Invincible Teacher's
Chapter 78: Raising the Cultivation Base 01

Jiang Aijian was shocked. He looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief. His legs felt weak as his guilt weighed on his mind. After a while, he chuckled and said, “Senior Ji, what are you talking about? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Zhou said slowly, saying each word clearly, "You are from the palace." He spoke in a tone that did not cause any arguments as if he was sure of it.

Jiang Aijian's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile on his face as he said, "How is that possible ..."

Lu Zhou did not bother to answer.

Jiang Aijian is smart. There is no need to waste words when talking to someone who is smart. Jiang Aijian had found out about the plans of the monks from the Great Void Temple. He knew about the grand ceremony. He also knew Zhuo Ping was from the palace. Most importantly, when he boarded the carriage, he said someone from the palace was around. Who else was so familiar with the events on the holy altar? Who else knows about the palace scheme?

Lu Zhou sent Mingshi Yin away with Whitzard while he remained behind. The elites of the palace also remained. The elites did not dare to act recklessly because Lu Zhou's identity had been revealed. Someone had also sent him information about the female villain, Zhao Yue. Most importantly, when Jiang Aijian found out that he was the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, he was completely perplexed as his plan was interrupted, and he started to panic. All of these marks indicated that Jiang Aijian was from the palace.

"I'm always frank with my words ... You are smart so you should know what I mean," Lu Zhou said calmly.

Jiang Aijian remained silent. His silence could be considered as his confession. Long-winded will just be a waste of everyone's time. He sighed before saying, "You're very shrewd, Senior Ji."

Lu Zhou stood with his hands behind his back, remaining silent.

Jiang Aijian continued to say, “You are only half right, senior elder... Indeed, I'm from the palace, but that's the past. I left the palace a long time ago. There are too many schemes in the palace, and a person like me is not suitable for such a place and life.” He breathed again. His usual smiling face had been replaced with a serious expression. “People from the palace fight and conspire against each other most of the time, cheating on each other... Old senior, do you believe me if I tell you this?” He didn't think the old criminal would believe his words.

"I have my own thoughts on this," Lu Zhou replied ambiguously.

Jiang Aijian shook his head helplessly and said, “For each of his own, I guess. I love the outside world where I am free and unfettered. However, my friends prefer to stay in the palace. Every time we meet for drinks, they will share what they know about the palace with me.”

Jiang Aijian's words made sense. Otherwise, there was no way a rogue cultivator like him would have known the secrets of the palace plan. After a while, he said regretfully, “Okay, it is too late for some of my friends to leave the palace now. Some of them have even died.”

Lu Zhou said, "Their lives have nothing to do with me."

Jiang Aijian nodded. Thas right. Human relations in the palace were extremely complicated compared to the outside world. He took a deep breath before asking carefully, "Old senior Senior, because you know about my identity ... Can we cancel our previous agreement?"

Jiang Aijian loved his life very much. He was very careful when asking this question because he was not sure if the always calm Lu Zhou would attack him.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said indifferently, "You can try."

"..." - ".Jiang Aijian was silent. 'I don't think I'll ever get off this pirate ship.' He said, "Will I be safe if people find out about this?"

Lu Zhou said, "I don't care about that." Inwardly, he thought to himself, 'I don't think there's any need to worry about your safety because you value your life so much.'

Lu Zhou turned to Jiang Aijian and said, "As long as you don't work against the Evil Sky Pavilion, I won't interfere with anything you do." He was, of course, lenient towards those who were talented. He added, "Since you're from the palace, I'm sure you understand the Evil Sky Pavilion and the way we work."

Jiang Aijian nodded. He sighed and said, “Alright.. About the sword you promised me, old senior.”.

"I'll give it to you."

Jiang Aijian hugged his sword and said. "That's the deal then!"

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He flicked his sleeve lightly before his mount, Bi An, rushed forward. Before he jumped onto Bi An's back, he said, "I don't care about the affairs of the palace, but they better not drag the Evil Sky Pavilion into their schemes and enmities."

Little Yuan'er pulled Jiang Aijian's face before he jumped towards Bi An as well.

Jiang Aijian cupped his hands together and said nothing more.

Bi An rose into the air before rushing towards the Evil Sky Pavilion.

As soon as Lu Zhou left, Jiang Aijian slumped to the ground. He was really surprised that the old criminal did not urge him about the matters in the palace. Lfs nice. After all, there were many things about the palace that he did not dare to voice.

…

Little Yuan'er asked in a small voice, "Master, aren't we going to the Divine Capital?"

Lu Zhou admonished him gently, "Little girl, all you think about is playing."

Little Yuan pouted and said, "Master, we should not trust Jiang Aijian."

"I know."

Little Yuan'er kept saying, “He has worked for the palace. Why is he your informant?”

"Enough." Lu Zhou tapped his knuckles onto Little Yuan'er's head. However, inwardly he was happy that he thought of such things. It's much better than before.

…

Meanwhile, at Tiger Ridge headquarters.

The person sitting on the throne was not Evil King Zhu Honggong, whose name inspired fear, but the head of the Darknet sect, Wuya.

“Seventh Senior Brother, your information network covers the whole country, and your information is always reliable. However, don't you think there's something wrong with the information regarding the events on the holy altar? Kong Xuan from the Great Void Temple was merely a realm of the Four Leaves Newly Born Tribulation Tribulation. Was he really able to take Zhao Yue away with so many people from the Noble and Demonic Path? I feel it is impossible, ” Zhu Honggong said.

Si Wuya said indifferently, “Kong Xuan didn't take Zhao Yue away. He was killed by a senior Buddhist monk.

“Kong Xuan is dead? Impossible!" Zhu Honggong exclaimed in shock.

“My format is always trustworthy. The bald donkey from the Great Void Temple activated Brahman Lullaby, blocking my men from advancing, so they could only observe from afar. However, based on what they saw, there was no doubt that only a senior monk was capable of making hand seals for the Great Vajra Wheel!”

“It is ironic that Kong Xuan was killed by one of his own kind.” Zhu Honggong scratched his head.

As the two continued their discussion, a cultivator rushed in and knelt down before he said, “Report to the cult master. The Weird Sword Chen Wenjie had been killed by Senior Demon Sword. ”

"Good." Si Wuya did not seem surprised, but Zhu Honggong was stunned.

"Salt master, I have another report."

"Speak."

"Ren Buping, Master of Fiend Temple Master, has come out of seclusion!"

Si Wuya immediately stood up. “A breakthrough?”

"I don't know!"

"Did the Fiend Temple move?"

"Not for now."

"Tell me immediately if they make a move."

"Understood!"
