My Disciples Are All Villains

Lu Zhou found Ming Xin’s words absurd. He said, “You think you have the qualifications to bet with me?”

Unnamed’s power had exceeded Lu Zhou’s expectations. It was only a matter of time before he defeated Ming Xin. After all, Ming Xin’s Scales of Justice had been destroyed, and the Great Stone of Natural Law was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Banner. It was impossible for Ming Xin to fight for a long time relying on a soul. Hence, there was no need for Lu Zhou to bet with Ming Xin at all.

Ming Xin lowered his head and looked at the humongous whirlpool and said, “You Yin can support me long enough for the reconstruction of the Sacred Region to be completed. Unholy One, do you think I’m unaware of the reasons you keep accepting students and disciples?”

Lu Zhou asked skeptically, “What do you think you know?”

“You want to use the ten great laws to gain immortality. Am I right?” Ming Xin chuckled and said, “There’s no one here but us. There’s no need for you to pretend to be glorious and magnificent.”

Lu Zhou scoffed and said, “Since you’ve entered the Great Maelstrom before, you should know that the shackles aren’t simple at all.”

Ming Xin’s tone grew more and more solemn as he said, “It’s precisely because it’s not simple that you had to try again and again… It’s understandable if one person disliked you and left, but all Four Supremes disliked you and left you. Don’t you think you should reflect on yourself?”

“Basta*rd,” Lu Zhou raised his voice and reprimanded Ming Xin like an elder, “It’s not your place to tell me how to discipline and teach my students and disciples. Why didn’t Xuanyi betray me? Why didn’t my ten disciples betray me? The problem lies with that group of animals!”

Ming Xin retorted, “That’s because they’re unaware of your true purpose.”

Lu Zhou slowly raised his sword and said, “You’re wrong. Very wrong…”

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou flew up and cut the sky open.

The seawater was immediately devoured by the black crack, destroying the balance of the whirlpool. In the next moment, the churning speed of the whirlpool increased by several times, generating a powerful pulling force.

Splash!

The waves continued to rise to the sky.

Ming Xin suddenly lowered his altitude. The wisp of soul turned into a long dragon again and wrapped around him as he descended. He said in a clear voice, “There’s nothing you can do to me.”

Immediately after saying that, Ming Xin directly descended into the huge whirlpool.

Lu Zhou brandished his sword in the air, continuously slashing at the air and water.

However, the water only continued to surge. It was impossible to cut off the water flow.

“Freeze!”

The freezing ability could greatly display its power at the Great Maelstrom. Much of the surface of the sea was turned into a thick layer of ice. However, when the freezing energy drew close to the whirlpool, it came to a stop.

Seawater surged and splashed on the thick layer of ice as the whirlpool continued to churn.

Lu Zhou did think there was a need for him to gamble with Ming Xin. After all, he had the upper hand in this battle. If he randomly entered a gateway of any kind, he would likely be transported to an unknown space. It would definitely not be easy to find his way back here. At that time, his ten disciples and the nine domains would truly be doomed.

What Ming Xin was betting on was that he would be transported back to the Sacred Region while Lu Zhou was transported to some unknown place.

Lu Zhou looked at the sinking figure below.

At this moment, a voice rang from below. “Are you afraid?”

Lu Zhou’s eyes were blue as he looked down at the whirlpool. Suddenly, fragmented and familiar images appeared in his mind and weaved into a coherent piece of memory. He saw a square golden object.

“Hm?”

Lu Zhou seemed to have remembered something as he put Unnamed away and swooped down. Just as he entered the range of the power of the Great Maelstrom, he heard Ming Xin’s voice.

“Unholy One, you’ve been tricked.”

Swoosh!

At this time, You Ying appeared in the sky, wielding a huge ax.

‘What a familiar scene…’

Lu Zhou frowned. He recalled seeing this scene in Xing Tian’s memories. Then, he asked, “Did you kill Xing Tian?”

Ming Xin leaped up, breaking through the power of the laws. He wanted to rely on You Ying’s power to fly up to the sky. At the same time, he said, “What does that have to do with me?”

Swoosh!

Ming Xin finally returned to the sky. Then, he looked down at Lu Zhou and said, “I don’t believe your luck will always be so good.”

Ming Xin was about to use the same trick again to trap Lu Zhou in the Great Maelstrom when he heard Lu Zhou speak.

“You think you can leave?”

Lu Zhou raised his hand to the sky, and the Confinement Seal flew out.

When the Confinement Seal was at the mouth of the huge whirlpool, it began to grow. It grew 10 times bigger, 100 times bigger, and 1,000 times bigger until it was 10,000 bigger than its original size. With the divine Dao power, the Confinement Seal grew to its limit. Although it could not completely block the whirlpool, it was not a problem to suppress Ming Xin.

Ming Xin frowned as he looked at the Confinement Seal. Then, he raised his hand.

Boom!

Ming Xin pushed the Confinement Seal up.

Lu Zhou said, “Break.”

“Huh?”

The Confinement Seal had already reached its limit, and it was difficult for it to withstand the duo’s power. In the end, Lu Zhou chose to destroy the Confinement Seal to suppress Ming Xin.

Boom!

The Confinement Seal shattered into pieces.

Ming Xin did not expect this and was caught off guard. He was immediately pushed back.

However, although the explosive power of the Confinement Seal was powerful, it was not enough to injure Ming Xin, who had the protection of You Ying. It was already very good that it could push Ming Xin back.

At this time, Lu Zhou raised his right hand. “Come down!”

The Fiend Monk’s Hand seal, which was imbued with the divine Dao power, shot out like the hand of death and grabbed Ming Xin’s leg.

Crackling noises rang in the air as electric arcs covered the duo.

At the same time, Ming Xin immediately felt as though his Primal Qi was paralyzed. Then, he grunted and said, “So be it…”

Ming Xin waved his hand.

Nine light disks bloomed immediately.

Boom!

Lu Zhou brought Unnamed in the form of a shield and held it up above him immediately.

In just an instant, the power from the nine light disks surged in the Great Maelstrom.

At this moment, a strange noise began to ring from the whirlpool. Following that, a blue circle of light appeared below the duo. In just a moment, a beam of light shot up and enveloped both of them.

Primal Qi and the power of laws were rendered useless immediately.

The duo was still trying to figure out what was happening before they were swiftly pulled down by the beam of light.

…

At this moment, it was as though Lu Zhou and Ming Xin were soaring through the galaxy. There was no air, no Primal Qi, and no laws. The energy in their bodies was also quickly draining away.

The duo was pulled into a passageway that led to an unknown location.

Ming Xin’s eyes widened as he surveyed his surroundings. Then, his breathing hitched when he felt the pressure around him. There was no time, no space, and living beings in this place; there was nothing.

‘A space without laws?!’

With this thought in mind, Ming Xin slowly turned around to take a look. As soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Zhou’s blue eyes staring at him like a demon. His heart shook when he saw Lu Zhou’s body glowing with a blue light, clearly unaffected by this place. He asked, “You… Why are you fine?”

Lu Zhou stepped forward in the space without laws. In this place where nothing existed, it should have been difficult to move with such ease. However, he easily moved and appeared in front of Ming Xin. Then, he grabbed Ming Xin’s neck with his big hand and said, “An unrestrained and perfect body is not bound by the laws.”

Then, Lu Zhou lifted Ming Xin up by his neck and asked indifferently, “What’s your origin?”

For the first time in 100,000 years, Ming Xin felt fear. He looked at the pair of blue eyes and blue electric arcs in disbelief. Then, he asked with great difficulty, “Why?”

Lu Zhou tightened his grip around Ming Xin’s neck. “Answer my question.”

Ming Xin struggled to say, “You… can’t kill me… No laws… in this place… no life or death!”

Lu Zhou raised his other hand, and Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared immediately. Then, he said, “Unfortunately for you, this sword isn’t bound by the laws and doesn’t need the laws.”

“...”

Ming Xin’s body stiffened. Then, he struggled before he said with a smile, “You… better think this through…”

Ming Xin struggled and kicked again.

At this time, the space suddenly distorted.

With that, Lu Zhou had no choice but to let go to avoid the distorted space. Soon after, he saw scenes after scenes coming out of the distorted space, flashing before his eyes one after another.

Lu Zhou saw a hazy place.

A figure was born in the hazy place.

Then, the scenes switched, and Lu Zhou saw a man with disheveled hair and a dirty face appearing out of the void and stepping foot on earth. The man walked in an endless wilderness but no leaf touched him. The scene cut to the man searching for food by the river and the man carving words on stones.

When the scene changed again, Lu Zhou saw many humans. There were already languages and civilizations.

Then, he saw the beginning of the cultivation world. That man was glowing with light and worshipped by tens of thousands of people.

All of a sudden, the scenes changed to one of a disaster that almost destroyed the world and wiped out mankind.

When chaos returned to the world, that man stood in the darkness and gouged his eyes out. He threw one eye to the east, and it turned into the blazing sun. The other eye turned into the moon that would come out when the sun set in the west.

Then, that man removed one of his bones and threw it to the ground, turning it into a man.

When Lu Zhou saw these scenes, he felt his entire body tremble and his eyes hurt. He closed his eyes momentarily. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the appearance of the man who lost his eyes and the appearance of the human that was transformed from a bone.

Then, the scenes suddenly disappeared.

“...”

“How’s this possible?!” Lu Zhou was shocked.

Ming Xin laughed. His laughter still echoed in the space as he said, “You gave You Ying life, and You Ying gave me life. If I die, you die too!”

“...”

‘Sharing the same fate?!’

Lu Zhou took a step back. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the wrinkles on his hands. He looked at his fingers and his knuckles before he moved and clenched his hands. This proved that this was all real.

Ming Xin laughed again. Then, he said, “To think that you’ll also have such a day…”

Lu Zhou stepped back again. His nerves were tense, and his mind was in a mess.

‘Why don’t I remember anything about this at all?’

Ming Xin said, “It’s okay if you don’t remember. I’m here to remind you. You created many masterpieces in your life, and you wished for all things to develop freely. You want to study your creations so you left your memories in the Great Maelstrom…”

“You gave every god supreme power and authority so why did you deprive me of the share that belonged to me?!” Ming Xin asked before he laughed again.

Ming Xin’s laughter echoed loudly in the space.

All of a sudden, Ming Xin suddenly pounced toward Lu Zhou. He cried out, “I want to make a final bet with you!”

The duo struggled in this space without laws.

At this moment, space distorted again, and the door that led to nowhere suddenly appeared. Then, a beam of light shot out and pushed the duo out of the space without laws.

Swoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, the duo appeared in the air.

Primal Qi and laws returned, surging from all directions in an instant.

While Lu Zhou was still immersed in what he had seen, Ming Xin seized the opportunity and quickly brought his nine light disks out.

Lu Zhou sensed the power from the nine light disks and reacted very quickly. He raised his hand, tearing space apart. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared behind Ming Xin and struck down heavily.

Boom!

Ming Xin, who fell: “?”

‘He became stronger again?!’

Ming Xin spat out a mouthful of blood. As he fell, he suddenly noticed ten pillars of light that were drawing closer and closer. With this, he realized they had returned to the Sacred Region. He was in a daze, forgetting about his pain for a moment. After falling for a while, he shook his head unwillingly. “Is it really fate?”

Lu Zhou swooped down, wielding Unnamed. Then, he said in a very cold voice, “That’s right. Accept your fate.”

The duo descended quickly, returning to the sky just above the Sacred Region. They had returned to the place where the battle started. It seemed like the battle would end where it started.

Upon seeing Ming Xin, the cultivators in the Sacred Region became very excited. All of them cried out at once.

“The Great Emperor has returned! The Sacred Region will live on forever!”

Ming Xin looked at the ten pillars of light before shifting his eyes to the projection of the ten owners of the Great Void Seeds who were surging with energy and the power of the laws.

Suddenly, the power of the laws from the ten pillars of light converged toward Ming Xin!

Lu Zhou frowned. It seemed like things were going to get more troublesome.

On the other hand, Ming Xin was excited, and his spirit was immediately lifted. Sensing the power of laws growing stronger and stronger, he said, “You’ve reincarnated so many times. It’s time for you to accept your fate.”

Then, Ming Xin looked at Lu Zhou and spoke in an almost inaudible voice before revealing a smile on his face.

Although Ming Xin’s voice could barely be heard, Lu Zhou knew what Ming Xin said: I’ll rule the world in your place.
