If one were to have bad luck, even the gap between his teeth would get clogged if he only drank cold water. Zhu Honggong felt that he was extremely unlucky now. He had not expected to meet his master at the Green Jade Altar so it was only natural that he was shocked and frightened.
At the same time, the cultivator chasing Zhu Honggong stopped and looked up.
A square cage fell from the air and sailed towards Zhu Honggong.
'I think it'll hit. My luck is good now.' Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He muttered, “I should have tried the lottery..”.
"Sir, what are you trying to draw?"
Lu Zhou ignored Little Yuan'er. His attention was entirely focused on the Binding Cage Card. A small wrinkle appeared on his face when he saw the cage that had grown so large it suddenly swooped in and disappeared completely. Yeah, it disappeared!
The cultivators who witnessed this were dumbfounded.
Lu Zhou's expression was dark. The card made him lose 200 merit points, and it was wasted just like that.
'Should I use another one? What if I miss you again? After all, this card only has a 30% chance of hitting. If they missed out repeatedly, I would throw away too many of my merit points.'
While Lu Zhou was considering his choice, Old Eighth, Zhu Honggong, was overjoyed. He muttered to himself, "It seems that master intends to let me go!"
'I'd better run, hurry!' Zhu Honggong plunged deeper into the forest at lightning speed. His speed was comparable to a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator!
Lu Zhou has a legendary mountain, Bi An. If he were to catch up, he would be able to chase after Zhu Honggong. The problem was that he needed to use the item card if he wanted to capture Old Eighth. Little Yuan'er was strong, but he was not strong enough to face Old Eighth. Moreover, he was wary of the current situation. He would need Little Yuaner by his side for protection. The psychological trauma from the lottery gave him a bad feeling about this. 'forgetit. I'll catch him next time. That bastard is lucky! I have to try and catch it first before I try my luck at the draw.'
It was not difficult if Lu Zhou wanted to capture Zhu Honggong. He has all the time and opportunities in the world. He was going to leave Zhu Honggong alone for now because he had more important things to pay attention to
"Mastering! Master it! Hurry along! The traitor escaped!” Little Yuan'er started shouting.
"It's okay." Lu Zhou waved his hand. “There are other things I have to deal with.”
"Oh." Little Yuan'er looked at Zhu Honggong who disappeared back in the forest regretfully.
Lu Zhou was about to go to the Green Jade Altar when the cultivator chasing Zhu Honggong earlier called out, "Grandmaster!"
Lu Zhou turned to look. "That's you?"
A man stood near the battle. An atmosphere of arrogance radiated from his body as he stood unaffected by the chaos that was unraveling around him. The man was none other than Duan Xing, the third seat of the Fiend Temple. Lu Zhou had previously met him at the Runan holy altar. It was strange to see two individuals from the Fiend Path in the Green Jade Altar. They seem out of place.
“Greetings, grandmaster. It's me, Junior Duan Xing.” As Duan Xing chased after Zhu Honggong, he saw Bi An and a golden cage flashing in the air. He recognized the old man. With the Buddhist grandmaster around, he had no choice but to give up on his pursuit.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard calmly. “The Temple of Fiend always goes against the Noble Path, they are like fire and water. Why are you here?"
Duan Xing replied respectfully, “My temple master has ordered us to come here because he and Sect Master Zhang are discussing ways to defeat the criminals. I'm just here to accompany him.” After he finished speaking, he looked left and right before continuing saying, "I don't expect to see you here, grandmaster."
Lu Zhou waved his hand. He saw the battle going on. Looks like it's almost over. The opposition was pushed back.
"What's going on here?" Lu Zhou asked.
Lu Zhou nodded. 'There was no way Old Eighth could come up with a plan like this. No need to guess. Old Seventh, Si Wuya, must be behind this.'
Lu Zhou looked at the cultivators who were still fighting. Based on their aura and cultivation methods, indeed, there seemed to be many cultivators from the Noble Path fighting amongst themselves.
Duan Xing spoke again, “Why don't you take down the Evil King in one strike, grandmaster? If we can catch him, the name of my temple will be cleared!”
"Remove your name?" Lu Zhou asked indifferently.
“Fiend Temple belongs to Fiend Road. Now that we collude with the True Sect, we will definitely become a laughingstock for others. If we can capture the Evil King, it will be an incredible achievement! The attention of the Noble Way will also be on the Evil King at that time.”
Lu Zhou's expression was neutral. His emotions are illegible. He stroked his beard and said, “Good plan. A member of the Fiend Path caught another member of the Fiend Path. The thief cried, 'The thief!'. Fascinating."
Duan Xing felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lu Zhou words. He scratched his head and said, “Grandmaster, Evil Sky Pavilion has killed our second seat in the past. We only retaliated by capturing the Evil King. I don't think we're like weeping thieves, 'Stolen!'.”
Little Yuan'er put his hand on his hip and said, "You're a thief!"
If any other cultivator humiliated Duan Xing this way, he would jump in anger. However, with the grandmaster here, it would be unwise for him to behave like that. The only thing he could do was laugh awkwardly and say, "You're right, you're right ..." He was a wise man and not as disgusting as those hypocrites. After a while, he asked, "What brings you to the Green Jade Altar, the grandmaster?"
"Where is Hua Wudao?" Lu Zhou asked calmly.
“Hua Wudao? Sect Elder Yun? Is she here?" Duan Xing looked surprised.
"The Fiend Temple doesn't know about this?"
“I only accompany my temple teacher. I wasn't told about this, ” Duan Xing replied.
Lu Zhou looked up at the Green Jade Altar and said, "Are they all up there?"
Duan Xing shook his head and said, "When the Evil King caused a disturbance, my temple teacher left."
Lu Zhou shook his head. 'The bastard has ruined my plan.' He waved his hand, and Bi An flew towards the Green Jade Altar.
…
Meanwhile, in the corner of the forest around the Green Jade Altar.
Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, slumped to the ground. He continued to wipe the sweat off his face. He was panting as fear lingered in his heart. A gloomy expression could be seen on his face when he finally calmed down. He wondered aloud, “Why is the master here ?! I didn't sign up for this! Seventh Senior Brother, show yourself! ”
Old Seventh, Si Wuya, walked slowly from the dense forest. He shook his head and said, “This is unexpected. I don't think master will appear on the Green Jade Altar either. ”
"I don't care. This is your plan! I want compensation!” Zhu Honggong straightened his arm and extended his hand as if demanding something to give to him.
Si Wuya smiled. He put his palms together and said, “Alright, alright. Darknet will cover Tiger Ridge's expenses for a year.”
“It's more like that.” Zhu Honggong felt much better now. He scratched his head and said, "Seventh Brother, we've gone through a lot of trouble to make this plan, but for what?"
