Zhu Honggong's escape caught everyone by surprise.
It was a resounding slap to the faces of those cultivators who thought highly of him.
The Evil Sky Pavilion's disciple, the possessor of the Great Void Seed who had entered the Holy Temple, and the person whom Emperor Darkheart had taken a liking to, had fled without a care for their opinions.
Was this even something a human could do?
The one who felt the most awkward was none other than the Master who was floating in the sky. His brows were almost knitted together, even though he maintained the posture and imposing manner that a Master should have. After the short period of awkwardness, he scolded, "Evil disciple."
The Azure Thearch laughed heartily and said, "This young man is interesting. I like him."
White Emperor added, "That's right.
"A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. This is how it should be."
After hearing so much flattery, it was inevitable that he would become immune.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Cowardly as a mouse."
Seven Lives could only helplessly say, "Xi and the Holy Maiden won this round without a fight. Is there anyone else willing to challenge them?"
If there had been a tiny bit of hope before, then after seeing Lan Xihe's light wheel, that hope had been ruthlessly trampled underfoot and crushed into pieces, not even leaving a trace.
For a Dao Saint to defeat a Supreme Being, it was no different from a fantasy.
Everyone shook their heads. The cultivators from the other nine palaces shook their heads.
"No one wants to challenge him?" Seven Lives asked.
It was very quiet in the Cloud Region.
No one responded.
Seven Lives had no choice but to announce, "Then I will directly announce that the head of Imperial Concubine Xi's palace hall is …"
"Wait."
Lan Xihe suddenly interrupted Seven Lives' words.
Seven Lives was slightly puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Lan Xihe said, "I'm afraid I won't continue to be the head of Hall Master Xi."
"Why?" Seven Lives was even more confused.
Everyone discussed among themselves, not knowing what Lan Xihe was doing.
Lan Xihe said: "According to the rules of the Ten Great Void Palaces, I have the ability and qualifications to be the palace master of Imperial Concubine Xi Palace!"
They noticed that Lan Xihe had used the word 'Palace Lord' instead of 'Palace Head'.
Seven Lives frowned. "You want to be the Hall Master?"
Lan Xihe asked, "Do you think I'm not qualified?"
"No no no."
Seven Lives smiled and said, "If even you aren't qualified, then no one else is. However, I cannot make the decision on this matter. You should ask the Temple. "
The Scarlet Emperor interrupted at this moment:
"This is the Ten Palaces' own business. Since when do we have to listen to the Divine Palace?"
The Three Great Thearchs basically didn't live in the Great Void. They believed that such matters could be decided by each hall.
Seven Lives said helplessly, "It's always been like that."
"…"
His words were very straightforward.
Who wouldn't be convinced that the Temple was above the Ten Temples?
Lan Xihe said, "I will explain this matter to the Sacred Hall."
He turned around and faced the cultivators of Xihe Palace, including Ouyang Xunsheng.
Ouyang Xunsheng was in a daze the entire time. He paid close attention to Lu Zhou's every move. He was shocked by Lu Zhou's cultivation base, and he recalled Jie Jinan's words. His thoughts were complicated.
Lan Xihe asked, "What about you?"
Ouyang Xunsheng regained his composure and was the first to bow. "From now on, Saint Xi will be the Hall Master of Hall Master Xi. Greetings, Hall Master! "
"Paying respects to Hall Master!"
The cultivators of Imperial Concubine Xi knelt together.
In fact, she was already the owner of Imperial Concubine Xi's palace hall. She just lacked sufficient cultivation and an opportunity to mature.
The Cloud Region was the best place.
The right time, the right place, and the right people were all here. If he didn't announce it now, when would he?
The cultivators of Imperial Harmony Palace had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Lan Xihe nodded his head in satisfaction and said with a smile, "You may rise."
Everyone stood up.
In this way, the position of the head of Imperial Concubine Imperial Concubine Hall was vacant.
The Hall Master was the master of a Hall, the controller, the person with the highest position in the Hall, equivalent to the master. The Palace Head was the manager of all the affairs in the Palace, similar to a butler.
Lan Xihe turned around and said,
"Right now, Imperial Concubine Xi Palace Hall is still missing a Palace Head."
Right after he finished speaking, the crowd below burst into an uproar.
"I'll do it! I'm willing to be the head of Xi He Palace and follow the Saintess' lead! "
"Let me do it. No matter what, Imperial Concubine Queen is one of the Ten Palaces. In terms of ability and cultivation, I'm not weaker than any of you."
"Strength is not determined by words!"
In the face of everyone's heated debate, Seven Lives said, "If you want to be the palace head, can't you just decide who is better in the Cloud Region?"
Everyone nodded.
Lan Xihe shook his head and said, "No need."
"What do you think, Saintess Xi?"
"I think that Zhu Honggong who ran away is very suitable to be the Palace Head of Imperial Concubine Xi Palace," Lan Xihe said.
"…"
These words caused the cultivators present to exchange glances with each other. They were dissatisfied.
How could such a cowardly and cowardly person be worthy of being the Palace Head of Imperial Concubine Hall?
Lan Xihe said in a clear voice, "Naturally, I admire Miss Ye more.
"Of course, I admire Lady Ye more. If Your Majesty is willing to exchange with me, I will be very grateful."
She turned to look at the shocked Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin was the White Tower's Master.
She was one of the people Lan Xihe was most familiar with.
The White Emperor said with a smile, "There's no need for that. Ye Tianxin has already become the Palace Head of Soft Omen Hall. It's not in line with the rules to switch back and forth."
'I'll let you have the timid one!'
Lan Xihe had no choice but to give up since the Great Emperor had spoken.
Lan Xihe looked at Lu Zhou in the sky and said, "Pavilion Master Lu, that's your disciple. What do you think?"
At this moment, the Red Emperor said disapprovingly.
"Although they're master and disciple, they're now in the Great Void. Their cultivation bases are above the Dao Saint realm. Their disciples have the freedom to pursue their own goals. "
This was what the Green Emperor and the White Emperor were worried about.
They had nurtured the Great Void Seed for a long time. In the end, it would be a waste of effort if it was given to someone else.
Everyone in the world was motivated by profit. They were great emperors, overlords, powerful cultivators who had a foothold in the Great Void and even the Nine Lotus Realm. This should be enough for them to stay and work for them. They should not listen to the orders of their former 'master'.
Lu Zhou snorted.
"Chi Fen's fury, how dare you talk about freedom?
You imprisoned Di Nü Sang in Rooster Crow. Now, Chi Fen is about to collapse. Do you even care about her life or death? "
The Red Emperor was an ancient cultivator who had experienced the long river of time. When he heard this, he could not help but feel a slight change in his expression.
Lu Zhou had mentioned his daughter twice in a row. This was infuriating.
The Red Emperor said unhappily, "You're being too nosy, sir."
"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't even have bothered with you," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
The Red Emperor turned to look at Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin.
They could not fight, but they could not lose in terms of momentum!
The Red Emperor stared at the two of them and said, "Since you're disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion, I'll give you a choice. You can either stay in the Flaming Water Region or scram!"
Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng, "?"
'Uh …'
'Both of you are quarreling, and you're making us the scapegoats?'
'There's no justice in this!'
"Uh …"
"Uh …"
Mingshi Yin stammered.
The Red Emperor said, "What are you talking about? I'm not threatening you!"
"Your Majesty, if that's what you say, I'll choose my master," Mingshi Yin replied.
"…"
The Red Emperor felt a lump in his throat. 'What an ingrate!'
Duanmu Sheng said expressionlessly, "A master for a day is a father for life. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The Red Emperor. "…"
The Azure Emperor Ling Wei laughed and said, "Red Emperor, why are you asking for trouble? They've trained their disciples for centuries. What have you done in the past 100 years that they're so loyal to you? It's one thing to be indebted to them, but aren't you asking for trouble if you insist on making a choice? "
This was the same as asking who should be saved first if their mother and daughter-in-law fell into the river. Moreover, the Red Emperor was not at that stage yet.
"Since you've protected them for 100 years, I won't lower myself to your level," Lu Zhou said.
The Red Emperor wanted to retort, but the Azure Emperor and White Emperor hastily tried to smooth things over.
Shang Zhang tried to persuade the Red Emperor as well.
The Red Emperor did not want to make things too tense. He had to make use of Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin's return to the Great Void. If things turned sour, these two ingrates would not remember this favor. Moreover, it was unnecessary.
…
After the two bosses finished their argument.
Lan Xihe said, "Pavilion Master Lu, you haven't answered me."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Naturally, I have no objections if you want Old Eighth to be the Temple Master."
Qi Sheng said with a smile, "I'm sure no one has any objections."
He swept his gaze across the area.
The people of the Ten Palaces of the Grand Void Palace and the cultivators below remained silent. Their faces were filled with dissatisfaction.
Qi Sheng said, "Are you dissatisfied?"
One of the Dao Saints below bowed and said, "Of course not."
There was no sign of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Qi Sheng shook his head and said, "I entered the Holy Palace with him. To tell you the truth, his cultivation base is not inferior to mine. If you're dissatisfied, you can challenge him at any time. This is my promise. If I lie, let the heavenly lightning strike Qi Sheng to death. "
"…"
The others were shocked when they heard this.
Qi Sheng's words were solemn and did not sound like he was joking.
This was the end of his words.
As long as one was not a fool, they would not challenge him. Moreover, there was a person who was extremely protective of his people. He seemed fair on the surface, but he did not seem like a good person.
Fine, if they could not afford to offend him, they could afford to hide.
The others bowed. "Congratulations, Holy Lady."
Lan Xihe nodded. He looked at Lu Zhou and said, "Pavilion Master Lu, it's been a long time since we parted ways in the unknown lands. 100 years ago, I heard that you appeared in Xu Tianqi. I waited there for three days, but I didn't manage to meet you. If you have time, would you like to come to Xi He Palace for a chat? "
Mingshi Yin nudged Duanmu Sheng with his elbow. Duanmu Sheng did not understand. Mingshi Yin nudged him a few more times and said in a low voice, "There's something fishy going on!"
Lu Zhou said, "Sure."
Lan Xihe smiled. "Please."
Lu Zhou flew toward Imperial Concubine Xi's flying chariot.
Everyone was shocked, envious, jealous … and hateful.
Seven Lives said in a clear voice, "This year's Palace Head Battle has come to a successful conclusion. I am very grateful for everyone's support and cooperation."
Everyone began to leave the hall.
Red Deity wanted to stay in the Great Void, but when he saw Shang Zhang returning to the flying carriage, he couldn't help but think of the mulberry tree under the Opening Rooster's Cry. He said, "Let's go to the Opening Rooster's Cry."
"Yes."
He looked at Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng and said, "Are you coming with me, or are you staying?"
Mingshi Yin said with a smile, "Of course, I'm leaving with His Majesty. My master has taught me that one must be grateful. We're all one family, so we shouldn't differentiate between friend and foe. Otherwise, we'll be no different from beasts. "
The Scarlet Emperor frowned. Why did it feel like he was indirectly scolding the locust tree?
The two of them followed the Scarlet Emperor to an unknown place.
The White Emperor and the Lotus Emperor exchanged a look and smiled. The White Emperor said, "Shall we find a place to talk?" “
"That's a good idea," Ling Wei said.
The two Emperors' flying chariot left the Cloud Region as well.
Tu Wei Hall's flying chariot was the last to leave.
They boarded the flying chariot.
The Silver-Armored Guard said, "It's not done well enough."
"Don't be so obsessive. It's about time," Jiang Aijian said.
"Old Eighth, it must be the Palace Head of Chongguang Hall," the Silver-Armored Guard said sternly.
"Alright, you win. I'm not in the right state of mind today," Seven Lives apologized.
"Let's return to Tu Wei for now," the Silver-Armored Guard said.
Seven Lives nodded and returned to the flying chariot. He bade farewell to the three Great Emperors and the other nine palaces before leaving the Cloud Region.
The Silver-Armored Guard said, "Also, you shouldn't have removed your mask."
"I had no choice in that situation," Jiang Aijian said.
"With me around, nobody can remove your mask."
"I'll put it back on now. There's no difference." Jiang Aijian spread his arms.
The Silver-Armored Guard said, "Fool."
"Are you insulting me?" Jiang Aijian looked at the Silver-Armored Guard. He wanted to argue, but when he saw the Silver-Armored Guard's imposing manner, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't mind me. I'm just a little stupid."
"If your identity is exposed, nobody in the Great Void will think that Seven Lives is Si Wuya. I'm afraid there will be variables, "the Silver-Armored Guard said.
"No way …" Jiang Aijian shook his head.
"There's nothing impossible about it. The plan must be foolproof. Have you considered that Emperor Darkheart knows everything?" the Silver-Armored Guard said.
"…"
Jiang Aijian was shocked. He did not expect this.
All this while, their plan had been flawless. The cultivators of the Ten Temples of the Great Void trusted them without a doubt. Even the Four Great Venerables did not suspect them when Emperor Darkheart entrusted them with such a heavy responsibility.
Now that he thought about it, it was indeed too smooth.
"Oh no, what do we do now?"
The Silver-Armored Guard said, "One word: wait."
He felt that his words were not convincing enough so he added, "Wait for him to wake up."
Jiang Aijian smacked his head and said, "Old Si is really something. He knows I'm stupid, but he still sent me."
…
Meanwhile.
Great Void, in the Sacred Temple.
Hua Zhenghong knelt in the temple, looking battered. She reported everything that happened in the Cloud Region.
Emperor Darkheart's figure flashed and appeared in front of her. He said, "He defeated you in three palms?"
"I did not expect his cultivation to be so high and his methods to be so ruthless. I clearly felt that his realm was not high. I was careless this time and fell for his tricks. Fortunately, the Temple Head battle went smoothly. "
Emperor Darkheart said indifferently, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Hua Zhenghong lowered her head and did not argue anymore. A loss was a loss. She said, "What I did not expect was that Seven Lives … is not Si Wuya."
Emperor Darkheart frowned slightly. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Where is Yue Yangzi?"
"He and Green Bird are both injured," Hua Zhenghong said.
"Wen Ruqing, Guan Jiu," Emperor Darkheart said.
Two figures appeared in the temple and bowed. "Temple Master, please give us your orders."
"Execute Yue Yangzi," Emperor Darkheart said indifferently.
"Yes."
The two figures vanished.
Emperor Darkheart looked at Hua Zhenghong again and said, "In your opinion, what's the background of the Evil Sky Pavilion's master?"
Hua Zhenghong lowered her head and said reluctantly,
She said with slight reluctance, "I think it's highly likely that he's an unfamiliar expert from the Lost Lands."
She had another thought in her mind, but she did not dare to voice it. She felt that the three palms were domineering and ferocious.
"An unfamiliar expert?" Emperor Darkheart was puzzled.
Hua Zhenghong said, "Please help me, Your Majesty. A 300,000-year-old light wheel … I … I …"
Emperor Darkheart shook his head and said with a sigh, "You're not a child anymore."
"…"
Hua Zhenghong lowered her body again.
Emperor Darkheart tossed out a pill that glowed with jade-green light. "This is the Profound Revolving Heavenly Pill. Go and reflect on yourself."
Hua Zhenghong caught the pill and said joyfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You may leave."
"Understood."
Hua Zhenghong left the temple.
Just as she walked out of the temple …
Emperor Darkheart's figure faded away.
Nobody knew where he went.
