Chapter 895: 895

Not only did Lu Zhou fail to intervene, but he even destroyed the table in the Literary Star Hall.

He frowned slightly.

In fact, it was already good enough that the Heavenly Writing Power allowed him to see and hear beyond what was normal. Based on his understanding, if he relied on the extraordinary power, the range of his hearing and sight would not be so miraculous and would be limited. The power of sight and the power of hearing he had now were all thanks to the Heavenly Writing.

Lu Zhou maintained the Heavenly Writing Power and continued to watch.

When the figure was a few meters away from Zhu Honggong, he manifested his avatar.

A yellow six-leaf lotus!

“Hm?” Due to the slight difference between the color gold and yellow, Lu Zhou had yet to notice yellow lotus. At this time, he only felt that the Six-leaf cultivator was truly bold to launch a sneak attack on Zhu Honggong.

Boom!

Zhu Honggong manifested his avatar and sent the figure flying and spitting out blood in the air. Following that, he tapped his toes on the ground gently and rose into the sky. The chubby Zhu Honggong looked as nimble as a swallow and as swift as the wind at this moment. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived, with his avatar in tow, in front of the person who attacked him.

The 140-foot avatar with no lotus appeared in front of the crowd again. They looked at Zhu Honggong reverently as they chanted in unison.

“Our sect leader is so powerful that he can rule the world!”

Meanwhile, this was not Lu Li’s first time seeing Zhu Honggong’s avatar. However, it was only at this moment that he realized… that Zhu Honggong’s avatar had no lotus?

Lu Zhou looked at the cultivator who was sent flying and looked at his lotus. He finally discovered the yellow lotus…

He stopped observing and fell deep into his thoughts. At the same time, he sensed he still had half of the supreme mystic power. After observing for such a long time, there was still so much supreme mystic power left. Indeed, it was much more powerful than the extraordinary power.

“Old Eighth and Lu Li are using methods from the Black Tower Council?” Lu Zhou nodded as he muttered to himself, “It should be fine…”

Lu Zhou had a good impression of Lu Li. If it were the methods of someone like Yi Yao, it would be difficult for him to accept them.

Everything in the world was part of the food chain. While humans fought among themselves, they were unaware that in the eyes of the heavens, they were not even comparable to ants.

After a moment, Lu Zhou’s thoughts began to stray again when he recalled the merit points he had just obtained.

“Should I continue to draw?”

However, based on his understanding of the lucky draw, the probability of drawing another Deadly Strike Card was very low.

Merit points: 43,320

After mulling over it for a moment, Lu Zhou decided to purchase the Deadly Strike Card instead. When he saw the price did not go up, his mood improved considerably.

Following that, he brought out the Synthesis Card.

“Please place the Synthesis Card together with the cards you want to synthesize.”

After taking out his three Deadly Strike Cards, he put the four cards together.

“Would you like to synthesize the cards?”

“Synthesize.”

“Ding! Synthesis completed. Obtained: Enhanced Deadly Strike Card.”

“Enhanced Deadly Strike Card will grant you indescribable power. You can choose between two effects; you can choose to deal a fatal strike to the real body of a person with less than 8 Birth Charts or you can choose to deal a fatal strike to five ordinary targets.”

Lu Zhou nodded. The difference between the ordinary and enhanced Deadly Strike Cards was quite large. He could choose between two options. The first one directly attacked the real body of his target so he might not be given a Birth Chart bonus. The second one was like turning three Deadly Strike Cards into five Deadly Strike Cards. It was a bargain, but he did not feel like it was a huge bargain. It would have been better if he could take out eight instead of five targets.

Nevertheless, it was better than nothing.

Lu Zhou put away the rudimentary enhanced Deadly Strike Card before he thought about Zhu Honggong again. “I hope Lu Li doesn’t disappoint me… However, if they want to stay in the yellow lotus domain, then I’ll let them be…”

After a while, he recalled Yi Yao’s words. “What kind of force is the Black Tower Council?”

There was almost no doubt now that the Black Tower Council was monopolizing all the Birth Chart Beasts in the red lotus domain. Indeed, the Black Lotus Council was unlikely to kill the people of the red lotus domain to maintain the long-term supply of Birth Chart Beasts. It was likely that every time a Nine-leaf cultivator appeared, the Black Tower Council would observe them. When they sprouted the tenth leaf, the Black Tower Council would then set their sights on whichever Birth Chart Beast that appeared.

If it was like this, then there was no doubt the golden lotus domain would be in a similar predicament as well in the future.

Previously, Lu Zhou had also been slightly worried when this thought occurred to him.

In the end, Lu Zhou decided to use the Heavenly Writing Power to observe Great Yan since he now had the supreme mystic power. He closed his eyes and silently chanted the mantra for the Heavenly Writing Power.

His eyes shone with a blue light before scenes appeared in front of his eyes.

In Great Yan’s Imperial palace.

Zhao Yue was sitting at her desk, looking through scrolls.

At this moment, Princess Yong Ning walked in and said with a smile, “Sister Zhao Yue, don’t overwork yourself.”

Zhao Yue replied, “I’m fine. I’m a cultivator, after all…”

“What about your sister?” Yongning asked.

“She only comes here once in a while,” Zhao Yue replied.

Lu Zhou was confused. Since when did Zhao Yue have a sister? Moreover, based on Zhao Yue’s expression and tone, it seemed like she had a good relationship with her so-called sister.

“Well, it can’t be helped. The future of Great Yan depends on Sister Zhao Yue…” Yong Ning said with a sigh.

Zhao Yue smiled and said, “Junior Sister Tianxin plays a huge role as well.”

Yongning nodded. “Mr. Sixth is like the guardian of the Divine Capital and the nine provinces… Apart from that, cultivators often send food to Cheng Huang as well.”

“This is a case of a just cause attracting people’s help and support.”

“Why don’t you become the Empress? You’re a member of the Imperial family royal family anyway,” Yong Ning asked with a smile.

“That won’t do… I have no thoughts about the throne. When master returns, I’ll select someone to take over,” Zhao Yue said with a sigh, “My cultivation progress is slow. If I don’t work hard, master might have an opinion about it.”

…

Lu Zhou cut the Heavenly Writing Power off.

“Who’s the sister Zhao Yue mentioned?”

After a while, he thought about Ye Tianxin. This disciple had gone through a lot since she was young. Now, she had finally grown strong enough to help him.

It was possible that the Black Tower Council was already keeping an eye on Ye Tianxin.

All of a sudden, a thought appeared in his mind. “That’s right! There’s Cheng Huang! It can give one 2,000 years of life. Doesn’t this mean Cheng Huang is a Birth Chart Beast?”

Lu Zhou immediately closed his eyes again and mobilized the Heavenly Writing Power.

Ye Tianxin appeared in front of his eyes. She stood in the Evil Sky Pavilion, overlooking the mountains.

Lu Zhou looked at Cheng Huang.

Cheng Huang’s body had shrunk a lot.

“Is it possible that Cheng Huang was somehow aware of the existence of the Black Tower Council so it deliberately parted with a part of its heart so that it wouldn’t be discovered?”

This was highly possible. Everything made sense now.

“Cheng Huang is really clever,” Lu Zhou said to himself as he cut off the Heavenly Writing Power again.

This would explain why Cheng Huang hid in the depths of Moonlight Woodland and did not appear in the cities.

Nevertheless, Ye Tianxin had already reached the Nine-leaf stage and had also obtained the karmic fire. Moreover, she also had the Great Void Seed in her. If she continued to cultivate, it would not be long before she sprouted the tenth leaf.

the moonlight forest at the beginning and did not appear in human cities.

“Black Tower Council,” Lu Zhou muttered to himself again as he fell deep into his thoughts.

At this comment…

Si Wuya’s voice rang from outside.

“Disciple greets master.”

“Come in.” Lu Zhou dismissed his thoughts for now and looked outside the hall.

Si Wuya walked in with the goatskin map in his hands while Li Yunzheng trailed behind him in a respectful manner.

“Greetings, grandmaster,” Li Yunzheng said.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “Just tell me what you want.”

Si Wuya bowed and said, “Master. the matters in the Sky Martial Court have mostly been dealt with. There are 35 people in the Sky Research Court, and they’ve agreed to obey the new rules. Without rules, there will be no order, and nothing will get done.”

“These people are not easy to deal with. How did a young man like you convince them? You must have expended a lot of effort, right?” Lu Zhou asked curiously.

“Not really. I only told them that master appreciates people who know how to adapt to the situation the most.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s all.” Si Wuya added. “However, I wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed each of them a copy.”

Lu Zhou:”…”

Sometimes the saying, ‘It’s better to win the heart of the people than to capture the city’, could be applied in an unexpected way as well.

Si Wuya continued to say, “There’s another thing. In my opinion, it’s time for us to enter the palace.”

“Enter the palace?”

“The four Grand Dukes have agreed to support Li Yunzheng regain authority over Great Tang,” Si Wuya said.

Lu Zhou shifted his eyes to Li Yunzheng and asked, “Are you ready?”

Li Yunzheng bowed before he replied, “Granddisciple is ready. Teacher and I have discussed this matter for a few nights. It seems like we’ll still need your support, grandmaster.”
