My Disciples Are All Villains

Yu Hong was taken aback. Most cultivators would try to resist, this was especially true of elites in the Nascent Divinity realm and above. They usually had the support of their sects. Therefore, the Nether Sect chose to conquer the Clarity Sect, the Righteous Sect, and other major sects. They absorbed the various elites to intimidate other grand cultivators. This way, the other grand cultivators would not dare to make rash moves. Meanwhile, in Great Yan, the Nether Sect could focus its attention on dealing with the Imperial family.

As for the cultivators they encountered during the chaos, such as these people before Yu Hong, they would usually capture them to avoid any unwanted developments in the future. When things were calmer, they would release those who were supposed to be released and kill those who should be killed. Conquering a city was a cruel undertaking, after all.

Si Wuya hatched this plan for the Nether Sect in hopes that no one would seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

Yu Hong gauged the aura of the young lady who had suddenly appeared as well. He frowned. 'Early stage Nascent Divinity realm? Why is there a Nascent Divinity realm cultivator in Liang Province?'

In the end, he said, "I'm Yu Hong, the Second Seat of Nether Sect's Azure Dragon Hall. I don't know why two of you are here in Liang Province's city, but I would ask for your kind cooperation and follow my men." He had always respected experts.

"The Nether Sect's Yu Hong?" Lu Zhou only knew about the Four Great Protectors in general. He did not take much notice of them. In his opinion, these lesser characters were not worthy of his attention, after all.

Yu Hong was not offended. He asked, "Do you not know about the Nether Sect, old mister?"

Little Yuan'er was just about to say something when Lu Zhou stopped her. 'This little girl can easily ruin things with her mouth.'

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "I know a thing or two."

Yu Hong cupped his fists to his left and said, "My sect master is the Evil Sky Pavilion's first disciple. He's also one of the rare Eight-leaf elites in the cultivation world."

The person Lu Zhou wanted to meet right now was Yu Zhenghai or Si Wuya. Before he achieved that, he could not disclose too much information about himself. After muttering to himself for a while, Lu Zhou said, "I'll go with you."

Little Yuan'er. "…" She really did not understand the thoughts in her master's mind. Was there a need for her master to do this? However, she knew her master had his reasons for everything he did. Therefore, she did not object and obediently followed Lu Zhou and stepped forward.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Lu Zhou, Little Yuan'er, and Shen Liangshou left the villa, being led by Yu Hong and his men. Meanwhile, Steward Zhou and Feng Ping who were too injured to walk were carried by ordinary sect members.

...

By afternoon, the Nether Sect had successfully conquered Liang Province's city.

Lu Zhou, Little Yuan'er, and Shen Liangshou were sent to the reserve army encampment where Liang Province usually assigned its cultivators.

Yu Hong accompanied them along the way.

At the encampment, Lu Zhou saw about 50 cultivators in and below the Brahman Sea realm.

It seemed like Lu Zhou and Little Yuan'er had the most profound cultivation bases among the people here. It was no wonder Yu Hong gave them preferential treatment.

As for Shen Liangshou, without his cultivation base, even the ordinary sect members had no trouble guarding him.

Yu Hong said to Lu Zhou, "Don't worry. I'll have to ask you to bear with this for a few days. When we've conquered all ten of Liang Province's cities, you'll be released."

Lu Zhou asked, "Can the Nether Sect conquer the City of Mo?"

Yu Hong replied with a hint of disapproval, "Why not? To tell you the truth, we have the Evil Sky Pavilion's Mister Seventh on our side. The Nether Sect will rule the world. It's only a matter of time."

"I remember that the City of Mo is guarded by the Coiling Dragon Formation. How are you going to deal with that?"

Yu Hong was taken aback. If this had happened at any other time, he would have struck the cultivator who doubted the Nether Sect. However, these two had profound cultivation bases, especially the little girl by the old man's side who seemed like an airhead but had a Nascent Divinity realm cultivation base. It was always better to appease these elites at pivotal moments such as this. So, he said with a smile, "I believe in the sect master and Mister Seventh's abilities." After he said this, he turned around and left.

The other cultivators swarmed toward Lu Zhou and Little Yuan'er after Yu Hong left. They gave Lu Zhou a thumbs-up.

"I'm impressed. You're bold enough to speak to the Second Seat of the Nether Sect's Azure Dragon Hall with that tone."

"Old mister, we're merely outsiders. Why would you ask about those things? Be careful that you're not burned by the fire as well."

"That's right… We're well-fed here. Let them fight their battles. I don't care who the world belongs to so long as I have food in my mouth."

Clearly, most of the cultivators were indifferent about this. After all, who would dare to stand up under these circumstances? Who would dare to oppose the Nether Sect?

Lu Zhou ignored these low-ranked cultivators. His goal was to capture Si Wuya and Yu Zhenghai. He could not care less about other matters. He called up the system dashboard and inspected the mission column.

Like before, apart from Ye Tianxin, Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya did not appear. The other six main missions were about instructing his disciples.

Shen Liangshou who was standing nearby said with a sour expression, "Old mister… about our agreement…"

"I've always kept my words."

"Thank you, old mister." Shen Liangshou bowed.

Lu Zhou no longer looked at him. He knew that Shen Liangshou wanted his protection by staying close to him. Now that dangers lurked in all corners of Liang Province's city, Shen Liangshou might lose his life.

…

At dusk.

A soundwave rolled across the entire camp.

"The Other Tribesmen have invaded. Those of the Nether Sect who are in or above the Brahman Sea realm, follow me." Yu Hong flew past in his avatar. His 40-foot avatar was dazzling.

The Nether Sect cultivators rose into the air immediately. They followed Yu Hong and flew toward the city walls in the north.

"Invasion from the Other Tribes?" Shen Liangshou appeared shocked.

Little Yuan'er saw the cultivators rising into the air and she clapped her hands excitedly. If this had happened in the past, she would have made a fuss about going to watch the show. She loved bustling scenes, but she was slightly anxious as well. When she remembered her master's admonishments, she immediately calmed down. Although she was a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite and the ninth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, she had never witnessed such a scene. She instinctively grabbed Lu Zhou's arm.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "There's no need to be afraid." He appeared calm, but inwardly, he mused that he should have brought Mingshi Yin along as well. The little girl was inexperienced, after all.

The others exclaimed in surprise. They pointed at the near 1,000 cultivators who were flying toward the other end of the city. It was a majestic sight to behold. The top of the city walls was already filled with cultivators.

Someone sighed. "Such is war..."

There some who sighed and some who were amazed. Those who liked to watch a good show undoubtedly enjoyed this.

…

At this moment, there were also many Nether Sect members who were running on foot in Liang Province's city. The ground shook as they ran through the streets. The general people were alarmed by this.

Whizz!

Whizz!

A huge avatar appeared at the city walls.

"A 70-foot avatar! Heavens! A Six-leaf elite!"

The avatar's height surpassed the city wall. Although the man maid city was towering and majestic, it dimmed in comparison to a 70-foot avatar.

...

"The Other Tribesmen are here!"

The others looked at the sky in the north.

Around the huge avatar, black figures were swarming around it like flies as they attacked the avatar.

The avatar was moving toward Liang Province's city.

"They're from Rouli!"

If there was a tribesman from Rouli, it was only natural for there to be someone from Lou Lan as well.

Shen Liangshou looked around himself and said, "Old mister, the Nether Sect no longer has the time to care about us. This is a great chance for us to escape."

Lu Zhou glanced at him and said nothing.

Shen Liangshou wanted to leave very badly, but in his current state, he would be cut into a million pieces if he were to try to escape on his own.

Someone said with a clear voice, "A 70-foot avatar! It must be one of the Nether Sect's Four Great Protectors. It should be either Di Qing or Yang Yan…"

"We can't see anything from here!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Some of them flew to the tops of the nearby buildings, and some flew to the treetops to watch.
