My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 639: I’m Back!

Chapter 639: I’m Back!

Lu Zhou had used half of his extraordinary power on this move. He could sense how powerful the red fish was... It was more powerful than the Eight-leaf experts he had encountered.

Abandon Wisdom descended. This palm seal’s size was unprecedented. Even then, the super-sized palm seal... was barely the size of the huge fish.

Boom!

An explosion rang in the air.

From afar, a golden ripple seemed to spread in the sky, releasing countless rings of light.

Splash!

The red fish’s miserable cry rang in the air before it fell into the black water.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. An expression of incredulity could be seen on his face. He could not believe the red fish did not die even though he had used half of his extraordinary power on the attack.

What a powerful creature!

This reminded Lu Zhou of the 10,000-year-old Cheng Huang that Ye Tianxin described.

The size of Cheng Huang had exceeded his understanding at that time. How could he not be shocked when he saw this?

“A creature from the red lotus domain?” Lu Zhou hovered in midair as he surveyed his dark surroundings again.

He fell deep into thought.

If this was the red lotus domain... How were humans supposed to survive in this dark space and boundless black water territory?

Great Yan’s Imperial tutor, the Luo woman, Conch; they were all cultivators from the red lotus domain.

The Luo woman had also described in her notebook that Great Yan was similar to where she was from.

Then, where was this place?

At this moment, he heard a loud splash. He looked up and saw a huge wave that rose even higher than the ones before.

The huge red fish leaped out of the water again with a force much more intense and furious than before.

“Back for revenge?”

Lu Zhou remembered the small red fish and the Red Fish Heart. A small Red Fish Heart gave him 100 years of life. What about... this huge red fish?

Alas, he only had half of his extraordinary power left. If he used it all now, he would be left with nothing.

Although Primal Qi was dense here, it was too dangerous for him to do that. He had no guarantee that other more powerful creatures would not attack him.

“Forget it!” Lu Zhou lifted his right hand. A Deadly Strike Card appeared in his palm. He exerted some force and shattered the item card.

A miniature vortex, swirling anti-clockwise, appeared in his palm.

He struck with his palm...

The Great Seal of Fearlessness!

The Great Seal of Fearless removed fear from the hearts of men and made people feel at ease.

The palm seal illuminated the area within 10,000 meters.

How great was this Great Seal Fearlessness?

For reference, Lu Zhou was only the size of the red fish’s eyeball. However, the gigantic red fish was only the size of a fingernail compared to this Great Seal of Fearlessness.

The entire place was instantly lit up.

Light had always been the best element to dispel darkness and fear.

The immensely large Great Seal of Fearlessness slammed into the red fish’s face.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion resounded in the chasm, causing the black water to surge and roil.

The energy explosion created a brilliant firework display in the dark.

“Ding! Killed the beast, Chi Yao. Reward: 5,000 merit points.”

“...”

This reward... Lu Zhou had difficulty accepting it.

‘Chi Yao? This red fish’s name is Chi Yao?’

The explosion of energy lasted for a while before it finally dissipated.

Lu Zhou watched as parts of Chi Yao’s body dropped into the black water. When he looked up, he saw a red orb floating in the air.

Without a second thought, he dove and extended a hand.

Monk’s Hand Seal!

He immediately grabbed it in his hand.

“Ding! Obtained Chi Yao’s Heart x1.”

“Chi Yao’s Heart provides 1,200 years of life.”

,200 years of life? Was this a coincidence? According to the Luo woman, this was the same amount of life needed to break through to the Nine-leaf stage for Great Yan’s cultivators!

Lu Zhou removed his robes. He wrapped the Red Fish Heart and Chi Yao’s Heart together and carried it on his back. He could hardly care about his appearance at this moment.

Then, he glanced at the message on the dashboard.

“Purchase Deadly Strike Card!”

After purchasing another Deadly Strike Card, he was left with more than 3,000 merit points.

Killing Chi Yao merely rewarded him with 5,000 merit points, but, he had to spend 10,000 merit points on this card.

It was not practical to farm for Chi Yao’s Hearts using item cards.

Lu Zhou purchased this card just in case he was lucky enough to encounter another Chi Yao.

Chi Yao’s Heart...

Based on the system, a cultivator could reach the Nine-leaf stage with this!

He would purchase the Deadly Strike Card to get more Chi Yao’s Hearts even if it cost him 20,000 merit points per card.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhou hovered above the water for a long time, but there was no other Chi Yao. No other beasts emerged as well.

Perhaps, Chi Yao had been territorial so other beasts did not dare to approach.

Chi Yao’s Heart shone through the wrappings.

There were too many hidden secrets in the abyss, but it was too dangerous to remain here.

After muttering to himself for a while, Lu Zhou felt that... it was time for him to return.

He flew up. Whenever he felt the pulling force, he would release some extraordinary power to negate it.

Looking up from below, Lu Zhou resembled a star flying toward the dark sky.

...

Near the 100,000-foot-deep abyss.

There were tents, tables, and chairs scattered around the campground.

Si Wuya was sketching something like a map on the table. Eventually, he finished sketching the outline of the 100,000-foot-deep abyss.

“This is the structure of the top of the 100,000-foot-deep abyss. I’ve flown for about eight days... It’s the widest in the south and narrowest in the north. It’s one-fifth the length of Heaven’s Moat. Guluo Village is here, not far from where we are. The Roulian’s territory is to the west, and it’s blocked by the forest. Due north, past several valleys, is Cloud Rage River. West of Cloud Rage River is Rongbei,” Si Wuya explained.

“What’s all this for?” Mingshi Yin was perplexed.

“Fourth Senior Brother... This is the bigger picture. The abyss is huge, and we can’t see a thing down there. Master will surely be flying around in search of Second Senior Brother, and he might have lost his way. I’ve already stationed some men near the abyss to await master’s return,” Si Wuya explained, “However, the southern part of the abyss is extremely wide. It’s close to Heaven’s Moat, and cultivators can’t approach it easily.”

Mingshi Yin gave him a thumbs up and said, “That’s amazing.”

“Thank you for the praise, Fourth Senior Brother.”

At this moment, Pan Zhong walked over, bowed, and said, “Mister Seventh, there’s a report from the Imperial city. The Eight-leaf cultivator has already been killed by Miss Sixth and the Ancient Saint Cult Master.”

“I see.” Si Wuya nodded.

“The Roulians are probably flustered and frustrated with so many of their elites dead,” Mingshi Yin said.

Si Wuya said, “If all goes well, the 12 allied nations will soon come. Karol was an Eight-leaf-and-a-half cultivator. Once they have a Nine-leaf cultivator, It’ll signal the true coming of the 12 allied nations.”

“They’re only a bunch of misfits.” Mingshi Yin waved his hand dismissively.

At this moment, young Yu Zhenghai emerged from a tent and said, “If I may be so bold as to make a request.”

Mingshi Yin immediately bowed, cupped his fists, and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, our lives will shorten if you talk to us like that... Just tell us what to do.”

“They’re all saying that your cultivation base is the most profound among everyone here. So... I want to spar and cultivate with you. I wonder if you have the time?”

Mingshi Yin. “???”

This... How was he supposed to answer this question? He wished someone would give him the answer!

“I know of an empty space around here. It’s a nice place to spar. I won’t take too much of your time. I can’t help but feel that my saber technique has improved... Hm? Your expression? I’m sorry, did I say something that made you feel uncomfortable?”

Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, please don’t do this... Are you possessed by Second Senior Brother?”

“Possessed?”

“It’s nothing. I’ll go. It’s only a sparring session, right? Let’s go. I’ll spar with you, Eldest Senior Brother.” Mingshi Yin was formulating several detailed plans in which he would be defeated...

...

Ten days passed.

Lu Zhou was numb from all the flying.

If it were not for the glow from Chi Yao’s Heart reminding him that he was ascending, he would have lost all sense of direction. Unfortunately, he did not manage to find Yu Shangrong on this trip.

The airflow would move one around. This element would make it difficult for him to search for Yu Shangrong again. However, he was certain Yu Shangrong was not dead. As long as Yu Shangrong was alive, there was still hope.

Lu Zhou who was lost in his thoughts looked up at this moment and saw a round patch of the sky.

“The moon!”

The appearance of the moon invigorated his mind and senses!

“I’m back!”
