Chapter 905: To Pursue and Attack

Yi Yao died, filled with unwillingness and resentment.

Lu Zhou looked in the direction where Yi Yao had pointed but did not make any movement.

At this moment, a luminous pearl with the color of ice slowly floated up in front of Yi Yao.

Lu Zhou raised his hand and grabbed it in his palm. As soon as his hand came in contact with it, a chilly sensation came over him. The chill was bone piercing. He could feel that if he willed it, the surroundings would turn as cold as winter.

‘So it can control the temperature? If it were on earth, it’d be like a portable air conditioner...’

Cultivators were not affected by the changes of the four seasons. Only when the temperature was abnormally high or abnormally low would it cause harm.

“Ding! Obtained the Sea Spirit Pearl. Fusion. Ability: Absolute Zero Degree. Note: This item has limited energy and can only be used as a forging material.”

“Fusion?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. ‘According to the saying, when the universe was formed, heaven and earth were united, there was no difference between heaven and earth because they were originally one, this should be a universe-grade weapon?’

No matter what, it was definitely a treasure. Moreover, Yi Yao’s confidence to challenge was built upon this thing.

Absolute Zero Degree. This ability was rather good. Even with his karmic fire and supreme mystic power, he could still sense danger from it. If it were another person, even if that person had five Birth Charts, that person would not be Yi Yao’s match.

As Lu Zhou held the Sea Spirit Pearl, he said with a sigh, “It’s a pity that you met me...”

As soon as he finished speaking, his karmic fire burned Yi Yao’s corpse. There was no smoke at all as the karmic fire burned the corpse until there was nothing left.

Whoosh!

Lu Zhou sensed movement from the east direction of the palace wall. It should be from the disintegration of the ice. He looked over. “Something’s wrong...”

He recalled Yi Yao’s words before his death and unleashed his grand technique without any hesitation.

When he arrived at the corner where he sensed the movement, he could sense a remnant of something. Due to the Absolute Zero Degree, the temperature was rather low. However, in this little corner, the temperature was on the higher side. It was obvious to him that someone was just here.

Lu Zhou turned his head slightly and sent a voice transmission. “I’ll be right back. Stay in the palace and don’t leave without permission.”

With that, Lu Zhou disappeared in the direction where the airflow was surging. At the same time, he began to calculate the difference in strength between himself and his enemy.

If it was a Thousand Realms Whirling expert who was stronger than Yi Yao, there would be no need for him or her to run away. Therefore, it was likely that this person was an expert whose strength was roughly around Yi Yao’s level.

Lu Zhou had the enhanced Deadly Strike Card; even an expert with eight Birth Charts was no match for him. However, it would be best if it was someone with less than five Birth Charts. That way, he would be able to gain many merit points.

Lu Zhou recalled Yi Yao calling out to someone to save him; Yi Yao must be calling out to this person. Perhaps, the other party had a change of mind because he could sense his dangerous aura.

...

In front of the Political Announcement Hall.

“Understood.”

When the disciples from the Evil Sky Pavilion heard Lu Zhou’s message, they bowed one after another.

At this moment, everything had returned to normal. The sky was as blue as before. The royal palace that had been frozen in ice was restored as well after Lu Zhou’s large blue lotus appeared.

The royal guards who were frozen solid died; none of them survived. They had long been frozen to death and had no chance of surviving.

After witnessing this battle, Li Yunzheng seemed to have lost the bearing of an emperor. He was cowering in fear. “Teacher, what should we do now?”

Si Wuya said in a low voice, “Now is a good chance for you to take charge of the situation. As long as you don’t leave the royal palace, you can seize the authority.”

“Me?”

“Of course,” Si Wuya said, “This is the best opportunity for you to regain control of Great Tang.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yunzheng cleared his throat before he said, “Royal guards.”

Originally, these royal guards were under Xiahou Sheng. Now that he was dead, they were like headless flies. When Li Yunzheng called out to them, they looked at each other in a daze.

“Impudent!” Li Yunzheng’s voice rose as he said, “Those who disobey will be executed!”

These words pulled the royal guards back to their senses. They were so engrossed in watching the battle that they had forgotten their positions. In just an instant, they fell to their knees.

“Long live the emperor!”

The thousands of commoners fell to their knees as well.

“Long live the Emperor!”

Even if the civil and military officials had tens of thousands of lives, they knew the situation was irreversible. Therefore, all of them fell to their knees as well.

“Long live the emperor.”

The scene was spectacular. Li Yunzheng had imagined this scene countless times. Just like his father, he would govern the country, help the people, and make the world a better place. He would sit on the throne and show his ambition and talent. Now that it became a reality, he could not control his emotions.

As a ruler, Li Yunzheng knew he could not be indecisive. He suppressed his excitement and said in a clear voice, “Rise.”

Everyone slowly rose to their feet.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed over and kneeled on the ground before he said, “Your Majesty, the eight Great Generals of the Ten Path and the governor request an audience.”

The eight Great Generals and the governor; there were nine people.

Li Yunzheng’s heart skipped a beat. Was it a coincidence that these nine people came when his grandmaster was not around?

Si Wuya was the first to speak. “Let them in.”

“Yes.” The eunuch ran out.

Li Yunzheng said, “Teacher, what if they lead troops to surround us? What should we do?”

Si Wuya said with a smile. “You underestimate the Evil Sky Pavilion.” Then, he turned to the side and called out, “Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother...”

Yu Shangrong who was standing at the southernmost side of the Political Announcement Hall said, “Seventh Junior Brother, please speak.” The sun illuminated his face that was devoid of expression.

“Senior brothers are the strongest among the disciples in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Can I trouble both of you to head to the eastern side of the palace wall to have a look?” Si Wuya asked.

Upon hearing this, Conch turned around and glanced at her two eldest senior brothers. She recalled her master’s words and could not help but clenched her jade-like hands. She could understand her master’s words. However, even her incredibly intelligent Seventh Senior Brother seemed to think that way. This could mean she was really weak.

Yu Zhenghai said to Yu Shangrong, “Second Junior Brother, let’s see who’s faster...”

Yu Shangrong responded by immediately manifesting his avatar. The golden Nine-leaf avatar flashed and flew toward the east.

Yu Zhenghai did not lag behind. He manifested his avatar and followed suit.

Just like that, the two Nine-leaf golden avatars flew off.

Following that, Si Wuya continued to say, “Elder Zuo, Elder Hua, Third Senior Brother, please have a look at the southern palace wall.”

“No problem.” Zuo Yushu lightly pounded the Coiling Dragon Staff on the ground. Her body moved at lightning speed as talismans danced in the air, forming a golden dragon.

Hua Wudao looked even more ostentatious. After the Square Box was reforged by the Sky Research Court, it had acknowledged him as its master.

Hua Wudao was even more exaggerated. With the quadrilateral, after being tempered by the research heavenly academy, he acknowledged him as the master again. However, he looked slightly awkward as he flew off on the Square Box.

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Sheng hurriedly picked up his Overlord Spear and followed the two elders.

Although Duanmu Sheng did not manifest his avatar, everyone assumed he was a Nine-leaf cultivator. They thought it was normal. After all, it was not surprising for large sects to have a few Nine-leaf cultivators.

“Fourth Senior Brother... Eh, where’s Fourth Senior Brother?” Si Wuya frowned, looking left and right. He did not even see Mingshi Yin’s shadow. It seemed like he had left a long time ago. He coughed awkwardly before he said, “Elder Pan, Elder Leng, I’ll have to trouble both of you with the northern palace wall.”

“No problem.”

The two elders could not help but manifest their avatars.

In just an instant, two golden Nine-leaf avatars appeared and flew off in the northern direction.

Everyone understood now that Si Wuya intended to have the Evil Sky Pavilion guard the entire royal palace.

At this moment, Si Wuya said, “Ninth Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister, just stay in the Political Announcement Hall. The sun is too bright outside.”

Everyone. “....”
