Chapter 927: Eight Chart Judges
Since there were quite a few people on the lookout, there was no problem so far.
In order to avoid disturbance and distraction, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong sat with their backs facing each other.
The two miniature avatars continued to flash and spin.
Lu Zhou had long taught his disciples the method of sprouting leaves. Their understanding was profound so sprouting leaves should not pose a problem to them at all. All he needed to do was keep an eye out on the blackguards who might appear and deal with the Birth Chart Beasts. Just to be safe, he silently recited the incantations for the power of hearing from the Heavenly Writing. In just a moment, the range of hearing spread far and wide.
In the east.
Ming Shiyin muttered, “Doggy, to be honest, I intentionally gave way to Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. Do you believe me when I say I can already sprout the tenth leaf?”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Qiong Qi barked.
“It seems like you understand me the most. You can consider following me when you grow up. Master has 3,000 mounts in his harem so he won’t dote on you alone. Only I will treat you well...” Mingshi Yin continued to say.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
“Alright, then. We have a deal. I didn’t raise you and clean your poop and pee in vain! I’ll catch wild beasts for you to eat every day!”
Lu Zhou “...”
He continued listening.
The four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion reminiscing and lamenting the past as old people tended to do.
“I didn’t expect that Evil Sky Pavilion would come to the red lotus domain... Moreover, we even became Nine-leaf cultivators. In the past, we’re like frogs at the bottom of a well, thinking the Eight-leaf stage is highest...”
“If it weren’t for me wanting to meet Pan Zhong, I would’ve missed out on such an exciting life. This is truly the work of fate...”
After that, Lu Zhou listened in another direction.
“Ninth Senior Sister, you’ll be able to sprout the tenth leaf soon, right?” Conch asked.
“No matter how many leaves I have, I won’t be as fast as you. Moreover, you even have the karmic fire! I’m so envious,” Little Yuan’er replied.
“There’s nothing to be envious of. I only inherited these from my mother. In fact, I envy you. Our senior brothers and the others really dote on you. They seem to be estranged from me.”
“You’re thinking too much. They’re just not used to your sudden change.”
“Alright. Ninth Senior Sister, we must continue to get along!”
“Okay!”
“Let’s pinky swear.”
Subsequently, Lu Zhou cut off the power of hearing and turned to look at Yu Zhenghai’s golden avatar.
The ring of light was falling at a much greater speed now.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou believed it would not be long before Yu Zhenghai sprouted the tenth leaf.
Lu Zhou then turned his attention to Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangronrg’s expression was calm as usual. The way he was sprouting his leaf was very different from Yu Zhenghai. Nine dazzling golden leaves revolved around his avatar.
Similar to Yu Zhenghai, Lu Zhou knew Yu Shangrong would successfully sprout the tenth leaf after passing this critical period.
At this moment, Lu Zhou heard a rustling noise and felt a slight movement on his body. In just a second, he brought a black talisman out from his sleeve.
‘Yan Zhenluo?’
Lu Zhou flashed to a tree near the stone forest. Then, he waved his hand.
Swoosh!
The black talisman began to burn on the ground.
It did not take long before Yan Zhenluo’s face appeared. He did not beat around the bush and hurriedly said, “Brother Lu, I sense that Lu Li is in danger!”
“Lu Li is in danger?” Lu Zhou frowned. If Lu Li were in danger, this meant his eighth disciple was in danger as well.
Yan Zhenluo said anxiously, “I’ve been keeping an eye on Lu Li’s life stone every day. Today, the light of his life stone is very weak. Brother Lu, please tell Lu Li’s whereabouts...”
Lu Zhou said, “There is no need to worry. Let me find out.”
With a flick of his sleeve, the projection disappeared.
Lu Zhou placed one hand on his Dantian while the other was resting on his back. He closed his eyes and recited the incantations for the Heavenly Writing Power. His eyes shone with a blue light.
Soon enough, Lu Zhou saw yellow lotus cultivators surrounding and attacking a giant beast. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, looking organized and disciplined. A few injured cultivators lay on the ground, but they were quickly rescued by others.
In the air, in front of the giant beast, Zhu Honggong flew back and first as he sent energy fists at the giant beast.
Boom!
The giant beast screeched in pain when the energy fists landed.
Upon seeing this, a few cultivators cheered loudly in unison.
“Sect Master is amazing!”
Zhu Honggong glared at the giant beast and roared, “Brothers, don’t panic. It’s going to die soon... Wear it out! I’ll hold up the sky if it falls!”
“Sect Master is mighty!”
“Sect Master is mighty!”
Xu Wanqing and Tao Jing each led hundreds of cultivators and flew side by side as they bombarded the giant beast with attacks. Numerous energy swords and energy blades shot out as the two teams took turns to attack.
Whenever the giant beast was about to rise, Zhu Honggong would fly to the top of its head and punch it at the critical moment. At the same time, he avoided the attack of the giant beast.
How could this be?
There was a team that dealt damage, a team that defended, and a team that specialized in healing injured cultivators. There were tens of thousands of cultivators on the battlefield, working together with Zhu Hong to attack the beast.
Lu Zhou looked around, trying to locate Lu Li. He could only see around his eighth disciple so his field of vision was limited.
Behind the crowd, in a huge carriage, Lu Li was supported by two cultivators. There was blood at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the beast with a red face.
“Mister Lu, your plan is working. The beast won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”
Lu Li nodded and said, “Attack with all your strength. We should not keep fighting for too long.”
One of them stood in the air and shouted, “Mister Lu has given an order. Attack with all your strength! Everyone! Attack with all your strength!”
Zhu Honggong looked back and said in a clear voice, “All brothers above the Five-leaf stage, follow my avatar. Gather!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless cultivators manifested their avatars and stood behind Zhu Honggong after he manifested his avatar.
Zhu Honggong’s avatar was 200 feet tall. Compared to the avatars that were only 30 feet tall, it stood out like a crane among chickens.
Lu Zhou was rather moved when he saw this. He did not expect his eighth disciple to be ahead of his other disciples. However, it was reasonable. After all, apart from the Great Void Seed, his eighth disciple had Lu Li’s help in gathering all the resources in the yellow lotus domain.
After a moment, Lu Zhou cut off the Heavenly Writing Power and the projection disappeared. He opened his eyes; the wind and the swaying trees brought him back to his senses.
Following that, he brought out another black talisman and held it between two fingers before it began to rustle and burn.
Yan Zhenluo appeared in front of his eyes immediately.
“Brother Lu,” Yan Zhenluo said anxiously.
“He’s fine,” Lu Zhou said calmly. “He’s only injured. It’s nothing serious.”
A delighted and relieved expression appeared on Yan Zhenluo’s face immediately. At the same time, he saw Lu Li’s life stone had grown brighter and was no longer flickering. “Thank you, Brother Lu. There’s another thing that needs your attention...”
“What is it?”
“The Black Tower Council’s radical faction is very dissatisfied that the blackguards they sent to the red lotus domain were focusing on repairs and inventory. Therefore, they have sent a judge to the red lotus domain,” Yan Zhenluo said solemnly.
“A judge?”
Yan Zhenluo explained, “The Black Tower Council is divided into the Upper Council and the Lower Council. The Upper Council makes all the decisions, and the Lower Council executes them. The Black Tower Council maintains rules and order while the judges are responsible for capturing and punishing criminals. There are four judges in the Black Tower Council, and all of them have eight Birth Charts. They were selected by the council from various forces thousands of years ago, and their strength is unfathomable.”
“Eight Birth Charts...” Lu Zhou thought about his enhanced Deadly Strike Card.
According to the book Yan Zhenluo gave him, at the Thousand Realms Whirling, every six Birth Charts would see a qualitative leap in strength. Then, how strong were Eight Chart experts?
“There so many conflicting opinions in the Black Tower Council, but no one objected to this?” Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
“Some people objected, but it was useless. Not everyone can remain rational after all, let alone the radical judges. The Black Guards doesn’t want to stir up trouble, but we still have to be careful of them switching sides at the last minute.
Lu Zhou nodded. “Alright.”
When the black talisman burned away, Yan Zhenluo’s disappeared as well.
Before Lu Zhou could gather his thoughts, he felt movements behind him. He shot into the sky immediately, leaving afterimages in his wake.
At the same time, Si Wuya, who was observing near the stone forest, raised his head and saw his master. Then, he hurriedly said, “Master, there’s a change... The Birth Chart Beast is heading to the mountain range of the Eastern Forest Mountain.
Lu Zhou looked at the mountain range in the Eastern Forest Mountain. Indeed, a huge shadow could be seen landing in the mountain range.
Lu Zhou frowned. “What’s going on?”
Logically speaking, the Birth Chart Beast should have rushed over here. Why did it fly there?
the Donglin mountain range. Indeed, there was a huge shadow that flew over and just happened to sink into the mountain range.
“What’s going on?”Lu Zhou asked in puzzlement.
Logically speaking, the life-bound beast should have rushed over here. Why would it go over there?
“It seems like something there has attracted the Birth Chart Beast.” Si Wuya did not think of this possibility at all. As the saying went, ‘Even wise men make mistakes’.
Fortunately, they were not too far away from the Birth Chart Beasts.
Lu Zhou looked at Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai and said, “Keep an eye on them. I’ll be back soon.”
“Understood.”
