Chapter 489: The Legend of Luo Shiyin

“Tell me what you know . ” If Lu Zhou had more information about the Luo woman, it would be relatively easier to look for her .

Huang Shijie said, “300 years ago, I attained the Eight-leaf stage out of pure luck . At that time, I knew nothing about the Eight-leaf stage . Penglai was in turmoil, and I had to take charge . Hence… I visited the Three Sects and asked Yun Tianluo for advice . ”

Lu Zhou did not know Huang Shijie was acquainted with Yun Tianluo as well .

Back then, the Three Sects were in the limelight . After becoming an Eight-leaf cultivator, Yun Tianluo rose to the peak . From that moment on, the Three Sects officially opened their doors to recruit disciples using Yun Tianluo’s name and swiftly grew stronger .

It was common for the other sects to have discussions about cultivation with Yun Tianluo at the Three Sects . Naturally, not everyone was lucky enough to be given such a chance .

“At the time, Yun Tianluo mentioned a woman with the surname Luo . He said that he obtained her cultivation method and improved by leaps and bounds . Naturally, I didn’t believe him wholly . After leaving the Three Sects, I heard there truly was such a person . She has one special ability…” Huang Shijie said .

“What is it?” Si Wuya said .

The more information they could glean about, it would make their search easier .

“She’s gifted in tunes . ”

Huang Shijie said solemnly, “I had a wonderful conversation with Yun Tianluo . I couldn’t get the woman he mentioned out of my mind ever since . Hence, I ordered my Penglai Sect disciples to look for her . Then, I heard rumors that she is gifted in tune . She frequently sits at the seashore while playing the zither . Someone once saw the fish and beasts of the sea responding to her music as they leaped around happily . ”

The others were in wonder .

Lu Zhou glanced at Miss Conch . Was this trait not similar to Miss Conch? He said, “Conch has the same talent as well, but it’s not surprising . There are members of the Other Tribes in the west who know the tongue of beasts . ”

Huang Shijie turned and looked at Conch as he said, “Then, a tidal wave washed over the shore . The Luo woman disappeared with the waves . I reckon she’s dead now . ”

However, it was easy for a powerful cultivator to walk on air or the waves . How could she drown?

Si Wuya asked, “Anything else?”

“The Luo woman is legendary, but she keeps a low profile . I don’t know anything else about her apart from that,” Huang Shi Jie said .

“What about her name?”

“I don’t know . ”

The others sighed helplessly .

Hua Chongyang said, “Indeed, she resembles Miss Conch . ”

Although Conch seemed to have only understood half of the conversation, she nodded and said, “Yes . ”

One of them was a legendary figure 300 years ago; the other was a 16-years old young lady in her prime . Alas, there was a high chance the former was gone now .

Huang Shijie said, “This young girl is talented . If she starts cultivating, I’m sure she has a bright future ahead of her . ”

Similarly, Lu Zhou felt this young girl had great potential as well .

Si Wuya bowed at Lu Zhou and said, “Master, I’ll look for this Luo woman with all the . Whether she’s alive or dead, I’ll give you an explanation . ”

“Alright . ” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction .

It was getting late . It was time for him to leave . Just when he was about to turn around, Huang Shijie seemed to hesitate over speaking up . In the end, he stepped forward and called, “Brother Ji, wait up!”

“What is it?”

“If you have the time, will you visit Penglai as a guest?” Huang Shijie asked .

It had been a long time since he had visited Penglai Island . Penglai Island had always been referred to as a great island . The place derived its glory from the throngs of talented cultivators they produced over the years .

Unfortunately, Lu Zhou still had many matters to attend to and did not have much strength or energy to spare . Hence, he said, “The Penglai Sect rarely concerns themselves with worldly affairs . You, the master of the island, actually came all to Jing Province . Are you trying to say the little island of Penglai isn’t enough to satisfy you anymore?”

Huang Shijie was taken aback . He said at once, “We have no choice . Truly, we don’t…”

Nothing came for free in this world, after all .

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “Play your role well . Don’t covet what’s not yours . ”

Huang Shijie dared not retort . He said at once, “Thank you for your teaching, Brother Ji . ”

The other Penglai Sect disciples bowed, “Thank you for your teaching, Old Senior Ji . ”

Who would dare to speak against a Nine-leaf cultivator?

Si Wuya was relieved . Ever since Huang Shijie appeared, he was worried the most about people being greedy and covetous . What if his Eldest Senior Brother could not satisfy their demands? However, with his master’s words, it would serve as a deterrence . No matter how ambitious they were, they still had to act restraint .

…

After stepping out of the great hall, Lu Zhou surveyed his surroundings .

Si Wuya followed him out and said, “It’s only a branch . The environment lives much to desire . ”

“It’s alright . If the situation permits, I’ll come again,” Lu Zhou said .

“Ding! Disciplined Yu Zhenghai . Reward: 200 merit points . ”

“You’re always welcome here, master,” Si Wuya replied .

“Ding! Disciplined Yu Zhenghai . Reward: 200 merit points . ”

They made small talk for a moment before Lu Zhou decided to live . He summoned Bi An .

Conch and Lu Zhou leaped onto Whitzard’s back and they flew away .

The members of the Nether Sect and Penglai Sect sighed in relief .

Si Wuya wiped the sweat off his face as well .

Hua Chongyang fell to his knees at once . “Mister Seventh, please punish me severely for my incompetence! I won’t feel at ease if the punishment isn’t harsh . ”

Si Wuya sighed, shook his head, and said, “Punishment is a must… but not now . The battle of Jing Province is about to begin . Atone your sins with merits . ”

Hua Chongyang said, “I will do my best . ”

Si Wuya looked at Huang Shijie . “Senior Huang, you must be tired… Why don’t you spend the night here in the branch?”

“It’s nothing . ” Huang Shijie led his disciples and left .

When everyone had left, Si Wuya made his way to Yu Zhenghai’s room .

A short while later, he stood outside the room and called out, “Eldest Senior Brother, master has left . ”

It was quiet . There was no reply from the room .

“Eldest Senior Brother?”

No reply .

“Master has left, honest . ”

Si Wuya found this strange . He found no issues when he examined his Eldest Senior Brother’s body with his Primal Qi moments ago . After his master unsealed his cultivation base, he should have been awake by now with his recuperating abilities .

While he felt puzzled, there was a voice rang from up above . “Tell Yu Zhenghai that I’ll remember his actions of using the Evil Sky Pavilion’s name . ”

“Ding! Disciplined Yu Zhenghai . Reward: 500 merit points . ”

Si Wuya shuddered . He turned around at once . He looked up and saw Whitzard hovering in the skies . “Yes, master!”

Conch was seated before Lu Zhou on Whitzard’s back .

His master’s movements were truly unpredictable . Who would be able to figure out his thoughts?

When Si Wuya looked up again, Whitzard had already vanished in the horizons . Then, he looked at his Eldest Senior Brother’s room that was as silent as a graveyard . He gave it some thought before saying, “Looks like Eldest Senior Brother is seriously wounded…” After saying this, he left .

…

The room was completely dark and silent .

Yu Zhenghai opened his eyes after Si Wuya left . He looked at the ceiling, continued to sleep .

Early the next morning, Si Wuya stood outside the room again . He bowed and said, “Eldest Senior Brother . ”

There were still no movements . ‘Okay, this is going too far . ’ Si Wu Ya sai, “Eldest Senior Brother… I’ve come up with a good plan to take down Jing Province in seven days . ”

Slam!

The door was pushed open by a surge of Primal Qi .

Yu Zhenghai walked out with his hands on his back .

“Eldest Senior Brother, did you rest well yesterday?”

“I had a long dream . I don’t feel comfortable . ” Yu Zhenghai stretched his limb .
