My Disciples Are All Villains

The Feather tribe stayed in the Great Abyss Land all year round and rarely left. Even if they left to carry out missions, with the strength of cultivators in the nine domains, they would not be forced to reveal their wings. Apart from that, most of the population in the nine domains were unaware of the existence of the Feather tribe.

In ancient times, humans and fierce beasts were indistinguishable. There were many cultivators who were a hybrid of humans and fierce beasts. There were the mermaids that were half-human and half-fish, for example. Then, there were those ancient deities that were half-snake and half-human, but they were rarely seen and had only appeared in ancient books. Those who saw them were few and far in between.

It was not surprising that the Great Han's cultivators were dumbfounded when they saw the two Feather tribesmen.

Meanwhile, the two Feather tribesmen looked at Lu Zhou in shock. After all, very few experts could stand up to them. In all of the nine domains, perhaps, only Chen Fu was capable of such a feat. However, Chen Fu was not here, and the person in front of them was clearly not Chen Fu.

Finally, one of the Feather tribesmen pointed at Lu Zhou and asked again with a frown, "Who are you?"

Lu Zhou looked at the two Feather tribesmen before he looked at the palace in the northern city and said, "Elder Ming De, are you looking for me?"

Lu Zhou's voice swept out like a wave.

The palace was silent; there was no response.

Suddenly, ten Feather tribesmen flew out of the palace. Including the two Feather tribesmen, there were now 12 Feather tribesmen.

At this time, Yan Mu, who had finally regained his senses, exclaimed excitedly, "Senior Lu! You're finally here!"

Lu Zhou turned to Yan Mu and said, "You're just the Sect Master of Sunset Sect, and yet, you dare to stand out. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yan Mu said honestly, "Senior, you've done the Sunset Sect a great favor in the past. Hence, I'll help you as much as I can!"

"Very good," Lu Zhou said before he pushed his hand out, casting the power of healing.

Yan Mu was in awe as he watched Lu Zhou's power of healing magically heal all his injuries. Then, when he recalled Lu Zhou's Saint Light, he grew excited again. Then, he mustered up his courage and said, "Senior, the leader of these birdmen is very terrifying! He's not easy to deal with."

Lu Zhou nodded. "That's why I personally came…"

Yan Mu: "..."

Although Yan Mu was amazed that Lu Zhou was now a Saint, he still knew a Saint could not compare to a Dao Saint.

Yan Mu was still feeling conflicted when the twelve Feather tribesmen flashed and appeared in twelve directions according to the 12 earthly branches. Then, they unfurled their wings as the lights on their bodies connected with each other.

Upon seeing this, the Qin Yuan exclaimed, "The Twelve Zodiacs Grand Formation!"

"What kind of formation is this?" Mingshi Yin asked curiously.

"It's an ancient formation that needs twelve cultivators with the same cultivation bases and the same number of Birth Charts. The 12 of them would be linked and form a temporary spatial formation. They're invincible in the formation," the Qin Yuan said.

"Invincible?" Mingshi Yin always felt skeptical when he heard exaggerative words such as 'invincible'.

The Qin Yuan said, "Of course, it's nothing in front of Pavilion Master Lu."

Mingshi Yin looked at the Qin Yuan suspiciously before he moved closer and asked in a hushed voice, "I have a question for you. Let's just keep it between us. Why do you admire my master so much?"

The Qin Yuan sized Mingshi Yin up. Then, she looked at Mingshi Yin sympathetically as she thought to herself, 'What a pitiful child! He doesn't even know his master's true identity. No wonder he'd ask such a question. However, since the Unholy One has said that we have to keep his identity a secret, I'll naturally have to cooperate.'

With that thought in mind, the Qin Yuan said tonelessly, "It's like this. I have a mutual understanding with Pavilion Master Lu. Moreover, the moment I saw him, I knew that he's an extraordinary figure! It's difficult for people to find the Qin Yuan hive in Fragrant Valley, but he found us. Moreover, there's only one person who can survive the Qin Yuan hive's attack, and that person is none other than Pavilion Master Lu!"

"..."

Mingshi Yin scratched his head and said, "I feel you'll get along very well with Xia Changqiu, the Abbot of the red lotus domain's Thousand Willow Monastery. I'll introduce you to him in the future."

"Xia Changqiu? Regardless of who he is, I'm certain Pavilion Master Lu's friend must be a top-notch talent!" the Qin Yuan said confidently.

"..."

Mingshi Yin suddenly felt that the skills of Zhu Honggong, his Eighth Junior Brother, had suddenly become lackluster in comparison to the Qin Yuan. In any case, it was a good thing to have an ancient Saint slayer who was truly smitten by his master's personality and charm. With this, he did not have to trick her into joining the Evil Sky Pavilion.

At the same time, the Qin Yuan continued to look at Mingshi Yin, filled with sympathy. She sighed inwardly. 'What a pitiful child who's been kept in the dark by the Unholy One…'

At this moment, the Twelve Zodiacs Grand Formation was finally completed. A sealed space appeared in the sky above the northern city.

The lights on the Feather tribesmen's wings were like starlight in the sky.

The Great Han's cultivators looked at the sky and the 12 Feather tribesmen in shock and fear. They were no match for the Feather tribesmen, to begin with, let alone now that the Feather tribesmen were in the formation.

At this moment, the Feather tribesman in the 12-o'clock position said, "The elder has ordered for those who obstruct our work to be killed." Then, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, "Even if you're a Saint, you're no different from an ant."

Following that, the 12 Feather tribesmen tore through the sky and rushed toward Lu Zhou.

The other cultivators scattered in all directions, frightened out of their wits that they would be caught in the fight.

At the same time, Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing as he unleashed an attack from the law of destruction.

Boom!

The powers of the laws collided before negating each other.

Then, the 12 Feather tribesmen flew back to their original positions.

Upon seeing this, the Qin Yuan said disdainfully, "This is just a petty trick. Pavilion Master Lu can easily deal with them."

Lu Zhou looked around as he brought a Deadly Strike Card. Since the 12 Feather tribesmen's Birth Charts were connected, he only needed to deal with one person. With that, the 12 Zodiacs Grand Formation would naturally be broken.

Mingshi Yin asked, "If it were you, how many moves would you need to break this formation?"

The Qin Yuan thought about it for a moment as she looked at the 12 Zodiacs Grand Formation before she said, "If I'm prepared, one move is enough."

"..."

'Then, doesn't this mean my master isn't as good as you?!'

Mingshi Yin really wanted to verbalize his thoughts but thought better of it. Instead, he said, "Then, you really have no social skills. If that's the case, how can you let my master personally act?"

Upon hearing these words, the Qin Yuan smacked her forehead and said, "You're right! How can I allow Pavilion Master Lu to do such menial chores?"

Just as the Qin Yuan was about to make a move, she raised her head and saw Lu Zhou flying to the 12-o'clock position.

At the same time, the Feather tribesman at the 12-o'clock position seemed to realize Lu Zhou's intention as well. He joined his palms together, and the powers of the Feather tribesmen converged, forming a dazzling ball of light. Then, he pushed his ball of light out as he cried out, "Die, ignorant human!"

Lu Zhou crushed the Deadly Strike Card at the same time and said in a deep voice, "Impudent! You're just from the puny Feather tribe."

The familiar feeling appeared again as the energy from the Deadly Strike Card formed a vortex on Lu Zhou's palm. Following that, a palm seal shot out toward the ball of light.

The Buddhist's Great Seal of Fearlessness.

This was also the palm seal that appeared when Lu Zhou used the Deadly Strike Card for the first time.

No matter how many years had passed, Lu Zhou could not forget that feeling; the feeling of the power that could destroy the world. Whether it was a fly or a Venerable Master, the Deadly Strike Card has never failed before. In fact, he did not know the limit of this card. The only time he felt uncertain about the card was when he met the Kun in the Endless Ocean. He could roughly guess how powerful the Kun was; it was not inferior to Meng Zhang; the Azure Dragon, or the colossal beast that circled the sky above the Great Abyss Land's Pillar of Destruction.

Lu Zhou had thought about it more than once; what was the source of the Deadly Strike Card's power? The law of conservation dictated all energies had a source and a destination, and ultimately, there was a balance. He had once thought there was an Almighty being who controlled all these things. As his cultivation rose, this feeling grew stronger and stronger.

While Lu Zhou was lost in his thoughts, the dazzling golden Great Seal of Fearlessness had already crushed the ball of light. It was now flying forward again.

The Feather tribesman in the 12-o'clock position widened his eyes as he exclaimed in shock, "What kind of power is this?!"

Boom!

The Feather tribesman was caught off guard as the palm seal landed on him with the force of a mountain. Then, the power from the palm seal surged into his body.

"Arghhhh!" The Feather tribesman let out a shrill scream.

With one of the links broken, the connection formed by the 12 Zodiacs Grand Formation was naturally broken by the Great Seal of Fearlessness.

The Feather tribesman was sent flying back, spitting out blood.

The sealed space in the sky formed by the 12 Zodiacs Grand Formation vanished into spots of starlight as well. The spots of light rained down from the sky after that.

The cultivators of Great Han watched in shock.

Even the Qin Yuan, who said she could break the formation with one move, exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of the Unholy…"

Mingshi Yin frowned. "Unholy what?"

"No, nothing," the Qin Yuan hurriedly said as she thought to herself, 'Why's my mouth so disobedient?'

In the beginning, when the Qin Yuan first met Lu Zhou, she had thought he was a human expert. She was 60% convinced he was the Unholy One when she saw the few sacred relics he possessed and the power he displayed. Then, she was more than 90% convinced when she saw the Hourglass of Time and the Vast Sky Bag. However, now, she was 100% certain Lu Zhou was the Unholy One; there was no doubt at all! The way he attacked, his style, and his techniques were just as overbearing and domineering as ever!

The Qin Yuan felt incredibly moved as she watched the Unholy One who was so high and mighty that he made the entire Great Void tremble! It was not surprising that she had almost revealed his identity.

Mingshi Yin said, "Unholy or not, there are many people who called my master a demon or a devil. You're not the first to call my master by such names. However, if you want to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, it's best to say less. Although you're an ancient Saint slayer, you still have to treat my master with respect. What do you think?"

"..."

"You're right," the Qin Yuan said with a nod.

At the same time, Lu Zhou, who had just broken the 12 Zodiacs Grand Formation with a move, received a notification.

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 500 merit points."

Lu Zhou shook his head. Since the Feather tribesmen were connected, he was only rewarded once. He could clearly sense the 12 Feather tribesmen were seriously injured, but only the Feather tribesman at the 12-o'clock position lost his Birth Chart.

At this time, the cultivators looked up at Lu Zhou with eyes brimming with reverence. This was the might of a human!

Finally, the 12 Feather tribesmen regrouped in the sky and looked at Lu Zhou warily as though they were facing a great enemy.

At this time, the Qin Yuan finally said, "Pavilion Master Lu, there's no need to trouble yourself with such trivial matters. Leave this to me!"

Following that, the Qin Yuan's cloak, which was actually her wings, trembled slightly. When it fluttered, everyone's vision grew blurry. In just a moment, she had already arrived in front of the 12 Feather tribesmen. She acted decisively and mercilessly, starting a massacre.

Lu Zhou frowned.

'Is this the speed and strength of an ancient Saint Slayer?'

Lu Zhou could not catch the Qin Yuan's speed at all. In order to have a good look, he hurriedly recited the mantra for the power of sight. When his eyes shone with the Heavenly Writing power, he could finally see the Qin Yuan's actions clearly.

The Qin Yuan smiled coldly as she brandished a translucent wing blade in her hand. She flitted among the 12 Feather tribesmen, slashing at them elegantly, swiftly, and accurately.

There was no exception. The Feather tribesmen were slashed at their necks, wrists, thighs…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After a very quick battle, the Qin Yuan flew to stand in front of Lu Zhou.

The 12 Feather tribesmen froze in the sky. A few seconds later, all of them shattered like tofu and fell from the sky.

The cultivators from Great Han: "..."

Mingshi Yin and Yan Mu: "..."

Everyone was stunned by the Qin Yuan's power.

At this moment, the Qin Yuan bowed at Lu Zhou before she said with a smile, "I'm willing to clear all obstacles for Pavilion Master Lu!"
