Chapter 1434: A Huge Threat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What’s the matter?” As the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Yu Zhenghai was naturally vigilant.
Jiang Dongshan said with a smile, “Sir, there’s no need to be so hostile. Although the Unknown Land is dangerous, not everyone you meet is an enemy.”
“Hm?” Yu Zhenghai studied the person in front of him.
In the past three months, Yu Zhenghai had already activated his 14th Birth Chart. He could tell the other party was not simple.
Jiang Dongshan’s eyes quickly swept past the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion before he asked, “Are all of you going to enter the Pillar of Destruction?”
Yu Zhenghai retorted, “What does it have to do with you?”
“…”
Yuan Lang said in a low voice, “As expected as a disciple of Pavilion Master Lu. His words are so blunt.”
When Yuan Lang recalled his first meeting with Lu Zhou, he finally realized why he was beaten up. He prayed the other party would be more tactful. After a long time, he had a good understanding of the temper of the master and ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Although they seemed unbothered, all of them had their own principles. As long as one did not cross their bottom lines, everything would be fine.
Jiang Dongshan was not angry. Instead, he said, “Ping Dan, which used to be called Shitige, used to be the home of Tai Sui, a powerful being. After the land split and the Pillar of Destruction appeared, it was said that Tai Sui became the guardian of the pillar. It’s best not to simply approach the pillar. If you’re not careful, you might end up offending Tai Sui.”
“Why do you say that?” Lu Zhou asked.
Jiang Dongshan shifted his gaze to Lu Zhou and said, “There’s a saying that when you encounter Tai Sui, even if you do nothing, disaster will still befall you. Tai Sui is a harbinger of disaster.”
“Isn’t that too exaggerated?” Little Yuan’er said.
Jiang Dongshan replied, “I’ve been in Ping Dan for a long time. During this time, I’ve killed a lot of fierce beasts and collected some rare herbs. Whenever I meet other cultivators, I’d warn them about this. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”
Everyone looked at Jiang Dongshan skeptically.
At this time, Yuan Lang moved to stand next to Lu Zhou and said in a low voice, “I remember now. Venerable Master Qin did say that Pillar of Destruction in Ping Dan is strange.”
Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Dongshan and asked, “Is there a way to avoid it?”
Jiang Dongshan was slightly startled by Lu Zhou’s words. He thought the other party would choose to take a detour or insist on breaking in; he did not expect the other party to ask for a solution. After a moment, he said, “There are only three kinds of people who can get close to the Pillar of Destruction: one, those who are recognized by the pillar; two, supreme beings; three, well, I don’t think they exist.”
“What’s the third kind of people?” Little Yuan’er asked curiously.
“Those who aren’t bound by the shackles of heaven and earth,” Jiang Dongshan said as he waved his hand, “No one is free from the shackles of heaven and earth so I don’t think the third kind of people exist.”
“Since they don’t exist, what’s the point of saying there are three kinds of people? If they don’t exist, how do you know they can get close to the pillar?” Little Yuan’er asked as she blinked her big eyes.
“???”
‘Since when did this girl become so quick-witted?’
These were the questions everyone wanted to ask as well.
Jiang Dongshan said with a shrug, “I heard it from others.”
“How boring. So it’s rumors,” Little Yuan’er muttered.
Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to Jiang Dongshan. Instead, he took the lead and rushed forward.
When they drew close to the entrance of the Pillar of Destruction, dark fog surged out from inside the pillar.
“Retreat,” Lu Zhou ordered.
The black fog spread outward, quickly killing the nearby flowers, plants, and trees.
“Poisonous gas?” Yuan Lang exclaimed in surprise.
“This isn’t poisonous gas. This is the curse of Tai Sui. As long as we don’t approach, it won’t come out. Look, it has stopped,” Jiang Dongshan said as he pointed at the entrance.
The black fog had stopped streaming out of the entrance.
“You should believe me now, right?” Jiang Dongshan asked.
Lu Zhou continued to advance on Whitzard’s back. As expected, black fog began to surge out again when he drew close. However, when the fog drew close to him, they were instantly repelled by Whitzard’s auspicious qi. The divine mark robe buzzed slightly and repelled the black fog as well. Moreover, he also had the Purple Glazed Ceramic that made him impervious to all poisons. The three treasures protected him very well.
“So you’re an expert,” Jiang Dongshan said.
Little Yuan’er rolled her eyes. “Why are you stating the obvious?”
Lu Zhou did not enter the Pillar of Destruction. It was useless for him to go in after all. The ones who needed to go in were his disciples. He wondered if the black fog would be poisonous for his disciples.
Jiang Dongshan said again, “Don’t be impulsive. The closer you get, the more dangerous it would be.”
At this moment, a flying beast streaked past the sky at a low altitude. As soon as it came in contact with the dark fog, it dropped to the ground with a loud thump.
Little Yuan’er retreated as she asked, “So how do we get in?”
The strange black fog was just like a poisonous fog, swiftly reaping the lives of everything in its vicinity.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion retreated again.
Yuan Lang said, perplexed, “Strange. It wasn’t like this previously when Venerable Master Qin and I were here.”
Lu Zhou turned around and asked, “It wasn’t like this before?”
“That’s right.”
Without being spoken to, Jiang Dongshan said again, “This is due to the worsening imbalance. The pressure on the Pillar of Destruction has increased so the curse will naturally become stronger as well.”
“Isn’t this curse and talk of misfortune just a superstition?” Little Yuan’er asked skeptically.
“It’s better to believe it than not.”
Everyone looked at the dark fog warily.
Lu Zhou hovered in the air and continued to observe the situation below. Since the poisonous fog did not affect him, perhaps, he should go in to check the situation.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to descend, five figures appeared in the air. They were all wearing silver armor and wielded long halberds in their hands, looking like immortal warriors.
“How dare you get close to the Pillar of Destruction!”
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong hurriedly retreated.
The others from the Evil Sky Pavilion were well-trained and tacitly retreated to the side as well.
Lu Wu straightened its back and glared angrily at the five figures in the sky.
“They’re from the Great Void,” Yu Zhenghai said.
Duanmu Sheng, who was standing on Lu Wu’s head, looked at the five silver-armored guards and said, “It’s them again.”
The five silver-armored guards looked at the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion before they raised their hands and threw their halberds out in unison.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black light appeared at the tips of the halberds before five streaks of light shot out.
Jiang Dongshan’s figure flashed away as he cried out, “Dodge!”
Jiang Dongshan’s reaction was quite fast.
A golden astrolabe with 20 Birth Charts bloomed in the sky in front of everyone and blocked the attacks.
Following that, Jiang Dongshan turned around and said, “All of you, retreat now!”
Yu Zhenghai asked, “Why are you helping us?”
“Because I’m from the golden lotus domain,” Jiang Dongshan said with a smile. Then, he turned into a shooting star as he charged toward the five silver-armored guards.
Yu Zhenghai drew his Jasper Saber and said, “Master, I’ll be right back.”
Without waiting for Lu Zhou’s reply, Yu Zhenghai rushed out.
Upon seeing this, Mingshi Yin said, “Master, don’t be angry. Eldest Senior Brother has always been rash like this. When he returns, I’ll speak to him on your behalf.”
Everyone turned to look at Mingshi Yin immediately.
‘You? Do you really dare to do such a thing?’
Lu Zhou did not attack the silver-armored guards. He could clearly sense an abnormality on the ground that was a much bigger threat than the five silver-armored guards.. He silently recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing power and looked down.
