My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 996: Old Demon Ji Is As Steady As Mount Tai

Xiao Yunhe finally understood why Lu Zhou was so confident about competing for the life heart. Even the master assassin, Ye Liuyun, from the Dark and Light Alliance was no more than a fly in front of Lu Zhou; Lu Zhou had easily destroyed one of Ye Liuyun's Birth Charts. When he shifted his gaze to the sullen Ye Liuyun, he felt rather pleased.

Xiao Yunhe tactfully responded on behalf of Lu Zhou. "King Chen of Wu, this senior is the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion. You can address him as Senior Lu." He was also tactful enough to avoid revealing Lu Zhou's full name.

King Chen of Wu respectfully cupped his fists together and greeted Lu Zhou. "Senior Lu."

With this, Lu Zhou shifted his attention away from Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun felt the pressure on him lighten considerably as soon as Lu Zhou looked away. He sighed in relief immediately.

Naturally, Lu Zhou knew he had only temporarily deterred Ye Liuyun from acting rashly. It was clear that Ye Liuyun was unresigned, but he was not sure he should kill Ye Liuyun now. In any case, he managed to intimidate these people for now. If the situation was not right later, it was not too late to find a way to kill Ye Liuyun.

Lu Zhou looked at King Chen of Wu and asked, "Great Yuan's royal court is also here for Ying Zhao?"

King Chen of Wu nodded. "Yes. There's no one who doesn't covet Ying Zhao. I won't lie; the royal court is greatly invested in obtaining Ying Zhao's life heart."

'Well, at least he's honest.'

Lu Zhou shifted his eyes back to Ye Liuyun and asked, "What about you?"

Ye Liuyun felt ill at ease under Lu Zhou's gaze. Finally, he mustered his courage and said, "Yes, I want…"

Lu Zhou interjected, "You want Ying Zhao's life heart as well?"

"I..." Ye Liuyun gulped. It was obvious the old man in front of him was trying to coerce him into giving up on Ying Zhao.

At this moment, an expert from the White Tower Council said, "It's better if the Dark and Light Alliance leaves! You don't have a right to be here. Great Yuan's royal court is also…'

King Chen of Wu smiled before he interjected, "This the Land of Chaos. Everyone can come here. If the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council can be here, why can't we? Moreover, the Humble White Sect deserves to be here as well…"

At this moment, Chen You, Elder Wu, and the others sighed emotionally even though they knew these were just perfunctory words.

A cultivator from the Black Tower Council, with a black hood over his head, rose into the air and said, "This is between the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council, how dare you barge in halfway when we've killed so many Birth Chart Beasts?" As he spoke, he removed his hood, revealing his face.

"Luo Huan, the judge from Black Tower Council?"

Luo Huan nodded as he said, "Since the First Elder isn't here now, I'm in charge. If you want these life hearts, you need to ask for our permission. Naturally, this doesn't apply to Senior Lu… Senior Lu will have a share of these life hearts..."

King Chen of Wu and Ye Liuyun. "..."

This move was too cunning. The Black Tower Council wanted to pull Lu Zhou to their side! King Chen of Wu did not have anything now to pull Lu Zhou to his side, and there was no need to mention Ye Liuyun who had just offended Lu Zhou. It seems like the great show that was like the Three Kingdoms had begun!

As expected, the White Tower Council would not make things easy for the Black Tower Council's Luo Huan. Someone shouted, "Luo Huan, the Birth Chart Beasts are killed by our First Elder. Even if the life hearts were to be given away, it's ours to give away…"

Luo Huan looked down at the members of the White Tower Council and said, "Why do you speak as though our First Elder didn't play a part in killing the Birth Chart Beasts?"

At this time, many people raised their heads and looked at the sky. There was no sign of Shi Youran and Xu Chen, the First Elders of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council.

For now, it seemed like the Black Tower Council was stronger. Apart from Shi Youran, the First Elder of the Black Tower Council, Luo Huan, a judge from the Black Tower Council, was present as well. On the other hand, Xu Chen, the First Elder of the White Tower Council, aside, it seemed like no judge from the White Tower Council was present.

King Chen of Wu smiled as he watched those from the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council argued. He said, "In my opinion, these life hearts should be divided equally."

"Divided equally?" Luo Huan frowned. "You're even worse than the White Tower Council. You have no qualifications to negotiate at all…"

King Chen of Wu looked at the members of the White Tower Council. Did they really only send Xu Chen? If it was true, then, the Black Tower Council that had Luo Huan had a high chance of obtaining the life hearts.

All of a sudden, a burst of laughter rang from the distant mountain peak.

"Judge Luo, since when did the White Tower Council lose the right to these life hearts?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

An excited expression on the faces of a few members of the White Tower Council who recognized the voice.

"The judge from the White Tower Council is here!"

King Chen of Wu and Ye Liuyun frowned slightly. With the arrival of the judge from the White Tower Council, this had now truly become a five-way battle between Lu Zhou and the others, the Black Tower Council, the White Tower Council, the Dark and Light Alliance, and Great Yuan's royal court.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou could not help but sigh inwardly at the latest development. Although this was within his expectations, he could not help but think it would be great if his seventh disciple was here.

At this time, a figure clad in white appeared in front of everyone's eyes. In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of them. His figure was tall and straight, and he had the appearance of a scholar. Although there was a smile on his face, it did not reach his eyes.

King Chen of Wu cupped his fists together. "So it's Judge Ning from the White Tower Council."

On the other hand, Ye Liuyun only grunted by way of greeting.

Luo Huan, the judge from the Black Tower Council, chuckled. "Ning Wanqing, is the White Tower Council short of members that they had to send a blind person here? I heard that Nangong Yutian was killed by someone…."

Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Ning Wanqing, the judge from the White Tower Council, whom Lu Zhou encountered before.

Faced with Luo Huan's provocative words, Ning Wanqing smiled faintly and replied, "Likewise. I heard that Wu Guangping from the Black Tower Council was killed with just a strike."

"..."

At this moment, Chen You from the Humble White Sect hurriedly greeted Ning Wanqing. "The Humble White Sect's Chen You greets Judge Ning."

Ning Wanqing waved his hand dismissively. "This is a matter between the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council. The Humble White Sect should leave."

"This..." If this were in the past, Chen You would have left without any hesitation. However, his sect now had the protection of two great experts! If he did not cling onto them now, when would he be presented with such a chance again?

Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Ning Wanqing from the White Tower Council…"

Upon hearing this voice, Ning Wanqing was shocked. On top of being a Thousand Realms Whirling expert, he was also blind. Therefore, his senses were much keener compared to his peers. How could he not recognize this voice?! As soon as Lu Zhou spoke, he already knew to whom the voice belonged! He immediately stepped forward and greeted Lu Zhou. "Ning Wanqing greets the old senior!"

King Chen of Wu, Ye Liuyun, and the Black Tower Council's Luo Huan. "???"

Luo Huan frowned. "You know him?"

Ning Wanqing said, "Of course. I'm well acquainted with the old senior."

"..."

Ye Liuyun's eyelids twitched a few times. 'What bad luck! Just because of my stupid palm strike, I offended a big shot! Based on Ning Wanqing's attitude, it's clear the old man isn't simple…'

Ning Wanqing did not hesitate and said, "Our White Tower Council insists the old senior take a share of these life hearts…"

Meanwhile, Xiao Yunhe grew even more convinced of Lu Zhou's strength when he saw Ning Wanqing's attitude. There was no doubt Lu Zhou had to be incredibly powerful to make Ning Wanqing behave in such a manner. No wonder Lu Zhou dared to challenge Ye Liuyun earlier!

Lu Zhou's expression was as calm as a still lake as he said, "Leave the Dark and Light Alliance out of it…"

Ye Liuyun felt his heart break. "..."

At this moment, a person whom the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council flew up into the sky and respectively presented three intermediate life hearts each to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou remained silent.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "I'll keep them for the Pavilion Master."

At this moment, Shen Xi felt like the bird in the saying, 'A good bird choose a strong tree to perch on'. He felt incredibly happy and satisfied.

Upon hearing Shen Xi's voice, Luo Huan said with a frown, "Shen Xi? It turns out to be you, you traitor!"

Although Shen Xi was a Four Chart expert, in front of this group of big shots, he was not worth mentioning at all.

Luo Huan raised his voice and continued to say reproachfully, "Shen Xi, you betrayed the Black Tower Council. According to the Black Tower Council's rules, you should be sentenced to death. Come forward and face your death now!"

Suddenly, Lu Zhou raised his hand.

Another blue Great Seal of Fearlessness shot toward Luo Huan at lightning speed.

Lu Zhou did not put much supreme mystic power into the palm seal; he only wanted to warn Luo Huan.

Needless to say, Luo Huan who had witnessed Ye Liuyun's miserable defeat earlier was terrified when he saw the blue palm seal. He flashed and retreated swiftly, using all the escape techniques in his arsenal. He managed to retreat thousands of meters back into the mountain peak.

Boom!

The palm seal landed on the mountain.

No one dared to make a sound at this moment.

After a long time, Luo Huan's figure finally appeared in the distance after dodging the palm strike. However, he was frightened out of his wits so he had no intention of drawing closer.

Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo are now my people."
