Chapter 1396: Beaten From Top to Bottom
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhou was a Great Venerable Master, after all. Moreover, he was flying at a high altitude. With this, it was difficult for ordinary cultivators to discover him.
According to the information he previously obtained, the overall strength of the jade lotus domain should be above that of the green lotus domain. Even then, there was only one Saint. In other words, apart from Chen Fu, Lu Zhou was not afraid of anyone else.
Although there were likely other Venerable Masters in this place, they valued their Birth Charts greatly and would not simply make an enemy out of Lu Zhou.
After flying for a day, Lu Zhou finally came to a stop above a mountain.
“Eastern capital or western capital?” Lu Zhou muttered under his breath. Where was Chen Fu?
The eastern capital and the western capital were the two largest cities here. A Saint might not live in a bustling city. However, there was also the possibility that the Saint was hiding in the city.
Lu Zhou had long seen a sect on the mountain. Based on the architecture of the place, it was likely not a small sect. He decided to ask for directions there.
Lu Zhou told Whitzard to wait in the sky before he flashed and appeared at the sect’s entrance. He restrained his aura and looked for the person with the highest cultivation base. As he walked, he saw many disciples coming and going.
Lu Zhou shook his head. These were people with low cultivation bases; he would not be able to get anything useful out of them.
At this time...
“Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before? Oh, wait, are you a new outer sect disciple?”
Lu Zhou turned around and saw a man who looked about his age and nodded. He thought it would be best for him to use his Disguise Card next time. He would not be so lucky every single time, after all.
The person shook his head and said with a frown, “That’s not right. Our Sunset Sect hasn’t recruited disciples for a long time now... Who are you?!”
Lu Zhou: “...”
The person had just turned away when he realized a huge palm seal had already grabbed him.
Lu Zhou knocked the person unconscious and shoved him into a corner. Then, he used his Disguise Card and changed his appearance to that of the person he had just knocked out.
With that, Lu Zhou moved unimpeded. However, when he arrived at a hall, he heard someone say, “Zhou Tian, halt your steps.”
Lu Zhou turned around and saw another older cultivator. He sensed the other party’s cultivation base was about
A voice came over, “Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before... Oh, a new outer sect disciple, right?”
Lu Zhou turned around and saw a disciple who was about his age, so he nodded.
Next time, it would be more convenient to use a disguise card. It was impossible to be so lucky every time and let others think in a reasonable direction.
With that thought in mind, that person quickly shook his head, “That’s not right. Our Sunset sect hasn’t recruited a disciple for a long time... Something is wrong with you!”
Lu Zhou:”...”
He stretched out his five fingers. Just as that person was about to leave, he realized that Lu Zhou’s large hand was like the grim reaper, grabbing onto him.
He pushed him forward, knocking him unconscious and pushing him into a corner.
Lu Zhou then used his disguise card and changed his appearance according to this person’s appearance.
Then, he turned around and left.
Lu Zhou’s path was smooth.
No one stopped him.
Only when he arrived at the Sunset Hall did someone say, “Zhou Tian, don’t trespass.”
Lu Zhou turned around and saw that it was an older cultivator. He sensed that the other party should have passed his first Birth Trial. He finally met someone with a decent cultivation base. Since he did not recognize the other person, he did not react.
The person came up to him and said, “Didn’t you hear what I said? The sect leader is cultivating in seclusion.”
Lu Zhou echoed, “The sect leader is cultivating in seclusion?”
“Zhou Tian! Enough is enough. Leave,” the person said, slightly unhappy.
“I have a way to help the sect leader,” Lu Zhou said, slightly awkward. He had gotten too used to his manner of speaking that it took a little more effort to change the way he spoke.
‘This feels awkward. But let’s put on an act for now.’
The person’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Zhou Tian, what’s wrong with you today? It’s good enough if you don’t help.”
“How do you know I won’t be able to help if you won’t let me try?” Lu Zhou asked.
“Is that so?”
That person was about to raise his hand when Lu Zhou raised his hand as well.
Bang!
Two palm seals collided.
The person was pushed by an immense force in just an instant. A horrified expression appeared on his face as he stammered, “Z-zhou Tian, you... h-how’s this possible?!”
Lu Zhou walked forward.
As expected, a dignified voice rang from within the hall, “Let him in.”
“Understood.” The other person looked at Lu Zhou with a complicated expression. He scratched his head in confusion as he left.
When Lu Zhou entered the hall, he saw an old man with a head full of black hair sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The old man was Yan Mu, the Sect Master of the Sunset Sect.
Yan Mu asked, “You’ve disguised yourself as Zhou Tian. What do you want?”
Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. “You’re quite smart.”
“I’m very familiar with Zhou Tian’s cultivation base. You can fool the others, but you can’t fool me. I’m sure you didn’t come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. If you have anything to say, say it.”
Lu Zhou said, “I came to ask about someone.”
“Who is it?”
“Chen Fu.”
“...”
Yan Mu laughed before he asked, “Are you joking?”
“The Saint is so elusive. Do you think it’s so easy to meet him?” Yan Mu said.
Lu Zhou said, “You just need to tell me where he is.”
Yan Mu thought about it for a moment. He thought no one in this world could threaten Chen Fu anyway so he said, “It’s said that Saint Chen appeared in Luoyang three days ago. You can go there and have a look.”
Lu Zhou fell silent for a moment before he said, “Why don’t you be my guide?”
Lu Zhou thought it would be much more convenient if he had a guide here. He would not have to run around like a headless fly that way.
Yan Mu was slightly taken aback by Lu Zhou’s suggestion. He frowned and said stiffly, “Did you come to insult me? You want me, the Sect Master of Sunset Sect, to be your guide?”
“You’re not willing?”
“Very well. If you come with ill intentions, then don’t blame me for reciprocating,” Yan Mu said. He did not believe a stranger would break into the sect just to ask about Chen Fu.
Lu Zhou looked at Yan Mu and said, “You’re seriously injured. Your internal organs are damaged, and your Dantian’s sea of Qi also show signs of damage.”
Yan Mu was so shocked by these words that he instinctively rose to his feet.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “If I make a move, even ten of you won’t be able to stop me.”
Lu Zhou shattered a Concealment Card before he pushed jade green lotus out.
The jade green lotus brimming with vitality energy landed on Yan Mu’s body. In just a blink of an eye, his damaged Dantian’s sea of Qi was healing rapidly.
Yan Mu was thoroughly shocked. “Y-you...”
Yan Mu had been cultivating in seclusion for three days, and yet, his injuries did not heal much at all. How could he not be shocked when his injuries were healing at a rapid rate now? With such skills, there was no need for the person in front of him to play tricks. His attitude changed immediately as he said humbly, “Thank you, senior.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “I won’t forget the favor if you help me find Saint Chen.”
After sensing his healed Dantian’s sea of Qi, Yan Mu no longer cared about his prestige as a sect master. He nodded and said, “I’ll do as you say.”
Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in the sky.
Yan Mu was shocked again as chills crept up his spine. ‘Venerable Master?’
Yan Mu hurriedly gathered his thoughts and flew up to the sky. Then, he said to the people below, “I’m going to the western capital.”
With that, Yan Mu followed Lu Zhou and left the Sunset Sect.
...
After leaving the Sunset Sect, Yan Mu asked with an awkward expression, “Senior, can you revert to your original appearance? It’s really strange when I see Zhou Tian’s face.”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “You’ll get used to it.”
This was the effect of the Disguise Card, after all. Moreover, it was best to maintain a low profile instead of running amok with his identity as a Venerable Master. Many troubles could be avoided by maintaining a low profile.
Yan Mu nodded. Then, when he saw Whitzard flying over, he asked, surprised, “Whitzard your mount, senior?”
Lu Zhou ignored Yan Mu. He rode on Whitzard’s back and flew forward.
Yan Mu followed after Lu Zhou. This time, he had met a big shot. He took the initiative to say, “The western capital, like its name suggests, is located in the west of Great Han. It was originally the largest city before the domains split. Now, there’s also the eastern capital. There’s a high probability that Saint Chen is in the western capital.”
Lu Zhou said, “Chen Fu, a Saint, would also go to such a lively place?”
“The Saint’s ten great disciples are all famous figures. One of them is the emperor of Great Han. Every ten years or so, the Saint would stay in the western capital for a period of time.”
“Ten great disciples?”
‘Why does he sound a little like me?’
An expression of awe appeared on Yan Mu’s face as he said, “Among his ten disciples, four of them are Venerable Masters. Out of the six Venerable Masters in Great Han, four of them are Saint Chen’s disciples. He’s truly worthy of respect.”
Lu Zhou thought about his own disciples. ‘The gap seems a little big...’
If this was a competition, Lu Zhou felt like he had been beaten from top to bottom.
