In the runic passage, the four men’s blood-red robes finally reverted to their original gray color.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou asked, “Is everyone in the congregation skilled in witchcraft?”

Those people must have believed in the Unholy One due to his unorthodox cultivation path.

Based on the unusual blood disk earlier, it stood to reason the other cultivators in the congregation should also practice unorthodox methods.

One of the men answered timidly, “Cult Leader Du is the only one who’s really skilled in blood witchcraft. The others are skilled in white and black witchcraft.”

Lu Zhou nodded and asked again, “Are their cultivation similar to Cult Leader Du?”

“Yes. There are four cult leaders, including Cult Leader Du, in charge of a major division each in the ancient ruins. However, the Cult Master has been in seclusion for many years, and we’ve never seen him.”

Lu Zhou asked again, “What other abnormal cultivators are in the congregation?”

Thud!

One of them fell to their knees and cried out, “Great Unholy One! We’re all your believers! We’re not abnormal cultivators!”

“…”

The fledgling blood shaman in front of Lu Zhou truly had lost all his demeanor as a blood shaman at this moment.

…

When the light from the runic passage disappeared, Lu Zhou found himself in a dark forest.

Although this place was still in the Great Void, it was very different from what the Great Void looked like. Considering how vast the Great Void was, it was not surprising that places like this existed.

One of the men standing on the left said respectfully, “My lord, we’ve arrived.”

Lu Zhou nodded and walked out of the runic passage with his hands on his back.

The four men did not dare to be negligent and hurried after Lu Zhou.

Outside of the forest, dilapidated city walls, ancient and abandoned buildings and towers, and huge boulders could be seen.

A stone table that was erected nearby was carved with these words: Ancient ruins. Do not trespass!

“This is the entrance to the ancient ruins. The congregation has been based here since 100,000 years ago. Members only leave this place when they have a mission.”

There were almost no humans near the ancient ruins. It was like a desolate and deserted land. Due to the dangers of terrifying ancient formations and fierce beasts, cultivators would not easily step foot in this place.

“Lead the way.”

At this time, the fear in the four men’s hearts had already been replaced with excitement and reverence.

“It’s our honor that the Unholy One visits the congregation. Let me lead the way!”

Lu Zhou looked at the man who looked as though he was about to cry from excitement and joy. It was rather difficult to tell if the man was sincere or not.

The four blood shamans flew up, leading the way.

After they entered the ancient ruins, Lu Zhou saw many dilapidated ancient buildings, ancient battle chariots, and weapons. There were also weathered skeletons lying on the ground. It was clearly an ancient battlefield.

They flew at top speed, flying for thousands of miles in just an hour.

During the journey, Lu Zhou saw many old buildings and the land that was riddled with holes.

“It’s just ahead.”

They came to a stop and looked at a few ancient buildings that were clearly taller than the surrounding buildings.

“My lord, our congregation has mended and tidied up these ancient buildings in the ruins. We treat this place as our home. Please don’t disdain it,” the person next to Lu Zhou said.

Lu Zho nodded slightly and leaped into the sky.

The four blood shamans looked at him in confusion. They did not know what he was going to do so they only watched him. They did not dare to leave without his permission. Faced with a supreme being, one had to be mindful of the law of time. Otherwise, one would suffer. The best way to protect their lives was to be obedient!

Lu Zhou flew 30,000 feet up before he looked down at the land.

The ancient battlefield stretched as far as the eyes could see. It was like a wasteland filled with rundown structures and white bones.

“What happened here?” Lu Zhou muttered to himself, puzzled. He looked around for a long time but did not see anything strange. Finally, he returned to the four blood shamans.

The four blood shamans stood in their original positions. When they saw Lu Zhou had returned, they said piously, “Welcome back, Honorable Lord!”

Then, one of them said, “My lord, please wait for a moment. I’ll inform Cult Leader Zhou about your arrival so he can personally welcome you.”

‘With the arrival of the Unholy One, even if the cult leader died, he still has to crawl out of his coffin and kneel on behalf of the congregation to welcome the Unholy One!’

Lu Zhou only nodded.

…

One of the blood shaman flew past the ancient city wall and an extremely large ancient building. The building was so large that humans looked like ants next to it.

At this time, a dignified voice rang out.

“Cult Leader Du, you’ve returned?”

The blood shaman came to a stop and looked up.

In the horizon, about 100 cultivators flew over at a constant speed. A few cultivators in the middle carried a palanquin.

The blood shaman bowed and greeted, “Greetings, Cult Leader Zhou!”

Cult Leader Zhou raised his hand slightly, and the cultivators came to a halt. He looked down at the blood shaman and asked in confusion, “Cult Leader Du didn’t return?”

There are four cult leaders in the Nihilist Congregation that led the north, south, east, and west divisions. They were Cult Leaders Zhou, Du, Chu, and Yan. Among them, Cult Leader Zhu had the highest status.

“This…” the blood shaman stammered.

“Hmm?”

The blood shaman naturally did not know how to say that Cult Leader Du had died. Hence, he quickly said, “Cult Leader Zhou, we have a very important guest visiting today! He’s just over there!”

Cult Leader Zhou frowned slightly. “A very important guest?”

A cultivator next to the palanquin said sternly, “What’s the punishment for bringing outsiders into the ruins?”

The blood shaman had already expected this so he hastily said, “Cult Leader Zhou, this distinguished guest is someone worshiped by our entire congregation. He’s the glorious and honorable Unholy One!”
