For the sake of the two girls, Emperor Shang Zhang had retained a shred of politeness. Now, with these words, all of that was gone.
He snorted softly and said, "Why do you have to act like you're the only one who's sober when everyone else is drunk? Is the Great Void fake?"
Lu Zhou noticed the slight change in Great Emperor Shang Zhang's attitude.
He couldn't go overboard with his probing.
"Indeed, the Ten Stars Aligned is a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, but … what does the collapse of the Heavenly Opening Era have to do with a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon?" Lu Zhou asked.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "Every time a phenomenon descends, the Heavenly Opening will shake. Isn't that enough to explain the problem? "
Lu Zhou pointed at Wu Xing and said, "His ancestor is the Great Magus God of the Great Void, right?"
"So what if I am?" Emperor Shang Zhang said.
"Sorcerers control sorcery, not astrological divination. In ancient times, the art of stargazing had long been lost. After the earth split apart, how did the shamans manage to observe the stars, predict the future, and determine the fate of others? "Lu Zhou asked.
"This …" Emperor Shang Zhang was at a loss for words.
What was a wizard? Witchcraft was a type of power that controlled the power of nature and telekinesis. It was divided into white witchcraft and black witchcraft. White Witchcraft guided people to improve, protecting the health of humans; Black Witchcraft cursed others, corroding their souls and corrupting their hearts.
No matter what kind of sorcery it was, it did not have the ability of astrology.
Lu Zhou possessed the memories of the Fiendgod, the most powerful being in the Great Void.
Due to his confidence in his experience and knowledge, Lu Zhou was firm in his belief that this matter was false.
"Answer me!" Lu Zhou raised his voice.
Wu Xing endured the pain and said, "My ancestor is proficient in all kinds of cultivation methods, so what's wrong with him knowing the art of stargazing?"
Lu Zhou continued to ask, "In that case, ask him to come here and face me. It just so happens that I know a thing or two about astrology. "
"…"
Wu Xing's heart trembled.
Emperor Shang Zhang's eyes slowly opened.
Wu Xing said, "Our ancestor has just come out of seclusion and is resting in Zhan Meng. If you want to see him, you can come with me to Zhan Meng. "
Great Emperor Shang Zhang looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "Even if the Great Magus God doesn't understand astrology, what does it mean?"
Lu Zhou snorted.
"If you don't understand astrology, how can you define the Ten Star Alignment as a disaster phenomenon? How could your daughter be a jinx? "
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he said in a low voice, "If it's as I've guessed, am I wrong to say that you're stupid?"
"…"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang had lived for countless years. He had tasted the sufferings of the human world and experienced the ups and downs of cultivation.
These words caused his fingers to visibly tremble.
He knew what Lu Zhou meant.
Wu Xing became extremely agitated and said, "Slander, absolute slander … The descent of the Star of Misfortune wasn't just the judgment of the ancestors. There were so many almighty beings in the Great Void back then. Moreover, when the Ten Stars Alignment appeared, Tianqi did indeed tremble and split. If not for the Ten Halls, the Great Void would have collapsed long ago. "
Lu Zhou ignored him and continued to say, "In the ancient times, Wu Zu successfully became a supreme shaman and became the only shaman in the Great Void to do so. He enjoyed an unparalleled status. Unfortunately, Wu Zu was not satisfied with that. In order to find a way to become a Grand Supreme or even a Heaven Supreme, he tried everything he could think of. He even tried those ancient forbidden arts. 110,000 years ago, the Great Rift Valley in the east of the Great Void was the first to undergo a fission. The plants within 30,000 miles withered, and countless beasts died mysteriously. Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers. The Great Void sent people to count the corpses. However, due to the sheer number, they did not announce it to the world. History calls it the Great Fission Death Incident. "
After saying this …
The great hall fell silent.
Lu Zhou was like an old man recounting the past to the young juniors before him.
Among the people present, only three of them looked convinced. Their expressions were filled with shock and horror.
The others were skeptical and incredulous.
"What does all this have to do with the ancestors?" Wu Xing asked.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "Just say it. I don't like to keep people in suspense."
Lu Zhou continued to speak as he pleased.
"A cultivator found a witchcraft mark in the vicinity of the fission. This mark can only be unleashed by a supreme being. As for the rest … do I even need to say it? "
Wu Xing shouted agitatedly, "You're spouting nonsense! It's been 110,000 years. You can say whatever you want, but there's no way Zhan Meng will agree to such slanderous accusations! Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for me and the ancestors! "
Great Emperor Shang Zhang found Lu Zhou's words incredulous as well. He immediately asked, "Are you trying to say that Wu Zu is the real culprit who killed those living beings?!"
"You're not too stupid."
"Do you have proof?" Great Emperor Shang Zhang continued to ask.
"I'm the proof."
"…"
Lu Zhou's words were infuriating.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang felt his chest tighten. He said, "What are you trying to say?!"
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin could not bear to watch this any longer. She said, "You don't understand? Wu Zu wants to use your daughter as a sacrifice! He's purposely spreading rumors about a jinx to mislead the public! He's despicable! "
A stone that stirred up a thousand ripples!
Upon hearing this, the entire Great Emperor Shang Zhang fell silent.
Everyone looked at Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin and Lu Zhou.
They could not accept this fact.
Kong Junhua staggered backward. She was slightly dazed.
Those with weak wills were easily persuaded even if the other party had no proof. As a mother, it was only natural that Kong Junhua doted on her daughter the most. When others said that her daughter was a jinx, she was undoubtedly the one who questioned and resisted the most. In the end, she was the one who had no choice but to bow to reality.
Many things were gradually forgotten with the passage of time. However, they were also gradually solidified and nailed into the annals of history. There was no way to correct them. Now that someone had suddenly appeared and told her that the stories were false, how would Kong Junhua feel?!
Great Emperor Shang Zhang's beard and eyelids trembled. His eyes shone with a profound light as he said, "I want proof!"
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin said, "Pavilion Master Lu is the proof!"
"Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin, you believe him?" Wu Xing asked in shock.
"He's the person I trust the most in this world!" Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin said loudly.
"…"
Wu Xing shook his head. He chuckled and said, "I'll remember what happened today … Who doesn't know how to slander someone? I'll report everything to the ancestor and the Holy Temple. I refuse to believe that there's no place in the Great Void that can uphold justice! "
He waved his arm and prepared to leave.
If Great Emperor Shang Zhang insisted on letting Wu Xing go, it would be difficult for Lu Zhou to stop him with his current cultivation base.
"Wait."
Conch took a step forward.
The others looked at Conch.
Wu Xing thought she was going to return to Zhan Meng with them.
Conch's expression was calm as she said, "I can prove that my master is telling the truth."
"Hm?" Great Emperor Shang Zhang regarded Conch in confusion and asked, "How can you prove it?"
'She's only a little girl. How would she know what happened 110,000 years ago?'
Conch raised her arm and rolled up her sleeves.
Her fair and jade-like elbow joint was exposed.
Conch tapped with two fingers.
A mark in the shape of a conch appeared on her wrist.
The mark shone brightly.
The others were stunned.
Conch said calmly, "My mother's name is Luo Xuan. She was an ordinary cultivator from the red lotus domain who loved to study the shackles of heaven and earth. She was unrestrained, free, and unrestrained. She stood aloof from worldly affairs and loved to travel the world. She hated war, blood, and corpses.
"She was one of the first to discover the existence of the unknown land … She was very brave."
She was the one who saved me in the unknown lands. She named me Luo Shiyin. "
The others were puzzled.
They did not know what she meant by this.
Lu Zhou seemed to have realized something. He frowned slightly.
He did not stop Conch from speaking.
Conch spoke about her life in the red lotus domain. She spoke about her mother's disappearance, how she became an orphan, and how she lost her memories.
"When I met my mother again, she passed her cultivation base to me. Ever since then, I'd often dream of strange scenes. There were mountains and rivers … "
Great Emperor Shang Zhang asked with a solemn expression, "What are you trying to say?"
Conch ignored Great Emperor Shang Zhang. She continued to say, "There were mountains that were as green as spring … The four seasons there were like summer. It was extremely beautiful. People called it … Mount South Hua."
After the mark on her wrist was activated, it slowly floated up.
It condensed in the air and formed two characters in the seal script that were shining with a red light — —
Swoosh.
Kong Junhua staggered a step and fell backward.
A maidservant hastily stepped forward to support her.
Emperor Shang Zhang's eyes were so wide they looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets as he stared at the two characters in the air.
Wu Xing, Imperial Lord Xuan Pin, and the others looked at Conch incredulously.
"How … how's this possible?!"
Wu Xing gulped.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang could not accept this. He instinctively took a step back.
He was not pleasantly surprised. Instead, he was shocked and shocked. Even as a great emperor, he could not accept this. He could not help but shake his head.
Seeing Great Emperor Shang Zhang's attitude, Conch rolled her sleeves down.
Conch rolled her sleeves down. The two scripts landed on her wrist.
She drew with two fingers, and the mark on her wrist disappeared.
"I hid this mark because … I only have one mother. Her name is Luo Xuan. In the future, I won't have any other family. " Conch's expression was as calm as ever when she said this. She added, "Forever."
"…"
Shang Zhang's great hall was deathly silent.
Conch was the only one who maintained her composure. Perhaps, she had repeated this scene a thousand times in her mind. That was why she was so familiar with it.
She was so familiar that it was heartbreaking.
Little Yuan 'er wanted to comfort her, but she was afraid she did not know how to speak. Hence, she kept her mouth shut.
She was not stupid. She understood everything Conch said.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin snapped back to his senses. He broke the silence and said, "If she's truly a jinx, how many years has it been? Has there been any change in the Great Void?!"
"…"
"If she's truly a jinx, where's the disaster? Is it the imbalance, or is it the collapse of Dun Nong Tianqi? "Imperial Lord Xuan Pin felt bad for Conch as well. His voice was filled with questions and anger.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin continued to say, "Great Emperor Shang Zhang, what do you think now?!"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang staggered backward and sat on his throne. He seemed to have lost his soul and did not say a word.
Conch turned around.
She returned to Lu Zhou expressionlessly. She bowed and said, "I possess the Great Void Seed. I'm the best candidate to be the Hall Master. Zhan Meng is lacking … If you're willing, I'm willing to be the Hall Master. "
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "If it were anything else, I'd agree to it. However, I can't do this."
He turned to look at Wu Xing. "At the very least, I can't do it with the current Zhan Meng. It's still filthy."
Wu Xing sat limply on the ground.
Lu Zhou glanced at the others indifferently before he turned around and walked out.
Little Yuan 'er and Conch followed after him.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! The cultivators in Shang Zhang's great hall swarmed around the hall's entrance, glaring at Lu Zhou.
"Young ladies, you're not allowed to leave Shang Zhang without permission!"
Lu Zhou flipped his palm. Unnamed hovered above his palm. He said indifferently, "Don't force me to go on a killing spree!"
The cultivators looked at Unnamed in Lu Zhou's palm.
Unnamed spun and changed forms, emanating a terrifying power.
This was the void.
Nobody dared to move. Nobody dared to fight someone who controlled the void.
"Let them go!"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang finally said.
The cultivators in Shang Zhang's great hall retreated in unison.
Lu Zhou stepped into the air and flew up.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin, Little Yuan 'er, and Conch followed closely behind him.
…
After an unknown period of time.
Wu Xing rose to his feet. He bowed at Great Emperor Shang Zhang and said, "Your Majesty, I have to return to report on my mission. I won't impose on you any longer. Farewell. "
The group of cultivators swiftly made their way to the hall's entrance.
Just when they were about to leave, Great Emperor Shang Zhang's gruff voice rang in the air. "Since you're here, don't leave."
His face was expressionless as he looked at the ground. Then, he waved his sleeve and left.
The space at the entrance of Shang Zhang's great hall distorted and bounced them back.
Puh!
They spat out mouthfuls of blood.
Wu Xing's expression changed drastically. He turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you can't trust them!"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang ignored him. Instead, he said coldly, "Men."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Several cultivators charged into the great hall.
"Drag him away and cripple him."
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said.
"Understood."
Two cultivators stepped forward.
Wu Xing roared, "Shang Zhang, you dare?! Do you really think I, Zhan Meng, am a pushover? If you dare touch a hair on my head, my ancestor will not let this matter rest! "
Great Emperor Shang Zhang's eyes widened. "Sever his limbs."
"Understood."
Just as Wu Xing was about to struggle, Great Emperor Shang Zhang waved his sleeve and shot out a seal of light that struck his chest.
Wu Xing immediately flew out and was caught by the four cultivators. Crack —
His body shattered in the air.
"This emperor wants him alive. This emperor wants to see how Ancestor Wu will explain this! "Great Emperor Shang Zhang said.
"Understood!"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang continued to sit on his throne, still in a daze.
He turned around and glanced at Kong Junhua.
Kong Junhua had already fainted in the arms of the two maids.
"Take the madam away to rest."
"Understood."
After Kong Junhua was taken away.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang remained alone in the great hall for a long time.
He looked very calm.
So calm that it was frightening.
When Great Emperor Shang Zhang stood up, he felt a numbness in his body.
He sucked in a deep breath.
A cultivator quickly entered the great hall and said, "Your orders, Great Emperor?"
"Prepare my carriage. This emperor will personally make a trip to Xuan Ke."
"Understood."
"Wait," Great Emperor Shang Zhang said. "Keep this matter a secret for now. Also, bring everything from this emperor's bodhimanda. "
"Understood."
