My Disciples Are All Villains
chapter-485

The palm shot at Yu Zhenghai at lightning speed.

Nobody attempted to block this attack from a Nine-leaf cultivator. At this moment, all of them thought Yu Zhenghai was done for.

Yu Zhenghai looked at Lu Zhou who was lunging at him through the air. His consciousness wavered. This strike reminded him of his master. In the end, he closed his eyes. ‘Forget it. Death ends all troubles.’ At this moment, he felt incredibly relaxed. Everything would become the past eventually. He was born with nothing and would not bring anything with him when he died. Why should he stubbornly cling to his life?

Whoosh!

A breeze caressed Yu Zhenghai’s face. He expected the palm strike to split his head, and the troubles and pain would disappear in an instant. However, nothing happened. ‘I’m still alive?’ His thoughts were still with him. He could still control his body. He could still move his fingers.

The entire place was silent. No one dared to move.

Yu Zhenghai opened his eyes. He saw a hand in front of him, only a fist away from him. It did not follow through. He asked in confusion, “Why?”

Lu Zhou retracted his palm. “I’m acquainted with your master. I’m only here because of another person’s request.”

Yu Zhenghai, Si Wuya, Hua Chongyang, and the others were shocked.

Inside the great hall, Shen Liangshou and the others who were slowly making their way toward them heard this as well. They pulled long faces. After all this trouble, Nine-leaf Lu was on the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch’s side? They knew each other? That was quite a fright they had!

Yu Zhenghai asked, “Did he ask you to come?”

“He did.” Lu Zhou nodded.

Yu Zhenghai frowned deeply and said, “If he sent you here to teach me a lesson, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to disappoint you.” He struggled to his feet with great difficulty before he said, “I won’t submit even if it means I have to die.”

Lu Zhou appeared puzzled as he asked, “Do you hate him so?”

“Hate?” Yu Zhenghai shook his head. “A teacher for a day is a father forever. As a disciple, I have no right to hate my master.”

“What if he has his own reasons for his actions?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Who’s going to care about my reasons, then?” Yu Zhenghai asked loudly, clearly agitated.

“Preposterous.” Lu Zhou wanted to curse at him. However, without the memory crystal, he could not be sure about the truth. If things were truly like what Yu Shangrong, Si Wuya, and Yu Zhenghai had said, there was no doubt he was in the wrong. However, he had a feeling there was more to the matter. He could not think of a reason or motive for Ji Tiandao to commit those acts. Although he was a brash and hot-tempered person, it did not make sense that he raised and nurtured nine outstanding disciples just to kill them.

Lu Zhou’s remark calmed Yu Zhenghai down.

Yu Zhenghai sighed and said, “I admit... I’m not doing his kindness justice.”

Lu Zhou turned to look at Yu Zhenghai. At the end of the day, Yu Zhenghai’s current cultivation base was given by Ji Tiandao.

“Senior Lu, may I have a word?” Yu Zhenghai made an inviting gesture.

Lu Zhou turned back to glance at Miss Conch.

Miss Conch looked at Yu Zhenghai and smiled. “Don’t give up, alright?”

Under the moonlight, her pure and simple smile with her curt advice made Yu Zhenghai tremble. ‘Don’t give up.’ There were many things that he had yet to accomplish. How could he easily think about giving up?

Yu Zhenghai said, “Look after her. I’ll kill anyone who dares touch her.”

This surprised Lu Zhou. His rascal was not as shameless and despicable as he thought.

The two of them walked into the forest.

The moonlight grew dim.

Thud!

As soon as they entered the forest, Yu Zhenghai fell to his knees wordlessly.

Lu Zhou was taken aback. ‘He didn’t recognize me, right? It should be impossible for him to do so...’

As a transmigrator, his personality and temper were very different from Ji Tiandao’s. With the Appearance Alteration Card and the fact that the two of them had not been in contact lately, there should be no way for Yu Zhenghai to recognize him. Even someone as intelligent as Si Wuya could not recognize him. How did Yu Zhenghai recognize him?

“Senior Lu... Please give me six months,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Lu Zhou asked skeptically, “Six months? What do you mean?”

“Since you’re here on my master’s request, I’m sure my master will listen to you,” Yu Zhegnhai said.

“Of course...” Lu Zhou said proudly. “When I met Brother Ji, you were still playing with dirt.”

“That’s why... I humbly ask you to give me six months, Senior Lu. Six months later, regardless of whether I succeed or fail, I will surely go up the mountain and own up to my sins!” said Yu Zhenghai earnestly.

Six months...

Lu Zhou was in no hurry to answer his question. He knew he could easily take Yu Zhenghai away if he so wished, at this moment. However, if he did that, who would deal with the Imperial family?

Previously, he had no intentions of looking for trouble with the Imperial family before this, but time and time again, the Imperial family had provoked the Evil Sky Pavilion.

“Is world dominion that important to you?” Lu Zhou asked.

It was not a good thing for cultivators to be overly covetous of power and position.

Scenes of the past surfaced in Yu Zhenghai’s mind before he replied, “It is!”

Lu Zhou looked at Yu Zhenghai and said, “I can spare you... but you’ll have to answer my questions.”

“Let’s hear them, Senior Lu.”

“First, where’s your master’s memory crystal?”

“Rongxi. Lou Lan,” Yu Zhenghai answered curtly.

“Where is it, exactly?”

“I don’t know.”

“Second, what’s sealed within the memory crystal?” This was one of the answers Lu Zhou wanted to know the most. Since he could not find it at the moment, he chose to ask about it for now.

Yu Zhenghai replied in a slightly uncertain tone, “It should be the same as Yun Tianluo. As for the other memories... nobody knows.”

Lu Zhou nodded and asked again, “Final question, why are you so cold toward your master?” In other words, what drove a wedge between the both of them?

Yu Zhenghai answered, “I’m not being cold. I merely have no choice.”

“Oh? Just because you’re from the Wuqi Tribe? Or is it because you’ve had a hard life since young?” Lu Zhou asked.

Yu Zhenghai was shocked. He looked up at the old man before him, dumbfounded.

Lu Zhou said, “I’ve heard something from Yu Shangrong. Is Brother Ji trying to study the Nine-leaf stage through both of you?”

Yu Zhenghai did not expect the old man to know this much about the Evil Sky Pavilion. After a moment of silence, he nodded and replied, “That’s true.”

“Alright.” Lu Zhou increasingly felt that the matters between the nine disciples and Ji Tiandao were becoming more and more complicated.

At this very moment, a melodious tune from a flute reached them from the Nether Sect branch’s great hall. The melody was mellow and pleasant. Many pairs of blue eyes appeared among the trees.

The flute sounded louder and louder. It was full of vigor.

The beasts inside the forest crept closer.

“The lady who knows the tongue and tune of beasts?” Yu Zhenghai said in shock.
