My Disciples Are All Villains

What a curious coincidence.

When Lu Zhou first went to the Luo Sect's holy land, Chu Nan was the one who led the party to greet the Evil Sky Pavilion. However, Chu Nan was unbelievably proud. Before Lu Zhou showed himself, he was knocked out by Pan Litian and Leng Luo. He did not even meet Lu Zhou. On top of that, Lu Zhou had been using many Reversal Cards lately. Half of his hair was now dark. Compared to his silver mane in the past, he looked starkly different.

Moreover, Chu Nan did not even spare a glance at Lu Zhou now.

It seemed like the previous lesson was not enough.

The people of the Luo Sect were proud. That much was true.

Lu Zhou shook his head. When he saw that Chu Nan was eager to take the vanguard and defend Mo City, he did not object. He only hovered in the air and watched.

Bam!

A loud explosion rang in the air and resounded through the land.

Chu Nan joined his palms together. His palm blade was extremely fierce as he struck at the huge beast's wing.

Sparks flew.

This move of his dislodged a feather.

"Nice!"

"Well done!"

"As expected of Luo Sect's Grand Elder!"

Although Chu Nan merely managed to dislodge a feather, it was better than not having any effect at all. The others were greatly motivated by this.

Lu Zhou shook his head helplessly. Although this was not the time for him to put a dent in their morale, he wondered how they were going to defeat the beast when they got so excited over a feather. These beasts were here for Nine-leaf cultivators, after all!

At this moment, someone who caught Lu Zhou's reaction asked, "Old Mister, why are you shaking your head?:

"This beast isn't easy to deal with."

The person standing on the left nodded, "Old Mister, we all know this. However, this beast is wreaking havoc. We have no choice but to do whatever we can. It's better than sitting on our butts and waiting to be killed. Moreover, if we retreat, what will happen to the civilians here? If this were a war, we'd still have a chance. However, these beasts are different."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"What good will it do being afraid?"

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He praised, "I like young men like you."

"Thank you for your praise, old mister."

"Which sect are you from?"

"I have no sect."

"If you're willing, you can join mine. Although you can't be my disciple, being a member of a sect is better than being like rootless duckweed." Lu Zhou truly liked talents like this. The Evil Sky Pavilion had always preferred quality over quantity. A person's character was even more important.

However, the young man shook his head and said, "I'm used to being free and unfettered. I don't like being tied down, but thank you for the offer, old mister."

"I'm…"

"That's enough, old mister. Even if the Evil Sky Pavilion's Patriarch himself is here, my answer would still be the same."

"…"

'Is my Evil Sky Pavilion not popular?'

To be honest, this was Lu Zhou's first time being turned down.

'Forget it. I'm not someone who would force someone against their will.'

Bam!

The Luo Sect's Grand Elder, Chu Nan, joined his palms again as he moved closer to the huge manman. He struck with his palm blades and dislodged another feather.

"Nice!" The crowd cheered.

The smaller manmans dared not sweep down as they were kept at bay by the other cultivators. They circled high above in the air and waited for their leader to lead them.

The huge manman shrieked when it lost another feather. Its talons glowed red, and it started flapping its wings in a frenzy at this moment.

"I'll cut you down!" Chu Nan shouted. He appeared at lightning speed and appeared above the huge beast. Then, he joined his palms together again. Soon enough, a massive energy saber materialized between his palms!

The energy saber was dozens of meters long and several meters wide. It was just big enough to cover the manman's body.

Whizz!

An avatar was summoned!

Almost everyone widened their eyes in shock when they saw the shining golden avatar.

"He cultivated to the Eight-leaf stage! Amazing!"

"We're saved! He's a recultivated Eight-leaf cultivator!"

As expected, the moment the avatar appeared, the manman seemed to sense danger. It adjusted its direction and flapped its wings.

Chu Nan tossed the energy saber out.

The avatar's palms moved. It held the energy saber and swung its hands.

"I heard that after the lotus is severed, the avatar could move around. I didn't think it was true."

"I'll give it a try when I go home. This is too awesome!"

The others were filled with excitement when they witnessed this scene.

Alas, when the massive energy saber struck, the manman brought its wings together, and the energy saber struck its wing.

Boom!

Several feathers fell off.

The manman shrieked and extended its wing before it lunged. Its speed and power were several times greater than before. It seemed to be in a frenzy. Originally, its target was not these cultivators. However, Chu Nan's relentless attacks seemed to have provoked it.

At this moment…

The manman's talons flashed red.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

"No!" Chu Nan retracted his avatar and sped backward!

However, the manman was intelligent. It seemed to know where Chu Nan was retreating to. It flapped its wings immediately and gave chase.

The smaller manmans flew forward as well when they heard the rallying cry from their leader.

Under such circumstances, Chu Nan would have to summon his avatar to kill the manmans with a single strike. However, if he did that, his avatar would be vulnerable to the beasts' sharp talons. What should he do? In the end, he activated his protective energy and kept using his energy saber to strike down the smaller manmans near him.

"Senior, look out!"

The huge beast swiped with its talons.

Chu Nan reeled. His protective energy was instantly penetrated by the sharp talons. His clothes were torn to shreds as well.

"It's powerful!"

The others felt their hearts sink.

The huge manman's strike landed true. It flapped its wings and lunged again.

Boom! Boom!

Two houses collapsed.

Lu Zhou shook his head. He stroked his beard and said, "I'd still have to do it myself in the end!"

Lu Zhou stepped into the air and vanished from sight. With a burst of speed, he quickly appeared before Chu Nan. He had an erudite air about him as he stood with his hands on his back.

The young cultivators were shocked as they exclaimed in unison, "Old mister!"

Chu Nan looked at Lu Zhou's back and seemed shocked as well. "Old mister, run away. I can still fight."

"You're too weak. What's the meaning of fighting a fight you can't win?" Lu Zhou did not look at Chu Nan when he spoke. His eyes were trained on the manman.

At this moment, the huge manman finally arrived before Lu Zhou. He struck with his palms.

Buddhist Hand Seal!

The huge palm sailed toward the manman's chest.

Boom!

The bird cried out and flapped its wings.

Lu Zhou unleashed his grand technique and appeared before the manman.

"Avatar."

A 100-foot golden lotus avatar towered in the air.

"An Eight-leaf golden lotus avatar! He's an elite!"

"I didn't expect Great Yan to have this many unknown elites!"

"There's only a handful who can resist severing their lotuses at this point."

Nonetheless, the cultivators were still worried. If Chu Nan who had cultivated to the Eight-leaf stage could not do anything to the manman, how was the old mister with the golden lotus supposed to defeat it? In their opinion, avatars with golden lotuses were weaker than avatars without golden lotuses.

After Lu Zhou summoned his avatar, he pushed his hand down.

"What's he doing?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Zhou at this moment.

Lu Zhou controlled his avatar with a golden lotus and brought it down on the manman.

Boom!

Ripples spread on the golden lotus.

Kree!

The huge manman shrieked. The crushing force from the golden lotus pained it.

Chu Nan and the young cultivators felt as though their hearts were in their mouths. Could an avatar be used in this manner?

This was but one of the many ways to use an avatar. The defense of the lotus was on par with a heaven-grade weapon. Lu Zhou knew how to use the avatar better than anyone else. He retracted his avatar and reactivated it. He was now high up in the skies!

Unlike before, this time, Lu Zhou's avatar was slightly slanting to the side. The sharp lotus leaves spun as they sailed toward the huge manman.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Feathers were dislodged again.

After eight horizontal slashes, the manman sped backward.

It seemed injured!

"You're amazing, old senior!"

"No way!" Chu Nan also learned something new from this. As the manman retreated, he no longer looked down on the old man. He bowed and said, "Which sect are you from, senior?"

Lu Zhou did not reply. Instead, he said, "Look closely!"

There was a flurry of movements as Lu Zhou's avatar disappeared.

Unnamed appeared in Lu Zhou's palm.

Since the beast was tough, and it was extremely difficult to kill it with the ordinary combat power of an Eight-leaf cultivator, Lu Zhou wondered if Unnamed that was of unknown origin would be able to cut the beast just as it had cut through Jiang Wenxu's blood sword.

Black runes swirled around the blade.

Unnamed was too small and delicate. As the battle raged on, it was barely noticeable.

Lu Zhou's grip on Unnamed was firm. With a flurry of movements, he shot toward the huge manman.

Swoosh!

Unnamed's blade glinted coldly.

Lu Zhou shot past the manman at lightning speed, drawing Unnamed across its wings.

Crack!

A part of its wing broke.

"Unnamed is effective." Soon enough, Lu Zhou confirmed his speculation. Without waiting for the wing to fall, he made a move again.

Lu Zhou was aware beasts would grow fiercer and more terrifying when they were injured. Therefore, he wanted to chase the manman out of Mo City before it was truly enraged.

Lu Zhou appeared in front of the manman again. He raised his hand that glowed blue.

Originating from nothing, from it comes everything. Living in samsara and learning from it. This is the power of past lives.

Daoist Nine Cuts Hand Seals!

Bam!

The huge manman cried out. Before it dropped to the ground, it was pushed away by the blue palm seal!

"This…"

The others were dumbfounded.

Lu Zhou sped forward. He stared at the manman and said gruffly, "Clean up the others!"

"Understood!"

The others snapped back to their senses and flew toward the smaller manmans.

Lu Zhou moved forward and launched another blue palm seal.

The huge manman flew backward at an angle. Every time it tried to catch its breath, Lu Zhou would send a palm seal its way.

Chu Nan could not help but exclaim, "My horizons have been widened!"
