read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 995

When Lu Zhou uttered these words, he had already calculated both sides’ strengths. He had even hoped the two Tower Masters of the Black Tower Council and White Tower Council would appear. Based on his strength now, he could easily go on a killing spree now. However, since all forces were present now, each with their own agendas, there was no need to act for the time being.

Everything aside, Lu Zhou was more than confident he could deal with Ye Liuyun. Therefore, how could he let himself be humiliated so easily?

Initially, he had planned to heed Xiao Yunhe’s advice to wait at the sides and act at the right time. Now, he had changed his mind.

During the one month he stayed in the ruins, Yan Zhenluo had sent him a message. Although the Black Tower Council had temporarily put aside their internal conflicts, when war broke out, everyone would definitely prioritize themselves. The White Tower Council and the Great Yuan’s royal court would not interfere as well, preferring to watch a show.

In the black coffin, Ye Liuyun laughed. The sound was rather enchanting. “Alright, old man. I was joking earlier. There’s no need to take it seriously. It’s not like it’s the first time your Humble White Sect has been ridiculed and humiliated.”

“…”

Chen You and the members of the Humble White Sect were rather speechless at this unprovoked insult.

Lu Zhou said, “Anyone is free to come to the chaotic Southern Kingdom. When has the Humble White Sect offended you?”

“It’s not that. I’m just stating facts. The weak should have awareness of their strength,” Ye Liuyun replied, slightly impatient.

“So you’re saying the strong can insult the weak?”

“This…” Ye Liuyun hesitated for a moment before he said, “Reality is always so cruel. Since you’re already so old, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this.”

“Then let me see what a good-for-nothing like you can do!” Lu Zhou brought an ordinary Deadly Strike Card. It was not worth it to use an enhanced Deadly Strike Card to deal with trash like Ye Liuyun.

One of the reasons Lu Zhou was so confident was due to Lu Zhou finding a way to deal with strong enemies. He would use ordinary Deadly Strike Cards to deal with enemies with eight or fewer Birth Charts. Even with the increase in price, he could afford to buy the ordinary Deadly Strike Cards.

“What did you say?” Ye Liuyun’s voice rose. However, he did not want to lower himself to the old man’s level. His targets were the life hearts below, not a bunch of weak Humble White Sect cultivators.

“I gave you a chance…” Lu Zhou raised his hand.

The palm seal Lu Zhou launched was just an ordinary Buddhist palm seal. It did not contain the supreme mystic power or any other tricks.

The golden palm seal shot toward the black coffin while the members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council watched in excitement. Naturally, they hoped other forces would fight among themselves so that they could seize the opportunity to snatch the life hearts.

On the other hand, the cultivators from the Humble White Sect sighed emotionally. They had suffered many insults and ridicule for the longest time. Although they tolerated it, how could they not be angry? Everyone had their dignity after all. Now that someone was venting their anger for them, how could they not feel emotional?

“Golden palm seal?” King Chen of Wu looked puzzled.

No one bothered to block the golden palm seal.

When the palm seal finally landed on the black coffin, it lit up for a moment before it disappeared with a puff.

Upon seeing this, the people from the Dark and Light Alliance laughed uproariously.

Meanwhile, the members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council were dumbfounded. Was this all they had?

King Chen of Wu shook his head. He had thought they met an expert, but it turned out to be fake.

At this moment, a creepy laughter rang in the air before a figure suddenly appeared above the black coffin. Due to his exaggerated speed, he left after images in his wake when he moved. It was clear that the master assassin had made his move.

Ye Liuyun said with a sneer, “I wouldn’t have made a move if you didn’t launch that pathetic palm strike. What a pity! Today I’ll show you the cruel reality of life.”

Swoosh!

When Ye Liuyun was fifty meters away from Lu Zhou, his eyes flashed with a blue light and he caught a glimpse of the cold smile on Ye Liuyun’s face. He raised his hand and pushed his palm out.

The Great Seal of Fearlessness.

No matter how many times Lu Zhou used it, similar to its name, Lu Zhou always felt fearless, and it also put everyone at ease when using it. The feeling was similar to the first time he used it.

“Hmm?” Ye Liuyun, the self-proclaimed master assassin, narrowed his eyes. There was no one with Eight or fewer Birth Charts whom he feared. However, when he looked at the palm seal, a sense of unease rose in his heart. An assassin’s instinct had always been keen. He could tell the palm seal was not simple, but how could he dodge it now? With so many people watching, how could he, the master assassin, abandon his pride and dignity?

Ye Liuyun moved at a speed that was hard to capture, like light and shadow. It was dazzling.

In comparison, the Great Seal of Fearlessness that was small and light looked as though it was going to shatter at the lightest touch. However, at this moment, it suddenly increased in size. The increase in size was so exaggerated; the bottom of the palm seal touched the ground while the top of the palm seal towered over the clouds! Following that, the palm seal fell like a golden mountain.

Boom!

The Great Seal of Fearlessness landed on Ye Liuyun, the master assassin.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock by the palm seal’s sudden increase in size. They felt chills run up their spines as they wondered what was going on.

Ye Liuyun’s mind went blank. He grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood. The force from the palm seal seemed to shock him to the core, causing his body to tremble. He was sent flying back immediately. At the same time, a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar suddenly appeared in the sky before it disappeared into his body.

Anyone with common sense knew what this meant; Ye Liuyun’s Birth Chart was destroyed with just a strike!

Lu Zhou did not feel anything about obtaining 6,000 merit points nor did he feel distressed about having to spend merit points to buy the item card. The important thing was the deterrent effect of the palm seal. Judging by everyone’s expressions, his plan was incredibly successful.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was pushed back several hundred meters before the people from the Dark and Light Alliance finally reacted.

“Lord Ye!”

Ye Liuyun only barely managed to stabilize himself after he shot past the tail end of the black coffin. When he raised his head, blood could be seen on the corner of his lips. He looked at the old man whom he assumed was a weakling in shock and disbelief.

Ye Liuyun felt his cheeks burned in embarrassment when he recalled himself saying he would show Lu Zhou the cruel reality of life.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yunhe, who had been with Lu Zhou over the past month, finally realized that Lu Zhou was not speaking thoughtlessly when he said he was determined to obtain Ying Zhao’s life heart.

The people from the Humble White Sect felt all their anger being vented at this moment. It was as though a heavy weight had been lifted off their chests, and their bodies felt lighter!

Chen You felt an unprecedented sense of smugness and satisfaction when he looked at Ye Liuyun’s soulless eyes. ‘Let’s see if you dare to bully the weak and poor again!’

“Who are you?” Ye Liuyun asked with a hint of confusion.

“Kneel,” Lu Zhou said curtly. His voice was not loud. Although it sounded deceptively gentle, it carried with it a huge pressure.

“…” Ye Liuyun staggered. He did not dare to defy Lu Zhou in fear of being at the receiving end of another palm seal, but he was not willing to kneel either. He pleaded in a low voice, “King Chen, help me…”

King Chen of Wu shuddered as if he had just jolted awake from a nightmare. He hastily said, “Ye Liuyun, how can you ask me for help? I’m not familiar with you. Moreover, you insulted the senior first. It’s only fair that you kneel and apologize.”

“You…” Ye Liuyun gritted his teeth; his heart filled with unwillingness. However, what could he do? Reality proved that he was no match for the old man in front of him. All he could do was submit; this was the cruel reality of life.

Ye Liuyun looked at the members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council below with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council sneered. Ye Liuyun clearly wanted to snatch a share of the life hearts earlier; how could they help him now?

Lu Zhou saw Ye Liuyun’s stubbornness and shook his head. “You’re really stubborn. I’ll send you off now.”

“No.” Ye Liuyun suddenly raised his head as he said in a trembling voice, “I… I will kneel…”

Then, Ye Liuyun slowly fell to his knees. Suppressing the unwillingness that threatened to overwhelm him, he kowtowed.

At this moment, King Chen of Wu, whose attitude became much more polite now, cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou and asked, “Senior, as it turns out, your cultivation base is so profound. My name is Chen Tianhao. May I ask for your name?”
