Chapter 1694: The Ten Classics (1)

Following Cult Leader Zhou’s lead, the cultivators around the palanquin kneeled in the air and greeted Lu Zhou in unison.

Cult Leader Zhou was an ancient cultivator who had witnessed the Great Void War in the past. He had a high position in the congregation and was highly respected. He had experienced the land splitting and witnessed the tragedy of countless lives being lost and the rivers of blood that flowed. When he was a child, he had watched the Unholy One, the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain, who stood high above all supreme beings, from a distance near the mountain.

Now that 100,000 years had passed, the world was about to change again. The Unholy One had come back to life!

Due to the commotion, members of the Nihilist Congregation rushed out of various ancient buildings. Before they arrived, they had already seen the mysterious person in the sky whose body was covered with electric arcs, hovering next to the Heavenly Dao Flag. Then, they saw the cultivators in the air who were kneeling and crying out, “Welcome back, my god!”

Swish!

The Heavenly Dao Flag continued to billow in the wind.

The cultivators who had just arrived looked at the flag and Lu Zhou in confusion, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Cult Leader Zhou’s said in a deep and thunderous voice, “Kneel.”

As the head of the four cult leaders, Cult Leader Zhou had the authority and strength to command everyone.

With just one word, the confused cultivators kneeled one after another. When they regained their senses, their hearts trembled with excitement, and their legs weakened.

“Un… Unholy One?”

There were no words to describe the excitement of the members of the Nihilist Congregation at this moment. Whether they were true believers or not before this, at this moment, all of them had turned into the most loyal and devout believers!

After a few moments, the electric arcs on Lu Zhou’s body finally disappeared.

The Heavenly Dao Flag had also calmed down.

Initially, Lu Zhou planned to take back the Heavenly Dao Flag, but after he probed it, he discovered that it had already taken root in the ruins. Hence, he decided to give up on it. First, it was just a formation flag. Unlike weapons, it could not be used while one was moving. Second, he already had the void-grade Unnamed. If one day, he decided to build a new territory like Grand Mystic Mountain, it would not be too late to return and snatch it away. All in all, it was of no use to him now.

After everything calmed down, Lu Zhou slowly descended and landed in front of Cult Leader Zhou before he surveyed his surroundings.

Everyone was kneeling silently, too afraid to breathe loudly.

Cult Leader Zhou gulped before he mustered up his courage and said, “L-lord Unholy One, I, I didn’t expect you to come! I, I was blind! Please forgive me!”

At this moment, a thunderous voice rang from nearby.

“Chu Lian, the Cult Leader of the Nihilist Congregation’s western division, pays respect to the lord!”

With this, Lu Zhou thought of something. He glanced at the incoming figure before he asked, “Where’s the Cult Master?”

Apart from the four cult leaders, among which one had died, there was also the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation.

‘Where’s he? Is he questioning my status?’

Cult Leader Zhou hurriedly said, “My lord, please calm down. The cult master was severely injured in the early years, and he’s not in the ruins. If he were here, he would definitely come out to welcome you.”

“Really?”

“My lord, your power is unrivaled! No one in the congregation can escape your eyes. How would I dare to lie to you?”

Lu Zhou was slightly disappointed. To be able to create the congregation during the land-splitting era, the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation had to be a top figure. He had hoped to use his identity as the Unholy One to pull such a person to his side.

After all, the situation in the Great Void now was not stable. Lu Zhou did not know when his conflict with the Sacred Temple would explode. Before that happened, he had to consolidate his strength and recruit experts. The ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion were not enough. Even if he had the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands on his side, he could only fight to a draw at best.

Lu Zhou asked, “Then, who makes the decision in the congregation now?”

“Me!” Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu said at the same time. Then, the duo looked at each other for a long time.

The delicate balance between the four cult leaders was not a secret.

Finally, Chu Lian said, “Cult Leader Du…”

Before Chu Lian could finish his words, one of the blood shamans hurriedly interjected in a clear voice, “Cult Leader Du was presumptuous and offended the Great Unholy One. As such, he was executed on the spot!”

“…”

Chu Lian was shocked. He wanted to say something but found that his mouth was extremely dry. If he even had a little doubt before this, it had completely vanished at this time.

Cult Leader Du was the top blood shaman in the Nihilist Congregation; he was an expert among experts.

Meanwhile, Cult Leader Zhou’s thumped loudly in his chest. His body was hot and numb, but his back was drenched in cold sweat.

‘There’s really no doubt he’s the Unholy One!’

After a moment, Cult Leader Zhou said, “My lord, please come to the hall for a chat.”

…

In the Nihilism Hall.

The building had been rebuilt from one of the ancient buildings on the ancient battlefield. It was not as grand and magnificent as the ten halls, but it had a simple and elegant charm to it.

Lu Zhou sat on the highest seat and looked at the people in the hall.

The solemn atmosphere made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

At this time, Cult Leader Zhou brought a cup of tea over to Lu Zhou. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking non-stop.

Lu Zhou glanced at Cult Leader Zhou and asked, “Are you very nervous?”

Cult Leader Zhou nodded awkwardly before he said, “Since the lord has returned, I, I’m just very excited…”

Lu Zhou pointed at the seat next to him and said, “Sit.”

Cult Leader Zhou set the teacup down and hurried to his seat.

Lu Zhou’s eyes seemed to burn with fire as he said calmly, “I’ve always been very reasonable and act with propriety. I hope all of you won’t be like Cult Leader Du.”
