My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1619 - The Calamity of the Ten Celestial Stars

Chapter 1619: The Calamity of the Ten Celestial Stars

Everyone in the Great Void knew this item. The Solar and Lunar Concentric Jade, rumored to be a sacred relic, was obtained from a fallen meteorite. It contained unfathomable power, and its main uses were to extend one’s lifespan, increase one’s cultivation speed, and ward off bad energy. Apart from that, it had a terrifying ability. When activated, it would erect a temporary space with absolutely impenetrable defenses. Its ability was the most precious thing about the Solar and Lunar Concentric Jade. With it, Little Yuan’er and Conch would be able to leave safely if they were in danger.
Wu Xing’s eyes were bright as he said, “It’s actually the Solar and Lunar Concentric Jade! Your Majesty, you really spared no effort on these two.”
Kong Junhua chimed in, “The concentric jade is originally a personal item of mine and my husband. If we didn’t treat them as our children, why would we give the jade away so easily?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Even Xuanyi did not expect Shang Zhang to give the two girls such a precious item. There was nothing he could say at this moment. In the end, he turned to look at his teacher. No matter what, everything depended on his teacher’s attitude.
Lu Zhou’s expression remained indifferent, but his eyes flashed with a hint of contempt as he said in a slightly cold voice, “You are shameless enough to speak about daughters?”
This was Shang Zhang’s weakness.
One should not easily hit another person’s weak spot, after all.
Even Xuanyi would not easily bring up the past in front of Shang Zhang.
Kong Junhua looked at Lu Zhou in shock.
Shang Zhang had reminded himself that Lu Zhou was Little Yuan’er and Conch’s master so he had been patient and tolerant earlier. However, he really could not take it anymore at this moment. He said with a wave of his sleeve, “Impudent!”
Emperor Xuan Wei turned to look at his teacher. This matter still depended on his teacher’s attitude.
Lu Zhou’s expression was still indifferent. There was still some contempt in his eyes. He said in a slightly cold tone, “You still have the face to talk about your own daughter?”
This was Shangzhang’s weakness.
As the saying went, one shouldn’t hit a person in the face.
Even Emperor Xuanwei wouldn’t easily talk about the past in front of Shangzhang.
Kong Junhua was slightly taken aback as he looked at the person in front of him.
Shangzhang Nian had always been polite and tolerant because he was the master of the two servant girls. He couldn’t take it anymore and immediately waved his sleeve, “How dare you!”
The strength of a divine emperor was not something ordinary cultivators could compare to. However, Shang Zhang did not want to be ruthless; he only wanted to punish the person in front of him.
When the power of the Dao swept toward Lu Zhou, he mobilized all the divine power in his body, and faint light shrouded him. During this period of time, his divine power had improved a lot. As such, it easily canceled out Shang Zhang’s power.
Shang Zhang was slightly surprised.
Wu Xing was also surprised. To be able to block Shang Zhang’s attack meant that the other party’s cultivation was not simple at all.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “Since you took good care of my disciples in the past 100 years, I won’t hold this against you.”
At this moment, Shang Zhang also realized the other party was not as simple as he had imagined. After all, how could an ordinary person survive the fierce battle at Dun Zang’s Pillar of Destruction? With this, he became more cautious.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and turned to say, “How can I trust you with my disciples when you can even abandon your biological daughter?”
Upon hearing this, Kong Junhua, Shang Zhang’s wife, said emotionally, “Sir, why do you have to be so hostile. You only know bits and pieces; you don’t know everything. How can you blame us for that?”
“I have the most right to speak about that matter,” Wu Xing said as he stepped forward and cupped his fists together at the crowd, “Back then, His Majesty and his wife gave birth to a child. Everyone in Shang Zhang Hall celebrated joyously. Alas, she was the harbinger of disaster. When she was born, the Great Void’s sky was calm and clear. All nine celestial stars were aligned, forming the perfect auspicious alignment. However, soon after, the tenth celestial star joined the alignment, and it immediately turned into the most inauspicious alignment ever. Why do you think Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction collapsed first?”
Wu Xing paused briefly before he continued to say, “Dunzang corresponds with Shang Zhang Hall. It’s right below Shang Zhang Hall. In the past, Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction had cracked badly once. Great Emperor Ming Xin led four supreme beings to mend it. After that, every year, on the birthday of the harbinger of disaster, there would be strange movements at all ten Pillars of Destruction. For the greater good, His Majesty and his wife had no choice but to part with their beloved child.”
Wu Xing sighed after he finished speaking. His words were meant to convey that Shang Zhang and Kong Junhua were great parents, and they should not be mocked.
A few people in the hall sighed and some shed tears.
One of Kong Junhua’s female attendants mustered up her courage and said, “At that time, Madam wept for days and nights. She couldn’t sleep at all.”
Everyone sighed again.
Only Lu Zhou looked lost in his thoughts. No one knew what was on his mind. After a moment, he asked, “So you killed her?”
Wu Xing said, “Even a tiger doesn’t harm its own cub. How could His Majesty do that? She died from the curse of the balance.”
“The curse of the balance?”
“She was born under a calamitous star; she was the harbinger of disaster. Her very existence conflicted with the balance of the Great Void. The power of the balance permeates the Great Void. The Sacred Temple’s Scales of Justice can sense it. The law of balance and the law of conservation are absolute in this world. If there’s something that contradicts it, there would be a backlash. It was unfortunate that my ancestor couldn’t remove her curse. After she died, His Majesty buried her in Nanhua.”
Kong Junhua grew even sadder when she heard these words.
At this moment, Shang Zhang said, “I don’t want to talk about this. Since Wu Xing has said it, I have nothing more to say. Elder Ji, I understand that you love your disciples. However, the commanders’ competition has started. Even if Conch doesn’t go to Xuan Meng Hall, she’ll still have to go to other halls. The imbalance in the nine domains is worsening. If the Great Void can’t stabilize the situation, in the end, the imbalance is going to destroy the world. No human or fierce beast will be able to escape at that time.”
Wu Xing bowed and said, “Old sir, please consider the bigger picture. I guarantee Miss Conch will be safe in Xuan Meng Hall. If she suffers the slightest loss there, I’m willing to hand my head on a platter to you.”
Xuanyi seemed to be persuaded by the words and the atmosphere at this moment.
For the sake of the balance, it was not a bad thing for Conch to become the Commander of Xuan Meng Hall. Moreover, it did not mean she had to sever ties with everyone after joining Xuan Meng Hall.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Lu Zhou looked at Wu Xing and said, “Why don’t you just leave your head here now?”
“Huh?” Wu Xing’s eyes widened when he sensed Lu Zhou’s murderous intent. As soon as he raised his head…
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou, who was glowing with faint divine Dao power, flashed and appeared in front of Wu Xing.
Bang!
Wu Xing was instantly sent flying and crashed into a pillar in the hall before he slid to the ground. He grunted in pain as his blood and qi surged. He quickly supported himself with his arms as he looked at Lu Zhou with a mixture of confusion and anger. He did not understand why Lu Zhou would suddenly make a move.
Everyone was similarly confused.
Shang Zhang’s expression changed slightly. He frowned.
“You!” Little Yuan’er quickly stood in front of Lu Zhou and spread her arms as she said, “If you want to make a move against my master, you have to go through me first!”
Shang Zhang: “…”
Shang Zhang felt rather angry. ‘Is this the girl I’ve doted on over the past 100 years and treated like my own?!’
At this time, Conch also moved to stand next to Little Yuan’er and said, “No one can hurt my master!”
Shang Zhang and Kong Junhua looked at the master and disciples, perplexed.
Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “Alright, both of you move to the side. I know what I’m doing.”
“Oh.”
Littler Yuan’er and Conch had witnessed Shang Zhang’s strength before so they could not help but feel slightly worried about their master.
Lu Zhou glanced at Wu Xing before he said, “Ten celestial stars? Harbinger of disaster? What a good story. You’re the Master of Shang Zhang Hall, after all. How could you believe such a story?”
Shang Zhang said, “In your eyes, is everyone in the Great Void a fool?”
“Now that you mentioned it, that seems to be the case.”
“…”
Xuanyi revealed an aggrieved expression. ‘Teacher, please don’t include me with them!’
Despite his thought, Xuanyi still maintained his bearing and aura as a divine emperor.
