My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 579

Chapter 579: This is the Price

Meanwhile, the Nether Sect forces at the southern, northern, and western gates of the Divine Capital began their assault as well.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the skies above the eastern gate.

Hua Chongyang hovered in the air and studied the city walls. All of a sudden, he saw hundreds of huge projectiles shooting toward him

“Break!” Hua Chongyang summoned his avatar and made it spin. It released a strong blast of energy, repelling the projectiles.

The projectiles were instantly destroyed, and the shrapnels fell to the ground.

The Nether Sect members on the ground attacked the city swiftly.

All of a sudden, five bow-wielding cultivators flew up from the eastern city wall. They pulled on their bowstrings and shot at the Nether Sect disciples on the ground.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Every fired arrow would take out one Nether Sect disciple.

The five archers continued to fire their shots. In no time at all, they claimed the lives of dozens of Nether Sect disciples.

…

On the flying chariot, Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly when he saw this.

“Godly Archers?”

The advantages of Godly Archers in a defensive battle were greater.

Si Wuya smiled and said, “They’re sending their Godly Archers out now. Looks like the Divine Capital isn’t too well-equipped with defense mechanisms.”

“You have a point, wise brother.”

Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly as he glanced at his fallen brethren on the ground. Such was war. It was impossible for there to be no casualties. This was the price they had to pay. If he stopped now to mourn the dead instead of attacking, it would be the greatest insult to the fallen. What he needed to do now was to take down the Divine Capital… to achieve the goal everyone was working for.

“I’ll deal with them.” Si Wuya leaped out. The Peacock Plume spun out from his hand with a dazzling light.

“Plume Spreading!” When the Peacock Plume was attached to his back, Si Wuya spread his hands out. A pair of golden wings unfurled from his back at the same time. He dove down and flew past the city wall.

“Be careful, Mister Seventh!” Hua Chongyang looked up and cautioned.

“Don’t worry!”

When the five Golden Archers saw the pair of huge wings diving toward them, their eyes widened. They hastily put their bows away and descended.

“Retreat!”

Dozens of garrison soldiers covered the Godly Archers as they retreated.

Si Wuya smiled coldly. “Avatar!” His Six-leaf avatar expanded swiftly. His Peacock Plume disintegrated into energy arrows at this moment and shot at his five targets.

“Block it!”

Every energy needle was extremely sharp.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The energy needles were like golden icicles during winter. They penetrated the chests of the soldiers.

All of a sudden, a loud explosion rang in the air!

The energy needles hit the Godly Archers.

The Godly Archers stared at their bloodied chests incredulously. Soon after, they fell to the ground. Their eyes were brimming with shock as they looked at the city wall. The energy needles had cleanly pierced through their chest and were embedded on the city wall before slowly fading away into thin air.

Thud!

When they fell, they saw that their other comrades had fallen prey to the same fatal technique.

…

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 100 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 100 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 100 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 100 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 100 merit points.”

“…”

Lu Zhou opened his eyes. He stopped meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls and walked out of the eastern pavilion.

He called out softly, “Hua Yuexing.”

Hua Yuexing was cultivating in the western pavilion. When she heard Lu Zhou calling out to her, she stopped cultivating immediately and swiftly flew to the eastern pavilion.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master,” Hua Yuexing said with a bow.

“What’s your cultivation base now?”

A remorseful expression appeared on Hua Yuexing’s face as she said, “I’ve recultivated to the Two-leaf stage.”

Lu Zhou flipped his palm. The Golden Taixu Mirror materialized in his palm. There was a surge of Primal Qi before the Golden Taixu Mirror glowed. Then, he pointed it at Hua Yuexing. A projection of her avatar appeared immediately. It was just as she had said, it had two leaves.

“Not bad.” Lu Zhou nodded, pleased.

“What do you mean, Pavilion Master?”

“Head to the Divine Capital. Remember to prioritize your safety,” Lu Zhou calmly said.

“Yes, Pavilion Master!” Hua Yuexing responded.

Before Hua Yuexing could leave, Hua Wudao walked into the eastern pavilion, bowed, and said, “Pavilion Master, I’m willing to go to the Divine Capital with Yuexing.”

Lu Zhou did not immediately agree to Hua Wudao’s request. Instead, he pointed the Golden Taixu Mirror at him. Hua Wudao’s avatar was revealed in the Golden Taixu Mirror: Four-leaf. After considering for a brief moment, he said, “Hua Wudao.”

“Your orders, Pavilion Master?”

“You’ll protect Hua Yuexing. Remember to prioritize your lives in the battle of the Divine Capital.”

“Yes, Pavilion Master!” Hua Wudao and Hua Yuexing bowed in unison before they turned around to descend the mountain

Lu Zhou shook his head and cursed under his breath, “Rascal.”

Soon enough, the other elders appeared outside the eastern pavilion.

Lu Zhou turned to look at the three elders and asked, “You wish to go as well?”

Zuo Yushu bowed and said, “If you need me to, big brother, I’ll go.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “The Divine Capital has the Ten Terminal Formation. Even I am not confident I’ll be able to break it. You’ll only be rushing to your deaths if you go. Hua Yuexing is a Godly Archer, and she has the Falling Moon Bow. Outside the Divine Capital, she’ll be a great help. Hua Wudao is skilled in defense, and he can protect Hua Yuexing. If the two of them work together, they can fight against a 1,000-man army.”

The three elders nodded. They were bags of old bones. Well, they could have displayed their might if there were no Ten Terminal Formation. With the Ten Terminal Formation in place, the three of them might not even be capable of defeating young people in the Body Tempering realm inside the Divine Capital. They could not possibly linger around the perimeter of the Divine Capital with their avatars, after all. Indeed, it was rather pointless for them to go there.

At the end of the day, it all depended on the Nether Sect to conquer the Divine Capital.

At this moment, Conch and Little Yuan’er walked in while holding hands. They greeted Lu Zhou in unison, “Greetings, master.”

Lu Zhou looked at the two young girls and asked, “What is it?”

Little Yuan’er mumbled, “Master, I heard about Eldest Senior Brother from Fourth Senior Brother. I feel sorry for Eldest Senior Brother. Should I go and help him out?”

“Behave yourself.”

“I know what you mean, master. The Divine Capital has the Ten Terminal Formation… but Conch can do something about it!” Little Yuan’er turned to look at Conch. “Isn’t that right, Conch?”

Little Conch nodded. “Mhm. Master, I can ask the beasts to help!”

The three elders brightened up. Indeed, this was a great weapon.

Lu Zhou raised his hand and pointed the Golden Taixu Mirror at Conch. A miniature avatar appeared before the Golden Taixu Mirror.

“Six Recombinant Trigram Lines.”

When they saw this avatar, the three elders were shocked.

“This little girl is a rare talent!”

“To think that her avatar is already at the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines… Come to think of it, the little girl’s cultivation base is already in the Divine Court realm.”

“She directly entered the Mystic Enlightening realm before taking five months to enter the Brahman Sea realm, and finally entering the Divine Court realm after a month! I’m starting to think she’s not human,” Zuo Yushu said.

Upon hearing this, Conch took two steps backward. She was slightly afraid of Zuo Yushu’s gaze.

Lu Zhou remembered the red avatar. There were still great secrets regarding Conch’s identity. Hence, he said, “Enough.”

The others bowed.

“Since Conch is my disciple, I’ll naturally protect her. From this day on, nothing about her is to be known beyond this mountain. I’ll only say this once.” His voice was not forceful, but it carried with it an absolute air.

The three elders bowed at the same time. “Yes, Pavilion Master.”

Something stirred in Pan Litian. He could not help but cough as a thought appeared in his mind. ‘Could it be… that this little girl is truly the pavilion master’s daughter born out of wedlock?’

“You have a question, Elder Pan?” Lu Zhou looked at Pan Litian.
