Chapter 1317 - You’re Not Very Capable, But You Have Quite the Temper

Chapter 1317: You’re Not Very Capable, But You Have Quite the Temper

Perhaps, Lu Zhou had gotten used to being old after such a long time, or perhaps, it was for some other reason, but he thought people like Zou Ping were young and green. They were like frogs at the bottom of a well, unable to see the whole sky and unaware of how immense the world was.

The size of the palm seal was not even big enough to cover the Zhao Residence’s main courtyard, therefore, Zou Ping thought the best way to deal with it was by launching his own palm seal. Alas, he was unaware that this was the worst way to deal with the palm seal.

When Zuo Ping’s green palm seal collided with the golden palm seal, he expected the golden palm seal to weaken at least. Contrary to his expectations, not only did it not weaken, but it seemed to have grown bigger and stronger after the collision!

The scripts for Abandoned Wisdom were linked together like a golden dragon as it continued to advance.

‘Something’s wrong!’ Zuo Ping’s calmness was replaced by nervousness and shock when he saw his green palm seal vanishing. He hurriedly lifted his hands and launched two green palm seals that merged into one after they shot out.

Boom!

The energy from the golden palm seal and green palm seal’s collision rippled out horizontally.

Bang!

The people in the surroundings had to lower themselves to avoid the force of the collision.

Crack!

The solid red wooden pillar was neatly cut into two, causing the building it supported to be lopsided.

The 100 warhorses neighed and kept retreating.

The green palm seal dissipated again.

Boom!

This time, the golden palm seal landed heavily on Zou Ping.

Just like that, the battle ended.

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi instinctively retreated at this time. The biggest reason they were so bold as to come to Zhao Residence today was most due to Zou Ping and his legendary troop.

In Great Qin, there were many cultivators who were close to being Venerable Masters. However, they were mostly stuck at the stage because they could not pass the third Birth Trial or they could not activate a Great Birth Chart due to a lack of suitable life hearts.

Zou Ping was one of these people.

Similar to Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai, Zou Ping had many experiences on the battlefield and had encountered many life-or-death situations. However, such a person, the leader of the legendary troop, was defeated just like that.

Moreover, Zou Ping was defeated with a simple palm seal without the power of the Dao, divine objects, special formation, fancy display of Primal Qi, energy swords, or energy sabers.

How could the Zhi brothers not panic?

“Brother, was there something wrong with the Qi orb?” Zhi Wuzi’s expression was rather unsightly at this moment.

“I don’t know,” Zhi Wenzi replied in a low voice. He did not dare to speak loudly.

“Didn’t you say it’s impossible for the Qi orb to be wrong? Zou Ping has 17 Birth Charts, but he’s defeated with one move! I don’t believe that person has only passed two Birth Trials!”

“I don’t believe it either! Now’s not the time to argue. Let’s wait for the Venerable Master’s arrival.”

Zhi Wenzi did not know which part of his plan had gone wrong. At this moment, he had no choice but to act according to the situation.

“The Venerable Master will come?” Zhi Wuzi was astonished.

“I’m not sure.”

After the energy dissipated, everyone saw Zou Ping sprawling in a pit on the ground.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion shook their heads. The disciples were already used to this scene; there were too many of such scenes, after all. It was as though their master liked smacking his opponents into the ground. It worked every single time. This move was very effective, and it was the best way to destroy arrogance.

Zou Ping faced the sky and exhaled slowly. He shifted his gaze slightly and saw Lu Zhou looking down at him, standing with one hand on his back. His body trembled slightly. Realization finally dawned on him; his opponent was a… super expert who far surpassed him. What should he do now?

At this moment, Zhao Yu recalled that thrilling and magnificent scene at the Pillar of Destruction. In comparison, this was just child’s play.

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi gulped and fell to their knees at the same time. They kept saying, “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding…”

Needless to say, the men standing behind the duo fell to their knees as well.

The table turned so quickly that everyone was shocked.

Lu Zhou did not pay attention to Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi. Instead, he looked at Zou Ping who was still lying in the pit before he said, “How dare you block my palm seal and survive?”

“…”

Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said with an ingratiating smile, “Old sir, this is Great Qin’s Supreme General Zou.” Feeling like the introduction was not enough, he added the information about the legendary troop and recounted the tale of them wiping out the ten kingdoms.

It was fine if Zhao Yu did not recount all these things. Zou Ping felt his blood surge and vomited a mouthful of blood upon hearing Zhao Yu’s words. After all, the praises now sounded like insults.

Lu Zhou nodded. “Legendary troop?”

Zou Ping was livid. He raised his head to look at Lu Zhou. He took a long time articulating his thoughts before he finally said, “I… Under His Majesty’s order, I came to apprehend the murderer.”

Lu Zhou looked at the crowd before he looked at Zou Ping, perplexed. “What murderer?”

At this time, Kong Wen who had left without anyone’s notice at some point returned with a chair. He placed the chair behind Lu Zhou and wiped it with his sleeve before he said, “Pavilion Master, please take a seat.”

Lu Zhou nodded and sat down.

Zhao Yu said, “Let me explain to the Pavilion Master.” Then, he turned to Zuo Ping and said, “General Zuo, if you feel that my explanations are wrong, please feel free to correct me.”

With that, Zhao Yu began to recount what had happened.

In fact, Lu Zhou already had a vague idea of what was happening after briefly observing using the power of sight. However, he thought it was fine to let Zhao Yu talk since he had plenty of time.

Zhao Yu took about 15 minutes to tell the story, including as many details as possible. He even expressed his doubts about Xi Qishu’s death.

While Zhao Yu was talking, Zou Ping sat up. He held his chest and coughed a few times before he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips and patted the dust off himself. Then, he climbed out of the pit before he sat at the edge of the pit.

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zou Ping and asked, “General Zou, am I fair with my explanation?”

Zou Ping nodded. He turned slightly and looked at the sky before he shouted angrily, “A bunch of good-for-nothings! Come down now!”

If it were not for the crowd, Zou Ping would have cursed.

Their leader had already been beaten until he vomited blood, and yet, they were still sitting atop the warhorses, trying to show off! They were really brainless!

The remaining 97 cavalrymen landed one after another.

Fortunately, the Zhao Residence’s main courtyard could accommodate over 1,000 people.

After the cavalrymen landed, they made sure their warhorses stayed in place before they ran over toward Zou Ping and stood respectfully near him. Two of them quickly went forward to help Zou Ping up.

Zou Ping pushed them away with a wave of his hand as he cursed, “Get lost!”

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “You’re not very capable, but you have quite the temper.”

Zou Ping. “…”

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi had already landed. How could they dare to remain in the sky at this time?

Lu Zhou said, “I have an understanding of the matter now. In short, you’re here to apprehend Xi Qishu’s murderer, correct?”

“Yes,” Zhi Wenzi replied curtly. He would risk making mistakes if he spoke too many words, after all. Facing such a person, the fewer words he said, the better it would be.

“You used the Qi orb’s powder and confirmed the murderer is my disciple, correct?”

“Yes.”

Lu Zhou nodded before he looked at the three corpses on the ground. Then, he asked, “Those three are killed by Yu Shangrong, correct?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shangrong bowed and said, “Master, I did kill them.”

Lu Zhou looked at the cracks on the armor and said, “The sword strikes could only destroy three Birth Charts so they couldn’t be fatal…”

“Old sir, you’re right. The rest was done by Qiong Qi.”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Qiong Qi barked and ran over. It crouched by Lu Zhou’s side and bared its fangs at the crowd.

Mingshi Yin. “…”

Mingshi Yin thought that it was true that dogs relied on their owner for power. The ancients truly did not deceive him.

“Old Fourth.”

“Yes, master.”

“Did you kill Xi Qishu? You’re not allowed to lie. I want to hear the truth,” Lu Zhou said solemnly.

Mingshi Yi moved to stand next to Qiong Qi before he said, “I did.”

“…”

Woof! Woof! Woof!
