My disciples are all villains.

“Huh?

“I said, ‘kneel’,” Lu Zhou said tonelessly.

Duanmu Sheng felt rather reluctant to kneel, but when he saw his master’s stern expression, he fell to his knees immediately.

Lu Zhou said again, “Kowtow.”

Duanmu Sheng kowtowed to Duanmu Dian.

Duanmu Dian was moved upon seeing this. Although Duanmu Sheng’s face carried the traces of the vicissitudes of life and time, in Duanmu Dian’s eyes, Duanmu Sheng was like a child who had yet to grow up. No matter how much times had changed or how much time had passed, there was no denying they had the same blood coursing through their veins.

Ancient people said that men had gold under their knees and that they were only to kneel in front of their parents.

As such, how could Duanmu Dian remain unmoved?

After living for tens of thousands of years, Duanmu Dian had long been numbed by time. There were no fluctuations in his emotions for the longest time now. However, the sight of Duanmu Sheng kneeling and kowtowing to him almost brought out the tears in his eyes.

After Duanmu Dian calmed his surging emotions, he stepped forward and helped Duanmu Sheng to his feet as he said, “It’s alright…”

Duanmu Dian felt slightly awkward. He did not know what to say. After all, he had never been good at expressing his feelings.

At this time, Lu Zhou said, “He’s your ancestor. Without him, there’d be no you. Moreover, there are many things you don’t understand in the cultivation world.”

Duanmu Sheng remained silent.

Duanmu Dian smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter; it’s just a trivial matter. As the saying goes, ‘As distance tests a horse’s strength, time will reveal a person’s heart’.”

Lu Zhou nodded before he asked, “Let’s go back to the main point. How much do you know about the Great Void?”

Duanmu Dian said, “I only have a general understanding of it. For example, the Great Void is divided into ten halls. After the land split, the Sacred Hall was founded to maintain the balance of the world. It’s one of the ten halls, and the most powerful hall.”

“Ten halls…” Lu Zhou did not expect there would be so many of them.

“The ten halls were originally named after the Heavenly Stems, which are also the aliases of the Ten Great Supreme Beings. The twelve Great Dao Saints occupied the 12 Earthly Stems and belong to the ten halls. Among them, the Sacred Hall is located in the position of the Great Yuanxian.”

Qin Naihe asked, “That’s to say it’s above Ren Ding?”

“That’s right,” Duanmu Dian said, “The 12 locations in the Unknown Land named after the ancient system of time are precisely the 12 Earthly Branches. However, the 12 Earthly Branches were later pushed up into the sky by the Pillars of Destruction.”

Duanmu Dian was surprised by this answer. “He’s never been there, but he managed to draw such detailed maps of the Great Void and the nine domains. What a rare talent!”

“Old Seventh was the master of the Darknet. In the past, he assisted Eldest Senior Brother to conquer the Divine Capital and unified the golden lotus domain,” Duanmu Sheng said proudly, trying to prove his earlier point that the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were amazing in their own right. He was also trying to say that despite being a Great Saint, it was not a loss for Duanmu Dian to join the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Dian asked, “Where’s he?”

Duanmu Sheng fell silent.

Everyone sighed.

Lu Zhou calmly replied, “Dead.”

Duanmu Dian frowned. “My condolences.”

When Duanmu Dian saw the gloomy expressions on everyone’s faces, he lowered his voice and asked Lu Zhou, “Can you tell me who did it?”

“The Great Void, the beast tamer; Yue Qi, and the Halcyon Bird,” Lu Zhou replied.

Duanmu Dian was stunned. He did not know what else to say. He could understand the meaning behind these words; there was a blood debt between the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Great Void, and their differences could not be reconciled.

Lu Zhou added, “Yue Qi and the Halcyon Bird are dead.”
