My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1639

Just as Zhu Honggong was about to speak, Zhi Guangji said in a deep voice, “Then, let the Sacred Hall come to me then.”

As soon as Zhi Guangji clenched his hand, a powerful force bound Zhu Honggong before he flew toward Zhi Guanji.

Xuanyi wanted to intervene, but he did not expect Zhi Guangji to go all out.

Zhi Guangji had used an extremely rare and powerful binding technique that firmly held onto Zhu Honggong.

Zhu Honggong was unable to resist at all, bound by rings of light. When he finally landed next to Zhi Guangji, Zhi Guangji nodded in satisfaction. He said viciously, “You! You…” All of sudden, his voice turned ingratiating as he said, “It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I was just joking earlier. Senior, please forgive me. Can you let me go? I’ll definitely put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty, Great Emperor Ming Xin.”

Zhi Guangji: “…”

The last shred of Zhu Honggong’s image in Zhi Guangji’s mind collapsed completely. He was overwhelmed with the urge to kick Zhu Honggong, but he restrained himself. Finally, he cupped his fists together at Xuanyi and said stiffly, “I won’t disturb you anymore. Take care.”

“I won’t see you out.” Xuanyi had no intentions of interfering in the conflict between Zhi Guangji and the Sacred Temple. In fact, he could not wait for the two parties to fight. However, just as he was about to turn and leave, the melodious tune from a zither rang from afar.

The beautiful tune from the zither gradually swept out like a tide.

At this moment, a cultivator next to Zhi Guangji whispered, “Your Majesty, it’s that girl.”

“It’s her? Are you sure?” Zhi Guangji’s eyes lit up.

“I’m certain. Over the past ten years, I’ve made many inquiries and secretly observed and studied her.”

Xuanyi ignored them and turned to leave. He had already expected Zhi Guangji to have designs on the owners of the Great Void Seeds.

Zhi Guang Ji looked at the bright pearl above Xuanyi Palace.

Buzz!

A black avatar appeared, and a dazzling lotus appeared, covering the sun and dispersing the clouds.

The sound from the zither stopped abruptly.

Xuanyi shouted, “This is too much!”

Xuanyi flashed to the top of the main hall and controlled the bright pearl to force Zhi Guangji back.

Zhi Guangji said in a deep voice, “A great divine king is still a divine king, after all. Break!”

Zhi Guangji’s hand was like the sky as he pressed down on Xuanyi Palace’s barrier.

As soon as the barrier shattered, Zhi Guangji flew toward the direction of the sound of the zither.

…

At this time, Little Yuan’er and Conch were discussing the Dao while Conch played the zither.

They were both puzzled by the huge commotion and were about to take a lot when a powerful force pulled them up.

“Conch!”

“Ninth Senior Sister!”

The two girls held onto each other and struggled with all their might.

At the critical moment, Shang Zhang, the attendant, who was nearby, flashed over and dispelled the force.

Little Yuan’er and Conch fell back to the ground immediately.

Shang Zhang, the attendant, stood in front of the two girls.

“???”

Little Yuan’er asked curiously, “Little attendant, why is your cultivation so profound?”

Shang Zhang, the attendant, did not look back as he replied, “I cultivate in secret, and I didn’t want to reveal my strength.”

Little Yuan’er smiled. “I really can’t tell. There are truly hidden experts everywhere.”

Shang Zhang, the attendant, looked up.

At this moment, Zhi Guangji’s voice rang from the sky. “So there’s an expert in Xuanyi Palace. Why don’t you come out so we can have a chat?”

Xuanyi flew over at this moment and asked, “Are you worthy?”

Zhi Guangji said, “Of course. To be able to catch your attention, he or she must be outstanding. I’m very curious.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Shang Zhang, Little Yuan’er, and Conch flew out of the pavilion and looked at the gigantic black avatar in the sky.

Shang Zhang, the attendant, said in a low voice, “He’s the Black Emperor. Both of you should find a place to hide.”

The current Little Yuan’er was no longer unruly and willful as she was in the past. She nodded as she grabbed Conch and said, “Let’s go.”

At this moment, Zhu Honggong, who was bound behind Zhi Guangji, shouted, “Ninth Junior Sister!”

“Huh?” Little Yuan’er spun around.

Zhu Honggong continued to shout, “It’s me! Your Eighth Senior Brother! Ninth Junior Sister, hurry up and save me!”

Shang Zhang, the attendant, turned around and asked Little Yuan’er, “Do you know that person?”

Little Yuan’er looked at Zhu Honggong carefully before she shook her head. “No.”

Zhu Honggong: “?”

Zhi Guangji said, “I don’t care if you know him or not, but you’ll have to come with me.”

Shang Zhang, the attendant, raised his head to the sky and asked, “Zhi Guangji, you still have the audacity to return to the Great Void?”

Xuanyi, Little Yuan’er, and Conch looked at Shang Zhang with baffled expressions on their faces. The trio shared the same thought at this moment: This little attendant’s courage is really incredible!

Zhi Guangji said, “How dare a little attendant like you interrupt me! Scram!”

Zhi Guangji flicked his sleeve, sending out a soundwave.

It was only at this moment that Shang Zhang realized he had gone out of character. Currently, he was not Emperor Shang Zhang, the Hall Master of Shang Zhang Hall; he was just an attendant in Xuanyi Palace. If he attacked and showed his strength now, his identity would be exposed. Once he was exposed, he would no longer have the chance to stay by his daughter’s side. For a moment, he was in a dilemma. After a while, he thought to himself, ‘Forget it. For my daughter’s sake, I’ll endure it!’

When the soundwave swept out, it sent Shang Zhang, the attendant, flying.

Upon seeing this, Little Yuan’er muttered under her breath, “I thought he’s very powerful. As it turns out, he just knows some petty tricks.”

Shang Zhang, the attendant: “…”

Shang Zhang, the attendant, pretended to clutch his chest in pain.

At the same time, Zhi Guangji said calmly, “Please come out and have a chat with me.”

The entire Xuanyi Palace was silent. No one replied.

Shang Zhang, the attendant, really wanted to say, ‘The expert is me! The noble and righteous Emperor Shang Zhang!’ However, when he thought about Conch, he could only swallow his words.

“Please come out and meet me,” Zhi Guangji said again. This time, the soundwave swept through the entire Xuanyi Palace.

The Dark Guards and the cultivators from Xuanyi Palace swarmed out of various halls, attracted by the commotion. They looked at the black avatar in the sky warily as though they were facing a great enemy.

Unfortunately, the expert Zhi Guangji wanted to meet did not come out.

Finally, Zhi Guangji shook his head and said, “Xuanyi, you have to improve your intimidation technique. Like I said before, a great divine king is still a divine king, after all. No matter what, you can only… submit!”

Zhi Guangji’s avatar moved. As soon as the word ‘submit’ fell, it released waves and waves of energy. At the same time, a circle of light appeared at the avatar’s back. Saint had Saint Light, and Great Saints had even more powerful Saint Light. Once they became supreme beings, their Saint Lights would become dazzling halos comparably to the sun and moon. Those with lower cultivation would be instantly intimidated by the halo of a supreme being, and those with a weak mind would instantly submit.

At this moment, a calm voice rang from the direction of the Dark Hall.

“Zhi Guangji?”

Zhi Guangji: “?”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

A figure slowly walked out of the Dark Hall. In just a moment, his figure grew bigger and bigger as he drew closer and closer. Finally, he arrived in front of everyone.

Lu Zhou was in the Dao hall earlier, comprehending the Heaven Scroll. It was a crucial part of his cultivation, after all. Earlier, he had already heard the commotion outside, but he did not pay attention to it. He assumed Xuanyi would be able to handle it; he did not expect Zhi Guangji to show up.

Lu Zhou looked at Zhi Guangji expressionlessly and asked, “Zhi Guangji, you’re the one who disturbed my cultivation?”

Zhi Guangji asked with a frown, “Were you the one who blocked my attack earlier?”

As soon as Zhi Guangji’s voice fell, Zhu Honggong shouted, “Master! It’s me! It’s me! Help!”

Zhu Honggong kept struggling and shouting.

“…”

Lu Zhou frowned when he saw Zhu Honggong who was covered in mud.

Little Yuan’er rubbed her eyes before she exclaimed in surprise, “Eh?! Is that Eighth Senior Brother?! He’s covered in mud so I didn’t recognize him earlier! Eighth Senior Brother, hello!”

Zhu Honggong was so excited that tears streamed down his face. “Master, junior sisters, I really missed all of you to death! Hurry up, tell him to let me go!”

Zhi Guangji turned around and said, “Earlier, you kept saying you came under the orders of the Sacred Temple and that you’re Ming Xin’s subordinate. Now… Do you always act according to the direction the wind blows?”

“Nonsense! I’m not that kind of person! Don’t try to sow discord between us master and disciple! Now hurry up and let me go!” Zhu Honggong shouted.

Zhi Guangji looked at Lu Zhou and sighed helplessly. “I feel sorry for you that you have such a disciple.”

Lu Zhou said lightly, “Since you look down on him, then let him go.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Zhi Guangji said.

“Reason?”

“He has the Great Void Seed. This is my reason. Am I straightforward enough?” Zhi Guangji said honestly.

Excuses were meaningless.

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “You’re very straightforward, but you’ll still have to let him go.”
