My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1682 - Still Human

Chapter 1682: Still Human

Although Qi Sheng’s heart was thumping wildly in his chest, he quickly adjusted his expression and asked with a smile, “Why do you say that, Your Majesty?”
Ming Xin looked at Qi Sheng and said, “How many years have you lived with such a young age? How many generations have you lived through? Do you think you can stir up trouble under my nose?”
“…”
Qi Sheng frowned. Things were not as simple as he had imagined. He turned to glance at the Silver Guard. He was a little bewildered when he saw that Silver Guard remained unmoved. An ominous feeling rose in his heart as he thought about how to resolve the matter.
Ming Xin chuckled and said, “You’re quite brave. You think you can control others just because you’re a little smart?”
Qi Sheng shook his head. “Your Majesty, that’s not my intention. I don’t understand why you’re saying this. Back then, you went to the Endless Ocean three times. Due to your kindness, I agreed to join the Great Void. If you suspect my intentions, I can leave now.”
‘I can’t win, I still can hide…’
Qi Sheng naturally knew Ming Xin was suspicious. He recalled his conversation with the Silver Guards when he had just arrived and how Ming Xin had arrived as soon as he got back to Tu Wei Hall. It seemed like the Sacred Temple’s eyes and ears were everywhere. In other words, the Evil Sky Pavilion had been exposed. At this time, he began to regret removing his mask in front of so many people.
Jiang Aijian was panicking inwardly. He did not know what to do. He could only brace himself and stick to the plan. He could not let Ming Xin get any information out of him no matter what.
Ming Xin stood with his hands on his back, and his expression was calm as he looked at Qi Sheng. He did not move, and he did not speak.

Qi Sheng raised his head and said sincerely, “Many people in the world yearn for the Great Void, and I’m no exception. However, if there’s no place for me in the Great Void, I don’t have any complaints.” Then, he bowed deeply at Ming Xin before he said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation of me. Take care.”
Qi Sheng’s tone was extremely serious. He hoped to use this chance to see Ming Xing’s stance. With that, he began to walk out of Tu Wei Hall.
The Silver Guard quietly followed Qi Sheng.
Ming Xin continued to stand with his hands on his back wordlessly. Clearly, he had no intention of stopping Qi Sheng. He only watched calmly as Qi Sheng and the Silver Guard left the hall.
Qi Sheng felt a little awkward. ‘Logically speaking, shouldn’t he be apologizing now and asking a great talent like me to stay? Did I go overboard? Have I completely exposed my identity and shown that I’m not Si Wuya so I’ve completely lost my value? Is he waiting to kill me and reduce my corpse to ashes?’
“…”
Jiang Aijian’s heart thumped violently in his chest. He could not help but feel nervous. At this time, a faint voice rang in his ears.
“I’m here. Don’t stop.”
Jiang Aijian’s heart skipped a beat before he quickly calmed down. His entire person became even more energetic, and he was radiating confidence. He walked forward with an indomitable spirit and resolutely walked out of Tu Wei Hall.
Jiang Aijian did as the Silver Guard said and flew toward the Runic Hall. When the duo arrived, Ming Xin was already waiting there for them.
“Your Majesty?” Jiang Aijian was shocked when he discovered the person in front of him was Ming Xin’s true body.
Ming Xin did not speak. Instead, he withdrew one hand on his back and pushed it out.
A huge energy seal appeared, churning like a vortex. It was colorless and formless, tearing space and freezing time.
Jiang Aijian could not resist at all and was pulled into the vortex.
At the same time, streaks of silver energy appeared in Ming Xin’s hand before he used them to bind Jiang Aijian tightly.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Aijian asked in shock.
Ming Xin did not reply.
The Silver Guard frowned slightly. However, he did not attack rashly. Instead, he watched quietly from the side.
When the streaks of silver energy passed through Jiang Aijian’s Dantian’s sea of Qi, they exploded with a faint green light.
“Hmm?” Ming Xin’s eyes flashed with surprise. Then, he seemed to calm down as he withdrew his hand. With that, the surging energy and the energy seal disappeared immediately.
Jiang Aijian fell for about ten feet before he stabilized his footing. Then, he looked at Ming Xin in confusion.
Ming Xin did not say anything.
At the same time, the Silver Guard clenched his hand, and an invisible flame appeared in his hand, ready to be unleashed.
15 minutes passed by silently before Ming Xin finally asked calmly, “Where did you get the Great Void Seed?”
“…”
Jiang Aijian touched his body as he calmed down. Then, he said with an awkward expression, “Your Majesty still found out in the end.”
Jiang Aijian sighed heavily before he said, “It’s a long story. 200 years ago, I encountered a life-or-death situation. I was severely injured by some ruthless people and was sealed in a coffin before being thrown into the sea. At that time, I was surrounded by all kinds of sea beasts. Perhaps, the heavens took pity on me, I managed to survive. I fought against the sea beasts and almost drowned in despair until I drifted to the Lost Land.”
Jiang Aijian’s expression turned solemn as he continued to say, “Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, I’ll still say it. It was at that time that I found a Great Void Seed there.”
Jiang Aijian thought Ming Xin would be surprised and send a large number of Templars to the Lost Land to scour it for more Great Void Seeds.
Unexpectedly, Ming Xin nodded and sighed. “Just as I expected.”
“…”
Jiang Aijian naturally did not let go of this opportunity and asked, “What do you mean, Your Majesty?”
Ming Xin clasped his hands on his back as he said, “You don’t know much about heaven and earth so it’s natural that you don’t know that the Great Void is still a part of the earth despite being lifted to the sky. The world only thought of the land splitting as a disaster, but they don’t know it’s a process of rebirth and growth for the earth…”
Jiang Aijian was surprised.
Ming Xin continued to say, “Tu Wei Hall still needs your support. If you leave, won’t the hall fall into chaos?”
“Aren’t there still the supremes from the Sacred Temple?”
Ming Xin said, “They have many things to attend to. Moreover, I trust you more.”
“Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty,” Jiang Aijian said. He knew this was the best he could get out of Ming Xin. Clearly, Ming Xin was too stubborn to apologize.
At this moment, Ming Xin suddenly flashed and arrived in front of the Silver Guard in just a blink of an eye. Then, he pushed his hand out at lightning speed.
Bam!
The Silver Guard unleashed a palm seal immediately to block the attack. Nonetheless, he was still sent flying back, spitting out blood, without any suspense. When he finally stabilized his footing, he looked at Ming Xin solemnly.
Jiang Aijian furrowed his brows and asked, “Your Majesty, why did you hurt him?”
Ming Xin nodded with an expression of approval as he said, “You have great strength as a supreme being. It’s rare for the Great Void to have another supreme being. How could I have missed it?”
The Silver Guard remained silent.
Ming Xin returned to Jiang Aijian’s side and looked at Jiang Aijian kindly. After a few seconds, he lifted his hand and patted Jiang Aijian’s shoulder twice before he vanished.
“…”
Jiang Aijian looked to the left and the right. After an unknown amount of time had passed, he asked through Voice Transmission, “Has he left?”
“Yes,” the Silver Guard replied expressionlessly after he flew back to Jiang Aijian’s side.
Jiang Aijian sighed in relief. “Alright, let’s land first.”
After the duo landed, Jiang Aijian grumbled. “He’s really cunning. Who can deal with him?”
The Silver Guard said, “No matter how cunning he is, he’s still human. It’s just that he lived a little longer and is a little older. You’re foolish if you think he’s able to see through everything just because he has lived for a long time. You have to know that back then the Unholy One had lived even longer and was even more domineering. However, in the end, he still fell.”
Jiang Aijian said, “Aren’t you foolish as well? You were still sent flying by his palm strike.”
“I did that on purpose, the Silver Guard replied.
“Alright, you keep bragging,” Jiang Aijian said.
“He’ll only dismiss his suspicion if I’m injured. After all, I’ve exposed too much in the Cloud Domain. It’s not just him; the ten halls will likely send people to test me as well after this… Since Ming Xin came first, I can only dispel his suspicion first,” the Silver Guard said.
“The power you unleashed earlier wasn’t weak. With his knowledge, aren’t you afraid you’ll only make him more suspicious?”
The Silver Guard shook his head and said, “I only used the power of the Dao. I didn’t reveal anything I shouldn’t.”
“Impressive!” Jiang Aijian gave the Silver Guard a thumbs-up.
The Silver Guard looked at Jiang Aijian and said solemnly, “You should maintain your image at all times.”
“Got it.”
“I mean it. You can’t expose your true nature,” the Silver Guard said, “If you’re exposed, even if the Unholy One cames back to life, he still wouldn’t be able to protect you.”
“Understood,” Jiang Aijian said as his aura changed immediately, “Follow me back to Tu Wei Hall.”
…
Xihe Hall.
As soon as they entered the main hall, Lan Xihe said with a faint smile, “Please take a seat.”
After taking a seat on the seat that Lan Xihe’s attendant had prepared, Lu Zhou asked, “Why did you invite me here?”
Lan Xihe said without beating around the bush, “I have something I want to ask Pavilion Master Lu.”
“Speak.”
“Before this, few people knew about the Evil Sky Pavilion. Now, the ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion have become the commanders of the ten halls. Is this Pavilion Master Lu’s intention?” Lan Xihe asked bluntly.
Lu Zhou shook his head and asked, “If I say no, will you believe me?”
“I believe you,” Lan Xihe said before she asked again, “May I ask how you obtained all ten Great Void Seeds?”
Even if Lan Xihe did not ask this question, the nine halls would question this sooner or later. Even if Qi Sheng from Tu Wei Hall was not Si Wuya, at the very least, to the other nine halls, Lu Zhou still obtained nine Great Void Seeds. Naturally, Lan Xihe knew for sure Lu Zhou had obtained all ten of the Great Void Seeds.
Lu Zhou did not seem surprised and replied honestly, “I just pluck them with my hands.”
“…”
Lan Xihe felt like they were on different channels at this moment. She was about to speak again when Lu Zhou raised his hand and said, “That’s all I can say.”
Lan Xihe sighed. She had no choice but to give up. She had always felt this matter was very strange. No matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible to go to all ten Pillars of Destruction and obtain all ten Great Void Seeds in such a short time.
At this time, Lu Zhou asked, “You’re also an owner of the Great Void Seed. How did you obtain the Great Void Seed?”
