My Disciples Are All Villains

Jie Jin'an arrived in front of Lu Zhou in just a blink of an eye and grabbed Lu Zhou's arm.

Lu Zhou turned around. His body was suffused with the divine power as he avoided Jie Jin'an and asked, "How did you know I'm here?"

Jie Jin'an said anxiously, "There's no time to explain. Come with me first!"

"Do you think I'm afraid of the Great Void?"

"I know you're not afraid. It's not in line with your character at all. However, now isn't the time for you to make an enemy out of the Great Void!" Jie Jin'an said with a hint of exasperation.

"It's just as I thought: you're from the Great Void," Lu Zhou said.

The fog in the sky kept churning as the Pillar of Destruction lit up like the moon, illuminating Yu Zhong.

Jie Jin'an frowned upon seeing this. "The glazed ceramic has lit up! Let's go!"

Jie Jin'an pushed his hand out, and an astrolabe appeared in front of the trio.

The space froze as a vortex appeared, forcefully bringing the trio away.

…

By a stream near a remote mountain.

Lu Zhou, Jie Jin'an, and Qin Renyue landed on the ground. They looked in the direction of Yu Zhong immediately. Due to the distance, they only saw the faint light from the glazed ceramic in the Pillar of Destruction; they could not see anything else.

The flying beasts in the sky seemed afraid of the light; they did not dare to get close at all and fled in different directions. Among them, there was no lack of beast emperors.

Lu Zhou asked, "Who are you exactly?"

"Don't be so suspicious. If I were your enemy, I wouldn't have helped you. I even gave you a gift," Jie Jin'an said.

Qin Renyue said with a frown, "I thought you said you don't know each other?"

Jie Jin'an said with a straight face, "We don't."

"..."

"Do you think I'm not a match for them?" Lu Zhou asked.

Jie Jin'an did not reply to Lu Zhou's question. Instead, he pointed at the fog above the Pillar of Destruction in Yu Zhong and said, "Look."

A white-clad cultivator rode on a frost dragon and streaked across the sky. He circled Yu Zhong before he shot toward the mountain stream.

As Jie Jin'an looked at the frost dragon, he said, "I received news that the Nine-clawed Black Dragon is dead so I rushed here. I didn't expect it to be you. If I were a step too late, you would've been targeted by the Great Void."

Then, Jie Jin'an pointed at the frost dragon and gestured to Lu Zhou and Qin Renyue to step aside.

Qin Renyue was shocked. "It's really a frost dragon!"

"There's no lack of powerful beings in the Great Void. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Great Void is as powerful as it was in the past. It's not an exaggeration to say that if the Great Void wants you dead, then you'll be dead," Jie Jin'an said.

Qin Renyue said with a grim expression on his face, "As expected of the Great Void. By the way, what's his cultivation base?"

The white-clad cultivator rode on the frost dragon and crossed the mountain stream before vanishing from sight.

Jie Jin'an replied, "He's just from an ordinary patrol team. He can't be considered strong. What is strong is the frost dragon. That frost dragon is one of the three existing frost dragons in the Great Void. They're ancient divine beasts."

Qin Renyue was stunned. Then, he asked, "Then, compared to the Fire Phoenix, which one is stronger?"

The strength of a divine beast was beyond Qin Renyue's understanding, after all.

Jie Jin'an replied, "There's no way to compare them. The Fire Phoenix can be reborn, and the frost dragon can't. The Fire Phoenix deals damage with true fire while the frost dragon has the ability to control water. However, strength-wise, the frost dragon is stronger."

"How strong!" Qin Renyue exclaimed.

"These are all tamed fierce beasts. Some of the ones that are as intelligent as humans are even more terrifying," Jie Jin'an solemnly said.

At this time, Lu Zhou said, "You seem to have forgotten something."

"What is it?" Jie Jin'an was puzzled.

Qin Renyue helpfully reminded Jie Jin'an. "The Nine-clawed Black Dragon."

Jie Jin'an: "..."

Jie Jin'an smacked his forehead lightly and asked Lu Zhou, "How did you kill the black dragon?"

Lu Zhou did not answer Jie Jin'an.

Jie Jin'an circled Lu Zhou a few times, alternating between shaking his head and nodding his head. After a moment, he finally shook his head and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Qin Renyue remained silent. He was outside of the black fog so he could not see what was going inside. In fact, he also found it hard to believe, but based on the situation, it was highly likely that Lu Zhou really killed the black dragon.

Buzz!

At this time, the unique sound of energy resonance rang from the Pillar of Destruction.

Upon hearing this, Jie Jin'an's expression changed slightly. He rose up to the sky slightly and looked at the Pillar of Destruction from a low altitude. He quickly landed and said, "It's the Holy Maiden. I have to hide! Take care, both of you!"

"Wait!"

Jie Jin'an could not wait any longer. He had to leave quickly. He disappeared from sight in just a blink of an eye at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Qin Renyue returned to Lu Zhou's side and called out tentatively, "Brother Lu?"

Qin Renyue did not know if he should leave or stay so he decided to ask Lu Zhou's opinion.

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and said, "There's no need to worry."

At this time, the duo saw two towering green avatars in the sky. Their heights were unknown. When the green avatars disappeared, they saw two figures above the mountain stream.

Qin Renyue was still worrying about being discovered by the Great Void when Lu Zhou said, "You're finally here."

"..."

The two cultivators in the sky looked down. With just a flash, they descended until they reached a low altitude above the mountain stream.

A familiar figure and a familiar face.

"Lan Xihe," Lu Zhou called out. The reason he was not worried was due to his ability to smell the other party's aura through the power of smell. He had long smelled the refreshing scent of mint and hibiscus.

The other person was the blue-clad female attendant who was always by Lan Xihe's side.

Lan Xihe frowned slightly as surprise flashed in her clear eyes. "It's you?"

"Thank you for remembering me," Lu Zhou said expressionlessly.

Lan Xihe asked, "Did you kill the Nine-clawed Black Dragon?"

"Yes, I did." Lu Zhou was not afraid to be honest.

Lan Xihe said, "You're really brave. Aren't you worried about being punished by the Great Void?"

The way Lan Xihe spoke about punishment seemed to indicate she held a high position. Her words and actions were clearly those of someone who held a high position.

Lu Zhou did not answer Lan Xihe's question. Instead, he asked, "Are you alone?"

Lan Xihe did not respond to Lu Zhou's question as well. Instead, she said, "I believe Pavilion Master Lu couldn't have killed the black dragon. Please take care of yourself. Let's go."

After saying that, Lan Xihe and the blue-clad female attendant turned to leave.

However, Lu Zhou continued to say, "I intentionally killed the black dragon for the purpose of meeting the people of the Great Void."

"Hm?" Lan Xihe turned around.

Lu Zhou said, "It's best if you don't simply move."

Lan Xihe's expression was slightly unnatural upon hearing these words. She was puzzled; why was Lu Zhou so hostile? Nonetheless, she still said, "Back then, the person Pavilion Master Lu sparred with at the white tower was just a projection of mine from a sacred relic I left in the white tower. Are you really confident you'll be able to defeat me now?"

Lan Xihe could sense that Lu Zhou was ready to make a move at any time.

Lu Zhou said, "It doesn't matter if you're a god from the heavens or a human on earth. Killing my disciple is an unforgivable crime."

"Killing your disciple?"

"Is the Halcyon Bird your mount?"

"Yes," Lan Xihe replied.

"You're quite brave seeing as you dare to take responsibility for your actions. Didn't I teach you enough of a lesson back then?" Lu Zhou asked in a dark voice.
