My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 488: Intangible Instructions are the Most Fatal

At this moment, Lu Zhou looked at Yu Zhenghai…

Name: Yu Zhenghai

Identity: Wuqian (human)

Realm: Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm

If it were not for the Appearance Alteration Card, it would have been practically impossible for him to meet Yu Zhenghai, judging by how quickly he had run earlier.

Everyone sighed in relief.

Compared to an unfamiliar Nine-leaf expert who appeared out of nowhere, the disciples of the Nether Sect and Penglai Sect preferred to face Ji Tiandao. After all, he was the master of the Sect Master of the Nether Sect Master. This meant, in a way, he was in the same camp, right?

Lu Zhou brought Conch back into the great hall through the hole in the wall.

The others followed.

Hua Chongyang patted Shen Liangshou’s shoulders and said, “Are you coming?”

Shen Liangshou said after looking up, “Go on ahead. I… I’ll slap myself a few more times to hammer it into my memories.”

“Suit yourself.” Hua Chongyang felt regretful and helpless as well. If it were not for him, the old senior would not be here at all.

However, at this juncture, there was no other way but to plow on.

Hua Chongyang entered the great hall.

Si Wuya was still carrying Yu Zhenghai as he said, “Master, Eldest Senior Brother is injured. I’ll take him back.”

Lu Zhou extended a palm. A palm seal struck him.

Si Wuya, initially, thought his master intended to strike him. However, after a while, he discovered his master had merely lifted the mantra that suppressed Yu Zhenghai’s cultivation base.

“Thank you, master.” Si Wuya left the great hall through the main entrance with Yu Zhenghai on his back and headed to the resting room.

…

Inside the room.

Si Wuya tossed Yu Zhenghai on the bed. He said with a sigh, “I’ve already told you that master isn’t a simple character… but you wouldn’t listen.” As he spoke, he flipped his palm and channeled some of his Primal Qi into Yu Zhenghai’s body.

Si Wuya continued to say, “You should be grateful that master is the one who showed up today. If it were some other Nine-leaf cultivator, do you think he would’ve been satisfied with Jing Province alone?”

After channeling his Primal Qi into Yu Zhenghai’s Extraordinary Eight Meridians, Si Wuya was baffled. “There are no internal injuries? Forget it, you aren’t so cowardly back then. Even the young lady’s tune could subdue you.” Then, he said with a sigh, “Here lies the great Sect Master of the Nether Sect.”

After sensing Yu Zhenghai’s condition had stabilized, Si Wuya rose to his feet and left the room, closing the door behind him.

The room was plunged into darkness immediately.

Yu Zhenghai’s eyes snapped open immediately in the darkness, and he sat up straight. His heart was thumping wildly in his chest.

He stood up and walked to the door. Then, he fell to the ground and tried to peek through the narrow slit before he patted his chest.

Soon after, he returned to the bed and sat down slowly with a soft sigh.

“I didn’t want to do this as well.”

He tried to circulate the Primal Qi inside his dantian’s sea of Qi. He was surprised and puzzled to find that his cultivation base was no longer restricted. However, he was still cautious and did not recklessly circulate his Primal Qi.

The Nine-leaf stage was no laughing matter.

Yu Zhenghai laid down, acting as though he was asleep.

…

Inside the great hall.

Lu Zhou looked at everyone.

For a long while, nobody said anything.

At this moment, Si Wuya walked into the great hall.

“Greetings, master,” Si Wuya said with a bow, “Eldest Senior Brother’s condition has stabilized.”

Lu Zhou looked at Si Wuya. Knowing Si Wuya had made up his mind, he asked again, “You’re determined to take down Jing Province?”

Si Wuya fell to his knees immediately. “Master… Currently, Jing Province City is an impregnable fortress. Eldest Senior Brother is at his wits’ end. I proposed we lay siege on the city with vicious beasts.”

At this juncture, everyone glanced at Miss Conch who was seated at the side.

“That’s a good idea, but… do you know how much Primal Qi and how high one’s cultivation base are needed to control these beasts? Conch isn’t a cultivator.”

‘Conch?’ Although Si Wuya had guessed this young lady was the person who understood the tongue of beasts, he was not aware that she was not a cultivator. It was not enough for her to know the tongue of beasts. When the beasts fought, they could be easily frightened by powerful cultivators if nobody spurred them on. He looked at Conch with a slightly shocked expression. “She isn’t a cultivator?” Then, he shook his head and said with a sigh, “In that case, we can only think of another way.”

“Wen Shu can’t be easily dealt with,” Lu Zhou said.

Naturally, Si Wuya knew Wen Shu was not a simple character whom they could easily defeat.

At this moment, Huang Shijie cupped his fists and said, “I sympathize with Sect Master Yu. The Penglai Sect is willing to lend a helping hand to the Nether Sect.”

Lu Zhou looked at Huang Shijie. “Hm?”

Huang Shijie was startled. “I’m not asking for anything in return. I’m purely helping a friend.”

Nobody believed him.

However, Lu Zhou replied, “Alright.”

Huang Shijie. “???”

Lu Zhou stood up, looked at the night scene, and said, “Si Wuya.”

“Yes, master.”

Lu Zhou infused some Primal Qi into his voice and said loudly, “I’ll give him six months. After six months, whether he succeeds or fails, he has to be brought to me, dead or alive.”

“Yes, master!”

“Ding! Discipline Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 200 merit points.”

Based on this, it was obvious Yu Zhenghai was only feigning unconsciousness.

In fact, Lu Zhou had no plans of dragging Yu Zhenghai back to the mountain with him this time. The Nether Sect was ready to carry out their plan. Yu Zhenghai was too far into his quest to conquer the Divine Capital to turn back now. Moreover, Si Wuya had also made his choice… As their master, he had to be reasonable. As for the matters between master and disciples, he decided to leave it at the back of his mind for now.

‘Rascal, why are you playing dead for when I punched you so softly?’

Lu Zhou raised a hand and said, “Conch.”

“Mhm.”

Conch slid off her chair and nimbly walked to Lu Zhou’s side.

“I want to take you back to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Will you come with me?”

Upon hearing this, Si Wuya was shocked. He asked, “Master, are you accepting another disciple?” It had been more than five years! It had been a long time since Ji Tiandao last accepted a disciple. He did not expect his master to accept a disciple now. If the Evil Sky Pavilion opened its doors, throngs of people would swarm there.

“Who knows?” Lu Zhou said ambiguously.

When Huang Shijie and the others saw that Lu Zhou was leaving, they stood up.

“Master, it’s getting late. Why don’t you spend a night here and leave tomorrow?” Si Wuya asked.

“Ding! Disciplined Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 200 merit points.”

‘That rascal is truly a rascal. He doesn’t want me to stay here.’

At this moment, Conch grabbed Lu Zhou’s arm and happily, “I’ll go to the Evil Sky Pavilion!”

Lu Zhou turned to look at Conch and said, “What if we stay here for a month?”

“Ding! Disciplined Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 200 merit points.”

This time, Conch did not nod, but she did not reject the idea as well.

Lu Zhou could see she would rather not stay here.

“Forget it.” Lu Zhou took Conch’s hand and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. “The Darknet’s information network covers the lands under the heavens. Does that include the Western Regions where the Other Tribes live?”

Si Wuya replied confidently, “I dare not boast, but it’s the truth.”

“In that case, use every resource at your disposal to locate a woman with the surname Luo,” Lu Zhou said, “300 years ago, Yun Tianluo became the leader of the Three Sects because of her help.”

“Yes, master!” said Si Wuya with a bow.

When Huang Shijie heard this, he exclaimed in shock, “A woman with the surname Luo? 300 years ago?”

Lu Zhou looked at Huang Shijie. “You’ve heard of her?”

Huang Shijie nodded and said, “It just so happens that I have.”
