Chapter 1721: This Swindler’s Method is Really Not Simple! (1)
Lu Zhou had been to the ancient ruins; it was where the Nihilist Congregation was based.
The Nihilist Congregation was not found by the Sacred Temple and the ten halls of the Great Void, and they were not worried they would be found by the Scales of Justice because they were based in the core of the Great Void. The core of the Great Void was also a place where no one in the Great Void’s cultivation world was interested in, and the core area was also the ancient ruins.
“Alright, I’ll remember this. If you need anything, you can speak to me,” Lu Zhou said.
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhang’s figure returned to the fog before a drop of blood essence shot out toward Lu Zhou. He protected it with an energy seal and put it away before he turned to leave.
Meng Zhang, who was immersed in Lu Zhou’s words, suddenly said, “I do have something I need… Eh? Where is he?!”
Meng Zhang widened its eyes and looked around. The area within 100 miles was brightly lit by its moon-like eyes. After a moment, it saw Lu Zhou flying away on his golden lotus. He muttered angrily, “So this is how the Unholy One is like!’
No matter how angry Meng Zhang was, it did not dare to leave the Pillar of Destruction and chase after Lu Zhou. It could only grumble to itself.
Just as Meng Zhang’s voice fell, a voice rang from the distance.
“I have something important to attend to. We’ll definitely meet again another day.”
“At least you still have some conscience,” Meng Zhang muttered before it closed its eyes.
With that, darkness descended again.
…
After obtaining Meng Zhang’s blood essence, Lu Zhou did not return to the Evil Sky Pavilion immediately. He stood by the runic pa.s.sage in the forest and lit up a talisman.
Soon enough, a projection of Yan Guichen, Zhou Cheng, and Chu Lian, who happened to be together, appeared in the air. When they saw Lu Zhou, they quickly prostrated themselves on the ground.
“Greetings, Lord Unholy One!”
“No need,” Lu Zhou said directly, “I have something important to discuss with you.”
“Lord Unholy One, if you have something you need, please let me know. Even if I have to climb a mountain of blades, swim in a sea of fire, or even die, I’ll complete your task!” Zhou Cheng said pa.s.sionately.
“...”
Chu Lian and Yan Guichen who were a beat slower to speak clenched their hands in frustration. They clenched their hands so tightly that their knuckles turned white.
Lu Zhou said, “I received news that Jian Bing, the White Tiger, is hiding in the ancient ruins. Have you encountered it before?”
“Jian Bing, the White Tiger?!”
The trio was shocked.
Chu Lian said, “Jian Bing is one of the Four Divinities of Heaven. We’ve never seen it before.”
“The Four Divinities of Heaven were responsible for maintaining the balance between heaven and earth. Over the past 100,000 years, they’ve been greatly weakened. The ancient ruins are desolate, and the vitality energy is thin. Why would it hide in the ruins?” Zhou Cheng was puzzled.
Lu Zhou could not help but frown upon hearing the trio’s words. Clearly, they did not know Jian Bing’s whereabouts.
“You really don’t know?”
The trio shook their heads.
Lu Zhou said, “It should be in the ancient ruins.”
Lu Zhou already knew the general location of Zhi Ming. It was just that he did not know the exact location. Even the Sacred Temple’s Scales of Justice could detect its general location. It was just that its exact location was guarded by Bai Zhaoju.
As for Meng Zhang, everyone knew it guarded Huantan’s Pillar of Destruction. However, who would dare to approach it?
The Four Divinities of Heaven were supposed to maintain the balance of heaven and earth. This was in line with the Sacred Temple’s will, hence, the Sacred Temple would definitely protect them.
Then… Where was Jian Bing?
“Lord Unholy One, if we knew the answer, we would definitely tell you. With our status and cultivation, how’s it possible for us to be privy to its location? We… We really don’t know!”
‘Really don’t know?’
Lu Zhou was puzzled. The trio did not look like they were lying, but they were all in the ancient ruins. It seemed unlikely that over the past 100,000 years there was not even a trace of Jian Bing, right? Was it like Zhi Ming? Did it find a corner to sleep and did not move for 100,000 years?
At this moment, Zhou Cheng suddenly raised his hand and called out, “Lord Unholy One!”
“Speak.”
Zhou Cheng said excitedly, “We just received news that our cult master, who’s also your number one follower, will return in the afternoon!”
Yan Guichen and Chu Lian: “...”
‘F*ck! He beat me to it again!’
However, the trio did not expect Lu Zhou to say, “I have something important to attend to. I don’t have the time to see your cult master now. Let him wait.”
After saying that, Lu Zhou dispelled the projection and thought about Jian Bing’s possible whereabouts.
The Four Divinities of Heaven could sense each other’s general location. If Meng Zhang said Jian Bing was in the ancient ruins, then Jian Bing was definitely in the ancient ruins.
With that, Lu Zhou decided to explore the depths of the ancient ruins. He quickly entered the runic pa.s.sage and disappeared with a flash of light.
…
Lu Zhou arrived at the Great Void through the runic pa.s.sage near Xuanyi Palace. Then, he rushed to the ancient ruins immediately.
It took him less than two hours when he arrived near the ancient ruins. This speed was astonis.h.i.+ng even for a supreme being.
At this time, he suddenly sensed movement from a talisman. He stopped, brought the talisman out, and lit it.
A message appeared: Master, Seventh Senior Brother is awake. Master, the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation is Jian Bing. We await your return, master.
“...”
“The Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation is Jian Bing?”
At this time, all his earlier questions when speaking to the three cult leaders were instantly resolved.
