My Disciples Are All Villains

The beast emperor, Lu Wu, seemed simple-minded and childish, but it was actually able to plot against the Black Emperor, which was rather unexpected.

It was not that the Black Emperor was stupid. It was just that humans and fierce beasts' thinking were completely different. Humans calculated gains and losses and weighed the pros and cons before acting. The Black Emperor, a ruler of a country, was even more prone to doing that. However, for Lu Wu, it did not think so much. Its goal was simple and clear: Duanmu Sheng. As for the human and fierce beasts' lives, they did not matter to it at all.

After the war ended, Lu Zhou did not pay attention to the aftermath. However, he could imagine that it had caused a lot of damage to humans.

"It's my turn," Lu Wu said as he looked at Lu Zhou suspiciously after it sensed the rich vitality energy from Lu Zhou's body. It asked, "How did… you spend… the last 30,000 years?"

Lu Zhou was too lazy to explain. He did some mental calculations. After passing two Birth Trials, each Birth Chart would increase one's lifespan by 3,000 years until the third Birth Trial. In total, there were 29,600 years. Naturally, this was just a rough estimate. Some would live a few more years and some would live fewer years. Nevertheless, the difference would not be big. Now that 33,000 years had passed, Lu Tiantong must have had further breakthroughs, died, or was captured by the people from the Great Void.

"It seems… like you've… indeed grown stronger…" Lu Wu said.

"..."

"However, in the Unknown Land… your strength was… weak…" Lu Wu said when it recalled its fight with Lu Zhou on Lake Heart Island. That was not the strength of a Venerable Master. The strength Lu Zhou showed when dealing with the monster hunting squad was more like it.

Lu Zhou switched the topic and asked, perplexed, "What the 'Dao'?"

Lu Wu was a little annoyed. It did not want to continue playing along so it said, "You should… know… better than me…"

"?"

Lu Zhou was even more annoyed than Lu Wu, but he did not show it on his face.

He was truly puzzled. With the 30,000-year Void, by right, supreme beings should leave behind cultivation manuals, insights, and so on to help the later generations. However, the reality was that very little was recorded in the ancient records in various domains. There were only diagrams and descriptions of fierce beasts.

In the golden lotus domain, the Mystic Realm was still considered a legend. When the frog at the bottom of the well left the well, it thought it had seen the vast world only to later discover it was still at a corner of the world.

Lu Zhou did not intend to continue asking questions. A beast emperor was still a fierce beast, after all. It was too difficult to communicate with it. If there was a Venerable Master who was willing to talk to him, perhaps, he would be able to obtain some answers.

Lu Zhou thought about Lu Tiantong and Lu Qianshan. Perhaps, there were some hints left behind in the Lu clan? With this thought, he decided to visit the Lu clan.

Seeing that no one was around, Lu Wu lowered its head and asked conspiratorially, "Venerable Master Lu… where are the other… Great Void Seeds… hidden?"

"Why are you asking questions you know the answer to?" Lu Zhou retorted.

"Can't you tell me?" Lu Wu asked.

Lu Zhou said, "Isn't it enough? Lu Wu, if you think I'm lying, you can leave now. I'll make an exception and let you leave without any consequences…"

"..."

'It seems like I've gone too far…'

Lu Wu shook its head. "I'm just curious. I… I'm not one… to go back on my words!"

So far, Lu Wu had met Duanmu Sheng, Zhao Yue, Ye Tianxin, Zhu Honggong, Little Yuan'er, and Conch. He had yet to meet the other four disciples. Out of the six people, it had confirmed that three of them possessed the Great Void Seeds.

One Great Void Seed could defy the heavens and change fate; three Great Void Seeds were… enough. Even if the others were fake, three Great Void Seeds were enough to guarantee the future of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

'To be able to obtain all ten Great Void Seeds, this Old Thief's method must be really heaven-defying! Perhaps, I'll be able to rely on the Evil Sky Pavilion to find Duanmu Dian in the future…'

Lu Wu asked again, "Then, can you tell me how you obtain them?"

After all, so many people fought over these treasures, but most of them could not even approach the Unknown Land, let alone go to the Unknown Land.

"Great Void Expedition." Lu Zhou half-heartedly came up with an excuse.

Lu Wu nodded. "That makes sense…"

"..."

'This beast… It stubbornly refuses to believe the truth, and yet, it so easily believed a lie! I regret inviting it to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. Is there still time to return it?'

Lu Wu sighed. "You're really too lucky… There are so many Great Void Expeditions, but it so happens the one you went on was during the time when the Great Void Seeds matured…"

Lu Zhou did not say anything.

Ji Tiandao did not even have eight leaves at that time. To be able to obtain not one, but all of the ten Great Void Seeds, when there were so many Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators looking for it, there was no doubt he must have had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Do fierce beasts want the Great Void Seeds as well?" Lu Zhou asked.

Lu Wu lowered its head and looked at Lu Zhou as though it was looking at a fool before it nodded.

"Humans want it to defy the heavens and change their fates. Why do the fierce beasts want them?"

Lu Wu said, "Fierce beasts are the same…"

"Fierce beasts are also bound by the heaven and earth shackles?" Lu Zhou asked skeptically.

"Between heaven and earth, there's no one who can escape from the shackles…"

"..."

The more Lu Zhou dug into things, the closer he got to the truth, the more ignorant he felt.

Cognition was like a circle with a small diameter. As the diameter continued to expand, the circle would come in contact with many new and unknown things.

Initially, he had thought only the golden lotus domain was bound by the heaven and earth shackles and that he had found the World Beyond the Heavens. As it turned out, there was more than just that. The black lotus domain and the white lotus domain proved that the shackles were everywhere.

"Have you been to the Endless Ocean?" Lu Zhou asked.

Lu Wu thought for a moment and replied, "In the past, I went to that place with Venerable Master Duanmu. However, I didn't go far since flying isn't my forte…"

"Did you see the Kun?"

Lu Wu's eyes widened. "That big fish?"

Lu Zhou nodded and looked at Lu Wu with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lu Wu said, "Don't provoke it..."

It raised its head and looked at the sky before it said, "I'm bringing Young Master away tomorrow…"

Swoosh!

Something flew out of the mountainside of Golden Court Mountain at this moment.

Lu Wu's ears twitched as it looked around before it exclaimed in surprise, "Bi'an?"

One of Lu Zhou's mounts, Bi'an, flew out of the forest before it rested at the periphery of the forest.

"It's Bi'an! I'm going to eat it while it's still weak!" Lu Wu grew very lively and did not think further about why Bi'an was here.

"That's my mount," Lu Zhou said.

Lu Wu: "?"

"I have many mounts like that," Lu Zhou said nonchalantly before he called out, "Whitzard."

Soon after, Whitzard flew over among the clouds and circled above the Evil Sky Pavilion.

When Lu Wu saw Whitzard, it took a step back.

"..."

'This Old Thief still has this up his sleeve! No matter what, I won't leave Evil Sky Pavilion!'

…

Meanwhile, in the southern pavilion.

Duanmu Sheng had been awake for quite a while. He felt as though he was dreaming as he looked at the familiar room and scenery outside. However, he was not an emotional person so he quickly gathered his thoughts and returned to normal.

At this moment, Zhu Honggong walked in and called out with a smile on his face, "Third Senior Brother! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Duanmu Sheng pinched himself and looked at the purple dragons on his wrists in disbelief. After looking at them for a moment, he collected his thoughts and asked, "Eighth Junior Brother, where were you before this? What happened?"

"I went to the yellow lotus domain! It was nothing," Zhu Honggong said. He had learned his lesson; he had to keep a low profile.

"Did you encounter any danger?" Duanmu Sheng asked.

"Not only did I not encounter any danger, but I improved a lot as well…" Zhu Honggong said with a smile, "Look."

Then, Zhu Honggong lifted his hand and manifested a miniature avatar above his palm. The eleven leaves around the halo were dazzling.

"Eleven leaves?" Duanmu Sheng said, "Congratulations, Eighth Junior Brother!"

"Second Senior Brother said if I work hard, the avatar can still grow within a certain range. The height is equivalent to the cultivation base of a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator with four or six Birth Charts…" Zhu Honggong said happily.
