My Disciples Are All Villains

Following the crashing noises, silence returned.

Everyone looked at each other; their expressions were grim.

Only Lu Zhou's expression remained the same. He stroked his beard and observed the surroundings before he silently recited the incantation for the power of hearing.

The sound of the rustling wind and grass within a kilometer entered his ears. Apart from the sound of the wind, Transient City was completely silent.

'Who cares what kind of monster it is? Let's just go and have a look…'

After cutting off the power of hearing, Lu Zhou rested his hands on his back and led the others into the ruins of Transient City.

When they stepped foot into Transient City, a strange sensation descended upon them. It was as though water was flowing around them. The Primal Qi was rich, and everything seemed to move faster.

Yu Shangrong tapped his toes lightly and flew to stand on a broken stone pillar in just a blink of an eye. He looked around before he said, "As expected of a holy land of cultivation…"

Yu Shangrong could already sense the rich Primal Qi that was gathering several times faster compared to other places.

Buzz!

Yu Shangrong manifested his golden halo. The eleven leaves surrounding the halo flew out one after another.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following that, millions of energy swords flew around before they shot into the Longevity Sword.

Yu Shangrong's movements were smooth and skilled; they were at the peak of perfection.

Although Kong Wen had witnessed Yu Shangrong's skills before and did not doubt Yu Shangrong's strength, he still could not understand how a Hundred Tribulations Insight cultivator could be so strong.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of huge rocks falling rang from up ahead again.

"There are movements…" Mingshi Yin said.

Yu Shangrong said with a smile, "I'll go and take a look."

Yu Shangrong moved gracefully as he flew. In just a few breaths, energy swords bloomed in the sky.

Lu Zhou's figure flashed and vanished as well.

With that, the others no longer hesitated. They flew out together.

Only Lu Wu lay on the ground, uninterested. After traveling for so long, it took advantage of Transient City's special environment to rest.

…

Lu Zhou hovered in the sky and looked down.

Yu Shangrong put away his Longevity Sword and retreated to his master's side.

When everyone arrived, they saw a strange monster that struck fear into people's hearts.

The creature's body was dark and was about three to four meters tall. It had a humanoid form. It had a nose, a pair of eyes, and four limbs. Its eyes, however, resembled those of owls. The strange and most difficult thing to understand was the huge hole on its chest.

Little Yuan'er retreated behind Lu Zhou before she peeked out and asked, "W-what… What kind of fierce beast is this?"

The two sides looked at each other.

At this time, the information of the creature appeared before Lu Zhou's eyes.

Name: Gore

Identity: Void Chest tribe

Cultivation base: Thousand Realms Whirling

In fact, all this time, Lu Zhou had been feeling curious. Regardless of whether they were from the Foreign tribes or not, everyone he had met was classified as humans. Only Chen Zhu from the Triverso Tribe was different. After leaving Great Yan and visiting the red lotus domain, the black lotus domain, and the white lotus domain, it was the same; everyone was classified as humans regardless of tribes.

What was the Void Chest tribe?

Kong Wen, who was like a walking encyclopedia of fierce beasts, was stunned as well. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's Void Chest tribesman."

"Void Chest Tribesman?"

Kong Wen gulped before he said, "A long time ago, like I said before, humans lived in the Unknown Land. The seasons changed, and there were sunrises and sunsets. Many species lived here at that time. Later, a disaster fell and some species gradually vanished. The Void Chest tribe was one of the Six Great Deformed Tribes."

"Six Great Deformed Tribes?"

"As you can see, despite being vaguely humanoid, they're not humans at all. That's why their tribes were called the Deformed Tribes. The Bowelless Tribe and the Odd Numbered Arms Tribe disappeared first; it's said that they left the Unknown Land. Later, only the Three Bodies Tribe, Three Heads Tribe, One Hand Tribe, Void Chest Tribe were left. However, they were said to have gone extinct a long time ago…" Kong Wen said in disbelief.

Little Yuan'er closed her eyes and stopped looking at the creature with a hole for its chest. She was unwilling to even think about the other five Deformed Tribes that Kong Wen mentioned. Just from their names alone, she could already imagine how they looked. Having too rich of an imagination was not always a good thing. This was really not in line with her aesthetics.

Swoosh!

At this time, a thick and strong-looking stick flew in front of the 4-meter-tall 'person' with an empty chest. Then, the stick flew into the hole.

Following that, two other 'people' with holes for chests, who were shorter than the original one, ran out. They jumped up and flew forward, allowing the stick to enter the holes on their chest.

The trio looked like a skewer.

One of them said, "Leave Transient City."

"Why?" Lu Zhou asked tonelessly.

'This thing actually knows human language…'

"This isn't a place you should stay," Gore said hoarsely, "You've already taken everything you could take from the Unknown Land, what else do you want?"

Kong Wen explained in a low voice, "According to ancient records, the four remaining Great Deformed Tribes were ostracized by humans. Therefore, they should hate us, humans, very much…"

Lu Zhou was not surprised. Since they did not conform to the standards of human appearance, humans would naturally find their appearance hard to accept. Conversely, these tribes would also find humans' appearance hard to accept. For example, these creatures from the Void Chest tribe likely found it disgusting that humans had solid chests.

Lu Zhou looked at the Void Chest tribesmen and asked, "Does this mean Transient City is your territory?"

Gore nodded.

Kong Wen immediately objected. "Nonsense! Transient City has always been independent. Moreover, 120,000 years ago, this place was occupied by humans. When did it ever belong to the Void Chest tribe?"

Gore looked at Kong Wen and said determinedly, "This place belongs to us now."

These matters were common in the history on earth as well. For a city, blood could be shed, let alone Transient City that was the holy land of cultivation.

At this moment, another five or six tall Void Chest tribesmen ran over from the distance.

"Drive them out!"

The five 'people' straightened their backs before the hollow parts of their chests lit up.

"Birth Chart Power?"

Subsequently, five beams of light shot toward the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Lu Zhou raised his hand and manifested his astrolabe.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The astrolabe with a diameter of 100 meters shone with a golden light and blocked the five beams of light.

Gore, who was standing the closest to them, suddenly spun around.

The two smaller Void Chest tribesmen suddenly flew out from the stick that joined them like a cannonball. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced over.

"I'll deal with them!" Duanmu Sheng held the Overlord Spear upside down as the purple dragons glowed on his arms again. His eyes flashed as he rushed out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Duanmu Sheng thrust the Overlord Spear out at the small Guanxiong tribesmen.

All of a sudden, the holes on the two small Void Chest tribesmen's chests shot two waves of energy out.

Boom! Boom!

Everyone retreated.

Duanmu Sheng tightened his grip on his spear. At this time, he emitted a dark aura from his body; it was as though he had become a different person. He hovered in the air, completely unaffected by the explosions.

Gore raised his head. "Demon?!"

Once he emitted the dark aura, Duanmu Sheng's movements became unrestrained. The Overlord Spear grew in size as the two purple dragons shot out and twined around its shaft. He continued to attack Gore relentlessly.

Bang!

The energy spears hit the Void Chest tribesman with a loud bang, causing sparks to fly in all directions.

"Amazing!" Everyone was filled with praise.

At this time, Mingshi Yin moved to Kong Wen's side and asked in a low voice, "What are the weaknesses of these creatures?"

Kong Wen shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, I know that they can release very strong explosions like you saw earlier. Also, they can release an incredibly corrosive poison…"

Duanmu Sheng and Gore continued to fight fiercely for hundreds of rounds, but they seemed to be evenly matched.

"Thousand Waves!" Duanmu Sheng continued to advance. At this time, he brought his Overlord Spear down heavily on Gore's shoulder, smashing half of Gore's body into the ground. His sturdy body and powerful defenses made the others gasp in admiration.

At this moment, the five tall Void Chest tribesmen suddenly leaped over and surrounded Duanmu Sheng.
