My Disciples Are All Villains
chapter-1109

Lu Zhou rose to his feet and left the Preservation Hall at the speed of light.

The night was pleasant. Other than the occasional birds in the sky, the royal palace was very quiet.

There was no one around; obviously, the voice was transmitted to him from another place.

Lu Zhou followed the direction of the voice transmission. When he arrived on top of a palace wall, he looked at the palace guards before he said faintly, “Come out.”

Lan Xihe, who was dressed in a simple but elegant long robe, appeared in the air across from the palace wall.

Lu Zhou looked at her. Her complexion was much better compared to their last meeting, but it was still obvious she had not fully recovered.

“It’s only half a year since we last met, but Pavilion Master Lu has become old again,” Lan Xihe said with a faint smile, clearly feeling rather satisfied by Lu Zhou’s change in appearance.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you. It’s just a disguise,” Lu Zhou, who could see through her thoughts, bluntly said.

Lan Xihe was slightly taken aback. After a beat, she said with a sigh, “Many people pursue youth but fail in their attempts. However, Pavilion Master Lu is completely different…”

Lu Zhou did not respond to those words. Instead, he asked without beating around the bush, “Why did you come looking for me in the middle of the night, Tower Master Lan? You even traveled all the way here from the White Tower Council.”

“This war isn’t like a battle between cultivators. Are you mentally prepared, Pavilion Master Lu?” Lan Xihe asked in return.

“Is there a difference?”

“Of course.” Lan Xihe smiled as she looked up at the moon and said, “Both of us might die…”

Lu Zhou’s expression remained the same; he was unmoved. He stroked his beard and swept his gaze across the royal palace.

Lan Xihe continued to say, “Your disciple sent me a message. I wonder if that was Pavilion Master Lu’s idea?”

Lu Zhou replied, “Si Wuya represents me…”

Lan Xihe’s smile was as dazzling as the moon as she said, “I didn’t expect Pavilion Master would have a day when he has to ask for help…”

‘Ask for help? What kind of nonsense did Old Seventh write in the letter?’ Lu Zhou frowned slightly. Nevertheless, he did not say anything. Since he did not know the exact content of the letter, it was best to remain silent for now. Moreover, he trusted his disciple so he was not in a rush to disabuse Lan Xihe of her notions.

Lan Xihe’s smile vanished as she continued to say, “Mu Ertie and the Dark and Light Alliance have been waiting for this chance for a long time. They want to unify the black, white, and red lotus domain. Every once in a while, the sea beasts from the Endless Ocean would swarm toward the east of the red lotus domain. They will definitely take advantage of the sea beast tide this time…”

She paused for a moment before she said, “The Leader of the Dark and Light Alliance, Fan Ruoxi, has eleven Birth Charts; Mu Ertie has 12 Birth Charts. Based on the number of beast tides, there’ll be at least one beast emperor and four beast kings. We can easily deal with the others, but a beast emperor isn’t something you and I can deal with…”

“Beast emperor?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.

Lan Xihe looked at him with a complex gaze before she slowly explained, “Think of it this way. An ordinary beast is like an ordinary human; a fierce beast is like a cultivator. A giant fierce beast possesses a life heart. Fierce beasts with life hearts that provide more than 1,500 years of life are considered Birth Chart Beasts; Beast kings are those whose life hearts provide more than 2,000 years of life. Beast emperors… Beast emperors’ life hearts provide more than 5,000 years of life since their lifespans spanned from 8,000 years to 10,000 years…’

After Lan Xihe finished speaking, she looked at Lu Zhou as though she was trying to glean something off his expression. Alas, his expression was the same; it was impossible to tell if he was happy or sad.

“So you think you’ll die?” Lu Zhou did not count himself in.

Lan Xihe said, “My life is coming to an end anyway, and I’ve long seen through life and death. Pavilion Master Lu, you have such strong vitality energy. Aren’t you afraid?”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “Lan Xihe, from the time we first met until now, you’re still the same. You’re too condescending for your own good; you think too highly of yourself and look down too much on others…”

If it were not for the fact that she was the female Tower Master of the White Tower Council, Lu Zhou would have said that she was not qualified to look down on others.

Lan Xihe frowned slightly and asked, “Pavilion Master Lu, are you confident about killing a beast emperor?”

Lu Zhou did not reply to her question. He was reminded of the Kun in the Endless Ocean. A Deadly Strike Card could deal with the Kun, but it would exhaust his energy completely. The price was too high, and it reflected the Kun’s strength. If the beast emperors were like this as well, he would have to think twice.

Finally, Lu Zhou asked, “You can’t deal with a beast emperor?”

Lan Xihe shook her head and said, “I can’t kill it, but it can’t do anything to me either… During the Great Void Expedition, the participants ran into beast emperors… four beast emperors…”

“…”

Based on Lan Xihe’s words, a beast emperor’s strength should be higher than a Thirteen Chart cultivator but not by much.

Judging from this comparison, the Beast Kings’strength should be above thirteen fate points, but it shouldn’t be much higher.

Lu Zhou asked, “If the beast emperor comes, are you planning to sit and wait for your death?”

Lan Xihe said, “Yes.” She paused for a moment before she said, “This is the red lotus domain’s matter; it has nothing to do with the White Tower Council. To be honest, there’s another reason I came today.”

“Speak.”

“Don’t be angry, Pavilion Master Lu. However, I advise you not to interfere in this matter. I admire you and don’t wish to see you lose your life because of this matter. Let Mu Ertie have the red lotus domain for now. When the beast tides recede, it’ll be easy for you to snatch the red lotus domain back with your cultivation base…” Lan Xihe calmly said.

It had to be said that no one had thought of waiting until the beast tides receded before making a move. It was a rather good idea, but there were also many things that could go wrong.

Lu Zhou asked, “What if I insist on interfering?”

Lan Xihe sighed heavily and said, “This is what I expect you to do…”

“Since you know this, what’s the point of your advice?”

“There’s no harm in trying.” Lan Xihe shrugged. After a brief pause, she said, “The White Tower Council can help the Evil Sky Pavilion, but I have one condition. Pavilion Master Lu, I ask that you listen to me first before you decide…”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “Speak.”

Lan Xihe said, “I’d like Pavilion Master to take over the position of the Tower Master of the White Tower Council.”

The night wind blew and the moonlight shone brightly.

When the moonlight fell on Lan Xihe’s face, for a fleeting moment, Lu Zhou seemed to see signs of aging in Lan Xihe; there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and strands of white hair.

Lu Zhou did not refuse Lan Xihe immediately. Instead, he asked, “Don’t you have another five years to live?”

Lan Xihe shook her head and softly said, “Three years, perhaps… I want to find a new Tower Master before I die. Only with this, Great Ming, the White Tower Council, the Black Tower Council, and Great Yuan will be able to be at peace…”

“You seem to hate war.”

“I hate it… very much,” Lan Xihe said, “I don’t like killing people as well, but there are many things that I don’t have a say in…”

“It’s a good idea…”

“Pavilion Master Lu, you agree?” A hint of joy could be heard in Lan Xihe’s voice.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I’m afraid I’m not qualified to be the Tower Master of the White Tower Council.”

Lan Xihe was disappointed when she heard these words. She looked at the moonlit palace wall. Who knew what was going through her mind at this time?

Lu Zhou added, “However… There’s one person who’s qualified to be the Tower Master of the White Tower Council…”

“Who?” Lan Xihe asked.

“Ye Tianxin,” Lu Zhou said.

“Her?” Lan Xihe recalled the first time she saw the woman in white robes with equally white hair. “If it were before, I would’ve agreed with you…”

Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need to worry about her strength or cultivation base. She’s my disciple; who would dare to touch her?”

Lan Xihe was stunned.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “In any case, there’s no point talking about that now. Whether it’s possible or not will have to depend on the White Tower Council’s performance…”
