Chapter 398: Yield

Lu Zhou had already thought of these words when he was meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.

Since Shen Liangshou was at the top of the whitelist, regardless of the nature of his activities, they had nothing to do with him. However, he could not let this incident slide. These three punishments were reasonable enough.

When Shen Liangshou and the others heard this, they frowned.

The other cultivators in the villa exchanged glances.

This man had spoken in such a brazen manner before their master. Where did he get his confidence from?

An ominous feeling rose in Steward Zhou’s heart. He took two steps back, slightly worried. He was already injured to begin with. If they were to fight, he would only be on the losing end.

Instead of being offended, Shen Liangshou laughed. He applauded and said, “Old mister... That joke isn’t funny at all.”

“I never joke,” Lu Zhou said with a straight face.

Sheng Liangshou frowned slightly. “There are only a handful of individuals in the world who can impress me. For as long as I’ve lived, I’ve only been impressed by two people.”

“Oh?”

“The first is the current Emperor, Yong Qing.” When he said this, he made no movements. He opened his mouth again and cupped his fists. “The second person is the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch. That’s who I admire.”

“...”

‘Steward Zhou wasn’t lying. He’s really taking me as his idol.’

It was quite ironic for the first person on the whitelist to admire the person on the top of the blacklist.

Little Yuan’er broke out in peals of laughter and said, “In that case, you should kneel and grovel before my master!” She said this earnestly and seriously.

However, it sounded extremely mocking to Shen Liangshou.

“Feng Ping.” Shen Liangshou waved his hand.

Feng Ping had a sharp look in his eyes. With swift movements, he left an afterimage in his wake.

Dao Invisibility and Expansive Heavenly Energy?

Everyone was staring at Feng Ping who had unleashed all his strength.

Little Yuan’er was about to make a move when she saw her master raise his palm. ‘Since master’s making his move, everything is settled now...’

A purple electric light shone in Lu Zhou’s hand. He curved his arm and pushed forward. It was not a Deadly Strike Card, it was Thunderblast!

A palm seal that was buzzing with bolts of purple lightning shot forward.

“A Divine Court realm cultivator?” Feng Ping thought nothing of this. He kept his eyes on Lu Zhou. Just when he was about to touch Lu Zhou, the purple Thunderblast fell on him.

Bam!

He was hit squarely on the chest. Before he could even unleash his Dao Invisibility or Expansive Heavenly Energy, he was sent flying. His mind turned blank. While he faced the skies, he saw a purple lightning bolt descending from the skies. He croaked, “Thunderblast?”

Boom!

Thunderblast connected with its target.

Feng Ping spat out a mouthful of fresh blood skyward before crashing on the ground loudly. His dantian’s sea of Qi felt as though it had been heavily hammered by someone. He lost all means of fighting back.

The fatality rate of Thunderblast was low. However, the rate for it to land a heavy blow was not bad, and it was triggered this time.

The entire courtyard was as silent as a graveyard.

Steward Zhou’s knees buckled. He fell to the ground. His face was ashen. ‘Is this the Divine Court realm? Is this still the f*cking Divine Court realm? How can a Divine Court realm cultivator deal such a heavy blow to a Four-leaf Nascent Divinity elite like Feng Ping? You’ve got to be kidding me!’

Steward Zhou was not the only one who was shocked. Shen Liangshou was shocked as well.

Shen Liangshou’s cultivation base was only one leaf higher compared to Feng Ping. He was among the ranks of Five-leaf grand cultivators. However, against the old man who defeated Feng Ping with a single strike, his confidence wavered. Alas, he could not back down at this point. He waved his hand.

The other cultivators hovered in the air. They moved forward and surrounded Lu Zhou and Little Yuan’er.

“Stubborn.” Lu Zhou shook his head.

Little Yuan’er rolled her eyes and said, “You’re so stupid. Since you admire my master so much, shouldn’t you be begging for forgiveness right now?”

‘Hm?’ Shen Liangshou sneered and said, “Little girl, don’t you think for a moment that I’m a gullible person. I’m at the top of the whitelist, after all. Seize them!”

With his order, the cultivators advanced upon them.

Naturally, Shen Liangshou would not believe her. He had a portrait of Ji Tiandao in his study. It was a face that he looked at every single day. The old man before him looked nothing like Ji Tiandao!

Lu Zhou could not be blamed for this. After all, Ji Tiandao never cared about his appearance. On top of that, his hair was usually disheveled due to his old age, and he had a fiery temper. In contrast, this gentle old man who had an erudite air about him looked completely different.

When the cultivators advanced, Shen Liangshou flew into the air from his flying chariot.

“Bi An.”

Roar!

Nobody knew which corner did the roar originate from.

Bi An charged out of the shadows. It lunged at the cultivators around it.

The cultivators were scared out of their wits. They were plunged into disarray at once like a platter of loose sand.

Bi An was enough to deal with these low-ranked cultivators.

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 10 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 10 merit points.”

Lu Zhou did not care about the meager number of merit points. Instead, he was looking at the flying chariot that had just risen into the air.

Shen Liangshou said, “I will remember this debt... We’ll meet again.” He was confident that he could escape on his flying chariot.

Lu Zhou’s expression remained unchanged. He raised his left hand before he lifted his right hand. He condensed Qi into energy. A faint bluish bow took form. A blue energy arrow materialized between his index and middle fingers as well.

Originating from nothing, and from it comes everything. Living in samsara and learning from it.

The scene of him penetrating the clouds and shooting down the mount Ba Wu played in his mind.

The extraordinary power of the Heavenly Writing scrolls was wrapped around the arrow.

Bam!

The energy arrow was released. It sailed through the air like a blue fireworks show. Its radiance was accentuated by the moonlight as it formed a long tail behind itself.

Shen Liangshou heard the peculiar incoming sound behind himself. He turned to look. “What’s that? Energy arrow?”

He activated his avatar at once! He covered his body in his protective energy.

The energy arrow seemed as though it was piercing through tofu as it pierced Shen Liangshou’s avatar and his dantian’s sea of Qi.

With a crack, the flying chariot shattered.

Shen Liangshou fell from the skies.

Little Yuan’er jumped up and down as she clapped her hands. “It’s a hit... Master, I want to learn archery as well!”

Lu Zhou shook his head. He was not quite satisfied. If he had attacked with Unnamed, he would have killed a Five-leaf elite. He used the same amount of power, one-third of his extraordinary power. When he used it with Unnamed back then, he killed the Sword Freak Luo Changqing with the power of past lives. However, at the moment, he could only shoot down the Five-leaf Shen Liangshou. Without a heaven-grade weapon and at this range, the intensity of his attack was much weaker. However, the arrow had penetrated Shen Liangshou’s dantian’s sea of Qi. This was equivalent to destroying his cultivation base.

Boom!

Shen Liangshou crashed onto a roof and rolled off it. When he fell to the ground, he regarded Lu Zhou with a frightful expression.

At the same time, Bi An had already cleared the cultivators.

The villa was silent again.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at Shen Liangshou on the ground and said, “I gave you a chance... but you didn’t cherish it.”

Shen Liangshou’s expression was extremely dark. He withstood the pain pulsing from his dantian’s sea of Qi and asked, “Are you from the Luo Sect?”

Little Yuan’er said, “Ptooey! Not the crappy Luo Sect.”

Lu Zhou did not mind. He spoke with a deep voice, “Do you yield?”

Shen Liangshou was sprawled on the ground. “I do. I really do.”
