‘Uh… Aren’t you the Unholy One, to begin with?’
Jie Jin’an said helplessly, “Your return this time will surely attract the Great Void’s attention. Don’t recklessly go against the ten halls or the Sacred Temple this time.”
“Are you looking down on me?” Lu Zhou asked.
Jie Jin’an was slightly taken aback. He said, “No, no, no, don’t be so sensitive. I just want to remind you not to look down on Ming Xin.”
At the same time, the scene of the Unholy One’s defeat appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind, and he fell silent. At that time, the Great Void had lost four supreme beings before they could even bring the Unholy One down. One could see that Ming Xin was not simple. Moreover, there was not only Ming Xin in the Great Void, there were also the ten halls and the emperors from the Lost Lands.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Zhou thought that, from a certain point of view, it was not entirely a bad thing that his disciples were captured earlier.
When Lu Zhou regained his senses, he saw Jie Jin’an looking ill at ease so he asked, “Is there anything else?”
“No.” Jie Jin’an laughed dryly.
“If there’s a chance, I’ll come to the Great Abyss Land again,” Lu Zhou said. Then, he stomped on the ground and rose up to join the others before leading them to the runic passage.
Jie Jin’an watched them until they disappeared into the horizon before he let out a long sigh. He muttered under his breath, “He really hasn’t changed at all. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse. There were really quite a few people who betrayed us back then. I hope you don’t die again.”
After a moment, Jie Jin’an spat and said, “Bah, I shouldn’t use the word ‘again’!”
Subsequently, Jie Jin’an turned around, sighing emotionally.
At this moment, a dignified voice rang by Jie Jin’an’s ears.
“Jie Jin’an.”
The voice sounded as though it came from hell, and it frightened Jie Jin’an. He spun around and asked with widened eyes, “Who is it?!”
A figure appeared nearby. When the bright light dimmed, a pair of pure white wings suffused with the Saint Light appeared in front of Jie Jin’an’s eyes.
Jie Jin’an exclaimed in surprise, “Your Majesty?!”
Emperor Yu looked at Jie Jin’an calmly and silently.
Jie Jin’an said guiltily, “I was just taking a walk. Why did Your Majesty come here?”
Emperor Yu still looked at Jie Jin’an silently.
Jie Jin’an scratched his head and removed his mask before he said, “I’ll return now.”
At the same time, Emperor Yu suddenly said, “I’ve never bothered with you even though you used to follow the Unholy One.”
Jie Jin’an stopped in his tracks, not knowing what to say.
Emperor Yu continued to say, “I’ve always respected the strong, but I will never tolerate traitors.”
Jie Jin’an’s heart tightened immediately. He said with a frown, “I’ve always been loyal to the Great Abyss Land, and I’ve never betrayed the Great Abyss Land.”
“Is that so?”
“I swear to the heavens!”
“Do you think I’m unaware that you previously faked the message from the White Emperor?” Emperor Yu asked.
Jie Jin’an: “…”
Jie Jin’an said, “I don’t understand what Your Majesty is saying.”
Emperor Yu smiled mysteriously and said, “Nevermind. You’ll understand soon enough.”
Then, Emperor Yu waved his hand.
Four experts from the Feather tribe standing behind Emperor Yu glowed with Saint Light. Their auras were extraordinary.
Then, Emperor Yu said indifferently, “Seal Jie Jin’an’s cultivation and imprison him in the Great Abyss prison. Wait for further orders.”
“Understood.”
…
A day later.
At Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction.
The towering icicle barrier stood firm.
Lu Zhou sat on Whitzard’s back and appeared nearby. He said, “Wait here.”
“Understood.”
Lu Zhou flew forward alone as he looked at the Pillar of Destruction that pierced through the clouds. It had clearly aged compared to the last time he was here. When he appeared at the ring-shaped lake, he looked at the icicle with a puzzled expression. After a moment, he did not beat around the bush and called out, “Princess Mulberry.”
There was no response.
Lu Zhou placed his hand against the icicle barrier. When the faint heat his hand emitted was about to melt the barrier…
Swoosh!
A figure in a long dress rushed down from the top of the icicle barrier and attacked.
Lu Zhou looked up and met the attack with his bare hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Water splashed up into the sky before shooting in all directions like water arrows.
Lu Zhou remained nonchalant and relaxed as he neutralized Princess Mulberry’s attacks.
After about 100 moves, Princess Mulberry finally stopped attacking. She looked at Lu Zhou in surprise as she exclaimed, “It’s you?!”
Lu Zhou said calmly, “It’s been 100 years, and you’re still hiding in the icicle barrier.”
“100 years have passed, and your cultivation has improved so much?”
“People will always improve,” Lu Zhou replied.
“You’re the one who destroyed the pillar. I have to be on guard,” Princess Mulberry said.
“To prevent the sky from falling?” Lu Zhou looked up at the magnificent icicle barrier. She had formed such a tall ice barrier to help hold the sky up and prevent it from falling. Who knew if it would work, but he felt rather speechless by her method.
“Why are you here again? You have no business here,” Princess Mulberry asked.
Lu Zhou asked bluntly, “Where’s the Scarlet Emperor?”
As soon as Princess Mulberry heard the words ‘Scarlet Emperor’, she frowned deeply and said angrily, “Don’t mention him in front of me.”
“Where is he?” Lu Zhou asked again.
“I said, don’t mention him to me!” Princess Mulberry grew even angrier.
“Do you hate him a lot?”
“I hate him!”
“Very good! I’m going to look for trouble with him,” Lu Zhou said.
Upon hearing this, Princess Mulberry frowned in confusion. “You want to look for trouble with him?”
Lu Zhou nodded.
Princess Mulberry thought about it for a moment before she said, looking like an easily-deceived little girl, “Then, you should find him quickly! He’s at the Southern Flaming Sea.”
“Southern Flaming Sea?”
“Grandpa Weiyang, the Azure Emperor, said that person might be leaving for the Great Void in a few days. You have to hurry!” Princess Mulberry said.
