Chapter 397: Killing a Person is as Simple as Making His Head Roll On The Ground

It was getting darker as the sun was setting.

Little Yuan’er’s sudden strike stunned the cultivators outside the room. They stood riveted to the ground as they stared at the young lady before them with incredulity. This was especially true for the man who wanted to test their cultivation bases earlier. He stood near the door with wide eyes like a wooden chicken. He knew Steward Zhou’s strength well. Steward Zhou was in the peak Divine Court realm, and yet, he was sent flying with just a kick from the young lady? What was this?

Everyone inside and outside the room fell silent for some time. They were staring at the young lady before them with wide eyes.

Steward Zhou launched into a coughing fit as he was sprawled on the ground. As he coughed, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Master, he’s not dead yet. Can I give him another kick?” Little Yuan’er requested.

“...”

Her request made Steward Zhou cough up another mouthful of blood. A book should not be judged by its cover nor should a person be judged by their looks. This little girl seemed innocent and pure, and yet, she was terrifying.

Steward Zhou raised a hand and pointed an accusatory finger at the man who was supposed to test their cultivation bases.

The man fell to his knees immediately, fumbling over his words. “I, I...” He wanted to say that he had no idea that the little girl’s cultivation base would be greater than her master.

Lu Zhou looked at Steward Zhou who was sprawled on the ground before he looked at the other frightened cultivators around him. He said, “If you wish to live, tell Shen Liangshou to meet me.”

At this moment, several figures gathered outside the door.

Lu Zhou was surprised to find that there were these many cultivators in the small Liang Province’s city.

Steward Zhou sat up and said with a deep voice, “Don’t come in!” He inhaled deeply and calmed his spirits. He pressed on his chest as he asked, “Old-old mister... Do you really want to go against Master Shen?”

Without waiting for a reply from Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er said, “You’re annoying. My master will meet anyone he wants. Do you have a problem with that?” As she spoke, she waved her fist.

Steward Zhou flinched. ‘This little girl doesn’t seem to be the reasonable kind.’ He looked at Lu Zhou who seemed indifferent to all this. He hoped that the old man in the Divine Court realm would say something.

Before he could say anything, Lu Zhou said, “I will meet Shen Liangshou tomorrow morning... I won’t repeat myself.”

The steward was stunned.

At this moment, Little Yuan’er summoned her Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. Her ten-foot avatar suddenly appeared. The resonance of her Primal Qi made the cultivators in the area shiver despite the temperature.

“Good gracious... A Nascent Divinity elite!”

“A leafed avatar... this... this... this...” The man was still holding the gemstone in his hand. Currently, he was ghastly pale.

Little Yuan’er laughed. She pointed at the man and said, “Are you scared out of your wits now? What a cowardly person... Master, show them your avatar! Let them have the shock of their lives!”

Lu Zhou. “...”

Lu Zhou looked up at the huge hole in the ceiling. He raised his hand and softly knocked Little Yuan’er’s head. He reprimanded her, “Behave yourself.”

Little Yuan’er hastily covered her head and dared not make any other requests. “I’ve made a mistake, master.”

Lu Zhou left the room with his hands on his back.

When one of the cultivators saw this, he immediately understood what was happening and said, “I’ll prepare a new room for you.”

Little Yuan’er hopped over the threshold. She pulled a face at the man with the gemstone. “I’ve almost forgotten... You’re not worthy to see my master’s avatar!” After she said this, she followed her master to the other room.

When the two of them left, Steward Zhou and the tester exchanged glances.

The man was close to tears as he held the gemstone closely. “Steward Zhou... please... please have mercy... That old... old man is t-truly in the Divine Court realm... I swear if I lie, I’ll die a gruesome death–”

Steward Zhou’s eyes were bloodshot. Little Yuan’er kick had gravely injured him. He could judge for himself if Lu Zhou was truly in the Divine Court realm or not.

Steward Zhou looked at the cultivators in the courtyard and ordered, “Notify Master Shen... Tell him to come here, quickly...” Then, he looked at the man with the gemstone. “You can get lost now.”

The meaning of ‘get lost’ in the Shen Villa meant that he would be reduced to a blind, deaf, and dumb person, if not dead. The dealings of this place would never be allowed to be leaked to the outside world. ‘Get lost’ was merely an indirect way of saying things.

When the man heard this, his face turned ashen as he lowered his head.

...

Night fell.

Lu Zhou meditated on the Heavenly Writing scrolls inside his room.

After a while, he suddenly heard the notification from the system.

“Ding! You’ve meditated on the contents of the Heavenly Scroll 100 times. Reward: Open Heavenly Writing Scroll (middle).”

Lu Zhou opened his eyes. He was slightly surprised by this. He remembered that meditating 100 times required a long time. It seemed like a long time had passed. He had two Open Heavenly Scrolls now. All that was left was the ‘back’ scroll. He reckoned that the final piece was on Brackish Mountain. This reminded him of Yu Shangrong.

Lu Zhou sighed. Yu Shangrong had not changed since his youth. No matter what happened, he would not make a sound. He would insist on taking care of things himself. He hoped that nothing untoward would happen to Yu Shangrong.

Then, he closed his eyes and continued meditating on the Heaven Writing scroll.

Time passed by without him noticing.

The skies were still dark.

Torches were lit in the courtyard.

Shortly after, there were buzzes of resonance.

Someone was summoning their avatars. To put it more aptly, there were many who were trying to summon their avatars.

Lu Zhou did not move. He was unaffected.

About six cultivators hovered above the villa. They surrounded a miniature flying chariot, which was just the right size to fit a single person.

Lu Zhou sensed the intense surges of auras outside. Although he could not see it, the resonance of the surging auras meant that there were at least two Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elites.

Indeed, Shen Liangshou was skilled.

The flying chariot landed. The other cultivators landed as well.

“Who dares to wreak havoc in my Shen Villa?” The voice was deep and forceful. Clearly, he had deliberately raised his volume for intimidation effects.

‘Is Shen Liangshou an elite cultivator as well?’ Lu Zhou waved his hand casually. The door was blasted open by his energy.

The villa was illuminated by torches. Apart from the Brahman Sea realm cultivators, the courtyard was occupied by the flying chariot and several cultivators.

Shen Liangshou sat with his back straight on the flying chariot.

Lu Zhou walked out of his room with his hands on his back. He swept his eyes across the area. Apart from Shen Liangshou who was a Nascent Divinity elite, the cultivators around him were also in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. The others were only in the Divine Court and Brahman Sea realms. They were too insignificant to mention.

“Are you Shen Liangshou?” Lu Zhou asked.

“How dare you?!” The soundwave rolled across the courtyard.

Steward Zhou felt invigorated. A relieved expression could be seen on his face as he endured the pain.

The one who spoke was the greatest elite under Shen Liangshou, Feng Ping.

When Feng Ping heard Lu Zhou mention Shen Liangshou’s name, he shouted and leaped out.

“Killing a person is only a matter of making his head roll on the ground. You should consider the master before you hit the dog!” Feng Ping leaped and launched dozens of palm seals in the air.

Lu Zhou shook his head helplessly. He was about to use the Heavenly Writing scrolls’ extraordinary power when Little Yuan’er moved with her Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps. She unfurled her Nirvana Sash.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The palm seals were repelled.

Little Yuan’er placed herself before Lu Zhou. She pointed at Feng Pin in the air and said, “Hey, do you think that you’re worthy of fighting my master?”

After she said this, Little Yuan’er moved with her Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps and left several afterimages in her wake as she lunged at Feng Ping.

Lu Zhou did not stop her... Coincidentally, he wanted to see her recent improvements.

For a time, energies shot throughout the villa as the two opponents engaged in a fierce battle.

Little Yuan’er shot to the left and right. It was as though the skies were full of her figures.

Steward Zhou and the others registered looks of fright on their faces when they saw this.

‘That little girl is powerful. To think that she’s evenly matched with Feng Ping.’ Steward Zhou regretted his actions greatly now. He realized that he had offended a great individual because of a low-level mistake by his subordinate. Usually, if they knew they were dealing with an elite cultivator, they would have treated them politely and would never try to take advantage of them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Little Yuan’er grew more and more excited and invigorated as the battle dragged on. Her laughter resounded throughout the villa.

Feng Ping felt more frustrated the longer he fought. He was a Four-leaf Nascent Divinity elite, after all. And yet, he was being held back by a little girl.

Whizz!

He activated his avatar!

The Nirvana Sash wrapped around Little Yuan’er as she reeled. “You lowlife! How dare you rely on your avatar?”

When there was a difference in realms, attacking with one’s avatar was often the best choice.

Feng Ping snorted. He clapped his hands. Several palm seals were launched at Little Yuan’er.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

She defended with her Nirvana Sash again. The palm seals dissipated under the power of the Nirvana Sash.

“It’s a heaven-grade weapon...” On the flying chariot, Shen Liangshou’s eyes brightened. However, he quickly adjusted his expression as though nothing had happened and spoke loudly, “Stop.”

Feng Ping had no choice but to recall his avatar and landed beside the flying chariot.

Shen Liangshou looked at the calm Lu Zhou who was standing by the door and said, “Old mister... Cutting off a person’s avenue to earn money is as grievous a crime as killing his parents... Why don’t we sit down and talk things through?” As he spoke, his eyes were trained on the scarlet Nirvana Sash on Little Yuan’er’s body.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “I’ll give you an opportunity to atone for your sins.” His tone deepened as he continued to say, “First, destroy your cultivation base. Second, answer my questions honestly. Third, as long as I’m here, all of you will do my bidding.”
