Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Chapter 318 A Space Temple Chief

Yang Lujia and the rest of his company explored the territory of the Fiend Emperor Palace after getting all the things settled in the Dragon Emperor Palace. While Long Guang was technically still the Dragon Son, the Dragon Ancestor that he wouldn't be able to rope in this monster with them. Therefore, he let him go with his master who was a monster as well in his perspective.

If his son would wake up soon, he would tell him this sad truth. After all, from the way Long Guang reacted when his son got bedridden, it seemed like he really cared about the latter. Regardless, someone as talented as that kid—would not fare any better if he'd choose to isolate his talent in a meager place like their palace.

If a native of Da Shikong heard what the Dragon Ancestor was thinking, they would probably be shocked. After all, the Dragon Emperor Palace was a revered existence in the whole of Da Shikong, only second to the two temples that were considered superior among all.

It was sad, but it was a necessary phase of life for Long Guang. Therefore, he had no other choice but to let him go. This kid also seemed to long for his master's arrival since the beginning, as from what he could see in his pure eyes.

On the other hand, Yang Fei continued to guide the group into the Fiend Emperor Palace. He once entered the Fiend Emperor Palace for some transactions such as killing other cultivators and the like.

However, when they arrived in front of the palace, they were immediately stopped by the guards guarding the main gate. The guards found it strange to have a diverse group of people. Moreover, the one that they hated the most was the light and dominance emanating from Long Guang's body. They knew he was a dragon and recently, they had been attacked by the Dragon Ancestor, that even their ancestor was helpless against him.

They could not let these strange people enter their palace, lest they would incur the wrath of their ancestor once more. However, since they came here, they must have some reason. Although the people of the Fiend Emperor Palace technically had the blood of darkness, they were still quite reasonable when it came to dealing with this. Otherwise, any of the palaces or the two temples might have already decided to destroy them.

The guards, pointing their spears towards the group, said in chorus, "Who are you! State your name and where you come from!"

Yang Lujia spread his aura throughout the entire palace as he did not have to waste time introducing themselves.

While spreading his aura, everyone, except for their group, knelt on the ground. Of course, he did not want to kill people so wantonly like before. Thus, he only spread his oppressive aura on the people, according to their cultivations.

Meanwhile, Xie Dou, who was naturally cultivating in the depths of the palace, was extremely infuriated by this successive invasion. First, it was the Dragon Ancestor and now, it was another existence he did not know. Moreover, this existence was someone he was certain he could not handle alone.

Why was this fellow that came this time so terrifying? Was he someone from the two temples?

Xie Dou felt troubled, and while he was in a panic, a voice entered his mind and he felt numb all of a sudden.

"Meet me at the entrance of your palace if you don't want me to decimate all of it," the voice ordered that it gave chills to his poor heart. "I am Yang Lujia. I am not here to kill. I just want to hear something from you. It seems like you also activated your so-called vessel, huh."

Xie Dou felt cold sweat running down his back. 'How did he know about that when he was this far away from my chamber?! How did he know that I activated the Iniquitous Vessel?! Only the higher-ups of the two temples should know about this!'

"One…"

When he heard how Yang Lujia began counting in numbers, he was so flustered that he directly used the power of space to hasten up his speed towards the main gate. It had to be known that his chamber, given how large the palace was, was very far away from the gate.

"Two…"

"Fuck!" Xie Dou felt panicked.

When he cursed, the small palaces he passed through trembled as if they were people who were frightened by him.

"Three…"

Xie Dou finally arrived at the main gate and everyone who saw him immediately bowed at him, especially the guards, as they looked at him with eyes screaming reverence.

"Fiend Ancestor!"

"You're finally here," Yang Lujia muttered as he looked at the old man who just arrived. "I was actually just joking about erasing your palace from the map."

"Ancestor! This man is so—"

Before the guard spoke his complaint, however, Xie Dou killed him by just looking at him. Then, he arrived in front of the group and bowed at Yang Lujia. "Greetings, senior. What do you want with this lowly ancestor?"

Every fiend looking at their Fiend Ancestor almost dropped their jaws to the ground. It was the first time they saw Xie Dou bow towards someone like this. After all, the transactions between him and the two temples would usually be done in private. To them, therefore, this scene before was so shocking!

"Master, when did you invite this fellow out?" Long Guang could not hold it in and asked his master. "His aura is disgusting as well."

When Xie Dou heard this, he gritted his teeth. When he was about to look fiercely at Long Guang, he immediately retracted his gaze. 'What the fuck is going on?! Why is someone even stronger than the Dragon Ancestor here?!'

He could now understand why this little fellow called his aura disgusting.

After all, dragons hate their fiendish nature as dragons are righteous in nature.

"Just now," Yang Lujia replied as he looked at Xie Dou. "Anyway, I am here to find out the truth regarding the Carnage Lotus I got from the body of the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Ancestor told me that only the Fiend Emperor Palace could have this flower with the opening of your Carnage Firmament and as the ancestor, you have the power to enter the said firmament with your authority as the ancestor. Therefore, I can only associate this with you having to root this lotus up from there. Did you have any transactions with the two temples? Do you all really want to do this Realm Amalgamation this much that one of my disciples had been framed and was deprived of his cultivation? Was it also you who made Sheng Ao, the Saint Son of the Holy Light Palace be expelled from there?"

The more Yang Lujia talked, the more serious his face became.

On the other hand, Xie Dou was tongue-tied. He did not know how Yang Lujia knew about the vessels and the Realm Amalgamation, but he was certain that this man was a hindrance to their plans. Therefore, he could only do his best to stall him and make some time for the experts of the two temples to arrive here.

"I only want an honest answer," Yang Lujia reminded as he placed a little pressure on Xie Dou.

However, this 'little' pressure wasn't little at all to Xie Dou as he felt like his organs were about to explode.

He was hesitating. Regardless, this man must be at the same level as him, he just comprehended more rules than him. He shouldn't be able to kill him that easily.

"So, what if I am?!"

Much to his surprise, however, Yang Lujia remained calm and didn't get mad.

"Are you also in cahoots with the Human Emperor Palace? You know about their motive for going to the Holy Light Palace, right? Do not fool me with your reason that they were attacked by void beasts and had sought healing at the Holy Light Palace. I know those void beasts cannot enter the territory unless they originate from here or they have permission from the people of the void."

Xie Dou gulped. He knew that there was no getting out of this situation. Immediately, he crushed some sort of token that he had held for the longest time. It was the token of one of the four chiefs of the Space Temple. It was now or never!

Yang Lujia just sneered and looked at this helpless man. It seemed like all the things he said were true!

"It's useless. Even if you call the Temporal Lord of any of the two temples, they are not my match," he said proudly as he looked at the dark clouds forming due to the broken token.

"Is that so, little fellow?" a voice echoed into the hearts of everyone.

Yang Lujia's face turned serious as he could feel that this man was entirely different from all the cultivators he had met in Da Shikong. "You're strong."

A man emerged from the dark clouds and looked at Yang Lujia. He was very handsome, especially when he revealed an amiable smile. "Of course, I am. After all, I am Lu Bao."
