read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 868

If the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar had shocked them, the shock when they saw the display of colors of the lotuses was beyond description.

The Sky Research Court was established over 1,000 years ago, and the members had spent all their time studying and researching. Their understanding of the universe was not inferior to anyone else. They were privy to many secrets that were unknown to the cultivation world such as the golden lotus domain and the black lotus domain, and the ferocious beasts hidden in the depths of the forest and the Endless Ocean. However, at this moment, it felt like their knowledge had been refreshed.

The geniuses had all kinds of questions in their minds. They wondered if the Sky Martial Court had advanced so much during the time they were imprisoned. Based on their research, did the Sky Martial Court somehow produce some incomprehensible results?

It was understandable that there were new discoveries during the 100 years they were imprisoned. Too many things could happen in 100 years.

Huang Yu was the first to snap out of the stupor. He rubbed her eyes, causing them to water. However, when he looked up again, the blue lotus in the sky had already faded away.

It was a real blue lotus!

After a long time, He Zhong finally said, “An illusion?” However, how could it be an illusion? Nothing was more real than this. The wound on his body had been healed.

No, this could not be considered as refreshing their knowledge. This was overturning everything they had ever known!

The Sky Research Court had studied this matter hundreds of years ago and paid a huge price because of the research. Why was it that only people who were born in the red lotus domain could only cultivate red lotuses and why did people who were born in the golden lotus domain could only cultivate golden lotuses? Why was it impossible for those who were born in the golden lotus domain to cultivate red lotuses?

This display truly overturned everything they had ever known. How could they not be in a stupor? Their eyes were dazzled and their minds were buzzing from the various colors.

How could a person master so many cultivation methods with so many different colors?

There were too many questions running across the minds of the geniuses from the Sky Research Court.

Even the first-rate geniuses were at a loss, there was no need to mention the others; this included Lu Zhou’s disciples who thought they understood their master the most.

The four Grand Dukes remained kneeling as though they were frozen.

The display was too unbelievable.

Even after the display had ended after a long time, the crowd still wanted more. It was too surreal.

At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “Whether it’s blue lotus or a green lotus, no one knows the meaning of these colors better than all of you. Think about it. When you leave this place, perhaps a few hundred years later, what if a powerful black lotus cultivator appears in front of you? What would all of you think at that time?”

Geniuses were stubborn. They had a one-track mind when pursuing knowledge. That was right. In order to survive and to pursue a peaceful life, all they needed to do was to leave this place. However, what about the future? A black lotus cultivator had already appeared, and the black lotus Thousand Realms Whirling avatar in the Sky Wheel Rift Valley was still a hot topic during dinner in various relay stations.

As the saying went, ‘Even before an avalanche, there’s not a single snowflake that’s innocent’.

“You are all talented people from the Sky Research Court. You yearn for freedom, and it was not easy for you to obtain freedom. Therefore, I won’t restrict you. You can all freely leave. From now on, the Sky Research Court no longer has anything to do with all of you. Your names will also be erased from the Sky Martial Court and the royal court,” Lu Zhou said as he stroked his beard and looked at the geniuses.

At this moment, the geniuses looked like they were deep in their thoughts. This meant that they were hesitating and were carefully making a decision.

‘That’s right. Think harder…’ Lu Zhou thought to himself before he said, “The red lotus domain has undergone many trials and tribulations to arrive at where it is today. However, there will be more disasters in the future. If it’s up to me, I, naturally, wish that all of you won’t leave. After all, every single one of you is Great Tang’s biggest talent and the foundation of the Sky Martial Court. If all of you leave, it will be a great loss to Great Tang and the red lotus domain. However, I’ve always kept my words. Therefore, I will not force you to stay if you intend to leave.”

Then, Lu Zhou made an inviting gesture and said, “Please.”

The geniuses were stunned.

At this moment, how could the others not understand Lu Zhou’s intention? Indeed, the older one was, the wiser one would be. Truly amazing! If he wanted to keep the talented people, he had to make them stay on their own accord. Was it not because of Yu Chenshu using the wrong method to deal with these people that Sky Martial Court was reduced to this state?

However…

Huang Yu said regretfully, “Senior Lu, you truly know our hearts. To be honest, people like us only know how to do these small things. We know nothing about governing a country, serving the people, or healing the people. Moreover, we’re not so selfless that we would sacrifice ourselves to save the world. In fact, we only want to do what we like; we want to continue doing what we did in the past… Unfortunately, the current Sky Martial Court…”

When Huang Yu finished speaking, he shook his head.

The other geniuses followed suit and shook their heads as well.

He Zhong, who was standing at the back, laughed maniacally before he said, “The Sky Martial Court is too smelly! It’s no longer fragrant. It’s really too smelly! That’s right! Where’s that old fart, Yu Chenshu? This place is as smelly as him. Do you guys smell it? It smells like sh*t… No, it’s worse than that. It’s smelly and sour. It smells like someone who hasn’t taken a bath in 800 years!”

“…”

He Zhong’s outburst was to be expected. He was likely heartbroken over the Sky Martial Court’s treatment of them. Moreover, with Yu Chenshu’s way of doing things, It would take more than a few words to change his mind.

Lu Zhou, who had expected this, said, “I’ve killed Yu Chenshu with my own hands…”

Lu Zhou had also expected this, so he said,

“I’ve killed Yu Chenshu with my own hands…”

The geniuses were stunned by these words. All of them turned to look at Lu Zhou one after another.

“Yu Chenshu is dead? !”

At this moment, Xia Changqiu said in a clear voice, “Yu Chenshu was too audacious; he tried to snatch a Birth Chart Heart from Senior Lu’s hands. However, he was unaware that Senior Lu had long formed a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. This matter is not a secrett. The True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect were present at that time. If you don’t believe this, you can ask around…”

Indeed. This was the Sky Martial Court. If he was still alive, how could he not be here at this moment?

The geniuses were further shocked.

“This…” Huang Yu was speechless.

Lu Zhou asked, “I personally killed Yu Chenshu. Do you doubt my words?”

“No, no, it’s not that… It’s not a surprise at all that someone who has formed a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar to kill someone who only has a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. It’s just that I’m… a little surprised,” Huang Yu said, “That old thing had taken many treasures from us. The Puppet Secret Technique, the Confinement Seal, the Life Siphoning Flag, and many other weapons. Apart from that, there were also the method to gather energy for the supreme-ruler-killing formation and the blueprint left behind by the Sky Research Court. A while ago, that old fox even upgraded his Confinement Seal to the flood grade. He thought he would be invincible, but he probably didn’t expect…” He trailed off and sighed.

A man with a beggar-like appearance, who was standing behind Huang Yu, clicked his tongue and said, “That old fart deserves it! It’s been 100 years. Who doesn’t know what kind of person he was? He’s a liar! A con artist!”

The geniuses cheered.

“Good riddance!” someone said before spitting on the ground.

It was clear that the people from the Sky Research Court hated Yu Chenshu to the bones.

At this moment, it finally dawned on Lu Zhou why Yu Chenshu was so insistent on dying at that time.

Lu Zhou suddenly understood why Yu Chenshu wanted to die. Yu Chenshu and this group of people were like oil and water. How could Yu Chenshu who had always been high and mighty be willing to let these people he had once trampled under his feet see him defeated and in despair?

At this moment, Xia Changqiu seized the opportunity and said, “Yu Chenshu is dead. The Sky Martial Court can be demolished and rebuilt or we can just change its name and make sure that it becomes a better place! I think it’s a pity that all of you are leaving. You really need to consider this carefully. Once you step out, you won’t be able to return any more. You’re all geniuses so I’m sure you can tell how sincere Senior Lu is. I believe once the Sky Martial Court is rebuilt, Senior Lu will definitely satisfy all your needs.”
