Chapter 1730: Getting Rid of a Traitor (1)

Jiang Aijian did not live in vain all these years. Having died once, he had his own means to survive. He was born and raised in Great Yans imperial palace, a place like the cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, so no one knew the rules of survival better than he did. He was adept at dealing with all kinds of complicated problems, and as long as he did not act recklessly, it would be very difficult to kill him.

Jiang Aijian knew the effect of the Hourgla.s.s of Time. With the help of Bai Zhaoju, if he was able to activate the Hourgla.s.s of Time, it should not be difficult to solve the problem in front of him. However, he did not expect the Hourgla.s.s of Time to fly out of control. It was clearly different from when he used it previously. The power that shrouded the Hourgla.s.s of Time now clearly did not belong to him.

The faint blue electric arcs covered the entire place at an incomprehensible speed when Jiang Aijian instinctively raised his head. He saw a figure appear above everyone before everything froze. Before he was frozen, he thought that someone had appeared and taken control of everything.

The seawater froze.

Hua Zhenghong, Xi Zhong, and the ten Templars froze.

Bai Zhaoju, who had the highest cultivation among the people present, also struggled with the tyrannical power of the electric arcs.

The law of time was undoubtedly one of the most powerful laws to exist.

The figure in the sky slowly descended before the Hourgla.s.s of Time flew into his hand.

Then, an incomparable huge blue lightning bolt struck, capturing everyone in place.

Following that, the figure appeared in front of Hua Zhenghong and launched a palm seal that accurately struck her chest.

Bang!

If Hua Zhenghong was conscious, perhaps, she would feel as though her soul was going to be removed from her body when the palm seal struck her.

Lu Zhou put away the Hourgla.s.s of Time. It could not be used indefinitely, and it was not enough to deal with all these people alone.

Time resumed.

Splas.h.!.+

Hua Zhenghong fell into the sea.

Bai Zhaoju, Jiang Aijian, Xi Zhong, and the Templars instinctively looked down at the sea in surprise and confusion.

Blood dyed the surface of the sea red in just a moment.

Hua Zhenghongs mind went blank as a sharp pain a.s.saulted her. She had no idea what had happened. One moment, she was still in the sky, and the next, she had fallen into the cold sea. She did not know how far she had sunk. She looked at the light that was getting further and further away before she manifested her lotus.

Buzz!

Anger flooded Hua Zhenghongs heart as she formed a conical protective energy around herself before she rushed up and broke the surface of the water.

Splas.h.!.+

When Hua Zhenghong returned to the sky, her anger had reached its peak. She still did not know who the culprit was but before the water fell back into the sea, she had already brought her astrolabe out and began to attack.

Lady Hua!

Hua Zhenghong, who was in the midst of venting her anger, did not notice that everyone was staring at the newcomer in shock and fear.

Whos so bold to attack the people of the Sacred Temple?!

Beams of light shot out of Hua Zhenghongs astrolabe.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lu Zhou flashed away, easily dodging the beams of light.

Huh?

When Hua Zhenghongs vision recovered, she briefly saw a shadow next to her from the corners of her eyes. When she turned to look, she saw a huge palm seal falling like a mountain.

Boom!

The palm seal landed on Hua Zhenghongs shoulder. She was caught off guard and sent flying. She felt as though her Eight Extraordinary Meridians were blocked. The other party had attacked her successfully twice. As she flew back, she finally had a good look at the other party.

The Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion?!

Hua Zhenghongs eyes widened, and her heart trembled.

Lady Hua!

Xi Zhong flew over and caught Hua Zhenghong.

At the same time, the ten Templars flew over and surrounded Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back. His expression remained calm as he swept his gaze across everyone. He was clearly not worried at all. His eyes were deep and spirited as he stared at Hua Zhenghong and said, You dare to touch my people?

Bai Zhaoju and Jiang Aijian, who were standing behind Lu Zhou, were overjoyed.

Jiang Aijian said, So its Senior Ji! You scared me to death!

Bai Zhaoju quickly greeted Lu Zhou and said, You came at the right time.

Hua Zhenghong pointed at Jiang Aijian and said, Youre the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, but hes not Qi Sheng. How is he yours?

If I say he is, then he is, Lu Zhou said expressionlessly.

...

Hua Zhenghong recalled Lu Zhous three moves at Cloud Domain. She was a little unwilling to face such an expert. In the depths of her heart, she thought Lu Zhou was quite similar to that person. For this reason, she had lost much of her imposing air. In the end, she still steeled her nerves and said, Pavilion Master Lu, a wise man submits to circ.u.mstances. Youve just entered the Great Void so you probably dont know much about the rules

Lu Zhou raised his hand to stop Hua Zhenghong before he said, Shut up.

Hua Zhenghong was stunned.

Lu Zhou looked at Hua Zhenghong and asked, Do you want to do it yourself or do you want me to act?

Huh? Hua Zhenghong was confused.

Destroy two light disks, and I wont hold you responsible for todays incident. The grudge between us will be settled in the future Lu Zhou said.

Only Bai Zhaoju and Jiang Aijian truly understood the meaning of Lu Zhous words. They knew Hua Zhenghong was once a proud student of the Unholy One, after all. No one knew the specifics of what happened in the past. Perhaps, now that the Unholy One had returned, the truth would come to light.

Hua Zhenghong was still trying to be civil, but upon hearing these words, she shed all pretenses and said coldly, I thought you were talented and even recommended you to the Great Emperor. Since you dont know how to appreciate favors, then theres no need for me to hold back.
