My Disciples Are All Villains

Although Lu Zhou did not know much about Jie Jin'an, what he knew was enough. Jie Jin'an had helped him many times.

Moreover, in order to find the Unholy One, Jie Jin'an dove into the abyss fearlessly alone, causing him to lose his cultivation due to the backlash from the power of the abyss. What kind of friend would risk his or her life like that?

Lu Zhou said, "Jie Jin'an, you've stayed in the Great Abyss Land for long enough. You can leave now."

Emperor Yu said tentatively, "Jie Jin'an is a talent and a core figure in the Great Abyss Land. He knows the working of the Great Abyss Land very well. Can't he stay?"

Not only did Jie Jin'an know the Great Abyss Land, but he also knew how deep the abyss was and how strong its power was.

In the entire Great Abyss Land and its territory, Jie Jin'an was the only one who had been into the abyss and returned alive.

"Are you worthy?" Lu Zhou asked.

Emperor Yu: "..."

Lu Zhou pointed at Jie Jin'an and asked, "Do you know about Jie Jin'an?"

Emperor Yu shook his head in confusion before he said, "Jie Jin'an was originally from the Great Void, and his cultivation is unpredictable. He didn't like the life in the Great Void so he offered his service and stayed in the Great Abyss Land. Although he's just a Dao Saint, he has made many contributions to the Feather tribe. I've always thought highly of him."

Lu Zhou asked with a hint of disapproval, "Then do you know me?"

Emperor Yu said again, "There's not a single cultivator in the world who can compare to you. As the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain in ancient times, standing at the peak of the cultivation world, you're the model and goal of humanity."

These words were rather flattering.

Emperor Yu was from the later generation. His understanding of the Unholy One was mostly negative, unlike the older generations that experienced the land split and knew the past.

Lu Zhou said, "Like me, he witnessed the rise and fall of humanity throughout the passage of time…"

"..."

Emperor Yu was stunned by this revelation. In his opinion, Jie Jin'an was just a talented, capable, and reliable human cultivator who contributed to the Feather tribe and the Great Abyss Land. He really did not expect Jie Jin'an to be someone from the same generation as the Unholy One.

The elders were shocked as well. They looked at the ordinary old man again. Although he looked old, it was hard to imagine that he had lived for such a long time.

Now that his origin was exposed, Jie Jin'an only sighed. Then, he looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile, "You still remember."

Emperor Yu, who was still surprised, did not say anything. It must be known that he had ordered Jie Jin'an like a dog many times in the past. Moreover, Jie Jin'an also did not complain or disobey him. He could not help but feel worried now when he thought about his past treatment of Jie Jin'an.

Jie Jin'an's eyes shone with nostalgia as he said with a hint of melancholy, "Back then, the three of us went through countless years together and witnessed the creation of the cultivation world and civilization. From glory to decline, we've seen everything. So what if you're a Saint, Dao Saint, or supreme being? It doesn't matter in the long river of time…"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Lu Zhou asked skeptically.

Jie Jin'an sighed. "I've lived long enough. Sometimes I want to continue living, sometimes I want to die. Otherwise, why would I go into the abyss? Could the Feather tribe force me to go into the abyss if I was unwilling?"

"..."

Although Emperor Yu did not know how powerful Jie Jin'an was, based on Jie Jin'an's valiant words, he could sense Jie Jin'an's former glory and power. Jie Jin'an's aura was also that of someone who stood at the peak and dominated the world. The Jie Jin'an now was completely different from the Jie Jin'an whom he was familiar with.

"Do you want to stay in the Great Abyss Land?" Lu Zhou asked.

"Anywhere is fine with me," Jie Jin'an said with a smile, "Now that you're back, I feel like I've lost my goal. I feel empty."

"Then, I'll find you a goal. Why don't you join the Evil Sky Pavilion?" Lu Zhou asked.

Jie Jin'an said, feigning reluctance, "It's not so easy to recruit me. I'm very valuable. Emperor Yu has treated me well. I enjoy myself here, and no one dares to bully me."

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Yu nodded and said, "Brother Jie is right."

Emperor Yu even switched the way he addressed Jie Jin'an to Brother Jie.

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "If you joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, I can give you whatever you want."

"Really?" Jie Jin'an asked.

"I'm a man of my word."

"Then, I want to be the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion. How about it?" Jie Jin'an said with a grin on his face.

Emperor Yu: "?"

Jie Jin'an should be the first person since ancient times who dared to speak to the Unholy One in such a manner, right?

To Emperor Yu's surprise, Lu Zhou did not get angry at all. Instead, he said, "If you're willing, I don't see what's wrong with letting you become the pavilion master."

"Forget it, forget it. I was just joking. Being the pavilion master is tiring. I like being free like an ordinary person. It's fine as long as there's wine and meat," Jie Jin'an said.

"We have enough," Lu Zhou said.

"Deal!" Jie Jin'an said very straightforwardly. Immediately after that, he asked, "Don't you want me to do anything in exchange?"

Lu Zhou said, "The Evil Sky Pavilion will support you in your old age and send you off when you die…"

"Bah, bah, bah! Although I've lived for a long time, I don't want to die yet," Jie Jin'an said.

The Feather tribesmen did not dare to interrupt the duo's conversation.

After a while, Emperor Yu finally said, "If Brother Jie wants to leave, I naturally won't keep you. If you want to return in the future, the door of the Feather tribe will always be open to you."

Emperor Yu was feeling very regretful at this moment. He had such a person by his side, but he failed to seize the chance and speak to such a person properly. It was too late to say anything now.

Lu Zhou nodded. "Emperor Yu, I'll put your matter aside for now. I'll give you time to find the mastermind."

"Thank you."

"There's another reason I came to the Great Abyss Land," Lu Zhou said.

"Please speak."

"Where's the Raindragon, Ying Long?" Lu Zhou asked.

Upon hearing this question, the expressions of the Feather tribesmen changed drastically.

Emperor Yu asked, "What Ying Long? I don't know."

Lu Zhou ignored Emperor Yu's pretense and asked, "What method did you use to make the mighty Ying Long protect the Great Abyss Land for you?"

"..."

Emperor Yu was speechless.

Jie Jin'an said, "Emperor Yu, you better confess. Lies won't work in front of Brother Lu."

After a moment, Emperor Yu said, "I promised to let it absorb the power of the abyss."

"Absorb the power of the abyss?"

Emperor Yu said truthfully, "It was heavily injured back then. Coupled with the shackles of heaven and earth, its cultivation was greatly weakened. It could only recover by absorbing the power of the abyss. In exchange, it promised to help me protect the Great Abyss Land and the pillar. Moreover, it's not beneficial to it as well if the sky falls."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. "It's just as I thought."

After saying that, Lu Zhou walked out of the hall without another word.

Stunned, Emperor Yu asked, "Pavilion Master Lu, where are you going?"

"To see Ying Long…"

"..."

The elders wanted to stop Lu Zhou, but his aura made them take a step back when he walked past them. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Jie Jin'an and Emperor Yu hurried after Lu Zhou immediately.

Lu Zhou flew toward the horizon and the duo followed closely behind.

At the same time, Feather tribesmen appeared in the sky one after another. Before they could stop to question Lu Zhou, Emperor Yu waved his hand and said, "All of you, leave."

"Understood."

Stopping the Unholy One was no different from seeking death.

The trio flew up along the Great Abyss Land's Pillar of Destruction. When they were right below the dark fog, they looked up and saw the immense creature swimming back and forth in the fog.

Lu Zhou called out, "Ying Long."

Rumble!

A thunderous rang from the fog.

The slightest movement from Ying Long in the fog could cause a huge commotion.

The fierce beast within a radius of 300 miles fled immediately with just slight movement from it.

Lu Zhou recited the mantra of the Heavenly Writing power, and his eyes glowed blue. Then, he said, "Ying Long, I've come to see you."

Lu Zhou's blue eyes swept back and forth, sweeping past the body of the enormous creature in the fog. He saw Ying Long's body that was mottled like a dark stone wall. Its body was so long that it was impossible to guess its length. Its head could not be seen at all.

Boom!

Another thunderous sound rang out.

It was rumored that dragons had the ability to summon wind and rain.

Soon enough, a fierce wind began to rage in the fog. Then, a rainstorm fell on the Great Abyss Land.

The torrential rain evaporated when it touched the protective energies of Lu Zhou, Jie Jin'an, and Emperor Yu.

Lu Zhou flew up again, entering the fog.

Emperor Yu frowned. He did not know what the Unholy One was going to do so he could only follow.

Lu Zhou said, "If you don't come out now, I'll pull out your tendons…"

As soon as Lu Zhou's voice fell, the divine mark robe fluttered in the wind before the ancient Dragon Soul roared; its roar resounded throughout the Great Abyss Land.

Countless Three-headed tribesmen raised their heads to look at the sky. Their eyes were filled with reverence as they prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowing continuously.

Ying Long moved. Its body spun upward, stirring up the wind and clouds. Then, its immense body began to shrink before it turned into a vague figure in the fog. Its hoarse voice trembled in anger and unwillingness as it said, "It's you again!"
