My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1529 Preemptive Strike; The Beginning of the Revenge

Upon seeing the portrait, Chen Fu said in confusion, “Isn’t that the little girl?”

Hua Yin said, “This is what I heard after secretly asking around. Senior Lu, you’ve met our Great Han’s Venerable Masters, Wei Cheng and Su Bie, who guard the eastern and western capitals respectively. Their strength and cultivation aren’t low so it can be seen that the other party is quite strong. I heard that the other party is using various forces in Great Han to investigate Miss Ci’s whereabouts. I only managed to find out about this after using the connections I have in Great Han.”

“How dare they have designs on my disciple!” Lu Zhou said, clearly displeased.

For a moment, Chen Fu did not know how to react. Their opponent was an expert from the Great Void, after all. Finally, he said, “The Great Void has been searching for talents all over the nine domains. It’s normal that they’re looking for the little girl since she’s so talented. Did she come in contact with anyone in the Great Void previously?”.

Lu Zhou thought about it for a moment.

Little Yuan’er’s talent was no secret in the Evil Sky Pavilion, and she has always been the object of everyone’s envy. The only time word of her talent might have leaked could only be the time when they were at the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. Coincidentally, those at the Great Abyss Land had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Great Void.

Lu Zhou thought about how he had killed Hong Jian. It was likely that the Feather tribe wanted to borrow another person’s hand to seek revenge from him. Finally, Lu Zhou said with a scoff, “The Feather tribe from the Great Abyss Land.”

Chen Fu said with a solemn expression, “If it’s really the Great Abyss Land’s Feather tribe, then it’ll be troublesome. The overall strength of the Feather tribe is quite high. The tribe is recognized by the Great Void, and they protect the Pillar of Destruction at the Great Abyss Land. Moreover, Emperor Yu of the Feather tribe is not any weaker than a supreme being. Apart from that, there are many powerful fierce beasts guarding the Great Abyss Land.”

Hua Yin nodded and said, “Master is right. Senior Lu, it’s best if you hide in Fragrant Valley. I’ll continue keeping an eye on the situation outside.”

IIII

Although Lu Zhou knew Hua Yin was being helpful, he thought Hua Yin’s words sounded wrong. It was as though he was a cowardly turtle. Since he was truly not afraid, he said righteously, “Great Han is in danger now. The Feather tribesmen are fierce beasts, not humans. They had no humanity. Who knows if they’d go on a killing spree in a fit of rage? How can I just sit at the side and do nothing?”

Hua Yin was greatly moved by these words. If it were him, he would have hidden in Fragrant Valley and not come out. Finally, he said, “Senior Lu is truly kind! You’re truly a role model for all of us!”

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve and said nonchalantly, “This matter was originally caused by me. It’s only natural that I have to step forward.”

Ever since the incident with Hong Jian, Lu Zhou had made an effort to remember Elder Ming De. He would be doing himself a disservice if he did not seek revenge from Elder Ming De. As for Hua Yin, since Hua Yin insisted on labeling him as a good guy, there was no harm in accepting it.

“Brother Lu, are you going to make a move?” Chen Fu asked.

Lu Zhou nodded.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll let Hua Yin, Zhou Guang, and those bunch of good-for-nothing disciples assist you.”

“Forget it.”

‘Bringing them with me will only drag me down…

“I’ll pick them myself,” Lu Zhou said before he vanished into thin air.

As soon as Lu Zhou reappeared on the circular platform, the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion rushed over before bowing and greeting him. He did not waste time and told them about Great Han’s crisis. However, he did not disclose Little Yuan’er’s matter.

Everyone was furious after listening to Lu Zhou.

“It must be those from the Great Abyss Land! How despicable! Those birdmen tried to gain an advantage and ended up worse off, and now, they’re trying to use another person to deal with us!” Duanmu Sheng scolded.

The Qin Yuan, who was with the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion, frowned in confusion upon hearing these words. “The Great Abyss Land dares to target the Unholy… the Pavilion Master?”

By now, it was clear to Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng that the Qin Yuan was a fanatic fan of Lu Zhou. Her every word and action were filled with reverence for Lu Zhou. Based on her words, it was clear that those from Great Abyss Land were mere ants compared to Lu Zhou. She was truly an example of a blindly loyal fan! “The people from the Great Void are too much! Do they think we’re so easy to bully? Why do they think master will appear in Great Yan?” Mingshi Yin said, “If I were them, I would’ve gone to Great Yan and waited at the Evil Sky Pavilion instead. It’s just like what Saint Chen’s attendant did. It doesn’t matter if I have to wait for twenty or 100 years. Only a fool would fall for their grand display.”

“Old Fourth,” Lu Zhou called out. “Yes, master.”

“Among all my disciples, you’re most level-headed. I plan to go to Great Han to investigate. You’ll come with me,” Lu Zhou said.

“Ah?” Mingshi Yin was stunned.

Everyone tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Little Yuan’er raised her hand and said excitedly, “Master, master, I’ll go with you!”

“You stay in Fragrant Valley and cultivate well,” Lu Zhou said.

‘Their target is you. Even if your master’s strength is outstanding, I can’t risk sending you to your death…’

Then, Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the others and asked, “Who else is willing to go with me?”

Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion bowed in unison as they said, “We’re willing to follow the Pavilion Master through fire and water.”

“It’s not convenient to bring so many people with me,” Lu Zhou said. He only planned to bring a few people like Qin Naihe. Mingshi Yin was also a good choice since he was rather stable. There were too many people in the Evil Sky Pavilion so it was rather hard to choose. As the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, he had to be fair and could not be biased.

At this time, the Qin Yuan said with a smile, “I’m willing to follow Pavilion Master Lu!”

In fact, the Qin Yuan had wanted to see the changes in the outside world a long time ago. She had resisted the urge again and again over the years. Now that she had the Unholy One by her side, how could she let go of such a good opportunity? If she did not seize this opportunity, she would be letting herself down!

“You want to come with me?” Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.

The Qin Yuan bowed and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, don’t worry. The other side of the center point in Fragrant Valley is a natural place for passing the Birth Trials. As long as the Qin Yuan hive doesn’t make any changes, which they won’t, it won’t be a problem for them to pass their Birth Trials there!”

Lu Zhou nodded. It would naturally be more advantageous if he had an ancient Saint slayer following him.

The Qin Yuan continued to say, “There’s no need for the others to go. I’ve already gained an understanding of Pavilion Master Lu’s disciples. Most of them have already become Venerable Masters, and a few of them are close to becoming Saints. Leaving this place will only delay their cultivation.”

“Close to becoming Saints?” Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.

‘I’m their masters, and I didn’t even sense these changes…’

The Qin Yuan spread her arms and sighed. “The only person I can’t understand is this little girl. Her upper limit has been opened, and her cultivation doesn’t follow the logical flow of things. Moreover…”

At this time, Mingshi Yin interjected, “Senior, let’s not talk about this. Master knows about this better than you do. It’s better to leave as soon as possible. After all, Great Han is still waiting for us to save it.”

The Qin Yuan nodded. “Alright.”

The Qin Yuan truly could not wait to go outside to have a look.

Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and said, “All of you cultivate well in Fragrant Valley.”

“Farewell, Pavilion Master.”

“Farewell, master.”

Lu Zhou’s movements were as light as a swallow as he flew toward the entrance of Fragrant Valley. Mingshi Yin, Qiong Qi, and the Qin Yuan followed after him. In just a blink of an eye, they disappeared into the horizons.

At this time, Yu Shangrong, whose eyes were trained on the horizons, said, “As expected of an ancient Saint slayer, she could sense that my cultivation is profound.”

Yu Zhenghai could not endure it and said, “Second Senior Brother, how do you know she was referring to you?” Yu Shangrong smiled before he replied, “Well, I’m about to sprout my 14th leaf, after all.”

Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion was amazed when they heard Yu Shangrong’s words. Those who had severed their lotuses were not only amazed, but they felt embarrassed and inferior. The difference was too great after all.

Yu Zhenghai said, “A slight difference is like a thousand miles. ‘About to’ means nothing…”

Clank!

At this moment, Duanmu Sheng stabbed the Overlord Spear into the ground before he raised it again. Upon seeing this, Zhu Honggong clapped his hands and said, “Third Senior Brother is so domineering! He’s going to challenge Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother!”

Everyone turned to look at Duanmu Sheng in unison.

Duanmu Sheng pointed at the Overlord Spears at the four elders and said, “Elders, please advise me!”

The four elders: “…”

After Lu Zhou, Mingshi Yin, and the Qin Yuan walked out of Fragrant Valley, the Qin Yuan was attracted by the dark sky and the fierce beasts flying back and forth. Then, she said with a frown, “Imbalance.”

“That’s right. The nine domains and the Unknown Land have been out-of-balance for more than 100 years. Not only did it not get better, but it has also worsened. No one knows why,” Mingshi Yin said.

The Qin Yuan said worriedly, “If the sky collapses, the land will collapse as well. Is it impossible for the Qin Yuan hive to avoid this disaster?”

Lu Zhou looked at the Qin Yuan, feeling speechless. This was an example of someone worrying over nothing. Finally, he said tonelessly, “It’s a blessing, not a disaster. It’s not something to be avoided.”

“Pavilion Master Lu is right,” the Qin Yuan said with a nod. Inwardly, she thought to herself, ‘Since the Unholy One managed to come back to life after the land split in ancient times, and he also possesses many sacred relics, saving the Qin Yuan hive won’t be a problem.’

With this thought in mind, the Qin Yuan’s mood eased.

A day later.

In Luo Yang, the western capital.

The usually bustling streets carried an air of desolation.

People were in a hurry, and many peddlers were not in business.

Cultivators could be seen in the sky occasionally, clearly disregarding the no-flying rule.

“This is a human city?” Qin Yuan asked, somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Mingshi Yin nodded. “Yes, it is.”

Lu Zhou raised his head and looked at the sky. When he saw alarge number of cultivators flying in the same direction, he said, “Follow them and have a look at what’s happening.’ “Yes.”

Lu Zhou took the lead and flew toward the north of the western capital. The trio flew at a high speed, and in just a blink of an eye, they caught up with several cultivators.

Mingshi Yin took the lead and asked a cultivator, “Where are you going?” The cultivator looked at Mingshi Yin strangely before he asked, “You don’t know?”

“No.”

“After Saint Chen left, the Great Void sent people here to look for a little girl. We want to find that girl quickly so we can send those people away,” the cultivator said.

“So that’s what you’re doing now?” Mingshi Yin asked.

The cultivator said impatiently, “You’re unmarked, right? Don’t gloat over others’ misfortune! Stay away from us!”

Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes and said, “I understand. You’ve been marked by the Great Void and have to help them. You can’t escape, am I right?”

“Get out of my way,” the cultivator said angrily now that Mingshi Yin poured salt on his wound.

Mingshi Yin said, undeterred, “I’m not leaving. I’m here to save all of you. Who are they and where are they?”
