Chapter 95: The Style of the Grand Patriarch?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Zhou’s expression was indifferent. ‘Why would I do something so meaningless? They’re just a group of small fries.’ He stroked his beard, and it did not take long before he forgot about them.

After the cultivators went away, their surroundings fell silent. Little Yuan’er spoke at this moment, “Master, why don’t we catch up to them and kill them?”

“Why?” Lu Zhou asked.

“They were cursing and accusing you of something you didn’t do! We have to go and kill them. You can’t be wrongly accused for nothing,” Little Yuan’er said righteously.

‘I’m rendered speechless by her logic.’ Lu Zhou thought nothing of Little Yuan’er words. He shook his head and said, “I think they’re cursing someone else.”

“Who?”

At this moment, approaching footsteps could be heard, accompanied by slight vibrations on the ground.

When they looked toward the source of the noises, they saw a group of people coming toward them at a pace that was neither fast nor slow. They were riding on an epic mount.

Mounts were far more valuable than flying chariots. Flying chariots were only difficult to make, but any cultivator with the right materials and Formations could activate it. Mounts were rare to begin with. They were difficult to catch and even more difficult to tame.

A huge mount emerged slowly out of the forest. Its body resembled a castle wall while its legs were like stone pillars. This was the epic mount, Elephant King. It was hardy and had strong defenses. It could maneuver rugged mountain paths and cross raging rivers. The only thing it could not do was fly.

Elephant King was carrying a chariot on its back. The chariot was as wide as its shoulders. It was simple but extravagant at the same time.

“Elephant King,” Little Yuan’er mumbled.

Three cultivators hovered on Elephant King’s sides. There were one female and two male cultivators. They moved out of the forest at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

Elephant King covered several meters in a single stride. Every time it took a step forward, a loud thud could be heard.

Lu Zhou motioned to Little Yuan’er to leave with him. As the saying went, ‘River water does not interfere with well water’.

“Oh.” Little Yuan’er followed her master obediently. They made their way to the Fish Dragon Village.

However, they had barely taken a few steps forward when the young girl who hovered next to Elephant King approached them on a flying sword. She stood on her flying sword as she said rudely, “Hey!”

Seeing that the young girl was only about the same age as her, Little Yuan’er was angered by the young girl’s audacity for blocking their path. She responded, equally as rudely, “Hey what? Get out of the way!”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked at the young girl indifferently. ‘A Divine Court realm cultivator. She seems talented, but she’s a far cry from Yuan’er. It’s not worth it for me to waste my item cards on this group of useless cultivators.’

The girl on the flying sword placed one hand on her waist as she pointed at Little Yuan’er. She announced arrogantly, “I’m the ninth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Ci Yuan’er! I have a question for you. Did you see 10 cultivators running this way?”

Little Yuan’er was stunned. Her temper flared, and she no longer had the mood to listen to the young girl’s words. ‘You dare impersonate me?! I can’t take this!’ She pushed herself off the ground and launched herself at the girl like a fired arrow.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two of them began fighting furiously.

In terms of physical powers, Little Yuan’er’s Supreme Purity Jade Slip was peerless. The fake did not expect Little Yuan’er to attack her so suddenly so she was completely caught off guard and was forced into retreating.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Little Yuan’er used her fists and legs. She moved at lightning speed as she bore down on her opponent.

‘This little girl’s temper is still fiery.’ Lu Zhou glanced at Elephant King. The people there did not seem like they planned to make a move.

The cultivator who was fighting with Little Yuan’er was in the Divine Court realm. Little Yuan’er was more than capable of dealing with a few of these kinds of opponents. However, the person on Elephant King must possessed a cultivation base in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm, at least. If that person made a move, Little Yuan’er would have no hope of winning. However, that person did not seem interested in making a move, only looking on curiously. That person’s attention was focused on Little Yuan’er.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While Lu Zhou was calculating in his mind, Little Yuan’er shot up and landed a series of kicks, causing the young girl to fall.

Bang!

When the fake crashed onto the ground, she continued rolling on her back. She looked battered.

Just when the fake was planning on getting up for another round, a low voice drawled, “Stand back.” The voice came from the person on Elephant King’s back.

Lu Zhou looked at that person. An old man with white hair and a white beard emerged from the chariot on Elephant King’s back. His eyes were deep, and his face was full of wrinkles. At a glance, he truly resembled Ji Tiandao when Lu Zhou had just transmigrated here. However, since Lu Zhou had used his Reversal Card, his outer appearance had changed a lot. For this reason, there was a stark difference between his and this old man’s appearances.

Name: Ding Fanqiu.

Race: Human.

Realm: Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.

Ding Fanqiu stood with one hand on his back. He had a pleased expression on his face as he looked at Little Yuan’er. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Lu Zhou and asked, “You’re not afraid of me?”

Lu Zhou replied indifferently, “Why should I be afraid?”

Ding Fanqiu pointed at Little Yuan’er and said, “I’m in a good mood today. If this were any other day, I would’ve punished you for being rude.”

Little Yuan’er could not stifle her laughter. She descended from the air and moved to Lu Zhou’s side. She pointed at Ding Fanqiu who stood on Elephant King and said, “Old man, do you know who this person is?” Her gaze was furious as though it was saying, ‘My master will show you the consequences of impersonating him!’

Without waiting for Lu Zhou to speak, Ding Fanqiu looked at Little Yuan’er again. A hint of glee flashed in his eyes as though he had just spotted a prey. However, his expression was calm as he said, “Little girl, you’re highly talented. It’s rare for someone as young as you to reach the Divine Court realm.”

Little Yuan’er moved closer to Lu Zhou. She stuck her tongue out at the girl she defeated.

Lu Zhou’s expression remained calm, and he made no reply.

Ding Fanqiu was not angered. Instead, he regarded Lu Zhou indifferently and said, “I’m sure you’ve heard of my mighty name, old householder.”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said without any inflection in his tone, “I’ve been living in the mountains for a long time. I’m afraid I don’t know much about the outside world…”

“…” The other two cultivators beside Ding Fanqiu seemed angered by these words.

Ding Fanqiu waved his hand dismissively and said, “There’s no need to worry. I’ll tell you all about myself.” After that, he said, “Please, get on the chariot.” It was clear he was threatening them.

A shocked expression could be seen on the faces of Ding Fanqiu’s disciples. They could not understand their master’s actions. However, they did not hesitate as they flew toward Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er.

Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘What are they doing near the Measure Heaven River? This Ding Fanqiu’s cultivation base is in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. He uses my name and isn’t afraid of being hunted down by the people from the n.o.ble Path? There must be more than meets the eyes with this person.’ However, n.o.body in this world could threaten nor scare Lu Zhou, not even Ding Fanqiu.

Lu Zhou asked, “Are you going to Measure Heaven River?” As he spoke, an item card that was faintly glowing appeared in his hand. Everyone else was unaware of this, they did not even sense any fluctuation in the aura.

At the same time, Ding Fanqiu was still putting on airs. He did not know that he was standing right before the gates of h.e.l.l. If Ding Fangqiu answered in the negative, Lu Zhou would not hesitate to use the item card.

“Indeed, I’m heading toward the Measure Heaven river… Elephant King can maneuver through brambles with ease. Come on up.”

The disciples next to Ding Fanqiu made inviting gestures as well.

The faint glow in Lu Zhou’s hand vanished instantly.

“I’m advanced in age and can’t move around very well. I’ll take you up on your offer then,” Lu Zhou said calmly.

“Old man, are you going to Measure Heaven River as well?” Ding Fanqiu asked.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He said, “You seem interested in Measure Heaven River.”

Ding Fangqiu chuckled before his expression turned calm and cold. He waved his arm ostentatiously.

As if on cue, Elephant King bent its front legs to lower the chariot on its back.
