My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1576

Chapter 1576 Return (1)

Nighttime.

Lu Zhou was not in the mood to cultivate nor was he in the mood to sleep. After 100 years of cultivating nonstop, it was impossible for him not to feel sick of it.

Right now, he only wanted to enjoy the feeling of being human.

He had people restart the stove to cook a sumptuous dinner and draw a hot bath so he could clean up.

Meanwhile, the four elders were so excited that they did not sleep the whole night.

As for Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng, they excitedly executed Lu Zhou’s orders.

The next morning.

As soon as Kong Wen and his brother learned of Lu Zhou’s return, they tossed their work aside and hurried back to the Evil Sky Pavilion through a runic passage.

Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong were very energetic and led Kong Wen and his brothers to the eastern pavilion.

As soon as Kong Wen and his brother entered the eastern pavilion, they kneeled on one knee and said in unison, “Greetings, Pavilion Master!”

Their voices were ladened with excitement, happiness, and a hint of grievance.

Lu Zhou walked toward them and looked at them. 100 years had passed, but Kong Wen and his brothers still looked the same.

Kong Wen and his brothers looked up at Lu Zhou who had led them all over the Unknown Land in the past. For a moment, they could not help but feel emotional. The Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion had finally returned.

Lu Zhou nodded. “Stand up and speak.”

“Thank you, Pavilion Master.” “How have all of you been all these years?”

After rising to their feet, Kong Wen said, “Everything is fine. It’s just that there was nothing to do in the Evil Sky Pavilion so we left.”

“All of you left the Evil Sky Pavilion because you didn’t want it to attract unwanted attention. I understand,” Lu Zhou said.

Kong Wen said, “There are rumors in the cultivation world that you… that you… have passed away. We didn’t believe it, and we were waiting for your return!”

Lu Zhou nodded. “There’s no need to talk about the past anymore.” Then, he turned to look at Pan Zhong and asked, “Pan Zhong, why haven’t the others returned?”

Lu Zhou’s disciples had been captured so he understood why they were not here. However, it did not make sense for those who were in the nine domains not to be here. After all, the Evil Sky Pavilion had left many runic passages behind.

Pan Zhong said, “It’s possible that they were delayed.”

As soon as Pan Zhong’s voice fell, Hua Wudao appeared outside of the eastern pavilion and said, “Hua Yuexing requests an audience.”

“Enter.”

Hua Yuexing carried her bow and walked in briskly. Her expression was not as exaggerated as Kong Wen and his brothers, but one could clearly see she became more spirited when she saw Lu Zhou. She said in a loud and clear voice, “Hua Yuexing greets the Pavilion Master!”

Lu Zhou gestured for her to stand up. After that, Hua Wudao, who was standing at the side, explained with a smile, “I asked her to stay in the Divine Capital to do some work over the past years. There’s nothing for her to do in the Evil Sky Pavilion after all.”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Your cultivation has improved greatly. It’s truly deserving of praise.”

Hua Yuexing beamed. “Thank you for your praise, Pavilion Master.”

Lu Zhou turned to Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng before he asked, “Is there a reason why the others haven’t returned?”

“They haven’t responded. I guess… something happened?” Pan Zhong said.

“Prepare the flying chariot,” Lu Zhou said solemnly, “I’ll look for them personally.”

Upon hearing this, Pan Zhong was very excited. He said enthusiastically, “Understood!”

The four elders were stunned by Lu Zhou’s decision. With his status and strength, there was no need for him to personally make such a move. The others would return eventually. With this, how could they not follow him wholeheartedly?

The flying chariot was ready. It was the new model that Si Wuya had created before he left. In both speed and space, it was far superior to the cloud-piercing flying chariot of old.

That morning, Lu Zhou led the four elders, Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng, and Hua Yexing to the black lotus domain through the large runic passage.

Lu Zhou decided to bring Zhao Hongfu back first. Since she was skilled in runes, it would be more convenient for them to travel. Such a talent like her was truly indispensable.

At the Dark and Light Alliance in the black lotus domain.

The Five Tigers of the Dark and Light Alliance had long passed away.

The new Alliance Leader of the Dark and Light Alliance was Zhang Bie, who was just an elder in the past.

“Alliance Leader, that Zhao Hongfu isn’t very cooperative. She does things very slowly.”

Zhang Bie turned around to look at his subordinate before he said, “Zhao Hongfu was originally from Great Yuan’s royal court. Later on, she joined the Evil Sky Pavilion. 100 years ago, the Pavilion Master passed away, and the ten disciples have disappeared. Since then, the remaining people are like a pile of loose sand.” He let out a long sigh before he said, “Back then, the Evil Sky Pavilion was like a sun at high noon.”

The subordinate did not understand Zhang Bie’s words. He asked, “Then what should we do now?”

Zhang Bie said, “As the saying goes, ‘A lean camel is still bigger than a horse’. Now that the nine domains are interacting with each other, we’re no longer as alienated as before. Our Dark and Light Alliance is just a small force. We can’t compete with the Evil Sky Pavilion.” Then, he sighed softly again before he said, “Humans all strive to climb up, after all. It’s normal that she looks down on our Dark and Light Alliance. I’ll talk to her in two days. If she really doesn’t want to stay here, I’ll send her back to Great Yuan’s royal court.”

“Understood.” The subordinate bowed.

At the same time, another subordinate walked in and bowed. “King Chen of Wu has arrived.”

“Bring him in.”

Soon after, King Chen of Wu, who was dressed in a luxurious robe, walked in. Two soldiers wielding halberds trailed after him. As soon as he entered the main hall, he cupped his fists and asked, “Brother Zhang, how have you been?”

Zhang Bie stepped forward and asked with a smile, “King Chen, what brings you here?”
