My Disciples Are All Villains

Yu Zhenghai had already left to rest, and Shen Xi had left as well.

Now that everyone had left, Lu Zhou studied the Seven Star Sword in front of him as he stroked his beard.

The sword's quality was good and could be considered a mid to high flood-grade weapon. If he were to deconstruct it, what would he get? However, it was a flood-grade weapon, after all. It seemed like a waste to just deconstruct it. Moreover, he still had a bunch of weapons that were of lower grades such as the heaven grade and the desolate grade.

"I'll keep them for now." When the time was right, he would deconstruct them.

All his disciples possessed weapons suited to them now and did not need anything else. Yu Shangrong who was the most skilled in sword also possessed the Longevity Sword; he had no need for the Seven Star Sword.

Currently, he had 26 obsidian essences. To upgrade the Purple Glazed Ceramic, he needed 100 obsidian essences.

As he put away the Seven Star Sword, he muttered to himself, "I can't Jiang Aijian see this!"

Following that, he checked his lifespan on the system interface.

Remaining lifespan: 287,225 days (787 years in which 263 years are from Reversal Cards

"Hmm? The 500 years I obtained from activating my fifth Birth Chart just arrived?"

Did this mean the fifth Birth Chart had stabilized and it was now safe to activate his sixth Birth Chart? However, the path before him was long; it was best for him to save the life heart for now.

Out of habit, he indulged in the lucky draws again. As expected, he was thanked many times for his participation.

After he gave up, he began to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.

…

The next day.

In the golden lotus domain.

By the west lake east of Liang Province.

Ye Tianxing sat on Cheng Huang and scanned her surroundings quietly. She searched for a long time but did not see the elegant woman.

"I've been tricked," Ye Tianxin murmured. When she recalled how the elegant woman killed so many experts with just one move, she muttered to herself, "I better report this to master as soon as possible."

As soon as her voice fell, a voice rang from the nearby forest.

"You're here."

"Huh?"

A shadow flashed.

Lan Xihe appeared above the lake, seemingly out of thin air. There was a faint smile on her face as she looked at Ye Tianxin who was riding Cheng Huang.

Ye Tianxin looked at Lan Xihe warily and asked, "Who are you really?"

"Don't worry. I have no ill intentions toward you. Do you think you'll still be alive if I bore ill will?" Lan Xihe said.

"Then why did you approach me?" Ye Tian asked skeptically.

Lan Xihe looked away and sighed softly. "My instinct tells me that you're different."

"I'm different?" Ye Tianxin pointed at herself. This was the first time she was praised by a woman. She looked at her white clothes, white shoes, white skin, white hair, and… Cheng Huang… Indeed, she was quite different.

"You can't be ordinary if Cheng Huang follows you. You must be a fairfolk. I heard that the fairfolks are one of the races that are bestowed with immortality," Lan Xihe said.

"Immortality?"

"It's just something I heard…" Lan Xihe replied.

"You still haven't told me why you approached me..." Ye Tianxin said.

Lan Xihe smiled. She flashed and appeared half a meter away from Ye Tianxin.

Surprisingly, this time Cheng Huang only took a step back and did not show signs of hostility. Instead, it raised its head and looked at Lan Xihe curiously before letting out a low cry.

Lan Xihe asked, "Little sister, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Ye Tianxin was unnerved by Lan Xihe's behavior. "... Yes…"

Indeed. Lan Xihe was very beautiful. Like Ye Tianxin, she seemed untainted by the filth in the world, like a fairy that descended to earth.

Lan Xihe sighed softly. "Alas, no matter how beautiful I am, I'll eventually grow old…"

"Old?" Lan Xihe did not seem like she was at the age where she had to worry about old age. She looked younger than most women.

Lan Xihe looked at Ye Tianxin and smiled. "I'm dying. I have five years to live at most. I've looked for many ways to avoid it, but it's useless… I don't want to die with regrets..."

Ye Tianxin asked, puzzled, "Regrets?"

"If you stand on the peak, you can look down on everyone. You can control their lives and deaths," Lan Xihe said.

Ye Tianxin smiled. "But you only have five years. Even if you give me all your strength, you won't be able to do it…"

Ye Tianxin assumed Lan Xihe thought she was talented and wanted to accept her as a disciple. She assumed Lan Xihe's regrets had something to do with not being able to pass her powers to another person.

Contrary to Ye Tianxin's expectations, Lan Xihe shook her head. "I want you to take my place…"

Lan Xihe flashed again, retreating a few meters.

Ye Tianxin. "..."

"Have you heard of the Great Void?" Lan Xihe's voice seemed to ring from the distance.

"Great Void" Ye Tianxin feigned ignorance. She had spoken to Si Wuya about this a long time ago. She had taken a special medicine to hide the Great Void energy. She had no idea why she had the Great Void energy, but she knew everyone coveted it. Moreover, with Zhao Yue serving as an example, she was even more cautious.

"I have the Great Void energy..." Lan Xihe's expression was gentle and her smile was like the breeze as she said, "If you stay with me, you'll receive the nourishment from the Great Void energy. Your strength will increase greatly. After I die, you'll be able to ascend to a high position."

Ye Tianxin was surprised. "You have the Great Void energy?"

"There's no need to be so surprised..." Lan Xihe said gently, "After all, I was one of the masterminds behind the Great Void Expedition 300 years ago."

"..."

"I've been to the Great Void," A yearning expression appeared on Lan Xihe's face as she said, "I'm also the only one who obtained the Great Void energy..."

The more Ye Tianxin listened, the more alarmed she became. "You… Who are you?"

Lan Xihe ignored Ye Tianxin's question and continued to say, "Do you know I feel conflicted? I want to live forever, but I'm afraid of loneliness… However, since I can't go against heaven's will, I'll just obey it..."

At this moment, Lan Xi flicked her jade-like fingers lightly.

Buzz!

A dazzling astrolabe appeared behind Lan Xihe immediately.

The astrolabe looked nothing like anything Ye Tianxin had seen before. She had seen her master and Shen Xi's astrolabes before. Whether they were gold or black, the astrolabe was completely different. The thirty-six triangles shone brilliantly on the astrolabe. At the same time, a scarlet light appeared between her arms, complementing the astrolabe.

Whoosh!

Lan Xihe's blue hair fluttered in the wind as she withdrew her astrolabe.

"..."

The whole world returned to normal in the span of a breath.

Ye Tianxin did not manage to see how many Birth Charts Lan Xihe had.

Ye Tianxin was in a daze. She could feel the immensity of the power that could not be described with words.

Lan Xihe said with a faint smile, "Are you willing?"

"I..."

If it were anyone else, they would accept it without hesitation.

Lan Xihe also believed that no one in the world could resist this temptation.

However, after a short moment, Ye Tianxin said, "I'm not willing."
