read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1623

Qi Sheng naturally knew they were not enough. However, his eyes and smile showed his confidence.

Having lived for more than 100,000 years, Wu Zu, the Grand Shaman of the Great Void, had experience and knowledge beyond most people. However, he really could not see through Qi Sheng’s thoughts.

Qi Sheng said, “If those things aren’t enough, then I’ll say a few more words.”

Wu Zu said coldly, “I want to see what kind of reasons your glib tongue can come up with. However, I have bad news for you.”

“Senior, please speak first,” Qi Sheng said.

Wu Zu said, “No matter what, today, you will… die.”

Wu Zu thought he would be able to see fear, shock, or nervousness in Qi Sheng’s eyes or face, but to his surprise, Qi Sheng remained calm.

Qi Sheng nodded.

“You can speak now,” Wu Zu said.

“Senior Wu Zu was born in ancient times and has traveled far and wide. You’re the only shaman left in the Great Void, and you’re also the only shaman who managed to become a supreme being. Alas, witchcraft is also restricted by the shackles of heaven and earth, and there’s a limit to how long one can live. If my calculations are correct, senior, you… don’t have much time left, right?”

Wu Zu’s eyes shone with disbelief as he looked at Qi Sheng. This matter had always been a knot in his heart. It was also the biggest obstacle he had faced since he started practicing the dark arts. It was the problem all humans, common folks and cultivators alike, faced. His life was coming to an end.

There were those who could not imagine living forever. Life would be repetitive and boring, numbing one’s emotions and desires. Then, there were also those who wished to live forever, enjoying the power and status they possessed.

Wu Zu naturally belonged to the latter group like most people. He was not willing to die.

Finally, Wu Zu asked, “How do you know?”

“Those who are observant will know once they do a little calculation,” Qi Sheng said, “You’re the culprit behind the Fatal Fission at Great Rift Valley 110,000 years ago, and absorbed a large amount of vitality energy using the formation from the dark arts.”

Wu Zu frowned; his expression turned grave.

Qi Sheng continued to say, “Over the past 100,000 years, you’ve been planning all kinds of things, including the Great Void Expedition and the human-culling plan in the nine domains. You stood high above as you watched the ants die…”

At this point, Wu Zu raised his hand and said, “Nonsense!”

Qi Sheng said, “Senior, why don’t you wait for me to finish? You’re going to kill me anyway.”

“Speak!” Wu Zu said in a deep voice.

“Like I said before, I’ll only state objective facts, and I won’t accept any rebuttals or explanations. You know very well whether I’m right or not,” Qi Sheng said.

Qi Sheng’s attitude made Wu Zu itch with anger. He was overwhelmed with the urge to slap Qi Sheng to death. Fortunately, after more than 100,000 years, he had learned to restrain his impulses. He had to understand the Sacred Temple’s meaning and reason so he said, “Continue.”

“You’d come up with so many plans, and they were all to raise your cultivation, break the shackles, and gain eternal life. Unfortunately for you, all your plans ended in failure.”

“Perhaps you were unwilling so you wanted to seize the Great Void Seed. That was the reason you went to Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction. You were the cause of the first crack at Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction. However, you knew you’d touched the bottom line of the Sacred Temple. You were forced to give up on the Great Void Seed to clear yourself of suspicion. At that time, the Sacred Temple attributed the incident to the alignment of ten celestial stars due to your words. However, you don’t know astrology at all.”

“Today, after 100,000 years, you still haven’t given up on the idea of immortality. Originally, you planned to wait for another 30,000 years to seize the Great Void Seed, but unfortunately, your time is almost up. There’s no way you could wait for the Great Void seedlings to mature so you decided to target the owners of the Great Void Seeds. You sent people to the White Emperor, the Scarlet Emperor, and the Azure Emperor…”

At this point, Qi Sheng paused for a moment before he said, “That’s right. Mu Yunxiao, the number one beauty of Xuan Meng Hall for more than 40,000 years, wasn’t my type so I… killed her.”

“…”

Wu Zu’s eyes were filled with disbelief. He found that the person in front of him was truly unfathomable. It was as though he was facing a non-human life form. This feeling was very bad. As someone who had lived for more than 100,000 years, he was actually inferior to a young man? His heart began to race wildly in his heart.

“After careful considerations, you finally set your sight on Ci Yuan’er, one of the owners of the Great Void Seeds, who’s with Emperor Shang Zhang. Unfortunately, Ci Yuan’er is too talented so Emperor Shang Zhang was very fond of her. You knew Emperor Shang Zhang would never let Ci Yuan’er leave so you shifted your target to Conch.”

“It’s very difficult and complicated to refine the Great Void Seeds. These are the steps I wrote down when I was bored,” Qi Sheng said as he brought a book out and tossed it over to Wu Zu.

Wu Zu looked at the book silently. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Senior Wu Zu, do you find the steps familiar?” Qi Sheng asked.

Then, Qi Sheng clasped his hands on his back and said, “This matter also touches the bottom line of the Sacred Temple.” Then, his voice darkened and turned somewhat icy as he continued to say, “It also touches Tu Wei Hall’s bottom line. Hence, you have to die to appease the word.”

Qi Sheng looked at Wu Zu and concluded by asking, “Are these reasons enough?”
