My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 1776

Chapter 1776: Human Crisis

With Ying Long and Meng Zhang around to intimidate the fierce beasts, even if humans and fierce beasts could not get along peacefully, at the very least, the casualties would be much lower. After all, if there was war between humans and fierce beasts, humans would definitely be at the disadvantage compared to the savage fierce beasts. Fierce beasts could survive in harsh environments much better than humans.

There was Jian Bing, the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation, who was the Unholy One’s number one fan. Si Wuya could play a part as well since he had inherited the Fire Deity’s legacy. As for Zhi Ming, it had a good relationship with Bai Zhaoju, and it was also the Lost Kingdom itself, it should not participate in the battle between humans and fierce beasts.

With this, humans would be able to protect themselves for the time being.

Lu Zhou saw Ying Long’s expression and asked, “You’re very unwilling?”

Ying Long denied immediately, “No, no, no, I’m very willing. If I can redeem myself with this, I’m very willing! How can I be unwilling?”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “It won’t delay your cultivation. You just need to step out for a while to deal with those two things. I won’t ask for anything else. If you do a good job, I won’t hold a grudge against you regarding Unnamed’s matter.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Long patted his chest and said, “I promise to do a good job!”

“You better remember that I hate those who don’t keep their promises the most,” Lu Zhou said.

“I’m the ancestor of the dragons, and the leader of the dragon clan, after all. I won’t go back on my words. Unnamed is so precious, but Brother only asked me to do two simple things in return for losing,” Ying Long said with a sigh. At this moment, he did not feel too resentful about the Unholy One pulling out his tendons in the past.

“Since that’s the case, should I pull out a few more dragon tendons from you as compensation?” Lu Zhou asked.

…

“No, no, no! Brother Ji, please show mercy! I have very few perfect tendons left! If you pull them out, I’m going to die! I promise to do my job well!” Ying Long said as he hurriedly waved his hands.

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said, “That’s good. Stand aside.”

“Stand aside?” Ying Long did not know what Lu Zhou intended to do. There was not much space here, but he still moved to the side.

Lu Zhou moved to stand in Ying Long’s original position before he closed his eyes.

Ying Long asked curiously, “Brother Ji, can you find Unnamed?”

Lu Zhou ignored Ying Long and continued to sense Unnamed.

Ying Long, who was ignored: “???”

Lu Zhou mobilized the divine Dao power, and let it flow into the abyss through his palm.

The divine Dao power was purified from the power of the abyss. It was the purest energy in the world.

When the divine Dao power surged out, it spread swiftly, covering the entire abyss like an inescapable net.

The divine Dao was nature. Everything adhered to the law of conservation. There was life, and there was death. There was meeting, and there was parting.

Lu Zhou searched for the familiar spirituality. He opened his eyes that suddenly glowed blue.

Ying Long, who was feeling down, instinctively took two steps back upon seeing the pair of blue eyes.

‘Haih… I can only accept my fate now. Forget it. I’ll stay far away from him in my next life!’

Lu Zhou’s eyesight was unprecedentedly keen at this moment. He looked around before he sensed the familiar spirituality in the vast galaxy in the abyss.

“Unnamed,” Lu Zhou called out softly. He sensed Unnamed spinning before it suddenly stopped moving.

“Hmm?”

Lu Zhou sensed a scorching energy shrouding Unnamed. It was like magma.

He thought to himself, puzzled, ‘Is it possible that the void grade is not the highest or final grade?’

There was still a connection between him and Unnamed. The connection did not weaken at all. On the contrary, it seemed to be stronger. This could only mean one thing: Unnamed was getting stronger.

Lu Zhou opened his eyes and stopped calling Unnamed back to his side. Then, he looked at Ying Long and asked, “Why do you look so uncomfortable?”

“It’s nothing. Can you find Unnamed?” Ying Long asked.

Lu Zhou shook his head.

Ying Long sighed. He wondered if it was truly hopeless to find Unnamed.

“Alright, before we leave, I’ll return your divine soul pearl to you,” Lu Zhou said.

“Okay.”

Ying Long’s divine soul pearl returned to his body, and his cultivation increased significantly. Then, he followed Lu Zhou and left the abyss.

…

Huantan’s Pillar of Destruction.

Fog lingered in the dark sky.

Lu Zhou and Ying Long stared at the towering Pillar of Destruction nearby and sighed emotionally.

Ying Long said, “I don’t know how long the remaining pillars can hold on…”

As soon as Ying Long’s voice fell, a rumbling noise rang out from the distant horizons.

Boom!

“Are my words so accurate?” Ying Long frowned.

Lu Zhou looked in the direction of the commotion and said, “Great Abyss Land?”

“No way! The pillar at the Great Abyss Land is the biggest and strongest. If it falls, the end will come even if the other pillars haven’t fallen yet. Even if the pillars are falling, it’s not time for it to fall yet.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Lu Zhou said, “I’ve been to the Great Abyss Land. In order to survive there, the Feather tribe built many magnificent buildings there…”

“What do you mean?” Ying Long asked in confusion.

“Don’t underestimate small powers. Water droplets can wear down stones, and metal pillars can be ground into needles. The construction at the Great Abyss Land has surely affected the pillar,” Lu Zhou said, “There was an old man named Yu Gong. He lived near two mountains that made it difficult for him and his family to get around. Hence, he and his family members decided to move the mountains, chipping at it. The people ridiculed him, and at that time, he said, ‘The mountains won’t grow taller, but my descendants will never stop trying to move the mountains’.”

Ying Long sighed. “So it’s a story of perseverance. Alas… he’s wrong. Mountains will grow taller too…”

“…”

‘Is this the point?’

Lu Zhou was too lazy to continue on this topic so he pointed at the Pillar of Destruction and said, “Let’s talk after we settle the matter in front of us.”

“Alright,” Ying Long said before flying over.

When Ying Long appeared near the Pillar of Destruction, the fog in the sky began to surge.

Then, the land brightened, illuminated by two moons.

Ying Long said tonelessly, “It’s me.”

“Ying Long?” Meng Zhang was filled with surprise, disbelief, and confusion. “Why are you here?”

Ying Long said bluntly, “The pillars are all going to collapse. There’s no point in you guarding this place. War is about to break out between humans and fierce beasts. Both of us should stop the conflict.”

Meng Zhang naturally knew this as well. He said with a hint of helplessness, “Everything is predestined. Moreover, those hateful humans should suffer a little…”

Ying Long said, “You can’t do nothing. Once the Great Void falls, where do you think the fierce beasts in the Unknown Land and the Great Void can go? There’s nowhere for them to go. At that time, you’ll also be buried here. Currently, the nine domains have the Unholy One as their leader. This is a rare opportunity for us.”

At the mention of the Unholy One, Meng Zhang said unhappily, “The Unholy One? I’ve long settled the score with him. We have nothing to do with each other.”

Ying Long smiled and said, “Why don’t you do it for my sake? I’ve already made an agreement with him. As long as we stop the conflict, the humans in the nine domains also won’t make things difficult for the fierce beasts. All living beings should unite against this huge disaster.”

Meng Zhang asked, barely able to control his surprise, “When did you become the Unholy One’s lackey?!”

Ying Long frowned and said in a raised voice, “Hey, watch your words. What do you mean by lackey?”

Meng Zhang only said disdainfully, “Humans are lowly; dragons are noble. How can you fall into such a state?”

“Shut up!” Ying Long was instantly enraged.

Lu Zhou saw Ying Long’s body turn translucent.

The fog in the sky surged even more as a thunderous dragon roar resonated for hundreds of miles in the Unknown Land, causing the fierce beasts to flee in fear.

Ying Long reverted to his true form. Its body was huge and long and had the texture of stones. It spiraled upward before it opened its mouth and blew.

A fierce wind raged immediately.

Meng Zhang frowned before it blew as well, stirring up the wind.

The two dragons began to fight thunderously in the sky.

Except for the Pillar of the destruction, nothing remained standing within a radius of 100 miles.

The two dragons’ bodies entwined as they fought, spitting out waves of powerful energy from their mouths.

After a few rounds, Ying Long occupied the higher ground. Then, it released its dragon’s breath at the Pillar of Destruction.

The extreme coldness of the dragon’s breath caused Meng Zhang to retreat.

“You’re just a mere divine lord, how dare you provoke me? I won’t forgive you!”

Although both of them had yet to recover their peak strength, Ying Long was stronger than Meng Zhang.

The two dragons continued to fight, and just when the battle was at its most intense…

Buzz!

Lu Zhou’s tiny figure appeared between the humongous dragons. He said faintly, “Stop.”

Ying Long and Meng Zhang stopped at the same time. Their eyes that were like the sun and moon stared at the tiny human, who glowed with a blue light, hovering between them.

“Unholy One?” Meng Zhang called out.

Ying Long said, “He’s too disobedient so I naturally have to teach him a lesson.”

“Now is the time to recruit people,” Lu Zhou said before he turned to look at Meng Zhang and continued, “The migration and representative plan is the best plan for both humans and beasts. If you want to die, I can help you.”

Meng Zhang remained silent. It could clearly sense that Lu Zhou had become even stronger.

Lu Zhou pointed at the distant sky and said, “Something must have happened to the pillar at the Great Abyss Land. This is the last thing I want to see. The Great Void is going to fall ahead of time. The fall doesn’t discriminate. Do you want to be smashed into a meat patty?”

Meng Zhang said, “I can leave now and find a Lost Island of my own!”

Ying Long cursed, “You’re one of the Four Divinities of Heaven. Your responsibility is to maintain the balance between heaven and earth! Now, you want to run away at the critical moment?”

Meng Zhang retorted, “When disaster strikes, everyone should fly!”

“Fly my as*!” Ying Long cursed again, “When the Great Void falls, the Dao will be affected, Do you think you can continue to live at ease?”

Meng Zhang closed its eyes. After a moment, it changed into its human form and appeared in front of Lu Zhou.

Ying Long reverted to its human form as well.

Meng Zhang said stubbornly, “Since we can’t break the shackles, we’re going to die in the end anyway.”

Ying Long said through gritted teeth, “Oh, since you know you’re going to die anyway, why didn’t you kill yourself when you were born?”

“…”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A thunderous noise rang from the distant horizon again.

Lu Zhou brought a talisman out and ignited it.

As soon as Si Wuya appeared in the projection, he said, shocking the two dragons, “Master, something bad has happened! The pillar at the Great Abyss Land has cracked ahead of time.”
