My Disciples Are All Villains

"Do you think you can stop me? You damn blind man! I'm not King Chen of Wu."

The white-clad cultivator was none other than Ning Wanqing, the judge from the White Tower Council.

Ning Wanqing smiled and said leisurely, "You seem to be in a hurry. Your aura is in a mess. Must be because you're irritable…"

"Stop being so damn long-winded." The black-clad cultivator charged out.

The duo began to engage in a fierce battle.

Energy seals filled the sky in just an instant.

Duanmu Sheng crawled up and grabbed the Overlord Spear. He coughed twice and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. When he got to his feet, he saw that a new wave of Li Lis had already climbed over the mountain of corpses. He gritted his teeth and rushed up to the Li Lis with his Overlord Spear in hand.

Energy spears burst out, piercing the Li Lis' heads. With that, they rolled down and became part of the mountain of corpses.

"Let's go." Ning Wanqing's voice rang in Duanmu Sheng's ears.

"We can't leave... We can't let the Li Lis into Jianbei Circuit," Duanmu Sheng said as he endured the excruciating pain. If he were not hammered by Ji Tiandao's explosive fists since he was young, he would have died a long time ago today. It was also thanks to the recovery ability of his cultivation method that he was gradually gaining strength.

Ning Wanqing continued to deal with the opponent's attacks as he turned to look in the direction of the Li Lis. Naturally, he could not see the Li Lis, but he could feel the endless stream of energy from the fierce beasts. After a beat, he said to Duanmu Sheng, "But this can't continue…"

Duanmu Sheng glanced at Ning Wangqing and his opponent before he asked, "Can you deal with him?"

"Of course," Ning Wanqing answered straightforwardly.

"Then there's no reason to retreat... I promised Seventh Junior Brother that I definitely won't let the Li Lis enter Jianbei Circuit…" Duanmu Sheng said. His eyes were brimming with confidence as he looked at the endless wave of Li Lis charging over.

Ning Wanqing had long sensed the withering plants in the surroundings; he knew the Li Lis were strange. Hence, he said with a smile, "Alright, I grant you your wish…"

The black-clad cultivator heard the duo's conversation and said in a deep voice, "You're dreaming! You're just a mere Nine-leaf cultivator." Then, he said to Ning Wanqing, "Let's see how you're going to protect him!"

The black-clad cultivator turned around and struck with his palm.

Ning Wanqing flashed and blocked the palm seal. Then, he joined his palms together before countless white palm seals flew out, covering the sky. "With me here, you won't be able to hurt him in the slightest."

The two opponents were locked in a stalemate while Duanmu Sheng continued to brandish his Overlord Spear, defending Jianbei Circuit from the Li Lis that emitted wicked purple smoke.

...

After a night had passed, Lu Zhou recovered more than half of his supreme mystic power. Although he did not fully recover his supreme mystic power, he was very satisfied with the recovery speed. The more he used the Purple Glazed Ceramic, the more he felt it was a great treasure. He wondered where Ye Zhen obtained such a treasure.

Subsequently, he used the supreme mystic power to observe the situations in the four circuits. He found there were not many changes from yesterday evening. Jiangdong Circuit had calmed down a lot.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhou was puzzled; he could not figure it out even after he thought about it for a while. "What are Mu Ertie and the beast emperor waiting for?"

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry. The more his enemy hid, the more beneficial it would be for him. With this thought, he continued meditating on the Heavenly Writing.

…

On the morning of the second day.

Si Wuya entered the Hall of Runes and bowed before he said, "Master, there's movement."

"Speak."

"A large number of fierce beasts from Jiannan Circuit are heading toward Jianbei Circuit. It's not just that, even the fierce beasts in Shanbei Circuit and Jiangbei Circuit are heading toward Jianbei Circuit," Si Wuya said.

"Jianbei Circuit? "Lu Zhou was puzzled.

Si Wuya said, "The movements of the fierce beasts are very strange. My guess is that it has something to do with the Star Gathering Formation."

'The Star Gathering Formation?' Lu Zhou frowned and muttered to himself, "Old Third…"

His eyes glowed blue, and soon enough, he saw corpses of Li Lis that were piled almost 1,000 meters high.

Duanmu Sheng, who was gripping the Overlord Spear tightly, was completely drenched in blood. However, he was still brandishing the Overlord Spear tirelessly like a machine.

Lu Zhou ordered immediately, "Open the runic passage to the Jianbei Circuit immediately. Bring Di Jiang along."

Si Wuya could tell something was amiss based on Lu Zhou's words. He said with a frown, "We have no runic passage leading to Jianbei Circuit…"

"Di Jiang," Lu Zhou called out.

Di Jiang flew in from outside at lightning speed.

Lu Zhou leaped onto Di Jiang's back and flew out without saying another word. As soon as he flew outside, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Ying Zhao?" Lu Zhou looked at Ying Zhao in confusion.

Si Wuya, who walked out at this moment, raised his head and said, "I'll summon Conch..."

"No need."

Lu Zhou was in a hurry. Moreover, if Conch came with him, his speed would slow down. In the end, he leaped off Di Jiang's back and landed on Ying Zhao's back. "Let's go!"

Ying Zhao spread its wings and flew toward Jianbei Circuit like a heavenly horse.

Si Wuya paced back and forth anxiously; wondering if he should go with his master.

At this time, Di Jiang landed on the ground, looking like a dejected eggplant.

"Idiot! Now's not the time to be jealous..."

…

Halfway to Jianbei Circuit.

Lu Zhou and Ying Zhao were flying high in the sky.

Ying Zhao's altitude was almost similar to a Sky Shuttle, and its speed was only slightly slower than Di Jiang.

When Lu Zhou looked down, he saw flying beasts and fierce beasts stampeding their way toward Jianbei Circuit.

"What's going on?" He was puzzled.

Ying Zhao made a gurgling sound. Unfortunately, Lu Zhou could not understand it at all.

Ying Zhao's intelligence was obviously much higher than Lu Zhou had imagined. As though it was trying to show Lu Zhou something, it flew in a curve and lowered its altitude.

Following that, Lu Zhou saw an incomprehensible scene.

The flying beasts that resembled scarlet pheasants, eagles, goshawks, and small wild birds were carrying human corpses in their mouths.

Lu Zhou looked down.

Similarly, the fierce beasts on land, beasts that resembled tigers, leopards, jackals, and other animals, were also carrying human corpses in their mouths.

There were even a few huge Birth Chart Beasts that were carrying human corpses on their bodies.

All of them were rushing toward Jianbei Circuit in a frenzy.

Ying Zhao let out another cry before it flew high up into the sky again. Its wings twinkled like stars before its speed suddenly exploded!

"You know how to utilize Primal Qi?" Lu Zhou was inwardly shocked.

Humans were intelligent so they knew how to cultivate.

Low-level fierce beasts that did not possess intelligence naturally did not know how to cultivate. They were only driven by their basic instinct to eat humans. The vitality energy and essences they obtained would then slowly form life hearts.

Following that, a grim thought appeared in Lu Zhou's mind: if Ying Zhao knew how to utilize Primal Qi, then it was likely that fierce beasts with higher levels than Ying Zhao knew how to cultivate.

...

After flying for a time, Lu Zhou saw a red flying carriage in the clouds ahead.

"Go over."

Ying Zhao shook its head.

Lu Zhou said, "Don't worry. I know the owner of the red carriage."

With these words, Ying Zhao finally flew toward the red carriage.

A blue-clad female cultivator emerged from the red flying chariot at this time. When she saw Lu Zhou, she exclaimed in surprise, "Pavilion Master Lu?"

Lu Zhou and Ying Zhao landed on the deck of the red flying chariot.

The female attendants bowed before they retreated.

Lan Xihe's voice that sounded as calm as a still lake rang from inside the flying chariot.

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lu Zhou stood on the deck and asked, "Are you going to Jianbei Circuit as well?"

Lan Xihe said, "Yes. The movements are too abnormal. I want to have a look..."

"What do you think?" Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and looked down at the mountains.

"The fierce beasts didn't devour the humans… The beast emperor must have appeared. As for the uses of the corpses, I'm not sure either," Lan Xihe replied.

Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Since they want to die, I'll grant them their wish."

Lan Xihe smiled and said, "I admire Pavilion Master Lu's confidence the most."

At this moment, Ying Zhao made a few gurgling noises again.

Lu Zhou turned to look at Ying Zhao in confusion.

Lan Xihe, who had heard Ying Zhao, said, "I didn't expect Pavilion Master Lu to be able to tame this Ying Zhao."

Lu Zhou said, "I recalled you wanted Ying Zhao's life heart as well…"

"I wanted to give it to the next Tower Master of the White Tower Council," Lan Xihe said.

Ying Zhao made gurgling noises again.

Lu Zhou naturally knew Ying Zhao was trying to tell him something important. He leaped onto Ying Zhao's back immediately.

With that, Ying Zhao flew out of the red flying chariot without any hesitation.

Lu Zhou said, "Wait."

Ying Zhao stopped.

Before Lu Zhou could speak, Lan Xihe said, "Pavilion Master, you should go. Ying Zhao is an intelligent beast, and it has a special sensing ability. It's enough for me to go to Jianbei Circuit. I, alone, can fight against thousands of soldiers and horses…"

"Alright."

Ying Zhao dove before it suddenly changed directions. It spread its wing that gleamed with light before it shot toward Jiangbei Circuit.
