My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 568
Chapter 568: I’m Honestly Just Passing By
The Sky Conduct Academy’s President, Meng Nanfei, decisively ordered his disciples.
The disciples of the academy had seen the Nine-leaf avatar as well, and they moved back instinctively.
Why did the Sky Conduct Academy come here? Naturally, it was to help the Crown Prince and Ma Luping defeat the Nether Sect.
Who was the owner of the Nine-leaf avatar on the twin rocks peak? There was no need for them to think about it. It had to be Ji Tiandao, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Master and the master of the Sect Master of Nether Sect.
Who would dare to move recklessly under such circumstances? The smartest thing to do was to retreat at this moment! There was no need to think about anything else. Run!
They had come here ostentatiously and in a grand manner. And yet, they were now fleeing with their tails between their legs.
…
Inside Yan Province City.
Crown Prince Liu Zhi hovered before the small flying chariot with a smug expression on his face as he waited for his reinforcement to arrive. So long as the disciples of the two academies were here and the Formation was reactivated, the Nether Sect would become a turtle trapped in a cage. At that time, they could take down the Nether Sect and Yu Zhenghai in one fell swoop.
Yet…
One of Liu Zhi’s subordinates bowed and anxiously said, “Your Highness, the Sky Conduct Academy’s people are… a-are gone!”
Crown Prince Liu Zhi was taken aback. He frowned and said, “They’re gone?”
He had difficulty believing this. He rose higher and looked in the direction where he had seen the people from the Sky Conduct Academy earlier. He was just in time to see the white-clad cultivators vanishing in the horizons at top speed, looking like fleeing rabbits. He was thoroughly shocked!
‘What’s happening? Are they rebelling?’
The visibility in the city was not great. The buildings easily obstructed their view.
Yu Zhenghai’s altitude was lower than the city wall. He did not see anything beyond the western wall. He seemed puzzled as well.
However, Si Wuya saw everything from the Nether Sect’s flying chariot. He saw the Nine-leaf avatar that appeared for a fleeting ten seconds. It was not a long time, but it was enough.
“Master?” He did not think there was another Nine-leaf cultivator at the moment. Who else could it be on the twin rocks peak apart from his master?
At this moment, Si Wuya seemed to have noticed something. He quickly said, “Brother Chongyang, sound the drums. Advance!”
“Understood.” Hua Chongyang leaped onto the highest point of the flying chariot and sounded the war drums.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The Nether Sect members on the eastern city wall were roused to action. They dove at once.
Another round of assault had begun!
Yu Zhenghai turned to glance at the flying chariot at the other side of the city and nodded. “How can I lag behind when my wise brother is helping me?”
Yu Zhenghai advanced instead of retreating; he charged forward. His Jasper Saber flew out of his hand at the same time
Liu Zhi’s eyes widened as he hastily shouted, “Retreat! Fall back! Use the formation!”
“Y-Your Highness… U-using a formation… w-will only cut off our e-escape… route,” Liu Zhi’s subordinate could barely string his sentence together. Regardless, he knew using a formation at this moment would only serve to trap themselves here.
Liu Zhi descended on the flying chariot. Then, the flying chariot turned around and flew away.
Energy sabers shot out in the air.
Dozens of Black Knights were instantly killed by the energy sabers. Their head fell to the ground as a shower of blood rained down.
Yu Zhenghai glanced at the civilians in his vicinity as he hovered in the air. He said, “Those who believe in my sect shall live! The Nether Sect will keep all of you safe!”
He was determined. If he wanted to rule the world, he had to win the hearts of the people. His voice sounded thunderous to the common people. His words brought hope to them, making them kneel and kowtow at once.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon Hall’s Second Seat, Yu Hong, flew past below Yu Zhenghai. He called out, “Yu Hong.”
Yu Hong bowed at once. “Sect master!”
“I’m putting you in charge of protecting the civilians. Protect them with your life. If any harm comes to them, I’ll have your head!”
“Yes, Sect master!” Yu Hong accepted his mission.
Yu Zhenghai’s orders that were given in the civilians’ presence earned their trust. After all, Ma Luping’s actions have made them lose their faith.
The civilians began to run toward Yu Hong.
Yu Hong guarded the civilians as they went toward the eastern gate.
When Yu Zhenghai saw that the matter was nearly settled, he chased after the Black Knights.
…
On twin rocks peak.
The appearance of a Nine-leaf avatar shocked everyone.
Zhou Youcai felt as though his soul had left his body, and his mind was blank. He remained in that state for half a day.
The 1,000 Big Dipper Academy disciples stared at the now-empty sky in stunned silence.
Was that a golden Nine-leaf avatar? Nine leaves?
How could it be possible that all of them had seen wrongly? It was impossible for an entire group of people to be mistaken!
Mingshi Yin called out when he saw Zhou Youcai in a daze, “President Zhou?”
Zhou Youcai did not respond. Who knew what was going on in his mind at this moment?
“President Zhou!” Mingshi Yin called out again.
Zhou Youcai shuddered and rose to his feet at once. He turned around and said to Zhou Wenliang, “Thank you for the reminder, President Zhou!”
Mingshi Yin. “???”
Zhou Wenliang, Wang Jianrang, and Zhang Gong. “???”
What was this?
Then, with a sheepish expression on his face, Zhou Youcai said, “I’m sorry. I haven’t been getting much sleep recently. That was embarrassing.”
Zhou Wenliang thought to himself, ‘Yes, you should thank me…’
This was not Huang Shijie’s first time seeing the Nine-leaf avatar, therefore, he was much more composed compared to the others. He knew Lu Zhou had summoned his Nine-leaf avatar to intimidate and scare the disciples from the Sky Conduct Academy and the Big Dipper Academy away. In the end, he praised Lu Zhou, “Brother Ji, that’s a surprising move. I’m impressed!”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I… came to Yan Province because I was passing by… What about you, President Zhou?”
Zhou Youcai looked like a deer caught in headlights at this moment. Then, he hastily replied, “I, I… Naturally, I was also passing by…”
Huang Shijie nodded. “That’s settled, then… Since we’re all just passing by, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. Isn’t it nice to stay here and chat? If only we have booze with us.”
Mingshi Yin smiled and said, “I’m afraid not. We left in a hurry, and I forgot to prepare some.”
…
Meanwhile, it was chaotic in Yan Province City.
Yu Zhenghai displayed his might as an Eight-leaf cultivator. He unleashed his Sovereign’s Descent three consecutive times and cleared away the Black Knights. He spent much of his Primal Qi due to that.
When he looked up ahead, he saw Liu Zhi steered the flying chariot and speeding forward. When the flying chariot was about to leave the city, he saw someone with a pair of shining golden wings charging toward it from behind.
“Eldest Senior Brother, leave the rest to me.” Si Wuya said as he flapped his wings.
“Alright! Be careful, wise brother!” Yu Zhenghai said valiantly.
“Don’t worry. I’m also an Evil Sky Pavilion disciple, after all!” Si Wuya sped toward the flying chariot as soon as he finished speaking. Whenever he flapped his wings, tens of thousands of energy needles shot out. He easily took down the low-rank cultivators with that.
Liu Zhi saw Si Wuya’s wings and frowned. “He can do that? Faster! Step on it!”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll surely make sure that Your Highness gets away safely!”
Swoosh!
The flying chariot rose in the air and passed the towering city wall, flying southward.
Si Wuya pushed his wings to the limits. He went after the flying chariot like a meteor.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He fired his energy needles in rapid succession.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
They struck the flying chariot.
Crack!
The lower half of the flying chariot was sliced away by the energy needles. The Formation veins disintegrated instantly.
“Your Highness, we’re abandoning the chariot!” A black figure caught Liu Zhi and descended from the sky.
