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.
