“Ultimate Formation?”

Special and powerful formations were within Lu Zhou’s expectations. It just so happened that his heaven-defying power was unafraid of all kinds of strange formations.

Qin Renyue explained, “This so-called Ultimate Formation has the ability to return things to their original states. However, once one enters the formation, life and death are hard to predict. Even a Venerable Master won’t dare to be reckless in the formation.”

“It’s so powerful?” Mingshi Yin asked.

“I haven’t been in the formation so I can’t say for sure,” Qin Renyue replied.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou. They were waiting for his decision. If he decided to wait outside, they would wait outside. If he said to enter, they would enter. No one dared to act rashly when they were not confident.

Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “Lead the way.”

Gao Cheng was slightly startled by Lu Zhou’s decision. He raised his head and studied Lu Zhou. He could not see anything special about Lu Zhou, and Lu Zhou did not have the air of a Venerable Master at all. He wondered how someone like that managed to defeat the emperor of Great Qin. However, he also knew better than to judge a book by its cover. Finally, he smiled and said, “Please follow me.”

Everyone followed Gao Cheng and flew northwest of the royal palace.

The royal palace was unimaginably big. It was said that the emperor of Great Qin had even built his own tomb. The construction of the tomb was once condemned by the people. However, who could change the emperor’s decision? Thousands of people kneeled outside the residences of the four Venerable Masters, pleading for them to intervene. In fact, a few of the Venerable Masters did speak to the emperor, but it was rather perfunctory and there was no follow-up.

The emperor of Great Qin’s cultivation base was mysterious and profound. The four Venerable Masters did not know his specific background and did not want to involve themselves in this matter. All they wanted to do was focus on their cultivation.

In the eyes of the people, the emperor of Great Qin was a tyrant.

…

“The Mystic Tranquility Hall is up ahead. Everyone, please think it through,” Gao Cheng said.

“Rubbish,” Mingshi Yin said.

Gao Cheng glanced at Mingshi Yin. However, he did not seem angry. He turned around and continued to lead the group.

Mingshi Yin did not know why, but he really disliked this place. Everything about it looked annoying to him.

When they arrived in front of the Mystic Tranquility Hall, it was exceptionally quiet and deserted.

One by one, they descended on the ground.

“Your Majesty, I’ve brought them here.”

“Alright.” The emperor of Great Qin’s voice rang from the hall.

Following that, a figure flashed out. The emperor was dressed in a golden dragon robe. He stared at everyone with burning eyes and said, “Bring the seats.”

Guards rushed over from all directions, setting up tables and chairs in front of the hall. Even the dragon throne was brought out.

Four guards carrying sabers landed in front of the hall; two on the left and two on the right.

Lu Zhou’s expression remained the same as he glanced behind the emperor of Great Qin. He had destroyed five of the emperor’s Birth Charts, and yet, the emperor was still able to act like nothing happened. He thought the emperor was really good at pretending. He did not believe there was no fluctuation in the emperor’s heart at all when he saw him.

In fact, the emperor’s expression did change when he saw Lu Zhou. However, it was very slight and was quickly replaced with a calm expression. He had to maintain the air of an emperor, after all. When he finally saw Qin Renyue and the 49 swordsmen, he frowned in confusion. “Venerable Master Qin?”

Qin Renyue smiled. “Brother Lu invited me to be a witness. How can I not come? I hope both of you will be able to resolve the conflict and become friends. It’s best if everyone’s happy and stop fighting each other.”

The emperor flicked his sleeve and sat down as he said, “Venerable Master Qin, you shouldn’t have come.”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “Even now, you’re still stubborn.”

The emperor said in a clear voice, “I’m not stubborn. The person who’s stubborn is you.”

“I’ll destroy five of your Birth Charts…” Lu Zhou said as his eyes flashed.

The emperor was stunned. His hands that were placed on the armrest twitched slightly.

Qin Renyue exclaimed in confusion, “Five Birth Charts?”

The emperor said, “I went to the Zhao Residence to get to know you. I only made a move to test you. Unfortunately, you didn’t understand my intention and insisted on making things difficult for me. Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”

“Why was Your Majesty so aggressive? Why couldn’t Your Majesty sit down and have a good talk? Was there a need to make a move regardless of the reason?” Qin Renyue asked. He was not only here to build a good relationship with Lu Zhou, but he was here to be a peacemaker as well.

“Venerable Master Qin, there’s nothing for you to do here. It’s best if you leave. I hope that one day if your Birth Charts are destroyed, you’ll be able to speak properly like me,” the emperor said.

“Destroyed?” Qin Renyue was taken aback. Realization dawned on him. He looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Brother Lu, don’t you think you’re… a little too heavy-handed?”

Lu Zhou did not reply. Instead, he was prepared to shatter another super Reduction Card. Faced with Venerable Masters, the situation might change at any moment. One could not afford to be careless at all.

Qin Renyue turned to the emperor and said, “You can still recover your Birth Charts. Why don’t we put the matter behind us? What do you think? Can’t you do it for my sake?”

Qin Renyue’s words were appropriate. If the emperor of Great Qin managed to recover his Birth Charts, perhaps, everything would be fine. However, he had yet to recover it until now. He had been enduring the anger all this time. He no longer paid attention to Qin Renyue. Instead, he turned to Lu Zhou and said, “I didn’t you’d really dare to come. Up until now, even the four Venerable Master wouldn’t dare to confront me directly.”

Qin Renyue said, his voice slightly grave, “You better not activate the Ultimate Formation. It won’t benefit anyone.”

The emperor turned back to look at Qin Renyue and said, “Venerable Master Qin, I have the means to take your life, but I didn’t do it because I wanted you to keep the other Venerable Masters in line. Don’t be ungrateful.”

Qin Renyue. “…”

With these words, the atmosphere turned even tenser.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Perhaps, if you lose another five Birth Charts, you’ll finally know your place.”

Lu Zhou was going to shatter the super Reduction Card. After all, the golden lotus domain was in danger, and he did not have time to waste with the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor clapped his hand.

Four figures flew from four directions and came to a stop above the Mystic Tranquility Hall.

“Who dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty?”

The four figures landed in a row in front of the hall. They were all white-haired old men with equally white beards.

“The four elders of Mount Li?” Qin Renyue frowned.

“Qin Renyue?”

The four elders looked like immortals who had descended to the mortal realm.

Qin Renyue said with a smile, “I didn’t expect the four elders of Mount Li to still be alive.”

Kong Wen came to Lu Zhou’s side and whispered into Lu Zhou’s ear, causing Lu Zhou to frown slightly.

As it turned out, the four elders of Mount Li were famous cultivators in the cultivation world a long time ago. There were rumors they had gone away to places unknown to break through and become Venerable Masters. There were also rumors that they were eliminated by the Equalizers. They had long activated 17 Birth Charts, and no one knew if they activated any more over the long years.

The emperor rose to his feet and said, “Four elders, please take a seat.”

Everyone was surprised.

To be able to make the emperor use the word ‘please’ and put away his prestige as the emperor, how could the four elders’ cultivation bases be low? Even Qin Renyue was not afforded this treatment.

The emperor asked, “Four elders, have you become Venerable Masters?”

Cui Mingguang, one of the four elders of Mount Li, replied, “Yes and no.”

“Huh?”

Everyone was confused by this reply.

The emperor continued to say, “I wouldn’t have invited the four elders to leave the mountain if I weren’t helpless…”

The four elders of Mount Li only nodded but did not ask for the reason. Their eyes flashed as they looked at Lu Zhou.

“Did you injure His Majesty?” Cui Mingguang asked, puzzled.

Lu Zhou suddenly felt the super Reduction Card was not that great anymore.

The four elders, Gao Cheng, the four guards, and the emperor all had profound cultivation bases.

No wonder the emperor of Great Qin was still so confident after losing five Birth Charts.
