In fact, Ling Weiyang and Bai Zhaoju were worried about this as well.
They did not spare any effort to nurture the owners of the Great Voids during the past 100 years.
How could they be happy if all their effort only benefited others and did not benefit them at all?

They were prominent figures and rulers of their respective regions.
They were powerful cultivators who were respected in the Great Void and in the nine domains.
To them, with these factors alone, the owners of the Great Voids should stay and serve them instead of obeying the orders of their former master.

Lu Zhou scoffed and said, “Chi Biaonu, you’re shameless enough to talk about freedom! You imprisoned Princess Mulberry at Chifenruo, and now that the pillar there has collapsed, you don’t even care about her life and death.”

Chifenruo was the ancient name for Ji Ming.

Although Chi Biaonu was an ancient cultivator who had sailed down the long river of time, his expression still changed slightly upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words.
Was it not akin to slapping his face now that Lu Zhou mentioned his daughter twice? It was only natural that he was angry.
He said unhappily, “Old sir, you’re being too controlling.”

“If it weren’t for their sake, I wouldn’t even bother to talk to you,” Lu Zhou said.

It was impossible to fight now, but Chi Biaonu could not lose his imposing air.
He turned to look at Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng and said, “Since you’re the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion, I’ll give you a chance now.
You can either stay in the Flaming Sea or leave!”

Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng: “?”

‘These two old men are quarreling, but we’re suffering the consequences.
This is unfair!’

“This… This…” Mingshi Yin hemmed and hawed.

Chi Biaonu said, “Why are you hesitating? It’s not like I’m threatening you!”

With this, Mingshi Yin, “Since that’s the case, I choose my master!”

Chi Biaonu felt suffocated.
‘This ingrate!’

Following that, Duanmu Sheng said with a straight face, “A master for a day is a father for life.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Ling Weiyang laughed out loud before he said, “Chi Biaonu, why are you looking for trouble? He’s been taking care of his disciples for hundreds of years.
What did you do over the past 100 years that you expect them to follow you wholeheartedly? It’s one thing for them to owe you a favor, but for you to force them to make a choice, you’re only setting yourself up to fail.”

The choice Chi Biaonu forced on Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng was no different from asking a child if he or she would save his father or mother if they both fell into the ocean.
Not to mention Chi Biaonu had not even reached this level of importance in their hearts.

“Since you protected two of them over the past 100 years, I won’t stoop to your level,” Lu Zhou said tonelessly.

Chi Biaonu wanted to refute, but Ling Weiyang and Bai Zhaoju quickly tried to mediate the situation.
Even Shang Zhang tried to persuade him.
In the end, he finally gave in.
After all, if continued to be stubborn, he knew it would not end well for him.
He still needed Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng to help him return to the Great Void.
If those two ingrates really left, who knew if they would still help him.

Now that the old men stopped arguing, Lan Xihe said, “Pavilion Master Lu, you’ve yet to answer my question.”

Lu Zhou nodded.
“If you want to appoint Old Eight as the Commander of Xihe Hall, I naturally have no objections.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng smiled and looked at everyone as he said, “I think no one will object to this.”

Everyone remained silent, but their expressions clearly showed their dissatisfaction.

Finally, someone said, “How could we dare to object?”

One could clearly hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.

Qi Sheng shook his head and said, “I was there when he joined the Sacred Temple.
To be honest, his cultivation isn’t inferior to mine.
If you’re dissatisfied, you can step forward and challenge him in the future.
This is my promise to you.
I’ll be struck to death by lightning if I lie.”

Everyone was stunned by Qi Sheng’s words.
He did not seem like he was lying or joking.

With this, the matter came to an end.

As long as one was not foolish, one would not challenge Zhu Honggong.
There were several big shots protecting Zhu Honggong, after all.
On the surface, Qi Sheng’s words sounded very fair, but no matter how they looked at it, it was clear that Qi Sheng was not helping them.
Alas, there was nothing they could do.
After all, they could not afford to offend these people.

In the end, everyone bowed and said, “Congratulations, Holy Maiden.”

Lan Xihe nodded.
Then, she looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, it’s been a long time since we parted ways in the Unknown Land.
100 years ago, I heard that you were at Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction.
I waited for three days, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet you.
If you’re free, can you come to Xihe Hall for a chat?”

Mingshi Yin nudged Duanmu Sheng with his elbow, but Duanmu Sheng did not seem to understand what he meant.
Hence, he nudged Duanmu Sheng a few more times before he said in a hushed voice, “There’s something fishy going on.”

Lu Zhou nodded.
“Alright.”

Lan Xihe smiled and made an inviting gesture.
“Please.”

With that, Lu Zhou flew toward Xihe Hall’s flying chariot.

Everyone looked surprised, jealous, and envious.

At this time, Qi Sheng said loudly, “With this, the commanders’ competition has come to an end.
Thank you for your support and your cooperation.”

Following that, everyone began to leave.

Chi Biaonu wanted to stay in the Great Void, but when he saw Shang Zhang, he could not help but think about Princess Mulberry.
Hence, he said, “Go to Ji Ming.”

Then, Chi Biaonu looked at Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng and said, “Are you coming with me, or are you staying?”

Mingshi Yin said with a smile, “Of course, I’ll come with you.
My master taught me to repay kindness.
Otherwise, we’re no different from animals.”

Chi Biaonu frowned.
Why did it seem like Mingshi Yin was mocking him?

After Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng followed Chi Biaonu to the Unknown Land, Bai Zhaoju and Ling Weiyang looked at each other and smiled.

Bai Zhaoju asked, “Shall we look for a place to talk?”

“Good idea,” Ling Weiyang replied.

With that, the two emperors’ flying chariots flew away.

Tu Wei Hall’s flying chariot was the last to leave the Cloud Domain.

When Qi Sheng and the Silver Guard entered the cabin, the Silver Guard said, “It’s not done well enough.”

“Don’t be so obsessed over small details,” Jiang Aijian said.
