Lu Wu nodded before it lifted its head again.
Everyone flew up into the air and drew level in front of Lu Wu.
Lu Zhou looked in the western direction and saw about four or five people.
In just a moment, the five people arrived. The leader was Zhao Yu who was dressed in a brocade silk robe.
Zhao Yu said happily, “Old sir, you’re still here! It feels like it’s been three years since we last saw each other. I’ve missed you!”
Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes. “Stop flattering my master. With your cultivation base, you still dare to come to the Unknown Land? Moreover, the imbalance is getting worse. Aren’t afraid of being eaten alive?”
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, “I’ve learned from my mistakes. This time, I brought a capable general along.” He turned slightly and glanced at the people around him. “Hurry up and greet the old sir.”
At this time, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at the middle-aged man standing slightly behind Zhao Yu. He was tall and muscular and had an extraordinary bearing. He had a slight beard, and his eyes were piercing, carrying a trace of killing intent. He was wearing a soldier’s armor and red cape, and a sword, which was only used by generals, hung at his waist.
“I’m Xi Qishu. I’ve heard many great things about old sir. After meeting you today, you’re indeed as extraordinary as I’ve heard.” Xi Qishu’s voice was sonorous and powerful. He exuded the air of a veteran on the battlefield and the smell of blood.
Everyone could tell Xi Qishu was not simple.
“Eh?” Xi Qishu suddenly turned to Mingshi Yin. “Little brother, your killing intent is very strong.”
Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin from the corners of his eyes, and Mingshi Yin’s killing intent vanished immediately.
At this time, Zhao Yu hastily said with a hint of reproach, “General Xi, don’t Be rude.”
“General?” Lu Zhou looked at Xi Qishu indifferently.
Xi Qishu cupped his fists together and said, “I’m just a martial artist. My etiquette isn’t up to par. I hope you won’t take offense, old sir.”
Lu Zhou shifted his gaze from Xi Qishu to Zhao Yu. “Why are you looking for me?”
“Ye Zheng is dead,” Zhao Yu said.
Lu Zhou was not surprised. He nodded. “At least they know what’s good for them.”
“The four elders of Yannan’s Blessed Land wanted to meet you. However, they did not know how to find you so they looked for me instead. Hence, I came looking for you,” Zhao Yu explained, “Moreover, after Venerable Tuoba’s death, all his disciples went to Yannan’s Blessed Land to cause a ruckus. Yannan is now in a state of chaos.”
Mingshi Yin said, “They deserve it.”
“That being said, the Tuoba clan doesn’t believe Venerable Master Tuoba is dead. I have a feeling they will make a move on the golden lotus domain,” Zhao Yu said.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly upon hearing the latter part of Zhao Yu’s words.
Zhao Yu continued to say, “I heard they’re working with Venerable Master Qin. It’s really unbelievable.”
“Oh, Qin Renyue is rather bold,” Mingshi Yin said.
“I heard that the Young Master of the Qin clan died there. He’s been looking for a chance to exact revenge. He…” Zhao Yu suddenly stopped talking. His eyes widened as realization dawned on him. “No… I-it can’t be what I’m thinking, right?”
“Why not?” Mingshi Yin raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Yu. “…”
Xi Qishu was puzzled by the conversation.
Lu Zhou was still frowning. Fortunately, Zhao Yu came to look for him today. Otherwise, if he continued to cultivate for another few months, he would not have known his base had been destroyed.
Lu Zhou said, “Since you’re here, lead the way.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu’s shocked expression disappeared. Instead, a smile appeared on his face before he bowed and said, “Old sir, I have something that can send all of you directly to the green lotus domain.”
Then, Zhao Yu brought out a piece of jade that swirled with different colors from the brocade pouch at his waist before he said, “I have a Collective Teleportation Jade Talisman.”
“This is a treasure!” Kong Wen’s eyes widened in shock.
“Of course! Each of these jade talismans is priceless. The one in my hand can be exchanged for a city,” Zhao Yu said.
At this moment, Xi Qishu frowned and interjected, “Young Master, what are you doing?”
“General Xi, don’t interrupt me,” Zhao Yu said, glaring at Xi Qishu.
Lu Zhou naturally understood Zhao Yu’s meaning. He asked bluntly, “What do you want in exchange?”
Zhao Yu’s expression turned solemn as he said with a bow, “A snow lotus and a blood ginseng.”
“You’re really shameless. What can you do if we don’t give it to you? Hand over the jade talisman!” Mingshi Yin said indignantly.
To stop himself from acting rashly, Xi Qishu had to keep reminding himself of the various instructions his young master had given him prior to coming to this place. In the end, he could only look away with a solemn expression on his face. However, as soon as he turned away, he came face to face with Lu Wu that was as strong as a Venerable Master! He was so frightened that he almost jumped back.
At this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly grew bold and said, “I need those things to save people. If it weren’t for that, how would I dare to negotiate with you, old sir? I hope you’ll agree, old sir!”
Then, Zhao Yu fell to his knees in the air and held the jade talisman out with two hands.
Mingshi Yin did not say anything this time. Instead, he looked at his master.
Nary a ripple could be seen on Lu Zhou’s face. No one knew what he was thinking. After a moment, he waved his sleeve and said, “I won’t take advantage of you.”
Yan Zhenluo understood Lu Zhou’s meaning and brought out a snow lotus and blood ginseng from his bag before handing them to Zhao Yu.
No one knew why but Zhao Yu’s eyes reddened when he received the two items. He was slightly excited and carefully put them away. Then, he handed the jade talisman to Yan Zhenluo.
Xi Qishu was surprised when he saw the snow lotus and blood ginseng as well.
“You just need to crush the jade talisman to use it. However, I’m afraid Lu Wu won’t be transported over since it’s too big. Perhaps, if you reduce the number of people, it might be able to follow you there…”
Lu Wu said, “I’m too lazy to go anywhere…”
Duanmu Sheng leaped down from Lu Wu’s back and moved to stand with the others.
Then, everyone, including Whitzard and Qiong Qi, stood together before Yan Zhenluo crushed the jade talisman.
The jade talisman vanished into spots of white light as it floated around the ground of people, weaving a circle of light. Then, a beam of light shot up into the sky, shrouding the group of people.
When the pillar of light disappeared, everyone was gone.
Lu Wu looked at the empty sky. “…”
Then, it turned around to look at the forest that was no longer a forest before it exhaled freezing energy, freezing everything that was 100 meters in front of it.
…
15 minutes later.
Everyone appeared on a cloud platform.
The sun hung high in the sky, and the sky was blue.
“Master, it’s the sun!” Little Yuan’er pointed at the sky. She was so excited that she could barely calm down.
The oppressive feeling from the Unknown Land was swept away immediately, evaporated by the sunlight.
Everyone greedily breathed in the fresh air under the sunlight.
“This is the green lotus domain. This is the royal family’s cloud platform. However, due to the rarity of this jade talisman, almost no one uses it. Hence, it’s not very well maintained. I’ve prepared a flying chariot beforehand. Everyone, please come with me,” Zhao Yu said.
There was a pergola at the exit of the cloud platform, and next to the pergola was a flying chariot. Although the flying chariot was not big, it could easily carry dozens of people.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion flew into the flying chariot one after another.
At this time, Xi Qishu grabbed Zhao Yu’s arm and said, “Young Master Zhao, the royal family shouldn’t participate in whatever happens next…”
“This…” Zhao Yu looked troubled.
Xi Qishu continued to say, “We have the snow lotus, blood ginseng, and fire lotus now. Saving lives is more important than this…”
Zhao Yu brought the snow lotus and blood ginseng out before handing them to Xi Qishu and said, “Bring them back. I’ll follow the old sir.”
“I’m afraid that’s not appropriate. I promised to bring you back safely,” Xi Qishu said.
At this moment, Lu Zhou, who was standing on the deck of the flying chariot, called out, “Zhao Yu.”
“I’m coming!” Zhao Yu broke free of Xi Qishu’s grip before he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
With that, Zhao Yu flew into the flying chariot.
Subsequently, the flying chariot rose into the sky before flying toward Yannan’s Blessed Land.
After the flying chariot disappeared into the clouds, Xi Qishu looked at the snow lotus and blood ginseng in his hands and smiled. Then, he picked the blood ginseng up and took a huge bite before he began to chew on it. “Young man, you’re still too green.”
When Xi Qishu felt the surging energy that rose in his body after consuming the blood ginseng, he muttered to himself, “Interesting. It’s real blood ginseng.”
Then, he put away the snow lotus and what remained of the blood ginseng before he vanished in just a blink of an eye..
