Chapter 1618: Acknowledge Your Master or Acknowledge a Thief as Your Father

Wu Xing still had a certain amount of confidence in Xuan Meng Hall. Although the hall had been without a master for a long time, fortunately, the Sacred Temple was around to maintain the balance so he was not too troubled by the other nine halls. Moreover, the Great Void is so vast. Who would travel so far just to look for trouble?

Wu Xing said, Miss Conch, our Xuan Meng Hall is one of the ten halls of the Great Void. Youll likely inherit the position of hall master in the future. Do you know what it means to become a hall master?

Conch asked, What does it mean?

It means youll have a higher chance of becoming a divine supreme being. I dont need to explain this to you, right? You should know what it means to be a divine supreme being, Wu Xing said with a confident expression on his face.

I dont know, Conch said as she shook her head.

Wu Xing felt like he was going to choke to death.

At this moment, Kong Junhua said, A divine supreme being is the strongest existence in the Great Void. Once you become a divine supreme being, youll be able to comprehend the purest laws and Dao in the world. You will no longer be restricted by s.p.a.ce, time, or distance.

Will a divine supreme being die? Little Yuaner asked as she blinked her eyes innocently.

Kong Junhua, who was very confident when speaking, also almost choked to death by Little Yuaners question.

Little Yuaner saw that everyones expressions were a little strange so she added, His Majesty has said that no one can live forever.

In other words, words about how divine supreme beings were no longer restricted by s.p.a.ce, time, and distance were lies.

Kong Junhua smiled and said, Indeed, no one can live forever. We can only try our best to live as long as possible. A divine supreme being undoubtedly has undoubtedly the longest lifespan.

Okay. Little Yuaner nodded.

Kong Junhua continued to say, Only the hall masters are allowed to enter the core of the Pillars of Destruction to comprehend the power of heaven and earth and complete the transformation into a divine supreme being.

Wu Xing smiled. So, Miss Conch, what are you waiting for? This is a great opportunity. Once you join our Xuan Meng Hall, the Xuan Meng Hall and Shang Zhang Hall will be allies. Well be on the same side.

Conch did not give an answer immediately. She observed Shang Zhang and Kong Junhua, and when she saw that Shang Zhang was also ambiguous with his decision, she bowed and said, Its better to let His Majesty decide.

Shang Zhang did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Wu Xing, Can you guarantee her safety?

Of course, Wu Xing said as he patted his chest, If Miss Conch joins Xuan Meng Hall, well only treat her with the utmost respect. Moreover, she has Your Majestys support. Whod dare to harm her? Moreover, the Sacred Temple and the other halls are also watching.

Shang Zhang nodded before he said with a sigh, Conch, with your talent, its a little unfair to you if you stay in Shang Zhang Hall.

With these words, Shang Zhangs decision was clear.

Conchs expression did not change at all as she said, I understand.

On the contrary, Little Yuaner stood in front of Conch and said, No. I wont be separated from Conch.

Kong Junhua said with a helpless expression on her face, Yuaner, you cant blame His Majesty for this. The entire Great Void is watching, and theres nothing we can do.

These words were the truth.

Seeing that Little Yuaner wanted to retort, Conch tugged at her sleeve.

Then, Little Yuaner said, Very well. Then, Im going with her.

Stay in Shang Zhang Hall. Youll become the Commander of Shang Zhang Hall, Kong Junhua said.

In the end, the two young women still had to part.

Conch said, Dont worry, Ill be fine.

But, but I dont want to be separated from you, Little Yuaner said.

They had come to the Great Void together, and due to the unfamiliar environment, they had depended on each other greatly. Not only did they depend on each other for survival, but their hearts and souls also depended on each other.

In the end, Shang Zhang rose to his feet and said, Its decided then.

Wu Xing bowed and said, Thank you, Your Majesty.

Shang Zhang said, If anything happens to her, Ill hold you responsible.

Dont worry. Even if something happens to Xuan Meng Hall, my ancestor will ensure her safety, Wu Xing replied.

Your ancestor has been in seclusion for so many years. Will he care about these matters? Shang Zhang asked.

Wu Xings ancestor was the only surviving grand shaman in the Great Void from ancient times. It was said that before he went into seclusion, he was only a step away from becoming a divine king.

My ancestor has already come out from seclusion, and hell be visiting Your Majesty soon, Wu Xing replied with a smile.

That would be good, Shang Zhang said.

Then we wont disturb you any longer. Miss Conch, please, Wu Xing said as he turned slightly to the side.

At this moment, a cultivator hurried into the hall. He bowed and said, Your Majesty, Emperor Xuanyi is here.

Xuanyi? Why is he here? Shang Zhang asked, puzzled.

He said he wants to meet the two ladies, the cultivator replied.

Wu Xing thought to himself, This should be my compet.i.tor. After all, the owners of the Great Void Seeds are very popular.

With this thought in mind, Wu Xing hurriedly said, Your Majesty, my ancestor has ordered me to hurry back so Ill leave first.

Then, Wu Xing turned to Conch again and made a gesture of invitation.

Conch hesitated, not knowing whether to leave or not. She turned to look at Shang Zhang, wanting to see his att.i.tude.

Shang Zhang remained silent.

Kong Junhua said, I heard that Commander Zhang He of Xuanyi Hall suffered a defeat at Southern Split Mountain. There are many people waiting to challenge him now, but he still has the time to come to our place?

Shang Zhang waved his sleeve and said, Tell Emperor Xuanyi that Im not feeling well today. Well meet again another day.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xings eyes brightened, and joy bloomed in his heart.

A disappointed expression appeared on Conchs face this time.

Wu Xing said, Miss Yuaner, please make way.

At this moment, Xuanyis voice rang from outside. Emperor Shang Zhang, youre really arrogant. I came to visit you, but you still refused to see me.

Then, a ripple of energy appeared outside.

Several cultivators from Shang Zhang Hall appeared, but they did not dare to stop Xuanyi.

Shang Zhang sat down and said, Let him in.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Two figures appeared in the hall. One was dressed in a long robe, and the other was dressed in a luxurious robe.

Xuanyi stood on the right while Lu Zhou stood on the left. Both of them stood with their hands on their backs, and their expressions were calm.

When Little Yuaner and Conch saw the person on the left, they forgot everything and exclaimed, Ah! Master!

Little Yuaner raised her hands to cover her mouth. No matter how hard she tried to suppress her emotions, her eyes began to redden.

Conch was not much better than Little Yuaner. She was barely able to restrain her emotions.

What is it? Kong Junhua asked.

Lu Zhou looked around indifferently and said, Looks like I came at the right time.

Who is this? Kong Junhua asked politely.

Xuanyi said, Hes a friend of mine. He came to visit people he knows today.

People he knows?

Xuanyi was about to gesture at Litte Yuaner and Conch when Lu Zhou stopped him. Then, Lu Zhous voice was grim as he asked, Why arent you kneeling when you see your master?

Lu Zhou revealed everything immediately. He had done so, unlike the others, because the girls were young and needed the most care in the Evil Sky Pavilion. They were not like the others who had lived their lives on the edge of a knife. The two girls experiences were too lacking compared to the others.

Thud!

Little Yuaner and Conch fell to their knees at the same time. Then, they said in unison, Disciple greets master!

A commotion broke out immediately.

Shang Zhang, Kong Junhua, and Wu Xing looked at Lu Zhou in confusion, sizing up the two girls master who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Shang Zhang was the most confused. He often went to the abyss with the two girls when they went to pay their respects to their master. He could still remember the past that the two girls spoke about.

Finally, Shang Zhang asked, Youre the two girls master?

Lu Zhou looked at Shang Zhang indifferently. He naturally knew who Shang Zhang was. He knew all of the ten hall masters of the ten halls. He was very familiar with their appearances, temperaments, and personalities. Alas, the Unholy One was no longer the Unholy One of the past.

Lu Zhou ignored Shang Zhang and said indifferently, Get up.

Looking at the two girls who were crying with joy, Lu Zhou knew that his fourth disciple was talking nonsense again.

After Little Yuaner and Conch rose to their feet, they went to Lu Zhous side. They had long forgotten all the plans in their hearts. This was especially true for Little Yuaner who was crying and complaining, feeling aggrieved. She kept saying things like Master, youre still alive! and Ive missed you so much all these years!

After a long while, Lu Zhou finally patted Little Yuaners shoulder and said, Alright, alright. Ive found you now.

The duo gradually stopped crying and smiled.

Kong Junhua bowed and said, Ive often heard about you from Little Yuaner. I didnt expect you to be so young.

Lu Zhou ignored Kong Junhua. He looked at Wu Xing before he asked with a frown, What happened?

Little Yuaner pointed at Wu Xing and said, Master, he wants to take junior sister away. He says he wants her to become the Commander of whatever Xuan Meng Hall. Were not willing at all!

Wu Xing bowed to Lu Zhou and said, So its two ladies master. I apologize for my rudeness. Im the Deputy Commander of Xuan Meng Hall, and I came under the orders of my ancestor to find a commander for Xuan Meng Hall. His Majesty has already agreed to let Miss Conch come to Xuan Meng Hall.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou turned to Shang Zhang and said, Shang Zhang.

In the Great Void, it was normal for peers to address each other by their names. However, under normal circ.u.mstances, one would tack on a t.i.tle to show respect. Addressing someone by their names, especially for someone like Shang Zhang, was a great disrespect and a huge provocation.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou.

Shang Zhang recalled the stories Little Yuaner and Conch told about Lu Zhou all year round so he knew Lu Zhous surname was Ji. He said, Elder Ji, if you have any opinions, feel free to speak.

Lu Zhou said expressionlessly, How can a filthy place like Xuan Meng Hall be worthy of my disciple?

Shang Zhang was puzzled. Filthy place?

Wu Xing:

Wu Xing could not help but say, Elder Ji, you dont know our Xuan Meng Hall so how can you insult us without any reason?

At this time, Xuanyi said with a sneer, You can fool Shang Zhang, but do you think you can fool me?

Your Majesty, you Wu Xing did not expect Xuanyi to suddenly speak up.

Lu Zhou said, You treated both of them well for 100 years, but you pushed Conch into a bottomless abyss. What are your intentions?

Shang Zhang said in a clear voice, Ive treated both of them like my daughters for the past 100 years. Even if youre their master, you cant insult me.

Oh? Lu Zhou shook his head.

Shang Zhang waved his hand.

At this moment, a jade pendant at Little Yuaner and Conchs waists flew out.

Take a good look, Shang Zhang said.

Everyone exclaimed, The Solar and Lunar Concentric Jade!
