My Disciples Are All Villains

Wen Ruqing and Guan Jiu looked outside of the hall in unison with expressions of dismay on their faces.

"The news spread really fast," Wen Ruqing said.

"If it's really as you said… then this is too terrifying," Guan Jiu said. He was very unwilling to believe Wen Ruqing's words.

Wen Ruqing said, "Let's go to the main hall later. Let's go to Nine Peaks Mountain first."

Nine Peaks Mountain was where the nine-winged divine dragon lived.

Wen Ruqing and Guan Jiu flashed outside the hall.

"Please report to His Majesty that we'll be there soon."

"Understood," the Templar said before leaving.

Guan Jiu and Wen Ruqing looked at each other before they flashed away.

…

Nine Peaks Mountain.

The nine peaks were protected by the nine wings of the nine-winged divine dragon. They also protect the Sacred Temple from the wind and rain.

The nine-winged divine dragon was a creature left over from ancient times. It was one of the rare and few Saint slayers that were not intelligent. This was also the reason that humans were able to control it.

There Sacred Temple had many fierce beasts, and among them, there were divine beasts and Saint slayers. The beast tamers were naturally in charge of taming and keeping the beasts under control. After the fall of Yue Yangzi, the Templars were given control over Nine Peaks Mountain.

Previously, Xi Zhong was one of the people in charge of Nine Peaks Mountain, and he also listened to Hua Zhenghong's orders.

Today, there were no wings protecting the Nine Peaks Mountain. It was empty.

At this moment, the nine-winged divine dragon was crouching in a valley next to the Nine Peaks Mountain. It looked too frightened to move.

When Guan Jiu and Wen Ruqing appeared, Wen Ruqing descended like a feather in front of the nine-winged divine dragon. He called out in a deep voice, "Nine-winged divine dragon."

The nine-winged divine dragon opened its eyes that were like dark bottomless abysses.

"Supremes?"

The nine-winged divine dragon's voice was like that of an old man. It was weak and lacked confidence.

Wen Ruqing asked bluntly, "You went to the eastern Endless Ocean with Lady Hua, right? Everyone is dead. Who did it?"

When the nine-winged divine dragon that finally calmed down heard Wen Ruqing's words, the terrible memory from today returned to it again. Its voice trembled as it said, "G-great… Great Void… Token…"

Wen Ruqing frowned. "The Great Void Token was originally in Zui Can's hand. Why did it appear in the eastern Endless Ocean?"

The Great Void Token originally belonged to the ruler of the fierce beasts. In ancient times, when humans were still in their primitive state, the fierce beasts' lives were glorious. They ruled the lands. It was the fierce beasts' most glorious time. Their ruler was what the human called a dragon.

There were many kinds of dragons, and the ruler of the dragon clan at that time was called Zhu Zhao. According to history written by humans, Zhu Zhao was praised as the god of the universe that nourished all living things. The Great Void Token was Zhu Zhao's belongings. It was said that at the end of its reign, Zhu Zhao turned into the blazing sun in the sky to illuminate the world.

Hence, the Great Void Token was something that all fierce beasts respected.

The nine-winged divine dragon replied in a low voice, "It's, it's him… It's him…"

"Who?" Wen Ruqing asked.

"Un… Un… Un…"

"Unholy One?" Wen Ruqing asked.

The nine-winged divine dragon nodded as it said tremblingly, "Too terrifying. He's the only human who can control such power! H-he, he's back!"

Wen Ruqing and Guan Jiu's hearts trembled. Their eyes flashed with shock and nervousness.

Wen Ruqing continued to ask, "Are you sure? You'll have to pay a heavy price if you lie."

The nine-winged divine dragon's words were too unbelievable. The duo refused to accept it. It was just like how Hua Zhenghong refused to accept it when she saw Lu Zhou, who had entered the Unholy One's state. They had all planned and participated in annihilating the Unholy One. They had seen the Unholy One fall into the abyss with their own eyes. It was not possible for him to come back to life.

The nine-winged divine dragon's voice continued to tremble as it said, "L-look…"

The nine-winged divine dragon's eyes flashed twice before a mysterious energy surged out of its eyes.

Wen Ruqing and Guan Jiu seemed to have been pulled into a dark world filled with stars before they saw a battle above the Endless Ocean. They saw a figure whose hair fluttered in the wind as blue electric arcs flashed on his body. His blue eyes looked at the sea and seemed like they could look into one's soul. The divine mark robe fluttered in the wind as the blue lotus spun quickly.

Although the scene only lasted for a few seconds, it thoroughly shocked Wen Ruqing and Guan Jiu.

"Teacher?!"

The duo broke free from the nine-winged divine dragon's power. Their hearts raced wildly in their chests, and even breathing became difficult.

The nine-winged divine dragon remained silent. What it had shown the duo spoke volumes about what it had seen.

Wen Ruqing's eyes were unfocused as he stumbled back, clearly frightened. He gulped before he turned around and called out, "G-guan… Jiu…"

"This, how's this possible?!" Guan Jiu said loudly, filled with disbelief.

Wen Ruqing hurriedly said in a hushed voice, "Calm down! You have to calm down!"

Guan Jiu said, agitated, "Calm down?! How can I calm down?!"

Wen Ruqing said loudly, "Then, what are you going to do? Don't tell me you're going to look for him now?"

"I…"

"If he really came back to life, we can confirm two things. One, he has mastered the resurrection technique. Two, he's yet to regain his strength so he's no match for the Great Emperor. Otherwise, he would've already slaughtered his way into the Sacred Temple," Wen Ruqing said.
