My Disciples Are All Villains

Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, would be valuable to Lu Zhou. He would be able to gain merit points from Old Eighth before he disciplined him as well. Apart from that, Old Eighth rarely committed crimes on his own accord. Usually, it was Si Wuya, Old Seventh, who instigated Old Eighth into acting. It was rumored that Old Seventh’s Darknet was located at the Crouching Dragon, and yet, nobody had ever found it. All they knew was the Darknet was everywhere and their network of information was very wide. It would be difficult to catch Old Seventh.

Moreover, Lu Zhou had more pressing needs. He needed to improve his strength first and foremost. Rumor was rife that he was going to meet his end in ten years. Everyone was just waiting for him to die.

In fact, with humans’ greed, there would be people who would not even wait ten years. It was possible that someone would come and attempt to get their hands on the Evil Sky Pavilion’s treasures in five, seven, or eight years. After all, most people thought Lu Zhou’s cultivation base was deteriorating as well.

Therefore, it was of utmost importance for Lu Zhou to improve his strength. There was no doubt an endless stream of cultivators would be coming for him. At that time, just relying on the item cards would not be enough for him to deal with so many cultivators.

After a while, Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin and said, “He got lucky and escaped when we were at Green Jade Altar. I think Old Seventh is planning something by sending this letter. I want you to investigate this.”

When Mingshi Yin heard this, he beamed and said, “Yes, master! I’ll carry out this task perfectly.”

“Old Fourth, I think it’s better if I go with you. Old Eighth might seem stupid, but he’s really sly.”

“There’s no need to kill the chicken with a butcher’s knife. I’ll try and investigate Old Seventh’s plot for now… When the time is ripe, we’ll capture the two of them together,” Mingshi Yin said.

“Repent?” Zhu Honggong shuddered. His expression was one of incredulity as he said, “With master’s temper, wouldn’t he flay my skin and pull out my tendons?”

Mingshi Yin placed his hands on his back and said, “That’s possible. Who knows what goes through master’s mind these days. It depends on your luck. If master’s not in a good mood when you return, there’s nothing you can do about it…”

Mingshi Yin recalled the scene where Zuo Xinchan and Li Qing, one of the Three Godly Archers who was also a member of the Black Knights, were killed with just a single palm strike.

“Uh… Knowing that, you’re still trying to convince me to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion and repent?”

“You don’t have a say in this!” Mingshi Yin said with a smile. “You shouldn’t wait for master to personally make a move… Ren Buping, the Master of Fiend Temple Master, was killed by master with just a single palm strike.”

“What?!” Zhu Honggong was even more frightened when he heard this. If he returned, would he not be turned into a meat pie?

Mingshi Yin continued to study Zhu Honggong. He did not expect Old Eighth would be so stubborn. It seemed like Old Seventh had successfully brainwashed him.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to return with me. Tell me where the Crouching Dragon where the Darknet is located…”

“Yi Province.”

“You dumb pig, be more specific! You might as well say it’s in Great Yan,” Mingshi Yin said irritably as he gave Zhu Honggong another kick.

“How would I know? Seventh Senior Brother has always been secretive with his movements. If I can easily find him, would I need to fear the Clarity Sect?” Zhu Honggong said with an aggrieved expression.

“Dream on. Do you think that Old Seventh is omnipotent?”

Mingshi Yin’s voice had barely faded when a figure slowly entered the stronghold.

The small fries instantly made way for him.

At this moment, silence descended on the stronghold.

Mingshi Yin and Zhu Honggong looked at the newcomer.

“Old Seventh?”

“Seventh Senior Brother?”

Speak of the devil.

Si Wuya was smiling as he walked. He wore long robes and a brocade crown on his head. It seemed like he was dressed for an official ceremony. He cupped his fists at Mingshi Yin and said, “Greetings, Fourth Senior Brother…”

Mingshi Yin did not like Si Wuya very much. He looked away and sat down without paying much attention to Si Wuya. He said, “You dare show your face here?”

“If master had come here, I wouldn’t show myself. Since it’s you, it’s fine if I show myself…”
