The others looked up at the flying chariot in the sky.
The owner of the voice was the grand cultivator on the flying chariot.
Someone with sharp eyes recognized him and exclaimed, "Great Emperor Shang Zhang!?"
"That's right, how could Great Emperor Shang Zhang not participate in the Palace Head Competition?"
"The Hall of Upper Order doesn't have a Hall Master. I nearly forgot!"
Due to some special reasons, Great Emperor Shang Zhang had always been the one in charge of the Hall of Shang Zhang. His wife, Kong Junhua, assisted him. It had been a long time since a Hall Master had appeared.
"Who's the other person?"
"I don't know her."
Many people shook their heads.
How could anyone who could stand beside Emperor Shang Zhang be a simple character?
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and the other Evil Sky Pavilion disciples looked up.
Their eyesight was not bad. When they saw that familiar figure, they were shocked. Master?!
Why did Master come at this time?
Hua Zhenghong frowned and stared at the two of them.
She recognized Great Emperor Shang Zhang. She did not recognize the person beside her at all, but she could feel that his aura was extraordinary.
Hua Zhenghong did not stop.
She represented Temple, and even if Great Emperor Shang Zhang came personally, she did not have to obey his orders.
The Three Great Emperors were also present, so who could stop her?
Hua Zhenghong knew that she was in the wrong, but seeing that the first chapter had appeared, she did not want to be entangled with it.
Hua Zhenghong tiptoed and flew into the sky.
"I still have to return to the Holy Temple to report. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you."
Just as she flew into the sky.
A wheel of light descended from the sky.
The one who attacked was not Shang Zhang, but the cultivator beside Shang Zhang.
There was the sun and the moon in his palm, as if he held the universe in his hand.
The Sun Wheel illuminated the earth, and with an incomparably tyrannical power, it pressed towards Hua Zhenghong.
Hua Zhenghong's expression changed slightly as she met the attack with her palms.
Rumble!
The two forces collided, creating a horizontal wave that stretched for hundreds of miles.
Hua Zhenghong had no choice but to descend. She turned around and looked at the flying chariot. "Great Emperor Shang Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
The flying chariot was still approaching.
The voice on the flying chariot was thunderous. He said in a deep voice, "Are you ignoring my words?"
…
On the flying chariot.
The two looked down at the Central Cloud Region.
After Great Emperor Shang Zhang bade farewell to Xuan Ke, he brought Little Yuan 'er back to Shang Zhang. According to Lu Zhou, he wanted Little Yuan' er to be the Temple Master of Shang Zhang.
Since Conch was going to participate in the Hall Leader Competition as well, he had planned to bring Conch and Zhang He together. However, due to the Atheist Church's matter, they were delayed and came late.
While the flying chariot was getting closer, Lu Zhou took advantage of it.
Emperor Shang Zhang said, "The Atheist Church has appeared."
Lu Zhou nodded and asked, "Where are they?"
"The Great Void is too big. It's very difficult to find them. I've only heard that they're active in the Sanctuary."
"Saint realm?"
"In the direction of the Sacred Temple, everything within a radius of ten thousand li is a sacred region. The Sage Temple's city covers an area of about ten thousand miles. With the Sage Temple as the center, it radiates thirty thousand miles, up to ten thousand miles, all of which are sacred regions. " Shang Zhang sighed slightly. "This is the most prosperous place in the entire Great Void and even the entire cultivation world."
"Is Ming Xin not going to intervene?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
"Emperor Darkheart rarely interferes with worldly affairs." Shang Zhang said, "Moreover, the Atheist Church has always been at odds with the Ten Temples. This is what he wants to see. Although the Ten Temples are prosperous, they're far from comparable to the Sacred Temple. "
Lu Zhou knew this as well. The Mystic Peak Temple only covered an area of a few thousand miles. He reckoned the other temples were about the same. Even so, the Ten Temples of the Great Void were but a drop in the ocean.
Lu Zhou had personally experienced the vastness of the unknown lands.
"We're here," Emperor Shang Zhang said.
Creak!
The flying chariot entered the Cloud Region and stopped at the border above the crowd.
Little Yuan 'er and Conch walked over and looked down at the same time.
Lu Zhou nodded. "Let's not talk about the Atheist Church for now."
"Alright."
The flying chariot descended.
It was at the same altitude as the flying chariot of the three emperors.
The cultivators below bowed in unison. "Greetings, Emperor Shang Zhang."
Shang Zhang waved his sleeve. "Rise."
The others shifted their gazes to Lu Zhou. Since he had stopped Hua Zhenghong earlier, it was clear that his cultivation base was powerful.
Since they did not know him, it was inappropriate for them to greet him.
The Crimson Emperor was the first to speak up. "Shang Zhang, you're only here now. Are you afraid that your people will lose?"
Shang Zhang said, "I was delayed by some trivial matters. I won't give up on the contest for the Hall Master position. "
The Azure Emperor looked at Lu Zhou with an appreciative expression on his face as he asked, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself since you fought Paragon Hua?"
"There's no need for that."
Lu Zhou was the first to speak.
With a flash of movement, he appeared in the Cloud Region.
He stared at Hua Zhenghong and said, "I'm the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, the others were shocked. This was especially true for Yue Yangzi who had 'slandered' the Evil Sky Pavilion. He had been searching for Yue Qi's murderer for a long time, and he did not expect to come knocking on his door!
Hua Zhenghong's expression was solemn. Her brows were tightly knitted together.
She was displeased by the fight earlier.
"He's the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion?!"
"I didn't expect his cultivation base to be so profound."
"The contest for the Hall Master position is lively."
Hua Zhenghong asked, "Why did you stop me?"
Lu Zhou's gaze was indifferent. He glanced at Yue Yangzi, the Green Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the White Emperor before he said, "You and Yue Yangzi are slandering the Evil Sky Pavilion. Don't tell me that I don't dare to defend myself?"
Hua Zhenghong said,
"This is Yue Yangzi's matter. It was a misunderstanding and it has been resolved."
"Are we going to believe whatever you say?" Lu Zhou said gruffly.
Hua Zhenghong did not know why the person in front of her was so hostile towards her. Even if the matter between her and Yue Yangzi was a little over the line, she was still one of the Four Great Supremes of the Divine Palace. Even the Three Great Emperors would not easily offend her.
"You are one of the Four Great Supremes of the Sacred Temple. You should set an example for all the cultivators in the world. Since the Evil Sky Pavilion is innocent, you and Yue Yangzi must be punished accordingly, "Lu Zhou said.
"Hmm?" Hua Zhenghong let out a long sound.
At this moment, Lu Zhou raised his voice and said, "Do you think you can escape punishment just because you're one of the Holy Temple's Four Great Supremes?"
The cultivators below were in an uproar.
Most of them nodded in agreement.
Perhaps, this was the attitude of the people at the bottom of the hierarchy. They hated Hua Zhenghong's actions. None of them dared to speak up. Therefore, when everyone spoke together, their voices were naturally louder.
"The Emperor has said that the Supremes are no different from the commoners when they break the law. That's the rule of the Great Void! "
"That's right. If there were no restrictions, the cultivators under the heavens could go around bullying the weak."
The White Emperor said, "Supremacy Hua, I think he has a point. You're one of the Four Great Supremes of the Holy Temple. You can't run away from your mistakes. You should set an example. Otherwise, how will the world look at the Holy Temple? "
Some rules were made in secret. When they were brought to the surface, they could not be so straightforward. They were old foxes who had lived for a long time. Who would not understand the simple principle of a superior controlling the life and death of the inferior? However, it depended on the situation and timing.
In this case, Lu Zhou was clearly in the right.
Hua Zhenghong was slightly angry, but she could only suppress it. She cupped her fists and said, "Yue Yangzi and I are willing to apologize to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
"If an apology is useful, why do we need the Ten Highnesses?"
"What do you think we should do, then?" Hua Zhenghong asked.
"Take three palm strikes from me, and I'll let this matter rest!" Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at Lu Zhou in shock.
They were merely grumbling. How could they really make the Four Great Supremes of the Holy Temple pay the price?
For the past 100,000 years, all the cultivators who tried to challenge the Holy Temple met tragic ends.
'Where does this person get his confidence from?!'
"Alright." Hua Zhenghong nodded.
