My Disciples Are All Villains

Mingshi Yin naturally did not forget to tell Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong about how they had split up.

Since Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong bore the marks of the Azure Emperor, they had been in the Unknown Land, hoping to find their master to remove the marks. After receiving Mingshi Yin's message, the duo did not waste time and rushed to the twin lotus domains.

Strangely, over the past 30 years, the Azure Emperor did not come to look for the duo at all.

…

The Sacred Temple in the Great Void.

Ming Xin stood in the hall and looked outside.

Wen Ruqing flashed and appeared in the hall. Then, he said, "Your Majesty, the ten halls of the Great Void have sent people to the designated locations in the twin lotus domains. They've searched the area within 10,000 miles but did not find those with the Great Void Seeds."

Ming Xin seemed to have expected this. "I've already expected them to make a move first. That's why I told you to leave as quickly as possible. I didn't expect them to move even quicker."

Wen Ruqing said, "If that's the case, please use the Scales of Justice to find them again, Your Majesty."

Ming Xin flicked his sleeve, bringing out the Scales of Justice.

The Scales of Justice hovered in front of Ming Xin, suffused with a faint light. It only tilted slightly and did not point in any specific direction.

Wen Ruqing frowned upon seeing this. "How cunning of them."

At this time, another figure appeared in the hall. It was a seductive woman, like an enchanting flower, dressed in red. She said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Hua Zhenghong, what is it?" Ming Xin asked, gesturing for Hua Zhenghong to speak.

"Nine Great Void Seeds are still lost. After so many years, those who possessed the seeds should've become Venerable Masters at the very least. If the world was still balanced, Your Majesty's Scales of Justice would definitely be able to find them. However, since the imbalance is affecting the Scales of Justice, it's a little difficult to sense the changes between heaven and earth."

Wen Ruqing said mockingly, "You speak so much, but your words are nonsense. These are things we already know."

Hua Zhenghong was not angry. She continued to say, "The ten halls of the Great Void are even more anxious than us about this."

Ming Xin flipped his hand, and a round compass appeared. The needle on the compass spun wildly.

"This is called the Compass of Conservation. I used a part of the Scales of Justice to refine this. Give it to the ten halls."

Hua Zhenghong had been waiting for this item. She smiled. She knew Ming Xin had made two preparations.

Meanwhile, Wen Ruqing looked at the Compass of Conservation silently.

After receiving the Compass of Conservation, Hua Zhenghong hurriedly left.

Although the Compass of Conservation could not compare to the Scales of Justice since it did not have any destructive power, it could sense the shifts in balance in the nine domains. In order to find the Great Void Seeds, Ming Xin had forged the compass 100 years ago.

…

Five days later.

In a dilapidated temple in the black lotus domain.

"Elders, why aren't we staying in the city? Why are we hiding in the wilderness?" Little Yuan'er asked, dissatisfied with the four elders' arrangements.

Pan Litian replied, "Little girl, it'd be harder for us to escape if we stay in the city."

"Escape?" Little Yuan'er was speechless.

"Times have changed. We have to be a little cowardly," Pan Litian explained, "Every two days, we'll have to switch locations to avoid being found by the Great Void."

Little Yuan'er mumbled, crestfallen, "You mean to say that before master returns, we have to live in exile?"

"Uh…" Pan Litian smiled awkwardly before he said, "It's true that we have to move around. However, I wouldn't say we're living in exile. It's more like a strategic shift…"

Little Yuan'er had no choice but to accept this reality. She sat on the steps and rested her chin on her hands. She looked down the mountain and muttered to herself, "When will master return?"

Zuo Yushu, who was standing nearby, held the Coiling Dragon Staff and said with a smile, "Girl, instead of thinking about troublesome things, why don't you accompany me to cultivate?"

"No, it's boring."

"How are you going to improve if you don't cultivate?"

"I've always been like this," Little Yuan'er replied.

"..."

'I've been dealt a heavy blow, but I asked for it myself,' Zuo Yushu thought to herself before she found a place nearby to cultivate.

…

In the afternoon, a huge flying chariot appeared in the northern sky of the temple. The flying chariot spanned thousands of feet, and it flew toward the temple like a fierce beast.

The four elders rushed out of the temple. When they found Little Yuan'er, they said urgently, "Let's go!"

The four elders took up four positions and flew to the south.

Little Yuan'er looked back at the flying chariot in the sky and said, "Maybe they didn't come for me?"

"It's good to be overcautious."

"Alright."

The five of them flew over the mountains and landed in a jungle, avoiding the flying chariot.

As soon as Little Yuan'er landed, she said helplessly, "Without master, we can only run away."

…

When night fell in the black lotus domain, a gust of cool wind blew over.

Perhaps, it was due to the imbalance, there were hardly any stars in the sky. Even then, it was still a beautiful sight.

Little Yuan'er, who was looking at the sky, suddenly asked, "Elder Pan, what if my master…"

"Girl, don't talk nonsense," Pan Litian interjected immediately, not allowing Little Yuan'er to finish her words.

Little Yuan'er stuck her tongue out.

Pan Litian continued to say, "Everything is predestined. Have a good rest. We'll look for another place tomorrow morning."

…

The next morning.

The five people heard buzzing noises.

"Let me take a look," Zuo Yushu said as soon as she heard the sound of energy resonance. She flew up to the top of a tree and looked in the direction of the sound. A frown appeared on her face instantly as she muttered, "A flying chariot?"

It was the same huge flying chariot from before.

Zuo Yushu landed and said decisively, "We have to leave now."

With that, the five flew away again. They followed the mountains and forests, flying about 1,000 miles south before they landed at the foot of a mountain.
