My Disciples Are All Villains

Leng Luo naturally did not believe Pan Litian. He rose to his feet and carefully examined Pan Litian. Indeed, Pan Litian was uninjured.

The four elders were confused.

"That Qi Sheng is a newcomer in Tu Wei Hall. Isn't Emperor Tu Wei the enemy that Pavilion Master Lu fought in Luo Yang?" Pan Litian frowned.

Leng Luo said, "Logically speaking, Qi Sheng should hate us. He should be eager to kill us to avenge Emperor Tu Wei."

Zuo Yushu nodded. "Something's amiss."

Hua Wudao analyzed the situation and said, "Perhaps, he was oppressed by the higher-ups in Tu Wei Hall before this. Perhaps, he's grateful that Pavilion Master Lu killed Emperor Tu Wei so he showed us mercy?"

Zuo Yushu felt rather speechless by this analysis. Then, she said, "Your imagination is really good."

Pan Litian said, "I think Elder Hua's analysis makes sense."

"..."

Leng Luo frowned. "Now's not the time to talk about this. The little girl has been taken away. How are we going to explain this to the others?"

The four elders' expressions were very unsightly at this moment.

"Before that person left, didn't he indicate he's going to the red lotus domain?"

"Let's return to the Evil Sky Pavilion for now. The most important thing now is to warn Conch!"

The four elders glanced at the empty sky again with a helpless expression.

…

In the sky above the capital in the red lotus domain.

A flying chariot that was hundreds of feet long hovered in the air. The cultivators hovering around the flying chariot all possessed extraordinary auras.

The cultivators in the capital felt as though they were facing a great enemy. It was as though the end of the world had arrived.

For many years, the Great Void had concealed its existence. However, the Great Void Seeds were of great importance so many rules had to be disregarded. Moreover, the existence of the Great Void Seeds had also long become public knowledge in the nine domains.

At this time, a voice rang from the sky above Great Tang.

"Surrender and hand over the owner of the Great Void Seed."

"The Great Void Seed?"

The cultivators in Great Tang were shocked.

"Why did the Great Void come with such fanfare just to search for the Great Void Seed this time?"

"The seeds were theirs to begin with. They were lost more than 500 years ago."

"How are we going to find them? Although the nine domains aren't as vast as the Great Void, it'd be like searching for a needle in a haystack…"

"I heard that the Great Void has a sacred relic that can track the Great Void Seeds…"

At this time, a golden circle with strange and mysterious runes appeared on the flying chariot. Then, it flew toward the east of the capital.

Following that, a large number of cultivators from the Great Void flew east. At the same time, avatars appeared one after another in the sky, shocking everyone.

At the same time, Zhang Hongfu and Conch who were flying east saw this scene. Their expressions changed drastically in just an instant.

Zhao Hongfu raised her Magistrate Brush, intending to open up a runic passage to leave. However, due to time constraints, it was difficult. She said hopelessly, "It's all my fault for not learning well! Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to catch us."

Conch grabbed Zhao Hongfu and said, "There's no need to blame yourself. There's a runic passage 30 miles to the east."

"Alright."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The cultivators flew quickly in the sky.

Conch looked at them with a complex gaze. She had not even become a Saint yet so how was it that they found her location so easily?

At this time, one of the cultivators saw a burst of light in the direction where two figures were flying. Then, he exclaimed in joy, "Found them! His Majesty's Compass of Conservation is truly useful!"

Cultivators flew over from all directions, stopping Conch and Zhao Hongfu from leaving.

"One of them must be the owner of the Great Void Seed," one cultivator said.

"No matter who it is, we'll know when the emperor arrives."

The cultivators of the Great Void were overjoyed at having made such a great contribution.

Zhao Hongfu stood in front of Conch and said in a hushed voice, "Quickly crush the jade talisman."

"Don't waste the jade talisman. Perhaps, it's useful against Venerable Masters and the likes, but it's useless in front of divine kings. You'd only be seeking death," one of the cultivators advised.

Zhao Hongfu frowned. "A divine king?"

Buzz!

A figure with an extraordinary aura that was six and a half feet tall appeared. He wore a gold brocade robe, setting him apart from everyone else. His long hair was tied up, and his eyes were bright and spirited.

The cultivators bowed in unison. "Greetings, Divine King Zhu Yong."

Zhu Yong looked at Zhao Hongfu and Conch as he tonelessly asked, "Where's the Great Void Seed?"

"Divine King Zhu Yong, the Compass of Conservation led us to these two. There's no one else but them within a radius of 50 miles. There's no mistake about this."

"Very good." Zhu Yong looked at the two women and calmly asked, "Who has the Great Void Seed?"

Zhu Yong did not take action, but asked first.

Without waiting for Conch to speak, Zhao Hongfu bravely stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect you to find me."

"I admire your courage. Since you've obtained the Great Void Seed, this is your fate. You have two options: one, accept me as your master; two, die," Zhu Yong said.

"..."

Zhu Yong continued to say, "If you disagree, I'll try my best to extract the Great Void Seed from your body. Without the seed, you will surely die."

Faced with such a domineering attitude, what else could be done?

Zhao Hongfu said, "I'll go with you, but this has nothing to do with my friend. Let her go."

Zhao Hongfu clearly intended to sacrifice herself to save Conch.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't agree to this. If you live, she must die."

"..."

At this time, Conch pulled Zhao Hongfu back and shook her head. "Forget it."

"No, I promised everyone that I'll protect you well!"

"You've done enough," Conch said.

"But…"

"Sister Hongfu, to be honest, I've always had an idea in my mind. I didn't mention this to master or anyone else. In fact, I've always wanted to go to the Great Void to have a look," Conch said slowly.

Zhao Hongfu was stunned.

Conch smiled as she continued to say, "Over the past 100 years, I've been dreaming every day about where I came from and who heartlessly abandoned me. I want to meet that person and see what he or she is like."

Zhu Yong sneered upon hearing the duo's conversation. "So you're the one who owns the Great Void Seed? Did you think you'd be able to trick me?"

Even if Conch did not say anything, they still would have verified Zhao Hongfu's claims.

"I'll go with you. Let her go," Conch said.

Zhu Yong said, "The punishment for lying to me is death."

"You!"

"You have no choice." Zhu Yong waved his sleeve and said, "Restrain her and kill the other one."

"Understood."

At this critical moment, an even more majestic voice rang from the sky.

"You're quite impressive…"

Then, a huge runic passage appeared in the sky, illuminating everything.

The cultivators looked up and saw a red tiger slowly emerging from the runic passage.

Shang Zhang stood above the red tiger, looking down on all beings.

Several cultivators followed closely behind Shang Zhang. One of them was Qi Sheng, the new Hall Commander of Tu Wei Hall.

Zhu Yong frowned. "Emperor Shang Zhang."

The other cultivators bowed immediately. "Greetings, Emperor Shang Zhang."

Shang Zhang said, "Zhu Yong, the Great Void has prohibited needless killings. As a divine king, how could you have forgotten the rules of the Great Void?"

How could Zhu Yong not know that Shang Zhang was here to snatch the target away from him? He said, "Under special circumstances, we naturally can make exceptions."

Shang Zhang asked, "Special circumstances? You mean you're using all means to obtain the Great Void Seed."

"Emperor Shang Zhang is now a divine emperor. Don't tell me you plan to rob the target away from me?"

"Rob?"

Zhu Yong said, "The ten halls are told to look for the Great Void Seeds. The Sacred Temple forged the Compass of Conservation to assist us. Whoever finds the target first will get to keep the target."
