My Disciples Are All Villains

"Defying the heavens and changing fate?" Si Wuya asked as he looked up.

The white tower looked like a tall layered cake. The part that towered above the clouds was like a chimney.

The main body of the white tower was covered with densely-packed Dao inscriptions. These Dao inscriptions were hidden in the white carvings. As Primal Qi surged, the inscriptions lit up one after another, spreading upward like a glowing spider web.

Lan Xihe continued to fly steadily upward.

Ning Wanqing said, "Tower Master Lan has been making multiple preparations since a long time ago. To defy her fate, she has to break through her cultivation or find a way to increase her lifespan. The latter is useless while she might have a chance attempting the former…"

Ning Wanqing continued to say, "This white tower was originally not this tall. In order to absorb the purest energy in the world, Tower Master Lan ordered people to increase it to a height of 100,000 feet. The Daoist Rite Temple is located on the 80th floor and is the place with the densest Primal Qi. It's the best for cultivation. The white tower is able to stand not just because it's sturdy, but also because of the Dao inscriptions on its wall. The black tower has 3,600 Dao inscriptions protecting it, right? Compared to the white tower, they're nothing. The white tower has at least 30,000 Dao inscriptions."

Lu Zhou and the others continued to stare at Lan Xihe who was still slowly rising in the air.

One could only imagine how many methods Lan Xihe had searched for and attempted in order to survive. She had even snuck into the Unknown Land many times.

Ning Wanqing said again, "30,000 Dao inscriptions not only strengthen the white tower, but it can also gather the Primal Qi in the surroundings. Tower Master Lan can use the Sun, Moon, Star Wheel to mobilize this power." Then, he changed the topic and said, "When Tower Master Lan sparred with Pavilion Master Lu, she didn't use her full strength. Even when facing Lu Wu, the beast emperor, she didn't use her full strength."

Based on what they had seen of Lan Xihe and Ning Wanqing's behavior, he did not seem to be lying. How could a cultivator who had activated 13 Birth Charts, even if she had made a mistake in her cultivation, not have some secret means? If she did not use her full strength, then what was the extent of her strength?

The Dao inscriptions continued to light up from the first floor until they reached the 30th floor. They continued to light floor by floor.

Little Yuan'er scoffed and said, "Well, my master didn't use his full strength either…"

Ning Wanqing did not dare to refute Little Yuan'er's words and only smiled.

Little Yuan 'er made a face at Ning Wanqing before she remembered he could not see her. She asked, "You don't believe me?"

"I believe you. Of course, I believe you." Ning Wanqing smiled slightly. He could see Little Yuan'er was inexperienced and young so he did not want to lower himself and bicker with her.

However, who knew Si Wuya, who was beside Little Yuan'er, would say politely, "Please forgive me, Judge Ning. My Ninth Junior Sister has always been direct with her words. They don't sound very pleasing to the ears, but they're true."

Ning Wanqing simply swallowed the words hanging on the tip of his tongue into his stomach.

The Dao inscriptions increased in speed the higher they went.

When they reached the 80th floor, Lan Xihe came to a stop. The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel separated into two and flew to her sides.

The surrounding Primal Qi began to surge and the wind began to rage.

"Everyone, pay attention."

The elders flew in all directions to ensure that the chaotic Primal Qi would not spread too far and affect the innocent.

Lan Xihe looked down at Lu Zhou and said, "I know the success rate is very low, but I still want to try."

Lu Zhou did not say anything.

Lan Xihe suddenly flew toward the clouds.

Buzz!

A white avatar appeared near the 100th floor.

At the same time, the Dao inscriptions lit up and rushed to the top of the tower before the light illuminated everything in the surroundings.

The Primal Qi in the sky churned, looking like a tornado.

Boom!

Lightning began to flash, accompanied by claps of thunder.

The Primal Qi in the sky turned into energy seals that collided with each other, creating a louder noise than the thunder.

Ning Wanqing suddenly flew up and stopped in midair. His eyes emitted a faint light, and his ears began to twitch. After a beat, he turned to the north and frowned slightly before he said, "The people of Great Ming are finally here…"

Realization dawned on Si Wuya immediately upon hearing these words. He said, "As it turns out, she wants to try one last time to change her fate but was afraid the people from Great Ming would seize this chance to cause trouble… No wonder she invited master to stay here…"

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back. He had already guessed this. He asked indifferently, "Are you sure I'll stand on the White Tower Council's side?"

Ning Wanqing wore an awkward expression on his face when he heard these words.

Ding Ling rushed over from afar and hastily said, "It's not Tower Master Lan's intention to use Pavilion Master Lu!"

At this time, Lan Xihe's voice rang from above.

"Whether I fail or succeed, I will no longer be the Tower Master of the White Tower Council."

Buzz!

The white lotus began to spin as the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel emitted a dazzling light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lightning flashed in the sky at a fast frequency, and the energy seals began to wreak havoc in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A huge number of energy seals landed on the white tower as the 30,000 Dao inscriptions flashed in sync with the time the white tower was hit.

Boom!

A bolt of dark blue lightning struck down, cutting through the clouds. Its terrifying power traveled down the white tower before reaching Lan Xihe's position in just an instant.

At this time, The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel flew up and revolved around the tip of the tower.

Buzz!

The sound of energy resonating between the white avatar and the power of heaven and earth rang in the air.

Lu Zhou frowned upon seeing this. He was the only one who did not have a shocked expression on his face. Instead, he shook his head and sighed. As a transmigrator, he felt that even if he was a Twelve Chart expert, he would still think twice about facing the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning. Although the cultivation world could not be judged by common sense, humans were still made of flesh and blood after all. The power in this instant was enough to reduce a person into ashes. How many cultivators were able to withstand such force? No one knew since no one had the confidence to test it out.

Rumble!

When the energy seals and lightning flashed in unison, they were like a pale imitation of Thunderblast.

At this time, cultivators from all directions rushed over.

Ning Wanqing immediately transmitted his voice to the members of the White Tower Council. "Outsiders are not allowed to get close. Otherwise, kill without mercy."

A distant voice said, "I'm Great Ming's Grand Tutor, Gongsun Yuanxuan. I'm here to visit because I'm worried about Tower Master Lan's health."

Bi Shuo, another judge of the White Tower Council, replied, "We'll say this for the last time; no one is allowed to get close."

As expected, the surrounding cultivators did not get close. They all stopped in their tracks and looked up at the white avatar that was 1,150 feet tall. Expressions of awe and admiration could be seen on their faces.

Gongsun Yuanxuan transmitted his voice and said, "Heed my advice and stop. Mortals can't control the power of heaven and earth."

"There's no need for Grand Tutor to worry," Bi Shuo replied.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck and traveled rapidly through the white tower.

At the same time, the 30,000 Dao inscriptions that glowed with a light glowed blue immediately before gathering near the avatar.

An astrolabe flew out at this moment and intercepted the force from the lightning. The power of heaven and earth surged into the astrolabe, causing the 36 triangles to spin rapidly as they grew in size.

Lan Xihe spat out a mouthful of blood immediately.

"Tower Master!"

"Tower Master Lan!"

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Yuanxuan waved his sleeve and said, "Go and have a look!"

All the cultivators in the surroundings approached the white tower immediately.

At this time, a loud voice rang from the top of the 100,000-foot-tall white tower.

"All of you, get lost!"

A beam of faint light shot out of each of Lan Xihe's eyes, sweeping past all living things.

This caused Gongsun Yuanxuan and the cultivators to stop in their tracks.

"What a powerful force! Stop! Everyone, stop!" Gongsun Yuanxuan said.

With that, no one dared to come any closer.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck the top of the white tower again.

Bang!

Pebbles began to roll down the white tower, causing everyone to cry out in alarm.

Gongsun Yuanxuan wanted to bring his people closer, but seeing the terrifying power, he instantly ordered his men to retreat.

"Retreat!"

The Great Ming's cultivators retreated 1,000 meters immediately.

Dark clouds covered the entire sky at this moment.

Lan Xihe's expression grew more and more unsightly as she called out, "Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel."

The Sun, Moon, Star Wheel spun rapidly at the top of the white tower.

After a beat, she called out again, "Star Wheel."

With that, the Star Wheel that seemed bigger than the white tower carried Lan Xihe to the top of the white tower.
