My disciples are all villains.

“Alright.”

Lu Zhou led the others and flew into the sky. They were all surprised when they saw the steep Ciyun Ridge that towered in the sky. The Pillar of Destruction that sat on the peak pierced through the dark fog.

Yan Zhenluo looked at the Pillar of Destruction in awe and said, “There’s no way humans build the Pillars of Destruction…”

Everyone naturally did not know what to say regarding this matter.

Soon after, they appeared about ten miles away from Ciyun Ridge.

“Wait here,” Lu Zhou said.

This was the Pillar of Destruction deep in the inner area of the Unknown Land, after all. If they encountered a powerful fierce beast, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Understood.”

This time, Lu Zhou only brought Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan’er with him to the Pillar of Destruction.

The trio stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the Pillar of Destruction.

Little Yuan’er said suspiciously, “It seems like no one is guarding this pillar…”

“Impossible. We have to learn from our mistakes. The Great Void definitely has someone or something guarding this place. We can’t let our guards down,” Yu Shangrong said.

“Alright.”

Lu Zhou did not move. Instead, he closed his eyes and recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing power to sense the surroundings. Strangely, there were no fierce beasts within the Pillar of Destruction. When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the Pillar of Destruction curiously as he muttered to

himself, “No guardians?”

“Perhaps, there’s a zombie king instead?” Little Yuan’er speculated.

“TIl go up and have a look first,” Lu Zhou said before he flew up to the Pillar of Destruction.

Lu Zhou’s speed was very fast. It would not take long for him to reach the Pillar of Destruction.

Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan’er looked at their master, feeling slightly nervous.

Suddenly, two orbs of light, which resembled the moon, appeared across from Ciyun Ridge, illuminating the dark sky. It was so bright that it looked as though it was noon. The light illuminated the area within a radius of 1,000 kilometers.

Lu Zhou silently recited the mantra for the power of sight.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, including Duanmu Dian who was by the runic passage, were shocked.

Lu Zhou looked ahead at the two moon-like orbs with fiery eyes. It did not take long for him to see that the two moon-like orbs were a pair of eyes set in a huge head.

Whoosh!

At this time, a violent wind swept over Huantan. Its might seemed capable of tearing the very fabric of space and shaking the earth.

Lu Zhou held his astrolabe up to resist the powerful force. In the next moment, he felt someone grabbing his arm and saying anxiously, “Let’s go! Give up! Go!”

“Duanmu Dian?” Lu Zhou frowned in confusion.

“That’s Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon!” Duanmu Dian said as he brought Lu Zhou to the ground. Then, he hurriedly brought Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan’er away as well. In just a moment, he brought the trio to join the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master.”

“Mister Second, Miss Ninth.”

At this moment, darkness fell again as the two orbs of light disappeared.

“Look at its might that’s like the wind and the rain and thunder and lightning. Just opening its eyes, it’s like noon. When it closes its eyes, it’s like the night,” Duanmu Dian, “It’s hard to imagine its power.”

Nonetheless, Lu Zhou said, “I want to try again.”

“Are you crazy?!” Duanmu Dian frowned.

“It doesn’t seem to carry any killing intent. Maybe I can talk to it. Since Meng Zhang is guarding Huantan’s Pillar of Destruction, the others guarding the remaining two pillars can’t be any easier to deal with. Giving up here isn’t the best choice,” Lu Zhou said.

There were still the Pillars of Destruction at Zuo’e and Ren Ding, Put aside Zuo’e, there was no doubt the Pillar of Destruction at Ren Ding in the core area, also the biggest pillar among the ten Pillars of Destruction, was going to be the most difficult to enter.

Duanmu Dian pointed at the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion and said, “You can come again after they’ve become stronger.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment before they spoke up one after another.

“Master, we’re willing to wait.”

“Pavilion Master, we’re willing to wait as well.”

Lu Zhou swept his gaze across everyone present on the scene as he said, “I’m afraid the Great Void can’t wait.”

When Lu Zhou thought about the ten Pillars of Destruction, he felt that there was some inexplicable fate between them; it was as though the ten pillars were specially prepared for him. Not a single one of them could be missing.

“Stay here,” Lu Zhou said as he flew toward the Pillar of Destruction again.

Duanmu Dian shook his head and sighed. “Stubborn! He’s just as stubborn as before!” Then, he turned to the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion and said, “If anything goes wrong later, I’ll bring all of you away. Make sure to stay within 100 meters of me.”

Everyone nodded.

“Understood.”

Subsequently, Duanmu Dian flipped his hand, and a Collective Teleportation Jade Talisman appeared in his hand. Then, he waited for the critical moment to arrive before bringing everyone away.

Inthe sky.

Lu Zhou flew alone. His speed was not fast, but it was constant.

When he arrived high in the sky in front of the Pillar of Destruction, the two moon-like orbs appeared again, illuminating the sky and the land.

He transmitted his voice over as he said, “You’re Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon?”

Rumble!

Following a thunderous sound, Lu Zhou said an indescribably massive 30,000-meter-long body between heaven and earth. In comparison, he was just like a speck of dust in the world.

The light from the two moon-like orbs fell on Lu Zhou like two beams of spotlight.

Everyone was extremely nervous as they watched from the ground. The feeling only intensified when they saw how tiny Lu Zhou was in comparison to Meng Zhang.

Back in the sky, Lu Zhou spoke loudly and clearly, “I have something to discuss with you. Are you open to listening to me?”

There was no response.

After a while, a streak of white light descended from the dark fog light a bolt of lightning toward Lu Zhou.

Boom!

“Master!”

Duanmu Dian raised his hand and erected a protective barrier, shielding everyone from the backlash, as he said, “Calm down!”

In fact, Duanmu Dian was likely the most nervous among everyone present.

Meng Zhang did not even give Lu Zhou a chance to speak before it attacked. Moreover, the force was too powerful.

Everyone looked at the huge black hole on the ground and thought that even a Saint would be flattened by such power.

Everyone watched, worried, as Lu Zhou continued to hover in the air. They saw him looking at the sky and heard him tonelessly say, “What a futile action.

Duanmu Dian:

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion

Roar!

A thunderous roar rang out as the dark fog roiled violently.

Meng Zhang seemed surprised that Lu Zhou was completely unharmed.

Following that, crackling sounds reverberated in the air as a huge lightning bolt struck Lu Zhou again.

Lu Zhou flashed away, but the lightning bolt caught up with him in just a blink of an eye. When it struck him, he could feel it was different from before. This time, he felt his body go numb as electric currents swam through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and converged in his Dantian’s sea of Qi.

Lu Zhou’s eyes widened in anger when he felt the changes in his body. However, soon after, he frowned, perplexed. The strike did not trigger the Critical Block Cards. This meant that the attack was not fatal.

On the other hand, everyone was stunned that Lu Zhou managed to withstand the strike.

‘He could even withstand that?!”

Lu Zhou’s frown deepened as he hovered in the air. His body was stiff. Primal Qi, like faintly discernible gossamer threads, tangled around him. If they broke, he would fall. In his heavily injured state, no matter what trump cards he had, they were useless. He tried his best to maintain his flight.

“Divine power.”

Buzz!

Lu Zhou’s blue avatar appeared in his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Then, a magical scene appeared. The electric currents that numbed his body suddenly surged crazily toward the blue avatar. Soon enough, the strange feeling in his Eight Extraordinary Meridians disappeared.

Lu Zhou lifted his head. A hint of anger could be seen on his face at this moment. He looked at the two moon-like orbs and said, “Meng Zhang, as one of the Four Divinities of Heaven, you actually became the Great Void’s lackey.. I’ve really misjudged you!”
