My Disciples Are All Villains

Xiao Yunhe's actions made Nangong Yutian feel rather helpless. In the end, he said with a sneer, "I didn't expect the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council would be reduced to such a state…"

Xiao Yunhe smiled. "Young people have to make mistakes to learn. However, be careful you don't end up paying for your mistakes with your life…"

"Don't think you can intimidate me with your words..."

Xiao Yunhe did not continue warning Nangong Yutian. He only said, "Deactivate the flag formation…"

Nangong Yutian scoffed. "I've no obligation to follow your orders regardless of your identity."

Xiao Yunhe shook his head and no longer persuaded Nangong Yu Tian.

…

In a forest north of the Southern Kingdom.

A circle of light flashed before a pillar of light shot up into the sky.

Soon enough, two figures appeared above the circle of light.

"Pavilion Master, we've arrived in the red lotus domain. We're very lucky; we've been transported close to the Southern Kingdom." Shen Xi was rather proud of his control over the runic passage.

Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and sighed in admiration before he said, "Guardian Shen, don't you feel there's some mysterious force controlling everything between heaven and earth?"

Things like teleportation that only existed in movies or novels had become a reality, causing Lu Zhou to sigh emotionally. The runic passage was a pillar of light that contained a powerful force that seemed connected to all worlds.

"Many have tried to study the mysteries of heaven and earth and their shackles since ancient times. Unfortunately, there's no conclusive answer…"

The shackles of Heaven and earth have been studied by the sages since ancient times. Unfortunately, no one can figure out why."

During the journey here, Lu Zhou did not stay idle. He activated his Purple Glazed Ceramic and managed to replenish his supreme mystic power. He did not use much on Ning Wanqing earlier so he still had a lot of the supreme mystic power left.

At this moment, Lu Zhou sensed energy fluctuations from the marks he left on Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He quickly chanted the mantra for the power of sight to observe the situation.

"Xiao Yunhe?"

'This guy is really everywhere…'

Following that, Lu Zhou shifted his gaze to a white-clad cultivator riding on a white mystic bird talking to Xiao Yunhe.

"Tower Master Xiao, do you really think you can protect them?"

"I can't," Xiao Yunhe replied.

"In any case, I'm not in a hurry. Are you sure it's wise for you to stay here for so long? Your identity is special. Aren't you afraid the Black Tower Council will send someone here to investigate?"

"Do you think that I managed to survive so long because of luck?"

Nangong Yutian remained silent; he could not refute Xiao Yunhe's words after all.

With this, Lu Zhou cut off the power of sight. After sensing the distance between him and his two disciples, he called out, "Di Jiang."

Squawk!

Di Jiang moved in front of Lu Zhou.

Shen Xi, who had seen the subtle change in Lu Zhou's expression, asked, "Pavilion Master, is there an emergency?"

Lu Zhou shook his head. Then, he took the opportunity to ask, "There's no emergency. By the way, do you know Xiao Yunhe?"

Shen Xi was part of the Black Tower Council's Black Guards, how could he not know Xiao Yunhe?

"Tower Master Xiao? He's the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council and was a powerful figure in the past. I heard he violated the rules of the Black Tower Council and was dismissed by the higher-ups and the Elder Council. After that, he disappeared for some unknown reason," Shen Xi answered honestly.

Lu Zhou nodded. As it turned out, Xiao Yunhe was the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council; no wonder Xiao Yunhe had 12 Birth Charts. After a moment, he asked again, "Who's the current Tower Master?"

"Xia Zhengrong," Shen Xi replied.

"What's his cultivation base?"

"I'm not sure, but he has no fewer than 12 Birth Charts. True experts rarely use their astrolabes. Moreover, after activating six Birth Charts, the astrolabe can hide the number of Birth Charts one has activated. No one knows the exact number of Birth Charts the Tower Master possesses. Rumor has it that Xia Zhengrong is the only one who could defeat the former Tower Master. He was recommended by the Elder Council to take over the position of Tower Master…"

Lu Zhou nodded. "The Elder Council would not recommend anyone who possesses fewer than 12 Birth Charts…"

"Indeed."

Lu Zhou no longer asked about the Tower Master of the Black Tower Council. It was not time to face the Tower Master of the Black Tower Council, after all. Hence, he changed the topic and asked, "Do you know Nangong Yutian?"

"Yes, he's one of the judges of the White Tower Council. I don't know much about the other judges of the White Tower Council, but Nangong Yutian is slightly famous among those in the Black Tower Council. Back when the war between the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council was most intense, Nangong Yutian killed many cultivators from the Black Tower Council. He's famous for his insidious schemes, and he's also very cautious. After the two councils signed a peace agreement, there's no news of him. Perhaps, he already has nine or ten Birth Charts," Shen Xi replied.

Lu Zhou nodded. He did not expect that person to be so extraordinary. No wonder Xiao Yunhe could only watch from the sidelines.

Nangong Yutian was much more powerful than an Eight Chart cultivator. If there was a direct confrontation, he was not sure he could completely kill him even if he used the Deadly Strike Card. The enhanced Deadly Strike Card could only kill those with eight Birth Charts or fewer. Although he could use the Deadly Strike Card to destroy most of Nangong Yutian's Birth Charts before using his supreme mystic power to destroy the remaining Birth Charts, he felt it was a waste of his item card.

Lu Zhou sighed when he thought about the possibility of having to use his item card. After a while, he said, "Let's go."

"Understood."

Lu Zhou got on Di Jiang's back and flew up into the sky. As he controlled Di Jiang's speed, he asked, "Shen Xi, have you been to the Southern Kingdom?"

"Yes," Shen Xi replied, "The Southern Kingdom was originally without an owner. After the beast tide, the black lotus domain did a thorough clean-up of the place. Later on, Birth Chart Beasts began to appear frequently in that place so the Black Tower Council wanted control over the place. In recent years, they had set up many stone forest formations there. In fact, it's also known as the Land of Chaos because of the frequent appearances of Birth Chart Beasts in groups. It's rather strange. The Black Tower Council tried to figure out the reason for the Birth Chart Beasts' frequent appearance, but they failed to find the answer…"

Lu Zhou nodded and looked at the misty sky in front of him as he wondered inwardly, 'I wonder what secret is hidden there?'

…

In the ruins south of the Southern Kingdom.

Nangong Yutian's mountain shrieked, dispelling the silence that had settled down for a long time in the ruins.

"Xiao Yunhe, I'm very curious. The rumors in the cultivation world are that your Birth Charts are gone. Is it true?" Nangong Yutian tried probing Xiao Yunhe for information.

Xiao Yunhe said, "Do you want to see for yourself if it's true or not?"

Nangong Yutian glanced at the black-clad cultivators standing respectfully behind Xiao Yunhe. Since Xiao Yunhe could make so many people submit to him, Xiao Yunhe must have some means. With this thought in mind, he did not dare to take Xiao Yunhe up on his offer. Following that, he shifted his attention to Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong before he said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of person their master is for Tower Master Xiao to behave in such a manner…"

"If he comes, you can see for yourself…" Xiao Yunhe said. He could sense Nangong Yutian was getting restless.

"Tower Master Xiao, I just thought of something."

"What is it?"

Nangong Yutian who suddenly changed his mind said, "Everyone said that Tower Master Xiao's cultivation is unparalleled. As a junior, I'd like to exchange a few moves with you to learn from you…"

The white mystic bird flew up all of a sudden, and Nangong Yutian raised his hand without any warning, launching a palm seal toward Xiao Yunhe.

Swoosh!

Xiao Yunhe raised his hand and easily destroyed the palm seal with another palm seal. Throughout the process, he remained indifferent.

Nangong Yutian. "..."

'This old fox really came prepared… I have to think of a way to deal with him…"

Nangong Yutian was thinking of how to kill Xiao Yunhe when three black figures flew over from the north.

At the same time, a voice rang in the air.

"It's really lively today!"

Xiao Yunhe and Nangong Yutian looked up in unison.

At the same time, Wu Chao said in a hushed tone, "It's the judge, Jiang Jiuli… Should we retreat?"

After all, Xiao Yunhe and his men had left the Black Tower Council and were wanted by the Black Tower Council. If more people from the Black Tower Council came, it would be too late for them to escape.

After the three black figures landed north of the flag formation, they surveyed the surroundings for a moment. Then, one of them said with a smile, "Nangong Yutian..."

Nangong Yutian seemed slightly excited when he saw the newcomer. "As it turns out it's you, Jiang Jiuli."

Jiang Jiuli, who was dressed in a black robe, was a tall man, and his aura was not inferior to Nangong Yutian. At this moment, he said, "Your White Tower Council is really shameless. Do you plan to start a war with the Black Tower Council by setting up a flag formation here?"

Nangong Yutian laughed. "Judge Jiang, don't be angry. Before you talk to me, you should settle your family affairs first…"
