The blue-clad female attendant said, “The Scales of Justice has detected a huge amount of vitality energy moving westward. It should be heading toward the green lotus domain. They’ve already sent an Equalizer to investigate.”
“Green lotus domain?” Lan Xihe slowly rose to her feet. Her long robes trailed on the ground as she flashed toward the blue-clad female attendant.
“Yes. Mr. Ouyang said it himself,” the blue-clad female attendant said.
“To be able to move the Scales of Justice, the amount of vitality energy must be huge…” Lan Xihe said, puzzled.
“Mr. Ouyang said this is likely a brief phenomenon. There’s a possibility that someone in the green lotus domain is about to become a Venerable Master or a Saint.”
Lan Xihe nodded. “You and the Halcyon Divine Bird had left once. If you leave again, it’ll attract attention. During this period of imbalance, you’re not to make decisions without consulting me.”
“Understood.”
…
After the vitality energy converged, Lu Zhou looked at his lifespan.
Remaining life: 5,096,862 days(13,964 years)
His lifespan had exceeded 10,000 years. The 10 advanced enhanced Reversal Cards had given him 5,000 years of life.
He found it strange that when so much vitality energy was being absorbed in Transient City, it did not create such a huge commotion like the Reversal Cards. Why did the Reversal Cards always cause such a commotion? It was too conspicuous.
In the green lotus domain where experts were as numerous as clouds, it was easy to attract unwanted attention.
…
It was just as Lu Zhou expected.
There were many cultivators watching the Zhao Residence’s movements at this moment. When they saw the converging vitality energy, they were shocked.
“Should we go have a look?”
“Lord Zhi said not to act rashly before we understand the situation of the Zhao Residence.”
“Lord Zhi also said that we should act according to the circumstances and find the right time to test the Zhao Residence. This is a great opportunity. To be able to draw such a massive amount of vitality energy, it’s most likely a divine artifact.”
These words swayed the other cultivators. Who could resist the temptation of a divine artifact?
There were also other cultivators who were afraid of Zhao Yu’s status and only curiously watched from afar.
There was no lack of people who liked watching shows.
A few figures appeared in the sky above the Zhao Residence. They greedily breathed in the remaining vitality energy in the air before they looked down at the Zhao Residence.
“This is Young Master Zhao’s manor... Let’s go!”
The tactful cultivators quickly left.
The cultivators who wanted to use this opportunity to investigate the situation began to entice the others.
“If we don’t have a look, don’t you think it’d be a waste?”
“We’re not stealing or robbing. Let’s go closer and have a look before we leave.”
Many cultivators were enticed and flew forward. When they drew close, a voice rang from below.
“I advise everyone to leave quickly.”
In just a flash, the green-clad Yu Shangrong appeared in the sky. He looked at the cultivators silently.
“May I ask your name? We’re all cultivators. Can we…”
Yu Shangrong interjected with an indifferent smile on his face, “No.”
“I haven’t finished speaking.”
Yu Shangrong said, “I only interrupted you because no matter what your request is, I’ll definitely reject it.”
“...”
“Where’s Young Master Zhao? We want to visit him. Can you convey our intention to him?”
As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, Yu Shangrong said as he flashed forward, “Sorry for the offense.”
Clank!
Yu Shangrong unsheathed the Longevity Sword. It shot out like a streak of red light. With the red runes, it glowed dazzlingly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
With a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye, the Longevity Sword shot toward the cultivators. They did not have time to react at all when the sword flew past them. It shuttled back and forth among them for a few breaths like a dragon before it flew in a semicircle and returned to its scabbard.
The night was quiet, and the scenery was pleasant.
All the cultivators saw was a red light streaking past them harmlessly with a whooshing sound before silence returned. Nothing had happened apart from that.
Everyone looked at Yu Shangrong, who was hovering at low altitude, in confusion. They did not understand what was going on. What was the offense? Was he just trying to frighten them?
After a brief moment…
Crack! Crack! Crack!
All of the cultivators’ weapons broke one after another. Those without weapons had their belts slashed.
“My saber!”
When some of them saw the straight and neat cut on their weapons, they shuddered and gulped.
“What an amazing sword skill!”
“Sorry, we didn’t mean to bother you. We’re leaving now!”
Swoosh!
When the several cultivators took the lead and flew away, the others no longer hesitated and followed suit.
With that, peace returned to the sky above the Zhao Residence.
At this time, Yu Zhenghai flashed and appeared next to Yu Shangrong. “Second Junior Brother, your sword skills have improved.”
“It’s just luck. I believe Eldest Senior Brother is very close to the second Birth Trial,” Yu Shangrong said.
Yu Zhenghai shook his head. “I’m still far from reaching the second Birth Trial. It’s too difficult cultivating with the golden lotus. If I want to break through, I’ll need some luck.”
“Cultivating after severing the lotus is the most difficult cultivation path. Just the act of severing the lotus requires one to be unafraid of death,” Yu Shangrong said.
“There’s no need for that now. With the life-saving pills, it’s much easier to sever the lotus now,” Yu Zhenghai said.
Yu Shangrong said, “There was no life-saving pill at the beginning of the lotus-severing era.”
At this time, a sigh sounded from below the duo. Little Yuan’er was rendered speechless by the duo’s ridiculous behavior. She shook her head and muttered under her breath, “Here it comes again.”
“Ninth Junior Sister, in your opinion, is it easier to sever the lotus or cultivate with the golden lotus?” Yu Shangrong asked before he said, “You just have to answer truthfully. Don’t let the fact that you cultivate with a golden lotus affect your answer.”
“I don’t know! Don’t ask me,” Little Yuan’er said before she turned and ran away.
The little Fire Phoenix hurriedly flew after her.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong:”...”
After Little Yuan’er left, no one else could be seen as well.
Only when Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong returned to their rooms to rest did everyone come out to get some fresh air.
…
At the same time, a few cultivators who had just left the Zhao Residence landed at a quiet corner of the city.
“How did the investigation go?” Zhi Wenzi asked. He placed his hands on his back as he looked at everyone.
“Indeed, there’s an expert in the Zhao Residence. If I’m not mistaken, that person should have about 12 Birth Charts.”
“Why do you say that?” Zhi Wenzi naturally would take these words at face value.
The cultivator replied, “He’s highly skilled with the sword. He cut down everyone’s weapons with just one move. Based on his aura, his control, and his skills when he attacked, his Birth Charts are definitely no fewer than 12.”
“Only 12?” Zhi Wenzi was puzzled. If the other party only had 12 Birth Charts, it did not seem possible for the other party to kill Xi Qishu. “This is the Qi orb. If you imbue a little energy into it, when you get close to an expert, it’ll emit a strong and weak flash of green light. Go to the Zhao Residence again with the Qi orb.”
“Ah?”
“The Qi orb can only be used for a short period of time. Now go and return quickly! Don’t make any mistakes.”
“Yes!” The cultivator hurriedly left with the Qi orb.
Following that, Zhi Wuzi appeared next to Zhi Wenzi and said, “Elder Brother, isn’t it too much of a waste to use the precious Qi orb?”
“Knowing yourself and your enemy will allow you to win the battle,” Zhi Wenzi replied.
