My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1821: Fate That Cannot Be Avoided

??

There were two sides to everything.

Although the Great Void fell, the Unknown Land regained its light.

The darkness and dampness of the past 100,000 years in the Unknown Land were gone, and the dark fog that covered the sky was also gone. In their places were a new sky and earth. For now, there were no living things there.

…

The stubborn cultivators from the Great Void, who refused to submit, and the fierce beasts that were in a battle with the human alliance of the nine domains looked in the direction of the Unknown Land one after another. Whether it was the Great Void or the Unknown Land, the places they used to live were gone.

Everything was over.

No one knew what the new Unknown Land would be like, and no one had the courage to go there and have a look for now.

They stood unmoving for a long time, looking in the direction of the Unknown Land and at the owners of the Great Void Seeds, who were bound by pillars of light, and their huge lotuses.

The energy from the nine domains was still being siphoned to the Sacred Region through the pillars of light.

The Sacred Region was successfully held afloat in the sky by the power of the laws.

The rebel cultivators from the Great Void looked at the magnificent Sacred Region and were filled with frustration. In their opinions, that was where they should be. That was the city where gods lived!

…

Rumble!

A crack that was 10,000 feet wide opened up in the twin lotus domain. It continued to split for an unknown amount of time at lightning speed. The crack split villages, cities, mountains, and rivers as it traveled. It passed through Luo Yang in the west and Feng’an in the west. No one knew how far and how long it would travel.

The twin lotus was originally one, but when heaven and earth shook, it separated.

…

Sacred Region.

Near a Tower of Heaven in Sacred City.

Lu Zhou looked at the power of laws that were surging and frowned slightly. When he looked at the projections of the ten humongous lotuses and his ten bound disciples, he said angrily, “Ming Xin, so this is your plan?”

Lu Zhou flew into the sky, and a 10,000-feet-long energy sword appeared in his hand.

Although the energy sword that contained the divine Dao power was not Unnamed, it shocked the cultivators in Sacred City.

The energy sword swept out.

Boom!

A building was flattened.

Boom!

Another building was cleaved into two by the energy as though it was as soft as tofu.

The Templars kept retreating, and the cultivators in the Sacred Region were greatly frightened.

After destroying the buildings around him, Lu Zhou mobilized all his power and used the divine Dao power to strike at the nearest Tower of Heaven angrily.

When the full force of the divine Dao power hit the Tower of Heaven, the shockwave exploded and swept across the entire Sacred Region.

Many cultivators felt like stepping forward to fight the infamous Unholy God at this moment. They would be lauded as heroes; their names would be engraved on a monument, forever engraved in history. However, at this moment, when they saw this display of strength, they gave up on this naive idea.

Back in the sky.

One sword strike was not enough so Lu Zhou decided to strike again.

Lu Zhou wielded the energy sword with both hands and silently chanted the mantra from the Heavenly Writing. In just an instant, blue electric arcs flashed on his energy sword. He was determined to succeed with this sword strike.

Lu Zhou rose into the sky and looked at the Tower of Heaven before he brought the 10,000-feet-long energy sword down.

Just as the energy sword was about to land on the Tower of Heaven…

Bang!

A figure appeared and held the energy sword back with all its might. However, it was clearly no match for Lu Zhou’s 10,000-feet-long energy sword and was quickly sent flying before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Zhou looked at the figure. After a moment, he called out, “Guan Jiu.”

After completing the mission of expediting the collapse of the remaining two Pillars of Destruction, Guan Jiu had rushed back here with all his might. After all, if the Great Void fell before he could leave in time, he would be crushed to death even if he was a supreme being.

Guan Jiu did not hide. This time, he chose to face the Unholy One, his former teacher. He clutched his chest and adjusted his breathing as he called out, “Teacher.”

With Guan Jiu’s appearance, the Templars seemed to have found their backbones. They quickly flew over, wanting to help Guan Jiu. However, Guan Jiu pushed them back and shouted at everyone to retreat. He did not need help, and he wanted to stand tall in front of his former teacher.

“Bast*rd, 100,000 years ago, you harbored evil intentions and wanted to murder me. Now, you have the audacity to stand in my path in the Great Void?” Lu Zhou said.

Guan Jiu shook his head and said, “Let them go. The people in Sacred City and the Sacred Region are innocent. Once the tower falls, the city will also fall. The tower cannot be destroyed.”

Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “I already gave everyone a chance, but no one cherished it.”

“Teacher! Please give us another chance!” Guan Jiu said before he kneeled before everyone.

The Templars were moved when they saw Guan Jiu kneeling. How could they not be moved that Guan Jiu, one of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple, kneeled to the Unholy One for the sake of the Sacred Region?

“Then, who’s going to give me a chance?” Lu Zhou asked as he pointed at the ten pillars of light that were constantly transmitting energy from the nine domains here. At the other end of the pillars of light were his disciples. If he did not cut off these pillars of light, his disciples would die.

Guan Jiu had no answer to that question. It was out of his expectations that things would develop to this point. He raised his head and looked at the pillars of light from the ten Towers of Heaven. Then, he explained, “I really didn’t know about this. I didn’t know that building a new world would require the lives of ten people!”

“You’re splitting hairs!”

From the moment Lu Zhou stepped into the Sacred Region, he knew that this battle could not be avoided. He did not want to waste time and raised the 10,000-foot-long energy sword in his hand and flew toward Guan Jiu. He started by using the Return and Enter Three Souls technique.

Lu Zhou, whose body was flashing with blue electric arcs, suddenly split into three and flashed in different directions.

Guan Jiu was shocked.

More than ten Templars tried to stop Lu Zhou, but when they drew close the space froze.

Lu Zhou did not give the Templars time to act at all. Three figures slashed at the Templars and arrived in front of Guan Jiu in just a blink of an eye.

Without any suspense, the energy sword pierced Guan Jiu’s chest. He was sent flying back without any strength to fight back. Blood began to gush out of the wound on his chest immediately.

The sight of the bloody wound frightened the Templars so much that they retreated and no longer dared to approach.

Guan Jiu knew he was no match for the Unholy One. Hence, when the sword came at him, he did not bother to fight back or dodge at all. Instead, he chose to take the strike head-on.

Lu Zhou hovered in the air as he looked at Guan Jiu expressionlessly and said, “Back then, I taught you your skills, searched for life hearts for you, and protected you. Today, you still dare to stand in my path?”

Guan Jiu endured the excruciating pain, and he barely managed to stabilize his footing before he said, “I know that I deserve to die, but they don’t deserve to die. Please listen to me and let them live!”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Qi Tong saw the future. He said that everyone will die. You will die, the Templars will die, and everyone in the Sacred Region will die. I will also die.”

Upon hearing these words, the Templars looked at each other anxiously. The Sacred Region was still floating in the sky, and the danger of it falling had passed. So where was the danger, and how would they die?

Lu Zhou raised his sword and said in a very low voice, “Ming Xin, if anything happens to my disciples, I’ll drown your Sacred Region in blood…”

Buzz!

An incomparably tall golden avatar stood in the sky and looked down on the entire Sacred Region. This was the tallest avatar known at the moment. No one had ever broken this limit.

The Templars’ faces turned pale, and they retreated again.

“Nine light disks!”

Although the cultivators could not see the top of the avatar or measure its height, the column under the lotus told them everything they needed to know.

There were 36 triangles on the column under the lotus. Every time a light disk was formed, four triangles would group together. When all 36 triangles were grouped together, it meant that nine light disks had been formed.

Most of the time, supreme beings would not easily display their strength. If other cultivators wanted to see their avatars, it would have to depend on the supreme beings’ whim. For that reason, most of the cultivators had never seen such an avatar before.

The appearance of the golden avatar with nine light disks announced to the world that the Unholy One, who stood at the peak of the Great Void in the past, had returned to the peak again in the cultivation world.

Swoosh!

The 10,000-feet-long energy sword was just like a short tree branch compared to the avatar. Nonetheless, it caused everyone to freeze in fear. At this moment, they felt death looming over Sacred Region.

Guan Jiu pleaded loudly, “There’s a debtor and debtee to every debt, but they’re innocent. Please let them go!”

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve.

Guan Jiu was sent flying back and spat out another mouthful of blood again without any suspense.

Several Templars caught Guan Jiu, but they did not dare to do anything else, afraid of angering the Unholy One.

“Your pleas are worthless,” Lu Zhou said calmly. He looked at the projection from the Tower of Heavens and the ten pillars of light that were still greedily siphoning energy from the nine domains and transmitting it here.

“Since you’re so brave, let’s start with you,” Lu Zhou said.

The energy sword was about to fall on Guan Jiu’s neck when suddenly Si Wuya’s voice rang from the top of one of the Towers of Heaven.

“M-master… Let, let him… live…”

Lu Zhou looked at the top of the Tower of Heavens and the projection about it with a frown. “Old Seventh?”

Si Wuya said, “He… released Fourth Senior Brother…”

Lu Zhou suddenly recalled how secretive Si Wuya was about his plan and how confident Si Wuya had been. When he looked at the tightly-bound Si Wuya again, he could not help but feel slightly puzzled. After a moment, he looked at Guan Jiu and said in a deep voice, “You can avoid the death penalty, but you can’t avoid the punishment.”

Lu Zhou’s towering avatar suddenly moved its hand. Its hand that could cover the sky descended toward the Sacred Region.

At this moment, a circle of light suddenly appeared in the air below the avatar’s hand.

“A runic passage!” the Templars exclaimed in surprise.

As expected, Ming Xin slowly emerged from the runic passage. His body glowed with light, and he looked like a heavenly being at this moment. When he appeared, some of the power from the Towers of the Heaven fused with the light on his body. This meant that he could at least use some of the power from the Towers of Heaven.

As soon as Ming Xin returned, all the cultivators in the Sacred Region kneeled on the ground and shouted, “Welcome back, Great Emperor!”

The cultivators were flooded with relief, joy, and, and excitement when they saw Ming Xin.

The only exception was Guan Jiu. He lowered his head and did not say anything.

Ming Xin looked at the golden avatar with nine disks calmly. Then, he gestured at the kneeling cultivators and said, “Are you familiar with this scene?”

In the past, when Grand Mystic Mountain was at its peak, it was far superior to the Sacred Region. However, most of its followers were wiped out as time passed. Now, only cultivators of that era knew how glorious Grand Mystic Mountain once was.

Ming Xin’s position was irreplaceable in the hearts of these cultivators who were prostrated on the ground in the Sacred Region.

Lu Zhou put away his avatar and said, “You finally appeared.”

Ming Xin looked at the Towers of Heaven and said, “I spent all my effort to build ten Towers of Heaven so I could build a new world today. From the moment you appeared in the Great Void, I knew I would succeed in my plan.”

Lu Zhou and Ming Xin spoke very casually, as though they were two friends who had not seen each other dor a long time. There were no accusations, curses, or threats.

Lu Zhou asked calmly, “So, all this time, you’ve been using me?”

“Not really. An outstanding master like you personally nurtured the owners of the ten Great VoidSeeds, I naturally did my part as well,” Ming Xin replied.

Lu Zhou asked, “Do you really think you know everything?”

“Everything is fated. I don’t dare to claim that I’m omniscient or omnipotent in front of the honorable Unholy One…” Then, he sighed and added, “I just didn’t expect everything to come so early.”
