Chapter 1467 - Old Man (1)
Chapter 1467 Old Man (1)
From what Lu Zhou knew, there were not many people who knew this poem. Including Ji Tiandao, there were no more than two people who knew this poem. How could he not be shocked when the barbaric man recited the poem in the Unknown Land?
Lu Zhou looked at the man standing on Tulu’s back and asked, “Where did you learn this poem?”
The man replied with a smile, “That’s not important. I only obey my orders.”
“This poem is about my disciples,” Lu Zhou said.
In Lu Zhou’s impression, there shouldn’t be many people who knew this poem, and Ji Tiandao was only two people. The poem alluded to the names of his disciples, after all. To be able to hear a barbarian-like cultivator reciting this poem in the vicinity of an unknown place really surprised Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou raised his head and looked at the cultivator standing behind the soil strand. He said, “Where did you learn this poem?”
The cultivator said with a smile, “It’s not important. I only obey orders.”
“This poem speaks of my disciple,” Lu Zhou said indifferently.
Without any prompt, Lu Zhou’s disciples spoke up one after another.
Yu Zhenghai was the first to say, “Yu Zhenghai.”
“Yu Shangrong.” Yu Shangrong followed closely behind.
“Duanmu Sheng.”
As Lu Zhou’s disciples stated their names one after another, the man on Tulu’s back looked surprised. Then, he interrupted their introductions and said, “Enough, enough. I have to say, this is rather interesting.” “What’s so interesting?” Mingshi Yin asked.
“It doesn’t matter,” the man said, “Whether the poem alludes to your names or not doesn’t matter. It’s enough as long as it’s the right person. Everyone, please,” the man said before he turned and flew toward Zuo’e’s Pillar of Apocalypse.
Lu Zhou said to the others, “Follow me.”
Before Lu Zhou could fly away, Duanmu Dian stopped him and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of traps?”
“Think about it. With the Great Void’s pretentious ways of doing things, if they were guarding this pillar, would they go through so much trouble?” Lu Zhou asked.
“You’re right.”
Then, Lu Zhou took the lead and flew after the group of Tulus while the others followed closely behind.
The man on the Tulu’s back led the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion and circled the grassland thrice before he explained, “This grassland doesn’t seem threatening, but in fact, there’s a large-scale illusory formation here. In order to safely enter the pillar, we have to circle the grassland thrice.”
After becoming a Saint, Lu Zhou became more sensitive to formations. He had long sensed the formation when they arrived near Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction. If the man did not recite the poem, ‘The bright moon shines over the sea; from far away we share this moment together’, he would have suspected that everything was a trap.
When they finally arrived at the entrance of Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction, they saw ten white-clad cultivators standing in a row. Their robes, capes, bamboo hats, and boots were all white; only their hair was black.
Upon seeing these white-clad cultivators, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion turned around in unison to look at Ye Tianxin before they looked back at the white-clad cultivators.
“I feel like Sixth Senior Sister might be recognized by Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction,” Little Yuan’er said in a low voice.
Ye Tianxin smiled and did not say anything. She had already been recognized by Xieqia’s Pillar of Destruction, after all. It was impossible for Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction to recognize her. They had already verified that there was a certain degree of repulsion between the ten Pillars of Destruction.
Everyone wondered who Zou’e’s Pillar of Destruction would recognize.
At this moment, Duanmu Dian moved to Lu Zhou’s side and said in a low voice, “These are the White Emperor’s men.”
“The White Emperor?” Lu Zhou frowned.
“Rumor has it that after the land split, the White Emperor went to the Endless Ocean after severing his ties with the Great Void. I didn’t expect his men to be in the Unknown Land. This isn’t a good sign.” “I think this is a good sign,” Lu Zhou calmly said, “This shows that not all experts are in the Great Void.”
Experts not from the Great Void, whether they were friends or foes, would serve to check and balance many forces, not just the Great Void.
Duanmu Dian said with a frown, “I have to report this to the Great Void. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Hm?” Lu Zhou’s expression stiffened before he turned to look at Duanmu Dian with an expression that seemed to ask, ‘You dare to leave?’
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Dian said, “Old Lu, your expression makes me sad. You weren’t like this in the past.”
“The past is the past; now is the present,” Lu Zhou replied, “You’re the first Great Saint of the Evil Sky Pavilion. You have to understand your current position.”

Duanmu Dian knew he could not get out of this trap.
At this time, Duanmu Sheng moved next to Duanmu Dian before he nudged Duanmu Dian and said, “Listen to master.”
“???”
Duanmu Dian asked in a deep voice, “Are you trying to teach how to do things?” There was no such thing as a junior teaching his or her ancestor how to do things.
Duanmu Sheng replied insincerely, “I don’t dare.”
“Kid, you’re a descendant of my Duanmu clan. You should be on my side,” Duanmu Dian said in a low voice, “If I’m satisfied, I might teach you a few more powerful cultivation methods.”
“My master has already taught me the most powerful cultivation method,” Duanmu Sheng said.
“The Duanmu clansmen all have amazing physiques. If you cultivate a few special cultivation methods, they can even help you heal your injuries in a very short time,” Duanmu Dian said.
Duanmu Sheng replied expressionlessly, “My master taught me the Divine One Technique, and it already has this healing effect.”
Duanmu Dian frowned as he continued to say, “I can help you become a Venerable Master.”
“I already have the strength of a Venerable Master,” Duanmu Sheng replied with a straight face.
Duanmu Dian was speechless.
Then, Duanmu Sheng continued to say tonelessly, “Moreover, I also have the Great Void Seed and the corrosive energy. Lu Wu said that with these, I’ll definitely become a supreme being in the future.”
Duanmu Dian wanted to continue speaking but decided it would be futile in the end. He came to Lu Zhou’s side and nudged Lu Zhou with his elbow before he asked, “Old Lu, I’m very curious. How did you manage to bewitch that kid to this extent?”.
“What do you mean by ‘bewitch’?” Lu Zhou furrowed his brows.
“You know what I mean,” Duanmu Dian said.
