Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe were both concealed by the Purple Glazed Ceramic. Under normal circumstances, they would not have been discovered. However, who knew the other party would have a dog's nose? They exchanged a glance before they tapped their feet lightly on the branch and flew out. The cold wind blew, causing their long hair to flutter in the air.

Lan Xihe hovered in the air, looking at the two cultivators calmly, while Lu Zhou hovered in the air on the left side.

Amidst the fierce and frosty wind and the sounds of flying beasts flapping their wings and the heavy footfalls of the fierce beasts on the ground, the two sides looked at each other vigilantly and sized each other up.

Most cultivators who came to the Unknown Land came with the purpose of searching for treasures. People died for treasures while the beasts died for food. This has been the truth since time immemorial. Apart from that, how could those who came to the Unknown Land and survive the harsh environment be a weakling?

The two cultivators looked at the man and the woman in front of them

The man standing on the left was dressed in a Daoist robe. He had a steady temperament, his eyes were deep, and his expression was calm. The woman standing next to him was not inferior either. Her expression was calm like a pool of still water. A hint of killing intent could even be seen in her eyes.

The two cultivators wondered why the pair of man and woman were hiding. In the end, they maintained their composure and did not panic. Since the duo did not make a move, they still had a chance to explain themselves and resolve this peacefully. Although the law of the jungle applied in most situations, it was not inflexible. There were no eternal enemies in the world.

One of the cultivators took the initiative to speak first. "May I ask for your names?"

Lu Zhou did not answer the question. Instead, he asked in return, "Are both of you from the green lotus domain?"

The two cultivators grew even more cautious. However, they did not lie.

"Yes," the cultivator replied truthfully. After all, he had just manifested his avatar. "Are you here to look for the mystic life grass as well?"

Lu Zhou could naturally see that the two cultivators were wary. He said, "There's no need to be nervous. I don't care about a mere mystic life grass…"

As soon as Lu Zhou's voice fell, the two cultivators exchanged a look.

'This man can really f*cking act. Indeed, cultivators are all liars. Well, at least, it seems like they're not going to commit daylight robbery...'

"Since you're not looking for the mystic life grass, we have no conflict. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. After all, the Unknown Land is incredibly dangerous. Farewell."

The two cultivators did not say much; they did not want to get into unnecessary trouble. Their goal was to look for the mystic life grass, after all, not killing people. After they finished speaking, they cupped their fists at Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe before they turned to leave.

"Hold on," Lu Zhou called out, stopping them.

Lan Xihe glanced at Lu Zhou from the corners of her eyes. She did not expect Lu Zhou to be even calmer than her.

Lu Zhou recalled the two cultivators' conversation earlier. They had spoken about the Young Master of the Qin clan and the Four Great Ghost Servants. Since he had already made an enemy out of the Qin clan, how could he let go of such an opportunity to learn more about his enemy? Thus, he asked, "What's the background of the Young Master Qin you mentioned earlier?"

The two people were startled by Lu Zhou's question. They turned around and hastily said, "We two brothers were only speaking nonsense earlier. It's fine you overheard our conversation, but you can't take it seriously."

Lu Zhou stared at the two cultivators and said, "That child is so young, but he already has nine Birth Charts. The Qin clan also has Four Great Ghost Servants who are so powerful. All of them are so outstanding. I've been looking for him everywhere, but I couldn't find him. Are you sure you don't know anything?"

The two cultivators exchanged a look again. Based on Lu Zhou's tone, it seemed unlikely that he was a member of the Qin clan. Therefore, one of them said with a hint of impatience, "Qin Moshang, the Young Master of the Qin clan, is a genius. He's one of the best among the younger generation in the Qin clan. He's also the successor that Venerable Master Qin thinks highly of. Many people know about this so you can ask around…"

Lu Zhou muttered, "Qin Moshang..."

"I heard that Qin Moshang and the ghost servant went to the Unknown Land half a year ago and were injured by the fierce beasts. One of them died, and one of them lost a Birth Chart. If you've been searching for him for a long time, you should know this…" the other cultivator said with a mocking smile. He was now certain Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe were not from the Qin clan.

"Of course, I know that."

The two cultivators nodded. However, inwardly, they were cursing.

'If you already know about it, why would you ask? The more you talk, the more I feel you're looking for trouble!'

Following that, Lu Zhou said in a dark tone, "That brat tried to ambush me. He's lucky I only destroyed his Birth Chart."

"..."

The two cultivators were stunned. Thousands of thoughts and all kinds of speculations about the identity of the person in front of them flitted past their minds immediately. This was rather unbelievable and shocking!

Lan Xihe turned to look at Lu Zhou and said in surprise, "Pavilion Master Lu actually has connections with the people of the green lotus domain?"

Lu Zhou nodded but did not provide an explanation.

Lan Xihe suddenly felt the matter was quite interesting. Therefore, she only stood silently at the side and watched.

One of the cultivators said, "Are you joking? It's not wise to offend the Qin clan."

The other cultivator asked, "May I know your name, sir?"

He was really curious about this person who claimed to have destroyed Qin Moshang's Birth Chart but still remained unafraid of retribution from the Qin clan. He was sure the person in front of him must belong to a force far more formidable than the Qin clan so he wanted to know his name.

Lu Zhou looked at the two of them and did not answer the question.

Then, after exchanging a look, one of them said, "I'm Wei Jingye."

"I'm Wei Jiangnan."

Only then did Lu Zhou say, "My surname is Lu…"

"Lu?"

The two cultivators racked their brains but could recall any big shot with the surname Lu.

Lu Zhou took the initiative to say, "I'm not from the green lotus domain…"

As soon as these words fell, Wei Jingye and Wei Jiangnan retreated a few meters instantly as Primal Qi began to surge in the surroundings.

The atmosphere that had already calmed down suddenly turned a little tense.

At this time, Wei Jingye had already mobilized his energy.

On the other hand, Wei Jiangnan placed a hand on Wei Jingye's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly. We don't know if they're foes or friends yet. In fact, there are many things we still don't know…"

Wei Jingye nodded and withdrew the energy seals on his body.

Following that, Wei Jiangnan forced a smile on his face and said, "Since we're traveling on different paths, let's pretend our paths didn't intersect today. Farewell."

Swoosh!

At this moment, the dense fog in the sky suddenly parted. Following that, the fierce beast that looked like a Devil Fish dove from the sky with its maw opened. Its tail stirred up a violent wind at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Wei Jiangnan cried out, "Let's go!"

Whoosh!

The fierce beast blocked the duo's path with its wings, forcing them to move in front of Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe.

"Should we kill it?" Wei Jingye said.

"No, this beast king is too big. We won't be able to kill it in a short time. If we alarm the beast emperor in the depths of the forest, we won't be able to escape," Wei Jiangnan replied with a shook of his head.

Wuuu!

A low noise rang in the air as soon as Wei Jiangnan's words fell.

"It has alerted the others ."

On the land below, the sounds of fierce beasts stampeding on the ground rang in the air. It sounded as though tens of thousands of horses were galloping at the same time.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Devil Fish-like fierce beasts flapped its wings, and a fierce wind began to rage immediately.

"Astrolabe."

The duo raised their hands at the same time and held their green astrolabes up in front of them.

At this time, Lan Xihe said, "Pavilion Master Lu, we can't stay here any longer. Let's go. Otherwise, we won't make it in time…"

The runic passage in the depths of this place showed its great value at this moment. However, there was still a distance between this place and the runic passage.

Bang!

The enormous wings moved ad fast as lightning as it struck the green astrolabes with an earth-shattering sound.

"This is bad!"

Wei Jingye and Wei Jiangnan's expressions turned solemn when they saw the fierce beasts from every direction gathering near them.

Lu Zhou looked at the beast king silently.

Wuuu!

The beast king turned around and swept its tail around. More than ten peaks were destroyed with just a sweep of its tail.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rocks rolled down the mountains, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Lu Zhou remained unmoving.

On the other hand, Lan Xihe had already brought the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel out, letting it revolve around her.

"The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel?" Wei Jiangnan and Wei Jingye said in surprise.

Lan Xihe was slightly taken aback that the duo recognized the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel.

Bang!

At this moment, Wei Jingye and Wei Jiangnan were pushed back by the huge force. They flew back in the air and arrived behind Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe. Then, they said, "Don't fight! Don't use energy seals as well…"

The duo knew about the rule of survival in this place. Human cultivators were like tender sheep amidst a pack of wolves in this place. Even if the wolf pack could not see them, as long as they made the slightest noise and attracted attention to themselves, they would end up in the wolves' bellies.
