Chapter 994: All of You Can Scram Now

The Confinement Seal expanded another 100 feet. It was like a gigantic umbrella, shielding everyone from the violent wind and the torrential rain.

Chen You, who was overflowing with gratitude, fell to his knees in the air and said, “Thank you for saving my life, seniors.”

Several thousand disciples from the Humble White Sect followed suit and fell to their knees.

“Ding! Worshiped by 3,510 people. Reward: 3,510 merit points.”

Yu Zhenghai turned around and said, “Don’t drag us down. Keep up and hold on!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle between the First Elders of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council showed no sign of stopping anytime soon. In fact, it seemed to grow fiercer and fiercer as time passed.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Yu Zhenghai’s words, the cultivators from the Humble White Sect paled as realization dawned on them. Lu Zhou was more than strong enough to lift the Confinement Seal on his own and save everyone at the same time. However, he was not obligated to do so. With this thought in mind, all of them hurriedly lifted their hands and tried to be helpful.

Thousands of palm seals shot toward the Confinement Seal, lifting it.

In just an instant, the pressure on Lu Zhou lessened tremendously.

Just as the saying went, ‘There is strength in numbers’.

Although the members of the Humble White Sect were not particularly strong, they were most suited to deal with this kind of situation due to their numbers. Their collective strength easily held the Confinement Seal up.

With this, the Confinement Seal that spanned nearly 1,000 feet blocked the danger.

At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “I’ll go up and have a look.”

“Alright.” Xiao Yunhe nodded.

Needless to say, the others stayed put under the Confinement Seal.

Lu Zhou flashed to the top of the 1000-foot-long Confinement Seal and stood on top of it as though it was a huge ship. He held Unnamed that had been transformed into a shield and looked at the sky

While the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council were engaged in a fierce battle, there were no signs of fierce beasts at all.

Every time Xu Chen from the White Tower Council and Shi Youran from the Black Tower Council exchanged a blow, energy seals would fill the sky.

“Shi Youran, has your Black Tower Council taken advantage of the White Tower Council for so long that you’re deluded into thinking you can take advantage of me? I won’t let you act as you please.” Xu Chen laughed coldly.

“Let’s see if you have the ability to stop me. If one can win by shouting, donkeys would’ve ruled the world long ago,” Shi Youran said mockingly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Let me see what you have learned over the years.”

Black and white energy swords flew in the air again.

Lu Zhou was also surprised. ‘This is the strength of Ten Chart cultivators?’

He would need at least two enhanced Deadly Strike Cards to deal with Shi Youran and Xu Chen, unless Xiao Yunhe could deal with one of them. There were still other cultivators from the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council to consider as well, apart from the First Elders. Moreover, there were also those from the Dark Light Alliance and Great Yuan’s royal court.

“Lower the altitude,” Lu Zhou said.

The Confinement Seal lowered itself as soon as Lu Zhou finished speaking.

“Advance.”

With the support from everyone, the Confinement Seal slowly advanced through the fog, passing by several mountains.

At this moment, Wu Chao said, “It’s right in front.”

Upon hearing this, Chen You said anxiously, “Senior, we can’t advance any further.”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said tonelessly, “Think carefully. If you decide to turn back, you’ll only be met with a dead-end.”

“This…” A sense of helplessness rose in Chen You’s heart. After a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind as he said, “Alright, let’s take a gamble today! Everyone, hold on!”

“Understood.”

Their momentum was great. Although their cultivation bases were not profound, they had the advantage of numbers.

The Confinement Seal continued to advance.

The dozens of members from the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council on the left and the right respectively were stuck in a deadlock.

They saw many dead fierce beasts below. Their corpses piled high up like a mountain.

Chen You and the others gulped when they saw this.

Chen You looked envious as he said, “At least one-third of the fierce beasts are Birth Chart Beasts. There are so many of them!”

Lu Zhou moved to the edge and looked down. “No wonder the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council are fighting to the death…”

There were so many Birth Chart Beasts that their numbers exceeded the number of Birth Chart Beasts that were seen in the red lotus domain over the past ten years. These life hearts alone could easily raise the strength of a faction to a new level.

Although Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to the two First Elders’ battle, he had no doubt they were still keeping an eye out for Ying Zhao as they fought. He said, “If any of you spot Ying Zhao, inform me immediately. You’ll be handsomely rewarded.”

The people from the Humble White Sect were not interested in Ying Chao, to begin with. Therefore, they were happy to help Lu Zhou out.

At this moment, Chen You said, “Ying Zhao has the body of a horse and the face of a human. It’s covered in leopard spots and has a pair of wings.”

“Are you sure?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Yes.” Chen You nodded.

Lu Zhou silently recited the mantra for the power of sight. With the Heavenly Writing Power, he easily saw past the clouds, rocks, mountains, and grass. The ground was littered with corpses, and the metallic stench of blood permeated the air. All kinds of Birth Chart Beasts could be seen on the ground. Unfortunately, none of them matched Chen You’s description. As expected, the intelligent Birth Chart Beast was really cunning.

At this time, a thunderous voice rang from below.

“Those who have no business here, please leave! Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

The members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council raised their heads and saw the 1,000-foot-long Confinement Seal.

Chen You and the thousands of Humble White Sect cultivators were shocked out of their wits.

With this, the Confinement Seal came to a stop.

At this moment, Xiao Yunhe flashed and appeared next to Lu Zhou. He said in a hushed tone, “I suggest we avoid them for the time being; there’s no need to fight with them head-on. Xu Chen and Shi Youran are engaged in a fierce battle now, and the Dark and Light Alliance and Great Yuan’s royal court aren’t here yet. If we entangle with them, we’ll surely end up being targeted.”

Lu Zhou’s expression remained unchanged as he stroked his beard and mulled over the situation. After such a fierce battle, the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council were heavily injured. Both sides were just waiting for the outcome of Xu Chen and Shi Youran’s battle.

At this moment…

Boom!

The clouds and fog in the sky were dispersed by white and black energy seals, causing the sky to brighten for a moment.

Following that, it fell eerily silent. Xu Chen and Shi Youran were nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Lu Zhou moved slightly and withdrew the Confinement Seal.

The thousands of Humble White Sect cultivators heaved a sigh of relief.

“Alright, let’s avoid them.” Lu Zhou decided to follow Xiao Yunhe’s plan.

Suddenly, bursts of laughter rang from the distant mountains before someone said in a booming voice, “Since you’re already here, you shouldn’t leave.”

Soon enough, a flying chariot that resembled a black coffin appeared before everyone’s eyes. At one end of the coffin was a symbol that looked like the sun.

“The Dark and Light Alliance!”

“What are they doing here at this time?”

The members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council looked at the black coffin in shock.

Shen Xi sighed and said in a resigned tone, “It’s not just the Dark and Light Alliance. Look behind them…”

Behind the black coffin, several huge flying chariots could be seen. The flags on each flying chariot fluttered ostentatiously in the air, looking magnificent. Most importantly, all of the flags bore the character ‘Yuan’.

“Great Yuan’s royal court…” Chen You shook his head helplessly. He looked at the Birth Chart Beasts on the ground with regret.

The Dark and Light Alliance and Great Yuan’s royal court did not seem to care about Ying Zhao. It was clear their targets were the Birth Chart Beasts below. Even if they were low-level Birth Chart Beasts, their life hearts could collectively raise the strength of an entire faction.

The flying chariots with the ostentatious flags came to a halt. A man dressed in embroidered robes appeared and looked at the members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. “There are so many Birth Chart Beasts. It stands to reason that those who lay eyes on them should have a share…”

“King Chen Wu’s words are very reasonable. Those who lay eyes on them should have a share…” A mocking voice rang from the flying chariot that resembled a black coffin.

Lu Zhou did not move.

After a few seconds of silence, King Chen Wu, who stood in the flying chariot, said with a smile, “Of course, this doesn’t apply to the Humble White Sect…”

“That’s only natural. However, I’m curious. Since when did an old man appear in the Humble White Sect who dared to withstand the energies from the First Elders of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council?” the person from the black coffin said before laughing derisively. Then, he added, “Anyway, that’s not important. The Humble White Sect should scram now!”

Lu Zhou was puzzled. “Who are these two people?”

Xiao Yunhe said, “That person in the flying chariot with the ostentatious flag is Chen Tianbao, the King of Wu. Ten years ago, he had already possessed eight Birth Charts. That person in the black coffin is a master assassin from the Dark and Light Alliance. His name is Ye Liuyun. It’s said that there’s no one with fewer than nine Birth Charts he can’t assassinate.”

Chen You sighed helplessly. These were all prominent figures whom they could not afford to offend. He turned and bowed at Lu Zhou. “Thank you for saving our lives, Senior Lu. We’ll take our leave now.”

When Chen You turned around to lead the thousands of cultivators from the Humble White Sect away, Ye Liuyun’s voice rang mockingly from the black coffin. “Hey, old man! Your cultivation base seems alright. Let’s see you withstand my palm strike.”

Earlier, when the Dark and Light Alliance were at the horizon, Ye Liuyun had seen Lu Zhou standing on the Confinement Seal. He was puzzled; when did an expert appear in the Humble White Sect? His interest was piqued immediately.

Swoosh!

A black palm seal shot out of the black coffin.

Xiao Yunhe reminded Lu Zhou in a low voice, “Be careful. It’s not a palm seal.”

Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing’s power of sight. In just a moment, he saw a cone-shaped hidden weapon in the black palm seal.

Following that, Lu Zhou raised his hand that glowed with a blue light and caught the hidden weapon with two fingers. He raised his head and looked at the black coffin. “You dare to plot against me?”

“Don’t be petty. It’s my duty to test you. Moreover, aren’t you fine? Why don’t you join our Dark and Light Alliance? How can the group of trash from the Humble White Sect be worthy of you?” Ye Liuyun said with a smile from the black coffin.

Lu Zhou shook his head expressionlessly. In his eyes, Ye Liuyun was already a dead man. Apart from his item cards, he currently had his supreme mystic powers and all kinds of precious treasures. Even if he could not win, he could definitely escape. How could he allow others to insult him? Therefore, he said, “You better come out and apologize to me now. Perhaps, I might spare your life.”
