My Disciples Are All Villains

"It's all due to luck; it's not worth mentioning," Yu Shangrong was aware the path of cultivation was still long.

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "You can take the runic passage to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion this time. You can look for Ning Wanqing for this matter."

Ning Wanqing had appeared in the golden lotus domain previously so there must be a runic passage there.

Before the Evil Sky Pavilion created their own runic passage, they could only borrow from others.

"Ning Wanqing is from the White Tower Council. I'm afraid he'll be unwilling…" Yu Shangrong said.

"Ning Wanqing is smart. Just look for him," Lu Zhou said.

"Understood." Yu Shangrong left the hall after he accepted his mission.

Following that, Lu Zhou asked Little Yuan'er, "Where's your Fourth Senior Brother?"

Little Yuan 'er shook her head and said, "Fourth Senior Brother has been running around all the time. I don't know either."

'Don't know?' Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he mulled over his thoughts.

After dismissing Little Yuan'er and Conch, he silently recited the incantation for the power of sight from the Heavenly Writing.

Lu Zhou felt strange when he saw the scene that appeared in front of him.

There were lush trees intertwined with vines.

They blocked his vision, and he could not see anything at all.

"..."

Lu Zhou was puzzled. What was his fourth disciple doing?

After some time had passed, there still no changes; his vision was still obscured by the vines and trees.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he pondered. After he dismissed Little Yuan 'er and the conch, he silently recited the heavenly book in his heart.

The scene in front of him made Lu Zhou feel a little strange --

Lush trees and vines piled up like mountains.

They blocked his vision and blocked his surroundings. He couldn't see anything.

Soon after, he heard the sound of snoring and barking.

Lu Zhou frowned. 'Is he sleeping while everyone's busy? Bast*rd!"

Lu Zhou shook his head and cut off the power.

Lu Zhou shook his head. He felt like he had been too lax. He did not discipline Mingshi Yin for a day, Mingshi Yin had grown audacious.

…

Meanwhile, Mingshi Yin suddenly sat up in a daze and muttered to himself groggily, "Master? Was it an auditory hallucination?"

He stretched his limbs as he surveyed his surroundings. He created an opening on the vines and said, "Doggy, don't be noisy. I'm going to continue sleeping…"

Following that, he slumped down and continued to snooze.

Meanwhile, the mountain had completely been taken over by the blue wood, vines, and trees. At the same time, a faint vitality energy was converging at the heart of the blue wood.

…

Two days later.

In the Preservation Hall.

Lu Zhou's fifth Birth Chart had stabilized. With the help of the Purple Glazed Ceramic, he should be able to embed the sixth life heart and activate his sixth Birth Chart in another month.

"Pu Yi's life heart…"

Lu Zhou could not afford to be hasty; it was better to take things slow. After all, he had sufficient resources and means.

Generally speaking, at this stage, it was very difficult to find suitable life hearts. Rudimentary and intermediate life hearts were useless now.

All of a sudden, Lu Zhou smelled the strong metallic stench of blood.

"Who is sneaking around outside the hall?" Lu Zhou frowned.

"Granddisciple wishes to meet grandmaster," Li Yunzheng said.

"Come in."

Li Yunzheng, along with the two Guardians of the Evil Sky Pavilion, entered the hall. Apart from that, two people were also being carried in on stretchers into the hall.

Li Yunzheng bowed and said, "Master, there's an incident in a city in the northern part of Shanbei Circuit. A group of black lotus cultivators has appeared, and they've been killing the innocent indiscriminately. Hundreds of people have died so far. These two were lucky to survive and were saved by local cultivators."

Meng Changdong kneeled next to the patients and checked their wounds. "Pavilion Master, their wounds are consistent…"

Shen Xi said, "That's right. There's no doubt this is the work of the Dark and Light Alliance."

"Do you have any evidence?" Lu Zhou asked.

"It's not the first time the Dark and Light Alliance has done this. I dare say they'll return even fiercer next time. They would kill to silence before destroying the evidence. 1,500 years ago, they relied on this method to gain a foothold. They took advantage of the conflicts between the major forces and were certain they wouldn't be targeted by the major forces. After tasting the sweetness, they became even more rampant."

The two people were so badly mutilated and could not even speak clearly.

Lu Zhou waved his sleeves and Li Yunzheng ordered his men to carry the seriously injured people out.

He stroked his beard, lost in his thoughts. He was not a saint. However, this matter was caused by him. It was not without benefits for him to use this chance to strike at the Dark and Light Alliance.

What's most urgent is to increase the overall strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

"Grandmaster?"

"Speak," Lu Zhou said.

"The Dark and Light Alliance has gone too far this time. Previously, with Wu Chao's help, we managed to force them to retreat. This time, they're even more vicious. Grandmaster, please help me," Li Yunzheng said.

Li Yunzheng was different from Lu Zhou after all. He was the ruler of a country. If anything happened to the red lotus domain, the responsibility would fall on him.

Lu Zhou did not answer immediately.

At this moment, Shen Xi moved to Lu Zhou's side and said in a low voice, "Pavilion Master, with your strength and status, you can use this opportunity to attack the Dark and Light Alliance. Make them pay for what they had done and squeeze a few benefits from them."

Lu Zhou remained silent. Inwardly, he thought, 'I have the same idea as well! The problem is I really don't have 12 Birth Charts!'

"Master, please help me!" Li Yunzheng fell to his knees.

Shen Xi added, "Moreover, this can improve the image of the Evil Sky Pavilion."

'Killing three birds with one stone! However… I don't have 12 Birth Charts!'

After a moment, Lu Zhou asked, "Who's backing the Dark and Light Alliance?"

Shen Xi replied, "Pavilion Master, the Leader of the Dark and Light Alliance is Fan Ruozhi... He has 11 Birth Charts. The reason the Dark and Light Alliance could stand on almost even ground with the Black Tower Council and Great Yuan's royal court is due to their high number of members. They had gathered many sectless cultivators… Ye Liuyun was one of them…"

"Why didn't Xia Zhengrong seize the chance to take down this 11 Chart Fan Ruozhi?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.

"Great Yuan's royal court wants to keep the balance. If the Black Tower Council acts against the Dark and Light Alliance, the royal court will join forces with the Dark and Light Alliance against the Black Tower Council..."

'So the three forces are keeping each other in check…"

"Rise," Lu Zhou looked at Li Yunzheng and said, "I'll think of a way. You may leave now."

"Thank you, master." Li Yunzheng bowed and left respectfully.

Then, Lu Zhou said, "Guardian Meng, go to the Sky Research Academy and tell my seventh disciple to create the runic passage as soon as possible."

Meng Changdong said, "This shouldn't be a problem. Tower Master Xiao sent someone to deliver the blueprint yesterday."

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

"After the runic passage is done, I'll go to the black lotus domain."

"Understood."

Meng Changdong and Shen Xi respectfully left the Preservation Hall after that.

When Lu Zhou was alone again, he thought about how to deal with the Dark and Light Alliance.

He now had 500,000 merit points, one enhanced Deadly Strike Card, Impeccable Cards, and many Critical Block Cards. He was not afraid of the Dark and Light Alliance's Fan Ruozhi. Moreover, the Dark and Light Alliance is more afraid of Lu Zhou than the Black Tower Council.

However, if he intended to visit, he naturally would have to be more than absolutely certain of his victory.

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and bought an ordinary Deadly Strike Card.

"Disguise Card?"

He looked at the Disguise Card on the system interface and wondered what would happen if he synthesized it. Although it did not have much use, it was effective in intimidating others.

Moreover, his current strength was not inferior to a true 12 Chart expert.

Lu Zhou decisively bought two Disguise Cards. With the one in his possession, he had three cards. Following that, he brought out the Synthesis Card. After stacking the four cards together, he muttered under his breath, "Synthesize."

"Ding! Synthesization is a success. Obtained: Enhanced Disguise Card."

Apart from that system notification, there was no other information.

"What effect would this enhanced Disguise Card have? 36 Birth Charts?"

If that was the case, he would go to the Dark and Light Alliance and extort… no, seek justice from them!
