My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 602

Chapter 602: The World Shines Upon All Life as the Nine Provinces Tremble (Part One)

Nobody expected the Evil Sky Pavilion Patriarch to go against the spies who were hiding among the citizens.

The spies, the citizens, and the cultivators hovering in the air looked at Lu Zhou who was in the Imperial city. They were staring at the greatest villain who could turn the world upside down with a single command to his disciples. They suddenly remembered that he was a villain. To think that the childish spies would threaten a villain with the lives of ordinary people. Was that not the greatest joke under the heavens?

Some of them had bloodshot eyes, some were afraid, and some were worried.

The executioner continued bringing his blade down; killing the final two spies they caught in the palace. Their heads rolled on the ground, leaving trails of blood in their wake. The blood resembled a winding stream and creeping vines at the same time. They were terrifying to look at.

At this moment, many of the spies were thinking about how they were going to go wild as they sought revenge tonight. They would no longer only kill five civilians a day. They would turn the Divine Capital into hell by making the civilians of this city pay the price.

Indeed, the Evil Sky Pavilion was very powerful. It was so powerful that nobody dared to go against it. However, it did not mean they could not hide from it.

If the Evil Sky Pavilion had the guts, they should just kill everyone in the city. That way, they would not miss a single spy even if it would be at the expense of the people’s lives. Would the old villain dare to do this? Did the Nether Sect not famously plead on behalf of Yan Province’s people before? The Fiend Path could never be righteous! The plans of revenge in their minds would be the civilians’ nightmares.

The civilians present retreated slightly out of nervousness and fear. Some of them could not withstand the sight of the decapitated heads and turned around to vomit.

…

At the peak of the imperial city.

Having received the approval, Zhou Youcai said in a clear voice, “I’m the president of the Big Dipper Academy, the guide for the Divine Capital’s Ten Terminal Formation… I know you’re all wary of the Evil Sky Pavilion, and you must be curious why I’m aligning myself with the Evil Sky Pavilion… When the king treats his servant with respect, the servant will repay the king with loyalty… Yet, since the Emperor ascended the throne, he never once appeared in court or governed the empire. The Big Dipper Academy hereby lists out his ten sins!”

Many Big Dipper Academy disciples appeared outside the city gates, handing out lists of the Emperor’s crimes. Some of the lists were pinned on notice boards.

“First, he’s a muddle-headed tyrant. Second, he killed the innocent. Third, he was unfilial. Fourth, he was planning a rebellion. Fifth, he was unjust. Sixth, he was immoral. Seventh, he killed the loyal. Eighth, his research about the Golden Lotus brutally oppressed cultivators. Ninth, he deceived the monarch. Tenth, he killed the monarch. (The details of his crimes are listed below. 10,000 words are omitted).”

After the lists of charges were distributed, those who could read had difficulty believing their eyes. All of them began to discuss among themselves.

“A fake emperor? He was a fake emperor? An impostor? How… how’s that possible?”

The letter of charges emphasized the crimes of killing and deceiving a monarch. This announcement was as shocking as a clap of thunder.

There had been many similar rumors about Liu Gu before these charges were leveled against him. Now that they were announced Imperial city, the charges, naturally, gained credibility. Moreover, it was announced by the Big Dipper Academy.

When a certain person was suspected by many, irrefutable truths no longer mattered! Nobody could stop the mouths of the masses. The people discussed heatedly among themselves.

A moment later, someone said loudly, “Senior Ji… although I must admit that it felt great to see you kill those five spies, how are you going to ensure our safety? Are you really going to sit back and do nothing?”

“How will you flush the spies out? Are you going to interrogate everyone?”

Another person said, “The only thing I’m sure about now is that they will go on a revenge spree. I implore the Imperial city to deactivate the Ten Terminal Formation and let us go!”

The people were too afraid to stay in the Divine Capital.

“We must leave the Divine Capital quickly!”

Some of them had been hoping that the Evil Sky Pavilion would do something about this. They were clearly shaken now.

“Are you sure that they won’t go after you once you leave the Divine Capital? It’d be easier to kill you outside. Where are you going to run to? Are you going to hope that the cultivators follow you around and protect you?”

Upon hearing these words, the civilians grew even more afraid. Before this, the human city was where they settled down and got on with their lives. It was their refuge. However, it seemed now like there was no place for them?

Bang!

Duanmu Sheng flew down and struck the ground with his Overlord Spear. “Calm down!” He looked valiant, and his gaze was sharp.

The crowd in front of him took several steps back.

At this moment, only nine layers of the Ten Terminal Formation were activated. The final unactivated layer meant that some Primal Qi could still surge in, allowing the cultivators in the Divine Capital access to a little Primal Qi.

“My master has already said he will flush all the rats out today!”

“Dear sir, how will your master do that? Are you going to point at a random person and declare that he’s a spy?”

The people continued to discuss among themselves.

At this moment, Lu Zhou flipped his hand, and the Golden Taixu Mirror appeared.

The mirror buzzed.

He turned the mirror out, and it shone light a torch. The beam of light fell on the person who was mocking Duanmu Sheng. In just a moment, a wolf king avatar appeared before everyone else.

“A wolf king avatar! He’s a Roulian!”

“What did I see? Good heavens, he’s a Roulian spy!”

The crowd backed away as they looked at the wolf king avatar in shock.

When the Big Dipper Academy’s President, Zhou Youcai, saw the mirror, he exclaimed in shock, “The Golden Taixu Mirror?”

The Golden Taixu Mirror could reveal a person’s identity and cultivation base. This was a treasure of the Taixu Academy.

The others were still in shock when Duanmu Sheng raised his Overlord Spear and shouted angrily, “Die!” He brandished his Overlord Spear, and thousands of spear shadows shot toward the Roulian spy’s face.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The spy’s expression was one of shock. He was at a complete loss, flustered that his identity had been revealed. He wanted to activate his protective energy, but he discovered only a piteous amount of Primal Qi could be found in the Nine Terminal Formation.

Duanmu Sheng’s attacks were extremely fierce and domineering. He did not allow his opponent an opportunity to rest. “Imperfect Divine Intervention!” He suddenly leaped into the air and brought his Overlord Spear down.

When the four Evil Sky Pavilion elders saw this, they suddenly recalled a scene they saw on Golden Court Mountain’s training grounds. At that time, Duanmu Sheng’s skills had not matured yet. It was flashy but held no substance. However, at this moment, his technique was polished and refined. When the spear shadows bore down on his opponent, a shining golden energy appeared at the tip of the spear.

Bam!

The Roulian was hit by the Overlord Spear, and his feet sank into the ground.

The Overlord Spear did not relent. It continued to press down!

Bam!

The spy was on his knees now. The stone slabs on the ground cracked!

Just like that, the battle ended!

Duanmu Sheng withdrew his Overlord Spear.

“That was amazing, Third Senior Brother!”

“Your spear techniques are getting more and more domineering, Third Senior Brother!”

After enjoying the praises, Duanmu Sheng stepped forward proudly and ignored the others.

The kneeling Roulian’s eyes were filled with fear as he faced the peak of the Imperial city.

“My master has said… that the rats will be flushed out today!”

Those who saw the Golden Taixu Mirror in Lu Zhou’s hands understood its use after witnessing the scene earlier.

Realization finally dawned on the civilians, and they quickly prostrated themselves.

“Please do something, Evil Sky Pavilion!”

“Please do something, Evil Sky Pavilion!”

As the people shouted, the Other Tribesmen spies among the crowd grew fearful. They looked at the curtain-like barrier in the sky. Two hours… They had to survive these two hours. The Divine Capital was huge; there would surely be places for them to hide.

At this moment, Lu Zhou said in a clear voice, “Cultivators can’t hide in front of the golden mirror… Since I’m in charge of the Divine Capital, how can I allow spies to harm the people?” The Five-leaf Lu Zhou circulated his Primal Qi and projected his voice.

Hundreds of civilians fell to their knees and thanked him.

“Thank you, patriarch!”

“Thank you, patriarch!”

“Ding! Received sincere kowtows from 350 individuals. Reward: 3,500 merit points.”

Zhou Youcai immediately bowed and said, “Senior Ji, I didn’t know the golden mirror is in your possession. Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t put this off any longer. Let’s look for the spies as quickly as possible!”

Pan Litian said, “I’m afraid that it’s slightly difficult to locate every single one of the spies in two hours!”

However, they had no choice but to flush all of them out. Otherwise, the spies would definitely go on a revenge spree.

Lu Zhou nodded and stroked his beard as he glanced at the curtain-like barrier in the sky.

Zhou Youcai looked at the crowd and said, “The Other Tribes are causing trouble. Great Yan cultivators should work together to rid the city of the enemy!” He knew that some cultivators would still view the Evil Sky Pavilion in a biased light no matter what.

Duanmu Sheng gripped his Overlord Spear tightly. He stepped forward. “Master, let’s begin.”

The four Evil Sky Pavilion elders leaped down as well.

Lu Zhou replied calmly, “Sure.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lu Zhou pushed away lightly from the ground and flew up.
