read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1722

“I thought it’s going to be difficult to find Jian Bing, who knew the answer would come knocking on my door?”

Lu Zhou used the great power of teleportation, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.

…

Ancient ruins.

The Nihilist Congregation’s base inside the ancient city walls.

The three Cult Leaders of the Nihilist Congregation sat in the meeting hall, dumbfounded.

“Why does Lord Unholy One want to find Jian Bing?” Chu Lian was puzzled.

“Lord Unholy One says Jian Bing is in the ancient ruins, but why haven’t we seen it or found any traces of it before?” Zhou Cheng asked, also puzzled.

“Don’t think too much for now. We should wait for the cult master’s return before we make any plans.”

With that, the trio sat in the meeting hall, drinking tea and chatting from time to time.

…

About 15 minutes later, a voice rang thrice from outside.

“Welcome back, Cult Master!”

“Welcome back, Cult Master!”

“Welcome back, Cult Master!”

The trio rose to their feet immediately and rushed out of the meeting hall. They saw the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation, who was dressed in a gray robe, riding on a puff of cloud. They thought that only the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation could have such grace. He looked magnificent and imposing riding the auspicious cloud as he returned to the Nihilist Congregation.

…

The members of the congregation kneeled on one knee immediately.

The three cult leaders bowed at the same time.

…

After walking into the meeting hall…

Zhou Cheng said loudly, “Cult Master, it’s great that you’re back!”

Yan Guichen and Chu Lian: “…”

The cult master was in high spirits. He was all smiles as he asked, “Hm? Where’s Cult Leader Du?”

Zhou Cheng replied, “Cult Leader Du is dead!”

The cult master frowned. “Why do I feel something is wrong with you? Cult Leader Du is dead. Why are you so happy?”

Thump!

Zhou Cheng fell to his knees and said, “The Unholy One has returned to the world! Not long ago, he came to our congregation. Cult Leader Du didn’t have a discerning eye. He offended the Unholy One and was killed as a result.” Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the cult master excitedly before he continued to say, “Cult Master, Lord Unholy One has been waiting for your return!”

Yan Guichen and Chulian were speechless.

‘Cult Leader Zhou, you’re so f*cking amazing! You took the lead one after another. Is reporting this also worth taking credit?!’

Smack!

The cult master stepped forward and slapped Zhou Cheng, shocking Zhou Cheng.

Yan Guichen and Chu Lian instinctively took a step back. They felt as though they had been slapped as well.

The three of them looked at the cult master in shock.

The cult master scoffed coldly. “You’re muddle-headed and confused! How many years has it been since the Unholy One fell?”

“???”

‘Fine, this cult master has the same problem as Du Chun! This problem is very easy to treat! The Unholy One can easily treat those who are unconvinced!’

Zhou Cheng said insistently, “Cult Master, the Unholy One truly visited us. Cult Leader Chu and Cult Leader Yan can also testify to this! The members of the congregation can also testify. We also saw the Unholy One control the Heavenly Dao Flag!”

“Hm?” The cult master frowned.

At this time, Yan Guichen bowed and said, “Cult Master, Cult Leader Zhou is telling the truth. The news of the Unholy One’s return has long spread through the Great Void. It was indeed the Unholy One who fought with Tu Wei. Moreover, we also saw Ling Guang, the Fire Deity.”

The cult master’s expression changed slightly. “Fire Deity? Ling Guang, I knew you’re still alive!”

“Cult Master is wise. You’ve guessed correctly.”

When news spread that Ling Guang had died, the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation had said that Ling Guang was not dead. His words were proven true today.

The cult master asked, “Could it be one of the Unholy One’s students pretending to be him?”

It was not impossible for a student or a disciple to imitate their master. A student of the Unholy One could have easily controlled the Heavenly Dao Flag.

“This…” Yan Guichen shook his head. “It’s not possible. The Four Supreme Beings of the Sacred Temple don’t have this ability, and the current disciples of the Unholy One are a bit… weak.”

Zhou Cheng said, “The Unholy One told you to wait. He’ll come and see you soon.”

The cult master laughed. “I’ll believe you for now.”

Inwardly, the cult master thought to himself, ‘I want to see which impostor managed to deceive the three cult leaders!’

“Thank you, Cult Master. Cult Master, please don’t leave for the next two days!”

Then, Zhou Cheng rose to his feet and moved to the cult master’s side, acting as though he was trying to stop him from leaving.

Cult Master: “???”

“What are you doing?”

“The Unholy One said he must see you,” Zhou Cheng said.

“Yan Guichen, Chu Lian, drag him away and give him 30 strokes of the cane! Beat some sense into him so he remembers who is the cult master,” the cult master said in a deep voice.

“Understood.”

Yan Guichen and Chu Lian moved to the cult master’s left and right sides respectively and tacitly held the cult master’s arms.

Cult Master: “???”

“Cult Master, please endure for two days. After that, you’ll understand our painstaking efforts,” Yan Guichen said.

“Bast*rd! Bast*rd!” the cult master cursed.

‘I can’t believe I raised so many ingrates! I’m going to die of anger!’

At this moment, a dignified voice rang in the air.

“Yan Guichen, Chu Lian, Zhou Cheng, where are you?”

The trio shuddered involuntarily. Then, they abandoned the cult master without a thought and ran outside.

The cult master looked at the trio with a speechless expression.

The three cult leaders rushed out of the meeting hall and saw Lu Zhou hovering in the air. They fell to their knees immediately and said in unison, “Welcome, Lord Unholy One!”

The trio was very surprised. Earlier, the Unholy One had told the cult master to wait so they did not expect him to come so soon. Thinking of this, their hearts thumped in their chests. Fortunately, they were smart and stopped the cult master from leaving earlier!

“When will your cult master return?” Lu Zhou asked.

The trio instinctively turned to look inside the meeting hall.

At the same time, the cult master walked out of the meeting hall. He raised his head and saw the other party who had the posture, aura, and bearing of an emperor. He thought to himself, ‘No wonder he managed to brainwash the three cult leaders. Impressive! This is a high-level swindler! He definitely didn’t come with good intentions. Moreover, he also killed Du Chun. I’ll have to deal with him carefully first. I’ll pretend to obey him first as I think of ways to expose him!’

With this thought in mind, the cult master bowed and said, “Greetings, Lord Unholy One!”

Lu Zhou was surprised. He thought he would have to prove himself, but he did not expect the cult master to be so smart! As expected of the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation.

At this time, Zhou Chen turned around and tugged the cult master’s sleeve as he said, “Cult Master, you’re the number one believer and followed of Lord Unholy One. You must kneel to greet him.”

‘Kneel? No way!’

The cult master only bowed, neither servile nor overbearing.

Lu Zhou said, “Don’t bother with formalities. I came to the congregation today for two things.”

The cult master bowed again and said, “Please speak, Lord Unholy One.”

Zhou Cheng looked at the cult master anxiously as he thought to himself, ‘Why isn’t the cult master excited?’

Lu Zhou looked to the left and the right before he said, “All of you leave. The three cult leaders and… Jian Bing can stay.”

‘Jian Bing?!’

The three cult leaders were confused. They looked to the left and right, thinking to themselves, ‘Jian Bing? Where’s Jian Bing? I don’t see it?’

The cult master looked at Lu Zhou in shock.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of the cult master. Then, he raised his hand and gently placed it on the cult master’s shoulder. He said, slightly emotionally, “It wasn’t easy for me to find you.”

“Ah, this…” the cult master instinctively took a few steps back.

‘This swindler’s method is really not simple!’
