read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 793

The reason why the Flying Star House could become a major sect and one of the great powers was mainly due to its house master, Chen Tiandu, and Ye Zhen. In a certain sense, Ye Zhen’s contribution to the Flying Star House was far greater than Chen Tiandu’s. Chen Tiandu was only a Ten-leaf cultivator who looked after the sect. It was all thanks to Ye Zhen that the Flying Star House rose to its height today.

Now that Ye Zhen and Chen Tiandu were dead, how could the elders and disciples not panic? They could only hide behind the Sky Martial Court in search of a hope to survive.

Behind Sikong Beichen, Meng Changdong was overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts. The Flying Star House was made greater and destroyed by Ye Zhen.

The Sky Martial Court cultivators retreated.

Lu Zhou looked at them indifferently before he shifted his gaze to Ye Zhen on the ground. Just to be safe, he brought the Golden Taixu Mirror and channeled Primal Qi into it.

The Golden Taixu Mirror buzzed. A beam of golden light shone on Ye Zhen’s corpse.

Sikong Beichen nodded and said, “What a great treasure to reveal monsters! Nie Qingyun, that Cloud Mountain Mirror doesn’t seem like much in comparison.”

Nie Qingyun was ghastly pale now. The Cloud Mountain Mirror could not reveal Ye Zhen’s true avatar nor could it reveal Lu Zhou’s true avatar.

Under the radiance of the golden mirror, Lu Zhou struck with his palm.

Several energy swords shot out, mincing Ye Zhen’s corpse into shred.

“Uh…”

The members of the Flying Star House gulped again and retreated further.

Bam!

When one of the energy swords slashed Ye Zhen’s corpse, a crisp noise rang in the air.

“Hm?” Lu Zhou was puzzled.

Under the shine of the golden mirror, there was a dark purple spot of light.

When the other cultivators saw this, they grew curious.

Lu Zhou waved his arm casually. The spot of light floated higher and flew toward his palm.

“Ding! Obtained Violet Glazed Ceramic. Grade: Heaven. Owner: Ye Zhen.”

“Violet Glazed Ceramic: calms the nerves, increases Primal Qi recovery. It may conceal one’s aura when Primal Qi is channeled into it.”

‘This isn’t bad. This must’ve been the reason Ye Zhen was able to trick the Cloud Mountain Mirror. As for how he turned his Nine Infants avatar into a humanoid form, I don’t think it’s because of the Violet Glazed Ceramic’s function. It must’ve been one of his techniques.’

In the golden lotus domain, once one had severed one’s golden lotus, one’s avatar was capable of making a few moments. Nobody in the red lotus domain had tried severing their lotuses. Indeed, Ye Zhen was a genius for discovering this technique.

Lu Zhou put the Violet Glazed Ceramic away before he looked at the cultivators from the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House again.

“Flog the corpse?” a Flying Star House disciple could not help but wonder out loud.

Lu Zhou flew toward the others.

As Lu Zhou drew closer, the members of the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House retreated further as though they were faced with a great enemy.

“We’re leaving,” one of the Sky Martial Court elders ordered loudly at this moment.

Thousands of cultivators led the others from the Flying Star House and left.

“Hold up.” Lu Zhou’s voice was cold and forceful. “Who gave you permission to leave?”

“…”

“You… You… Are you really going to kill all of us?”

“Stop them.” Lu Zhou waved his arm.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong shot forward.

Sikong Beichen hastily shot Yao Qingquan and Zhao Jianghe a meaningful look. ‘Why are the two of you so daft? Can’t you read the atmosphere?’

They immediately nodded in understanding and moved swiftly. They worked together with Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai to surround the Flying Star House and Sky Martial Court elders and disciples.

“Anyone who dares to move will be killed immediately,” Lu Zhou said.

“…”

After that, Lu Zhou turned to look at Nie Qingyun.

Nie Qingyun was flustered. He hastily bowed and said, “Senior Lu, kindly give us your orders.”

“The Flying Star House has led your disciples astray. Why are you keeping them instead of killing them?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Uh…” Nie Qingyun’s expression turned sour.

“I’ve never liked scheming individuals,” Lu Zhou said as he stroked his beard.

Ye Zhen was a master of schemes, and he had met a terrible end in Lu Zhou’s hands. He had lost all six of his lives!

Nie Qingyun said, “There’s nothing I can do since they’re from Cloud Mountain. I hope you can forgive me for this, Brother Lu.”

“Brother Lu?” Lu Zhou looked at Nie Qingyun as he raised his brow slightly. Although he had been engrossed in battle, he still kept an eye on Nie Qingyun. He asked, “How do you explain your action of stopping Sikong Beichen?”

If Sikong Beichen joined in the battle earlier, Ye Zhen would have to stay behind even if he had ten lives. However, Nie Qingyun had held Sikong Beichen back. Naturally, it was also partly due to the members of the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House.

When he heard these words, Nie Qingyun’s expression changed drastically. He remembered what Lu Zhou said. He immediately flew up and bowed. “I admit that I had some serious thoughts…” He paused slightly before he said in a distressed tone, “It’s difficult for a sect to remain for long. I’m sure Monastery Master Xia understands this well… If a sect is weak, it will have to strike the water on the left and right and curry favor with the stronger ones. Meanwhile, the stronger ones will also align themselves with those who are stronger than themselves. However, the sky has no limits… Who’s the real person at the very top? It’s difficult to fathom the hearts of men, and experts are often replaced. This is a world where it’s the survival of the fittest. There’s no such thing as reasons. When the beasts ate the humans, it never negotiated with men, and men are more vicious than beasts… I’ve poured half of my life into protecting Cloud Mountain. I can’t bear to see it being destroyed in Ye Zhen’s hands… Three centuries ago, Cloud Mountain fought against the Ninth Temple for seven days and seven nights, incurring thousands of casualties. After the battle, Cloud Mountain and the Ninth Temple’s grudge has lasted to this day… Senior Lu, don’t you think it’s only reasonable that I’m wary of the old fiend, Sikong?!” He looked up and met Lu Zhou’s deep gaze.

Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “What does that have to do with me?”

“…”

Nie Qingyun’s heart sank.

Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said, “My arrangement with the Ninth Temple aside, on account of Sikong Beichen protecting a few of my disciples all this time, do you think I can let this matter go?”

“Senior Lu!” Nie Qingyun bowed lower.

“I don’t have a habit of bullying the weak. If you survive my palm strike, I’ll spare you,” Lu Zhou said.

A hint of hesitance could be seen in Nie Qingyun’s words. After he thought about it for a moment, he steeled his heart and cupped his fists together before he said, “Alright.” However, he could not stop the scenes of Chen Tiandu being killed by that shocking palm strike from playing in his mind.

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. He purchased another Thunderblast Card. He raised his right hand slightly and pushed his palm forward, shattering the Thunderblast Card.

A shocking lightning bolt shot toward Nie Qingyun at once.

An expression of terror appeared on Nie Qingyun’s face. He lifted his arms before himself as red energy shrouded him. At the same time, he released Primal Qi and formed a tough Daoist seal that defended him from above.

Everyone watched as the Ten-leaf cultivator unleashed his full strength to defend himself,

This seemingly insignificant Thunderblast palm seal required a Ten-leaf cultivator to defend against it with his full might. What bewildered them further was that this old man who had crushed Ye Zhen still had that much power left in him. It seemed like his statement to Ye Zhen about Ye Zhen not being worthy to witness his full strength did not seem to be a lie.

Boom!

The Thunderblast seemed to have a penetrative power as it pierced through Nie Qingyun’s layers of Daoist seals. The lightning crackled and made short work of the Daoist seals.

Nie Qingyun merely felt a power that he was helpless to fight against strike his body.

Bang!

Nie Qingyun grunted as he recoiled.

“Sect Master!”

“Sect Master!”

Two elders swiftly flew toward Nie Qingyun and caught him.

The remaining Cloud Mountain disciples retreated and behaved as though they were facing a great enemy.

Nie Qingyun spat out blood. His head was drenched in sweat. After receiving this blow, the immensity of the power of his opponent finally dawned on him. He had no chance of winning; he was completely powerless to fight back. He was suddenly filled with a slight admiration for Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen must have possessed unyielding and stubborn willpower to be able to last so long in front of that old man.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard. ‘Hmm, only the damage effect of the Thunderblast Card was triggered.’ In any case, he had successfully deterred Cloud Mountain with this card.

Nie Qingyun coughed violently before he quickly bowed and said, “Thank you for showing mercy, senior Lu.”

“If you do something like this again, I’ll take your life.”

Nie Qingyun was ghastly pale. He immediately bowed.

On the cloud platform, Nie Qingyun had been of some help to Lu Zhou. Keeping him alive would be more useful than killing him. He had to plan for the long term.

The thousands of cultivators continued to retreat.

“What are you trying to do?” one of the Flying Star House disciples asked.

Lu Zhou waved his arm and ordered, “Leave none of the Flying Star House disciples alive.”
