Chapter 1416: Confronting the Heavens

Realization finally dawned on Lan Xihe. She asked, “Pavilion Master Lu, you mean to say that the Halcyon Bird killed your disciple?”

Lu Zhou stared at Lan Xihe unblinkingly. How could Lan Xihe not know about such a big matter?

Lan Xihe could clearly see the hostility in Lu Zhou’s eyes so she said, “It’s true that I have control over the Halcyon Bird, but the beast tamer, Yang Liansheng, could also control it. The Halcyon Bird and Ling Guang, the Fire Deity, were old enemies, and they both perished on Mount Halcyon. That’s all I know. Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

“You really don’t know?” Lu Zhou was perplexed.

The blue-clad female attendant who was standing next to Lan Xihe suddenly said, “With my master’s status, there’s no need for her to explain herself to you.”

The blue-clad female attendant was no longer the same person from the past, after all. She now emitted a strong sense of superiority.

Lu Zhou did not hesitate and instantly launched a palm seal that had been imbued with one-third of his divine power. The divine power brought it with a huge sense of oppression and intimidation.

The blue-clad female attendant’s expression changed drastically, and she hastily retreated for ten meters.

Alas, the palm seal tore through space and appeared in front of the blue-clad female attendant in just a blink of an eye.

Lan Xihe exclaimed in surprise, “A Venerable Master?”

Then, Lan Xihe raised her fair right hand that shone like the sun, dispelling the palm seal.

Qin Renyue and Lu Zhou: “…”

Qin Renyue’s heart pounded in his chest even harder than before when he saw this scene. The woman in front of them was clearly very powerful.

Lan Xihe dropped her hand, and the light disappeared. After everything returned to normal, she said, “I didn’t expect you to become a Venerable Master in such a short time.”

Lu Zhou said expressionlessly, “You’re much stronger than the projection of yours.”

Lan Xihe’s expression turned slightly unnatural when Lu Zhou mentioned her projection. Regardless of whether it was her real self or her projection, there was no denying she had lost terribly because of Lu Zhou’s three moves. As a Holy Maiden of the Great Void, that matter was indeed rather embarrassing. As an equalizer, how could she be called competent if she could not suppress those from the nine domains?

Lan Xihe finally said, “Back then, I used a sacred relic to form a projection without any memories. I stayed in the White Tower Council to maintain peace. If I had left even the slightest bit of memory in my projection, you wouldn’t have been able to defeat me.”

Sensing that the atmosphere was getting tenser like a fight could break out at any moment, Qin Renyue hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Can we talk about the matter at hand?”

Then, Qin Renyue winked meaningfully at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou ignored Qin Renyue and solemnly said, “Then, let’s get down to business.”

“Please speak,” Lan Xihe said.

“It’s only right for someone to pay with their lives after killing someone,” Lu Zhou said.

“The Halcyon Bird, Yang Liansheng, Yue Qi, and Yang Jinhong all died on Mount Halcyon. Isn’t that enough?” Lan Xihe was perplexed. If it were not because she knew Lu Zhou, based on the perspective of the Great Void, Lu Zhou should be the one to blame for that huge incident.

“They were killed by Ling Guang. What does it have to do with me?” Lu Zhou said expressionlessly.

“…”

Lan Xihe was speechless.

Qin Renyue did not expect the people from the Great Void to be so reasonable. He found it rather unbelievable. After a moment, he said, “I don’t think you’re behind the incident. All you need to do is to tell us who is the culprit.”

“The culprit is Yue Qi. There’s no one else,” Lan Xihe said with a sigh, “I didn’t expect this to happen. I’m very sorry. I’ll hide the matter today from the Sacred Hall. I’m very sorry for your loss, Pavilion Master Lu.”

Lu Zhou was silent. If it were someone else who came, he would have thrown out a bunch of item cards without wasting words. He did not expect to meet Lan Xihe. After talking to her, it was clear she was unaware of what had happened. Moreover, based on her strength, there was no need for her to lie. Moreover, she had once helped Ye Tianxin and the Evil Sky Pavilion. It was not time to make an enemy out of the Great Void yet.

Seeing that Lu Zhou was silent, Lan Xihe said directly, “Farewell.”

Then, Lan Xihe flew away. The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel shone brightly before she arrived at the Pillar of Destruction in just a blink of an eye and vanished from sight,

Qin Renyue inhaled deeply before he said, “She’s very strong.”

“Indeed,” Lu Zhou said.

“Fortunately, she knows how to distinguish right from wrong. If we really fight, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Qin Renyue said.

Lu Zhou remained silent. Whatever he said now would sound like he was bragging anyway. It would just make things awkward.

At this moment, a figure flew over.

“She left?”

Qin Renyue nodded. “That’s right.”

“That was close. That woman isn’t simple. Don’t provoke her. Both of you are really courageous; you didn’t bother hiding at all! If she’s angry, I don’t even dare to show myself,” Jie Jin’an said.

“You seem afraid of her.”

“I’m not afraid of her, but I’m afraid of the people behind her,” Jie Jin’an said, “Saying that, that woman has the potential of becoming a supreme being in the future so we can’t underestimate her.”

“S-supreme being?” Qin Renyue was shocked.

“She has the Great Void Seed, after all,” Jie Jin’an said.

“…”

Qin Renyue fell silent. That woman clearly had a powerful background.

Jie Jin’an said, “There are ten halls in the Great Void. One of the halls, the eighth hall, used to be called the Hall of Light, but its name was changed to Xihe Hall. It’s the only hall that has a name change. Accordingly, she’s one of the 12 Dao Saints of the Great Void.”

“She’s actually a Dao Saint?”

“After becoming a Venerable Master, the number of Birth Charts is no longer the deciding factor of power. The control over the laws and the comprehension of the laws are the deciding factors. However, if one’s comprehension level was the same as one’s opponent, then the deciding factor would be the number of Birth Charts. Lan Xihe was already a Saint with 30 Birth Charts 10,000 years ago. When a Saint has mastery over the Dao, they would be known as Dao Saints. When they have mastery over the Great Dao, they would be known as Great Dao Saints.”

Although Lu Zhou’s expression remained the same, he was rather surprised. He did not expect Lan Xihe to be that strong. How terrifying.

Qin Renyue moved next to Lu Zhou and said, “That was close! Brother Lu, it seems like we couldn’t recognize Mount Tai when it was in front of us. To think that the Great Void is so strong!”

“???”

Jie Jin’an coughed twice before he said, “Let me remind you that the person next to you is not bad either. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Qin Renyue smiled and said, “Of course, Brother Lu is not bad! Is there a need to state the obvious?”

“No, no, no, you don’t understand,” Jie Jin’an said, intending to explain. However, when he recalled how complex things were, he only helplessly said, “Forget it. You won’t understand even if I explain it to you.”

Then, Jie Jin’an straightened his back and said, “Remember to cultivate well. Farewell.”

“Jie Jin’an,” Lu Zhou called out.

“What’s the matter?” Jie Jin’an was puzzled

“Why are you helping me?”

Jie Jin’an scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he still could not think of a good excuse. Therefore, he grinned and said, “Because of fate.”

“…”

After saying that, Jie Jin’an disappeared.

Qin Renyue said, filled with admiration, “Brother Lu, you have a lot of friends. Moreover, all of them are experts.”

Lu Zhou did not respond. Instead, he flew into the air before he made his way to the Pillar of Destruction.

Qin Renyue’s expression changed instantly. “Again?”

Nonetheless, Qin Renyue gritted his teeth and followed Lu Zhou. After witnessing Lan Xihe’s strength, his heroic spirit and boiling blood had long been cooled down.

The duo flew over the carcass of the black dragon, took a detour in the Forest of Horror, and drew close to the Pillar of Destruction.

This was Lu Zhou’s second time being so close to the Pillar of Destruction in Yu Zhong.. The difference was that this time he returned as a Great Venerable Master.
