My Disciples Are All Villains

From the beginning, Ye Zhen had never paid attention to Nie Qingyun. Perhaps, it was more apt to say he did not think much of Nie Qing Yun. He shook his head and said, "You're nothing but a fool who's blindly led by personal desires. I've overestimated you..."

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "You're too young, after all."

In the next second, Lu Zhou disappeared from sight.

As a Ten-leaf cultivator, Sikong Beichen stood before the others and said gruffly, "Stay close to me, everyone."

Without another word, Ye Zhen sped backward. "Now!"

With that order, the cultivators hiding in the horizon swarmed over in hordes.

In the next second, Lu Zhou appeared before Ye Zhen. He raised his wizened palm calmly. "I'd like to see how many lives you have..." His fingers shone blue. The words of Abandon Wisdom hung between his fingers.

The scripts were dazzling.

"A blue seal? Ye Zhen was frightened. He quickly raised his arms to defend himself.

Bam!

The palm seal landed heavily on Ye Zhen's arms. He felt as though he had been hit with a sledgehammer as he flipped backward in the air.

The others exclaimed in shock.

Similarly, a shocked expression could be seen on Nie Qingyun's face as well.

"Uh..."

The Cloud Mountain Mirror had clearly revealed the old man to be a Nine-leaf golden lotus cultivator. How could he easily defeat his enemies over and over again?

At this moment, the four elders flew toward the cloud platform.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Pandemonium descended on the place immediately.

It seemed like the internal conflict on Cloud Mountain was at its peak as well.

The disciples of the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain did not know who was friend or foe. All they saw was their own people fighting each other.

Sikong Beichen said, "Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, the back."

"Alright." Lu Zhou's first and second disciple swiftly moved to the rear and manifested their avatars.

Whizz!

Whizz!

Two Nine-leaf avatars attempted to send the Cloud Mountain disciples flying.

"Yao Qingquan, Zhao Jianghe, the sides."

"Understood!" The two First Seats swiftly moved into their positions as well and manifested their avatars.

Whizz!

Whizz!

Two Nine-leaf red lotus avatars guarded the flanks.

Sikong Beichen stood alone in front. He looked at Nie Qingyun and said, "Nie Qingyun, I won't strike when you're down, but you better play clean as well. If you have time, you should deal with this mess."

Although Nie Qingyun had asked for Sikong Beichen's support earlier, the conflicts between their two sects were not created overnight. It was not something that could be resolved with just a few words. If Nie Qingyun suddenly turned on them and used the Grand Cloud Mountain Formation, the situation would not be good. It was important to be on guard.

Nie Qingyun cupped his fists at Sikong Beichen. "You have my thanks. I'll repay you with gratitude." For him, not striking while he was troubled was the best help there was.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhen was thoroughly shocked when Lu Zhou sent him flying with just a palm strike. He stabilized his body and lowered his altitude. He asked with a frown, "You're not a Nine-leaf cultivator?"

"That's not important. The important thing is, on this day next year, it will be the anniversary of your death. Young man, you're too green." Lu Zhou moved swiftly again. He raised his hand that was glowing blue, unleashing another Abandon Wisdom.

Ye Zhen said coldly, "You old geezer. We still don't know who will have the last laugh!"

Whizz!

Ye Zhen's avatar appeared. The Nine Infants glowed red. The avatar with six raised heads advanced toward Lu Zhou.

Seeing One's Nature.

Buddhist Dhyana Mudra.

Radiant rings appeared around Lu Zhou. Golden flames surged around the shining golden dhyana mudras.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Zhen's avatar collided with Lu Zhou's Dhyana Mudra, creating ripples on its surface.

"Karmic power! Buddhist Dhyana Mudra?" Sikong Beichen felt emotional when he witnessed this scene. "So it's true that Brother Lu has mastered the techniques from all sects."

At this moment, many cultivators were flying in from all sides.

"The cultivators from the Flying Star House and the Sky Martial Court are here!" Nie Qingyun said angrily, "Cloud Mountain disciples, gather above the rock tower. Those who refuse to follow the orders will be treated as enemies." His voice rang throughout the cloud platform.

About 6,000 disciples took flight at the same time toward the rock tower.

Only five elders flew over.

Nie Qingyun knew it was imperative he remained calm.

The remaining elders and disciples were clearly staunch supporters of Ye Zhen.

Nie Qingyun found this acceptable. At the very least, many had come to their senses after seeing the Nine Infants.

"Sect Master!"

The others landed behind Nie Qingyun.

Without saying another word, Nie Qingyun raised his hand toward the sky.

A radiant circle covered everyone as numerous seals dropped down.

"Nobody will leave this place!"

On the cloud platform's plaza, many cultivators soon lost their targets.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou only had one target: Ye Zhen.

The Dhyana Mudras faded away.

Lu Zhou was in no hurry as he stepped forward.

Nie Qingyun had done well. The people were now clearly divided into friend and foe. The place was no longer as chaotic.

At this moment, Lu Zhou was the only one who was deep within the enemies' ranks.

"The Sky Martial Court is here. All those who resist shall die!" An armored cultivator who wielded a trident looked down at the cloud platform from above.

"The Flying Star House is here. Those who follow us will prosper while those who stand against us will perish!"

All in all, there were about 5,000 cultivators from both sides.

In any case, Lu Zhou behaved as though he did not hear anything. He continued advancing, and his eyes were firmly trained on Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen retreated as he fought. He could see the killing intent in Lu Zhou's eyes. Moreover, it was clear the old man was confident about killing him. As he tossed out dozens of script seals, he said, "Old geezer, why are you trying to resist now that you're surrounded?"

The red Confucian script seals unleashed a shocking blast of Expansive Heavenly Energy.

Lu Zhou remained calm. He stroked his beard while his other hand was extended outward. He pushed his palm forward...

Abandon Wisdom!

The palm seal that was much larger than the one before sailed toward Ye Zhen.

"Do you think that the same trick will work on me twice? You're too naïve." Ye Zhen suddenly withdrew his avatar. He pushed his palms forward. Binding seals appeared on his palms, trying to bind Abandon Wisdom. However, when Abandon Wisdom was upon him, it suddenly grew to the height of a man.

Bam!

Ye Zhen spat out blood and slid backward. Two trenches could be seen under his feet.

Lu Zhou stepped forward. "Young man, I've crossed more bridges than the grains of rice you've eaten..."

Fear tightened its grip around Ye Zhen's heart. 'How is this possible? Not even Ten-leaf cultivators can easily repel my Nine Infants avatar!'

"Enough!"

Several individuals flew over from the Sky Martial Court's phalanx. One of them dove with a trident in hand. "I'm the Sky Martial Court's chief instructor, Chen Fangluo!"

When the Sky Martial Court's members flew in the air, their formation clearly changed.

The tips of Chen Fangluo's trident shone with black runes.

"Brother Lu, look out! That's a desolate-grade weapon!"

Lu Zhou's eyes were still trained on Ye Zhen. He did not even blink. When he sensed the incoming trident, he waved his left arm. He activated the Thunderblast Card.

In just an instant, it seemed like a bolt of lightning from the ninth heaven struck down.

Rumble!

It struck Cheng Fangluo with deadly precision.

Cheng Fangluo's forceful attack was easily repelled by Lu Zhou.

When he recoiled, he bumped into his comrades, effectively breaking their formation.

Sikong Beichen, Nie Qingyun, and the others. "..."

'That's it?'

Lu Zhou did not even look at the thousands of cultivators who were flying toward him from the sides. He said, "Who else dares meddle in my business?"

The cultivators were stunned.

Ye Zhen's heart sank, and his fingers trembled. 'Is this the power of a Birth Chart? No, this isn't how Birth Charts work. It can't be!'

Ye Zheng joined his palms together. Numerous paper talismans flew out and swiftly wrapped around him.

This reminded Lu Zhou of Liu Ge. Liu Ge's method of immortality originated from the red lotus domain. He was not surprised to see a similar technique here.

Ye Zhen suddenly planted his feet on the ground. The talismans between his palms were ignited as he shot toward Lu Zhou.

The talismans circled and coiled around him like a long dragon.

"Forget it. It's time to let you see my true strength," Ye Zhen said gruffly.
