“Fortunately, Brother Lu is here.” Xiao Yunhe finally relaxed. Seeing the figure in the sky launching palm seals after palm seals and making the five brothers fly up and down, he felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was a thorough beating.
The violent beating lasted for about 15 minutes or so before the five brothers finally fell to the ground with bruises on their faces.
Lu Zhou’s movements were as graceful as a cat’s as he landed on the ground.
Now that the fight was over, silence descended.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back before he slowly walked forward. After he came to a stop next to the three brothers, he asked tonelessly, “Do you still want to continue?”
Lu Zhou knew these five people were not simple. It was their bad luck that the supreme mystic power was the natural nemesis of witchcraft.
He knew that these five people were not simple, but who asked the power of supreme mystery to overcome sorcery?
Previously, when he still had the extraordinary power, he was immune to Buddhist sound techniques and witchcraft. Now that extraordinary power had been upgraded to the supreme mystic power, coupled with the Heavenly Writing Scroll he had just comprehended, he was even less afraid of witchcraft. Dealing with these five people was no different from a wolf attacking a flock of sheep.
The five brothers struggled to sit up. Their faces were bruised and swollen; they looked very miserable.
“He’s very strong.”
“It hurts a little…”
“Why don’t we… forget about this?”
“I agree.”
“I agree as well.”
“What are your names?” Lu Zhou asked.
The five brothers replied in unison:
“Sun Mu.”
“Zhan Jin.”
“Su Shui.”
“Shan Huo.”
“Liu Tu.”
“Where are you from?” Lu Zhou continued to ask.
“Green… green lotus domain…”
“Which force do you belong to in the green lotus domain?” Lu Zhou asked.
The number of green lotus cultivators coming here had clearly increased.
“Sectless… We’re sectless cultivators.”
“Sectless cultivators?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. It was not easy for a sectless cultivator to reach the cultivation level of the five brothers.
“Senior, the five of us have been determined to pursue the path of cultivation since we were young. After we mastered various cultivation methods, we ventured to the Unknown Land and spent most of our time there. That’s how we raise our cultivation base,” Sun Mu said.
Su Shui said with a sorrowful expression on his face, “We just want our things back. We don’t dare to stay here for too long. Please show mercy, senior.”
The other three brothers said simultaneously, “Please show mercy, senior.”
Lu Zhou nodded before he asked, “Do you know Wei Jingye and Wei Jiangnan
Su Shui was taken aback upon hearing these words. He furrowed his brows and said, “These two brothers are famous thugs in the Unknown Land! Senior, you’re from the golden lotus domain, how do you know them?”
“I’ve seen them in the Unknown Land… There are so many green lotus cultivators in the Unknown Land?” Lu Zhou frowned.
“I’ll speak.”
“No, I’ll speak.”
“Let me do it!”
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Pick one person. As for the others, shut up!”
“As cultivators, we need many life hearts and different resources. Sectless cultivators like us can only depend on ourselves to raise our cultivation bases. The smarter ones, like those in the monster hunting squad, would team up. Working in teams has a higher success rate, and the probability of an accident is low. There are also sectless cultivators who accept missions from famous sects and clans. They risk their lives to look for rare treasures and resources such as the mystic microstones. In fact, after we complete this mission, we would be able to obtain some decent beast kings’ life hearts and pills. At that time, we’ll be able to join the monster hunting squad. Once we join the squad, we’ll have a force to rely on and can be considered to have a foothold in the Unknown Land,” Sun Mu said. Then, he paused and pointed at Xiao Yunhe before he said somewhat angrily, “Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that after the five of us risked our lives to obtain the mystic life grass in the Dark Water Canyon, he would still it from us!”
Xiao Yunhe. “…”
Xiao Yunhe felt quite embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “You want to join the monster hunting squad?”
“That’s right. However, we can only join if we have the mystic life grass,” Sun Mu said.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I’m afraid you can never join the monster hunting squad…”
“Huh?”
“Something has happened to them.” Lu Zhou said.
“…”
All five of them looked at Lu Zhou skeptically.
Lu Zhou said, “You can verify this matter later.” Then, he looked at them and continued to say, “I’m not an unreasonable person. I’m afraid I can’t return the mystic life grass to you. However, I can give you a place to stay.”
The five brothers were stunned.
“A place to stay?”
“A place to stay?”
Lu Zhou really wanted to find an opportunity to use the Upgrade Card. However, he had to make careful preparations beforehand.
Lu Zhou looked at the five brothers and said, “The Evil Sky Pavilion.”
The five of them looked at each other in confusion.
“What kind of place is the Evil Sky Pavilion?”
“Is it one-tenth as powerful as the monster hunting squad?”
“If it’s a tenth, no, if it’s a fifth as powerful as the monster hunting squad, we’ll consider joining.”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
Ming Shiyin patted Qiong Qi before he stepped forward. He said with a smile, “You’ll consider it? Who do you think you are? It’ll depend on your performance if you want to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. Do you think you just join as you wish?”
Most humans shared a loathsome attribute. If things were too easy, they would disdain it; they would only think it’s precious if it’s difficult to obtain.
Mingshi Yin pointed at Sun Mu, who was standing on the left, and asked, “What’s your cultivation level?”
All five of them replied in unison, “I have six Birth Charts.”
Mingshi Yin nodded. “Even your strength is the same. Do you know how many people want to join the Evil Sky Pavilion?”
The five of them shook their heads.
Mingshi Yin pointed at Xiao Yunhe in the distance and said, “Xiao Yunhe, the former Tower Master of the Black Towe Council, has 12 Birth Charts, but he couldn’t join the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
“Sikong Beichen, the Temple Master of the Ninth Temple, wants to join the Evil Sky Pavilion as well, but it’s impossible.”
“Nie Qingyun, the Sect Master of the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain, wants to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, but it’s also impossible.”
Hearing the list of grand titles, the five brothers’ eyes widened in surprise.
Mingshi Yin continued riding on the momentum and asked, “That monster hunting squad, how powerful are they?”
No matter what their replies were, Mingshi Yin already had a comeback prepared.
Sun Mu replied, “Captain Cao has 15 Birth Charts and a flood-grade staff.”
Mingshi Yin almost fell off Qiong Qi’s back. After he stabilized himself, he muttered, “This… He has so many Birth Charts?”
“That’s just him. The other members have their own specialties. They’re the team with the highest survival rate in the Unknown Land,” Sun Mu said.
Mingshi Yin was speechless. He had failed to suppress them.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said indifferently, “I killed all of them.”
“…”
The five brothers were stunned again. They looked as though they thought they had heard wrongly. All of them wore expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve.
Thud!
Something landed on the ground.
“The Saint Staff.”
Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve again.
Thud!
“The Wind Spirit Bow.”
The air froze.
The two items stimulated the five people greatly.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “Out of a team of forty people with their various weapons, only these two weapons are barely passable.”
In other words, he could not be bothered to pick up the other weapons.
“…”
Mingshi Yin gulped. He knew his master had gone to the Unknown Land, and he also knew his master had met Lu Wu there. However, he knew nothing about the monster hunting squad.
The five brothers were still skeptical. They stepped forward and inspected the Saint Staff and the Wind Spirit Bow.
“They don’t seem fake.”
“Captain Cao Zechun regards the staff as his life, and the staff never leaves his side.”
“It’s real.”
“The Wind Spirit Bow is real as well.”
“Well, what should we do?”
