My Disciples Are All Villains

Ying Long beat his chest and stomped his feet, feeling extremely regretful. Having interacted with the Unholy One before, he knew the Unholy One's temper very well. Now that he had lost Unnamed, the Unholy One definitely would not let the matter go. As for his divine soul pearl, there was almost no hope of getting it back.
"What to do, what to do…" Ying Long muttered over and over again. After a long time, he still could not come up with a solution.
"If I lost in the world, it wouldn't be a big deal since I'd definitely be able to find it. However, how am I going to find now that it fell into the abyss?"
There was no word that could describe Ying Long's regret at this moment.
Ying Long tried a few more times, but he could not go any deeper into the abyss. He stared at the abyss and muttered, "What's under the earth exactly?"After a moment, Ying Long quickly shook his head, inwardly rebuking himself for letting his thoughts wander at such a critical time. He had to be more clear-headed!
After a moment, Ying Long muttered to himself again, "Just treat it like I didn't lose it for now. Let's talk about this matter after he returns my divine soul pearl. Moreover, I didn't ask him to return the tendons he took from me! That's right, that's right. Let's just treat it like I didn't lose it for now…"
With that, Ying Long gradually calmed down. He sat down cross-legged again. The most important thing was to recover its cultivation base. It was not easy for him to enter the abyss so he had to make use of this opportunity.
Not long after Ying Long entered a meditative state, he was jolted back into reality by a rumbling noise. It sounded like thunder, but there was something strange about it. He was a dragon that could control the weather; this naturally included thunder and lightning. After a brief moment, he confirmed that it was not the sound of thunder; it was more like the sound of collision.
"What's going on?"
Ying Long frowned and looked up.
'Don't tell me I'm so unlucky that the sky is collapsing as soon as I entered the abyss?!'Boom!
This time, Ying Long could feel the tremors even in the abyss.
Ying Long wanted to go up and take a look. However, entering and leaving the abyss took a lot of energy. In the end, he decided it was not worth it to expend his energy to satisfy his curiosity.
"I wonder what on earth is happening?"
Ying Long felt regretful again. He should have left a talisman to communicate with the Unholy One. Now, he did not even have anyone to talk to.
The rumbling noise rang out twice again before silence returned.
With that, Ying Long gradually relaxed and entered his meditative state.
…
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou, who was meditating on the Heavenly Writing in the eastern pavilion of the Evil Sky Pavilion, also heard the rumbling noises.
Similarly, he was confused. Since he had ordered that no one was to disturb him, no one would report to him. For this reason, he ignited a talisman to contact Si Wuya.
As soon as Si Wuya appeared, he said, "The Great Void is being attacked by a behemoth! It's the biggest fierce beast I've ever seen!"
"The Great Void is under attack?"
"Master, this beast came from the eastern Endless Ocean. It should be the one that went to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
Its size made it very recognizable, after all.
"Kun Peng?" Lu Zhou frowned.
Si Wuya nodded. "It's indeed Kun Peng. It descended from the sky and beat its wings on the ground. Mountains and trees within thousands of miles were flattened with just a beat of its wings! Countless people are injured and dead. Shanyan's Pillar of Destruction has also collapsed as a result."
"Does Ming Xin not care?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Great Emperor Ming Xin was the one who stopped Kun Peng in the end. Kun Peng left only after he appeared. No one could figure out why Kun Peng suddenly attacked the Great Void," Si Wuya said.
"That beast wants to know the path to eternal life, but it didn't get it from me. It had been circling the Endless Ocean for 100,000 years. Ming Xin must have promised it something but failed to keep his word. That's probably why Kun Peng attacked the Great Void," Lu Zhou said.
Si Wuya nodded and said, "No wonder…"
"Five Pillars of Destruction have already collapsed. The nine domains' representatives plan should be implemented as soon as possible. Issue out a call in my name and the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands' names…"
"Understood."
With that, Lu Zhou cut off the communication and returned to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.
…
Si Wuya did not waste time and quickly sent a message from Tu Wei Hall, inviting cultivators from the Great Void to migrate to the nine domains.
Word of this quickly spread through the Great Void.
Initially, the reception was not very good; many cultivators felt rather unwilling. However, when they heard the Unholy One and the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands vouching for the plan, most cultivators put aside their thoughts of war and gladly accepted the plan.
Although there were voices of dissent, it was useless since the voices of the majority drowned them out.
With the Unholy One and the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands, as long as there were enough cultivators who agreed to the plan, those who disagreed would not dare to recklessly invade and plunder the nine domains.
The threat of the war between the nine domains and the Great Void was gently dealt with in that manner.
The green lotus domain was led by Qin Renyue and accepted the cultivators from the Great Void. As for the twin lotus domain, their representative was Chen Fu. Although Chen Fu had passed, his reputation still remained. The red lotus domain's representative was Li Yunzheng. As for the black lotus domain and the white lotus domain, their respective representatives were the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. The representative for the yellow lotus domain was the Flood Sect, and the representative for the purple lotus domain was its royal family. Finally, the golden lotus domain was represented by the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Many cultivators in the Great Void knew that the Unholy One founded the Evil Sky Pavilion. Therefore, there were not many cultivators who were willing to go to the golden lotus domain. They did not want to live under the nose of the Unholy One, after all.
…
Needless to say, Ming Xin had also gotten wind of this matter. As soon as found out, he summoned Qi Sheng, the Commander of Tu Wei Hall immediately.
Si Wuya came to the Sacred Temple alone. When he saw Ming Xin, who was sitting upright on his throne, he said with a bow, "Your Majesty, why have you summoned me?"
Emperor Ming Xin's expression was abnormally calm.
On the contrary, Guan Jiu and Wen Ruqing, who was standing on Ming Xin's left and right sides respectively, carried a hint of displeasure in their eyes.
Ming Xin asked bluntly, "Are you the mastermind behind the representative plan?"
Si Wuya nodded and said, "I had no choice. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This is the only way to stop the conflict between the Great Void and the nine domains."
An appreciative expression appeared on Ming Xin's face as he rose to his feet and said, "I've been troubled by this matter for a long time. It's inevitable that the sky will fall, but I've never found a solution for this matter. After all, I don't want the nine domains to suffer too much as well. It's commendable that you came up with such a brilliant plan. Whatever reward you want, I'll try my best to satisfy you."
Si Wuya shook his head and said, "It's my duty. I'm not greedy for rewards."
Ming Xin chuckled and asked, "If it's your duty, why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?"
Ming Xin's change of attitude was very abrupt.
Si Wuya was stunned for a brief moment before he said, "The plan to stop the conflict is beneficial to both sides, and Your Majesty has also given me a lot of authority so…"
Swoosh!
Wen Ruqing suddenly appeared in front of Si Wuya and struck with his palm.
Bang!
The attack landed on Si Wuya's shoulder. Although he could dodge it, he chose to receive the attack head-on. He flipped twice in the air before he stabilized his footing. Then, he asked with a slightly dark expression, "What do you mean by this?"
Wen Ruqing said in a deep voice, "How dare you work with the Unholy One under His Majesty's nose?"
Si Wuya was not surprised. He only said, "So Your Majesty knows everything."
Ming Xin walked down the steps with his hands on his back. He walked toward Si Wuya and said, "Si Wuya, you're still very young. Your tricks are nothing but petty tricks in front of me. Many things aren't as simple as you think…"
"..."
Si Wuya remained silent even though his true identity had been exposed.
Ming Xin continued to say indifferently, " Or should I say, The ten classics left behind by the Unholy One so happen to match your name. Do you think it's a coincidence or orchestrated?"
Si Wuya cupped his fists together and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by the bright moon shines over the sea; from far away we share this moment together? What does it have to do with Hai, Shang, Sheng, Ming, Yue, Tian, Ya, Gong, Ci, Shi? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ming Xin said with a sigh, "You're very smart. You should know what's useless or what's not…"
Si Wuya remained silent.
Ming Xin continued to say, "When I first met you, I already knew that… the Unholy One has returned."
Si Wuya's eyes widened imperceptibly. He truly did not expect this. If that was the case, why did Ming Xin not stop him? Naturally, he did not ask this question.
Nonetheless, Ming Xin seemed to have seen through Si Wuya's thoughts. He said, "I have many opportunities to act. I could easily destroy the Evil Sky Pavilion like how one could crush an ant. I didn't make a move because I'm confident that I'm strong enough to dominate all living things, including the Unholy One."
Si Wuya asked, "Then, why didn't you make a move against him?"
Wen Ruqing flashed toward Si Wuya again as soon as Si Wuya's voice fell. He said in a dark voice, "So you're finally willing to admit it?"
Wen Ruqing's palm strike was extremely fierce this time.
Si Wuya was not someone who would sit and wait for death. He struck with his palm as well. Although Si Wuya had received the Fire Deity's legacy, his cultivation was still not enough to deal with a supreme being for now. Hence, it was not surprising that he was pushed back to the entrance of the hall. Despite the pain in his arms, he asked, "What next?"
Wen Ruqing scoffed and wanted to attack again.
However, Ming Xin said, "Stand down."
"Yes."
Ming Xin looked at Si Wuya and asked, "In your opinion, who's stronger? Me or the Unholy One?"
"This…"
"I know you're his disciple," Ming Xin said. Then, he pointed at Wen Ruqing and Guan Jiu before he continued to say, "These two, along with the dead Hua Zhenghong and Zui Can, are his former students. You can speak truthfully. I promise that nothing will happen to you. No one will dare to touch you in the Great Void."
