My Disciples Are All Villains

chapter-678
It was slightly difficult for Lu Zhou to try and injure this huge bird with his Eight-leaf cultivation base. Based on the fight between Chu Nan and the beast, he could tell that the manman was a high-rank beast stronger than those at the Eight-leaf stage. Hence, he had gathered some of his extraordinary power in his palms before he attacked.
This was the new fighting method Lu Zhou devised. Since he had an Eight-leaf cultivation base, he decided to not waste that foundation. He would base his attacks on his cultivation base and mix it with extraordinary power. This way, he would be unparalleled among his peers. At the same time, he would be able to save much of his extraordinary power. Clearly, his experiment on the manman was successful. Every palm strike was just right, causing the manman unable to resist.
After dozens of palm seals, the beast was forced out of Mo City to the southeastern direction by Lu Zhou.
The morale of the cultivators in the city skyrocketed. They charged savagely toward the smaller manmans.
Some of the cultivators moved to the Eyes of the Formation, intending to mend the barrier.Meanwhile, Chu Nan was still as stunned as a wooden chicken. He kept muttering about how his horizons had been widened.
The cultivator who had declined Lu Zhou’s invitation earlier was stunned as well. “The old mister is powerful! He resembles the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch...”
“The Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch?” Chu Nan looked over.
“Although the old mister looks younger, the way he strikes with his palms and his way of doing things resemble the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch.”
“Do you know much about the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Chu Nan was puzzled.
“I know a little about them... The Evil Sky Pavilion’s Patriarch is the person whom I respect the most. He’s a master of palm seals. When the Evil Sky Pavilion dealt with the Taixu Academy’s Lin Xin, I was watching on Dangyang Peak. The Eight-leaf Lin Xin was not even worthy enough for the patriarch to make a move. After Lin Xin’s death, the patriarch’s Abandon Wisdom shattered the barriers of the Taixu Academy that they prided themselves on.”
Chu Nan said, “You have a point... Young man, I can tell you’re braver than most. Have you ever thought about joining the Luo Sect?”Upon hearing this, the young man was inwardly delighted. He said, “I’m used to being free and unfettered. Even if the patriarch himself is here, I won’t easily join his sect. When the old mister extended an invitation to me earlier, I turned him down politely. However, considering how chaotic the world is now, it’s better to have a place to return to than to remain like rootless duckweed. I’d be extremely grateful if you’d recommend me, grand elder.”
“Very well.” Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction. He enjoyed being flattered in that manner.
At this moment, two young cultivators flew toward them and landed beside them.
“Congratulations, Xiao Yun.”
“You can look after us now that you’re joining the Luo Sect.”
Xiao Yun, the sectless cultivator, nodded.
Chu Nan said, “All of you are talented. If you’re willing, you may join the sect as well.”
Upon hearing these words, the cultivators were delighted. They bowed and said in unison, “Thank you, grand elder!”
...
The manmans above Mo City were cleared away by the collective effort of the cultivators.
The skies were clear again, and peace was restored.
100 cultivators flew westward. They hovered in the air and looked down at the spot where the huge manman crashed down.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou’s final palm strike defeated the manman. He did not put much extraordinary power in his palm seals. At most, it could only push his targets away. However, coupled with the black runes on Unnamed, he managed to sever its other wing.
The manman could no longer fly. It flapped its wings as it crashed onto the ground, stirring up a violent sandstorm and rocks.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The rocks hit the city walls, leaving dents on them.
The manman was furious!
The cultivators were worried that the city walls would crumble. They rose into the air, condensed their Qi into energy, landed on the city wall, and formed a temporary barrier that kept the rocks at bay.
The Eight-leaf Lu Zhou did not worry about the flying rocks. His protective energy kept them at bay.
When Lu Zhou landed, the others cried out, “Old mister, look out!”
“Although you’re a powerful Eight-leaf cultivator, this livestock isn’t like other beasts.”
Based on Chu Nan’s experience, none of them dared to look down on the livestock.
Shortly after, there were no more rocks flying in the air.
A crater formed on the ground by the frenzied flapping of the manman’s wings earlier.
“No matter.” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and calmly stepped forward.
The others were shocked to see this. Elites were, truly, bold.
The 100 cultivators looked on as Lu Zhou stepped forward.
Like before, Unnamed materialized in Lu Zhou’s palm again. The black runes could faintly be seen.
Without using Deadly Strike Cards, Unnamed was a crucial weapon he needed to kill the manman. Relying on his Eight-leaf cultivation base alone would require lots of time and effort.
“Old mister, be careful! Manmans are usually paired. Even if this one dies, there’s still another one!” Xiao Yun shouted from the city wall.
“There’s another one?”
Manmans were biyi birds. They would stay together even in death.
Lu Zhou was still lost in his thoughts as the manman’s talons glowed red, and it lunged toward Lu Zhou.
The others widened their eyes. They could not bear to witness this bloody scene. They knew that the sharp talons could easily tear through a human’s protective energy.
Chu Nan frowned deeply as well. He wanted to jump down and help.
At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly struck with his palm. The Eight Trigrams expanded under his feet, and Six seals emerged from him.
The Six Compatible Seal burst forth! The Nine scripts formed a connected circle and struck the wound on the manman’s wing in succession.
The palm seal sent it flying in the air for a brief moment.
The others watched with their jaws dropped. This series of attacks was not possible without rich combat experience. As fellow Eight-leaf cultivators, they understood the techniques and skills required to pull this off. This was not something one could achieve by just relying on luck alone.
“If there’s one, I’ll kill it. If there’s a pair, I’ll kill them.” Lu Zhou moved swiftly. He was only the size of the manman’s feather, causing him to look like an ant trying to shake a tree.
The others held their breaths as they continued to watch.
Before the manman dropped to the ground again, Lu Zhou raised his hand that held Unnamed.
An energy sword burst forth and rose sharply into the air!
The shining golden energy sword seemed to be covered in a dark aura as the black runes swirled around it.
“What’s that?”
“Fiend Zen?”
“If Fiend Zen is used for righteous motives, it’s righteous!”
The instant the energy sword expanded, it stabbed the manman’s body. An anguished cry resounded across the city immediately.
“This...”
“Amazing!”
“Although the old mister is only at the Eight-leaf stage, he achieved so much with so little effort. This is what an elite should be like!”
From afar, it was as though Lu Zhou had brought a sword down from above and sliced through a colossal beast.
...
In the distant forest west of Mo City.
A cry was heard.
The manmans came flying over.
“Here they come!”
The 100 cultivators barely had the time to revel in Lu Zhou’s powers when they turned their gazes toward the forest.
“Old mister, stand back!”
Lu Zhou put Unnamed away. Then, he appeared above the injured manman that was trashing on the ground.
Many smaller manmans came flying from the trees.
“Ready.” The cultivators on the city walls shouted again.
At this moment, from the southern side of Mo City, a cultivator shouted excitedly, “Here comes the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion!”
“The Evil Sky Pavilion is here!”
The cultivators were excited. They looked westward.
On the horizon, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s cloud-splitting chariot dragged a long tail behind itself as it sped forward.
Lu Zhou looked at the flying chariot and frowned. He told Si Wuya to keep a low profile. Why did the Evil Sky Pavilion suddenly appear here?
The cultivators in Mo City hovered in the air and waited silently for the chariot.
Shortly after, the flying chariot stopped above Mo City.
Chu Nan led the others to greet them.
“We weren’t expecting anyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion. Please forgive our lack of hospitality, senior!”
At this moment, a person stepped out of the flying chariot. It was Si Wuya with the four elders behind him.
Si Wuya did not even look at Chu Nan before he descended. “Master!”
Chu Nan and Xiao Yun were taken aback.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and glanced at Si Wuya. He said, “I can deal with this. What are you doing here instead of looking after Liang Province?”
Si Wuya said in a hushed tone, “Master, I don’t think this matter is so simple... I discovered something new.”
“Something new?”
“I found this at where the manmans made their nests.” Si Wuya produced a talisman.
The talisman was drawn with red runes.
Lu Zhou frowned.
Si Wuya continued to say, “I suspect the people from the red lotus domain are already here. Since there are Nine-leaf cultivators in the red lotus domain, I’m sure they’re much more advanced in cultivation bases and the research on the red lotus than we are. The red coffins are their inventions as well. Hence, it’s highly possible that they’ve arrived in the golden lotus domain.”
At this moment, another huge manman appeared and made a shocking move. It dove and grabbed the injured manman with its claws before it took flight again.
Meanwhile, the smaller manmans were charging toward Mo City.
Lu Zhou glanced at them and said, “Guard Mo City with the four elders for now. I’ll be back!”
“Understood!” Si Wuya bowed.
Lu Zhou stepped into the air and chased after the two huge manmans. He said gruffly, “Livestocks! I’d like to see where you’re going to run to!”
In just an instant, Lu Zhou and the two huge manmans disappeared in the horizon.
Above Mo City, the cultivators watched with complicated gazes. They were greatly shaken.
“Chu Nan? Is that you?” the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Pan Litian called out. He recognized Chu Nan right away.
Chu Nan gulped before he hastily said, “Elder Pan!”
The 100 cultivators bowed at the same time.
“What are you doing here?” Pan Litian asked, “I remember you were like the sun at high noon in the Luo Sect.”
Chu Nan waved his hand and said sheepishly, “That’s all in the past. Don’t embarrass me. Elder Pan... That old master is...”
Pan Litian shook his head speechlessly. “Do you even have to ask? It’s the pavilion master himself!”
