C2357 Elder lu

"Don't force your way in, if Lan Yuan finds out about it, it would be troublesome, so I just need to find a way to sneak in." Qi Tianyu said softly in Sheng Ze's ear. He had controlled his temper, he did not expect Sheng Ze to be someone with a explosive temper, but after thinking about it, if his temper did not explode, he would retreat immediately, and would not leave any path for future.

Qi Tianyu caught a few hawker looking people, casually gave them two low level Spiritual Stone s and borrowed their identity tokens, then brought Sheng Ze into the city.

Sheng Ze sighed, "I never thought that after all these years of seclusion, even the guards at the city gate would not recognize me.

"Don't be so flustered in your heart, the people here are swapping over and over again. I think that after you left, Lan Yuan has already gone through a great clean-up once. Where are we going now? "

"Go find Elder Lu. We have a pretty good relationship. He was also a commander under the Vermillion Bird back then, so I'm sure he'll be willing to submit."

"I heard from that Withered Bone River's elder that those elders are all fence-sitters. I wonder what kind of person Elder Lu is?"

"Don't worry about that, although Elder Lu does not have much power, his character is unquestionable. I think even if he has already joined under Lan Yuan's tutelage, he would have no other choice." There weren't many elders that Lan Yuan had seen before, and this Elder Lu was one of them.

"That's good." Hearing Sheng Ze's words, Qi Tianyu was relieved, it was not because he was being too careful, but because this matter involved too many people, Xu Ling, Chen Shi and Fang Min were all waiting for him, he could not afford to miss out.

When the two of them arrived at Elder Lu's house, the guard at the door recognized Sheng Ze at a glance, and excitedly went forward to greet them. "Elder Sheng Ze, you've finally appeared.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. I want to see your Elder Lu, quickly take me." Sheng Ze waved his hands, interrupting the guard's words.

The guard did not feel awkward either. Instead, he nodded excitedly and said: "Alright, Elder Sheng Ze, this way, please."

The guard led Sheng Ze in, as if he didn't notice Qi Tianyu at all, and treated him as a transparent person. Qi Tianyu also didn't think much of it. On the contrary, he was just a nameless newbie in the Vermillion Bird forbidden zone, it was normal for him not to know him. It was just that he did not expect Sheng Ze to suddenly become unhappy, and coldly looked at the guard: "Are you blind?! You don't even recognize Emperor Zhu Tian anymore!"

"Emperor Zhu Tian? Where? "Where?" The guard looked around, and then focused his gaze on Qi Tianyu: "It can't be you!"

Qi Tianyu shrugged and did not deny it. The guard was even more excited as he shouted, "Heavens, what luck did I have today? Not only did I see the famous Elder Sheng Ze, I also saw the long dead Great Emperor Zhu Tian."

Died long ago? The muscles on Qi Tianyu's face twitched, he didn't know what to say.

The guards' cries attracted the attention of the people in the residence, and so did Elder Lu who was cultivating himself. When he heard Sheng Ze and Great Emperor Zhu Tian's names, he thought it was some crazy person shouting like a ghost, and was just about to go out and teach him a lesson, when he saw Sheng Ze and Qi Tianyu standing there.

His face immediately changed and he almost went limp, "Elder Sheng Ze, I didn't think that you were still alive!"

These words caused Sheng Ze to frown. Indeed, when he left with his people, he did not inform them of his whereabouts, but he had never mentioned that he had passed away.

"Elder Lu, what do you mean?"

"Not long after Elder Sheng Ze left, Lan Yuan said that you had already lost your life to Lord Vermillion Bird." Elder Lu said as he brought Sheng Ze into the room.

"I truly do have quite a bit of courage when he says those words. Yet, you all actually believed him."

"I didn't believe it at first either. There were a few other elders who'd joined up and wanted to find you, but they were all rejected by Elder Blue. We believed in the absence of any news about you after a long time." The gaze in which he looked at Sheng Ze was filled with respect and gratification. From the side, Qi Tianyu could also feel his sincerity, and it seemed that he was indeed someone that could be used.

"This dog thief, I actually didn't notice his fox tail at all, and told him to be arrogant until now." Sheng Ze said as he gnashed his teeth.

Elder Lu saw that Sheng Ze was suddenly angry, and for some reason, he looked at him suspiciously, causing Qi Tianyu to explain the ins and outs of what happened.

The more Elder Lu listened, the more incredulous he became. "That's impossible. Elder Blue was indeed swift and decisive when she was just in power, but he was loyal to Lord Vermillion Bird before. How could he be the one to harm Lord Vermillion Bird?"

"This was indeed all told to me by the elder from Withered Bone River. I think that you probably didn't forget about Withered Bone River, right? There's no need for him to lie to me.

"I wonder if you're talking about someone with long, thin hair and a mole on his forehead?" Hearing Qi Tianyu's words, Elder Lu's description was very similar to his own close friend at that time.

"Yes, on his left temple." Qi Tianyu immediately nodded.

He pinched a corner of the table and painfully said: "My old friend, my old friend, I only thought that you were sacrificed to create the array formation at the entrance of the Vermillion Bird forbidden zone, I never thought that you would actually hide such a big secret from me."

"Have you all never been to that Withered Bone River before?"

"That place is heavily guarded. Lan Yuan never lets anyone who isn't under his command approach that place. How can we possibly get that close?" Elder Lu shook his head sadly. He was extremely regretful that he had been kept in the dark all these years and treated Lan Yuan as a dog for nothing.1

"This dog thief must die, I came out this time to seek your help. Elder Lu, as long as you guys support me, pushing that dog thief is a piece of cake." Sheng Ze said from the side.

"Elder Sheng Ze, you have been ignoring worldly affairs for so many years, the situation outside has changed. Today, no one can oppose Lan Yuan in the Vermillion Bird forbidden zone. His actions are extremely mysterious. Ever since he came up on stage, he had his men frequently recruited talents from all over the Vermillion Bird forbidden zone, including from Shang Ling City and other places. Moreover, all of these people have been loyal to him and have long since grasped almost all of the Vermillion Bird forbidden zone's power. " Elder Lu sighed. All these years, he had done nothing, and only curried favor under Lan Yuan's banner for the position of an elder with no actual authority.

"That's because he used the Soul-taking Arts. As long as he breaks the technique on him, he would no longer be able to control their minds, and he would lose his power and influence."

Sheng Ze's words caused Elder Lu to be even more surprised, "He actually mastered such a demonic technique, it was clearly prohibited by Lord Vermillion Bird back then."

"How could that traitor have any morals in his eyes? He has probably done even more heinous things behind his back all these years." Sheng Ze scoffed, full of disdain towards Lan Yuan.

"Elder Lu, we don't have much time right now, so we can only hurry up and pull Lan Yuan off his horse. He is secretly planning something big, but we don't know what it is yet, so time is of the essence. Can you gather all the trustworthy clan elders? With more people, there might be people who know the way to break the Soul-taking Arts. "

"Emperor Zhu Tian's words are reasonable. Elder Lu, quickly do it, it is not appropriate for Emperor Zhu Tian and I to appear now." Sheng Ze had complete trust in Qi Tianyu now.

"Yes, then please wait in the hut for Elder Sheng Ze and the Emperor Zhu Tian. I will do it right away." Elder Lu quickly stood up and without further ado, he formed a seal and left.
