Chapter 1591: A Traitorous Disciple? (3)

“Azure Emperor? They’re going to the Great Void?” Lu Zhou took the opportunity to ask, “Where’s the Azure Emperor?”

“Grandpa Weiyang is in the east, not far from Grandpa Zhaokuai, the White Emperor,” Princess Mulberry replied. Then, she hurriedly added, “Don’t tell me you’re going to look for trouble with Grandpa Weiyang as well?! He’s a good person!”

“A good person?” Lu Zhou frowned. ‘How could a good person kidnap my disciples?’

In any case, Lu Zhou did not show his displeasure. He continued to ask, “Why is the Scarlet Emperor going to the Great Void?”

The time was not ripe yet. It would be troublesome for Lu Zhou to go to the Great Void now.

Princess Mulberry shook her head, indicating she did not know. Then, she asked curiously, “Your cultivation has improved so much. You should be able to go to the Great Void, right?”

Perhaps, Princess Mulberry had not seen humans for a long time so she was very lonely. She liked talking to people very much. Sometimes, her mentality would be twisted, and she would trap humans in the ring-shaped lake. Those who could not endure naturally died.

Lu Zhou thought about it for a moment before he asked, “How do I go to the Great Void?”

Princess Mulberry sized Lu Zhou up for a moment before she said, “With your ability, it’s more than enough to go to the Great Void. I heard from Grandpa Weiyang that the Great Void lacks manpower and is recruiting talents from the nine domains. Hence, you should be welcomed there…” After a pause, she said, “However, the Great Void is really boring. Why don’t you stay and accompany me?”

“I can’t stay. I still have matters to attend to,” Lu Zhou said.

Upon hearing this, Princess Mulberry said dejectedly, “You humans are really strange. Why do you have to go to the Great Void?”

“You humans? You’re obviously alive. Why do you speak as though you’re not human?” Lu Zhou asked.

“I’m alive…” Princess Mulberry said. She paused briefly before she continued to say, “But my heart is dead.”

Lu Zhou extended his senses. Indeed, Princess Mulberry did not have a heartbeat.

When Princess Mulberry spoke about this, her sadness was obvious. What greater sorrow was there than a dead heart. Moreover, when she said her heart was dead, it was also likely a euphemism for how her father, the Scarlet Emperor, had caused the death of her heart by forcing her to stay here.

“Where’s the Southern Flaming Sea?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Naturally, it’s the southernmost part of the Endless Ocean. It’s very, very, very far away. It’s very difficult to find as well,” Princess Mulberry said.

Lu Zhou’s goal was to find his disciples. He wanted to confirm their safety and bring them back to his side. However, he was not in a hurry. After all, 100 years had passed. What could and should happen, had already happened.

Lu Zhou thought about it and felt that it was a little unrealistic to go to the Southern Flaming Sea to look for the Scarlet Emperor now. After a while, he muttered to himself, “In that case, let’s ascend to the sky.”

…

At the same time.

At the south of the Endless Ocean.

On the peak of a mountain.

Mingshi Yin was admiring the scenery of the Endless Ocean. He could not help but shake his head.

At this time, a person appeared nearby and bowed. “Mr. Ri, the Scarlet Emperor has ordered for you to speed up your cultivation.”

“I’ve been cultivating all this time.”

“The Scarlet Emperor said you still need to raise the level of your cultivation. Only then will you be able to win the competition for the position of the master of the hall,” the person said before adding, “I’ll be monitoring your progress.”

“Heh, do you not understand human language? I said, I’ve been cultivating all this time,” Mingshi Yin said.

“…”

“The Scarlet Emperor also said that you’re now a member of the Southern Flaming Sea. If there’s no need, please don’t contact your master from the golden lotus domain in the future,” the person said.

“Master? What master? I don’t have a master,” Mingshi Yin said.

The person nodded. “Then, I won’t bother Mr. Ri anymore.”

The person flashed and disappeared.

Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes. Then, he looked ahead and muttered to himself, “I don’t have a master.”
