Chapter 32
The dozens of cultivators looked down at them from midair. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Murong Hai took a step back. His eyes grew as wide as that of a cow and he stammered, “Ol-old Mis-mis-mister, the-they are all eight-meridians Brahma Sea experts. This… this…”
‘I’ve told you this is a trap! Look what you have brought me into now!’
“I know.” Lu Zhou nodded.
‘Ugh?’ Murong Hai felt like crying. ‘We are about to die, and that’s all you can say? You know?’
Murong Hai’s family ran businesses of the common people. Although he was a fish in water in the business world, he was just an ant in the face of these cultivators. They were from two completely different worlds. What else could he do but be afraid? Yes, he had opened five apertures of the Mystic Enlightening realm, but with such a cultivation base, he did not even have the qualification to stand in front of Brahma Sea experts.
“Old Mister, I think we should run away now!” he suggested. He knew Little Yuan’er was an eight-meridians Brahma Sea expert, so if she could hold back these cultivators for a while, they might have a chance to escape.
However, Lu Zhou’s expression was calm, as if he had not heard Murong Hai’s words and was focusing all his attention on the field.
“No…”
It seemed that no answers could be dug out of his mouth. Little Yuan’er was furious at his replies while Lu Zhou also slightly furrowed his brow, staring at the leader, who lay on his hands and knees, holding his breath and clutching the ground with his shaking fingers.
“Kill him,” said Lu Zhou in a faint voice.
“What! Aren’t you going to ask me a few more questions? Hold on! I’ll tell you everything! Don’t kill me!”
Lu Zhou no longer looked at him but clasped his hands and walked toward the mountain.
Little Yuan’er chuckled and said, “Why didn’t you tell us just now?”
It was not that the leader did not want to tell them. He was a Brahma Sea expert after all, and he was unhurt, so he felt ashamed to disclose everything after just being casually questioned.
“The whole Ci Family is on Bluesun Mountain, but their family head has been taken away by my employer…I…I really don’t know the identity of my employer!”
The leader hurriedly told them the key important information. But, Lu Zhou did not turn back. He was thinking about how he could find the group of cunning disciples. He had only two peak-form experience cards left, so he could not use them to search for his disciples.
Little Yuan’er said, “You are amazing, Grandpa! He told me everything after you scared him!”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I didn’t scare him.”
“Grandpa?”
“This place is indeed a trap. The mastermind had purposely left behind a message. If he didn’t tell us, others would. So, what’s the point of sparing his life?”
If there were any value to the man, that would be providing Lu Zhou some merit points.
“…”
Upon hearing that, the leader slumped to the ground and his face turned deathly pale.
…
At the Derived Moon Palace…
Dozens of female cultivators skimmed over the mountains and landed one after another.
It was a cultivating ground that looked like a wonderland, and the female cultivators were akin to fairies living in here. Who would have thought that this was the Derived Moon Palace, the dwelling place of Ye Tianxin, who killed people without batting an eye and bore the title of Jadeface Shura?
“Master, we’ve received a letter. An old man and a young girl are approaching the Ci Family’s residence.”
Ye Tianxin and Zhao Yue stood up at the same time when they heard that.
“Have their identities been confirmed?”
“They look somewhat similar to the portraits, but our people did not dare to confirm their identities.”
Similar?
Ye Tianxin laughed and said, “With that old man’s temper, he would never disguise himself. As far as I know, Third Senior Brother has been injured, and the Righteous Sect has sent experts to Golden Court Mountain. Also, after the death of Luo Changfeng, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there has been no one to succeed him. Their former sect leader, Luo Xingkong, is constantly looking for an opportunity to avenge his son. Fourth Senior Brother alone can never stop a Nascent Divinity Tribulation expert.”
Zhao Yue knew what she was trying to tell her. This was the best timing to exhaust Ji Tiandao’s trump cards.
“What if these two aren’t impersonators?”
Ye Tianxin chuckled. “Then the old thing would fall right into our trap!”
“Master, we’ve received another letter. The cultivators of the Lakeside Gang on Bluesun Mountain are all dead, and the whole Ci Family, except their family head, have escaped.”
Ye Tianxin’s eyes lit up, and she did not seem surprised. “The person who can kill all the cultivators of the Lakeside Gang is most likely to be…Little Junior Sister.”
After all, there were not many Divine Court experts. Those from the top ten orthodox sects had no reason to rescue an insignificant family. Only Little Yuan’er had the motive.
“Send a letter to Evil King. Inform him that the plan remains unchanged and to get ready for action.”
“I understand!”
