The red flying chariot was in pieces now. If there had been an elite in it, it would not have crashed to the ground. This meant there was no one in the bright-red flying chariot in the first place! There was no so-called expert in there at all!

After waiting for a moment, nobody emerged from the rubble.

Lu Zhou nodded as he stroked his beard. “Empty?” Fortunately, he had expected this when he used his five cards. The situation was still within his control. If a group of Divine Court realm cultivators had charged at him, he would have had a hard time dealing with it.

Little Yuan’er appeared delighted. She was the first one to break the silence. She giggled and said, “You’re amazing, master!”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said calmly, “How are you feeling?”

“I’m alright... I felt slightly dizzy earlier, but I feel much better now,” Little Yuan’er said as she walked toward Lu Zhou.

‘Is the Supreme Purity Jade Slip capable of repelling witchcraft?’ Lu Zhou wondered.

The light purple glow from the witchcraft Formation had almost disappeared now. There were still soldiers and cultivators around them who were waiting to attack.

Lu Zhou was not worried. After all, the remaining people were powerless to make him stay. He shifted his attention to Ding Fanqiu.

At this moment, Ding Fanqiu was coughing violently.

Lu Zhou continued to stare at Ding Fanqiu. Initially, he had intended to buy a Deadly Strike Card to deal with Ding Fanqiu immediately. However, when he saw that Ding Fanqiu was injured and afflicted by the witchcraft spell that greatly weakened his cultivation base, he changed his mind. With his hands on his back, he approached Ding Fanqiu. With Chen Zhu dead, he had no choice but to try and get information from Ding Fanqiu. Whether he had to resort to torture or intimidation, he was certain he would be able to get something out of Ding Fanqiu.

Upon seeing Lu Zhou walking toward him, Ding Fanqiu struggled to sit up with great difficulty. He endured the pain from the arrow to his chest and kneeled before he pleaded, “This junior has eyes but couldn’t see clearly. Please forgive me, senior!” As soon as he finished speaking, he was in a coughing fit again. The air he had put on earlier when he was impersonating Ji Tiandao could no longer be seen.

‘Senior?’ Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. His expression was indifferent as he said, “I think it’s strange for you to address me as your senior.”

Ding Fanqiu endured the pain in his chest and said, “It’s unforgivable for me to impersonate you. However, I must still thank you for killing Chen Zhu, and thus, avenging my disciple.” He shot his two disciples a meaningful look as soon as he finished speaking.

Upon seeing this, Ding Fanqiu’s two disciples quickly got on their knees and kowtowed at Lu Zhou.

“Thank you, senior!”

“Thank you, senior!”

“Ding! You have been kowtowed at. Reward: 2 merit points.”

‘Insincere and petty hypocrites.’ There was no change of expression on Lu Zhou’s old face. He showed no happiness and anger as he stroked his beard and said, “I have some questions for you, and you’ll answer them truthfully.”

“I will tell you anything and everything I know!”

“Very good.” Lu Zhou gave it some thought before asking, “Tell me your true identity.”

Ding Fanqiu no longer dared to continue acting. He replied, “I’m Ding Fanqiu from Great Yan’s Yun Sect. These three are truly my disciples.”

Little Yuan’er scoffed before she said, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves for impersonating the Evil Sky Pavilion when you’re so weak?”

Ding Fanqiu was rendered speechless. A Five-leaf avatar was not weak.

“Why did you impersonate the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Lu Zhou asked as he stroked his beard.

Ding Fanqiu hesitated slightly before he finally said, “In response to your question, senior, many of the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects’ disciples were killed by the Evil Sky Pavilion. Centuries ago, the Evil Sky Pavilion destroyed several thousand of weapons of the three sects, dealing a heavy blow to our foundations. Since then, we’ve never been able to truly recover. I was ordered to...” He paused at this moment,

“Say it,” Lu Zhou barked.

“I was ordered to impersonate the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion and commit crimes everywhere,” Ding Fanqiu reluctantly replied.

Lu Zhou shook his head and sighed softly. “Yun Sect is the head of the three sects. A grand sect of the Noble Path is resorting to such despicable methods?”

“The Evil Sky Pavilion has committed so many evil deeds. I was only ordered to give them a taste of their own medicine!”

Swoosh!

A wave of energy sailed toward Ding Fanqiu at this moment.

Smack!

It hit Ding Fanqiu on the face. Five fingerprints appeared on his cheek, bringing with it a burning and stinging pain.

“Senior, you...” Ding Fanqiu stumbled back. He did not know what to do. However, he knew he did not dare to retaliate even if he was given a chance.

“I’ll ask you again, what’s the secret behind that bone?”

After receiving a slap, Ding Fanqiu became much more subservient. He cradled his cheek as he said, “There’s a bone from the Bai people that can help a cultivator overcome the great limitation of a thousand years!” A confused expression could be seen on his face as he ventured softly, “Senior, with your knowledge and experience, you must’ve heard of this before.”

‘A bone from the Bai people that’s capable of overcoming the life limit of the cultivation world?’ Lu Zhou searched his memories again. Since Ji Tiandao lived for a thousand years and traveled across the lands, it was impossible for him to have no recollection of this matter. He fumbled through his memories for a while, but he found nothing. He decided to give up and continued interrogating Ding Fanqiu. “Has this bone been found?”

Ding Fanqiu shook his head and said, “The palace has searched continuously for a decade and has not found it. The chances are even slimmer for us to find it.”

Little Yuan’er snorted and said, “Fools... Nobody can overcome the life limit. The owner of the bone died, and yet, you’re hoping the bone can help you overcome your life limit. What a joke!”

Ding Fanqiu was rendered speechless again by Little Yuan’er’s words.

Lu Zhou was reminded of Emperor Qin from earth. The emperor scoured the lands for a way to extend his lifespan. The people of the cultivation world had never lived past the limit. However, there was bound to be those who were unwilling to bow down to fate and wanted to try. ‘Could it be that Great Yan’s Emperor is also unwilling to submit to the limit of his lifespan?’

While Lu Zhou was lost in his thoughts, the soldiers and low-ranked cultivators on the jetty began to close in on them. There were several thousand soldiers and hundreds of cultivators in the Sense Condensing realm, Brahman Sea realm, and the Divine court realm.

“They’ve been affected by the witchcraft Formation. They’re powerless now. Don’t be afraid.”

“Trespassers will be executed on the spot!”

Lu Zhou’s expression remained indifferent when he saw the incoming soldiers and cultivators.

Little Yuan’er flexed her limbs and said, “Master, let me handle them.”

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “There’s no need for that.”

“Huh?” A confused expression appeared on Little Yuan’er’s face.

“Bi An.” Two fists were no match for four limbs after all.

Although Little Yuan’er was powerful, it would still be asking a lot of her to completely defeat thousands of soldiers and hundreds of cultivators.

Bi An emerged from the forest as soon as Lu Zhou called its name.

The soldiers and cultivators turned back to look when they heard the sounds of growling from behind them.

“What’s that?”

“A tiger?”

“How can a tiger be here?”

The soldiers and cultivators were still confused when Bi An approached them, its figure could be seen with increasing clarity.

As expected, Bi An was not affected by witchcraft.

“This...”

“A beast?”

Bi An roared loudly, the sound of it resounded throughout the forest.

The soldiers’ knees knocked against each other from fear and shock. It was apparent now that what they had thought was an ordinary beast was actually an extremely powerful beast. Only a powerful human cultivator could tame such a ferocious beast and turn it into a mount.

At this moment, Bi An charged at the crowd! Mightiness and meekness formed a stark contrast! For a time, severed limbs flew everywhere.

“Run!”

“Retreat!”

“Divine Court realm cultivators! Assemble!”

The cultivators with cultivation bases in the Brahman Sea realm and below had no choice but to retreat.

Meanwhile, the soldiers could not even withstand a single blow. They were all sent flying.

Bi An’s formidable combat strength was completely displayed before these insignificant humans.

The Divine Court realm cultivators launched their Mudras and flying swords.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The attacks from the Divine Court realm cultivators did not affect Bi An, it only served to anger Bi An.

Rarrggh!

Bi An went berserk! It leaped into the air and pounced at the cultivators! One should not forget that, unlike Elephant King, Bi An could fly!

“No way! A flying beast!”

Crack!

The cultivator who had spoken did not even have time to react before his bones were broken with just a single strike from Bi An.

Bi An continued to rampage through the crowd, it was chaotic. Without a leader and discipline, the soldiers and cultivators were like a tray of loose pearls. In the end, the thousands of soldiers could only retreat in fear.

“Fall back!”

“It’s not affected by witchcraft! How’s that possible?!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bi An took out a soldier with every swipe of its claw. It was extremely ferocious.

The soldiers would not have been so afraid of a human. After all, they could whittle away at a human’s strength. However, they were facing a beast at this moment. Moreover, this beast seemed like it did not even know what exhaustion meant!

‘The mortals are truly pitiful...’ With this thought in mind, Lu Zhou gestured for Bi An to attack the cultivators. “I’ve always been merciful. Leave the mortals alone. Deal with the cultivators.’

Ding Fanqiu. “???”

His two disciples. “???”
