My Disciples Are All Villains

Ji Hong, Great Ming's emperor, felt his body tremble. He had seen these three experts appearing out of thin air before they killed all the experts in the palace in the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

At this time, one of the men looked at Ji Hong and said, "Our time is limited. Your Majesty, you have ten breaths to consider the matter…"

After a moment of silence, Ji Hong said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I…"

At this time, a low voice rang from outside the main hall. The soundwave swept into the hall like a huge tide.

"Wait…"

Upon hearing this voice, Ji Hong rose to his feet immediately, unable to conceal his excitement, before he quickly walked down the steps. He looked outside of the main hall and said, "The Divine Lord is here. Three of you can speak to him. He's my sworn brother; if he agrees to your request, then I'll agree as well…"

"Just in time."

The three men turned and looked outside of the main hall.

Zhu Honggong walked with his hands on his back. Initially, he wore a carefree expression on his face. However, as the sight of the corpses strewn on the ground and the stench of blood wafted into his nose, a frown that grew deeper and deeper appeared on his face. He knew these people had to be strong.

Needless to say, Lu Li knew their opponents this time were not easy to deal with. It was unfortunate that his cultivation base had yet to recover.

At this moment, hundreds of cultivators from the Flood Sect trailed behind Zhu Honggong and Lu Li. They looked rather imposing. Alas, even the most powerful among them were only at the Hundred Tribulations Insight stage.

Meanwhile, the same thought appeared in the minds of the three white-clad cultivators when they saw this group of people: a ragtag group of cultivators. The middle-aged man standing in the lead revealed a victorious smile on his face immediately.

When Zhu Honggong and the others stepped into the hall, Ji Hong rushed up to them. He had completely lost the air of a ruler at this moment. He grabbed Zhu Honggong's hand and said, "Brother, you're finally here!"

Goosebumps rose on Zhu Honggong's skin. This was his first time being addressed as 'brother' so intimately by Ji Hong. After a beat, he asked, "What happened? Why did you call me here in such a hurry with such a high-handed tone?"

"I had no choice. I'm sure you've seen what's outside..."

Zhu Hong Gong looked at the three white-clad cultivators in the hall.

The three men looked at Zhu Honggong in unison.

The man in the lead asked, "Are you the Divine Lord whom the emperor mentioned?"

"That's right. What's the matter?"

"For a Hundred Tribulations Insight cultivator, you're quite arrogant. The three of us are from Great Ming, and we spent half a year crossing the Endless Ocean before we arrived at this place. We're Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators. However, based on your cultivation, I doubt you've even heard of the Thousand Realms Whirling…" the middle-aged man said condescendingly.

Zhu Honggong frowned. He looked at Lu Li and said, "Old Lu, he insulted my intelligence!"

Lu Li said with a straight face, "Your intelligence isn't that high to begin with..."

"You are so mean! Even you are insulting me? What's so great about the Thousand Realms Whirling?" Zhu Honggong said, feeling rather speechless at Lu Li's reply.

"..."

The three white-clad men were slightly startled when they heard these words. It seemed like the fat man in front of them, Great Ming's Divine Lord, was quite knowledgeable.

Lu Li did not respond to Zhu Honggong. Instead, he walked toward the three white-clad cultivators as he asked rhetorically, "White lotus domain?"

The three white-clad men were further shocked by these words.

The man in the lead asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Li asked in return, "Are you from the White Tower Council or Great Ming's royal court?"

The three white-clad men were thoroughly shocked now.

"Who are you?" the leader of the three men asked again.

Lu Li scoffed before he said, "You're not qualified to speak to me. Even if the judges from the White Tower Council were here, they wouldn't dare to act presumptuously in front of me." Then, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm here on Tower Master Xia's orders."

"..."

The three white-clad men exchanged a look. How could they let their enemies go?

"The Black Tower Council! You're from the Black Tower Council?"

Since Lu Li had been in the yellow lotus domain for a long time, he was unaware of the changes in the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council. Since his cultivation base had not recovered, he could not contact the Black Tower Council at all.

Swoosh!

The three white-clad cultivators, who flew over the Endless Ocean for half a year before arriving at the yellow lotus domain, drew their swords immediately/

The atmosphere grew tense in just a blink of an eye.

Lu Li frowned. 'Even the mention of the Black Tower Council can't deter them? This is going to be difficult…'

"Since ancient times, the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council have been opposing sides. Since you're from the Black Tower Council, this makes things even easier for us…" the leader of the three men said.

At this moment…

"All of you, shut up!" Zhu Honggong said loudly as he walked over.

The three white-clad men looked at Zhu Honggong in confusion, wondering what he was planning to do.

On the other hand, Ji Hong, Great Ming's emperor, was even more confused. He understood the words being said, but he could not make head or tail out of them.

Zhu Honggong said, "Old Lu is from the Black Tower Council, but I'm not from the Black Tower Council."

"And who are you?" one of the white-clad men asked.

"I will scare you to death if I tell you."

One of the white-clad men laughed condescendingly upon hearing those words. When he stopped laughing, he suddenly struck without any warning.

A palm seal shot toward Zhu Honggong at lightning speed.

Shocked, Zhu Honggong hurriedly raised his hands. The gloves appeared on his hands immediately before he hurriedly crossed his arms.

Bang!

After the palm seal vanished, Zhu Honggong discovered he did not even move an inch, and he was completely unscathed. He muttered in disbelief, "I'm so powerful now?"

Lu Li said, "Your cultivation base has improved a lot. That move of yours is definitely at the Thousand Realms Whirling stage."

The expressions of the three white-clad men darkened immediately. All of them immediately assumed they were facing two Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators.

Finally, one of the white-clad men said again, "This man from the Black Tower Council must die."

At this moment, another white-clad man suddenly interjected in a low voice, "I have a message…"

"No. Let me finish what I am doing first."

"But this is the third time..."

Zhu Honggong laughed and said, "I'll give you time to call for reinforcement. Back when I unified the fierce Dragon Mountain, you were still playing with mud…"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li leaned over and whispered, "Isn't it just the Tiger Ridge?"

"... Get with the program! If you continue being this way, I won't talk to you anymore," Zhu Honggong whispered back fiercely. Then, he envisioned his master before he mimicked his master's expression and looked at the three men.

Meanwhile, the leader of three men seemed irritated as he went to a corner and lit up a white talisman. After reading the message, he muttered to himself with a confused expression on his face, "How's this possible?"

"What does the message say?" another white-clad man asked.

The leader burned the paper talisman that contained the message before he turned around and said, "We're leaving the yellow lotus domain…"

"Leader, are you joking? We found this place with great difficulty, but you want us to retreat so easily?"

The leader said, "The Grand Tutor has emphasized that we're not to disobey the order…"

Lu Li, who was standing across from the three men, said, "Gongsun Yuanxuan is quite wise. I'm Lu Li from the Black Tower Council, a descendant of the Lu clan in Great Yuan's capital. I'll give you ten breaths to disappear from my sight."

The Lu clan?

The leader of the white-clad men said, "Don't flatter yourself. We're not leaving because of you…"

Lu Li smiled but said nothing. Those who feared the Lu clan would usually say such words, after all.

The leader of the white-clad men, who were upset by the content of the message, said, "I advise you to leave the Black Tower Council as soon as possible. And you, Fatty, it's pointless for us to fight over this place. This is the territory of the Evil Sky Pavilion. If it were not for the Grand Tutor's strict orders that we're not to kill at all, I would've killed you!"

Lu Li was stunned speechless.

Zhu Honggong frowned and said in a daze, "Say that again?"

"Fatty."

"No, after that word," Zhu Honggong said.

"..." Lu Li thought to himself, 'Old Zhu, how can you tolerate this word!?'

The leader of the white-clad man said, "This is the Evil Sky Pavilion's territory. I'm not afraid to tell you that the Evil Sky Pavilion is renowned and respected in both the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. Pavilion Master Lu has said the yellow lotus domain is his territory. Both of us should save our time and leave this place…"

Zhu Honggong, who only knew his master's name was Ji Tiandao, asked in confusion, "I've heard of the Evil Sky Pavilion, but who's Pavilion Master Lu?"

"It's normal that you don't know about Pavilion Master Lu. Let me tell you..."

Zhu Honggong shook his head and interjected in a clear voice, "Could it be that no one has told you that I'm the eighth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Zhu Honggong?"

The leader of the white-clad men was taken aback for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "Indeed, I've never heard of such a thing…"

"..."
