My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 213 Sky Fragments Combined

Zhao Yue and Little Yuan’er were shocked.

This filthy, dispirited old beggar with no aura who lay down where he stood was the greatest elite of Clarity Sect?

Pan Litian’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about… All I want is to drink some good wine and sleep.”

“Are you really not going to admit?” Lu Zhou’s penetrating stare sent shivers down Pan Litian’s spine.

When their eyes met, Pan Litian was slightly stunned. He appeared as if he could not have cared less, but he was inwardly shocked. He remained silent for some time before he shook his head and said insistently, “I’m only a beggar. I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about…”

When she saw this, Little Yuan’er waved her fist and said, “Master, I can beat him up if he doesn’t want to confess.”

Lu Zhou did not expect Pan Litian to confess so soon. This was within his expectation. After all, nobody knew what Pan Litian had experienced over the years.

With his identity and status, Pan Litian could easily avoid living this way. His clothes barely covered him, he looked battered, and his meals hardly filled his stomach. If he had slipped into the Evil Sky Pavilion under this disguise, how would he explain his cultivation base? Coming to the Evil Sky Pavilion without his cultivation base was the same as walking up to death’s door.

Lu Zhou said, “It’s not important whether you admit it or not. What I can tell you is the Clarity Sect is currently facing a crisis. It might vanish from this world in the near future.” His tone was cold and calm when he spoke. It was suitable for the greatest villain of the Evil Sky Pavilion well. Even if the world were to be destroyed, it would have nothing to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Pan Litian opened his eyes. He furrowed his brows. After a long time, he finally said, “All I want is some wine. The rise and fall of Clarity Sect have nothing to do with me.” He raised the jar of wine and brought it to his mouth. He loudly gulped the wine down. Some of the wine spilled onto his chest that made him look even filthier.

“Good wine!” Pan Litian drank cheerfully with no inhibition. It seemed like he really did not care about the Clarity Sect.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “Mo Qi and You Hongyi are both heavily wounded. The Clarity Sect is now in chaos… Aren’t you concerned at all?”

“Nope.” This time, Pan Litian’s answer was firm. He drank again.

How could Pan Litian be so indifferent about his former comrades? This was not like the Pan Litian of old. What puzzled Lu Zhou was that Pan Litian knew his identity might be exposed, and yet, he still came to the Evil Sky Pavilion. What was his motive? He was clearly unafraid of death. He had said it himself, the life of the current Pan Litian was worthless.

“Keep an eye on him,” Lu Zhou instructed.

Pan Litian regained his initial composure. He grinned lazily and said, “Thanks… for the wine…”

Lu Zhou returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Little Yuan’er could not understand this. Hence, she followed her master. “Master… Is the old beggar really the Pan Litian?!” Lu Zhou nodded and said, “If he says he’s not, then, he’s not…”

Lu Zhou returned to the hidden chamber with his hands on his back, leaving a perplexed Little Yuan’er behind.

“Uh… so, is he… or is he not?” Little Yuan’er looked at her master’s retreating back and scratched her head as she mumbled, “Am I really as dumb as senior brother said?”

Inside the hidden chamber.

Lu Zhou sat with his legs crossed. He brought the Sky Fragments out and placed them in front of him. To be more precise, there were five fragments and the Sky Bow.

If he wanted to complete the mission, he would have to disassemble and refine the Sky Bow. He had two Refining Talismans left.

Lu Zhou called up the system’s tool list. He studied the specifications of the Refining Talismans. He was not very confident about the Refining Talismans.

Refining Talismans could reset weapons to before they acknowledged their current master. Even if the Refining Talismans could supply sufficient unique energy to refine the weapon, it might not be able to disassemble the Sky Bow and return the Sky Fragments. This meant he had to personally extract the fragments.

“Let’s give it a try.” Lu Zhou raised his hand. A Refining Talisman appeared in his hand.

With his Dao-shaping stage Divine Court realm cultivation base, it was not difficult for him to keep a weapon afloat.

The Sky Bow hovered before him. With just a thought, the Refining Talisman floated toward the Sky Bow.

Whoosh!

The Refining Talisman burst into flames, and scarlet flames swiftly enveloped the Sky Bow.

These unique flames emanated scorching heat.

Lu Zhou found the heat slightly unbearable at close distance. He had to conjure some of his Primal Qi to form an energy wall to keep the heat at bay. Even so, he could only block half of the heat. He could still feel some heat through his energy wall. After all, he was not in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm yet, he could not completely insulate himself from the heat. He had no other choice but to bear with it.

‘This temperature is still bearable.’

The flames were still burning the Sky Bow. The scarlet flames gradually turned a deep shade of blue. It sizzled as it burned. With this, the Sky Bow eventually turned red.

Lu Zhou wrapped the Sky Bow in energy. Extracting the fragments was not as simple as he had imagined. From the beginning of the refinement process, he had yet to see any materials that resembled the Sky Fragments.

There was no rushing these matters. He had no choice but to wait.

The Refining Talisman’s unique energy was extremely peculiar… It was as if it would continue to exist as long as Lu Zhou did not recall it. It seemed inexhaustible.

This process lasted for about an hour.

The Sky Bow’s turned even redder.

“Hm?” Lu Zhou noticed most of the Sky Bow’s materials were melted away by the unique flame energy. When he saw this, he quickly retracted his energy.

Plop!

The molten metal dripped as though it was water. The molten metal fell onto the floor and quickly solidified. It released a black smoke and a charred smell.

“No wonder these three Sky Fragments did not produce a heaven-grade weapon!”

There was no way that such a crude forging method and low-grade supplementary materials could produce a good weapon.

In any case, this made it easier for him to extract the Sky Fragments. Low-quality materials were unable to withstand the high heat. They would be melted by the flames’ energy.

Molten substances continued to drop.

Two hours passed by in a blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Lu Zhou had comprehended the Heavenly Writing that put him in a great mental state. After keeping this up for so long, he still felt energetic.

Plop!

The final drop finally fell.

Lu Zhou waved his arm.

Energy surged, and the Refining Talisman’s energy instantly vanished.

Three crooked Sky Fragments appeared before him.

“Ding! Recovered Sky Fragment x3. Reward: 300 merit points.”

“Ding! Completed Sky Fragment recovery mission. Reward: 1,000 merit points.” “Combine Sky Fragments?” When he saw the query on the system dashboard, Lu Zhou nodded.

These eight Sky Fragments had been a single object in the first place. When Ji Tiandao obtained the Sky Fragments, he did not think much of them because of their low grades. However, it seemed like Ji Tiandao had missed out on something extraordinary.

“Combine.”

The right Sky Fragments shone and slowly merged into one.

Lu Zhou stared at it anticipatorily

‘What will it turn into?’
