The first thing Lu Zhou did after arriving in the Wei Kingdom was seek out Wei Kingdom cultivators and ask where the Xuan Yuan Sect was located.
It did not take him much effort to find out.
Then, he headed straight for the Xuan Yuan Sect with the Black Emperor.
As for Yang Yi, though she had followed them, she remained hidden in the shadows.
Unless Lu Zhou encountered a life-or-death crisis, or some shameless old fellow tried to bully the young with his seniority, Yang Yi would basically not reveal herself.
"Kid Lu, what are you going to the Xuan Yuan Sect for? Could it be that descendant of the Demon Emperor is there now?"
"If nothing unexpected has happened, then judging by the time, she should be at the Xuan Yuan Sect!"
"How do you know?"
The Black Emperor shot Lu Zhou a sidelong glance, puzzled. It had been sticking with Lu Zhou these past days and could not figure out where he had gotten this information.
"Take a guess!"
"Woof!"
The Xuan Yuan Sect was located within a valley in the Wei Kingdom.
The mountains here were beautiful, with flying waterfalls and flowing springs. Peach blossoms bloomed everywhere, making it a peaceful haven.
Lu Zhou and the Black Emperor did not conceal their tracks and walked directly into Xuan Yuan.
Yet not a single cultivator came to question them.
However, Lu Zhou had already sensed eyes watching him and the Black Emperor from the shadows.
They were presumably members of the demon race.
Lu Zhou paid them no mind and took the Black Emperor straight toward the Xuan Yuan Sect's rear mountain.
Just as the two were about to reach the rear mountain, the demon race cultivators secretly watching their movements finally could not sit still any longer.
Several cultivators suddenly descended on rainbow light before Lu Zhou and the Black Emperor. They claimed to be Xuan Yuan Sect cultivators and said that the area ahead was an important site of their sect, not somewhere outsiders could casually enter.
Lu Zhou had always been straightforward. He looked at those cultivators and said,
"You finally decided to come out. My name is Lu Zhou. I didn't come with any ill intent this time. In fact, I came to lend you a hand!"
"I want to meet the Demon Princess. Also, one—or perhaps two—of my friends should be with the Demon Princess right now. Please inform her for me!"
Lu Zhou was not sure whether Ye Fan had already been led here by Duan De.
Though he had read the original novel more than once, when he had read it, most of his attention had been on the plot. There was no way he could have remembered every single point in time clearly.
As for the timeline, he only remembered a few rough time markers at most.
For instance, he remembered that Ye Fan had been led to the Xuan Yuan Sect by Duan De three years after the Demon Emperor's Tomb appeared—in other words, four years after they arrived in the Big Dipper.
But Lu Zhou had no idea which exact day of that fourth year it had been.
The original novel seemingly had never specified the exact timing.
That was precisely why Lu Zhou worried about missing the details of certain major events. Estimating that the time was about right, he had hurried ahead to the Southern Territory.
Had he known beforehand that he would one day transmigrate into Covering the Heavens, Lu Zhou would have memorized the entire novel by heart, even if it meant going without sleep or rest.
Hearing Lu Zhou say this, coupled with his courteous attitude—and, more importantly, perhaps because they saw the huge black dog demon beside him, as stout as a bull—the leading Xuan Yuan Sect cultivator thought for a moment. Though he did not quite understand what Lu Zhou meant by lending them a hand, he understood the part about having no ill intent, and said to Lu Zhou,
"Please wait a moment. I'll report this for you right away!"
"Alright!"
Lu Zhou replied with a smile.
The middle-aged cultivator then rode rainbow light toward the rear mountain.
Lu Zhou did not wait long. About a quarter of an hour later, he saw the middle-aged cultivator flying toward him behind several beautiful female cultivators.
At a glance, Lu Zhou spotted the leader: an exceptionally beautiful woman around twenty years old, seductive and captivating, with a red mole between her brows.
Could this be Qin Yao, the first woman to successfully bed Emperor Ye after he came to the Big Dipper?
"This young master Lu, how did you learn that our princess was living in seclusion here?"
"And why do you wish to see our princess?"
It was the woman who seemed to be Qin Yao speaking.
Her voice was magnetic and incredibly pleasant to hear.
With every smile and frown, her red lips glistened, her pearly teeth were like jade, and her black hair draped over her snow-white chest, making her exceedingly alluring.
Lu Zhou felt that although she could not compare with Shi Yao, she possessed a charm all her own. Emperor Ye had not lost out by being devoured by such a demoness!
It was only a pity that beautiful women had often met tragic fates since ancient times!
"When you ask someone a question, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
"This little woman is Qin Yao. Young master Lu, can you answer my question now?"
"I already said that I merely heard the Demon Princess was here and wanted to meet her, while also checking on how my friend is doing."
"As for how I knew you were in Xuan Yuan? Even the Ji Family knows about this. It's perfectly normal for me to know that you're here too, isn't it?"
At Lu Zhou's words, a strange glint flashed through Qin Yao's eyes.
She could not help but think, This man actually dares to place himself on par with the ancient Ji Family. Just who is he?
She continued asking,
"May I know who your friend is, young master Lu?"
"Pang Bo!"
Lu Zhou did not mention Ye Fan and only named Pang Bo.
The moment his words fell, Qin Yao and the others' expressions changed. At the same time, Lu Zhou sensed waves of auras stirring in the shadows.
Lu Zhou smiled and glanced toward the places where those auras were surging before casually continuing,
"I said I have no ill intent. Not only do I have no ill intent, I even came to lend you a hand!"
"I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, the consequences will not be something any of us want to see."
As he spoke, Lu Zhou revealed a trace of his aura.
In an instant, Qin Yao and the others standing directly before him felt it become somewhat difficult to breathe.
Wariness filled their eyes as they looked at Lu Zhou. From him, they felt the same Four Extremes pressure they felt when facing their own princess.
At that moment, a voice as lovely as heavenly music suddenly rang out.
"The person you wish to see is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed!"
As the voice fell, its owner appeared.
Lu Zhou saw a figure appear before him, graceful and otherworldly, beautiful as an immortal, as though untouched by mortal dust and ready at any moment to ride the wind into the palaces of the nine heavens.
She stood tall and slender, dressed in flowing white robes, with three thousand strands of dark hair cascading down like a waterfall.
Her eyes were like water, seemingly veiled in mist, giving her a dreamlike, illusory air.
There was no need to ask. The moment he saw this woman, whose appearance, figure, and temperament were in no way inferior to Shi Yao's, Lu Zhou guessed that she had to be Yan Ruyu, descendant of the Demon Emperor.
One of the truly wealthy young ladies in all of Covering the Heavens!
The Demon Princess revered as one of the most beautiful women in the Eastern Wasteland!
The perfect wife who, once married, would immediately bring him the protection of a group of demon race Great Powers and an Ultimate Emperor Weapon to safeguard his path.
Sure enough, Yan Ruyu truly could be found within books. Brother Dong did not deceive me!
Within 0.001 seconds of seeing Yan Ruyu, Lu Zhou had already made his decision.
He, Lu, was definitely going to marry this woman!
No one could stop him!
With that thought in mind, Lu Zhou spoke as well.
"Whether Pang Bo is in seclusion is not important!"
"What matters is, first, I can tell you with certainty that your ancestor will not succeed. He cannot seize Pang Bo's body. In the end, not only will he die, he will make Pang Bo whole!"
"Second, although Pang Bo has consumed Saint Fruit and has a portion of demon race bloodline within him, his body is not the most suitable vessel for your ancestor."
"I can provide your ancestor with a body far superior to Pang Bo's in every respect for him to possess."
