The soundwave swept through the entire Mount Halcyon, resounding across the sky.
Si Wuya, Huang Shijie, Li Jinyi, and the others were shocked. They all looked at the entrance of the underground palace in unison.
Soon enough, a figure dressed in a long gray robe appeared before everyone’s eyes. He had an overbearing and heroic aura. His manner was like that of an immortal as he looked down on everyone. Whitzard who bathed in auspicious qi looked gentle and elegant as it stood next to him.
Lu Zhou had traveled at full speed the entire night.
The others could not keep up and were left far behind.
Lu Zhou did not know if he had arrived too early, too late, or at the right time. Naturally, he preferred to be early after he saw some terrible scenes through the power of sight. Like now, he saw Si Wuya covered in wounds, Huang Shijie seriously injured, and Li Jinyi whose face was covered in tears.
The ground was drenched in blood and messy.
Five or six people stood at the side with fierce expressions and pointed gazes.
The leader, an old man, was already angry, to begin with. He pointed at Lu Zhou and said, "You…"
Swoosh!
A palm seal flew over.
Lu Zhou had decisively shattered a Deadly Strike Card.
The palm seal shone with a golden light. The script for ‘Flaw’ shone in the middle of the palm seal.
Flawed Perfection.
The palm seal tore through space, and in just a blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the old man.
Boom!
The palm seal expanded and landed on the old man with the force of a mountain, sending him flying back. He raised his arms to block the attack. Despite the fierce expression on his face, he could not conceal the shock in his eyes. He felt as though the palm seal was causing him to drown in a sea of despair. It was as though death itself had arrived.
"Venerable Master Yang!"
Boom!
The underground palace shook.
The old man crashed against the wall, creating a human-shaped hole. Before he could use his avatar, protective energy, astrolabe, or weapons, he had already been defeated.
The underground palace was as quiet as a graveyard.
The remaining five white-clad cultivators looked at Lu Zhou angrily as their hearts raced in their chests. The person in front of them sent their leader flying with just one move before their leader could even react. Just how powerful was he?
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back as he swept his eyes across the cultivators. Then, he asked, "Let me ask you again. Who hurt my disciple?"
The white-clad cultivators’ expressions were grim. They hurriedly retreated to the side and helped the old man up.
The old man, Venerable Master Yang, coughed violently as he looked at the person in front of him. He looked at his chest, thinking about the puppet he had painstakingly cultivated for so many years being destroyed with just one move. Who was he?
He gulped and dismissed his question. However, his arrogance prevented him from completely suppressing his displeasure. He said, "He killed the beast tamer, Yang Liansheng, and the Halcyon Divine Bird. This is the Halcyon clan’s territory. Sir, don’t you think you’re being unreasonable?"
Lu Zhou ignored the old man and walked until he was ten meters away from Si Wuya.
Si Wuya struggled to his knees. He said expressionlessly, "I’ve made a big mistake which resulted in an accident with Jiang Aijian. I beg master to punish me."
Lu Zhou’s eyelid twitched. He moved his eyes to Jiang Aijian and sensed his condition.
Jiang Aijian’s body temperature was low, his breath was no longer there, his Dantian’s sea of Qi had been shattered, and his internal organs were also shattered. There was no way to save him.
Lu Zhou suddenly waved his sleeve!
Bang!
Si Wuya flew out and crashed against the wall. He let out a muffled groan before he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was not angry at his master at all. Instead, he felt slightly relieved. He tidied his hair and wiped the blood off the corner of his lip before he moved to kneel in front of Lu Zhou again. Then, he said, "Please punish me severely, master."
Venerable Master Yang suppressed his anger before he chuckled and said, "It seems like you can still distinguish between right and wrong. It’s all a misunderstanding. As long as you punish these three people, we can discuss this matter."
As soon as his voice fell, Lu Zhou turned around and sped forward like a bolt of lightning. Time and space seemed to have frozen as he struck at Venerable Master Yang.
Boom!
Lu Zhou left afterimages in his wake as he charged at Venerable Master Yang.
Boom!
Venerable Master Yang widened his eyes when he felt the oppressive force from the power of the Dao. Once again, he was sent flying into another human-shaped pit. He spat out another mouthful of blood. Just like before, he could not fight back at all. He was completely crushed. Although he was furious, he was more shocked and nervous. The force of the attack earlier…
Venerable Master Yang raised his head. His eyes looked as though they were about to pop out of their sockets. "G-great Venerable Master?"
The other five people inhaled sharply and began to retreat. They looked at Lu Zhou as though they were facing a great enemy.
Lu Zhou looked at the six people coldly and said, "Do you think you have the right to interfere in my affairs?"
The five people immediately dragged Venerable Master Yang out as they said in low voices, "Let’s go, let’s go…"
The person in front of them did not follow common sense and acted as he pleased. It was better not to provoke such a person.
"Stop," Lu Zhou said as he looked at the backs of the six people.
"G-great Venerable Master, what do you want?"
"Did I say you can leave?" Lu Zhou frowned.
No one knew how angry Lu Zhou was at the moment.
The six people trembled and shrank back, not daring to move.
Lu Zhou’s expression was solemn, and his gaze was deep as he turned around and returned to stand in front of Si Wuya. He asked, "So you know your mistake?"
Si Wuya remained kneeling as he said, "It’s my mistake for thinking so highly of myself. I came to Mount Halcyon without asking for permission."
"You’ve seen the Halcyon Bird at the white tower. You know its strength very well. Did you think it helped you at that time so you dared to come to Mount Halcyon?" Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya lowered his voice that held a hint of sorrow as he said, "All these years, I’ve been having strange dreams. I can’t sleep well at night, and I can’t eat well…"
"Bast*rd, how dare you give me such flimsy excuses!"
Swoosh!
A palm seal shot out, and Si Wuya was sent flying again.
Si Wuya endured the pain and did not resist nor protest. He knew his master was right. Even if he could produce a good excuse, it would be nothing when faced with the truth.
Si Wuya remembered his master had once asked him if he was hiding anything, but he hesitated because he was not sure. In the end, he did not say anything. Now, it was all useless.
Si Wuya kneeled again. "I beg master to punish me severely."
"Are you threatening me?" Lu Zhou mobilized his Primal Qi.
Thousands of swords trembled and clanked against each other.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and launched another palm seal at Si Wuya.
Swoosh!
Si Wuya did not dodge nor did he close his eyes. Instead, he raised his head.
"Brother Ji!"
"Senior Ji!"
The palm seal stopped half an inch from Si Wuya’s face.
The dazzling golden palm seal stung the nerves of Venerable Master and the other five people. What kind of show were they watching? Why did he suddenly stop?
Huang Shijie coughed before he said with a sigh, "It’s not his fault. My disciple had always been a coward, but he was true to himself at the end. Things have already happened. There’s no need to make it worse…"
Lu Zhou did not say anything.
Si Wuya looked at Lu Zhou and said, "If it’s possible, I want to pay with my life."
"Pay with your life?" Lu Zhou frowned.
"I have the ability to bring the dead back to life."
