My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 896 - Regaining Control Over Great Tang



Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Tell me your thoughts."

Li Yunzheng kowtowed and said, "Master, I'm still young. I'll listen to whatever Teacher says."

"Oh?" Lu Zhou turned to look at Si Wuya.

Si Wuya said, "Master, Li Yunzheng is still young. He's too indecisive and rash to deal with matters now. He has all the weaknesses that shouldn't be present in a ruler. To prevent accidents, I'll make a pact with him..."

Lu Zhou raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "This is a matter between both of you so I won't get involved. Moreover, there's no need for me to worry about you."

Si Wuya felt something stir in his heart. He bowed and said, "Thank you, master. Everything is ready now. We're only waiting for master..."

Lu Zhou nodded and asked, "What do you need me for?"

"Master just needs to sit on the highest chair in the room. There's no need for you to do anything; you can leave everything to me," Si Wuya replied.

"When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow."

"No. After three days," Lu Zhou said.

"It'll be as you said then, master. We'll leave in three days." Si Wuya did not question why he had to do everything according to his master's wishes and leave in three days.

After using the Heavenly Writing Power a few times to check in on his disciples, Lu Zhou needed some time to replenish his supreme mystic power. Apart from that, he also had to confirm if the replenishing rate for the supreme mystic power had changed as well.

When Lu Zhou saw that Si Wuya had yet to take his leave, he asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else?"

Si Wuya placed the ancient map in front of Lu Zhou and spread it out. "This is the ancient map that master instructed disciple to bring from the eastern pavilion. This ancient map is rather miraculous. It has the complete outlines of the red lotus domain and the golden lotus domain. Please have a look, master."

Lu Zhou looked at the ancient map.

The outlines of the red lotus domain and the golden lotus domain were as he had expected. They were similar.

"In your opinion, where is the black lotus domain?" Lu Zhou asked.

Si Wuya said, "The overlapping part between the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain is the Black Water Mystic Cave; behind the Four Great Forests is the unknown place; the place we traveled using the Sky Shuttle is the Endless Ocean. After studying the ancient books, I discovered the Endless Ocean is even more vast than we imagined it to be…"

Li Yunzheng who had always been interested in the matter chimed in, "I've read about it in the ancient books as well. They said that the Endless Ocean is like its name; it's endless and has no boundaries.."

Si Wuya asked, "What kind of sea is endless?"

Li Yunzheng shook his head.

Lu Zhou, who retained his knowledge from earth, said, "A sea that goes around in a circle?"

"Master is wise. I suspect that the lands known to humans are all surrounded by the Endless Ocean..." Si Wuya said confidently.

Li Yunzheng seemed stunned by these words.

"Master, you once saw a black lotus cultivator in the Sky Wheel Mountain Range. As it happens, the Sky Wheel Mountain Range is symmetrical to the bottomless abyss in golden lotus domain." Si Wuya raised his hand and pointed from the Heaven's Moat to the bottomless abyss and the Black Water Mystic Cave before his finger stopped at the Sky Wheel Mountain Range. Then, he continued to say, "This curved line extends to both sides. Therefore, regardless if it's the black lotus domain or the blue lotus domain, they should be located somewhere on the line!"

Li Yunzheng opened his eyes as if he had just discovered a new world. "..."

Lu Zhou was also shocked by Si Wuya's deduction. He had never thought of it that way.

The Literary Star Hall was as silent as a graveyard after Si Wuya finished speaking.

When Si Wuya saw his master keeping quiet, he assumed his master was displeased because he had mentioned the blue lotus domain. He fell to one knee and said, "I shouldn't have made wild speculations…"

Lu Zhou's eyes were still fixed on the ancient map as he stroked his beard and said, "No, your deductions are reasonable. I have no reason to be displeased… Rise to your feet and speak…"

"Understood."

Li Yunzheng could not help but say in admiration, "Teacher, your deductions really widened my horizons."

Lu Zhou said, "Keep an eye on this matter. If there's any new development, report to me immediately. Apart from that, I have two tasks for you."

"Master, please speak."

"First, the Black Tower Council from the black lotus domain is using formations to monopolize the Birth Chart Beasts in the red lotus domain. I suspect they'll target the golden lotus domain soon. Second, there must be something wrong with Zhao Yue's cultivation speed. You should investigate the matter quietly," Lu Zhou said.

"Understood." Si Wuya was planning to research the black lotus domain anyway even without his master's orders. Before he left the golden lotus domain, he had left behind the technique to communicate between the domains so he could investigate the matter regarding his senior sister discreetly. Moreover, it was also impossible to run to the front lines to investigate now that he was here.

Lu Zhou finally said, "You may leave."

"I'll take my leave then." Si Wuya bowed. Seeing that Li Yunzheng was still transfixed by the ancient map, he gestured to Li Yunzheng before leaving the Literary Star Hall.

After the duo left, Lu Zhou looked at the system interface.

Merit points: 16,320

Remaining lifespan: 961,438 days (2,434 years, in which 110 years are obtained from Reversal Cards)

Items: Rudimentary Enhanced Deadly Strike Card x1, Impeccable Card x1, Critical Block Card x58(passive), Golden Taixu Mirror, Appearance Alteration Card x2, Shining Stone x1, Fire Spirit Stone x3, Reversal Card x77

Mounts: Whitzard, Bi'an, Ji Liang(resting), Qiong Qi, Dang Kang

Weapon: Unnamed(unknown), Jade Horsetail Whisk(heaven-grade), Magistrate Brush(super heaven-grade), Purple Glazed Ceramic(intermediate desolate-grade), Cold Wind Trident(basic desolate-grade), Confinement Seal(intermediate flood-grade), Dragon Eagle's Fury(intermediate desolate-grade), Flash Hook(intermediate desolate-grade)

Lu Zhou noticed that Ji Liang was still resting. From this, it was easy to see that Ji Liang's ability could not be used frequently. He nodded his head in satisfaction at Whitzard that had finished resting. With Whitzard around, he could ensure the replenishment of his supreme mystic power.

"Three fire spirit stones. I have to find an opportunity to ask the Sky Research Court's Wang Dachui to upgrade the Purple Glazed Ceramic," Lu Zhou muttered to himself as he planned his next step.

The originally precious heaven-grade weapons seemed useless now; perhaps, they could be used as forging material.

Apart from Unnamed, the highest grade weapon in his arsenal should be the Confinement Seal.

All these weapons did not seem to be very useful to him since Unnamed could change its form. Naturally, this did not include the Purple Glazed Ceramic.

After upgrading the Purple Glazed Ceramic, he had to think of a way to raise his disciples' cultivation bases, especially Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He needed them to help him to obtain merit points; it was far from enough having to rely on himself.

Just like before, the Myriad Supreme's price was still not displayed. One could only imagine how costly it would be.

Following that, Lu Zhou activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic and closed his eyes, entering the meditative state to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.

Time flew by. In just a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Early in the morning.

Lu Zhou slowly opened his eyes. He had fully replenished his supreme mystic power. His mental and physical state were much better than before as well.

He rose to his feet and did a series of simple exercises.

At this moment, a Sky Martial Court disciple bowed and said from outside of the hall, "Senior Lu, the Sky Shuttle and the flying chariots are ready to depart for the royal court…"

"Alright." Lu Zhou made his way out of the Literary Star Palace.

Once Li Yunzheng regained control of Great Tang, he would be able to push for the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain to unite and fight against the black lotus domain.

It was a necessity for them to regain control of Great Tang.

Apart from the Evil Sky Pavilion's Sky Shuttle, there were another two flying chariots prepared by the Sky Martial Court. After all, due to the large number of people, just the Sky Shuttle alone was not enough to accommodate everyone.

Si Wuya divided the people into two groups. Lu Zhou and the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion would ride on the Sky Shuttle while the others would ride on the flying chariots.

The members of the Sky Martial Court and the Sky Research Court would stay behind.

Soon enough, Lu Zhou arrived near the Sky Shuttle.

The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples bowed. "Greetings, master."

The elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion, including Meng Changdong, greeted in unison, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

"Greetings, Senior Lu."

Lu Zhou waved his hand before he flew into the Sky Shuttle. "There's no need for formalities."

"Let's go,"Si Wuya said.

At this moment, Wang Yun, the Grand Duke of Zhen, thickened the skin on his face and walked to the helm and said, "Senior Lu, leave such menial tasks like manning the helm to me…"

Nie Qingyun who was standing nearby on the deck said, "Do you think it's your turn to man the helm?"

Wang Yun. "..."

Wang Yun had been searching for an opportunity to perform well in front of Lu Zhou so he could save the lives of his son and his granddaughter. Now that his effort was rebuffed, his wizened face flushed red from embarrassment.

Wang Yun thought to himself, 'That's to be expected. He's a Ten-leaf expert, the Sect Master of the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain.' Someone like that was more qualified to man the helm compared to the Grand Dukes.

However, at this moment, Nie Qingyun gestured with his hand and said, "Brother Yu, please…"

Yu Zhenghai glanced at Nie Qingyun and said, "You have a discerning eye. Why don't you be the guardian of my sect in the golden lotus domain? The Nether Sect will definitely not disappoint you…"

Nie Qingyun's eyes brightened immediately as he said, "Then, that's a deal!"

"Alright," Yu Zhenghai said straightforwardly.

The two continued chatting harmoniously.

Wang Yun. "..."

Woof! Woof! Woof!

"Little dog, let's move further away," Mingshi Yin called out to Qiong Qi before he walked to the other side.

At this moment, the Sky Shuttle slowly rose into the sky.

Lu Zhou sat in the Sky Shuttle and looked at his disciples.

Duanmu Sheng leaned against the deck and looked at the Overlord Spear with a determined expression on his face.

Yu Shangrong's hands were empty as he looked down at the mountains.

Conch was standing alone in the wind. No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

Only Little Yuan'er was busy chatting.

Lu Zhou shook his head slightly. These disciples were all unique and independent. It was not easy to teach them.
