My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1621: The Reveal (2)

With time, many things were gradually forgotten, but many things were also gradually confirmed. Some things once done could no longer be corrected no matter how much time had passed.

Kong Junhua did not know how to feel now that someone suddenly told her those things of the past were all fake.

Shang Zhang could not stop trembling. His eyes burned brightly as he said, “I want evidence.”

Xuan Yi, ever as faithful, said, “Pavilion Master Lu is all the evidence you need!”

“Emperor Xuanyi, you believe him?!” Wu Xing exclaimed in surprise.

“He’s the person I trust most in this world!” Xuanyi said, brimming with unwavering conviction that was clear for everyone to see.

“...”

Wu Xing shook his head and chuckled before he said, “I’ll remember what happened today! I’ll remember these slanderous words and report this to my ancestor and the Sacred Temple. I don’t believe no one in the Great Void will uphold justice!”

Then, Wu Xing waved his hand, preparing to leave.

If Shang Zhang allowed Wu Xing to leave, it would be difficult for Lu Zhou to keep Wu Xing here with his current cultivation base.

“Wait a moment.”

Conch stepped forward.

Everyone looked at Conch.

A delighted and surprised expression appeared on Wu Xing’s face immediately. He thought Conch was going to follow him back to Xuan Meng Hall.

Conch’s expression was very calm as she said, “I can prove that what my master said is true.”

“Hm?” Shang Zhang looked at Conch in confusion and asked, “How can you prove it?”

After all, Conch was so young. How could she know about what happened 110,000 years ago?

Conch raised her arm and rolled up her sleeve wordlessly, exposing her fair arm. Then, she tapped two fingers lightly on her arm, revealing a conch-shaped mark on her wrist. The mark glowed dazzlingly.

Everyone was stunned.

Conch continued to say calmly, “My mother’s name is Luo Xuan. She loved a cultivator from the red lotus domain. She was unrestrained and carefree, and she loved studying the shackles of heaven and earth. She stayed away from secular affairs and liked to wander the world. She hates war and killing. She was one of the first few people to discover the Unknown Land. She was very brave, and she was the one who saved me in the Unknown Land and gave me the name Luo Shiyin.”

Everyone was puzzled. They did not understand what her words had to do with the matter at hand.

Lu Zhou seemed to have realized something and frowned slightly. However, he did not stop Conch.

Conch continued to talk about her life in the red lotus domain, her mother’s disappearance, becoming an orphan, and her memory loss. Finally, she said, “When I met my mother again, she passed her cultivation to me. From then on, I would dream of strange scenes. There was a mountain and rivers in my dreams…”

Shang Zhang asked solemnly, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Conch did not seem to hear Shang Zhang as she continued to say, “In my dreams, the mountain was green. It was summer all year round. The scenery was extremely beautiful. People called it… Mount Nanhua.”

Following that, the mark on Conch’s wrist suddenly flashed before two red dazzling characters appeared in the air: Shang Zhang.

Thump!

Kong Junhua staggered backward and fell. The female attendants hastily helped her up.

Shang Zhang’s eyes widened when he saw the two characters in the air.

Xuanyi, Wu Xing, and everyone else looked at Conch in shock and disbelief.

“H-how, how’s this possible?!” Wu Xing gulped.

Shang Zhang instinctively took a step back, unable to wrap his mind around this. Even as a divine emperor, he could not maintain his calm at this moment. He kept shaking his head.

Upon seeing Shang Zhang’s attitude, Conch rolled down her sleeve, and the two red characters disappeared. With another tap on her arm, the mark on her wrist disappeared. Then, she said calmly, “I hid this mark because… I only have one mother. Her name is Luo Xuan. I have no other family members. Not now, and not in the future.”

“...”

The entire place was as silent as a graveyard.

Perhaps, Conch was the only one who was truly calm in the entire hall. She had seen the scenes in dreams a thousand times, and she had repeated today’s scene in her heart countless times. Her heart had ached when she had replayed the scenes in her dreams and heart, but they had been repeated so many times that she was no longer affected.

Little Yuan’er was not stupid; she naturally understood everything. She really wanted to comfort Conch, but she was afraid she would not be able to say the right words. In the end, she could only shuther mouth.

Xuanyi, who had regained his senses, was the first to break the silence. “If she’s really the harbinger of disaster, how many years have passed since then? Why isn’t there any change in the Great Void over the past years?”

“...”

“If she’s a jinx, then where’s the disaster? Are you going to say the imbalance and the collapse of Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction are the disaster?” Xuanyi continued to say in a slightly angry voice. He really thought Conch was pitiful and felt indignant on her behalf. He asked, “Emperor Shang Zhang, what do you think?”

Shang Zhang staggered back and sat on his throne wordlessly, looking as though he had lost his soul.

Conch turned around. She stood in front of Lu Zhou and bowed before she said calmly, “I have the Great Void Seed so I’m the best candidate to be the commander of a hall. Xuan Meng Hall is short of people. If master has no objection, I’m willing to become the Commander of Xuan Meng Hall.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “If it were anything else, I’d agree, but not this.” Then, he turned to look at Wu Xing and said, “For now, it’s still very filthy.”

Wu Xing fell to the ground.

Lu Zhou looked at everyone indifferently before he turned to walk outside.

Little Yuan’er and Conch hurried after their master.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Cultivators from Shang Zhang Hall appeared one after another at the entrance of the hall, looking at them like tigers eyeing their prey.

“The two ladies aren’t allowed to leave Shang Zhang Hall without permission!”

Lu Zhou raised his hand, and Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared in his hand. Then, he said tonelessly, “Don’t force me to start a massacre.”

The cultivators looked at Unnamed that emitted a terrifying power. All of them could tell it was a void-grade weapon. No one dared to move or fight with Lu Zhou who wielded a void-grade weapon.

At this moment, Shang Zhang said, “Let them go.”

With that, the cultivators retreated in unison.

Lu Zhou flew out, followed by Xuanyi, Little Yuan’er, and Conch.

…

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Wu Xing rose to his feet and bowed at Shang Zhang as he said, “Your Majesty, I still have to report back so I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell.”

Wu Xing and his entourage quickly walked toward the entrance of the hall. Just as they were about to leave, Shang Zhang’s gloomy voice rang in the air. “Since you’re here, you can’t leave.”

Shang Zhang was expressionless as he waved his sleeve.

The space at the entrance of the hall began to twist and distort.

Swoosh!

The cultivators with Wu Xing were sent flying as they vomited blood.

Wu Xing’s expression changed drastically. He quickly turned around and said, “Your Majesty, you can’t trust him!”

Shang Zhang ignored Wu Xing as he called out in a frosty voice, “Men.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several cultivators appeared in the hall in just a flash.

“Drag him away and cripple him,” Shang Zhang said.

“Understood.”

Two cultivators stepped forward immediately.

Wu Xing roared, “Shang Zhang, how dare you?! Do you really think Xuan Meng Hall is easy to bully? If you dare to touch even a strand of my hair, my ancestor will never let you go!”

Shang Zhang’s eyes burned brightly as he said, “Break his limbs.”

“Understood.”

Just as Wu Xing was about to struggle, Shang Zhang waved his hand. A light seal flew out and hit Wu Xing’s chest. Wu Xing was sent flying before he was caught by four cultivators.

Crack!

Each of the cultivators broke each of Wu Xing’s limbs.

“Keep him alive. I want to see how Wu Zu is going to explain this,” Shang Zhang said.

“Understood!”

Shang Zhang returned to his throne, still looking dazed. He turned to look at Kong Junhua. She had long fainted and was lying in the female attendant’s arms.

“Take Madam to rest.”

“Understood.”

After Kong Junhua was brought away, Shang Zhang stayed in the hall for a very long time. His expression was so calm that it was terrifying.

After who-knew-how-long had passed, Shang Zhang finally stood up. He felt numb all over his body. He took a deep breath.

At this time, a cultivator entered the hall and asked, “What are your orders, Your Majesty?”

“Prepare the flying chariot. I want to go to Xuanyi Hall.”

“Understood.”

“Wait,” Shang Zhang called out before he said, “This matter must be kept a secret. Also, bring the things in my Dao hall with you.”

“Understood.”
