Chapter 1052: Wretched Disciple, Kneel Before Me!

Because Huang Long deliberately slowed down, Guang Chengzi returned to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Island first.
Upon returning to the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi reported to Yuan Shi, crying out, “Master, when that Huang Long received your decree, he not only failed to kneel in greeting but also called you by your name directly.”
“What?! Called me by name?!”
Inside the Jade Void Palace, Yu Ding Zhen Ren, Ling Bao Da Fa Shi, and the other disciples were all shocked.
Yuan Shi’s eyes widened, emitting sharp glances as his divine authority surged. Even Guang Chengzi and Chi Jin Zi, along with the other disciples, felt a sense of dread.
“That wretched disciple not only refused to kneel but also dared to call me by name?!” Yuan Shi said slowly, his expression darkening.
“Master, I would never dare deceive you about this!” Guang Chengzi hurriedly replied. “Moreover, his subordinates even cursed you—please tell us what happened.”
Yuan Shi glanced at Guang Chengzi and said, “Speak.”
“He said… he said Master was his mother’s teacher!” Guang Chengzi replied after hesitating.
“What?! Really?!” Chi Jin Zi, Yu Ding Zhen Ren, Ling Bao Da Fa Shi, and the other disciples were stunned.
“Good, good!” Yuan Shi laughed angrily, his sacred authority rising high into the sky. It seemed as though an immortal mountain was pressing down on the entire area around Kunlun Island, causing all living beings there to tremble in fear.
Of course, Guang Chengzi wouldn’t dare lie about this.
Yuan Shi laughed loudly, and the disciples grew even more anxious, realizing their master was truly enraged.
When Yuan Shi was angry, the consequences could be severe!
Yet Chi Jin Zi was secretly pleased: “Huang Long, you’re seeking your own death—don’t blame others!”
“And then?” Yuan Shi asked slowly after a while.
Guang Chengzi replied cautiously, “Seeing his subordinates disrespecting you, I intended to intervene and capture them to punish them. But Huang Long stepped in, not only pushing the disciples back but also saying that even if you went yourself, you couldn’t punish his subordinates!”
After saying this, Guang Chengzi stood there with his head bowed in respect.
Chi Jin Zi and the others were shocked again to hear that Huang Long could even push Guang Chengzi back.
“Oh, he pushed you back? After mastering the Chaos Bell, that wretched disciple’s strength has risen to such a level?” Yuan Shi was also surprised.
“Yes,” Guang Chengzi replied respectfully.
Yuan Shi sneered, “If that’s the case, I’ll go to Er Xian Mountain in person and kill this ungrateful wretch who disrespects his master, shows no sense of brotherhood, and ignores hierarchy, so as to prevent ridicule from all corners of the Pangu Universe!”
“There’s no need for you to go personally. I’ve already arrived!” Just as Yuan Shi spoke, a cold voice suddenly came from afar, echoing across the entire Kunlun Island.

Guangchengzi, Chisijin, Lingbao the Great Mage, and other disciples of the Chan School were stunned, their expressions soon taking on various hues. They naturally recognized that it was Huanglong’s voice. Yuanshi looked up and saw ripples outside the Jade Void Palace, from which a young man with black hair and a Taoist robe appeared. Huanglong slowly entered the Jade Void Palace and, under the gaze of Yuanshi, Guangchengzi, and the others, arrived at the center of the main hall. “Huanglong, I never expected you to still have the audacity to come see your master?!” Chisijin pointed angrily at Huanglong. “Your master gave orders—instead of kneeling to greet him, you directly called his name. You show disrespect to your master, betraying both him and your ancestors. Why don’t you kneel?! Tell me, what crime do you deserve?!” Huanglong didn’t even glance at Chisijin; instead, he stared straight at Yuanshi and said indifferently, “After the War of Deification, Wenshu, Puxian, Cihang, Jiliusun, and others betrayed the sect and joined the Western Religion. What about their crimes?!” Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi, Chisijin, and the others all grew grim. Wenshu and the others had betrayed the sect and joined the Western Religion, betraying their master and ancestors. Yet, under the protection of the West and Zhunti, they lived comfortably, and the Chan School couldn’t punish them at all. This had become a great joke in the Pangu World. It was a shame for the Chan School! Guangchengzi, Chisijin, and the others didn’t even dare to discuss this privately, yet now Huanglong had reopened this old wound! Yuanshi’s already dark expression grew even darker. “You wretch, kneel before me!” Suddenly, Yuanshi’s eyebrows furrowed, and the might of a sage pressed down on Huanglong as he shouted. Seeing Huanglong bring up the matter of Wenshu and the others, angering their master once again, Guangchengzi and Chisijin were secretly delighted. They sneered at Huanglong, taking pleasure in his misfortune. But then, Guangchengzi, Chisijin, and the others saw that despite the might of Yuanshi, Huanglong still stood there indifferently! “Nothing?! How is that possible?!” Their expressions changed. “Hm?!” Yuanshi was also surprised. Then he sneered and said, “No wonder you’re so arrogant. So your cultivation has reached this level. But the might of a sage is beyond your insignificant existence to resist. Well, taking you in back then was a mistake. Today, I’ll correct that mistake and erase you completely from this world!” Erase completely! Even the soul would be destroyed! By then, Huanglong wouldn’t even be able to enter reincarnation and would truly vanish from existence. At that moment, Yuanshi still hadn’t realized that Huanglong had achieved sainthood. Not only did he not realize it, but even Guangchengzi and the others hadn’t thought of it. Yuanshi’s aura grew stronger by the moment. Above his head, a field of auspicious clouds appeared, illuminating all around in a green glow.

Although the primordial aura was not directed at Guangchengzi and the others, they were still shocked by its might and stepped back, their bodies glowing with light. Huang Long looked at Yuan Shi and said indifferently, “Very well. Having returned from reincarnation, I will settle all debts from my past life with the Chan School today. Yuan Shi, I’ll let you strike once—without returning the blow. After that, everything from my past life and the Chan School will be severed!” Past life? Reincarnation?! Yuan Shi’s eyes narrowed as he sneered, “So you disappeared for a million years to reincarnate? You dare to accept my strike without fighting back?!” With that, he laughed angrily, “I don’t need even one strike or half a strike—I’ll erase you completely from this world!” After speaking, the auspicious clouds above his head grew brighter, and streams of green energy instantly condensed into a giant green palm, which he slammed at Huang Long with devastating force. Affected by the aftereffects of the palm strike, Guangchengzi and the others also stepped back in shock. Facing Yuan Shi’s massive green palm, Huang Long remained standing there, bearing the strike directly under the gaze of Guangchengzi and the others. A muffled explosion echoed inside the Jade Void Palace, as streams of energy shot out to every corner of the main hall. But when everything returned to calm and Guangchengzi and the others looked again at the center of the hall, they were stunned in disbelief. “It’s… it’s impossible! He’s unharmed?!” Chi Zǐ’s eyes widened in shock. Huang Long, as before, stood there with an indifferent expression! “This… this can’t be!” Guangchengzi exclaimed in disbelief. Yuan Shi’s expression changed suddenly as he rose from his cushion. At that moment, a pressure as vast as an ocean and prison suddenly enveloped the world—first Kunlun Island, then the entire Eastern Divine Continent, followed by the Western Ox-Horse Continent, the Southern Southern Continent, and the Northern Juelu Continent! Finally, it reached the Heavenly Court, even covering the West! Throughout the entire Pangu world, all the powerful beings felt breathless and their expressions changed drastically. Inside the Jade Void Palace, Guangchengzi and the others were horrified to discover that the source of this pressure was actually emanating from Huang Long!
