Swoosh!

The black-clad cultivator rose higher into the sky as a red lotus bloomed beneath his feet. Seven light disks appeared consecutively after that.

“This is bad! It’s his light disks!”

“Hold on! We must hold on!”

The three cult leaders stood back to back as they lifted a light disk each as golden lotuses bloomed under their feet. The three light disks lit up, ready to attack.

As one of the light disks flew over, beams of light shot out from the trio’s astrolabes as well.

Boom!

“Hold on!”

The light disks were too powerful, and the beams of light from the three astrolabes were very powerful as well. One could imagine the outcome of the collision between the two.

Heaven and earth shook.

The other members of the Nihilist Congregation quickly retreated to avoid the shockwaves as the power from both sides reached its peak.

Yan Guichen laughed out loud before he said, “I told you he’s not the Fire Deity! Look!”

The trio saw that their beams of light had left a small opening on the light disk.

“Don’t be careless. The Four Divinities of Heaven lost a lot of their power back then. Even then, we still might not be a match for them.”

“Alright.”

The trio, who saw hope, held onto their astrolabes even more firmly than before.

The black-clad cultivator’s eyes glowed red as he said in a deep voice, “Ants.”

The second light disk suddenly became several times stronger.

“Use the laws!” Cult Leader Zhou shouted when he saw this.

The trio combined their strength and imbued the beams of light with the power of the laws.

Space froze as the beams of light that had grown even more powerful shot toward the second light disk.

At the critical moment…

Boom!

A figure appeared at the collision point of the beams of light and the light disk. One hand blocked the beams of light while the other hand blocked the light disk.

The three cult leaders and the black-clad cultivator were shocked.

The figure was shining with blue electric arcs, and the ancient Dragon Soul from the robe flew and roared in the sky. The figure’s long hair and robe fluttered in the wind, and it looked incomparably majestic.

When Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu finally had a good look at the newcomer, they exclaimed in surprise and joy, “Lord Unholy One!”

“Lord, Lord Unholy One?” Yan Guichen, who was meeting Lu Zhou for the first time, was shocked. He had studied the Unholy One’s painting too many times in the past. He had seen many images in the painting as well. 100,00 years ago, he could also be considered one of the few who understood the Unholy One. The aura, the absolute strength, and the dazzling blue light that was like bolts of lightning. Who else could it be but the Unholy One?

“Get lost.”

Lu Zhou struck with his left hand, and the beams of light disappeared.

Boom!

Then, Lu Zhou pushed his right hand out.

Boom!

The light disk and the ones behind it caved in before they disappeared as well.

After the Primal Qi, energy, and violent wind subsided, silence descended on the place immediately, and everyone’s vision returned.

Both parties stopped fighting.

The three Cult Leaders of the Nihilist Congregation were extremely excited as they kneeled in the air and cried out, “Greetings, Lord Unholy One!”

The members of the Nihilist Congregation, who had rushed over from afar, kneeled in the air in unison as well.

Lu Zhou looked to the left and right before he put away the painting and the powers of the four power cores.

Yan Guichen said excitedly, “I was unaware that you visited the congregation. I deserve to 10,000 deaths for it.”

“You’re Yan Guichen?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Yes. I returned late because I fell into the trap of these three despicable people. Fortunately, my two elder brothers knew how to contact you, my lord! My lord, please seek justice for me!”

‘What amazing skills! He’s already flattering and complaining as soon as they meet!’

Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu looked at Yan Guichen with a hint of admiration.

Lu Zhou slowly turned around and looked at the black-clad cultivator. After staring at the black-clad cultivator for a while, he said, “Ling Guang, the Fire Deity?”

The black-clad cultivator did not answer.

Instead, a greeting rang from below.

“Senior Ji, we meet again.”

The three cult leaders’ hearts skipped a beat.

‘They know each other?’

Lu Zhou looked down and frowned. “It’s you?”

“It’s not just me…” Qi Sheng said before he pointed at Zhu Honggong in the distance.

Zhu Honggong could only see Qi Sheng pointing at him. He thought about it for a moment before he hesitantly flew back. From afar, he found the figure of the newcomer somewhat familiar. As soon as he was close enough, he recognized it with just a glance.

‘Isn’t that master?!’

Zhu Honggong thought he had seen wrongly so he rubbed his eyes before he looked again. It was indeed his master! His speed picked up as he flew forward. He cried out, “Master!”

Cult Leaders Zhou, Chu, and Yan: “???”

Zhu Honggong flew to the front of Lu Zhou before he pounced over and hugged Lu Zhou’s thigh. Then, he cried out, “Master! I’ve missed you so much!”

Lu Zhou frowned and slightly raised his leg to kick Zhu Honggong away. Then, he said slightly reproachfully, “Bast*rd! You dare to run away during the commanders’ competition. You still dare to face me?”

“???”

Yan Guichen’s heart sank.

‘Master?’

Yan Guichen was already seriously injured, to begin with. After hearing Lu Zhou and Zhu Honggong’s conversation, perhaps, due to the shock, he plummeted from the sky.

“Cult Leader Yan!” Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu cried out in unison before they dove and caught Yan Guichen.

Zhu Honggong glanced at the three cult leaders before he said, “Master, I’m on a mission to look for Seventh Senior Brother. No matter how important the commanders’ competition was, it’s not as important as Seventh Senior Brother!”

“Old Seventh?”

“It began from the day of the commanders’ competition. I really didn’t flee. In fact, there’s a good reason…”

Lu Zhou raised his hand to stop Zhu Honggong. “We’ll discuss this later.”

“Yes.” Zhu Honggong nodded with a smile.

Lu Zhou looked at Qi Sheng and the black-clad cultivator before he looked at the undamaged small house. Then, he said to everyone, “Come here.”

Then, Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of the small house.
