The Feather tribesman bowed and said, “I don’t know why either.”
It was not a small matter that Lu Zhou entered the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction with the White Emperor’s token. Many Feather tribesmen knew about it and paid great attention to it. As soon as they received the message, they reported it immediately.
Elder Ming De turned to look at Lu Zhou, and his expression eased as he said, “Since the White Emperor has spoken, I can’t force it. Please.”
Then, Elder Ming De moved to the side.
Lu Zhou let go of Little Yuan‘er and Conch before he walked forward with his hands on his back. When he walked past Elder Ming De, he paused briefly and glanced at Elder Ming De from the corners of his eyes before he said, “Although state of mind is important to become a Dao Saint, I have a piece of
advice for you.”
Elder Ming De said with a smile, “Please speak.”
“Supreme beings, no matter what kind, are still… humans,” Lu Zhou said before he left with his hands on his back.
Little Yuan’er and Conch followed closely behind.
Elder Ming De’s eyes were bright as he looked at the trio’s retreating backs. He called out softly, “Hong Jian.”
“What are your orders, Elder Ming De?” Hong Jian asked.
“Go and send off our distinguished guests. Remember to do it beautifully,” Elder Ming De said in an extremely gentle voice and a faint smile on his face.
“Yes.” Hong Jian turned around and brought five Feather tribesmen with him before he left.
The interior of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction was very complex. Without someone leading the way, it was too easy to get lost.
When Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch reached an intersection, Hong Jian and the other five Feather tribesmen flew over.
Hong Jian said with a smile, “Tl send everyone off.”
Lu Zhou glanced at Hong Jian and asked, “Do you often bring humans into the pillar?”
Hong Jian replied with a smile, “Rarely. Otherwise, today wouldn’t have been a big deal.”
“Why do all of you guard the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction?” Lu Zhou asked, perplexed.
Hong Jian said, “In ancient times, when the land split, countless lives were plunged into misery. The safest place was the Great Abyss Land. Moreover, it’s the only place in the Unknown Land that has sunlight.”
They spoke as they walked, and it did not take long before they left the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.
As soon as they walked out, Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch saw the circular piece of sky again. The sudden blinding light made them feel uncomfortable. However, after their eyes adjusted, their moods improved when they saw the beautiful scenery around them.
Little Yuan’er exclaimed in admiration, “It’s beautiful! If only the rest of the Unknown Land is like this…”
Hong Jian said with a smile, “That’s impossible.”
“why?”
“The sky will collapse, and no one will be able to bear the consequences,” Hong Jian replied.
Little Yuan’er was about to say something when she looked at her master and discovered her master looking at her. En, I better be obedient and keep my mouth shut at this time…”
“Since the earth can split, the sky can also collapse. At that time, where will the Feather tribe go?” Lu Zhou asked.
“That’s simple. If the sky collapses, the sun will reappear. At that time, we can go anywhere we want, including the nine domains. We can build a city and start all over again,” Hong Jian said.
“The imbalance will still be around. You dare to go to the nine domains?”
“It’s better than being smashed to death,” Hong Jian replied.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou chuckled twice, which was a rare sight. His expression was calm, and his voice was low as he said, “What a good plan.”
Hong Jian said, “Between you and me, compared to the White Emperor, we can be considered to have done our duty. Humans accuse the Feather tribe of belittling other tribes and races and acting superior. However, it’s the Feather tribe that supports the world, keeping the sky from collapsing. Everything
the Feather tribe has today can be considered a gift from time and all living things to us.”
Lu Zhou no longer bothered speaking, Since they were on different sides, they naturally had different opinions. After all, he did not think it was necessarily a good thing to keep the sky from falling. The living conditions in the Unknown Land were terrible now. So what if the sky collapsed?
Finally, they reached the edge of the area around the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. When they looked ahead, everything was shrouded in darkness.
At this moment, Hong Jian glanced at Little Yuan’er before he said, “There’s something I don’t know if I should say…”
“Then, no need to say anything,” Little Yuan’er said before she moved forward and hugged her master’s arm. “Master, let’s go.”
Hong Jian:
Although Hong Jian had suffered a setback, he did not give up. He continued to say, “This girl has been recognized by the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. She’ll become a target for many people. The Feather tribe can not only protect her, but nurture her as well. Once she leaves this place, those
who are secretly watching this place will definitely reveal their fangs. If they can’t use her, they will try to kill her.”
The five Feather tribesmen who were standing behind Hong Jian stared unblinkingly at Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch. Their faces were expressionless, and no one could tell if they were happy or angry. Only Hong Jian was smiling.
After a moment of silence, Lu Zhou asked, “Are you threatening me?”
“I don’t dare!” Hong Jian hurriedly bowed. “I’m just reminding you. The Feather tribe respects and cherishes talents so we won’t do such a thing, Moreover, no one in the Great Abyss Land dares to lay a hand on the White Emperor’s people.” Then, he made an inviting gesture and said, “I’ve already said what
needed to be said. Everyone, you can leave now.”
Lu Zhou ignored Hong Jian and said, “Let’s go.”
With a light tap of his toes, Lu Zhou swooped down as though he was diving off a cliff. It was slightly uncomfortable to go from light to darkness.
Lu Zhou knew he had to leave as soon as possible. The Great Abyss Land was fraught with dangers. He could clearly sense all kinds of powerful forces lurking here. He did not want to use the Peak Trial Card here.
As the trio swooped down, they saw the gigantic Three-headed tribesman on the ground looking up at the sky angrily. He was surrounded by countless Three-headed tribesmen. All of them held a shining spear in their hands, and the tips of the spears glowed with a faint red light.
At this time, the gigantic Three-headed tribesman cried out.
Following that, the other Three-headed tribesmen raised the spears in their hands.
“Master.” Little Yuan’er looked slightly worried.
“Don’t worry. Move closer to me.”
Lu Zhou did not care about these Three-headed tribesmen.
The Three-headed tribesmen grew more and more agitated, waiting for their leader’s instruction. They watched as Lu Zhou slowly descended from above.
‘When Lu Zhou reached a certain height, the gigantic Three-headed tribesman suddenly waved his hand with a ferocious expression.
At this time, a dignified voice rang from above.
“Don’t be rude.”
The voice was sonorous and powerful like a clap of thunder from the nine heavens, extinguishing one’s anger and restlessness.
The Three-headed tribesmen lowered their heads and their spears one after another.
Lu Zhou and his two disciples turned back to look and saw Hong Jian had unfurled his wings. His wings were white, and they glowed with spots of light that kept the darkness at bay.
The light was… the Saint Light. Moreover, it was an incredibly powerful Saint Light.
Soon after, Lu Zhou and his two disciples flew into the distance and disappeared into the darkness.
Hong Jian folded his wings and raised his right hand, and the five Feather tribesmen followed him. Then, he said tonelessly, “Send a message to the White Emperor. Tell His Majesty that the distinguished guests have left.”
“Understand.”
“The rest of you, follow me.”
With that, the remaining four Feather tribesmen left with Hong Jian.
‘When Lu Zhou and his two disciples returned to the mountain peak, they discovered the others were missing.
Little Yuan’er asked worriedly, “Where are they?”
Lu Zhou furrowed his brows before he said, “Don’t worry. They have the jade talisman. It’s likely that they left.”
Little Yuan’er surveyed their surroundings before she nodded and said, “There are no signs of battles. They must have safely left this place.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Conch pointed at the sky and exclaimed, “Look!”
An unimaginably huge beast circled the sky near the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. Its size was indescribable, covering the sky in a way that overturned one’s views.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Zhou used the power of teleportation and left with his two disciples.
They continued moving for an unknown amount of time before they finally landed when they could no longer see the huge beast in the sky.
Then, Lu Zhou brought a talisman out and ignited it.
Lu Li and the others appeared in a projection immediately.
After everyone bowed, Lu Li said, “Pavilion Master, we retreated 3,000 miles back. There were Saint slayers earlier, and their senses are very keen.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “You’ve all done well.”
“pavilion Master, where are you?” Lu Li asked.
“T’ve left the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.”
“Then, we’ll wait for you here,” Lu Li said before he placed a tracking talisman on the ground.
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve, and the projection disappeared.
3,000 miles were not far so they would be able to meet everyone soon.
“Let’s continue on our journey.”
“Okay.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The trio flew in the sky, passing the dense mountain range. The fog made everything blurry. Vines shot up at them from below.
Lu Zhou frowned. “Move closer to me.”
Then, Lu Zhou waved his hand. A conical barrier shrouded the three of them immediately.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Little Yuan’er looked at the vines in confusion. “How strange. They weren’t here when we first came.
Conch said, “Maybe they were dormant earlier. Some plants are like this…”
“Little Junior Sister, do you also know the plants’ language?”
Conch shook her head, indicating she did not understand.
At this time, a large vine appeared in front of them, lashing at them.
Swoosh!
A strong gust of wind swept toward them as well.
Lu Zhou struck with his palm as the conical barrier brought them higher into the sky.
The trees and plants in the Great Abyss Land far exceeded their imaginations.
‘When they finally rose high enough, they looked down at the ancient trees and the vines before they continued flying.
After 15 minutes, a voice rang from the fog in front of them.
“Distinguished guests, where are you going?”
The trio could not see the owner of the voice.
Lu Zhou raised his hand, motioning for Little Yuan’er and Conch to stop. Then, he asked in a deep voice, “Who is it?”
“I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”
Following that, white figures emerged one after another from the fog.
Through the fog, Lu Zhou saw the white figures.
“Hong Jian?” Little Yuan’er frowned.
Hong Jian smiled at the trio and said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. The conditions of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction can’t be easily dismissed. Hence, this girl has to go back with me.”
Lu Zhou asked, “What’s the point of going through so much trouble when you can make a move back there?”
Hong Jian said, “There are images of all of you entering and leaving the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction, and the White Emperor has also been informed of your departure.”
The meaning behind Hong Jian’s words was clear. They did not make a move back at the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction because of the White Emperor. However, if Lu Zhou and the others died outside, no one could be blamed for their deaths.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Hong Jian was slightly taken aback. “You’re not surprised?”
“Why should I be surprised?” Lu Zhou said indifferently, “I’ve already expected this..”
