After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

The second possibility is that Zhu Jiuyin is still alive.

The problem is, if Zhu Jiuyin were still alive, why would Zhu Bo join Houtu's camp? And judging from Houtu's attitude towards Zhu Jiuyin, it's clear that after Zhu Jiuyin's death, she considered Zhu Bo one of her own.

Zhou Yan felt he had fallen into a mental deadlock.

It's like Zhou Qiyan has two fiancées to choose from, but before he can choose, his butler tells him that one of them is his own sister, and if he chooses the wrong one, he'll be in big trouble.

But what the housekeeper didn't tell Zhou Yan was that his other fiancée was his own daughter.

That's right, Zhou Yan felt that choosing either Lu Wu or Zhu Jiuyin would be a mistake.

Neither of these two people is trustworthy, but I have to choose between them.

Chapter Ten: Beware of Zhu Jiuyin

After Lu Wu eliminated the last bit of discord, Zhou Yan had already disappeared without a trace in this sea area.

Lu Wu stared intently at the spot where Zhou Yan had disappeared.

Just a few seconds later, Lu Wu turned to look at Ying Zhao beside him, who hadn't made any moves while he and Zhou Yan were fighting.

Yingzhao chuckled awkwardly, his two front paws nervously lifting and lowering on the ground.

Lu Wu had done Ying Zhao a favor, and Zhou Yan, being a Bai Ze, was someone Ying Zhao didn't want to offend at all. Therefore, when these two great divine beasts fought, Ying Zhao could only pretend to be dead or act as if he didn't exist.

Fortunately, the current outcome is good. Zhou Yan escaped, and Lu Wu was not injured. Otherwise, whether it was Zhou Yan or Lu Wu who achieved a complete victory, Ying Zhao would not have fared well.

"Xiao Qiao..."

Lu Wu's expression softened somewhat.

Before Lu Wu could continue speaking, Ying Zhao hurriedly interrupted him.

"Although I don't want to admit it, and I don't want to open my eyes to an environment I don't recognize at all, boss, times have changed."

Yingjue Liu "q:∈浯榴～．‰娰∩招 A little dared not look into Lu Wu's eyes.

"Humanity has created its own future, and everyone is doing well, so let's not impose our will on ordinary people."

Lu Wu remained silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Xiao Qiao, you really don't want to follow me anymore."

No matter how much Yingzhao says or how valid his reasons are, Lu Wu can tell that Yingzhao means he's giving up.

Lu Wu can do whatever he wants; He won't interfere.

Yingzhao lowered her head, her wings drooping, looking utterly listless.

"Big Sister... I'm getting old."

Yingzhao is no longer as energetic as she was when she was young. Now, Yingzhao just wants to open a flower shop in the countryside where there are no major conflicts, drink and chat with a group of people whose vision is limited to their own street every day, and travel during holidays when she is bored.

As for other things like conquering the world and becoming a superior person, they're meaningless.

You have plenty of food and drink, so why do you have to sit on other people's heads and act arrogantly, wanting others to envy and flatter you? Don't you feel tired?

"Click...la...la..."

Many cracks appeared on Lu Wu's face as he stared at Yingzhao.

Hearing the sound, Yingzhao looked up and stared in astonishment at the marks on Lu Wu's face.

Lu Wu touched his face and frowned.

"Ugly!"

The crack wasn't symmetrical, which made Lu Wu very uncomfortable.

"Boss, you..."

Lu Wu lowered his hand from his face and sighed.

"If I don't want to follow, then I don't want to follow. Anyway, I probably won't come to the human world to fight for power with the government of this world."

Yingzhao looked on incredulously.

Yingzhao was a lazy bum by nature, so after her impetuous youth ended, she began to pursue a simple and peaceful life.

Lu Wu is a natural leader, wanting to control everything and make everything he controls operate according to his will.

Forcing Lu Wu to do Yingzhao with such late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder would definitely be a thankless task.

With such obsessive-compulsive tendencies, how could Lu Wu possibly give up the glorious task of ruling humanity?

Lu Wu's face began to crumble, and chunks of dust, like stone powder, fell from his face.

"Don't look at me like that. A lot happened while I was dead... which forced me to... Anyway, Xiao Qiao, you'll find out later..."

Lu Wu's head turned to dust and fell to the ground, followed by his neck and below.

Various kinds of dust kept falling from the ends of Lu Wu's sleeves.

Yingzhao opened her mouth in surprise.

In an effort to revive Lu Wu, Ying Zhao used various immortal plants and even pills made from them to activate Lu Wu's physical activity after his death, but all attempts failed.

Lu Wu's death was so complete that no matter how hard Ying Zhao tried, she could not revive him.

However, failure is not meaningless. After conducting various drug experiments on Lu Wu, Ying Zhao gained a great deal of understanding of Lu Wu's drug resistance and stress effects. As a result, Ying Zhao couldn't understand why Lu Wu's body was now starting to break down.

I don't understand, didn't Lu Wu search for the Candle Dragon Lamp at Zhangwei Mountain?

Why is Lu Wu's body still inside this underwater island?

In addition to what Lu Wu had said before, that he no longer pursued power in the human world, Ying Zhao clearly sensed that something terrible was growing and brewing wildly in a place she didn't know about.

"besides……"

Before his torso completely collapsed, Lu Wu, now headless, spoke again.

Yingzhao didn't know what method Lu Wu was using to speak, but she could hear Lu Wu's voice.

"That Bai Ze... he's still my fiancé... tell Bai Ze..."

"Beware of Zhu Jiuyin..."

"Be careful……"

Lu Wu's open lips paused; he wanted to say something, but the words remained unspoken.

The secrets of heaven must not be revealed.

……

A deserted coastline.

In his mythical form, Zhou Yan, covered in white fur, burst forth from beneath the water, carrying with him a large amount of water and creating a small circle of scattered gold fragments around him.

"call……"

Zhou Yan landed on the ground with all four paws. As soon as he exhaled, Zhou Yan instinctively began to shake like a cat or dog with water on its body, splashing water off Zhou Yan.

Halfway through the swinging motion, Zhou Yan suddenly sensed something, stopped swinging his body, and only added the keyword "water control" to his attribute panel.

Zhou Yan controlled a large amount of water to flow from his body, and soon his fur became dry, soft, and fluffy.

Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Wu was indeed the top true god of the previous era, but so what? Bai Ze may not be strong in combat, but he is first-rate at escaping.

Back then, Zhou Yan was surrounded and beaten by more than a dozen powerful True Gods in the South Heavenly Gate and still managed to escape. Lu Wu, on the other hand, was all alone. If Zhou Yan wanted to run away, Lu Wu couldn't stop him.

That is, my fiancée...

When Zhou Yan was talking to Lu Wu earlier, he was frightened by Lu Wu's mention of "fiancé" and his mind was filled with thoughts of the Heavenly Emperor waiting to see him make a fool of himself. Now that he has escaped, Zhou Yan has begun to sense that something is wrong.

Lu Wu's awakening level is only 85%. Even if his combat power is very high due to his divine position, Zhu Bo, the eldest son of Zhu Jiuyin, should not have been able to be killed by Lu Wu.

Back then, outside Luomen City, Zhu Bo died with a "wife sword" stuck between his eyebrows. Afterwards, Zhou Yan went to see Zhu Bo, but Zhu Bo was wary of the owner of the "wife sword" and did not have any conflict with Zhou Yan.

Therefore, Zhou Yan can be certain that the combat power of the owner of "Old OUsO:、○Old 肆∧隣♂「泤糁,芜私婆剑" should be able to easily suppress Zhu Bo.

Lu Wu's fighting prowess in front of the Omniscient One was, if not inferior to Zhu Bo, certainly not enough to defeat him.

The owner of the "Wife Sword," the one whom even Zhu Bo feared, might not be Lu Wu.

Who is that?

Surely the one who revived Lu Wu isn't the owner of the "Wife Sword"?

How come this matter is becoming more and more confusing?

Zhou Yan stretched out his little paws and scratched his head.

The mighty Bai Ze, clearly the representative of omniscience, yet Zhou Yan felt utterly lost and unable to see anything.

Even though I know what's happening in places I don't know, and I know these things might concern me, I just don't know how to get this information.

Is this truly a scene orchestrated by the gods?

It might even be a deity who had clashed with him a few times before, which is why they've resurrected Lu Wu, while he remains completely clueless and knows nothing about it.

Zhou Yan shook a clod of soil in front of him, and then a tender green sprout emerged from beneath the soil.

Normally, a tender bud grows very slowly after pushing through the soil, perhaps only growing a few centimeters today. But the tender bud in front of Zhou Yan, which had pushed through the soil, stretched out its delicate green body under the sunlight very quickly. Two green leaves opened up, and flower buds grew from the tips of the buds. Crimson flowers bloomed from the torn flower buds.

A faint fragrance lingered around Zhou Yan's nose.

how to say?

It seems to say that this flower is one of the plant's reproductive organs, but why do humans smell so bad while this flower smells so good?

Zhou Yan looked the flower up and down, not because it was beautiful, but because it had a skill in its attribute panel—Yingzhao Avatar.

These flowers are plants catalyzed by Yingzhao's consciousness projection.

"Cough cough..."

The flower trembled a few times, followed by Yingzhao's cough.

The cough sounded like a "hello" inquiry made on the phone to confirm if the other party heard him, followed by Yingzhao speaking normally.

"Your Excellency, are you there?"

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement.

"Brother Qiao, let me tell you, I know you owe Lu Wu a lot, but if you dare to help Lu Wu against me, I'll make scarves out of Yingzhao leather this year, and I'll also make a pair of Yingzhao socks for each of my pets! I mean what I say!"

Yingzhao was, after all, just a gardener who looked after the Heavenly Emperor's garden, and his combat power was very poor. Even Wuqu Star could find ways to kill Yingzhao. Although Zhou Yan was not a true god of combat, if he wanted to, he could easily subdue Yingzhao.

"Heh, Your Majesty, don't worry. Sister Lu Wu has left. She seems to be going to do something very important and doesn't have time for us for the time being."

Zhou Yan began to understand.

"So you've come to deliver good news?"

If Lu Wu has left and Ying Zhao has come to deliver good news, then it makes sense.

However, this news has both good and bad aspects. On the one hand, Lu Wu's energy is temporarily diverted, and he can't take care of things on my side, so I won't be under Lu Wu's pressure for a while.

The bad news is that Zhou Yan doesn't know what Lu Wu is going to do, but it certainly won't be anything good.

It's like knowing your boss likes to write, but not knowing that your boss likes to write the character "正" (zhèng, meaning upright) on your subordinates' thighs.

The meaning changes instantly simply because it's written in a different place.

Zhou Yan was genuinely a little afraid that he would become "righteous" in the future.

"Well, it's not exactly good news. Besides the departure of Sister Lu Wu, I have some bad news to share. Would you like to hear it, Your Highness?"

Zhou Yan touched his chin with his paw. Hmm, his hand was covered in white fur, it felt so good.

"explain."

"Before Sister Lu Wu left, she asked me to leave you, Your Majesty, a message, saying that..."

Yingzhao on the other side took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled her words.

"...Be careful...Zhu Jiuyin..."

Zhou Yan tightened his three claws as they landed, his sharp nails digging into the ground.

Be careful... Zhu Jiuyin...

This statement contains a lot of information.

The flowers in front of Zhou Yan began to wither, their petals fell, their leaves turned yellow, and soon they collapsed to the ground, withered and lifeless.
