My Disciples Are All Villains

"Miss Ninth and Miss Tenth should be in the Great Void."

Everyone nodded.

"If that's the case, it's confirmed that Mr. Fourth isn't in the Great Void, but he's with the Scarlet Emperor."

"Where's the Scarlet Emperor?"

Everyone shook their heads.

After all, how could ordinary people know such things about people at that level?

Lu Zhou recalled the White Emperor who had given him a token when he brought his disciples to the ten Pillars of Destruction. With that, Zhao Yue and Ye Tianxin should be safe. He would go and take a look when he had the time since they should not have any problems with the White Emperor.

As for the Azure Emperor and the Scarlet Emperor, he did not know if they were friends or foes. It seemed like he would have to look for them first.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Princess Mulberry.

It was rumored that Princess Mulberry was the daughter of the Scarlet Emperor. If that was the case, Princess Mulberry should be privy to the Scarlet Emperor's whereabouts.

With that in mind, Lu Zhou said tonelessly, "Prepare to leave for Ji Ming's Pillar of Destruction."

"The Unknown Land?" Zhao Hongfu said, "The runic passage I constructed then is relatively small since I only had three days to complete it. I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate many people."

Meng Changdong said, "Then, we'll go in groups."

Everyone nodded.

"When do we set off?"

At this moment, the Qin Yuan stepped forward along with the others from her hive. They kneeled one after another before she said, "Pavilion Master, please allow the Qin Yuan hive to follow you."

Lu Zhou recalled his promise to the Qin Yuan back then and said, "I once promised you that I'll resurrect your daughter. Where's she now?"

Everyone revealed an expression of surprise upon hearing this. Was there really a way to bring the dead back to life?

The Qin Yuan said excitedly, "I'll bring her here now."

Without another word, the Qin Yuan brought a few of her subordinates with her and flew out of the ancient building. Not long after, they carried an unconscious girl back into the building.

Based on her appearance, she was not that old. She looked like an ordinary female who was about 28 years old. Her body and face were pale, and she had no vitality energy. In fact, a very strong aura of death shrouded her. Nonetheless, she was very well preserved.

The Qin Yuan said, "Back then, I used the Immutable Sea Pearl to prevent her body from rotting. That's why she's so well preserved."

Although everyone had seen and experienced a lot, when they saw the woman, they still felt pity.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou. It was all up to him now. However, all of them were doubtful. Was there truly a way to bring the dead back to life? Theoretically, it should be possible. After all, there was Yu Zhenghai, who was from the Wu Qi clan, as an example. Perhaps, if one could unravel the secrets of Yu Zhenghai's body, one would be able to find a way to resurrect the dead? Another example was the Fire Phoenix that was reborn through the fire. The methods and powers might be different, but their essence was the same; they could be resurrected.

Cultivators had always firmly believed that it was impossible to live forever. They would die of old age eventually; this was true death or natural death. This was the shackle that had not been broken until now.

Lu Zhou stood at the side and thought for a while.

'Can the Resurrection Scroll bring the dead back to life?'

The last time Lu Zhou had used it on Si Wuya, it ended in failure. However, now that his cultivation had improved tremendously, and his blue avatar had undergone a huge qualitative change, he might be able to succeed this time.

Lu Zhou looked at the Qin Yuan and said, "You have to understand one thing. Bringing the dead back to life is a heaven-defying act. It may not work."

The Qin Yuan kneeled. "Pavilion Master Lu, at least give it a try. If it doesn't work, then it's fine. It can't be any worse than the current situation anyway."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard these words. After all, the Qin Yuan's daughter was dead, and the Qin Yuan had already been in pain for a long time; what was the worst that could happen if they gave it a try?

"Alright." Lu Zhou nodded. "Then, I'll give it a try."

Everyone tacitly retreated to the side and made way for Lu Zhou. Ever since he came out of seclusion, they had seen him in action so they had no idea what his cultivation was like now. All of them were filled with anticipation as they looked at him.

After a moment, Lu Zhou pushed his hand that was glowing out.

The young girl levitated in the air. Dressed in a long dress just like her mother, she looked like a princess who had fallen asleep. Soon enough, a faint dragon-like blue electric arc appeared on her body. It flashed back and forth and circled her twice before it surged into her body through her glabella. A blue lotus appeared immediately on her glabella before it began to flicker.

When the Qin Yuan saw the blue lotus, she grew even more excited. In the entire world, only the Unholy One possessed and could control the blue lotus. In the entire world, only the Unholy One could break the shackles of heaven and earth. The Unholy One was her only hope of reviving her daughter. Her heart pounded violently as she watched.

Lu Zhou flicked his hand, and a scroll flew out.

Everyone saw the scroll, but they could not see the content. It was as though some force was preventing them from seeing it.

Lu Zhou pushed both his hands out as a strand of his consciousness entered the scroll. Once again, he appeared in a dark and vast world where nothing existed. Just like before, the Unholy One's voice rang in his ears.

"No one can live forever!"

Lu Zhou heard these words three times.

After a moment…

"No, I refuse to accept this!"

These words contradicted the earlier words.

Lu Zhou thought it meant that the Unholy One disagreed with the words 'no one can live forever'. It also meant that the Unholy One had most likely found the way to eternal life instead of the resurrection method. Living forever was harder than bringing the dead back to life.

Lu Zhou's consciousness floated in the endless darkness. He let it wander until he saw a golden light in the distance. When his consciousness was about to reach the golden light, he was pushed back by wave-like energies. It was as though they did not want humans to get close.

At this moment, a voice rang in his ears again.

"Only by becoming a divine supreme god will I be able to get close to the merit stone! Otherwise, my body and soul will be destroyed!"

Buzz!

The golden light suddenly intensified and burst forth with golden runes, illuminating the darkness like the blazing sun.

Lu Zhou looked at the world that spanned tens of thousands of miles. It was as beautiful as a painting; it was like spring in full bloom.

However, in just a moment, darkness returned.

The light from the merit stone gradually dimmed as well as golden runes flew in all directions.

…

In the ancient building.

Everyone saw a magical scene.

They saw golden runes flying out of the Resurrection Scroll one after another. The runes were filled with vitality energy as they entered the young woman's body.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"This…"

"This is the resurrection method?"

Everyone was excited.

At this time, Fragrant Valley began to tremble.

Everyone looked at each other.

Pan Litian ordered, "Spread out and protect the Pavilion Master!"

"Understood!"

Everyone flew out and guarded eight different directions.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, the Qin Yuan hive, and the Autumn Dew Mountain's disciples were all on guard.

The ground continued to shake.

Lu Li frowned as he sighed. "Bringing the dead to life is defying heaven itself. By doing this, did we incur heaven's wrath?"
