My Disciples Are All Villains

A long time after the flying chariot had disappeared, Zhang Bie finally rose to his feet and asked, "Could he be a fake?"

King Chen of Wu shook his head. "He can't be fake."

"Isn't he dead?" Zhang Bie was puzzled.

"If you ask me, who should I ask? It's not like I have the answer," King Chen of Wu said. Then, he added, "The Black Tower Council is going to be in trouble."

…

Over the past 100 years, the Black Tower Council had expanded rapidly.

The former Tower Master of the Black Tower, Xiao Yunhe, did not return to the Black Tower Council. Instead, he went somewhere to pursue the path of cultivation. No one knew where he went, but everyone knew his connection with the Evil Sky Pavilion.

At the Black Tower Council.

Xia Zhengrong was cultivating in the training when a nervous voice rang out.

"Tower Master, the Evil Sky Pavilion's flying chariot is here!"

The 3,000 Dao inscriptions on the black tower had been destroyed by Lu Zhou with just a move. The psychological trauma from that incident had yet to disappear.

However, Xia Zhengrong remained calm. He said tonelessly, "I'm not going to see them."

"This… I'm afraid this won't do."

"Why?" Xia Zhengrong frowned.

"They, they've already entered the barrier."

Xia Zhengrong flashed and arrived outside the training hall in just a second. He frowned when he saw his trembling subordinates. "Follow me to take a look."

"Understood."

Xia Zhengrong and his men flew out and looked up.

The flying chariot had already breached the barrier easily.

The four elders, Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng, Hua Yuexing, and Zhao Hongfu were hovering outside the flying chariot, looking down at the Black Tower Council.

As the Tower Master of the Black Tower Council, Xia Zhengrong was naturally unhappy when he saw this. However, he suppressed his displeasure and asked, "May I know why the Evil Sky Pavilion came to the Black Tower Council?"

Pan Zhong said in a clear voice, "The Pavilion Master has come in person. Left Envoy Yan, Left Envoy Lu, Guardian Shen, and Guardian Li, why aren't you coming out?"

Xia Zhengrong remained unmoved. He said, "Those four are from the Black Tower Council. They don't belong to the Evil Sky Pavilion."

Pan Zhong pointed at Xia Zhengrong and said, "Impudent! Since when did the members of our Evil Sky Pavilion become members of your Black Tower Council?"

Xia Zhengrong said, "Is that so? Everyone in the black lotus domain knows they belong to the Black Tower Council. Most importantly, I've already said they belong to the Black Tower Council. I have the final say."

Pan Zhong said, 'My Pavilion Master has the final say. Tell them to come out quickly."

"Your Pavilion Master?" Xia Zhengrong remained expressionless as he thought to himself, 'Didn't your Pavilion Master die a long time ago?'

Xia Zhengrong looked at the flying chariot in the sky and cupped his fists together as he said, "In that case, please come out and have a chat, Pavilion Master Lu."

'Let's see how you're going to pretend.'

Pan Zhong said, "You're not qualified to speak to the Pavilion Master."

At the same time, a faint voice rang out. "Pan Zhong."

Pan Zhong turned around immediately. "Yes?"

These two words greatly shocked Xia Zhengrong. How could he not recognize that voice? He focused his eyes and mobilized his Primal Qi, trying to sense the cultivation of the cultivator in the flying chariot. However, soon enough, he realized his energy was bounced back.

Buzz!

Boom!

Xia Zhengrong suffered a huge backlash and was sent flying back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The cultivators of the Black Tower Council were shocked. They exclaimed in unison, "Tower Master!"

Thump!

Xia Zhengrong landed on the ground and looked at the flying chariot fearfully. He endured the pain and hurriedly kneeled on one knee. "Greetings, Pavilion Master Lu!"

Apart from shock, there was only fear in Xia Zhengrong's heart. Previously, Lu Zhou had planted a seed of fear in his heart that became the biggest obstacle on his cultivation path. Before he could even resolve that problem, Lu Zhou appeared again.

Lu Zhou, who was in the flying chariot, did not directly speak to Xia Zhengrong. Instead, he said to Pan Zhong, "Pan Zhong, my time and patience are limited."

Pan Zhong nodded. "I'll deal with it immediately."

Pan Zhong leaped off the flying chariot and landed in front of Xia Zhengrong. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "If you don't want to die, you should know what to do."

Pan Zhong thought to himself, 'Mr. Fourth's method is still the most useful!'

Xia Zhengrong waved his hand immediately and said, "Go! Bring them here."

Pan Zhong nodded before he asked, "Tower Master Xia, how have they been recently?"

Xia Zhengrong said, "The Black Tower Council has been in decline since the Great Demotion Incident. We're lacking manpower. They're all top-notch talents; how could I mistreat them?"

"That's good," Pan Zhong said, "Pavilion Master said that if they'd been wronged, you'll be punished."

Before long, Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Shen Xi, and Li Xiaomo appeared. They were confused when they saw the flying chariot.

Pan Zhong greeted them and said, "The Pavilion Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"It… It's really the Pavilion Master?"

"Are you joking?"

Pan Zhong only said, "You'll know whether I'm joking or not once you go up."

The four of them ignored Xia Zhengrong and flew into the flying chariot and landed on the deck. When they saw Lu Zhou in the cabin, they fell to one knee.

Lu Li's reaction was the biggest when he saw Lu Zhou. How could he not be happy to see his ancestor?

"Pavilion Master Lu!"

"No need for formalities," Lu Zhou said tonelessly.

The four of them rose to their feet. It had been a long time since they heard this familiar voice. If it were not Lu Zhou, who could it be?

At this moment, Lu Zhou called out, "Xia Zhengrong."

"Y-yes…"

"Disband the Black Tower Council now," Lu Zhou said.

"..."

Pan Zhong only looked at Xia Zhengrong wordlessly before he flew back into the flying chariot.

Everyone in the flying chariot no longer paid attention to what was happening below.

Then, the flying chariot flew away.

There was no need to waste words when one had absolute strength.

As for what Xia Zhengrong decided to do, it was his business as long as he could accept the consequences.

The flying chariot flew in the sky, easily bypassing the 3,000 Dao inscriptions and the barrier.

Xia Zhengrong looked at the sky wordlessly for a long time in a daze.

"Tower Master, is he trying to scare us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Zhengrong turned around and slapped the person who spoke these words. Then, he said, "Gather all the core members of the upper tower!"

"Understood!"

…

Green lotus domain.

In the southern training hall.

Qin Renyue, who had received the news, was still in disbelief. After a while, he said, "Inform him that Pavilion Master Lu has returned!"

"Understood!"

When Qin Nainai received the news, he rushed over to the southern training hall immediately. When he saw Qin Renyue, he asked directly, "Venerable Master Qin, is Pavilion Master Lu really back?"

Qin Renyue nodded. "Yes. That's what the letter said, but the truth has yet to be determined. I wasn't at the southern training hall yesterday so I found out too late."

Qin Naihe nodded. Then, he cupped his fists at Qin Renyue and said, "Venerable Master Qin, I…"

Qin Renyue waved his hand and interjected, "I know what you want to say. No matter what, you were once a disciple of the Qin clan. The Evil Sky Pavilion and the Qin clan are tied to the same rope. Go."

Qin Naihe kneeled and bowed.

Upon seeing this, Qin Renyue hurriedly lifted Qin Naihe up. "Your current cultivation is already slightly higher than mine. Your future is limitless. There's no need for you to kneel to me."

"There's a hierarchy between the elders and the juniors. How can I mess it up?" Qin Naihe said with a smile.

The more Qin Naihe acted like that, the more Qin Renyue felt like he was a bast*rd in the past. If he had only taken Qin Naihe's opinion into consideration back then, the Qin clan would not have ended up in this situation. But then again, it was not completely a bad thing.

Just as Qin Naihe was about to leave, an illusory figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"Venerable Master Qin, how have you been?"
