80 The Sinister Look Up At The Starry Sky (1/2)
“Stop this instance!”
Like the wind, a red and white youth entered the room. A hint of sneer hung on his windblown face.
“Interesting, a fraudster cult actually came to my place. This Blue River Region is certainly being controlled.”
The Publicity Envoy was startled. “Sire, may I know who you are?”
“Thank you for asking, I am your father.” Wang Lu held back his impulse to directly kill that person and replied with a fake smile. Before the villagers, he hoped that he could solve the problem peacefully, but it was hard for him not to vent the burning anger in his belly. Therefore, he channeled it through his eyes as he stared that Publicity Envoy.
However, this Mr. Zhou, who was sent here by the Seven Stars Sect, wasn’t going to make it easy for him. Although his legs had turned somewhat soft and felt his bladder numb under Wang Lu’s stare, his face was still calm. He ignored the opposite party’s rudeness, turned around and began to address the crowd.
“Ladies and gentleman, does anyone know who’s kid is this?”
In the beginning, the villagers didn’t immediately react. However, after a moment, some people had vaguely recognized him.
“Isn’t this kid… Little Lu?”
Hearing this, Master Wang was shocked; he immediately stood up. “Little Lu? It’s you!?”
Being called out by his dad, Wang Lu had no choice but to respond; he held out his hand. “Dad, sit down and be quiet. I want to expose this swindler first, and then we can have a nice chat.”
At this time, Mr. Zhou had realized who the person in front of him was. “Wang Lu? You’re that Wang Lu who went out to look for Immortality two years ago?”
Wang Lu sneered. “That’s right, do you have any advice?”
“I wouldn’t dare to give you advice…” Mr. Zhou said and then lightly laughed. “It’s just that, it seems like you have some prejudice against our Seven Stars Sect, no?”
“Prejudice? What a joke, would you have a prejudice if you see a dog sh*t?”
Mr. Zhou’s countenance suddenly changed. “How could a child like you have such a dirty mouth!? If you insult our Seven Stars Sect, beware when our Daoist Immortals come to strike you with calamity…” While speaking, his eyes glanced around. “It would implicate other people!”
This was another of his trick to mobilize the mass. Upon hearing his words, the Wang Family villagers immediately began to clamor.
“Little Lu, what are you doing?”
“Quickly apologize to Mr. Zhou!”
“You’re giving the whole village trouble!”
Hearing these protests, Wang Lu’s face turned dark; he snapped. “Shut up!”
His shout was like a thunder, it shook the roof that the dust on it fell down. All the villagers were immediately stunned into silence.
Even though he has just reached the seventh level Qi Cultivating Stage, in the mortal world, Wang Lu was already a divine character. In the military, he was a peerless brave general that commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. In the martial arts world, he was a supreme grandmaster. Thus, it was easy for him to frighten a group of mortals.
Actually, ninety percent of the killing intent from this shout was aimed at Mr. Zhou. However, this Publicity Envoy was not a common character. After his face turned red and then white, it came back to normal; with a sinking voice, he said, “I heard that more than two years ago, you and your errand boy went out to look for immortality. Looks like you have found it… Which sect did you do your obeisance into?”
Wang Lu thought that if he gave his sect’s name to this lowly swindler, it would harm his sect’s reputation, but if it could make this Seven Stars Sect withdraw, it actually saved a lot of troubles.
“Spirit Sword Sect.”
Mr. Zhou wrinkled his brows, thinking, “Spirit Sword Sect?” After a moment, he nodded his head. “It turns out you’re Spirit Sword Sect’s outstanding disciple, no wonder you have such a skill. But even Spirit Sword Sect has to listen to reason. You have insulted my Seven Stars Sect and overbearingly terrorized the innocent villagers. Aren’t these a bit… unreasonable?”
Wang Lu was shocked, thinking, “What the hell! Have you gone insane? After hearing the name Spirit Sword Sect, not only you didn’t obediently kneel, you even want to argue with me? What a foolhardy you are! When this old man braved the Small Clear Sky Peak with that dead fatty, I wasn’t even this daring!”
Admittedly, in theory, even a big shot has to listen to reason. However, from many big shots in the entire Nine Regions, who was the most reasonable? The fist is the reason; the harder the fist, the more reasonable the argument is! No matter how deteriorated the Spirit Sword Sect was, in then end, it was still one of the top five sects. Not to mention the ten Elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall, even a senior disciple could trample one hundred Seven Stars Sects at will! And this Publicity Envoy wanted to reason with the Spirit Sword Sect? Did he even fit to do that!?
However, before this Mr. Zhou, who wouldn’t stop until someone truly killed him, Wang Lu suddenly became interested. “Oh? You want to reason with me?”
Mr. Zhou became uncomfortable under the stare of that youngster, but he steeled himself. “That’s right, I want to reason with you. Just now, you insulted my Seven Stars Sect, there must be a reason for that.”
Wang Lu smiled. “Reason? Does Spirit Sword Sect need a reason to stomp on people? Very well, I’m going to be honest with you. It’s because you’re deceiving common people; isn’t this reasonable enough?”
“Oh, when did I deceive people?” Mr. Zhou laughed and began to mobilize the mass, “Ladies and gentlemen, do you think you have been deceived by me?”
The ignorant villagers echoed one another, “Definitely not, Mr. Zhou!”
“That’s right, we heard your words about the difference between the path of Immortality and the path of mortal so that we, ordinary villagers, become enlightened!”
“Mr. Zhou, you said our family’s Gou also has Immortal Cultivation’s spirit root; I absolutely believe you!”
“Little Lu, stop making a scene here!”
Wang Lu knitted his brows and then lashed out with his shout, “All of you, shut up! You, surnamed Zhou, don’t shield behind these ignorant folks so that you can ‘fish in troubled water’, otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
This was not a mere intimidation; the naked killing intent forced Mr. Zhou’s heart to beat faster.
“Very well, then can sire please tell where exactly the lie that I told to deceive the people!”
“Just by your sentence. You said everyone could become an Immortal, but if everyone can truly become an Immortal, why has there no new Daoist Immortals emerging in recent years?”
Who knew that Mr. Zhou actually laughed and his composure apparently has returned. “Good question. This issue actually perplexes the Immortal Cultivation World for thousands of years. In the past, people believed that affinity to immortality is foreordained by the heaven. Only a few lucky one that was bestowed with spirit root by the heaven can walk on the Immortal Path. But actually, that’s absurd. Heaven is impartial; it gives everyone equal opportunity; it’s just us who hasn’t discover it yet. Well, not until our Seven Stars Sect’s Patriarch, Daoist Master Shen He, made a breakthrough and invented the Seven Stars Pill, which can open the gate to the Immortal Path for everyone!”
Wang Lu suddenly laughed. “You’re spitting on your own face! In the beginning, your Seven Stars Sect sold the expensive Six Harmonies Pills; why is it that you don’t have your Seven Stars Pills in your cache of Spirit Root Development Pill? What has the Patriarch Liu He of the Shengjing Sect, who invented the Six Harmonies Pills that can turn ordinary people into Immortal Cultivator, got to do with your Patriarch, the Damn Wretch [1] Shen He? You even dare to pull the Shengjing Sect’s tail?”
