Night Without End

Chapter 1537: Chapter 624: Turning Foes into Family

"What, the Great Saint from the Demon Court has already arrived at the Lu Palace. Hurry, let’s go see it. We must not miss this legendary scene!"

Even the many prodigies in seclusion were alerted, hastily exiting their retreats to witness the demeanor of Great Saint Zhou.

"This time, we should be able to uncover the true strength of that madman, right? I’ve always felt his Taoist power is far too extraordinary. If not for his age, I would suspect he might also be a Great Saint."

The crowd felt anxious, fearing they would miss this confrontation, and hurriedly headed towards Lu Palace.

In a sense, the performances of the madman at the Flowing Firefly Ruins imposed considerable psychological pressure on people.

Even with a Great Saint present, some people still believed that the madman possessed the power to fight back.

Recently, Zheng Guang’s popularity has soared to an eerie level.

Many people thought he was shrouded in a layer of mystery, eager to uncover and see how truly strong his essence was.

Core Saints like Lu Xunzhen, Zuo Qing, and Wang Pan also hurriedly came upon hearing the news, just like ordinary people, eager to witness the Great Saint in action.

If even all the Saints were so eager, what about others?

Because Zhou Tian moved with ultimate speed, tearing through Night Fog Sea, carrying Zhen Gui like teleportation, arriving first outside Lu Palace.

If not for many people consistently observing this uncle and nephew, they might have missed this battle.

"Uncle, don’t rush!"

Yet, Zhen Gui himself seemed rather anxious first.

What he most wanted to see was the madman being subdued under watchful eyes; otherwise, it would be too dull.

They arrived so quickly, many hadn’t caught up yet.

Zhen Gui held the Memory Crystal, already recording Zhou Tian’s silhouette. The latter was tall and heroic, immovable like a mountain, exuding an intense sense of oppression.

Zhen Gui could already imagine the legendary scene about to unfold.

At that time, the Great Saint would stand before Lu Palace, extend a single hand, and force the madman onto one knee, unable to lift his head, bowing low before the crowd.

Zhen Gui’s mouth cracked open, unable to suppress the arc of his lips, silently smiling as he eagerly anticipated seeing Zheng Guang bowing his head.

"You seem quite happy?" Zhou Tian, with his left hand behind him, glanced sideways at him.

Zhen Gui replied, "I was thinking, since the true Great Saint has arrived here, is the madman now frightened, and will he be so pitifully helpless later."

In no time, the originally quiet vicinity of Lu Palace was bustling with shadows, disciples from various dojos rapidly arriving through small Mist Gates, fearing they wouldn’t make it in time to watch the fight.

Zhou Tian remained in the cave mansion inn, refusing visitors, unaware of the eagerness of disciples from various Taoist orders.

He didn’t bother asking his opponent’s name, knowing that they lacked the strength, a mere raise of his hand and he could suppress them.

This was the confidence of a Great Saint, calm and composed, ingrained in his very bones, every move showing utmost self-assurance.

Even when mingling with peers, he never asked about their strength, for none matched his.

As for when Zhen Gui used Spring and Autumn Brushwork to write a note inviting him here, mostly discussing Heaven and Earth Treasures, merely touching upon the matter of easily suppressing a person, referring to him merely as a madman, and even calling him a madman aloud.

Zhou Tian was unaware of the madman’s popularity here. Watching the crowd continuously pouring in, he was slightly surprised.

Nonetheless, he soon understood, for being a famous demon bestowed with the title of Great Saint, being noticed was natural.

Zhen Gui was exhilarated; the scene he envisioned was taking shape, with an increasing number of people, a dense crowd stretching beyond sight.

People stood far away, not daring to approach, out of respect for the Great Saint.

Moreover, the place was silent.

No one spoke loudly, quietly waiting, a form of respect for the Great Saint.

However, over time, some began feeling restless.

"No movement from the Lu Palace; has the madman not come out?"

"Could he be uncertain, feeling a bit intimidated?"

"That’s probably the case!"

Some expressed dissatisfaction, murmuring softly.

Many felt that Zheng Guang was in for a great fall, for although he was extraordinary and recently stunned many, he could not rival a Great Saint.

Zhou Tian frowned, with his keen hearing, even though separated by distance, amidst the crowd’s clamor, he faintly caught a familiar name.

In that instance, his pupils slightly widened, seemingly in a trance.

Soon after, he glanced at his nephew beside him with a peculiar expression.

However, Zhou Tian showed no expression, waiting for a true confirmation before saying anything.

Zhen Gui said, "Uncle, don’t rush, I’ll call him."

Since he arrived here, he hadn’t stepped forward, nor knocked on the door, simply waiting for the troops from each sect to almost gather, revealing a satisfied demeanor.

"Madman..." Zhen Gui recently got used to saying it smoothly, momentarily failing to change it publicly.

He reorganized his words, saying, "Zheng Guang, come out and meet!"

He felt the grand stage had been set, all parties were in position; all that remained was for the madman to come and bow, everything proceeding smoothly toward the envisioned scene.

Especially, he saw Yun Wangshu not far away, attentively observing everything here.

Zhen Gui immediately showed a sun-like smile, gazing over there.

Now everything was ready, only awaiting Zheng Guang’s appearance.

Deep within the Lu Palace, Qin Ming, after bathing, donned a white robe prepared by Li Qingyue for him, appearing increasingly charming, with an extraordinary, ethereal aura.

"A grandmaster in his early twenties is already rather intimidating; if he bears the title of Great Saint as well, this... becomes increasingly terrifying," Old Furnace murmured to itself.

It noticed that Mingzi’s path indeed has been overly dazzling.

Given his age and achievements, wherever he might go, he’d undoubtedly hold a very high status.

The premise being, he shouldn’t be isolated, nor cornered by old monsters with limited lifespans.
