Chapter 1173: The First Appearance of a Venerable Master

After the clouds returned to normal, Lu Wu tucked its tails away and descended on the ground.

Lu Zhou surveyed his surroundings and asked, slightly surprised, “Is this your ultimate move?”

Lu Wu retorted, “Why ask when you already know the answer?”

Lu Zhou felt slightly speechless.
“I healed you in return for you lending me your life heart.
How are you going to protect my disciple if you squander all your strength in one go?”

Naturally, if it was possible, Lu Zhou would prefer to kill everyone from the monster hunting squad.
The problem with Lu Wu’s actions was that if another problem occurred at this time, they would be without support.
Since the monster hunting squad found this place, it meant their tracking technique was not simple.
With Lu Wu making such a huge commotion, would it not attract people’s attention?

“Aren’t you the same?” Lu Wu said.

“…”

‘Fine, you win!’

Lu Zhou silently recited incantations for the Heavenly Writing’s power of hearing and power of smell.
After confirming there were no signs of life, he cut off the powers and said, “Let’s go.”

Lu Wu exhaled deeply, pulling Duanmu Sheng to him.

Ye Tianxin and Conch quickly flew onto Cheng Huang’s back as well.

Lu Wu seemed to hesitate for a moment before it glanced at Lu Zhou and said, “Since you kept your promise, I’ll give you a ride…”

Lu Zhou smiled faintly and did not refuse.
Then, he said to Cheng Huang, “Follow us.”

Wuuuuu!

Boom!

Lu Wu leaped up, causing the earth to shake violently.
The human ice sculptures in the vicinity shattered like glass immediately after falling to the ground.

“Hurry up, hurry up!” Conch urged Cheng Huang.

With that Cheng Huang took flight, chasing after Lu Wu.

With its pride as a beast emperor, how could Lu Wu let itself be at a disadvantage again? It did not give Cheng Huang a chance at all as it disappeared into the clouds.

“This…” Conch was a little lost.
“Master won’t leave us behind, right?”

“Don’t worry.
He won’t,” Ye Tianxin said with a smile.

Lu Wu was too competitive.
How could it be satisfied if it did not show its crushing power this time?

As expected, after two hours of crossing mountains and rivers, Cheng Huang did not know where Lu Wu had gone.

Wuuuuu!

Conch patted Cheng Huang’s back.
“Don’t be upset.
You’ll catch up to it sooner or later…”

As soon as Conch’s voice fell, Lu Wu descended from above in front of Cheng Huang.
It looked at Cheng Huang with a leisurely expression.

Cheng Huang was confused by Lu Wu’s sudden appearance.
It did not understand what Cheng Huang was trying to do.

Lu Wu’s expression was arrogant and its tone was condescending as it said, “Too slow.”

Cheng Huang.
“…”

Cheng Huang’s ears pricked up, and it made a squeaking noise as though it was unresigned.

At this moment, Lu Zhou who was standing on top of Lu Wu, said, “That’s enough.
Let’s hurry up.
Make sure to restrain your aura.
They should have a way to track us from our auras.”

Lu Wu nodded slightly and said, “Damn… humans.”

Then, Lu Wu leaped and continued on their journey.
This time, it did not move at full speed so Cheng Huang could keep up with it.

Their journey was smooth, and they did not encounter many fierce beasts.

At this time, Lu Wu felt as though he had gotten used to the scenery at the periphery of the Unknown Land.

Mountain ranges, huge peaks that towered through the clouds, and the occasional lakes that were shrouded in dense fog sped past them.

They stopped at one of the lakes for a while before they continued traveling east.

At this time, Lu Zhou asked, “Lu Wu, have you seen a blue avatar before?”

Lu Wu’s ears twitched slightly before it replied, “Why do you always ask questions you already know the answers to?”

“…”

Lu Zhou calmly asked, “Who else has a blue avatar?”

“You’re the only one in the world…” Lu Wu replied.

“…”

‘I’m really not that untrustworthy Lu Tiantong…’

Lu Wu said in a deep voice, “You were… exposed… earlier, and I… killed… all of them.
You should… thank me.
It’s not easy… when you… create a new… cultivation method… People will… fear you… or treat you… like public enemy… number one…”

‘A new cultivation method?’

If the blue avatar was a new cultivation method and gained momentum, it was not surprising if it was shunned by those who cultivated orthodox cultivation methods.

Lu Wu believed Lu Zhou was Lu Tiantong.
Based on its words, it was obvious Lu Tiantong had cultivated the blue avatar as well.

Lu Zhou shook his head slightly, wondering what secrets were hiding behind this matter.
Even Lan Xihe, the Tower Master of the White Tower Council, had reminded him to pay attention to hiding the power of heaven and earth.

‘The power of Heaven and earth…’ Lu Zhou fell deep into his thoughts.

Based on his system, Lu Zhou’s power was the extraordinary power and the supreme mystic power, but many people mistook it for the power of heaven and earth.
This kind of misunderstanding would bring him unnecessary trouble as well.
When he was in the golden lotus domain, red lotus domain, black lotus domain, and white lotus domain, he could still act unrestrained.
However, in the Unknown Land or the Great Void, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to keep a low profile.

Lu Zhou nodded to himself.
He felt he was a very low-key person.

Five days later.

The place where the three mountains used to stand was frozen and in a mess.
Blood, corpses, leveled mountains, rubble, debris, and fallen trees were all that was left.

However, the plants in the Unknown Land were much more tenacious than normal plants.
With time, they would grow again.

Only silence permeated the place.

After a long time, a faint figure could be seen in the distant mist-covered sky.
The figure flew past the sea clouds before finally coming to a stop above the frozen land.

The person looked like a scholar dressed in a grey Confucian robe.
He did not look that old, but the hair at his temples was already slightly white.
He wore a calm expression on his thin face as he surveyed the frozen land.

After a while, the person sighed softly.
“In the end, I came too late…”

His expression remained the same as he lowered his altitude and flashed to the other side.
He flashed again and again to different positions before he finally came to a stop near a huge rock where the foot of the mountains used to be.

He raised his hand before a jade-green light burst forth from his palm.

With that, the ice around the rock began to thaw.

He flicked his hand, moving the rock away.

There was a person lying on the ground beneath the huge rock.
The person did not move at all.

The scholar pushed his hand out again.

Jade-green light shone on the person on the ground after that.
All of a sudden, the person began gasping before making gurgling noises in his throat.
At the same time, his body trembled violently.

The scholar called out, “Ye Wusheng…”

“V-venerable… Master…” Ye Wusheng’s eyes were brimming with fear.

“Where’s Lu Wu?”

“It… It ran… Monster hunting squad… 40 people… all of them died…” Ye Wusheng could not finish his words and began to sob.
Grief assaulted his heart as he muttered over and over again, “Ye Cheng… Ye Cheng… I’m sorry.
It’s my fault…”

Ye Wusheng’s brother, Ye Cheng, had died a long time ago.
It was likely Ye Cheng did not even have an intact corpse.

The Confucian scholar was the Ye clan’s Venerable Master, Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng asked, “Lu Wu is capable of that?”

“No… another person… He’s too… too terrifying…” Ye Wusheng trembled.
His mind was in a mess.

“Who?” Ye Zheng asked indifferently.

“No… I don’t know… Not a Venerable Master… I don’t remember… I don’t remember…” Ye Wusheng said incoherently.

Ye Zheng raised his hand again.

A ring of light shot out and landed on Ye Wusheng’s body.

“Look at me,” Ye Cheng said.
His voice seemed to contain magic, bringing with it a sense of peace to Ye Wusheng.

Ye Wusheng raised his head in a daze.

“Breathe.”

Ye Wusheng breathed as he was ordered to.

“Calm down.”

Ye Wusheng calmed down.

Ye Zheng nodded lightly and asked again, “Who is he?”

“I… don’t know him…” Ye Wusheng replied mechanically.

“Where’s he now?”

“I don’t know…”

Ye Zheng looked at Ye Wusheng silently.
