’t be so lucky!”
Feng Kui nodded, “It won’t happen again!”
Lu Zhou descended.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhenluo was still in a daze as he looked at the devastated Black Tower Council. He could hardly believe his eyes.
Lu Zhou walked to Xia Zhengrong and called out, “Xia Zhengrong…”
Xia Zheng Rong raised his head but remained silent.
Lu Zhou said, “If I can kill Di Xihua, I can kill anyone…”
“…”
This sentence was like knocking on a mountain to scare a tiger. Even the powerful Xia Zheng Rong could not protect them.
Lu Zhou stared at Xia Zhengrong; he could see the regret and helplessness in Xia Zhengrong’s eyes.
“I lost,” Xia Zheng Rong said, “You’re as strong as them.”
“Them?”
“You’re from the Great Void, right?” Xia Zhengrong asked.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “If that’s what you think, then that’s what it is.”
Lu Zhou was too lazy to correct Xia Zhengrong.
The members of the Black Tower Council looked at Lu Zhou in surprise. Realization finally dawned on them.
Xia Zheng Rong chuckled and said, “No wonder. Your surname is also Lu.”
“Surname Lu?” Lu Zhou frowned.
Xia Zheng Rong sat down and could not help but laugh.
Lu Zhou shook his head and walked away.
The blackguards standing next to the Dao inscriptions moved to the sides immediately.
Lu Zhou approached the barrier of Dao inscriptions and studied them. At this time, he was completely fearless. He raised his hand and pushed it forward. His palm shone with a terrifying blue light.
Crack!
The Dao inscriptions were destroyed again. A hole could be seen on the barrier.
After Lu Zhou and Yan Zhenluo walked out, the Dao inscriptions mended themselves again.
Lu Zhou and Yan Zhenluo walked out.
Lu Zhou turned around and looked at the Dao inscriptions again. He was impressed by them. If the Evil Sky Pavilion had such Dao inscriptions, they would have nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Yan Zhenluo who was following Lu Zhou said in a low voice, “The Lu person he mentioned is Lu Li’s ancestor…”
Lu Zhou asked curiously, “Lu Li is related to the Great Void?”
