Chapter 1525 The Arrival of the Unholy One (2)

Lu Zhou hovered in the air and looked down at the Qin Yuan. He asked with a frown, “What did you call me?”

Qin Yuan said with bright eyes, “I’m not mistaken! You, you’re the honorable Unholy One!”

Lu Zhou remained silent as he thought about why such dramatic things always happened to him.

Previously, it was the Lu clan back in the black lotus domain. At that time, Lu Qianshan had mistaken him for Lu Tiantong, the ancestor of the Lu clan. In fact, up until now, Lu Li was still convinced he was Lu Tiantong. He no longer bothered to explain himself.

Now, he was mistaken as the Unholy One. Moreover, this was not the first time. It started when he first met Ying Gou, one of the zombie kings. Then, there were signs from the Heavenly Writing, the Scripture of Sermons, the divine mark robe, the Hourglass of Time, and the appearance of Jie Jin’an. Many people, including those from the Great Void and orthodox path, viewed the Unholy One as a powerful enemy. On the contrary, the Qin Yuan in front of Lu Zhou seemed to be in awe. Regardless, he was not in a hurry to deny it.

Lu Zhou asked tonelessly, “How are you so sure I’m the Unholy One?”

“The Hourglass of Time, the divine dragon tendon that the robe was woven from, and even the Purple Glazed Ceramic belong to the Unholy One,” the Qin Yuan replied. “That doesn’t prove that I’m the Unholy One,” Lu Zhou said. After all, items could be passed down, lost, and found.

The Qin Yuan said, “Indeed, the items can change owners. However, the only person in the world who can survive the illusory formation from our Qin Yuan hive unscathed is the lord, the Unholy One!”

“Lord?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.

“My lord, you’re the most revered human of our Qin Yuan hive,” the Qin Yuan said.

“Most revered?” Lu Zhou was perplexed.

The Qin Yuan smiled. “It’s normal that you, my lord, are unaware of our Qin Yuan hive. There are so many Saint slayers in the world, after all. Not any Saint slayers can catch your eye. My lord, it seems like you’ve forgotten many things?”

Lu Zhou nodded.

“No wonder,” the Qin Yuan said. Then, she looked at the sky before she continued to say, “This is the reason I didn’t make a move earlier. Very few people can come here unscathed. Earlier, I ordered them to attack you because I wanted to probe you…”

Lu Zhou remained expressionless as he thought to himself, ‘That’s considered probing? If I manage to block it, I’m the highly revered Unholy One. If I couldn’t block, I’d be a pile of bones lying on the ground.’ The Qin Yuan continued to say, “I didn’t expect the Unholy One to come to Fragrant Valley. On behalf of the Qin Yuan hive, I pay my respects to the Unholy One!” The Qin Yuan landed on the ground and kneeled on one knee.

With that, the other Qin Yuans landed on the ground as well.

Lu Zhou landed on the ground slowly. He did not let his guard down; he still held the Deadly Strike Cards in his hand. Under normal circumstances, he did not like being mistaken for someone else and would have corrected the misunderstanding. However, this time… he had no choice. After all, the other party was an ancient Saint slayer. If he could use the identity of the Unholy One to deal with the other party easily, then it would be great. He could also use this chance to find out more about the Qin Yuan’s relationship with the Unholy One.

“Why are you kneeling?” Lu Zhou asked.

“The Unholy One has always been one of the humans that the Qin Yuan hive reveres. In ancient times, when I was young, I saw the Unholy One fight against the Four Autarchs. The clan only reveres experts,” the Qin Yuan said.

“The Four Autarchs are experts as well. Do you revere them as well?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Of course not,” the Qin Yuan said immediately, realizing it had misspoken, “At that time, the Four Autarchs attacked you for personal gains and to protect their positions. The Qin Yuan hive despises those kinds of ulterior motives. I don’t think your thinking is unorthodox. On the contrary, I believe that it’s a blessing to heaven and earth that you tried to create a new path of cultivation.”

The Qin Yuan’s words were consistent with what Lu Zhou had heard about the Unholy One. Then, he said tonelessly, “Rise.”

The Qin Yuan stood up along with the other Qin Yuans.

“Since you recognized me, I won’t hide it anymore,” Lu Zhou said in a dignified tone as he placed his hands on his back, “I’m the Unholy One.”

Although the Qin Yuan was an ancient Saint slayer, she was still rather emotional upon hearing these words. After standing up, she bowed again.

Lu Zhou continued to say with a straight face, “There are many things I don’t remember.”

‘Since so many people mistake me for the Unholy One, I’d just seize the opportunity for now and deny it when I meet the supreme beings in the Great Void. Although strength is important, intelligence and flexibility are equally as important.’

To prevent the Qin Yuan from becoming suspicious, Lu Zhou thought it was best to feign memory loss.

The Qin Yuan nodded and said, “No wonder, but it’s not important. It’s our honor that the Unholy One is here to visit our hive.” “Over the years, I’ve comprehended new techniques, and my appearance has also undergone changes. If you meet others, you must never reveal my identity,” Lu Zhou said.

“Of course,” the Qin Yuan said before turning to say to the others, “Whoever dares to reveal this matter will be killed without mercy.”

The other Qin Yuans buzzed in acknowledgment.

The Qin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, feeling more and more certain that the person in front of her was the Unholy One. After all, the Unholy One was the public enemy of the Great Void. Hence, it was necessary to conceal his identity.

At this moment, Lu Zhou asked, “The Qin Yuans are ancient Saint slayers. Why are all of you here?”

The Qin Yuan sighed and said, “The Qin Yuan hive was driven away by the other fierce beasts because we publicly supported the Unholy One’s ideology. At that time, the humans and the fierce beasts fought fiercely, and the Unholy One fought fiercely with the Great Void. In the end, the Qin Yuan hive had no choice but to live in seclusion in Fragrant Valley.”

“Support the Unholy… me?” Lu Zhou frowned.

The Qin Yuan smiled before she said, “The Unholy One created a new path of cultivation to break the shackles of heaven and earth with the Great Dao. It could’ve freed humans and fierce beasts alike, bringing peace and immortality to the world.”

“Immortality?” Lu Zhou asked before he added, “That’s in direct conflict with the law of conservation.”

“How can there be unchanging truths in the world? Cultivation itself is constantly breaking the various laws laid down by the heavens,” the Qin Yuan said.

Lu Zhou nodded. “Well said.”

“Thank you, my lord, for your praise,” the Qin Yuan said.

At this time, Lu Zhou remembered he had matters to attend to so he asked, “Since you agree with my ideology, do you have any objections about me cultivating here?”

The Qin Yuan said without any hesitation, “Of course not! It’s our hive’s honor! If one day, you decide to return to the Great Void, I hope you can help our Qin Yuan hive.”

“Alright.” Lu Zhou nodded.

The Qin Yuan said, “My lord, I have a question.”

“Speak.”

“My lord, you fought against four people in the past. Later on, rumors about your death began to circulate. Did you master the resurrection technique?” the Qin Yuan asked. “Indeed, that’s the case,” Lu Zhou said. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘One needs a thousand lies to cover up one lie. You better not ask me to help you resurrect something or someone.’

The Qin Yuan kneeled on one knee and said, “My lord, please help me resurrect my poor daughter.”

‘As expected…’

Lu Zhou calmly said, “The resurrection technique is really demanding. Currently, my cultivation is still recovering. The time is not right for me to resurrect others.”

“It doesn’t matter! I can afford to wait,” the Qin Yuan said.

Even a glimmer of hope was better than despair, after all.

Lu Zhou remained expressionless as he thought to himself, ‘I dug another big hole for myself…

Finally, Lu Zhou changed the topic and asked, “Apart from the Qin Yuan hive, are there other fierce beasts here?”

“It’s just us here. On the other side of the center point, there are humans. However, we, the Qin Yuan hive, don’t interfere in human affairs,” the Qin Yuan replied.

“You’ve never left over the past 100,000

years?”

“That’s right. We’ve never left Fragrant Valley,” the Qin Yuan replied with a nod.

Lu Zhou sighed. “To think you endured loneliness for so long.”

“It’s for the sake of our survival, after all. Furthermore, Fragrant Valley is much better than the outside world. There are mountains, rivers, and the fragrance of flowers. Since the Qin Yuan hive can live on the flowers and their fragrances, this is a good place for us,” the Qin Yuan said. Lu Zhou nodded. “This place is indeed not

bad.”

“My lord, I have another question,” the Qin Yuan said with barely contained excitement. After all, it was not easy to meet the Unholy One. She was determined to make the best out of this meeting. How could she let go of such a good opportunity?

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. However, he could only say, “Speak.” “Back then, when you fought with Great Void Emperor Ming Xin. At the time, who won the battle?” the Qin Yuan asked curiously. This was one of the questions many ancient cultivators were curious about.
