Chapter 1209: Daylight Robbery

After the flash of light vanished, Lu Zhou and the others appeared at the White Tower Council.

There were two ways for them to go to the Unknown Land now: One, they could go to the Moonlight Woodland or the Southern Kingdom"s Land of Chaos, or second, they could use the White Tower Council"s runic pa.s.sage. Since going to the Moonlight Woodland or the Southern Kingdom"s Land of Chaos would take more time, they decided to use the White Tower Council"s runic pa.s.sage that led to the Unknown Land.

Ye Tianxin and Cheng Huang had already arrived at the White Tower Council two months ago. When she received news from Si Wuya early in the morning, she led everyone out to wait for her master"s arrival.

Ye Tianxin greeted everyone when they arrived. "Greetings, master; Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, junior sisters…"

All the elders and judges of the White Tower Council bowed as well.

Lu Zhou waved his hand. "No need for formalities."

Ye Tianxin said, "Master, the Unknown Land is extremely dangerous. Why don"t you bring Ning Juexi and the other elders with you?"

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "There"s no need for that."

The green lotus cultivators had already appeared. It would be unwise if he brought all the experts to the Unknown Land.

Lu Zhou did not waste time and led the others into the White Tower Council"s runic pa.s.sage.

Again, with a flash of light, they vanished from sight.

…

About 15 minutes later.

A beam of light appeared on the peak that towered over the black clouds.

The dark clouds and black fog obscured everyone"s vision.

Based on the darkness, gloomy weather, and harsh environment, everyone knew they had arrived at the Unknown Land.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

The sound of winds flapping rang from the midst of the black fog.

"Go down!"

Lu Zhou swooped down the mountain peak.

Everyone followed closely behind and landed at the foot of the mountain.

Due to the weather and black fog, their visibility was very poor. They could only see a few mountains nearby. If they stood a little further back, it would be pitch black. There were only a few places with dim light sources that shone white.

The sounds of fierce beasts stomping on the ground rang from all directions from time to time.

"So this is the Unknown Land…"

"Stay together. Don"t stray far away."

Everyone nodded.

The Unknown Land was vast and seemingly boundless. There was only a slim chance of running into other humans. However, nothing was absolute in this world. If they were to meet other humans, there was no doubt there would be a battle. This place strongly embodied the law of the jungle.

At this time, Yan Zhenluo brought out a talisman before lighting it up.

The talisman hovered in the air and fluttered a few times before it flew in a certain direction for several meters before it disappeared.

"Mr. Third should be somewhere in the north," Yan Zhenluo said.

"Thank goodness Mr. Seventh has great foresight," Lu Li said.

Lu Zhou recalled Duanmu Sheng was on Lu Wu"s back when he saw the streak of red light. He was perplexed; he wondered what it was.

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li and said, "Let"s travel north then…"

Subsequently, Lu Zhou took the lead and flew north at a low alt.i.tude while the others followed closely behind.

Lu Li had a good rest during his time in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Although he had not recovered all five of his Birth Charts, he now had the strength of a Two or Three Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator.

Little Yuan"er and Conch"s speed was slow compared to the others. However, with Whitzard"s help, they did not have a problem catching up with the others.

The lazy Mings.h.i.+ Yin was the slowest. Lu Zhou had to urge Qiong Qi and boost its speed so they could catch up.

After flying at a low alt.i.tude for two hours, Lu Zhou came to a halt and said, "The Unknown Land is too vast. Find out Duanmu Sheng"s exact location."

"Understood."

The humid weather was really uncomfortable.

After Yan Zhenluo descended on the ground, he brought out two talismans and lit them up.

One of the talismans hovered in the same spot while the other flew about five meters north before it disappeared.

Seeing this, a vague idea appeared in Yan Zhenluo"s mind. He flew to Lu Zhou and said with a bow, "Pavilion Master, I"m afraid we"ll have to fly for more than a month to reach Mr. Third"s location."

"More than a month!?" Mings.h.i.+ Yin exclaimed in shock; his mouth was agape. "This is only if Third Senior Brother doesn"t move to another place. He continues to move, with Lu Wu"s speed, I"m afraid we won"t be able to find them for the rest of our lives."

Once again, everyone sighed at the vastness of the Unknown Land.

Yan Zhenluo said, "I"ll confirm Mr. Third"s whereabouts from time to time… It won"t be a problem as long as he doesn"t lose the Overlord Spear."

Mings.h.i.+ Yin nodded and smiled. "I"m very certain he won"t lose his Overlord Spear. He treats the spear as his life. He sleeps with it all day long; it"s impossible for him to lose it."

Everyone could not help but laugh when they recalled various scenes of Duanmu Sheng cleaning his spear and bringing it everywhere with him.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Let"s go."

The group of eight increased their speed and flew side by side, pa.s.sing through a vast swamp.

After consuming the beast essence, Whitzard"s speed was not inferior to that of a Five Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

When they were 1,000 meters away from leaving the swamp, Qiong Qi suddenly barked a few times.

"Something"s here…" Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.

Lu Zhou looked at the forest around the swamp that emitted black mist.

Boom!

All of sudden, a huge creature covered in mud leaped out of the swamp and rushed into the forest.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

"I"ll deal with it…" Yu Zhenghai said.

Without waiting for his master"s response, Yu Zhenghai flew above the forest. He used the Great Dark Heaven Memorial, filling the sky with countless energy sabers. They looked dazzling as they rained down and swept through the forest.

Yu Shangrong shook his head and said, "You know we"re in the Unknown Land, and yet, you try to show off by using such an ostentatious technique…"

In less than 15 minutes, under Yu Zhenghai"s frenzied attacks, the swamp monster"s belly was cut open. It was already on its dying breath when Yu Zhenghai took its life heart.

Yu Zhenghai said, "It"s just an ordinary life heart. Junior sisters can use it…"

Little Yuan"er and Conch had disgusted expressions on their faces when they looked at the dirty life heart. They could not bear to look at it.

Yu Zhenghai tossed it to Lu Li and said, "Please hold on to it."

Lu Li brought a bag out and put the life heart in it before he tied the bag on his back.

Following that, they continued on their journey. When they encountered Birth Chart Beasts, they would kill them and take their life hearts. As the number of life hearts increased, Lu Zhou and the others began to disdain elementary life hearts. Only those at or above the intermediate level were worthy of them making a move.

…

Ten days later.

On a peak.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by his youthful appearance and his blue avatar, Lu Zhou used the Disguise Card and the Concealment Card.

At this time, Mings.h.i.+ Yin looked at the luggage on Qiong Qi"s back The two bags were filled to the brim with life hearts. He muttered to himself, "No wonder the five brothers were clamoring to come to the Unknown Land.

Yan Zhenluo smiled. "The Unknown Land is filled with opportunities. Although we didn"t encounter any trouble over the past ten days, we must not forget that this place is fraught with danger."

How could they completely avoid trouble when they came to such a dangerous place?

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and silently recited the incantation for the Heavenly Writing Power"s power of sight.

He saw Duanmu Sheng and Lu Wu near a mountain stream.

The land and the sky were occupied by fierce beasts and flying beasts.

Since Lu Wu was a beast emperor and was also intelligent, there should not be much to worry about. It would know how to hide itself by using the surroundings to its advantage.

With this, Lu Zhou cut off the power of sight. Then, he said, "Let"s continue on our journey."

"Understood."

…

After flying for roughly an hour, they discovered the number of flying beasts in the sky had increased.

On the ground, the fierce beasts were stampeding away in groups.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this time, the sound of fierce fighting rang in the air. Along with that, avatars would occasionally appear in the sky.

"Human cultivators!"

"Let"s have a look."

They stopped about a kilometer away from where the fight was taking place and restrained their auras before they watched the battle in front of them.

After a brief observation, Minghs.h.i.+ Yin said, "There are six people, and four people are fighting against two people."

"Fourth Senior Brother, how do you know that?" Little Yuan"er asked, puzzled.

"Look at that two people; they"re retreating together, clearly defeated. It seems like they were trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the other party"s treasure…"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two green avatars flew back in the direction of… Lu Zhou and the others.

Finally, the two cultivators withdrew their avatars and struggled to their feet. Their unwillingness was written all over their faces. When they looked at Lu Zhou, they sighed. "We don"t want the mystic microstones anymore… Let"s go"

"Mystic microstones?"

Then, they supported each other and turned to leave.

Lu Zhou did not stop them.

There were too many uncertainties in the Unknown Land. He had no interest in interfering in another cultivators" fight. However, the mystic microstones successfully aroused his interest.

At this time, the other party that consisted of four people finally discovered Lu Zhou and the others and flew over. However, they came to an abrupt stop when they saw Lu Zhou and the others. The four of them wore long gray robes and their weapons in their hands shone. Their bodies were also shrouded by a strange purple energy.

"There"s no need to pursue them. Since we"ve completed our goal, we can leave now."

"Understood."

The four gray-clad cultivators with masks on their faces looked at Lu Zhou and the others warily. They knew that the Unknown Land abided by the law of the jungle.

The four cultivators were about to leave, Lu Zhou calmly said, "You"re injured…"

One of the gray-clad cultivators turned around and said politely, "Thank you for your care…"

"The unknown place is extremely dangerous. With your current injuries, you"ll definitely die if you encounter powerful fierce beasts," Lu Zhou continued to say.

The feeling that something was amiss grew stronger and stronger for the gray-clad cultivator. Out of provoking that old thing in front of him, he maintained a smile on his face and said, "Old Sir, you should look after yourself."

"Trust me. You won"t be able to go far," Lu Zhou said tonelessly.

The four gray-clad cultivators ignored Lu Zhou and swooped down. They wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Mings.h.i.+ Yin frowned and said, "Master, what are you talking nonsense with them? Hust rob them!"
