Chapter 1289: I Heard You’re Planning to Seek Justice?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tuoba Hong asked, “Which is it, Young Master Zhao?”

Zhao Yu parroted Lu Zhou’s words, “Venerable Master Tuoba was killed by Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu.”

The people of the Tuoba clan looked at each other, still in disbelief.

One of the women standing behind Tuoba Hong said, “My master was cultivating in seclusion for a long time. When he finally emerged from his cultivation a few months ago, he had already activated his 19th Birth Chart. Subsequently, after receiving the Great Void Pill from Venerable Master Ye, he activated his 20th Birth Chart. Even if he couldn’t win, I don’t believe he couldn’t even escape.”

Zhao Yu chuckled before he said, “I believe you’re in possession of Venerable Master Tuoba’s life stone, right? Why are you lying to yourself? In this world, there’ll always be someone better and stronger. Do you know how powerful Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan were?”

The woman could not refute Zhao Yu’s words.

Tuoba Hong said, “Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan were born in ancient times. They fought for 10,000 years and suffered heavy injuries. Rumor has it that Lord Zhennan resorted to some parasitic technique and merged with a tree to prolong his life and maintain the killing formation in the forest. Their cultivation bases aren’t what they used to be. There’s a limit to one’s life, and they should’ve died a long time ago. They resorted to evil techniques to survive until now. In my opinion, they can’t be that strong now!”

Zhao Yu frowned. He felt like they were drifting further and further away from the topic.

“Elder Tuoba, you stinky and stubborn old man!”

“You!” Tuoba Hong did expect Zhao Yu to suddenly curse at him; he was a little angry.

“It’s up to you to believe it or not! In any case, it’s not a wrongful death!” Zhao Yu said angrily.

Zhao Yu continued to fume. How could these people be so unreasonable? They refused to believe the truth and continued to clamor. He did not want to bother with them any longer. They could rot for all he cared. Without a Venerable Master, the Tuoba clan would decline sooner or later. He was not afraid of them.

“Young Master Zhao!” Tuoba Hong raised his voice.

Clank!

Lu Zhou tossed something out of his hand.

The strange noise attracted everyone’s attention.

An ink-color object landed on the ground.

The people of Yannan and the others might not recognize it, but it was impossible for the people of the Tuoba clan not to recognize it.

“Asura Scimitar?!”

“It’s Venerable Master Tuoba’s Asura Scimitar!”

At this time, a clan member who regarded Tuoba Sicheng as his religion fell to his knees. Tears rolled down his face as he cried out, “Venerable Master Tuoba!”

The Asura Scimitar was Tuoba Sicheng’s weapon. As a Venerable Master, the scimitar was like his life, and it went wherever he went.

Tuoba Hong stumbled back as his lips trembled. Sadness rose in his heart immediately.

In fact, there were many in the Tuoba clan who knew it was highly likely that Tuoba Sicheng had died. However, quite a number of those who idolized him could not accept his death and chose to indulge in denial. It did not matter to them if his life stone shattered or if others verified his death. They would not accept it unless they saw his corpse. This kind of determination was infectious. Alas, no matter how hard they lied to themselves, it could not change the fact that their idol was dead.

The Asura Scimitar was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

At this time, another clan member fell to his knees.

The sorrow seemed to be infectious.

While the Tuoba clan’s people found this hard to accept and were the saddest among the people present, the people from Yannan were shocked by the Asura Scimitar as well.

At this time, Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve, withdrawing the Asura Scimitar.

This action caused Tuoba Hong and the others to regain their senses.

Tuoba Hong suppressed his sadness for the time being and hurriedly said, “This weapon belongs to Venerable Master Tuoba. Can you return it to the Tuoba clan?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. He did not speak.

Mingshi Yin said, “Perhaps, I should make something clear to you. When we were in Yu Zhong, Tuoba Sicheng tried to kill my master multiple times. If it weren’t for my master’s benevolence, today would be a good day to massacre the people of the Tuoba clan. To think you have the audacity to ask for the Asura Scimitar.”

“…”

Tuoba Hong and the others were stunned.

“Did Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan really kill Venerable Master Tuoba?” another disciple asked again.

“Stop asking stupid questions.” Zhao Yu really did not want to go back to that topic again.

“Are Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu still in Yu Zhong?”

“They’re dead.”

“Dead?”

Zhao Yu said, “The old sir killed Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu.”

“…”

Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu killed Tuoba Sicheng, and the old man in front of them killed Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu.

After the people of the Tuoba clan processed this, they instinctively took a step back. At this time, they finally understood why Ye Wei was so humble.

Tuoba Hong inhaled deeply and forced himself to calm down. Then, he said, “If Venerable Master Tuoba had offended the old sir, we’re willing to apologize.”

Ye Wei. “…”

‘Hey, where’s your arrogance from earlier? It disappeared?’

It was human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

At this moment, a disciple at the foot of the mountain sent a Voice Transmission announcing Qin Renyue’s arrival.

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Hong was overjoyed.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a flying chariot flying over from the distance.

Tuoba Hong had been enduring so long for this moment. He wanted Qin Renyue to stand up for them and help them seek justice. No matter what, Qin Renyue’s arrival was a good thing.

The flying chariot landed on the cloud platform.

Two rows of cultivators stood respectfully on both sides of the deck.

Perhaps, Tuoba Sicheng’s death had muddled the minds of the people of the Tuoba clan. As soon as they saw Qin Renyue’s flying chariot, it was as though they had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.

Without waiting for Qin Renyue to disembark from the flying chariot, Tuoba Hong rushed to the front of the cloud platform and fell to his knees as he cried out, “Venerable Master Qin, I beg you to stand up for the Tuoba clan!”

With the Tuoba Hong serving as an example, the juniors from the Tuoba clan fell to their knees and cried out in unison, “Venerable Master Qin, we beg you to stand up for the Tuoba clan and uphold justice.”

“…”

Mingshi Yin was briefly startled. Then, he shook his head helplessly and looked away. He thought to himself, ‘There’s still hope for the four elders of Yannan, but Tuoba Hong is hopeless.’

Everyone looked at the flying chariot except for Lu Zhou who was enjoying the scenery near the cloud platform that was shrouded in mist and clouds. The imbalance did not seem to affect this place. In comparison, the weather in the golden lotus domain, red lotus domain, and black lotus domain were really bad.

Balance. There had never been true balance in the world just like fairness and equality.

Although Lu Zhou was enjoying the scenery of this place that seemed like it came out of painting without having to worry about being mauled to death by fierce beasts, he was living a life that was fraught with danger where he could die at any time. Even during the most peaceful time, it was still dangerous for people to go out at night.

Qin Ren Yue walked out onto the deck. As soon as he arrived, he saw Tuoba Hong kneeling on the ground. He was about to ask Tuoba Hong to get up when he saw Lu Zhou who was admiring the beautiful mountains and rivers. He was taken aback. The first thought that appeared in his mind was who was this person?

Currently, Lu Zhou’s appearance was very different from when he fought the Fire Phoenix, but his bearing and aura were still the same. After the effect of the disguise card disappeared, he had gone to cultivate under the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence, causing his appearance to be more mature and dependable-looking.

Qin Renyue was not stupid. As soon as he shifted his gaze slightly, he saw Whitzard who was shrouded in auspicious energy, the fierce Qiong Qi lying on the ground and chewing on something, and Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong who stood out from the crowd. If he still could not figure out who Lu Zhou was at this time, he would have lived so long in vain.

Qin Renyue rushed out of the flying chariot immediately and landed on the cloud platform. He smiled as he walked over.

The Qin clan’s disciples disembarked from the flying chariot one by one.

Tuoba Hong was overjoyed when he saw Qin Renyue leaving the flying chariot. He opened his mouth to speak when Qin Renyue brushed past him, ignoring him.

Tuoba Hong. “???”

Tuoba Hong hurriedly rose to his feet and chased after Qin Renyue. He raised his hand and said, “V-venerable M…”

“Don’t block my way,” Qin Renyue said in a low voice as his expression darkened.

“…”

Qin Renyue led his disciples and walked over to Lu Zhou. He cupped his fists together and said with a smile, “Brother Lu, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Tuoba Hong, the Tuoba clansmen, Ye Wei, and Yannan’s disciples. “???”

Lu Zhou shifted his gaze to Qin Renyue before casually remarking, “You have quite a discerning eye.”

“As a Venerable Master, disguising one’s appearance is not difficult, after all. Moreover, Whitzard is extraordinary. If I still can’t recognize Brother Lu, I might as well be blind.”

“…”

Tuoba Hong was stunned. He felt as though he had just been slapped.

Lu Zhou nodded before he asked, “I heard you want to seek justice for the Tuoba clan?”
