Chapter 1836 - 7: Oh No, They’re After My Disciple!
After all, the Ancient Hill itself requires a significant investment.When benefits were discussed, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly turned heavy.
At this moment, the Five Poison Emperor spoke up.
"Emperor Mang Ya, what do you mean by saying unpleasant things shouldn’t be said?"
"They should be said, and said loudly!"
Emperor Mang Ya was somewhat taken aback, only to see the Five Poison Emperor jump off the floating platform, drift in front of Emperor Lu Shan, and unleash a torrent of criticism.
"Little Lu Shan, back then your Ancient Hill promised so well, and now you’ve messed things up. Causing so many geniuses from our Primordial Realm to be trapped, and others injured or dead."
"If the disciples were useless, that’s one thing, but Hongshan, who specializes in Mountain Techniques, also got trapped in the Three-layered World Mountain. What a disgrace, you’ve completely embarrassed Saint Lord Yao!"
"Brother Wu Xing..." Emperor Lu Shan just began to speak.
"Who the hell is your Daoist Brother!" Upon hearing him talk back, the Five Poison Emperor scolded even more fiercely.
"In the fourteenth epoch before the Desolate Domain, you dug the Black Sky Wilderness with me, yet even the Five Great Emperors couldn’t dig out a single piece of black stone, and I lost so many people."
"In the eighth epoch before the Desolate Domain, you shamelessly claimed you could stabilize the Ten Directions Mountain... Hahaha, even the Kui Niu was blown to the Northern Boundary River by you all!"
"..."
"Fine, I won’t talk about the distant matters. At the start of the Desolate Domain Era, the Devouring Gold Emperor from the Wanhe Demon Clan could actually gnaw away half of the earth veins of your Primordial Realm. It’s really making me laugh to death..."
"Are the Ministers of Agriculture of the Three Realms and Twelve Mountains of the Ancient Hill all grown on dirt?"
"Oh, I forgot, you indeed eat dirt. Isn’t the First Layer of ’Extreme Land’ about introducing meridians into the body, haha, what a useless Cultivation Technique!"
"I think it should be called Wasteland Technique!"
"..."
In the face of the questioning from Emperor Mang Ya and others, Emperor Lu Shan could still maintain composure.
But when facing the abuse from the Five Poison Emperor, he truly was somewhat defenseless.
The Five Poison Emperor’s scolding skillfully targeted the black history of the Ancient Hill.
Emperor Lu Shan was truly infuriated.
But he couldn’t retaliate, not even verbally.
After all, the Five Poison Emperor is Zhao Xing’s real teacher.
The current issues with the Ancient Hill would most likely require Zhao Xing’s Magic Theory to resolve!
Once the Five Poison Emperor jumped in, the first half of the Primordial meeting became his personal mockery show.
No one even bothered to demand Ancient Hill’s compensation, because there was simply no chance to interject.
The first half concluded with Lord Lu Shan being scolded so hard his face turned pale.
In the second half, the Five Poison Emperor finally tired from scolding.
Emperor Lu Shan finally had a chance to speak.
"Fellow Daoists, it is indeed our Ancient Hill’s negligence for underestimating the difficulty of the Stacked Realm Mountain." Emperor Lu Shan cupped his hands and offered an apology.
Then he looked toward the Five Poison Emperor: "Brother Wu Xing is correct, I’m a waste, and my junior brother Hongshan is also a waste."
Oh-ho?
The Five Poison Emperor glanced at Emperor Lu Shan, wondering why this old fellow was so uncharacteristically low-key today.
Zuo Qiyu tugged on the Five Poison Emperor: "Stop cursing, let him continue."
Emperor Lu Shan turned to Emperor Yuan Ding and the others: "The problem with the Three-layered World Mountain is not unsolvable. Ancient Hill can guarantee everything will be restored to its original state within a century."
Emperor Mang Ya glanced at Emperor Lu Shan, exchanged a look with Emperor Yuan Ding and Emperor Tianwu, and nodded slightly.
Then Emperor Yuan Ding spoke: "Brother Lu Shan, no need for such ceremony. After all, we are allies working in collaboration, not truly intending to make things difficult for the Ancient Hill."
"It’s best if the matter can be resolved."
"If not..."
Emperor Lu Shan said: "If we cannot achieve it, then we will proceed according to Daoist Brother Mang Ya’s plan, and our Ancient Hill will voluntarily yield thirty percent of our original rights."
Emperor Mang Ya snorted: "It’s easy to say, we’ve put forth so many resources and treasures, it’s not a game. You must show some results!"
"If your Ancient Hill can’t do it, why not let others try, the Ancient Country Alliance, Primordial Heavenly Palace, they also have Ministers of Agriculture."
Seeing Emperor Mang Ya’s aggressive stance, Emperor Lu Shan had no choice but to take out a Taoist Book from his sleeve: "Gentlemen, look at this. This is a Magic Theory created by our Ancient Hill’s disciple, which holds significant guidance for resolving the Three-layered World Mountain, and it has been initially verified."
The crowd immediately scanned the Taoist Book presented by Lord Lu Shan, the book’s cover bearing ten large characters—"Mesozoic Three-layered World Mountain Origin Theory"
Below it was the author’s signature: Zhao Xing.
Upon seeing this name, the Five Poison Emperor was momentarily stunned.
"What’s happening, Zhao Xing wrote this Magic Theory, and it’s being treasured by the Ancient Hill?"
The Five Poison Emperor quickly reviewed the contents of the Taoist Book, then glanced at the serious look on Emperor Lu Shan’s face, revealing both surprise and fury in his eyes.
The surprise was that his disciple’s Magic Theory could be valued by the Ancient Hill, signifying immense talent.
The fury was that, in Emperor Lu Shan’s wording earlier, he referred to Zhao Xing as ’our Ancient Hill’s disciple.’
"Damn, no wonder this old guy didn’t argue back, turns out he’s here to steal my disciple!"
"Shameless old thief!"
