Chapter 1750: Compassion?

The fourteen-leaf blue avatar, with its aura and strange electric arcs, was enough to frighten everyone. They did not dare to move; they did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Even if people had never seen the Unholy One, they had undoubtedly heard the many stories about him, especially during this period of time. Some people had already made the connection when they saw the avatar, but at the same time, a question arose in their hearts: Is this truly the avatar of the Unholy One, who was once the most powerful person in the Great Void? After all, it was said that the Unholy One’s avatar was overwhelmingly dazzling and tall. Regardless, no one dared to voice their doubts. They dared to use their lives to threaten Xuanyi, but they did not dare to do so to the Unholy One.

Everyone shuddered as they lowered their heads. They were too scared to even meet Lu Zhou’s gaze.

Lu Zhou raised his hand. His palm seal replaced Xuanyi’s energy seal and grabbed the arrogant cultivator’s neck. His eyes were soul-stirring as he asked, “Who ordered you to come to Xuanyi Palace to cause trouble?”

Due to the strength of the palm seal, the cultivator’s face and ears were red. His Eight Extraordinary Meridians were also blocked by the divine Dao power. He could not move at all. His soul was trembling, and his eyes were filled with fear. He said with great difficulty, “No, no, I…”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “That’s not the answer I want to hear. I’ll give you another chance.”

The cultivator suppressed his tears that were about to burst out, and his body could not stop trembling. However, he still did not want to reveal who was behind this.

Si Wuya, who was standing behind Lu Zhou, smiled and said, “Actually, even if he doesn’t say it, I know the answer.” Then, he looked at the cultivator and said, “The one who ordered you to cause trouble is Emperor Yu of the Great Abyss Land’s Feather tribe, right?”

The cultivator’s expression changed immediately, and he whimpered.

Si Wuya continued to say with a smile, “There’s no need to deny it. The Feather tribe has occupied the Great Abyss Land for so many years after reaching an agreement with the Great Void to guard the Pillar of Destruction there. It’s the only place with sunlight in the Unknown Land, and it’s right below the Cloud Domain. If the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction were to collapse, the Feather tribe would be the first to suffer. The Feather tribe has lived happily in the Great Abyss Land for 100,000 years, it’s only natural that they’re afraid of their lives being affected.”

Xuanyi was shocked by Si Wuya’s words.

The cultivator continued to struggle, still refusing to tell the truth.

Si Wuya said, “Emperor Yu even gave the Heaven Suppressing Pestle to another person. His goal was to attract the Great Void’s attention. He doesn’t want the owners of the Great Void Seeds to comprehend the Great Dao so he ordered you to cause trouble at the upper cores, right?”

The cultivator kept shaking his head, denying Si Wuya’s words.

Lu Zhou said, “The Heaven Suppressing Pestle is with me.”

Although Si Wuya had vaguely guessed this, after listening to his master’s admission, he still felt slightly emotional. He said, “Emperor Yu probably guessed your identity long ago so he deliberately gave you the Heaven Suppressing Pestle in order to sow discord between you and Ming Xin.”

Lu Zhou snorted and said expressionlessly, “Do I need him to sow discord between me and Ming Xin?”

The enmity between him and Ming Xin had long been predestined.

Then, Lu Zhou stared at the cultivator and said in a dark voice, “Do you really think I’ll be merciful and let you go? Do you really think I’m worried about the collapse of the Great Void?”

“Ah?”

The cultivator began to kick his legs and swing his hands wildly, trying to break free from Lu Zhou’s restraint. Alas, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from Lu Zhou’s iron grip.

At this moment, many cultivators bowed.

Then, someone shouted, “Your Majesty, I beg you to consider the people of the world!”

“Your Majesty, I beg you to show mercy!”

“You can’t kill the innocent!”

The cultivators could not threaten Lu Zhou with their lives so they could only place their hope on Xuanyi.

Xuanyi only shook his head and looked at Lu Zhou as he said, “I’ll leave Xuanyi Palace’s affairs up to teacher.”

‘Teacher?! It’s really him!’

Everyone’s hearts trembled again.

Lu Zhou turned back to look at the cultivator and said in a deep voice, “It seems like you don’t understand what I’m saying. You’ve enjoyed too many blessings in the Great Void. It seems like it’s about time that you have a taste of suffering.”

Following that, the cultivator felt the palm seal tightening around his neck. He kicked even harder as he let out muffled noises.

Crack!

The sounds of bones breaking reverberated in all directions.

The entire place fell silent immediately.

The cultivators stared at the dead cultivator with wide eyes, too stunned to speak. The palm seal not only crushed their hope, but it crushed their idea of fighting with their lives.

The palm seal continued to tighten its grip until the cultivator’s eyes bulged out. Following that, powerful electric arcs swept over his body, devouring his body. Soon, his body disappeared between heaven and earth.

Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and glanced at everyone before he said, “I’m going to start a massacre now. What are all of you going to do?”

“…”

Everyone retreated.

The indignant and rowdy crowd from before was completely subdued by Lu Zhou alone. Nobody remembered anything about fighting to the death at this moment or their agreement to destroy the upper core even if it cost them their lives. All they knew was to retreat at this time as an indescribable fear permeated their hearts. They gulped and continued to retreat.

When the cultivators were almost leaving the range of the upper core area, Xuanyi said, “Kill all of those who caused trouble!”

“Understood!”

The Dark Guards flew toward the cultivators immediately.

The cultivators rushed to retreat. Those who were jumping around and shouting earlier turned pale in fright, and some of them even peed their pants.

Meanwhile, after putting his avatar away, Lu Zhou asked, “Where’s Duanmu Sheng?”

Xuanyi said, “Ever since Duanmu Sheng was chosen as the Commander of Xuanyi Palace at the Cloud Domain, he has yet to show up. I wonder where he went…”

Si Wuya said in a low voice, “Master, I suspect the Scarlet Emperor might have gone to Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction. That’s where Princess Mulberry is. Now that the Great Void is about to collapse, the Scarlet Emperor isn’t going to leave her there…”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Si Wuya continued to say, “Master, since we’ve already come to the Great Void, let’s make sure that the others comprehend the Great Dao. We’ll put Third and Fourth Senior Brothers aside for now. They’ll be fine.”

“Very well, You can return to Tu Wei Hall first,” Lu Zhou said.

Si Wuya bowed. “Yes, master.” After that, he turned to the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion and bowed slightly before he said, “Everyone, long time no see.”

It was only at this time that the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion noticed Si Wuya, who was wearing a mask. Based on his words to Lu Zhou, how could they not understand what was going on?

“Mr. Seventh!” Meng Changdong called out excitedly as he stepped forward.

“Mr. Seventh, you’re truly blessed to come back to life!”

Si Wuya removed his mask, revealing his face.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at Si Wuya with wide eyes. Some were emotional, some were excited, some were surprised, and some were in disbelief.

The seventh disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, who had been buried in the Endless Ocean, had come back to life!

Then, everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion bowed and said in unison, “Welcome back, Mr. Seventh!”

Pan Litian said emotionally, “I was wondering why that Qi Sheng wasn’t as ruthless as he could be back then. My instinct was right!”

Someone laughed. “The name Qi Sheng should’ve already told you the answer! Didn’t you say it was impossible for Qi Sheng and Mr. Seventh to be the same person?”

“All of you overcomplicated a simple problem!”

The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion laughed heartily. It had been a long time since they had laughed so happily.

After 200 years, Si Wuya was finally reunited with everyone.

Although Si Wuya had gone through life and death, he still could not help but feel slightly excited and emotional when facing such an occasion. He said, “Thank you for your care, everyone. I still have important matters to attend to so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Alright, Mr. Seventh, go ahead. We believe in you!”

“I’m still waiting for the day when all ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion gather,” Pan Litian said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. These words were not false at all. It had been a long time since the ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion had gathered. After Si Wuya ‘died’, they thought such a thing would not be impossible. Now that Si Wuya had returned, everyone looked forward to the reunion.

Lu Zhou waved his sleeve. “Go.”

Si Wuya nodded and flew up to the sky. Then, a pair of flaming wings appeared on his back. The wings spanned an unknown length, instantly covering the sky. Flames burned the sky immediately.

The cultivators looked up in shock.

“Fire Deity?!”

Xuanyi looked at the pair of flaming wings and exclaimed in admiration, “He’s a descendant of the Fire Deity? I didn’t expect teacher to have such an outstanding disciple! To think he’s a descendant of the Fire Deity!”

Xuanyi had thought the disciples whom he had met were outstanding enough. He did not expect there to be another one with an unfathomable cultivation. Moreover, he was also a descendant of the Fire Deity. He nodded as he thought to himself, ‘As I expected, the Evil Sky Pavilion is truly powerful!’

Xuanyi put away his complicated emotions and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, please have a chat with me in the hall.”

Lu Zhou descended with his hands on his back, and everyone followed him.

The Dark Guards stayed behind to guard the upper core. No one was allowed to come near.

…

When everyone returned to the main hall of Xuanyi Palace, Xuanyi bowed again and said, “Congratulations, teacher. You’ve returned to the peak, and you can finally announce your return to the world!”

Although Lu Zhou did not explicitly say he was the Unholy One, the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain earlier, it was inevitable that his return would be confirmed after the earlier incident.

“How’s Shang Zhang Hall?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Shang Zhang Hall is the least of our worries. He’s the only divine emperor in the ten halls. He has been protecting the two girls,” Xuanyi said with a smile, “Moreover, one of them is his daughter. He’s more careful than anyone else. If someone tries to stab his daughter with a knife, he’d be the first to block the knife with his body.”

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He was quite at ease with the two girls’ safety. Now, he had to consider his first and second disciples. He asked, “Is Ling Weiyang still in the Great Void?”

“He has returned. He knows the Great Void is about to collapse so he has lost all hope of returning to the Great Void,” Xuanyi said regretfully. In fact, deep down in his heart, he also did not want the Great Void to collapse. However, the collapse was inevitable. Even the Sacred Temple’s attitude had confirmed it.

“Teacher, Holy Maiden Xihe has come to look for you many times,” Xuanyi said.

“Lan Xihe?”

“She said she has something to discuss with you,” Xuanyi said before he turned to say to a subordinate, “Inform Holy Maiden Xihe that Pavilion Master Lu is in Xuanyi Palace.”

“Understood.”

…

Lan Xihe, who had been in Xihe Hall all day, was overjoyed when she received the message from Xuanyi. She quickly summoned Ouyang Ziyun to the main hall.

When Ouyang Ziyun arrived, he greeted, “Greetings, Holy Maiden.”

“Mr. Ouyang, Pavilion Master Lu has returned. After thinking about it, I think you’re the most suitable person to accompany me,” Lan Xihe said.

Ouyang Ziyun asked, “Are you really going to see Pavilion Master Lu?”

Lan Xihe said, “I can tell that the Sacred Temple is deliberately ignoring all the recent matters. The Great Void is about to collapse. I can only look for Pavilion Master Lu now. Mr. Ouyang, why have you been stopping me from seeing Pavilion Master Lu all this time?”

Mr. Ouyang sighed and said, “Since you insist on going, I’ll accompany you.”

Lan Xihe nodded. “Alright, let’s not waste time and go now.”

With that, the duo left Xihe Hall.
