BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1215 - The Bearing of a Venerable Master
Chapter 1215: The Bearing of a Venerable Master
Although Yuan Lang’s words were polite, he could not hide the sense of superiority etched deep in his bones. There was a commanding tone when he spoke.
Lu Zhou still could not be bothered to respond. ‘Just because you ask me, do I have to answer you? What happens to my pride and dignity then?’
After leaping onto Whitzard’s back, Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and said, “Continue north.”
“Yes.”
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai returned to Whitzard’s side.
Kong Wen and his three brothers looked at Yuan Lang warily before they hurriedly moved behind Whitzard.
Lu Zhou continued ignoring Yuan Lang from the 49 Swordsmen of the Northern Mountain Region and called out in a deep voice, “Sun Mu.”
Sun Mu and his four brothers trembled at the same time. “P-pavilion Master…”
“Si Wuya has already reported your matter to me,” Lu Zhou said.
The five of them started before they fell to their knees before saying in unison, “Pavilion Master, please forgive us!”
The cultivators watched with baffled expressions on their faces.
Kong Wen and his brothers were even more confused than the others. They could be considered to be acquainted with Sun Mu and his brothers. Although the five brothers were not prominent figures with strength that shook the green lotus domain, they could be considered somewhat famous in the Unknown Land. Out of everyone, they also had the highest chances of joining the monster hunting squad.
Kong Wen instinctively turned to look at Lu Zhou and wondered, ‘Who’s this old man?’
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Are you worthy?”
“Not worthy.”
“Not worthy.”
“Not worthy.”
“Not worthy.”
“Not worthy.”
Despite his reply, Sun Mu seemed somewhat unresigned as he said, “After the five of us joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, we had nothing to do all day. When the imbalance phenomenon started, Mr. Seventh still didn’t do anything. We disagreed with his inaction so we came to the Unknown Land. Please understand, Pavilion Master.”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “Do you still remember the words you said in front of me that day?”
“…”
Sun Mu knew he had disregarded all the words he had said before. No matter how eloquent he was, it was useless to say anything now.
Mingshi Yin smiled and said, “I really admire you. Although you betrayed the Evil Sky Pavilion, you can still make it sound so righteous.”
‘Betrayed?’
The cultivators zeroed in on that word instantly. No matter the place, betrayal was intolerable. From small clans to large sects everywhere, betrayal was despised by everyone.
“I disagree.”
“I disagree as well.”
“Everyone has their roles to play. We, brothers, only wanted to be useful.”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
At this moment, Yuan Lang finally noticed the commotion near Lu Zhou’s side. The others were standing still respectfully, but that group of people there did not pay any attention to him at all. He scoffed before he and his companion swooped down from the sky.
“I’m asking a question. Hurry up and answer!”
The cultivators shook their heads and sighed inwardly. It seemed like a conflict was inevitable. The duo was part of the 49 Swordsmen of the Northern Mountain Range that was led by Venerable Master Qin; they were not to be trifled with.
In just a blink of an eye, the duo had arrived a few meters away from Lu Zhou. They wanted to use their strength to force him back.
Nevertheless, Lu Zhou did not look at them at all. All of a sudden, golden energy seals burst out.
The energy seals were like sound techniques, pushing Yuan Lang and his companion back.
Then, Lu Zhou’s thunderous voice that carried the immense force of the sea rang in the air. “You’re still wet behind the ears… Scram!”
Yuan Lang and his companion who were sent flying backward felt their chests grow numb. Their qi and blood surged violently in their bodies, and a tyrannical force tore at their Dantian’s seas of Qi. If the force was a little stronger, they would have been severely injured.
The duo flew back about 50 meters before they finally regained their footing. All of their arrogance and sense of superiority vanished without a trace at this moment.
Yuan Lang inhaled deeply and restrained his arrogance before he bowed and said, “Venerable Master Qin invites senior to have a chat.”
Lu Zhou continued to ignore Yuan Lang and looked at the five brothers.
Yuan Lang felt stifled. He had no choice but to say again, “There’s a great opportunity further north. Venerable Master Qin is really sincere about meeting you…”
Lu Zhou continued to ignore him.
Sun Mu and the others were still kneeling; the posture was rather uncomfortable. They trembled continuously as sweat drenched their backs when they saw how Lu Zhou completely disregarded Venerable Master Qin.
At this time, Mingshi Yin turned around and said, “Sincere?”
“This…”
“If he’s sincere, he should’ve come here. What kind of air is he trying to put on? Do you think anyone can just speak to my master? Are you dreaming?” Mingshi Yin said.
Yuan Lang’s face turned red.
Everyone was shocked. They were certain Lu Zhou was not a Venerable Master so they could not understand his arrogance.
Yuan Lang bowed and said, “Venerable Master Qin has something important to attend to. Otherwise, he would’ve come. It’s my fault for being rude and offending senior.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. My master is also very busy. Please don’t disturb my master,” Mingshi Yin said.
‘Is your Venerable Master the only one who’s busy? Why should my master go with you? How arrogant!’
Yuan Lang was rendered speechless by Mingshi Yin’s words. After a long while, he finally said, “I understand. I won’t disturb senior any longer. Farewell.”
The duo clutched their chests and left in a sorry state.
Yuan Lang said, “Junior understands… Junior will not disturb senior. Goodbye.”
Everyone. “…”
Everyone was dumbfounded. The duo left just like that? Were they not part of the 49 Swordsmen of the Northern Mountain Region? Were they not just arrogant a moment ago? Why were they bowing and scraping in the next moment? Most importantly, who was that old man that even Venerable Master Qin wanted to meet him?
Meanwhile, Kong Wen and his brothers gulped. Did they accidentally cling onto a super thick thigh and powerful thigh?
Kong Wen felt like fainting in embarrassment when he recalled himself saying he wanted to lead the battle.
…
Yuan Lang and his companion flew quite a distance away before they came to a halt.
Yuan Lang then launched into a violent coughing fit.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Yuan Lang placed his hand on his Dantian’s sea of Qi to calm his surging blood and qi.
His companion said furiously, “That person actually dared to disregard Venerable Master Qin! He’s really too bold!”
“He’s an expert. Otherwise, do you think I would have stood for that?” Yuan Lang said helplessly, “Moreover, Venerable Master Qin and the others have traveled north. Maybe they’ll run into him later. It’s not a bad thing to bear with it…”
“Is that old man a Venerable Master?”
“I don’t think so. However, his sound technique is very powerful and rarely seen,” Yuan Lang said, “Perhaps, he’s hiding the fact that he’s a Venerable Master…”
“…”
“Let’s meet up with the master first. That old thief, Ye Zheng, might appear soon.”
“Okay!”
The two turned around and took a look before they quickly disappeared into the black fog.
…
Lu Wu continued to stroke his beard as he looked at the five brothers who were kneeling in the air. Then, he asked tonelessly, “Do you know what I hate the most?”
The five shook their heads.
Lu Zhou said, “Betrayal.”
Sun Mu immediately prostrated himself. “We don’t dare to betray the Evil Sky Pavilion. Please understand, Pavilion Master… We really just wanted to try our luck in the Unknown Land!”
Yu Zhenghai scoffed. “Rules are needed for a reason. Without rules, there’ll be chaos. The Evil Sky Pavilion has its rules, and what you’ve violated is the Evil Sky Pavilion’s bottom line… You think the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion are beneath great talents like yourselves, right?”
The five brothers did not understand Yu Zhenghai’s meaning.
Yu Zhenghai continued to say, “The five of you think you’re great talents?”
The five brothers did not dare to speak despite feeling unresigned.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai suddenly flashed over. “Great Dark Heavenly Palm.”
A palm seal sailed toward the five brothers. They paled instantly and lifted their arms to shield themselves.
Bang!
All five of them were sent flying back; they did not dare to retaliate.
Yu Zhenghai sneered. “Great talents? What a joke! You can’t even withstand a palm strike from me, but you dare to call yourself great talents.”
Yu Zhenghai flashed over again and launched another palm strike.
At this moment, the five brothers drew a circle with their fingers. Soon enough, a witchcraft circle was formed.
Yu Zhenghai said, “Great talent? What a joke… you can’t even block a palm from me, and you still dare to call yourself a great talent?”
