Chapter 327 Pursuing the Rascals

Si Wuya did not understand. However, when he saw that Yu Shangrong appeared indifferent to all this and did not seem to be in a good mood, he did not press on with his questions.

Yu Shangrong was also clearly moving at a much higher speed compared to before.

They sped past the trees.

After Lu Zhou voiced out his suspicions that something was amiss, he suddenly remembered that his item cards were all in cooldown.

‘Awkward.’ He had been chasing after them for so long, and yet, he had completely forgotten about this. Moreover, he had also depleted the extraordinary power from the Heavenly Writing earlier. He was too caught up in the situation. Was he not just asking for it if he chased his disciples while he was completely defenseless?

Lu Zhou stood on Whitzard’s back as he looked at the item cards on the system dashboard. There were about five days left of the cooldown. “Whitzard… Are my disciples, Zhao Yue and Mingshi Yin, in danger?”

Whitzard gave a strange cry.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “It’s good that you understand me.”

Lu Zhou was just about to turn back and return when a black flying chariot flew past him…

The flying chariot was not quick. Instead, it was moving at a leisurely pace as though the people onboard were enjoying the scenery.

The waves of the Primal Qi were not smooth. The flying chariot seemed to be damaged. Judging by its route, the flying chariot seemed to have come from Rubei City. There were no other human cities in the area. What was a flying chariot doing here? Lu Zhou was puzzled. This place was far removed from any human settlements. Further north, there was nothing but mountains and forests. Usually, human cultivators would not wander out of the cities or sects. When they ventured into the forest, they risked running into some terrifying beasts. Even if they came in here to tame a mount, there was no need for a flying chariot. This was unconventional.

Lu Zhou steered Whitzard toward the flying chariot. He wanted to see to whom this flying chariot belonged. When he was near the flying chariot, he heard conversations from within.

“You slackers! Advance at full force!”

“Sect master, we can’t! The energy blast earlier has damaged much of the flying chariot’s Formation veins.”

“Sect master, why don’t we ditch the flying chariot and flee? If your plan fails, we’re done for!”

Based on the conversation, it was clear these people had fled from Rubei City.

As the saying went, ‘Enemies on a narrow road’.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhou was currently powerless to do anything against them.

‘Forget it. Consider yourselves lucky.’

Lu Zhou was just about to leave when a black figure emerged from the black chariot.

“Who’s there?!” The figure shot out at lightning speed toward Lu Zhou. ‘This is… Dao Invisibility. It’s an elite!’ Lu Zhou frowned. ‘Whitzard, you’ll have to do more than support me now.’

However, when the black figure approached and was about to attack, he saw his target. ‘Auspicious Qi? Whitzard?’ He looked at the old man on top of the beast again. ‘Old Villain Ji?!’

Bam!

The black figure struck at thin air and forcibly stopped his attack. He rode on the backlash and somersaulted before he kneeled in the air. “Greetings, old senior! This is all a big misunderstanding!”

Lu Zhou’s expression was calm. He looked at the face of this black figure and said, “Duan Xing?”

It was the Fiend Temple’s Third Seat, Duan Xing.

Ever since the Fiend Temple Master, Ren Buping, died in the battle against the Ten Shamans at Tangzi Town, Duan Xing was selected as the new sect master. Their paths did not cross since that incident. And yet, here they were now.

Duan Xing awkwardly said, “Old senior… Aren’t you in Rubei City? What… what brings you here?” He immediately regretted asking that question.

Was it not obvious? Look at the mount Lu Zhouwas riding on! Compared to their dilapidated flying chariot that was threatening to crash, he was truly outclassed.

“You’re asking me?” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and replied with a question. “No, no, no, I dare not!” Duan Xing hastily replied.

“Where are you going?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Well…” Duan Xing said hesitantly, “To watch the show.”

“Watch the show?”

“Old senior… It’s only natural that you’re unaware of this.” Duan Xing shook his head. “Your first and second disciples have agreed to battle on Cloud Shine Peak. Not many know about this. It’s truly a shame if we don’t watch a battle between such elites. Hence, we mustered up our courage to go and have a look.”

“You’re saying that the rascals, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, are going to fight it out on Cloud Shine Peak?” Lu Zhou asked.

“That’s right.” Lu Zhou’s gaze fell on Duan Xing’s flying chariot. Clearly, Duan Xing knew many things that happened inside Rubei City. Was it a coincidence? He did not think so.

The blooming of the blue lotus in Rubei City had affected Duan Xing’s flying chariot. This meant Duan Xing was nearby at that time. Who was Duan Xing pursuing? There was no reason for Duan Xing to flee in this direction.

Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “Duan Xing.”

“Yes, senior.” “Don’t try to play tricks with me,” Lu Zhou said. ‘You aren’t fit to witness a battle of this level.’

“I dare not!” Duan Xing broke out in cold sweat at once. His fingers shook as he honestly said, “To tell you the truth, senior, I knew you’re in Rubei City and witnessed you unleash your great power earlier…”

“Why?” Lu Zhou asked.

Duan Xing shook his head and said with a sigh, “The Fiend Temple is but a pale remnant of what it once was. My comrades need to survive as well. Alas… the Nether Sect isn’t giving us any chance. They want to wipe us out! I intended to visit you at the Evil Sky Pavilion, old senior, but you weren’t there. After making several detours, we came to Rubei.”

This explanation was reasonable.

Duan Xing continued to say, “The flying chariot is damaged. I have been running after you, old senior, in fear of missing you!” When he remembered what had nearly happened earlier, he hastily added, “What happened earlier is an honest misunderstanding. I thought someone was trying to ambush us.” After saying that, he thought to himself, ‘You’re riding Whitzard after all. No matter how slow the beast is, it can’t be slower than this lousy flying chariot! I’m surprised we even caught up to you. That really frightened me to death.’

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “Accompany me to Cloud Shine Peak.”

Duan Xing was overjoyed. He hastily bowed and said, “Of course, old senior… This is my first time riding the legendary mount, Whitzard!” As he spoke, he prepared to hop on Whitzard’s back.

“Scram,” Lu Zhou said.

Duan Xing was taken aback.

“Look around you, look at the rivers and mountains. It would be such a waste not to enjoy the beautiful scenery, don’t you think?” Lu Zhou steered Whitzard toward the flying chariot.

Duan Xing hastily said, “I get it now! This way, old senior!” He quickly boarded the flying chariot.

“Quit slacking off! What are you daydreaming about? Come and greet the old senior!” Duan Xing said.

The Fiend Temple’s disciples bowed. They did not even dare to breathe heavily.

Lu Zhou landed on the flying chariot. With a wave of his arm, Whitzard left.

“Have a seat, old senior! This flying chariot isn’t the best. It won’t fly like the wind. I hope you don’t mind.”

“That’s alright…” Lu Zhou waved his hand and sat down. He stroked his beard and said, “It’s good to take it slow.” At the same time, he glanced at the time on the dashboard. There was no need for him to rush things at the moment.

The flying chariot sailed slowly as if it was in a drunken stupor toward the setting sun.
