Chapter 1564 Death Announcement (2)
These words were not just a slap to Zhu Yong’s face, but they were tantamount to a punch to his face.
Zhu Yong asked, “Since when did Tu Wei Hall ally with Shang Zhang Hall?”
“Impudent!” Shang Zhang roared, sending a powerful soundwave out. It was thunderous and ear-piercing
Zhu Yong did not want to fight Shang Zhang so he lowered his head and said, “Girl, there are people who are outwardly kind, but they’re vicious and merciless in truth. They can even strangle their daughters to death. Think carefully about your decision.”
Shang Zhang could not hold back anymore.
Buzz!
A towering avatar appeared, flying toward Zhu Yong
Qi Sheng nodded slightly with a smile as he looked at the two supreme beings.
Zhu Yong did not want to be outdone so he brought his avatar out as well.
Boom!
The two avatars collided.
The wind and the clouds stirred, and the earth shook.
They flew 100 miles away in the sky.
In a short while, a thunderous explosion reverberated in the air.
At the same time, Zhu Yong fell from the sky. He quickly stabilized himself. His face was pale, and his body was shaking.
In just a blink of an eye, Shang Zhang returned to stand on the top of the red tiger’s head with his hands on his back. He said calmly, “A divine king is just a divine king, after all. For Ming Xin’s sake, I won’t argue with you.”
Zhu Yong looked at Shang Zhang unwillingly before he finally spat out, “Let’s go!”
With that, Zhu Yong flew away with his subordinates.
Qi Sheng clapped his hands. “As expected of Emperor Shang Zhang. You’re truly worthy of being a divine emperor. You defeated King Zhu Yong so easily.”
“Although Zhu Yong is just a divine king, he has many tricks up his sleeve. I merely took advantage of the difference in our cultivation bases,” Shang Zhang said. After that, he flicked his sleeve, bringing Conch to the red tiger’s back.
It was only at this time that Conch noticed there was another person on the red tiger’s back.
“Nine…”
Little Yuan’er shook her head, gesturing for Conch to stop speaking.
Conch fell silent immediately.
Shang Zhang said, “There are seven more seeds.”
Qi Sheng said, “Your Majesty, you have two more now. I’m afraid that any more than these won’t do.”
“Hm?” Shang Zhang was puzzled.
Humans were all greedy, and Shang Zhang was no exception. Before finding the Great Void Seeds, he thought finding one would be enough. Now that he had two, he wanted more. Moreover, he did not expect to obtain them so easily.
Qi Sheng said, “The White Emperor had done me a favor so I have to send two to him. Before leaving the Lost Island, I made him a promise. Great Void Emperor Ming Xin had also agreed to this.”
“Then, there are still another five,” Shang Zhang said, undeterred.
“I’ve received news that the Azure Emperor already has two of them,” Qi Sheng said. “The Azure Emperor? Ling Weiyang? That old man is very cunning,” Shang Zhang said. After that, he added, “Even then, there are still another three.”
Qi Sheng said again, “The Black Emperor took another two.”
“That old man Zhi Guangji has long stopped asking about the affairs of the Great Void. He’s really shameless. However, I don’t want to provoke him. What about the final seed?”
“I’m afraid it’s gone as well.”
“Why?”
“Great Void Emperor Ming Xin wants the last one,” Qi Sheng said.
Seeing that Shang Zhang remained silent, Qi Sheng asked, “Are you still going to continue?”
Shang Zhang looked at Qi Sheng meaningfully and only said, “Qi Sheng, you’re really talented. When you have the time, come and visit my hall.”
Then, Shang Zhang patted the red tiger lightly before he leaped into the air.
“I will.” Qi Sheng bowed. After Shang Zhang left, he added softly, “But it won’t be to see you.”
Then, Qi Sheng turned around to look at Zhao Hongfu, who was on the ground. He said, “I know your origin and capability. Since Emperor Shang Zhang spared your life, why didn’t you run away?” Zhao Hongfu said through gritted teeth, “I’ll remember you.”
Then, Zhao Hongfu turned around and left.
One of the Silver Guards scoffed before he asked “Commander, why did you let the tiger return to the mountain?”
“I have to keep my words, after all. If I did something to her, do you think that girl would willingly leave with Emperor Shang Zhang? Not only do we have to let her go, but we have to protect her as well. The hearts of the people are won not by intimidation,” Qi Sheng said.
VOIT
“Commander, you’re wise. I’m enlightened,” the Silver Guard said.
“Very well. Then, you have to ensure her safety. Remember that those who possess the Great Void Seeds are all future supreme beings. You can’t offend them,” Qi Sheng said.
The Silver Guards’ eyes widened slightly upon hearing this word. Although they knew this, they did not think much about it before. With Qi Sheng’s reminder, it was like they were jolted awake. Following that, all of them bowed in unison. “As you command!”
“Return to the Great Void.”
“Yes.”
With that Qi Sheng led everyone back to the Great Void.
Back in the Sacred Temple.
Ming Xin paced back and forth. It was as though he already knew the outcome as he nodded in satisfaction and said, “Shang Zhang has told me about what happened. You did a good job.”
Qi Sheng bowed. “It’s my duty.”
“I’m very curious. You didn’t have the Compass of Conservation so how did you find them?” Ming Xin asked.
“A sacred relic,” Qi Sheng replied honestly.
“A sacred relic? What kind of sacred relic is even better than the Compass of Conservation?” Ming Xin asked, “I have countless treasures in my hand so I won’t covet your treasure.”
Qi Sheng said, “Please have a look, Your Majesty.”
Then, Qi Sheng waved his hand.
A goatskin ancient map appeared in the air. The nine domains and the Unknown Land were clearly mapped out on the ancient goatskin map.
Upon seeing this, Ming Xin’s voice darkened as he said, “You actually possess the Unholy One’s Skynet Map?”.
Qi Sheng nodded. “That’s right.”
Ming Xin asked solemnly, “Do you know what the word ‘the Unholy One’ means?”
“I’ll be honest. I know these words are taboo in the Great Void so I didn’t mention this item. However, in my opinion, this item is just something to be used,” Qi Sheng said. “Where did you find it?” Ming Xin asked.
Qi Sheng replied, “At the bottom of the Endless Ocean.”
Ming Xin remained quiet. He paced with his hands on his back as he looked outside the hall. Then, he let out a long sigh and said, “It’s fate…”
Qi Sheng said without hesitation, “I’m willing to give this to Your Majesty.”
Ming Xin looked at Qi Sheng and said, “Since you found it, it belongs to you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Qi Sheng said before putting the Skynet Map away. He knew Ming Xin would not want the Skynet Map.
At this time, Wen Ruqing walked in and said directly, “Your Majesty, I’ve concluded my investigation.”
“How’s it?” Ming Xin asked.
Wen Ruqing did not reply. Instead, he looked at Qi Sheng Upon seeing this, Ming Xin said, “It’s fine. Speak.” Wen Ruqing said, “The Unholy One fell into the abyss. He’ll definitely be refined by the power of the earth in the abyss within 100 years. From now on, the Unholy One will no longer exist in the world.” Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Ming Xin’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Qi Sheng frowned slightly before his expression quickly returned to normal.
Ming Xin said in a deep voice, “Announce the death of the Unholy One to everyone in the Great Void!”
“Understood!”
Just as Wen Ruqing was about to leave, Qi Sheng suddenly called out, “Brother Wen, please wait.”
“What is it?” Wen Ruqing asked.
Qi Sheng looked at Ming Xin before he said, “I have a personal question to ask you, Brother Wen.”
Ming Xin waved his hand, allowing the duo to leave together.
After Qi Sheng followed Wen Ruqing out of the Sacred Temple, Wen Ruqing said, “Speak.”
Qi Sheng asked in a low voice, “Is the Unholy One really dead?”
Wen Ruqing nodded.
Qi Sheng frowned again. Then, he asked in a strange tone, “Brother Wen, you were once the Unholy One’s subordinate, right?”
CI
ce
“Impudent!” Wen Ruqing said angrily as he raised his voice, “Don’t think that you can act as you please just because you found the Great Void Seeds.”
Qi Sheng said, “I’m sorry. I was rude.”
With that, Wen Ruqing turned around and left with an unsightly expression on his face.
Soon after, the Great Void announced the death of the Unholy One to the world.
At night.
In the abyss.
Spots of light still drifted in the darkness of the abyss.
Lu Zhou’s eyes were closed. At this time, strange voices crying rang in his mind.
“Why did you leave just like that? You died so miserably!”
“You said you’d come back! How can you die before coming back?”
“You’re the Unholy One! So many people are waiting for your return! How much longer do you want us to wait?”
Cries after cries appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind.
Lu Zhou’s eyes remained closed. It was as though he was dreaming.
The dream lasted for a long time. Every day, different voices would appear. Some cursed at him, some cried, and some laughed.
