Chapter 1239: Human Weakness
“I’m Ye Wei. These three are my companions.”
It was slightly unexpected that the old man had answered the question.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. His expression remained the sa as he continued to ask, “Why are you here?”
Ye Wei found this quite infuriating. He had thought his na would have an intimidating effect, but there was no reaction from the other party at all. Hence, he asked in a louder voice, “May I ask why you ca to Transient City, old friend?”
Both sides were trying to probe each side’s intentions. This was important, after all. If there was a conflict of interests, then it ant that things could get troubleso. If there was no conflict, perhaps, they could briefly work together. They could stay out of each other’s way after that. Nevertheless, both sides would not easily reveal their intentions.
Lu Zhou said, “You should leave. This isn’t a place for you to stay.”
Lu Zhou did not think the other side could deal with Yong He that had scared away a large number of cultivators and Void Chest tribesn. Those four people did not look like Venerable Masters, and Yong He was most likely a beast emperor.
Ye Wei chuckled and said, “Old friend, why do you say that?”
“This place is very dangerous,” Lu Zhou bluntly replied.
“Dangerous?” Ye Wei continued to smile and said, “To tell you the truth, the four of us flew for half a month to Transient City to take sothing away…”
“Take sothing away?”
‘What could be here in Transient City? All the treasures here should’ve been looted in the past 120,000 years… Moreover, the Venerable Masters of the past were not fools. Why would they leave treasures here?’
Ye Wei smiled. “Yes. Don’t worry, we don’t want anything else…”
“Alright…” Lu Zhou made a gesture of inviting them.
The four elders exchanged a look and did not move, worried Lu Zhou would stab them in the back.
Everyone turned to look and saw green smoke rising from the mausoleum.
At this ti, Little Yuan’er who had keen eyes noticed the changes in the mausoleum and pointed at it. “What’s that?”
“It’s a poisonous gas that can make one lose one’s mind…” Kong Wen warned everyone.
Lu Zhou had the Purple Glazed Ceramic so he was immune to all poisons. As for others, it was hard to say.
The four elders took a look and nodded one after another.
Ye Wei said, “So there’s a fierce beast.”
One of the elders ignited a few talismans before tossing them out.
Upon seeing this, Kong Wen frowned. “You’ll startle Yong He.”
“Yong He?” Ye Wei was stunned. “Rumor has it that fierce beasts run rampant in Transient City. I didn’t expect to et Yong He here…”
The talismans continued to descend.
In order to obtain the thing they wanted, they had to startle the fierce beast.
The talismans spread out and surrounded the mausoleum at this ti.
The green poisonous gas was quickly absorbed and neutralized by the huge seal that was ford from the talismans.
Rumble!
The mausoleum shook, causing pebbles to slide down.
Following that, a shrill cry rang in all directions from the mausoleum.
The trees trembled, and the cracks on the stone walls grew bigger.
The flying beasts and the fierce beasts in Transient City fled, and a few cultivators who were creeping over turned tail and fled.
The four old n erected a shield to block the sound wave.
Kong Wen and his brothers landed on the ground. They were sweating profusely, and their eyes were brimming with fear.
Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li were in better conditions, but there was still a hint of fear flashing in the depths of their eyes.
On the other hand, Lu Zhou’s disciples were completely unaffected.
Lu Zhou thought about the Great Void Seeds.
Little Yuan’er had been unaffected by the Buddhist’s sound technique in Runan previously. At that ti, Lu Zhou had attributed it to her cultivation thod, the Supre Purity Jade Slip. However, it was clear to him now that the Great Void Seeds’ effect was beyond his imagination.
All of a sudden, the frequency of the banshee-like screech increased by several tis. Clearly, Yong He was enraged.
Gray fog began to gather around the mausoleum, covering a radius of several thousand ters.
Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li fell down at this mont. They were sweating profusely, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Kong Wen and his brothers seed to have lost their senses as they charged at Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li as they cried out, “Don’t kill ! Don’t kill !”
Kong Wen and his brothers began to launch energy seals at Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li who were still sound of mind.
“Kong Wen!” Yan Zhenluo shouted. However, it had no effect on Kong Wen.
At this ti, Lu Zhou launched a palm seal from above.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kong Wen and his brothers were restrained by the palm seal. They looked confused.
Kong Wu shouted, “Fierce beasts! I was beaten by a fierce beast!”
Kong Wen also looked as though he was being surrounded by fierce beasts.
The four brothers stayed in the Unknown Land, and the only thing they were afraid of was fierce beasts. At this ti, their fear was magnified several tis.
Lu Zhou shook his head as he sealed their Dantians’ seas of Qi and knocked them unconscious. Since they had lost consciousness, Yong He could no longer manipulate their minds.
The four old n looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Good move.”
The four of them were safely ensconced within a green shield, unaffected, as they calmly observed the situation.
Lu Zhou nodded. If this was the extent of Yong He’s power, then it would be much easier to deal with.
Buzz!
At this mont, Lu Li suddenly manifested his astrolabe. His five Birth Charts glowed with unprecedented brightness. Then, he attacked with all his might as he raised his head at the sky and shouted, “No, I want to die! I want to die! Don’t stop !”
Upon seeing this, Yan Zhenluo reacted quickly and knocked Lu Li unconscious.
After Lu Li’s astrolabe vanished, Yan Zhenluo took a deep breath to suppress his fear before he looked up and said, “Knock out!”
Yu Zhenghai used the Great Dark Heaven Palm and quickly knocked Yan Zhenluo unconscious.
When Ye Wei saw that Lu Zhou, Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Mingshi Yin, Little Yuan’er, and Conch were fine despite not using any barrier to protect themselves, he exclaid in surprise, “You’re all okay?”
Lu Zhou only glanced at the four old n and said, “Retreat 10 ters.”
“Yes.”
As the four old n retreated, they brought Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Kong Wen, and his brothers with them.
“Gather.” Lu Zhou said to his disciples.
At this mont, another loud screech rang from the mausoleum before a huge shadow shot toward the horizon.
Yong He bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Its eyes were red and so was its mouth; its fur was yellow. Its mouth let out a screech that was 100 tis louder than before.
Lu Zhou activated his protective energy that had been imbued with his divine power and shrouded everyone. With this, it was as though they were in a soundproof room. They could not hear anything at all.
They looked around.
The stone walls had shattered, and the patterns on them could no longer be seen. The trees had collapsed, and the vines in the vicinity lay wilted on the ground.
As the poisonous grass spread, the plants in the surroundings began to wilt.
The four elders retreated dozens of ters and looked at Yong He in shock. Then, they hurriedly joined their palms together to resist the powerful sound wave.
Yong He continued to release its intimidation ability without holding back.
“This can’t go on… Yong He is a beast emperor,” Ye Wei said.
“Then, do we give up just like this?”
“No. Look, that old man is able to single-handedly protect everyone. His strength can’t be underestimated. How can we leave when there are still people here?”
“What do you an?”
“Let both sides deal with each other… They’re bound to exhaust each other…”
“What if that doesn’t happen?”
“Then we can only accept our fate. If he’s stronger than us, then there’s nothing we can do. We can only say Ye Zheng is unlucky,” Ye Wei said.
The other three elders nodded. This was indeed the best course of action now.
Then, the four elders turned to look at Lu Zhou.
