Chapter 1162: Despicable and Shaless Human
The dark clouds did not disperse.
Silence had returned to the island.
Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air looked up, trying to see the end of the Unknown Land. Alas, he saw nothing but the distant horizon that separated the sky and the ground.
Just a beast emperor was already so difficult to deal with. What should he do if he encountered an even more powerful beast emperor in the Unknown Land? It was best for him to take Duanmu Sheng away as soon as possible.
Lu Zhou was puzzled. “What’s your relationship with Venerable Master Duanmu?”
Lu Wu replied, “Master and servant.”
Perhaps, Lu Wu did not have a deep understanding of the human language so it used the words ‘master and servant’ to describe its relationship with Duanmu Dian.
Humans’ relationships with their mounts were all different. So treated their mounts like family mbers or friends, so people treated mounts like tools, and so treated mounts like slaves.
Since Lu Zhou did not know Duanmu Dian, he did not know what kind of relationship it had with Lu Wu.
Lu Zhou asked, perplexed. “Since he’s your master, where is he?”
Lu Wu said in a low voice, “Great Void… the Balance Keeper… taken away…”
Lu Zhou suddenly rembered Lu Wu had said earlier that if Duanmu Dian was here, Duanmu Dian would sever ties with Lu Tiantong. This indicated that Lu Tiantong and Duanmu Dian were friends.
“Why didn’t Lu Tiantong save him?” Lu Zhou asked.
“Huh?” Lu Wu straightened its back before it looked at Lu Zhou quietly. After a mont, he said angrily, “That’s… what… I want… … ask… you…!”
Lu Wu’s mouth was too wide, and it was a bit windy, affecting its speech. Fortunately, Lu Zhou could still understand it.
Lu Zhou said, “You should know how strong the people in the Great Void are…”
Up until now, the cultivators only had one word to describe the inhabitants of the Great Void: strong.
The strength of the people from Great Void was beyond imagination. According to Lan Xihe, the Kun in the Endless Ocean was a Balance Keeper as well. To deal with that Kun, he would have needed to exhaust all of the system’s energy. Therefore, he had enough reasons to believe there was supre existence in the Great Void.
Those who possessed the Great Void Seeds would definitely beco a supre being. The Great Void Seeds would mature every 30,000 years. How many years had it been since heaven and earth ca into being, and how many Great Void Seeds had matured since then? In other words, apart from those true cultivation geniuses who did not need to rely on external forces to beco a supre being, there were as many supre beings as there were Great Void Seeds that had matured since the dawn of ti.
Lu Wu remained silent. Indeed, if the inhabitants from the Great Void wanted to capture soone, what could Lu Tiantong do? It exhaled heavily before it finally said, “You… didn’t save Duanmu Dian… He’s… dead… You’re… alive…”
Lu Zhou said, “For the last ti, I’m not Lu Tiantong. I don’t care whose descendant Duanmu Sheng is. I ca here to bring him back…”
Lu Wu glanced at Duanmu Sheng who was lying on the ground and asked, “Must it… be… like this?”
“I will not change my decision easily,” Lu Zhou replied. In the current Evil Sky Pavilion, was there any of his disciples who dared to act as boldly as Lu Wu was acting now?
Upon hearing Lu Wu’s words, Lu Wu said with a complex expression on its face, “Humans… more cold-blooded than beasts…”
“Cold-blooded?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Do you know how many humans and fierce beasts died in the battle in the Northern Sword Canyon?”
Lu Wu could not refute Lu Zhou’s words.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “You sacrificed so many of your kind and tricked the Black Emperor. Who’s more cold-blooded?”
Lu Wu said stubbornly, “Those humans… no different from reptiles… Their deaths… not worth regretting…”
“In my eyes, you’re a reptile as well…”
“…” Lu Wu was silent for a mont before it said, “Only I… can protect… Duanmu Sheng…”
Lu Zhou beca more and more confused. With Lu Wu’s ability, indeed, it would not have been too difficult if it wanted to escape alone earlier. However, it chose to stay back because of Duanmu Sheng, which was beyond Lu Zhou’s expectations. He asked, “Why?”
“Even ants… can live… Master Duanmu has shown… kindness… Young Master is… in trouble… only… I can… save him,” Lu Wu said confidently.
“What makes you think I can’t save him?” Lu Zhou shook his head.
At this ti, Lu Wu said fluently, “You can save his life, but he would miss out on a great opportunity…”
“A great opportunity?”
“The Great Void… Seed… the corrosive… energy, the power… heaven and earth… in the Unknown Land… and my 30,000 years… of essence Qi… can help him… change his fate. Can you… do it?” Lu Wu asked.
Naturally, Lu Zhou was aware of Duanmu Sheng’s current situation. That was the reason he had rushed here to bring Duanmu Sheng away. However, he knew he could only bring him away and continue using the Heavenly Writing Power to expel the corrosive energy. However, it was not a permanent solution. Moreover, rumors were already spreading about Duanmu Sheng possessing the Great Void Seed. If he had to pick an opponent, he would pick an insanely powerful fierce beast over humans. Human hearts were unpredictable, after all.
Previously, Ning Wanqing had also said this might be a blessing in disguise for Duanmu Sheng.
Finally, Lu Zhou looked at Lu Wu and asked, “How can a re beast emperor protect him?”
“With this…” Lu Wu straightened its back as nine tails suddenly rose from its back.
Primal Qi began to surge violently as the dark clouds began to roll.
Lu Wu’s abdon heaved up and down violently as streams of dark light flowed from its nine tails into its abdon.
Although Lu Zhou was not afraid, he did not expect Lu Wu to be so smart that it was still hiding its strength up to this point. He said, “You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve…”
“I’m not… afraid of those… below the level… of Venerable Masters. Those above… the level of… Venerable Masters…” Lu Wu trailed off.
At this mont, Conch’s voice drifted over.
“Move.”
Cheng Huang flew over with Ye Tianxin and Conch on its back and landed on the island easily.
Lu Wu was very vigilant. Its fur stood on end as it looked at Cheng Huang predatorily. “Scram…”
Conch said, “How bold. Master defeated you, but you still dare to ask Cheng Huang to scram?”
Despite feeling incredibly unhappy, Lu Wu could only tolerate this.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “You’re a majestic beast emperor. If you have the chance to return to the depths of the Unknown Land, why don’t you return and live a solitary and peaceful life?”
Lu Wu averted its gaze and began to mutter unintelligible words under its breath again.
At the sa ti, Conch pointed at Lu Wu and said, “Master, it said that you’re old and muddle-headed. It also said you’re annoying for asking questions you already know the answers to!”
Lu Wu. “?”
“You really don’t know what’s good for you,” Lu Zhou said indifferently.
Lu Wu sized Conch up before it muttered a few words experintally.
Conch said, “I’m not guessing. I understand the beast language…”
Lu Wu took a step back, and it said in human language, clearly surprised, “You’re… so young… but you… know the… beast language…”
Lu Zhou raised his voice and interjected, “Your whereabouts have been exposed. What are you going to do if sothing happens to Duanmu Sheng?”
After mulling over it, Lu Zhou determined it was indeed safer and better for now for Duanmu Sheng to stay with Lu Wu.
Duanmu Sheng cultivated more diligently than anyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He could practice his spear techniques in the back of the mountain alone without rest, food, water, rest, and sleep. He could also endure the pain in the Star Gathering Formation. Innate talent aside, he was a true cultivation fanatic; he was also the embodint of hard work and diligence.
Lu Zhou believed that if Duanmu Sheng were of sound mind now, Duanmu Sheng would make the sa decision as well. His gaze fell on Duanmu Sheng…
At this mont, Lu Wu said, “Young master… here, Lu Wu… here; Young Master… die, Lu Wu… die…”
“Alright.” Lu Zhou extended his hand.
The Overlord Spear stuck in the huge rock dislodged itself and returned to Lu Zhou’s hand.
“I’ll make this decision on my unfilial disciple’s behalf and let him stay by your side. If anything happens to him, I’ll hold you accountable…”
Buzz!
The Overlord Spear began to thrum.
“What are… you doing?” Lu Wu asked warily.
Lu Zhou tapped his toes on the ground and flew up into the sky above the lake. “This is the spear technique called Breaking the Formation. Look closely. I’ll demonstrate it once, and you’ll teach it to him.”
Lu Zhou held the spear with one hand before he traced the dragon carving on the shaft with his index finger and held it horizontally, level with the surface of the lake.
Splash!
Water splashed up from the lake to the sky, transforming into energy spears. The energy spears arranged themselves in a neat formation; their battle intent soared as high as the sky. Then, they swept out like a gust of wind toward a rock and instantly reduced it to dust.
Lu Wu was surprised by this and could not help but mutter again, “Yet… another… new move…”
…
After Lu Zhou was done with his demonstration, he tossed the Overlord Spear out and guided it next to Duanmu Sheng. Then, he said expressionlessly to Ye Tianxin and Conch, “Let’s go.”
After Lu Zhou flew onto Cheng Huang’s back, Cheng Huang flew away.
After Cheng Huang disappeared from sight, Lu Wu felt that sothing was wrong.
If Lu Zhou was going to leave his disciple here in the end, why did Lu Zhou beat it up?
With this realization, Lu Wu felt that it had suffered a huge loss.
“Despicable… shaless human!”
…
At this mont, in the distant forest, Cheng Huang suddenly turned back.
