Chapter 11
‘This system has quite unexpected features,’ Lu Zhou thought to himself. Fortunately, he was old now and his skin was saggy and wrinkled, so nobody could see the change in his expression, unless it was an obvious one.
When Zhou Jifeng heard that, he shouted furiously, “Bullsh*t! Don’t you try to sow discord, old villain! Everyone in the world knows that Si Wuya, the seventh disciple of Golden Court Mountain, is a despicable man good at calculation. A pity that such a mean trick is useless against me!”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “What an ardent but ignorant youth! In this case, I will tell you everything. When I visited Yi Province many years ago, I stopped at the Jiang Family for a rest. Coincidentally, the young lady of the family was giving birth. The newborn boy was born with extraordinary bone structure and amazing talents. I intended to take him in as my disciple. So, I gave his parents three days to consider. But, regardless of their decision, I had decided to bring the boy with me…However, the next day, the whole Jiang Family was slaughtered.”
“It was already too late when I arrived…Later on, the whole cultivation world thought I was the one who slaughtered the Jiang Family. I’ve killed countless people in my life, and one more murder case or one less false charge would not change that fact. All the orthodox cultivators in the world thought I did it, but nobody knew it was actually done by Luo Changfeng.”
Fighting back the pain, Zhou Jifeng sneered, “You can continue to make up the story…”
Lu Zhou knew that the other would not believe it, so he gave him a heavy dose, “You have a birthmark on your shoulder. When you were born, the inside of your body was wet and cold. It was I who helped you to get rid of that, and it is also the reason why there is always a stream of evil energy in your body. Your surname is Jiang, and you are the son of that Jiang Family…”
Zhou Jifeng was taken aback. Few people knew he had a birthmark on his shoulder, so how did this old villain know?
Lu Zhou said faintly, “You should know my temper. I don’t like anyone lying to me.”
When the trio heard that, their expressions changed slightly.
The fourth disciple, Mingshi Yin, said hastily, “We found some hunters in the southern foothills…Golden Court Mountain is not a place for them to hunt.”
“So, you attacked them?”
“I…I’m sorry, Master. I should have killed them all!” Mingshi Yin said.
Lu Zhou, “…”
“Golden Court Mountain is famous in the cultivation world, so how could those hunters not know that? It is very likely that they are spies sent by those so-called orthodox sects. Master, I’ll go and kill them all now!”
Mingshi Yin turned around and was about to leave when Lu Zhou, somewhat speechless, said, “Hold on!”
“Ah?”
“The shield has not yet been fully repaired, so it is normal for someone to accidentally trespass our land. You just have to drive them away and only attack when you discover someone with ill intentions,” said Lu Zhou.
The three villainous disciples looked at each other and thought, ‘Wait, this is not Master’s usual routine…Shouldn’t we kill those intruders and their families?’
2“This disciple will obey Master’s order.”
Their loyalty was 68%, 62%, and 65% respectively.
After that, they went to the foothills together. As soon as they left the Evil Sky Pavilion, they felt the pressure in their hearts disappear. The fifth disciple, Zhao Yue, smiled and said as she played with her hair, “Master has suddenly become so gentle that I’m not used to it. Senior Brothers…do you feel that Master has become different from before?”
Mingshi Yin, who boasted of being good at analysis, stroked his chin and said, “Don’t panic, don’t blindly analyze, and learn from your mistakes…Maybe Master is trying a new routine.”
2“Yes, we just have to follow his orders and not ask too much.” Duanmu Sheng did not care so much and just made his way down the mountain.
…
Before long, Lu Zhou, who was resting in Evil Sky Pavilion, heard a prompt.
“You have saved 15 innocent lives and are rewarded with 150 merit points.”
3“You have received the worship of 14 people and are rewarded with 14 merit points. You have received the devout worship of 1 person and are rewarded with 10 merit points.”
3“Hint #1: Devout worship has a 10x bonus, and ordinary worship does not have a bonus.”
“Hint #2: You will not get merit points again from the same worship.”
“Hint #3: Merit points will not be rewarded from worship that is deliberately planned.”
2Lu Zhou opened his eyes instantly.
‘What! I can get merit points from worship? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?’
Whenever someone knelt and bowed to him, he would actually receive merit points!
