My Disciples Are All Villains

Little Yuan'er did not laugh. Perhaps, her funny bone had become immune to these situations. She walked to Lu Zhou and said in a soft voice, "Master… They're terribly afraid of you."

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked in the direction of Measure Heaven River. Based on his calculations, Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng were supposed to arrive by now. As for Hua Wudao, based on what he heard, it seemed like he would be seeing Hua Wudao sooner or later. If that was the case, all he had to do was guard the tree stump as he waited for the rabbit. There was no need to look for Hua Wudao everywhere. If Hua Wudao knew who the mastermind behind the Fish Dragon incident was, it would be even better. At this moment, the best person for him to get information from was Hua Wudao.

The witchcraft elite from the palace was extremely cunning. He was capable of setting up the Grand Witchcraft Formation at Measure Heaven River and observing the situation through the red flying chariot while giving out orders at the same time. It was apparent that he was highly skilled in witchcraft. Moreover, he was powerful enough to command Chen Zhu, one of the Three Godly Archers. He must enjoy a high status and have great influence as well.

After the battle at Measure Heaven River, this elite would surely be more cautious and cunning. Jiang Aijian had connections in the palace, but even he could not approach that person, let alone someone like Lu Zhou who was an outsider.

"Hua Wudao…" Lu Zhou muttered to himself.

"Our sect master is honestly preoccupied right now… I should be beheaded for making you wait, grandmaster!" Zhang Chu, the fifth elder, said with a bow.

Lu Zhou merely looked at him indifferently before ignoring him. 'He's only a Divine Court realm cultivator, and yet, he's already an elder of the sect. It seems like the Righteous Sect isn't what it used to be...'

Duan Xing walked out and said, "Everyone, the battle below the Green Jade Altar is over for now. Since our plans have been disrupted, why don't we continue this discussion some other time?"

"Good suggestion!" Zhang Chu said with a nod.

"Well, then, I'll be taking my leave!" Duan Xing ignored the other disciples on the Green Jade Altar. He merely cupped his fists toward Zhang Chu.

Lu Zhou gave this man another glance. 'Strange. There's nothing special about him.'

Duan Xing turned around and walked up to Lu Zhou. He spoke reverently, "Grandmaster, I have something that I have to attend to. I'll be taking my leave."

"Wait," Lu Zhou spoke calmly.

"Do you have any instructions for me, grandmaster?" Duan Xing did not dare slight Lu Zhou, immediately coming to a halt.

"I have a piece of advice for Ren Buping."

"I shall pass on your words of wisdom in its entirety to the temple master, grandmaster." Duan Xing appeared to be listening respectfully.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded as he said, "Protect the Fiend Temple, and mind your own business. Otherwise, you'll bring upon your own demise."

Duan Xing was taken aback by these words. He did not understand what the grandmaster meant, but he did not dare to question it. He bowed and said, "Thank you, grandmaster! Farewell, then." He waved his arm. With the Fiend Temple's disciples in tow, he left the Green Jade Altar.

Lu Zhou looked at the time again. He felt that it was about time for him to leave. With Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng's speed, they should not be hindered just because they were carrying another person. Moreover, the two of them had just recently entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm so their speed should have improved even more.

Just when Lu Zhou was about to leave, a voice rang from behind the Green Jade Altar disciples. "Which grandmaster came to visit the Green Jade Altar? Let me have a look at him."

The disciples on the Green Jade Altar moved backward and cleared a path between them.

"Zhang Qiuchi?" Zhang Chu went up to meet the person who had spoken. It was none other than the Righteous Sect's Zhang Qiuchi.

Lu Zhou vaguely remembered this person. He defeated Mingshi Yin some years ago. Mingshi Yin was badly bruised back then. Mingshi Yin was once depressed because of this. He hid in the mountains and cultivated painstakingly. Now that a few years had passed, Zhang Qiuchi's strength and cultivation base should have improved as well.

Zhang Qiuchi was polite. When he saw Bi An sitting near Lu Zhou, he was slightly taken aback. He quickly regained his senses and said, "Greetings, grandmaster."

Lu Zhou ignored him. He looked at Little Yuan'er and said, "Let's go."

"Mhm."

"Grandmaster?" Zhang Qiuchi was puzzled by Lu Zhou's cold treatment.

All of a sudden, the disciples on the Green Jade Altar disciples exclaimed in surprise.

"Someone's coming!"

Everyone looked up, including Zhang Qiuchi.

"Hm?"

It was understandable that Zhang Qiuchi did not recognize Lu Zhou. After all, Lu Zhou's appearance had changed considerably. However, there was no doubt that he would be able to recognize the Evil Sky Pavilion's fourth disciple, Mingshi Yin. In recent years, one of the biggest factors that contributed to Zhang Qiuchi's meteoric rise was his victory over the Evil Sky Pavilion's fourth disciple, Mingshi Yin. He became excited when he saw Mingshi Yin flying toward him.

"Mingshi Yin? He's coming to the Green Jade Altar?!"

"It's Mingshi Yin?"

"The Evil Sky Pavilion's fourth villain, Mingshi Yin!"

The disciples on the Green Jade Altar were shocked. Since their cultivation bases were low, they did not dare to recklessly charge at Mingshi Yin. Moreover, the sect master and other elders were not around. Fortunately, they had Zhang Qiuchi who was a match for Mingshi Yin, and Zhang Qiuchi who had defeated Mingshi Yin before. This was like a golden opportunity granted to them by the heavens.

Lu Zhou's expression remained indifferent when he saw Mingshi Yin. However, inwardly he felt suspicious. 'Duanmu Sheng should be with him. Where's he?'

At this moment, Zhang Qiuchi leaped into the air. He laughed and said, "The heavens are on my side! I'll capture this villain alive today. We'll see who dares to look down on the Righteous Sect after this!"

"With Elder Zhang here, there won't be any problem with capturing the villain."

"We're willing to cheer the elder on!"

Zhang Qiuchi nodded. He said to Lu Zhou who was next to him, "Grandmaster, I'll place them in your care."

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said nothing.

Many disciples on the Green Jade Altar leaped into the air as well. Those with weaker cultivation bases could only stay on the Green Jade Altar and watch.

A hint of excitement could be seen in Zhang Qiuchi's eyes as he flew toward Mingshi Yin.

Lu Zhou leaped onto Bi An's back. He stroked his beard calmly, "Everything is predestined."

Little Yuan'er leaped onto Bi An as well. "What's predestined?"

"It's Zhang Yuanshan and Hua Wudao's destinies. It's also your Fourth Senior Brother's destiny."

Bi An growled and leaped into the air.

At the same time, Mingshi Yin sailed through the air.

The Green Jade was already in sight. Then, he suddenly turned in another direction. This was the Righteous Sect's territory, after all.

"Where's master?" Mingshi Yin scratched his head as he surveyed his surroundings. He slowed down, preparing to descend. He looked behind him as he muttered to himself, "Third Senior Brother should be here soon! Although he doesn't have the Overlord Spear, I'm still faster than he is!" He laughed gleefully.

Mingshi Yin was still feeling pleased with himself when a shrill cry rang from the direction of the Green Jade Altar.

"Mingshi Yin!"

Mingshi Yin looked behind. He frowned. He recognized the person immediately. He cried out, "Zhang Qiuchi? It's you?"

"There are paths to heaven, and yet, you abandoned them. There are no doors to hell, and yet, you've barged right in!" Zhang Qiuchi hovered in the air with his hands on his back. He looked at Mingshi Yin with a burning gaze as though he was looking at his prey.

Mingshi Yin waved his hand and said, "I'm in no mood to fight you today… Have you seen my master?"

Zhang Qiuchi was momentarily stunned. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Do you think you can frighten me with your master's name? I'll mete out justice on behalf of the heavens today!"

"Wait." Mingshi Yin waved his hand again. "I'm serious, have you seen my master?"

Zhang Qiuchi was provoked by Mingshi Yin's seemingly flippant behavior. He said harshly, "If I see him, I'll kill him as well!"

Bzzt!

Primal Qi converged from the surroundings.

Zhang Qiuchi made a few hand seals, and Daoist Mudras began circling him.

Primal Qi continued to surge.

Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm!

At this moment, the disciples from the Green Jade Altar who finally caught up to them landed on the ground, surrounding them.

Mingshi Yin looked at the sky and did not see his master at all. 'I've fallen for master's tricks again!'
