My Disciples Are All Villains

When Fei Dan heard the word 'Freeze', he felt his soul tremble as his expression turned to one of fear.

The Hourglass of Time stood in the center as blue electric arcs swept out. The entire Fragrant Valley was illuminated with a blue light in just an instant.

The flowers, the trees, the mountains, the rivers, and the fierce beasts froze in place.

Lu Zhou's first target was Fei Dan. Since Fei Dan was a divine king, he should be the first to break free from the effect of the Hourglass of Time.

As time stood still, Lu Zhou flashed and arrived in front of Fei Dan whose expression of fear was frozen on his face. He lifted his hand, and Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared.

Swoosh!

Unnamed tore through space.

Just one move was enough.

When time flowed again, Lu Zhou retrieved the Hourglass of Time.

No one saw what happened. What they saw was only the outcome; they saw Fei Dan in the air with a bloody hole on his chest.

Fresh blood gushed out of the hole relentlessly.

The injured Feather tribesmen looked at their general with horrified expressions on their faces. The Victorious General was actually injured.

"General!"

The Feather tribesmen flew over from all directions toward Fei Dan.

However, Fei Dan raised his hand, stopping them from approaching.

The Feather tribesmen looked at Fei Dan in confusion, not knowing why he stopped them.

The battle paused.

Fei Dan slowly turned to look at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou's appearance had returned to normal. His eyes were no longer blue, and there were no blue electric arcs. However, his dignified and majestic bearing was still there, displaying his inviolable status.

Fei Dan chuckled. At this moment, all his arrogance had left him. He asked respectfully, "You… Why are you here?"

"???"

The Feather tribesmen were even more confused.

Lu Zhou asked calmly, "Did Emperor Yu send you here?"

Fei Dan tapped on his acupoints to stop the blood from flowing. Then, with an expression that looked as though he did not know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his head and said, "Emperor Yu led the Feather tribe to guard the Great Abyss Land. Over the past 100,000 years, nothing has gone wrong. After the collapse of Dunzang's Pillar of Destruction, the Great Abyss Land and the Great Void were very concerned about the changes of the earth. Earlier, I sensed the obvious tremors in Fragrant Valley so I came to have a look. However, you…"

Fei Dan felt extremely regretful. If he knew the Unholy One was here, he would not have come even if he was beaten to death. Unfortunately, there was no cure for regret.

Lu Zhou said, "I'll seek an explanation from Emperor Yu."

Fei Dan asked with a worried expression, "Can you please show mercy and let us go? I didn't mean to offend you."

Fei Dan knew of the glories of the person in front of him. The other party was the powerhouse who once dominated the Great Void. How could he, a mere divine king, compare to the other party? He was like the light from a firefly while the other party was the moon itself.

The other Feather tribesmen were stunned by their general's sudden humble attitude.

Lu Zhou glanced at the Qin Yuan before he turned to look at Fei Dan expressionlessly and said, "The Qin Yuan hive is one of my people. How can I show you mercy?"

Fei Dan's heart trembled as he looked at the Qin Yuan. He thought to himself, 'Since when did the Qin Yuan hive find such a powerful supporter? This is bad.'

After thinking for a moment, Fei Dan said, "I'm willing to sincerely apologize to the Qin Yuan hive." Then, he turned around and said seriously, "I apologize for my words and actions earlier."

At this time, someone muttered, just loud enough for everyone to hear, "If apologies were useful, what's the point of being strong?"

"..."

Fei Dan began to panic.

Lu Zhou continued to stare at Fei Dan unblinkingly. He had killed quite a number of Feather tribesmen earlier, but alas, he was not rewarded with merit points. This was likely due to the upgrade of the system so the Feather tribesmen were no longer considered worthy of rewards. Regardless, how could he easily let Fei Dan go? He was not a benevolent person. How could he let Fei Dan go just because of a few words of apology?

Finally, Lu Zhou asked, "You want me to spare you?"

Fei Dan bowed again and said respectfully, "Yes, please show mercy!"

"I have three conditions," Lu Zhou said.

"Please speak," Fei Dan hurriedly said now that he saw a ray of hope.

Lu Zhou said, "First, hand over your divine soul pearl. Second, you and the other Feather tribesmen have to stay here; you're not allowed to leave. Third, clean up this mess and restore Fragrant Valley to what it was before."

Then, before Fei Dan could speak, Lu Zhou added, "After that, I'll go to the Great Abyss Land to demand an explanation from Emperor Yu."

Fei Dan: "..."

To put it bluntly, the three conditions were to strip him of his cultivation and to make him a slave!

Fei Dan felt suffocated; it was extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Fei Dan's hesitation, Lu Zhou asked, "You're not willing?"

Fei Dan was startled and hastily said, "I agree, I agree!"

"General!"

The Feather tribesmen cried out.

"Why?!"

They could not understand why Fei Dan would agree to the ridiculous conditions.

"Shut up!" Fei Dan bellowed, enduring the pain.

At this time, Lu Zhou flew higher up into the sky and said word by word, "Since your cultivations are quite high, I'll restrain your cultivations for now to prevent trouble."

"Huh???"

The Feather tribesmen looked up.

Buzz!

Lu Zhou manifested his avatar.

No one could guess the height of the avatar. More than half of the avatar towered above the clouds. However, they could see the lotus. The lotus seat had a diameter of almost 1,000 feet, and 14 leaves were spinning around it.

"14 leaves!"

Each of the leaves was suffused with blue light, and the lotus seemed powerful enough to cover the sky.

At this time, the avatar raised its hand. A palm seal with a golden shining script for 'Bind' appeared.

It was the Taoist's Binding Seal.

Before the Feather tribesmen could escape, the huge binding seal had already landed on them. Their Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Primal Qi were immediately restrained.

Fei Dan instinctively resisted the binding force, but its force was beyond his expectations. In order to save his life, he gave up resisting.

Bang!

Fei Dan's divine soul pearl flew out in the sky.

Meanwhile, the Qin Yuan was so excited that she could not speak when she saw the 14 leaves.

On the other hand, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion and the disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain wore blank expressions on their faces.

Buzz!

The avatar disappeared.

Lu Zhou hovered in the air as he looked at the divine soul pearl in his hand. He thought to himself, 'As expected of a lesser divine king's divine soul pearl.'

After putting away the divine soul pearl, Lu Zhou looked down and said to the others, "Rest for now. After three days, we'll leave for the Great Abyss Land."

Fei Dan: "..."

Everyone bowed. "Yes!"

Then, the Qin Yuan added, "I swear to follow… Pavilion Master Lu forever!"

The Qin Yuan had to forcefully swallow the words 'Unholy One'. She thought to herself, 'He's Pavilion Master Lu. He's Pavilion Master Lu. He's Pavilion Master Lu.'

Important things had to be said thrice, after all.

Following that, the Qin Yuan flew toward her daughter.

At this time, the Qin Yuan's daughter coughed lightly. She had truly come back to life!

'Bringing the dead back to life is the biggest act of defiance against the heavens, but the Unholy One had done it!' the Qin Yuan thought to herself in awe.

The Qin Yuan looked at her daughter, who was in a daze, as she recalled the past. Then, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears as she hugged her daughter.

Everyone sighed emotionally.

After landing on the ground, Fei Dan's expression was filled with shock and disbelief when he saw this scene. When he looked around, he discovered Lu Zhou had disappeared. He muttered to himself, "The Unholy One has returned…"

Fei Dan staggered backward just like the other Feather tribesmen before he sat limply on the ground.

The Feather tribesmen whose cultivation had been bound were like the old and weak. They felt dizzy and uncomfortable, swaying left and right.
