My Disciples Are All Villains

"..."

It was as silent as a graveyard as everyone stared blankly at the bloody and pulpy mess that used to be Fei Huang. No matter what, it used to be a beast emperor, perhaps, the pavilion master should have spared it a little dignity and not killed it so quickly.

Zhu Honggong had just opened his mouth when Mingshi Yin said, "Master is really decisive and killed it with just a move! Whether it's a beast emperor or a fierce beast, their endings are the same in front of master!"

"..."

Zhu Honggong chimed in loudly, "Fourth Senior Brother is right!"

Lu Wu, who stood on the ground, had already lost the light on its face. Then, it said proudly, "It's because that I've injured it greatly that it died with just a palm strike."

"Well, everyone in our Evil Sky Pavilion is powerful!" Zhu Honggong said as he clapped his hands.

Lu Zhou looked at Fei Huang and said, "Take the life hearts."

"Yes." Kong Wen descended and hurriedly picked the life hearts up. Since it was crushed, there was no need to dissect it. After cleaning them, he said, "There are four life hearts. Pavilion Master's control is really great. The life hearts are completely undamaged. They're all in good condition."

"Of course," Zhu Honggong proudly said, "I still remember how my master forced back the ten great sects in the past. What a spectacular scene!"

"Stop flattering me," Lu Zhou said with a slight frown. Back then, an Eight-leaf cultivation base was second to none, and everyone respected him, but now, eight leaves were even more insignificant than ants.

Zhu Honggong said, aggrieved, "Master, you can't say that. If telling the truth is considered flattery, then you might as well seal my mouth."

"..."

"Although it was a different time, the cultivation world had a clear understanding of things. They knew who was the strongest person in the world; they knew who stood at the top of the world! Uh... Fourth Senior Brother, stop glaring at me! If telling the truth is a crime, then the hundreds of thousands of people in the Divine Capital are all criminals!" Zhu Honggong said.

"..."

Zhu Honggong then carefully added, "It's the truth."

Mingshi Yin felt as though he was going to have a mental breakdown.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong had never participated in these topics. They were the two eldest disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion, after all. As senior brothers, they were like elders. How could they bother with the children?

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeves and said, "That's enough."

He descended.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion followed suit.

"Master, Fei Huang's body is emitting a dense corrosive energy," Duanmu Sheng said.

With that, everyone saw a cloud of corrosive energy rising from the mangled carcass. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees had already withered since before so it was impossible to tell if the corrosive energy was strong enough to affect the plants.

"It's fine." Lu Zhou was not affected by the corrosive energy at all. Moreover, he also had the Purple Glazed Ceramic, and the divine mark robe.

The others took a detour as they followed Lu Zhou toward the Pillar of Destruction.

As they flew, Kong Wen said, "Fei Huang is considered an ominous beast. People dislike it. Some scholars like to paint it as a god of misfortune. It's said that those who meet it will be met with misfortune."

"You believe this?" Mingshi Yin asked.

Kong Wen shook his head and said, "No. If it's true, then what do you think its life heart's ability is? To bring your opponent bad luck?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Then, Kong Wen brought one of the life hearts out and said, "Mr. Fourth, help me."

"How?"

"Just give me some light."

Mingshi Yin cast a dazzling golden seal.

When the light shone on the life heart, one could see a faint energy in the center of the life heart.

Kong Wen explained, "The energy is not bad. Its ability is both defense and strength-based."

Everyone nodded.

Mingshi Yin said, "I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of fierce beasts."

"It's not bad. I wandered the Unknown Land all year round in the past, after all. My little bit of knowledge now is to be expected," Kong Wen modestly said.

"My eldest brother doesn't have any special abilities, but in regard to knowledge about fierce beasts, if he claims second place, no one will dare to claim first place!" Kong Wu said.

"Stop bragging," Kong Wen said to his brother. When Si Wuya, a well-read person, was around, he really did not dare to show his knowledge. Now that Si Wuya was not around, he felt he must pay attention to any topic that might lead to Si Wuya and nip them in the bud.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Pillar of Destruction, they discovered it was similar to the entrance of the Pillar of Destruction in Yu Zhong. They looked up at the pillar that towered into the fog; its top could not be seen at all.

"Those from the Great Void really have a lot of time. Why must they prop themselves up in the sky? Do they have a lot of energy?" Mingshi Yin said.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion had already learned about the Great Void's location. Initially, they found it hard to believe, but since Lu Zhou had said it, they knew it must be true.

"Who knows what they're thinking? I really didn't expect the Pillars of Destruction are actually used to support them. The higher it is, the thinner the vitality energy would be. They must have a shocking formation to counter that problem. Moreover, they have to make sure the pillars are stable and undisturbed. No wonder the ten zombie kings are used to protect the pillars. It's also no wonder they keep bringing powerful people to the Great Void."

"Why?"

"With the zombie kings guarding the pillars, they won't collapse. Then, bringing all the powerful and talented people to the Great Void also ensures that no one in the nine domains will be able to do anything to do pillars."

Mingshi Yin asked, "Wait. Then, what about the powerful beasts in the core area?"

"There's a supreme being who restrains them..."

"How do you know when you're not from the Great Void?" Mingshi Yin asked.

"I'm just guessing," Kong Wen replied.

At this time, Lu Zhou turned around and swept his eyes across the crowd.

Everyone fell silent immediately.

The surroundings were also quiet. Princess Mulberry did not show up again.

This was undoubtedly the best time to enter the Pillar of Destruction.

Lu Zhou clasped his hands behind his back and said, "As my disciples, you need to obtain the recognition from the Pillars of Destruction. Old Fourth has already obtained the recognition at Yu Zhong. Now, it's one of your turns."

Qin Naihe said helplessly, "But to obtain the recognition, you must possess a rare and precious quality. Let's all give it a try."

In fact, Mingshi Yin wanted to say that the rare and precious quality was just the Great Void Seed. However, he felt it might deal a huge blow to the others so he held back.

Lu Wu, on the other hand, sat on its haunches and closed its eyes. 'Why does a group of future supreme beings need recognition? How boring.'

"Let's go."

Everyone followed Lu Zhou into the Pillar of Destruction. Most of them had some experience so they were not surprised. For those who had been to a Pillar of Destruction for the first time, they looked around curiously.

"What kind of craftsmen is able to build such a tall building? Even a god can't do so, right?"

Many things were easy to destroy but difficult to build. Everyone was naturally curious how the pillars that were capable of supporting the Great Void were constructed.

"Now's not the time to discuss this. Look ahead!"

Everyone saw a spherical barrier that glowed with a faint blue light in the center. That was the core of the Pillar of Destruction that protected the Great Void Seed. It was this barrier that prevented cultivators from easily obtaining the Great Void Seed.

"I'll go first," Kong Wen said as he rushed forward. Just as he drew close, he was sent flying back.

Bang!

Everyone shook their heads. It was clearly not Kong Wen.

"This is different from the ultimate killing formation!" Kong Wen exclaimed after he landed on the ground.

"If it's that formation, you would've died," Mingshi Yin said as he rolled his eyes.

"Different paths lead to the same destination. This is purely for defense," Kong Wen said as he endured the pain and rose up.

Everyone took turns trying; one by one, they were sent flying.

Zhu Honggong swaggered over, and with a bang, he was sent flying back. He said unwillingly, "Why is it so difficult to get the recognition from this pillar in Ji Ming? I clearly have the qualities!"

"You have the qualities?" Mingshi Yin was speechless.

Zhu Honggong said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhao Hongfu!"

Zhao Hongfu revealed a puzzled expression on his face. 'What does this have to do with me? I'm just a runemaster! I don't even listen to your conversations. I'm confused!'

Zhao Hongfy said, clearly unsure, "Uh... The rarest qualities? Uh, being able to eat and sleep easily?"

Zhu Honggong: "..."
