My Disciples Are All Villains

The cultivators in the pavilion scattered. They looked at the incoming cage and exchanged glances among themselves.

“Run! That’s the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great villain!”

“The Evil Sky Pavilion’s villain is here?”

“What are you still standing there for? You good-for-nothing, you wet your pants?”

At this moment, the cultivators finally realized who the young lady who had easily made it to the ninth floor was. Young lady of a rich family, well-educated, and well-rounded girl… Nonsense! Nothing was more terrifying than a polite villain!

The cowardly cultivators’ knees buckled. It was difficult for them to move.

At this moment, more than half of the cultivators had disappeared. Only a brave few remained hidden behind the pillars.

Meanwhile, Yanzi Yunsan took off, shooting through the forest.

“Yunsan…” A voice rang from behind Yunsan. He turned around instinctively and was greeted by the sight of Bi An baring its fangs and claws as it charged at him.

Lu Zhou stood on Bi An’s back. His energy shield was streamlined.

“Sh*t!” Primal Qi surged out of Yunsan’s body, and he ran even faster.

Bi An lunged as it roared loudly.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Several trees crashed in Bi An’s wake. In just a second, it knocked into Yunsan’s back.

Bam!

Yunsan grunted in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell forward. Then, he suddenly vanished into thin air.

“A ground escape technique?!” Lu Zhou ordered Bi An to stop. He was in no hurry at all.

The second and third cages reached Yunsan at this moment as well.

Lu Zhou understood ground escape techniques very well. When the cultivator was underground, his speed would decrease tremendously, and the consumption of his Primal Qi would increase.

With Bi An here, Yunsan would be hard-pressed to escape even if he sprouted wings.

The second cage dropped down 20 meters before Lu Zhou. Then, it vanished. The hit was not triggered.

The third cage arrived. It was like a net that covered heaven and earth. Web-like lines appeared on the ground and zeroed in on the target from all directions. Clearly, the hit rate had been triggered this time.

This was extremely reminiscent of the situation back in the Evil Sky Pavilion when the Binding Cage captured Fan Xiuwen. It was as impressive, if not more.

Although the Evil Sky Pavilion was spacious, it could not compare to nature itself.

Lu Zhou saw that the landing spot of the third cage was different from the second cage even though it was not by much. It moved about 20 meters forward before it dropped down.

From the skies, it was like a net was dropped onto the dense forest. Hundreds of trees were instantly fell by the web. The fallen trees and debris were caught in the net until the net suddenly transformed into a square cage, and they were all ejected.

Soon enough, a square patch of barren land was formed in the middle of the forest.

Bzzt –

The golden shining cage seemed to be electrified as it sank into the ground.

“Ahh!” A loud wail rang from below ground.

The Binding Cage had captured its mark.

Lu Zhou ordered Bi An to descend. After he dismounted, Bi An obediently trotted to the side and sat down.

Lu Zhou walked over to where the cage had landed with his hands on his back.

Cultivators who were imprisoned by the Binding Cage would have their cultivation bases sealed. It was the same for Fan Xiuwen. Therefore, Lu Zhou was not afraid of Yunsan escaping. He waited patiently as he stroked his beard.

It did not take long before Yunsan’s deep and muffled cries rang from beneath the ground. He… He seemed to be crying…

Lu Zhou projected his voice. “Yunsan, are you still trying to run away?”

Yunsan did not seem capable of talking apart from crying.

Lu Zhou waved his arm. Bi An gave a guttural growl as though it was excited. Then, it ran over and began clawing at the ground.

In no time at all, Bi An dug Yunsan out of the ground.

Yunsan was so frightened that he called for his parents when Bi An bared its fangs at him.

“No, no, no… Old senior! Have mercy! Please spare me, old senior!” Yunsan kept begging for mercy. When he saw the greatest villain standing beside him, he could not help but tremble. He had never been this afraid in his entire life. He wanted to move, but he could not. He was firmly bound by a shackle that seemed to be molded to his body.

“Take him away.” With that, Bi An carried Yunsan between its jaws.

…

Meanwhile, everyone, apart from Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Little Yuan’er, waited anxiously in Skylark Pagoda.

After a while, Lady Jade finally said, “The old senior is advanced in age. Isn’t it a bit too much for him to personally capture Yunsan?”

Mingshi Yin said confidently, “You don’t have to worry. Master’s abilities can shock the heavens. I’d be damned if Yunsan can escape from this.”

“I meant no offense, please forgive me.”

…

Lu Zhou rode on Bi An and returned to Skylark Pagoda from the north.

Bi An could be seen carrying a person in its jaws. It was the only successor of the Pickpocket Sect who was running away just moments ago, Yanzi Yunsan.

The cultivators who did not run away witnessed this scene.

“Yunsan is caught!”

“The only successor of the Pickpocket Sect is caught!”

Somehow, the Evil Sky Pavilion earned the respect of these cultivators. The sole successor of the Pickpocket Sect was renowned for his cunning. He was even capable of escaping the joint pursuit of the elites from the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects after he stole from them.

In terms of cunning, he was much more cunning than the leader of the Black Knights, Fan Xiuwen. Fan Xiuwen had strength on his side, and he could deal with various situations easily. Yunsan, on the other hand, was in the Divine Court realm. He could be regarded as peerless for being able to achieve this.

Lady Jade stood up suddenly.

Hua Yuexing tightened her grip on her bow instinctively. Her knuckles whitened.

Bi An flew into Skylark Pagoda and spat Yunsan out. It did not care about Yunsan’s life.

Lady Jade was in awe.

“Your amazing powers know no bounds throughout the ages”

‘It’s one thing to say that his powers know no bounds, but what’s with throughout the ages?’

While they waited on the pagoda, Lady Jade felt that Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuan’er were normal. However, Mingshi Yin was unpredictable with his scathing remarks that were capable of sowing discord.

Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuan’er merely bowed.

Lady Jade bowed and said, “That’s a shocking display of strength, old senior. It’s a breathtaking sight to witness.”

Hua Yuexing cupped her fists without saying anything.

Lu Zhou walked up to the stone table, stroked his beard, and sat down. His gaze fell on Yunsan who was lying on the floor. “Yunsan, I’ll be asking you questions… All you have to do is to answer them.”

“Yes, yes…” Yunsan got up with great difficulty and kneeled on the floor. He did not even dare to breathe heavily.

“Where are the remaining Sky Fragments?” Lu Zhou asked.

Yunsan gulped. He lowered his head and answered, “Three of them are in the palace, but two of them were placed in Skylark Pagoda… One of them is in the Clarity Sect’s Mo Qi’s hands. The other one is with the Temple of Great Emptiness…”

The Temple of Great Emptiness’s Sky Fragment must have been the one that was given to the Heaven Choice Temple’s monk, Xu Liao. As for the three fragments in the palace, Little Yuan’er had obtained two of them, and Jiang Aijian had removed one from the warehouse. There were still three fragments unaccounted for.

Lu Zhou remained silent. He waited for Yunsan to continue.

Yunsan looked up and stole a glance at Lady Jade who was sitting at the side. He spoke again, “The other three…” He stammered and could not string a full sentence together.

Mingshi Yin went up and kicked him. “Stop dallying! Spit it out!”

Yunsan muttered, “I… I should… Should I say it or not…” He did not know if he should reveal what he knew.

At this moment, Lady Jade who sat at the opposite side of the stone table, said coldly, “Don’t you even know what you should and shouldn’t say?”

Lu Zhou shifted his gaze from Yunsan to Lady Jade. “Do you know how I know he’s Yunsan?”

Lady Jade’s heart skipped a beat. However, the smile on her face did not falter as she said, “I’m only a woman who knows nothing about cultivation. I have no idea.”

Realization dawned on Mingshi Yin at this moment. He smiled as he said, “I get it.”

“Explain it to them.” Lu Zhou was feeling lazy to speak at length.

“The hooks, kite, and the contraptions in the river had to be set up beforehand… Since Skylark Pagoda’s master is from the Divine Capital, he could easily be involved with the people from the palace. Yunsan alone couldn’t have done that. This means there’s someone else backing Yunsan…” Mingshi Yin said.

Lady Jade applauded and said, “That makes sense… If that’s the case, who could it be?”

“Someone who holds a grudge against the Evil Sky Pavilion. Someone who knows Skylark Pagoda well…” Mingshi Yin said.

At this moment, Yunsan suddenly leaped out of the window.

Exclamations of shock could be heard at the bottom of the pagoda.

Hua Yuexing said angrily, “Running away? Not so fast!” She pulled on her bowstring. Energy surged and formed a shining golden arrow.

Twang!

Han Yuexing did all this in a breath.

Bam!

The Overlord Spear’s thousands of shadows blocked the arrow. Duanmu Sheng did a somersault in the air and shattered Hua Yuexing’s energy arrow.

Meanwhile, the scarlet Nirvana Sash shot out and caught Yunsan in midair.

Little Yuan’er pulled the sash tautly as though Yunsan was a kite she was flying. She said with a smile, “Master… Isn’t that amazing?”

Yunsan’s cultivation base had been sealed. He could not run away even if he leaped out of the window like this. In that case, why did he try to run?

Lu Zhou looked at Hua Yuexing and said, “Were you trying to silence him?”

Hua Yuexing took a step back. She trembled. “I dare not. I merely wanted to help you, old senior!” Indeed, she was a Godly Archer, but in close quarters, Duanmu Sheng could take her life away at any moment.

Skylark Pagoda was now eerily silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Even Lady Jade found it difficult to breathe. She did not expect things to turn out his way.

Lu Zhou rose to his feet and walked to the edge of the pagoda with his hands on his back. He looked at Yunsan, who was suspended in midair, and said, “Do you think I won’t know just because you don’t say it?”

After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he raised a hand and condensed energy on his palm…

At this moment, Hua Yuexing’s bow began to shake.

Bzzt!

“Old senior!” Hua Yuexing was shocked.

Bam!

A green figure flashed before Hua Yuexing. Mingshi Yin’s sudden palm strike landed on her.

Hua Yuexing grunted and reeled back as her bow flew toward Lu Zhou.
