My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1510 - Friend or Foe?

Chapter 1510 Friend or Foe?

Dao Saint Li did not stand on ceremony and sat on Chen Fu’s seat. Hence, Chen Fu had no choice but to stand.

Chen Fu was heavily injured; he relied on his cultivation base and whatever energy he had left to support himself. The person in front of him was Li Chun, a Dao Saint from the Xuanyi Palace. Li Chun was also the envoy that the Great Void sent from time to time.

Li Chun continued to size Lu Zhou up with a smile on his face. He could not help but feel curious when he saw Lu Zhou’s attitude that was neither servile nor overbearing; clearly, Lu Zhou did intend to ingratiate himself with him who came from the Great Void. He said, “The Great Void had always appreciated talents. There are very few in the nine domains who are capable of becoming Saints. I’ll give you a chance to join the Great Void if you’re willing.”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “I’m used to living a solitary life and don’t like to be tied down. I appreciate your offer.”

Before confirming if the other party was a friend or foe, Lu Zhou did not want to make any great movements. It was unnecessary to make too many enemies. Li Chun calmly said, “Those who reject the Great Void will have a hard time in the future. Chen Fu, what do you think?”

Chen Fu, who rejected the Great Void in the past, was now severely injured. He was indeed a good example.

Chen Fi said, “My friend likes being free and unrestrained…”

“Birds of a feather flock together. Both of you are really similar,” Li Chun said with a sigh. He did not continue with that topic. Instead, he said to Chen Fu, “Sit down and chat with me.”

Chen Fu flicked his sleeve. A chair flew over and quietly landed behind him. After he sat down, he asked, “May I ask why Dao Saint Li came to my Autumn Dew Mountain?”

Li Chun replied, “I came here for three things…” He did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked at Lu Zhou.

Chen Fu said, “He’s one of us.”

With that, Li Chun said, “First, a Dao Saint from Tu Wei Hall was here. Did you see him?”

“A Dao Saint from Tu Wei Hall?”

“The leader of the silver-armored guards, Dao Saint Jiang Wenxu,” Li Chun said.

Chen Fu shook his head. “I’ve never met such a person before.”

At the same time, Chen Fu recalled the Great Void token that Liu Zheng possessed. He wondered if Liu Zheng had met the person Li Chun mentioned before.

On the other hand, when Lu Zhou heard this name, he asked, “Jiang Wenxu is a Dao Saint of Tu Wei Hall?”

“You know him?” Li Chun was slightly surprised.

Lu Zhou deliberately said, “In the past, the golden lotus domain had a Grand Tutor called Jiang Wenxu. Perhaps, they only share the same name…”

Li Chun chuckled. “I guess you haven’t seen him either?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. Inwardly, he thought to himself, ‘If I see him, I’ll kill him with a slap regardless of the consequences…’

“As for the second matter…” Li Chun said, “I once led a team to Mount Halcyon to look for the Unholy One’s sacred relic, the Hourglass of Time. Since Yue Qi had lost it, we haven’t been able to find it. However, there are rumors that traces of the Hourglass of Time could be seen in the Unknown Land. Chen Fu, you’re a Great Saint. Do you know the whereabouts of this relic?”

Lu Zhou’s expression remained the same when Li Chun mentioned the Hourglass of Time. He thought to himself, ‘It’s best to use it less in the future. Too many people covet this item. It’s really useful, after all. What kind of ability did Yue Qi have? He didn’t deserve to use this item at all.”

Chen Fu said, “The Unholy One? I remember you mentioned him as well during your last visit. Is his item so good?”

Li Chun smiled. “You know too little about the Unholy One.” Then, he said, filled with praise, “He was someone that even the Five Emperors are afraid of.”

At this time, Lu Zhou interjected, “If he was so powerful, why did he fall?”

Li Chun glanced at Lu Zhou before he tonelessly said, “He fell onto the diabolic path and went astray. The ten halls of the Great Void sacrificed everything and lost four supreme beings just to get rid of him.”

Lu Zhou was inwardly surprised. Outwardly, his expression was calm as he said, “Fell onto the diabolic path?”

Li Chun said, “There are some things that you’re better off not knowing…” At this time, Chen Fu asked, “What’s the third matter about?”

“The third matter…” Li Chun paused before he said, “After your time comes to an end, I want to bring your disciples to the Great Void. I want them to join Xuanyi Palace’s Dark Guards.”

Chen Fu did not speak. He only looked at Li Chun calmly. In fact, he knew he had no way to stop Li Chun nor did he have the right to negotiate now. It was the Great Void, after all, and this had always been how they did things.

Li Chun also came here only to notify Chen Fu; he was not asking for permission. He only extended the courtesy of informing Chen Fu because Chen Fu had maintained the balance in Great Han for many years. After a long silence, Chen Fu asked, “Is the Great Void really not afraid that Great Han will perish along with me?”

“The geographical position of the twin lotus domain is unique. It’s connected to the Unknown Land through a narrow and fragile land. The ancient formation and the mark you left behind have already been repaired by the power of heaven and earth,” Li Chun said. Realization dawned on Chen Fu. He once thought as long as the land that connected to the Unknown Land was cut off, the twin lotus domain would be completely cut off from the Unknown Land. He had assumed the land would sink into the ground, forever lost, or drift on the Endless Ocean, becoming a lost land like Mount Halcyon. He did not expect the land would be repaired.

Over the past 1,000 years, Chen Fu had gone to that place to observe, and he had long discovered small abnormalities. He could sense a special force in the earth that mended the cracks on earth. It was similar to the force that mended the Pillars of Destruction. He did not know what the force was or where it came from.

The cracks appeared more frequently on the Pillars of Destruction while the cracks on earth were greatly reduced.

Chen Fu had once speculated that the force was related to the heaven and earth shackles. Based on the law of conservation, humans could not break free from the shackles and could not live forever. The power of dead cultivators would return to heaven and earth again.

Li Chun sighed softly. “Since the emperor personally punished you, there’s nothing I can do to help you. I can only help you look after your disciples.”

Chen Fu still remained silent.

Lu Zhou finally broke the silence and said, “They might not be willing to go with you.”

“Everyone yearns to go to the Great Void. Why would you even think they might be unwilling?” Li Chun said.

“Well, you’ll only know once you ask them,” Lu Zhou said.

Li Chun said, “After joining the Dark Guards of Xuanyi Palace, they’ll at least have a home. They won’t have to guard Autumn Dew Mountain. If it’s the Tu Wei Hall, they won’t even give you a choice.”

Lu Zhou rose to his feet and clasped his hands on his back before he said, “I disagree.”

From the moment Lu Zhou learned about the Great Void, his impression of it had constantly been declining. Currently, he had developed a deep hatred for it. Li Chun smiled faintly and said, “What do you have in mind? If you can convince me, I’ll leave immediately.”

Chen Fu, who could sense Li Chun’s simmering anger, said, “Don’t be angry, Dao Saint Li. We can slowly discuss this matter.”

Li Chun said, “Do you know how many people want to join the Great Void but don’t have the chance? Currently, the Great Void lacks manpower. Tu Wei Hall is trying to recruit talents everywhere so how can I lag behind? Over the years, there are some people who were recognized by the Pillars of Destruction. If I can find them, I’ll take them with me. No matter who they are, there’s no room for negotiation.”

“Is that so?” Lu Zhou turned around and looked at Li Chun before he said, “Can this convince you?”

Whoosh!

Lu Zhou pushed his hand out.

A jade token appeared in front of Li Chun’s face. In the middle of the jade token was the word ‘white’.

“White Emperor.”
