My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 979: The White Tower Council’s Judge

Based on Shen Xi’s understanding of the Black Tower Council, the Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator guarding the runic passage had to be cunning and good at hiding. With his ability, it was indeed slightly difficult to find the guard.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou looked at the mountains and the clouds in the sky as he stroked his beard and nodded. He admired the scenery around, clearly not anxious.

During his journey here, Lu Zhou had checked in on Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai and found that the duo was still trapped in the triangular barrier from the flag formation. He saw the large number of beasts prowling outside the barrier as well, clearly waiting for a chance to devour the duo.

When Shen Xi saw Lu Zhou’s indifferent expression, he could not help but ask, “Pavilion Master, are you… do you not feel anxious at all?”

“No, I’m not anxious. The scenery isn’t bad. I haven’t had a chance to admire them for a long time now,” Lu Zhou replied as he continued stroking his beard.

Shen Xi. “…”

After a while, Lu Zhou asked, “The runic passage is in that forest?”

“Yes, I’m sure of that.”

Then, Lu Zhou nodded and walked toward the forest with his hands on his back. When he was near the forest, startling a flock of birds into flying away. He came to halt and began to chant the mantra for the power of hearing.

In just a blink of an eye, the range of his hearing covered the entire forest. Every single sound did not escape him.

It was extremely quiet in the forest at this moment. If there were someone in there, he would be able to hear the person’s breathing and heartbeat. Unless the guard knew that Lu Zhou and Shen Xi were coming and had intentionally hidden himself just like how Wu Chao had feigned the state of death to escape discovery.

‘Hmm?’ Lu Zhou could not help but feel that something was amiss. He cut off the power of hearing and walked forward.

Shen Xi followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the edge of the forest, Lu Zhou chanted the incantation for the power of hearing again.

Soon enough, he heard the sound of Primal Qi surging from the distant horizon; it did not come from the forest.

Lu Zhou cut off the power of hearing and looked up immediately. He saw a white pillar of light shooting out from the sky into the forest.

Boom!

The pillar of light was clearly powerful. When it hit the ground, the earth and the mountains shook.

Shen Xi exclaimed in shock, “A judge from White Tower Council!”

Soon enough, Lu Zhou saw two white figures flying over from the distance.

One of the figures held a huge white astrolabe in front of him that emitted a dazzling light.

Boom!

The white astrolabe shot out another beam of light.

It was clear the two figures’ target was the small forest.

Boom!

The earth trembled and cracks spread from the spot where the pillars of light landed. Many trees fell as the cracks grew bigger and bigger.

At this moment, a black figure dashed out of the forest and ran away at lightning speed.

“It’s the guard!” Shen Xi exclaimed.

“Don’t make a move yet…” Lu Zhou stopped Shen Xi.

Shen Xi knew that it was not wise to make a move now as well.

At this moment, the two white figures swooped down slightly before one of them manifested their avatar.

Buzz!

An Eight Chart Thousand Realms Whirling avatar!

Indeed, this was the level of a judge.

Lu Zhou and Shen Xi continued to look at the white avatar in the sky.

At this moment, the astrolabe suddenly increased hundreds of times in size, almost covering the entire sky.

“Show no mercy to the people from the Black Tower Council!”

Following that, the astrolabe fell toward the guard from the Black Tower Council before it released a beam of light.

Lu Zhou thought it quite resembled the laser cannons on earth being fired. It seemed like the judge from the White Tower Council was much stronger than Wu Guangping. He knew the guard had no chance of surviving at all.

At the same time, the astrolabe kept releasing the Birth Chart power, creating deep pits one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shen Xi asked with a worried expression on his face, “Pavilion Master, why don’t we hide for a while?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “In this world, only others hide from me, I don’t hide from them.”

Lu Zhou was rather confident facing experts from both the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Councill, hence, he did think there was a need to hide.

Shen Xi knew Lu Zhou had only four Birth Charts so he thought Lu Zhou’s source of confidence had to come from having some trump cards and tricks up his sleeve since he seemed unafraid of the judge. After all, he still remembered how Lu Zhou had killed Wu Guangping. With this thought in mind, he felt more at ease.

After a moment, peace was restored after the one-sided battle ended. In fact, it probably could not be called a battle. Moreover, the judge was only attacking one area with his Birth Chart power.

At this moment, the two figures appeared near the forest.

The person walking in the lead was a middle-aged man with a beard. A slightly younger man who looked to be Shen Xi’s age walked behind him.

Lu Zhou’s attention was focused on the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man’s eyes were rather lifeless, not betraying any emotions at all. He had the appearance of a cultivator from the school of Taoism When he finally arrived in front of Lu Zhou, his eyes were still lifeless. After coming to a stop 30 meters away, he said, “Those who have no business here, leave!”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he asked, “You’re the judge from the White Tower Council?”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and his ears twitched upon hearing Lu Zhou’s voice. Then, he said with a faint smile, “Your voice sounds old, but your aura is full of vitality. Your potential is rather high. Are you a golden lotus cultivator?”

With this, Lu Zhou realized the person before him was blind. To be able to distinguish directions, environment, and a person’s voice proved that the person was not simple.

After a beat, Lu Zhou said, “Yes. I’m a golden lotus cultivator. You haven’t answered my question…”

The middle-aged man cupped his fists together and bowed slightly before saying, “I’m Ning Wanqing, a judge of the White Tower Council.”

Lu Zhou felt as though he was caught between a rock and a hard place. If he went to the red lotus domain now, it would give the person in front of him a chance to cause trouble for the Evil Sky Pavilion. Apart from him, there was no other person in the Evil Sky Pavilion who could stop this person. However, if he did not go to the red lotus domain, he would miss the chance to obtain his fifth Birth Chart.

Lu Zhou sighed. The best thing to do now was to deal with the blind man first. Fortunately, there was the runic passage so he would be able to arrive in the red lotus domain quickly. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make so many trips.

After a moment, Lu Zhou asked, “Why did the people from the White Tower Council come to the golden lotus domain?”

“Your words seemed hostile. You can rest assured. Whether it’s the White Tower Council or the Black Tower Council, we don’t kill the innocent,” Ning Wanqian said. He was astute enough to catch the accusation in Lu Zhou’s voice.

Shen Xi said, “That’s true…”

Ning Wanqing’s ears moved again before he said with a faint smile, “This person smells like someone from the Black Tower Council. According to the White Tower Council’s rules, I’ll have to bring him back with me.”

Shen Xi took a step back. He, naturally, did not dare to show off in front of an Eight Chart expert.

“He’s no longer a member of the Black Tower Council…” Lu Zhou said emotionlessly.

“Hmm?” A hint of surprise could be seen on Ning Wanqing’s face.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard. “You still haven’t answered my question…” He really disliked this way of communicating.

Upon hearing these words, the white-clad young man next to Ning Wanqing exclaimed indignantly, “How dare you! You…”

Before the white-clad young man finished speaking, Lu Zhou struck with his palm.

A palm seal that glowed with a blue light shot toward the white-clad young man.

Although Ning Wanqing could not see the color of the palm seal, he could sense the strange and mysterious power it held. He hurriedly said, “Get out of the way!”

Unfortunately, the white-clad young man did not move away but raised his hands and used his astrolabe to block the palm seal instead.

Boom!

When the palm seal collided with the white astrolabe, it left a dent on the astrolabe and pushed the astrolabe back against the young man’s chest.

The white-clad young man spat out blood and was pushed back more than ten meters before he could stabilize his footing.

Shen Xi nodded and chided himself inwardly, ‘How could I forget the Pavilion Master’s true identity? He’s an expert from the blue lotus domain!’ Naturally, Lu Zhou’s identity was purely his speculation. He did not really know if the blue lotus domain existed.

When Shen Xi looked at the injured member of the White Tower Council, he could not help the hint of satisfaction that rose in his heart even though he was no longer a member of the Black Tower Council.

At this moment, Ning Wanqing broke the silence and said, “Senior, your palm seal is amazing…”

“Ning Wanqing, I don’t have time to waste on you. If you want to live, answer my question,” Lu Zhou said with a hint of impatience.

Ning Wanqing was stunned. No one had ever talked to him in such a manner before. For a moment, he did not know how to react.

Before Ning Wanqing replied, Shen Xi seized the opportunity and said, “I feel like I should inform both of you that the last person who acted arrogant and domineering in front of the Pavilion Master is dead. His name is Wu Guangping.”
