Lu Zhou’s consecutive palm seals made Zhu Honggong unable to fight back. He could only cry out for his parents. In the end, he resorted to begging for mercy.

“Master! Spare me! Spare me!”

When Zhu Honggong finally managed to land on the ground, he turned around and fled.

Everyone was speechless and felt embarrassed for Zhu Honggong.

Lu Zhou ignored Zhu Honggong. He returned to stand in front of the crowd and waited.

Not long after, Zhu Honggong returned with his head lowered. Then, he imitated Little Yuan’er’s manner of speaking and held his pinky up as he said, “Aiyo, master! You went all out, how can I be a match for you? I’m not even as good as one of your pinkies.”

“I only used 10% of my strength,” Lu Zhou said tonelessly.

“Ah?!” Zhu Honggong exclaimed in surprise, “Master, you just used 10% of your strength, and I already felt helpless. If you go all out, I’d probably be reduced to ashes!”

Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion: “...”

Mingshi Yin scratched his head fiercely when he heard that.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly and said, “This is the Unknown Land. Danger lurks everywhere. Time is precious. What are you doing when I’m trying to teach you?”

Zhu Honggong fell to his knees as soon as he sensed his master was being serious. “I’m sorry.”

“Do you know where you made mistakes earlier?” Lu Zhou asked.

Zhu Honggong shook his head.

Lu Zhou said, “You should learn from Old Second. Confidence is very important. I only use 10% of my strength, but you gave up immediately out of fear. If you encounter opponents who put up a strong front, won’t you lose immediately?”

Zhu Honggong nodded. “Master is right.”

Lu Zhou continued to say, “When facing a strong enemy, confidence and judgment are especially important. Your cultivation is not weak, but you can only display half of your strength because of your lack of confidence. You have to properly reflect on yourself in the future.”

“Oh.” Zhu Honggong was the second to sprout his 11th leaf after Yu Shangrong, after all. He also enjoyed an abundance of cultivation resources in the yellow lotus domain. Hence, it was only a matter of time before he sprouted his twelfth leaf.

“Alright, step aside,” Lu Zhou said.

After Zhu Honggong retreated to the side, Lu Zhou looked at the crowd again and asked, “Who else?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Indeed, this was a rare opportunity. Who could easily receive guidance from the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion in this world? Even his disciples were like dragons and phoenixes among men. It was just that his teaching method was a little painful.

At this moment, a strange noise rang from the sky.

Everyone looked up immediately.

“Pavilion Master, over here!” Kong Wen pointed at the back.

When everyone looked in the direction Kong Wen pointed, they saw humongous white cranes the size of humans flying under the black fog. There were tens of thousands of them. When they flew, they were like white clouds moving in the sky. It was a spectacular sight.

The powerful flying beasts chose to avoid the white cranes and took detours while those who could not avoid them in time could only hurriedly drop to a low altitude.

Countless white cranes lowered their altitude and flew until they were only about 100 meters away from the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

“So beautiful!” Little Yuan’er exclaimed as she clapped her hands excitedly.

Kong Wen hurriedly shushed Little Yuan’er before he said, “Little ancestor, the more beautiful they are, the more vicious they are as well.”

“Why?”

“The habitat of these white cranes is a mulberry tree. It’s said that the second daughter of the Red Emperor learned some strange methods and turned into a white crane. Then, she made a nest on the mulberry tree near the southern sea. The Red Emperor was very sad when he saw his daughter in that state and begged her to come down from the tree. Alas, she refused. In order to force her down, the Red Emperor burned the mulberry tree and burned her as well. The big tree was later named the Princess Mulberry Tree. Later on, she became one of the zombie kings, and she’s even ranked third,” Kong Wen said with a sigh.

Initially, Little Yuan’er had been filled with curiosity as she listened to Kong Wen. However, as soon as zombie kings were mentioned, she shrank back immediately.

Conch said, “The Red Emperor was so ruthless! He even burned his daughter to death.”

“We can’t judge things based on appearance. There’s a reason for everything; it’s just that we don’t know what it is,” Kong Wen said.

Everyone sighed as well.

Swoosh!

At this moment, one of the larger white cranes swooped down.

Kong Wen’s eyes widened in shock as he said, “Pavilion Master, we must hide as soon as possible!”

“Why do we have to hide?” Yu Zhenghai asked.

“There’s no time to explain! Pavilion Master, please trust me!” Kong Wen said as his eyes widened in fear.

Lu Zhou turned around as he looked at the white crane swooping down from the sky. It was different from the others. Its body was bathed in a strange energy as it streaked across the sky.

“Freeze,” Lu Zhou said in a deep voice as he raised his hand.

The Hourglass of Time flew out and landed on the ground.

Electric arcs that had been imbued with the divine power froze everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion immediately. Then, he chanted the mantra for the power of concealment.

With one’s body and wisdom in the heavenly arts, one can reveal one’s vast strength. With the cloud medallion, one will be able to hide from sight and avoid detection through various heavenly arts.

A wave of energy rippled out like water from Lu Zhou’s body and gently shrouded everyone.

When the white crane was ten meters in the air, it lowered its head to have a look before it flew up again, joining the other white cranes and continued to fly north.

When Lu Zhou looked up, he saw a white crane that was dozens of feet long flying slowly at the end of the flock. A young girl wearing a light yellow dress sat on the back of the white crane. Her eyes were bright, and her facial features were pleasing. Her hair was tied up, and a sparkling headdress sat on her head.

“Princess Mulberry?” Lu Zhou frowned. He was not certain if the person in front of him was Princess Mulberry. However, based on her appearance and movement, she did not look like a zombie at all. Her skin was indeed a little whiter than ordinary humans, but other than that, she looked normal. Was she really a zombie king?

Lu Zhou lowered his head and looked at the hourglass of time.

The blue sand flowed rapidly from one end to the other end. When all the sand fell to the bottom, the effect would vanish as well.

Lu Zhou waved his hand, using the divine power to stop the sand from dropping too quickly. With this, the freezing effect would last longer. However, the price he had to pay was a large amount of his divine power.

All of a sudden, that white crane stopped above everyone else. Then, it spread its wings.

Swoosh!

Its wings were just a few feets in length when they suddenly expanded. The snow-white wings covered the sky in just an instant.

At the same time, the white crane’s beak slowly fell from the sky.

Lu Zhou could feel the effect of the Hourglass of Time was almost gone. It would likely be gone in another five or six seconds.

At this time, he hurriedly flipped his palm and brought out a Deadly Strike Card. He would add another one if it was necessary. If she dared to attack, he would not hesitate to kill her.

At this moment, the disadvantage of having so many people with him was made very clear. If he were alone, he would not have to do this.

At this moment, the young girl’s long dress fluttered in the air as she leaped down.
