read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1015

Two days later, Lu Zhou emerged from his meditative state.

The first thing he did was to manifest his avatar to look at his fifth Birth Chart.

In the Birth Palace on the lotus seat, all five Birth Charts were lit up.

Apart from an increase in his strength, speed, and Birth Chart Power, the fifth Birth Chart granted him the power to control as well.

“It’s a pity that it won’t be easy to collect another three life hearts to rise to the peak…”

Lu Zhou felt a little traumatized from the ‘Thank you for your participation’ from the lucky draws.

Currently, he had over 500,000 merit points.

“It’s a pity that I can’t buy the Peak Trial Card. As such, I can only focus on increasing my strength.”

Now, he had to wait to see if Ying Zhao was willing to submit to him. Otherwise, he would give it to one of his disciples.

Based on ancient records, there were cultivators who gave up 1,500 years of life to save the life heart before using it again. With that, there would be no need to look for another life heart. The disadvantage was they would not gain a new power. Apart from that, the Birth Chart that was activated following that would be inferior if it was used again by the same person. Therefore, there were rarely people who embedded two of the same life hearts.

“If I plan to save the life heart when activating my sixth Birth Chart, I’ll need 1,500 years of life; I only have 300 years now…”

Unless he had no intention of letting his disciples reuse Pu Yi’s life heart, he would have enough years to activate his Birth Chart.

“I need more Reversal Cards…”

Lu Zhou looked at the system interface; he had 35 Reversal Cards left. Based on his calculation, he needed more than 900 cards to have 1,500 years.

“…”

It cost 500 merit points per card

“Hmm? What’s that?” Lu Zhou saw a reminder.

“Note: This item is recommended for purchase.”

“Purchase?” Lu Zhou frowned slightly. After drawing ten times, he obtained a Reversal Card.

“The probability of winning is about the same and the price is the same as buying it.”

At first, the chance of winning was very high. However, the longer he drew, his chances of obtaining something had dropped. His luck points reached 999 before he even gained anything.

Naturally, the system’s comment was only a suggestion.

However, if he was fortunate with the lucky draws, it would be more worth it than buying it.

Of course, the system’s suggestion was only for reference. If he was lucky and won the lottery, it might be more cost-effective than buying it.

However, the Reversal Card’s price would definitely rise. The Reversal Cards did not grant one with extra years of life; what it did was that it reversed the time. When he transmigrated, he had 1,000 years of life. Therefore, the limit to the Reversal Card was only 1,000 years. If he reversed any further, he would not be surprised to return to his mother’s womb.

“1,000 Reversal Cards caused 500,000 merit points…” Who knew one of the cheapest item cards would cause trouble to him at this moment.

In the end, he dismissed the idea of buying the Reversal Cards.

Swoosh!

At this moment, there was movement from the talisman.

Lu Zhou closed the system interface and brought out the black talismans before igniting it.

As soon as Yan Zhen Luo’s image appeared, he scratched his head and said sheepishly, “Brother Lu, you really hid deeply…”

“Hmm?”

“In the black lotus domain and the white lotus domain, there’s no one who’s unaware of s a golden lotus expert who has 12 Birth Charts. Brother Lu, you’re really good at hiding your strength…” Yan Zhen Luo said.

“I’ve always been honest and never hide anything,” Lu Zhou said with a straight face.

“…”

‘Fine, you’re a big shot; everything you say is right. It’s pointless to argue with you.’

Yan Zhenluo’s attitude that had been respectful grew even more respectful than before as he said, “I don’t know about the White Tower Council, but the Black Tower Council is in an uproar. The Black Tower Council’s annihilation plan has been rejected by Tower Master Xia. There are many forces now that are afraid of Brother Lu…”

This was also within Lu Zhou’s expectations. With 12 life Birth Charts, it was only natural those people were more restrained than before.

“What about the Dark and Light Alliance?” Lu Zhou asked.

“This is what I wanted to speak to you about today. Ye Liuyun is dead; the Dark and Light Alliance has always been one to seek revenge for the smallest grievances. If they didn’t dare to confront you, they’ll definitely think of another way to seek revenge. I heard from a friend that the Dark and Light Alliance has sent their men to the red lotus domain and the golden lotus domain. However, I don’t know if it’s true or not,” Yan Zhenluo said.

“Golden lotus domain?” Lu Zhou frowned.

“King Chen of Wu of the Great Yuan’s royal court was seriously injured. However, they usually follow the rules and aren’t that despicable. The White Tower Council has sent an envoy to negotiate with the Black Tower Council. There won’t be any conflicts between them in the future….” Yan Zhenluo said.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “Yan Zhenluo.”

“Yes?” Yan Zhenluo could feel the sudden change in Lu Zhou.

“It’s no longer suitable for you to stay in the Black Tower Council. I’m going to give you a chance…” Lu Zhou said indifferently.

“This…” How could Yan Zhenluo not understand Lu Zhou’s words? If he joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, it was tantamount to betraying the Black Tower Council. The consequences would be unimaginable.

“The former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council, Xiao Yunhe, was not given this chance. It’s best if you think this over carefully,” Lu Zhou said in a low voice.

Yan Zhenluo was taken aback when he heard Xiao Yunhe’s name. How could he not understand the weight of these words? He yearned for freedom and loathed the struggles between humans. He had long been tired of the Black Tower Council. After a while, he said, “Ever since the last mission, the Black Tower Council has increased its supervision of the members. It’s now difficult to leave the Black Tower Council…”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll make a trip to the Black Tower Council sooner or later.”

“…”

Since Lu Zhou had said so much, Yan Zhenluo said decisively, “Brother Lu, you’re being so straightforward. If I refuse you, then it means I don’t appreciate your kindness. I, Yan Zhenluo, am willing to follow your lead…”

“Ding! Obtained a subordinate. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

“Very good. I’ll grant you the position of the Left Envoy of the Evil Sky Pavilion. From now on, you’ll only listen to my orders.”

Yan Zhenluo’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing these words. With his cultivation base, he could be considered a relatively senior member of the Black Tower Council. However, he was not even given the position of an elder. How could he not feel moved or excited being given the position of Left Envoy after joining the Evil Sky Pavilion?

“Thank you, Pavilion Master.”

“I’ll have to trouble you to stay in the Black Tower Council for this period of time,” Lu Zhou said.

“Alright.”

Following that, the projection was cut off.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. The overall strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion had increased a little, but it was still far from enough.

The cultivation bases of the four elders and the guardian, Meng Changdong, had yet to catch up to the others. It would be difficult for them to challenge even the weakest Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators in the Black Tower Council and White Tower Council.

“Men.”

Instead of the palace maids, Little Yuan’er and Conch entered the hall.

Little Yuan’er imitated the palace maid and said respectfully, “Master, what are your orders?”

Lu Zhou frowned. “Little girl, have you been slacking in your cultivation recently?”

Little Yuan ‘er giggled and ran to Lu Zhou’s side. She said, “How can I slack in my cultivation? I’m about to sprout the tenth leaf!”

“That’s good. Go and summon your Second Senior Brother here,” Lu Zhou said.

“What’s the point of summoning Second Senior Brother? Conch and I are capable of handling whatever task you have for him! It’s too suffocating for us to say within the confines of the royal palace every day,” Little Yuan’er said, aggrieved.

“Return to the Evil Sky Pavilion… Can you do it?” Lu Zhou said.

“I will summon Second Senior Brother immediately,” Little Yuan’er said without any hesitation.

In fact, it was not a bad idea to let Little Yuan’er and Conch return to the golden lotus domain, but it was too dangerous for them to cross the Endless Ocean, and they could not control the runic passage.

Among Lu Zhou’s ten disciples, only Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were capable of controlling the runic passage.

Based on the short fight between Yu Shangrong and Xu Chen, it could be seen that Yu Shangrong had the strength of a Two Chart expert at least even if he looked like a Ten-leaf cultivator with a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.

Soon after, Little Yuan’er brought Yu Shangrong over.

Yu Shangrong bowed. “Master.”

“I summoned you here because I want you to bring a few life hearts back to the Evil Sky Pavilion. The Dark and Light Alliance are out of revenge. We only have Guardian Li Xiao Mo who has three Birth Charts, I’m slightly worried…”

“I’m willing to go to the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Yu Shangrong said.

“As expected of Second Senior Brother!” Little Yuan’er said with a smile.

Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and said, “Recently, I feel that my cultivation base has had a breakthrough, and I’ve met with a bottleneck. If I stay in the palace, I might not be able to get past the bottleneck.”

All of a sudden, Lu Zhou suddenly struck with his hand.

A golden palm seal shot toward Yu Shangrong at lightning speed.

Yu Shangrong’s combat experience was incredibly high. Before his master’s palm seal even reached him, he had drawn his sword horizontally and controlled his energy.

Bang!

Yu Shangrong blocked the golden palm seal and slid back a few meters before he came to a stop steadily.

“Since you’re able to block this move without any harm, it means you’ve forged a new path on the lotus-severing path…”
