My Disciples Are All Villains

"Fifth Senior Brother is indeed in the wrong, but destroying three of his Birth Charts is too harsh! He's a Venerable Master; one of Great Han's pillars. He's one of only seven Venerable Masters in Great Han. If you destroy three of his Birth Charts and prohibit him from restoring them within three days, it's no different from killing him!"

"Zhang Xiaoruo, hurry up and kowtow to master! Admit your mistake and apologize to Mr. Third from the Evil Sky Pavilion!" Hua Yin said. As the Eldest Senior Brother, his words were thunderous at this moment.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoruo's emotions were turbulent as well. In the past, when he made mistakes, his master would criticize and lecture him. At most, he would be punished with a cane. He truly did not expect his master to want to destroy three of his Birth Charts for a group of outsiders. He felt extremely wronged and angry. Nonetheless, he moved forward on his knees, and when he reached the edge of the step, he said, "I was wrong, master! I beg you to forgive me! Master, I know my mistakes now. Please forgive me!"

Chen Fu looked at Zhang Xiaoruo. In the past, when his body was fine, he could restrain his disciple with his strength and status. However, now that his time was almost up, who else could restrain his disciple? He did not want Autumn Dew Mountain to fall, and he did not want chaos to descend on Great Han. After all, he knew the chaos would be brought by his disciples. He did not wish for Autumn Dew Mountain to bear this eternal infamy.

Chen Fu watched quietly as Zhang Xiaoruo kowtowed and admitted his mistakes.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly rang from the horizon outside of Autumn Dew Mountain.

"Great Saint Chen, please calm down."

The others raised their heads.

Chen Fu did not even look up. He said, "Wei Cheng?"

Flying chariots hovered in the sky. Groups of cultivators and soldiers surrounded the flying chariots.

At this moment, Chen Fu's attendant said with a bow, "They're from the royal court."

Chen Fu said calmly, "Since they're here, tell them to come down."

Since Chen Fu had been severely injured by the Great Void Emperor, the people of the royal court had been asking about his situation. He was not sure how the royal court found out he was injured in the first place. In the end, he assumed the people from the Great Void must have leaked the news to sow discord.

The Great Void rarely interferes in the nine domains' affairs, but this time, the Great Void Emperor personally took action. The so-called rules had long been thrown away.

Chen Fu knew he had to handle the affairs of Great Han carefully to prevent the common people from suffering. Over the past twenty years, he had ordered his attendant to search for Lu Zhou everywhere. After painstaking efforts, he finally found Lu Zhou. In all of the nine domains, Lu Zhou was the only one who could help Autumn Dew Mountain and Great Han to get through the incoming disaster.

At this time, Hua Yin said, "There's no need to invite irrelevant people here."

As soon as Hua Yin's voice fell, two figures flew out from their respective flying chariots and landed in front of the training hall. Both of them were dignified-looking middle-aged men. They were both dressed in armor. The one on the left looked slightly more mature while the one on the right looked younger. The two men were almost the same size.

After the two men landed, they looked around curiously, assessing the situation. When they saw the cracked floor and Zhang Xiaoruo kneeling on the ground, they bowed to Chen Fu and said, "Greetings, Saint Chen."

Chen Fu nodded. "Wei Cheng, Su Bie."

Wei Chen and Su Bie were the other two Venerable Masters in Great Han who were not from Autumn Dew Mountain.

After greeting Chen Fu, the duo bowed slightly at the other disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain. Then, when they bowed at one of the disciples on the right, they called out, "Your Majesty."

Lu Zhou looked over. He had almost forgotten that one of Chen Fu's disciples was the emperor of Great Han.

From the beginning until the end, the emperor had kept a very low profile and did not say much. He only watched everything calmly.

Lu Zhou had overlooked him. Now that he looked at the emperor of Great Han again, he thought the other party was truly not simple. The other party seemed patient enough and knew to maintain a low profile.

Moreover, the emperor of Great Han did not seem to put on any airs with his fellow disciples as well. However, earlier, he did not speak up for Zhang Xiaoruo and had only kneeled symbolically.

"In Autumn Dew Mountain, there's no emperor," Liu Zheng, the emperor of Great Han, said.

Wei Cheng and Su Bie nodded.

In the cultivation world, ranks and status in the secular world did not mean anything.

Wei Cheng and Su Bie were Venerable Masters. In Great Han, they were on equal footing with Liu Zheng.

The most powerful and influential person in Great Han was Chen Fu.

At this time, Lu Zhou finally said, "Emperor of Great Han?"

Chen Fu said, "You should've known this a long time ago."

"What a great emperor of Great Han," Lu Zhou said tonelessly.

Liu Zheng stepped forward and said to Lu Zhou, "There's no emperor here, only cultivators. I hope senior will overlook this."

Lu Zhou thought Liu Zheng was very good at acting.

Chen Fu said, "I accepted him as a disciple to maintain the safety and peace of the world. With the help from Autumn Dew Mountain, the people of Great Han live and work in peace. Su Bie, why did you come to Autumn Dew Mountain?"

Su Bie replied, "I heard that Saint Chen isn't feeling well so I came to visit. Moreover, His Majesty has been in Autumn Dew Mountain over the past few days. The country can't do without its ruler for even a day."

Chen Fu nodded. "Apart from this, what else is there?"

Naturally, these could not be the only reasons for the visit. After all, why would two Venerable Masters come just to bring the emperor back?

Su Bie replied, "I also want to ask Saint Chen to spare Zhang Xiaoruo."

"Reason?" Chen Fu asked. Initially, he had been slightly moved and hesitated to punish Zhang Xiaoruo. However, upon hearing Su Bie's words, he lost all intentions to spare his disciple.
