519: A new beginning!

“Can Evil One do it for him?”

“It’s alright.”

Lu Bai, of course, knew this. Both the evil monarch mask and Liu Qiqi, who was sent to Dao Asking Sect, were from the person in front of him.

It's no exaggeration to say that it effectively thwarted the Heaven and Earth Evil Sect's conspiracy.

When Liu Qiqi's identity was openly revealed, attracting the attention of Buddhist forces and the Great Zhou government, the Heaven and Earth Evil Sect would find it extremely difficult to proceed with their plans.

But Lu Bai felt... it could be even better.

“Senior, you’re here not just to meet an old friend, or to revisit an old place, are you?”

Lu Bai smiled slightly, changing the subject.

“The Great Zhou doesn't just have many Holy Lands on the surface; even its underworld has its own rules. This item is a wanted poster circulated among the dark forces.”

“Sect Master, you’ve topped the list. Even Nirvana Realm assassins would be tempted by this bounty.” Evil One pulled out the wanted poster.

Lu Bai took it and looked, this…

This bounty, let alone any Nirvana Realm assassins, even he himself would be tempted!

Nine Sacred Artifacts of choice, seven Saint Grade techniques, five Saint Grade Spirit Medicine—this made Lu Bai himself want to capture himself to claim the bounty.

“As long as Sect Master does not leave Saint Spirit State, with the Domain Lords Mansion and the Central Domain Holy Land, even the Seven Kill Gate cannot intervene.”

Evil One looked at the silent Lu Bai, comforting him.

Besides seeing the current Dao Asking Sect, he came here for one thing: to inform Lu Bai of this matter, and he naturally understood the pressure it would bring.

“If there are no other matters, I will leave first. With my current identity, staying here will only bring trouble to the Sect.”

Evil One looked around, his eyes full of nostalgia. Although this was not the old site of Dao Asking Sect, it had more of that essence than the original Dao Asking Sect.

Flourishing, bursting with infinite vitality, he saw the hope of the Sect's rise in such an Dao Asking Sect, and in the White-robed Youth before him!

“Yes, Senior, there is.” Lu Bai smiled.

Evil One's eyes slowly widened: “...”

He was just being polite, and you actually have something!

Lu Bai, of course, really had something.

Now that the Central Domain Holy Lands were here, and with the assassination Holy Land's bounty, which even the former feared, Lu Bai felt some pressure.

Naturally, he also needed some other means, such as the Zhou Tian Star Array.

“Star Stones, Sun Moon Saint Stones? Such Saint Grade items are regarded as treasures even by the Central Domain Holy Lands. Sect Master, this…”

Evil One took a deep breath. He hadn't expected his Sect Master to be so… gluttonous right from the start!

“The current Dao Asking Sect is at a critical juncture of a change unseen in a thousand years. I need information on these two Materials to set up… a Saint Grade Formation capable of slaying Nirvana Realm Saints.” Lu Bai said with a solemn expression.

After confirming that the other party was from Dao Asking Sect, Lu Bai didn't hide such ordinary information.

Evil One only said one word: “Good.”

...

The Central Domain Holy Lands entered the Eastern Domain with great fanfare, causing some unease among the Dao Asking Sect disciples after they learned the news.

But...

As they wavered, they looked towards Sect Leader Peak, and their previously agitated hearts slowly quieted down.

With the Sect Master present, the sky of Dao Asking Sect would not fall.

...

Two days later, in front of Lu Bai, the evil monarch mask left by Evil One trembled, causing the entire mahogany table to vibrate violently.

News came from it regarding the Sun Moon Saint Stone and the Star Stone: they were in a certain place in the Eastern Domain, but were trapped by an Array Saint with a Formation, and other Holy Lands were eyeing them covetously. Only Array Dao cultivators could enter.

Lu Bai pondered. Evil One's warning from that day still echoed in his ears: as long as he didn't leave Saint Spirit State, he would be safe.

“Seven Kill Gate, Nirvana Realm assassins, huh?”

Lu Bai chuckled, his finger caressing the spatial jade bracelet, from which he took out a mask he hadn't used in a long time.

The mask was in the shape of a smile, bewitching and sinister.

Lu Bai slowly placed it over his face. Even though he now possessed Saint Realm combat power, the evil monarch mask still had a great effect, completely changing his aura.

Anyone who saw him would see a blatant Evil Cultivator!

So...

The Assassin Holy Land wanted Lu Bai? What did that have to do with his Evil Monarch identity?

Entering Saint Spirit State, Dao Asking Sect re-ascended to the peak of the Eastern Domain. This departure from Saint Spirit State, for Lu Bai and for Dao Asking Sect...

It was also a new beginning!
