Chapter 650: Fighting Jiang Wenxu
If a cultivator could condense liquid into energy, wrap it with energy while exerting precise control over it to the point that it could kill, he was most certainly an elite among elites. Usually, cultivators would use a weapon as the core so that they could condense energy swiftly and pack the greatest power into it. With a weapon, they could create more energy seals.
For something without shape, such as wine, it was difficult to form energy. Moreover, it might even reduce the force of the energy. The only advantage it had was to raise one’s competence in condensing energy. Usually, this skill was only used to show off.
If the conical energy had moved a little closer, the outcome would have been deadly.
Although Lanhai had a high status as the most powerful person in the Bonar Family, he could not help but consider his options at this moment.
“Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Do you really think that I won’t kill you?” Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back as he rose to his feet and descended the stairs.
Upon seeing this, those from Lou Lan rose to their feet as well and bowed.
Lanhai shuddered as he said, “Old mister, I’m not refusing to give you your crystal, but the royal tutor has said that the Bonar Family will pay a heavy price if I give the crystal up.”
“Royal tutor?”
When the royal tutor was mentioned, King Angui said, “Lord Royal Tutor is Lou Lan’s benefactor. He’s held in high esteem here. Even I would have to be polite to him.”
Lu Zhou understood now. He knew who this royal tutor was. Jiang Wenxu must have been living the life everywhere he went. He wanted to become the greatest being in this world.
Lu Zhou looked at the kneeling Lanhai and said, “You’re afraid of his threat, but you’re not afraid of mine?”
“I am… but what can I do?” Lanhai replied after he gulped.
“Where is the royal tutor now?” Lu Zhou asked. The fourth reason for his visit was Jiang Wenxu. Jiang Wenxu wanted to kill him, a Nine-leaf cultivator. How was he going to do that without showing up?
Lanhai said, “I don’t know.”
Bam!
The energy seal formed by the wine morphed into a palm that struck Lanhai’s chest.
Lanhai reeled from the impact. He flew out of the hall and crashed onto the floor.
Lu Zhou stepped forward with his hands on his back and said, “The Bonar Family has taunted the Evil Sky Pavilion time and time again. I’ve yet to hold you accountable for your transgressions, but you have the audacity to seek death? In that case, I’ll fulfill your wish and treat this as your reckoning.”
The four shamans ran out and helped Lanhai to his feet.
At this moment, the witchcraft cultivator at the left side of the hall stood up and said, “Old mister, His Majesty has killed his greatest helper, General Daluo, for you. This is already a show of the utmost sincerity. Do you… will you only believe in our sincerity after killing everyone in Lou Lan?”
Lu Zhou glanced at him out of the corners of his eye. He said lightly, “Even if I massacre everyone in Lou Lan, what’s it to you?” His confidence was apparent to everyone.
The Lou Lan cultivators present trembled in fear. None of them dared to speak up.
The atmosphere was incredibly suffocating now
King Angui said, “Lanhai, please surrender the crystal for Lou Lan’s sake!”
Lanhai seemed to be in a dilemma. He said, “Your Majesty, the Bonar Family has sworn fealty to the royal city for generations. Could it be… that you’re thinking of sacrificing the entire Bonar Family as well, Your Majesty?”
Angui knew he was being ruthless. However, faced with a Nine-leaf cultivator, he had no other choice. He could not afford to gamble. His expression was resolute as he said, “I order you to surrender the crystal! Return it to the old mister!”
Pu the great Nine-leaf cultivator of Great Yan aside, Lou Lan, in its current state, was no match for Great Yan. Angui had no choice but to sacrifice an individual for the greater good. As long as green hills remain, there would be no need to worry about firewood. However, if the green hills were gone, Lou Lan would truly be done for.
Lanhai’s heart sank. He looked at his king and said, “Your Majesty, Lanni, Xien, and Bazir are dead. When has the Bonar Family ever wronged Lou Lan?”
The other four shamans looked at King Angui as well. Lanhai was right. When did the Bonar Family ever wrong Lou Lan?
“Bazir has guarded the borders for a century for Lou Lan. Everyone fearfully respected General Bazir… The people of Lou Lan know how great the Bonar Family is! Are you really going to disregard the people? How are you going to explain this to them?” Lanhai’s emotions were clearly surging.
Mingshi Yin felt speechless. After a while, he said, “What a bunch of nonsense.”
The others turned to look at Mingshi Yin who emerged from the hall. Based on what happened earlier, they knew this man was adept at stirring up trouble and finding faults. He was not an easy character to deal with. Their instincts told them that he would certainly bring trouble with him again.
“Lanni Bonar brought Tian Gou and the red coffin to the Evil Sky Pavilion, taunted my master, and ordered Tian Gou to attack my Little Junior Sister who didn’t know how to cultivate. Let me ask you, should he die?”
Lanhai could not refute these words.
“Xien Bonar and Bazir Bonar wanted to kill my Second Senior Brother when they themselves were incompetent. Is it wrong for my Second Senior Brother to defend himself? Do those two deserve to die?”
Lanhai. “…”
“Lou Lan has always been on good terms with Great Yan. The families of our monarchs are even related by marriage. Yet, your Bonar Family has invaded Great Yan several times when we were experiencing internal turmoil, and you colluded with Rouli. You’re the one who brought this upon Lou Lan. You’re the greatest sinner in Lou Lan who should be cursed for 10,000 years!”
Lanhai Bonar’s eyes widened as he took several steps backward.
The high-ranking officials present could not help but shake their heads. They continued to retreat.
Mingshi Yin said gruffly, “You won’t even listen to orders from your king. Are you trying to rebel?”
Lanhai shuddered. Shortly after, he looked to the side and smiled forlornly. “Your Majesty, you made me do this… The Bonar Family will never yield! Activate the Formation!”
Whizz!
Outside the palace hall, purple witchcraft circles flew up into the curtain-like barrier in the sky.
The other officials appeared shocked before they began to rebuke him.
“Lanhai, are you out of your mind?! Stop it at once!”
Angui frowned and said, “Are you rebelling?”
Lanhai said agitatedly, “The royal tutor has instructed the Bonar Family to defend it with our lives!”
Royal tutor?
The others exchanged a look. They were shocked. The royal tutor had been missing for many years. How was he going to support them?
Whizz!
Another purple radiant circle shot toward the sky.
The others walked out of the great hall and looked at the sky.
The Grand Witchcraft Formation, which had never been activated before, was going to be activated today.
“On this day… even a Nine-leaf cultivator will die here!” Lanhai was getting more agitated as time passed.
The sky was completely lit up at the moment.
Witchcraft permeated the royal city.
Lu Zhou stepped forward with his hands on his back.
The crowd parted for him.
Mingshi Yin took one step back.
When Lu Zhou emerged from the great hall, he raised his right arm and struck with his palm!
Buddhist Great Seal of Fearlessness!
The shining golden palm shot out.
When the five witchcraft cultivators saw this, they formed a barricade and pushed their palms out.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
One of them reeled back, bringing the remaining three down with him. They spat out blood.
The final shaman could not stop the attack. His back rammed into Lanhai’s chest, and the two of them reeled together!
Thud!
They crashed to the ground.
Lu Zhou was not pleased with the palm strike. Perhaps, he had gotten used to taking out his opponent with a single strike from his extraordinary power. Now that he was using the power from his cultivation base, he found it somewhat lacking in power.
In truth, hitting five individuals with a single palm strike and injuring all of them was already a terrifying feat.
Everyone looked at the five defeated men. They were shocked. Indeed, the legendary Nine-leaf cultivator was, indeed, terrifying!
Men were like that, often misled by appearance. Even if Lu Zhou unleashed a Two-leaf palm seal, due to his identity as a Nine-leaf cultivator, they would surely think his palm seal is terrifying.
The five men were shocked. They stared at Lu Zhou as though he was a great enemy.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said indifferently, “Since the Bonar Family has made a choice, I’ll fulfill your wishes.”
He raised his right hand again.
At this moment, several witchcraft cultivators appeared in the skies, maintaining the purple curtain in the sky.
More and more cultivators gathered.
King Angui looked up and hastily explained, “Who mobilized the royal guards?!”
At the center of the sky curtain, a figure moved swiftly into the Grand Witchcraft Formation. He was glowing with a purple aura, and his body was concealed by a purple cloak and hood. His eyes glowed faintly red, and his facial expressions were obscured by a mist.
The mysterious shaman looked down from the sky and slowly said, “The great Nine-leaf cultivator of Great Yan… How impressive.”
When the mysterious shaman spoke, the high-ranking officials of Lou Lan, Lanhai, and his four subordinates fell to one knee. With a sincere tone, they said, “Hail, Lord Royal Tutor!”
Lu Zhou looked up and studied the figure in the sky. He said tonelessly, “Jiang Wenxu, you finally showed up.”
