Chapter 161 - I Know Your Schemes
Little Yuan’er also clearly distrusted him. “I think that there’s something fishy about him as well.”
Lu Zhou stopped walking. He paused halfway on the staircase and said, “How so?”
Mingshi Yin bowed at Lu Zhou before walking up to Wei Zhuoyan. He said, “Wei Zhuoyan, you’ve got guts.”
Wei Zhuoyan said in a puzzled tone, “I’m not sure I understand your meaning, Mister Fourth.”
“Alright… That’s enough. I know about your scheme… Your scheme is too boring and predictable.” Mingshi Yin shook his head.
“I truly don’t understand what you’re trying to say, Mister Fourth.” Wei Zhuoyan’s bearing was clearly different from when he had just arrived at the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall.
“Would a grand commander-in-chief of the three armies, a man who holds vast military power, come here and atone for his sins on his own accord?” Mingshi Yin laughed.
Wei Zhuoyan shook his head and said with a sigh, “I’ve had difficulty sleeping and eating these days. I’ve been constantly thinking about it and was torn between various options. This has kept me up countless nights… I can’t do something against my good nature… The incident of the Fish Dragon Village is my doing, and mine alone. I’ll bear the consequences of my actions. The Evil Sky Pavilion is free to kill or torture me as they see fit.”
Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Little Yuan’er turned to look at their master. They really had to applaud their master for being so ruthless. Only their master could deal with a person like this.
“Why do you have to do this, Pavilion Master?”
“Because you’re not being honest…”
Wei Zhuoyan was taken aback again. He felt as though his thoughts had been laid bare. A sense of apprehension rose in his heart. However, he said, “That’s not important… Everything’s not important. Didn’t the Evil Sky Pavilion want me dead? It’s meaningless to discuss other matters.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “No, it does have meanings.”
His disciples were puzzled by this.
Lu Zhou stared at Wei Zhuoyan and said with a sigh, “Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
“… Okay…” Wei Zhuoyan’s ‘okay’ sounded a lot less confident compared to before.
Lu Zhou raised his hand without any warning and struck Wei Zhuoyan with his palm! His Brahman Eight Meridians’ Primal Qi condensed into energy and landed squarely on Wei Zhuoyan’s chest.
Bam!
Wei Zhuoyan reeled from the impact!
“General!”
“General!”
The soldiers exclaimed with shock.
Thud!
Wei Zhuoyan fell to the floor and continued sliding backward. He slid all the way into the midst of the soldiers.
The others looked at this scene with a dumbfounded expression.
They all knew how terrifying their master could be. He was even capable of killing an elite like Ren Buping with a single palm strike. On top of that, the technique he had used was the Nine Cuts Hand Seals. This technique could shock heaven and earth and make the deities cry. Why was it that their master only sent Wei Zhuoyan flying? Wei Zhuoyan was not even hurt.
‘Isn’t this palm strike… too weak?’ The disciples were baffled by this. They looked at Wei Zhuouan who had sat back up as he pressed a hand to his chest.
Lu Zhou said, “Is this the same Wei Zhuoyan with a Seven-leaf avatar?”
Wei Zhuoyan endured the pain and said, “I’ve already owned up to my sins… If you want to kill me, please make it quick.”
“Fool,” Lu Zhou cursed.
“Hm?” Wei Zhuoyan was stunned.
Lu Zhou’s voice was stern as he said, “Come clean, and I won’t punish you for impersonating Wei Zhuoyan!”
