My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 638
Chapter 638: Heart of the Red Fish
When it got a little too dark, Lu Zhou finally stopped descending. He regretted his decision slightly. He had forgotten to replenish his extraordinary power. After his battle with Karol, he was now left with only half of his extraordinary power. On top of that, his cultivation base was only at the Six-leaf stage. If he encountered something much more powerful than himself, would he not be in grave danger? He decided to check his merit points to boost his own confidence…
Merit points: 8,103.
This was bad.
A Deadly Strike Card cost 10,000 merit points!
It was too expensive!
After checking his points, Lu Zhou felt more flustered than he had ever been. If he had known he would feel this way, he would not have checked his points!
Lu Zhou continued to descend after closing the interface.
…
Meanwhile.
The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples and elders waited next to the abyss. They could not help but feel slightly anxious when Lu Zhou did not return even after a long time had passed.
Si Wuya said, “Judging by this depth, I don’t think that he’ll be back anytime soon… We should stay in Guluo Village for the time being.”
The others nodded.
“No.” Young Yu Zhenghai shook his head. Perhaps, he loathed the very mention of Guluo Village, he had reacted strongly as soon as he heard the village’s name.
Si Wuya said at once, “Eldest Senior Brother, let’s set up our tents around here, then.”
“Alright.” Young Yu Zhenghai nodded.
The others understood that they should not mention Guluo Village again.
Mingshi Yin walked over and said, “Eldest Senior Brother… I’ll carry your saber for you… This way, please.”
“…” Yu Zhenghai had trouble getting used to this.
Although the others felt awkward, this young man was undoubtedly the Evil Sky Pavilion’s first disciple. With the confirmation from the pavilion master and Si Wuya confirming it, there was no way it was wrong.
Mingshi Yin was the only one who acted naturally.
“Eldest Senior Brother, have a seat… I’ve wiped it down. I hope you don’t mind,” Mingshi Yin said in an ingratiating tone.
Duanmu Sheng rolled his eyes. He walked up to Mingshi Yin and said, “Old Fourth, you’re hopeless. Flattery won’t raise your cultivation base.”
Mingshi Yin retreated with a sheepish expression on his face.
Duanmu Sheng produced his waterskin and presented it to young Yu Zhenghai as he said, “This is water from a well in Great Yan. It’s sweet and refreshing.”
Young Yu Zhenghai was slightly stunned. He looked at the waterskin and seemed to be filled with emotion.
Mingshi Yin. “???”
Yu Zhenghai received the waterskin. “Thank you.”
The others were dumbfounded. They had never seen Yu Zhenghai thank anyone before. Although his appearance had changed, the changes in his attitude were much more shocking!
“Eldest Senior Brother.” Little Yuan’er skipped over to young Yu Zhenghai.
Young Yu Zhenghai asked awkwardly, “You… are?”
“I’m the former Little Junior Sister and the current Ninth Junior Sister… This is Conch, master’s latest disciple… Although you don’t remember me, I remember you. Thank you for the Cloud-treading Boots!” Little Yuan’er said in one breath.
Young Yu Zhenghai scratched his head. He was even more confused than before. He had no recollections of the things Little Yuan’er mentioned.
When Si Wuya saw this, he stepped forward and began to explain to young Yu Zhenghai. He started from Yu Zhenghai’s identity, how he joined the Evil Sky Pavilion as a disciple, founded the Nether Sect, conquered the nine provinces, and eventually claimed the Divine Capital.
Yu Zhenghai was greatly shocked by this. He could not believe it at all.
Everyone knew that it was difficult to accept such facts. Hence, they dared not disturb him. They left him alone to give him time to digest all these things.
…
The next morning.
When the sun rose in the east, the others went to the edge of the abyss to have long. And yet, there was no sign of their master.
…
Meanwhile.
Lu Zhou was still descending. He did not increase his speed and maintained the same speed.
Currently, darkness surrounded him on all sides.
“Can I really not reach the bottom of the abyss?” Lu Zhou had trouble believing this.
As he descended, the pulling force intensified as well.
In an attempt to find Yu Shangrong, he would launch a palm seal at fixed intervals.
The shining golden palm seal was like a lantern at night that illuminated the surroundings.
When Lu Zhou felt that he had gone far enough, he launched another palm seal.
The shining golden palm seal was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
“Hm?” Lu Zhou discovered the palm seal did not hit the abyss’s rock walls like the previous ones.
“The bottom is hollow?”
He stopped and kept himself afloat by condensing his Primal Qi into energy.
The pulling force from below had intensified considerably so he had to spend even more Primal Qi. However, it was still manageable.
Lu Zhou raised his palm that glowed with a golden light. The areas a few meters around him lit up.
He discovered there was nothing around him! Everything about his surroundings made him feel cold despite the temperature.
This time, he launched a palm seal down.
Soon enough, a crisp sound rang in the air, surprising Lu Zhou.
“I’m near the bottom?” He decided to descend.
After a while, he raised his hand, holding a golden sphere that looked like a miniature sun.
When he looked down, he could hardly believe the sight that greeted his eyes.
There was a boundless sea beneath him! He could not see an end to it! What shocked him further was that the water was black!
“Black water?”
It looked like a new world down here!
Lu Zhou hovered above the black water. He did not dare to recklessly touch the black water. He continued to observe his surroundings with the help of his glowing golden sphere.
After a while, he discovered that he had drifted to another place even though he did not move. Due to how dark it was and not having a point of reference, he did not notice it all.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. No wonder he could not find Yu Shangrong. With this, it would be much more difficult to find Yu Shangrong.
The black water was so calm that it seemed like a glass pane.
Lu Zhou flew backward and saw a reef. He landed on it and began to replenish his Primal Qi.
At the same time, he kept himself alert to any minute changes in his surroundings.
He suddenly recalled his power of hearing, and an idea formed in his mind…
To gain the power to hear everything so that we can hear voices in all realms at will.
His ear glowed with faint blue light, and he felt the range of hearing widened.
There were no movements or sounds…
Soon after…
Swoosh!
A red fish had leaped out of the water in front of him!
It was a glowing red fish!
Lu Zhou struck with his palm.
Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal!
The shining blue hand seal sailed toward the red fish.
Bam!
The Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal grabbed the red fish!
“A fish capable of producing red energy?” This had exceeded the bounds of Lu Zhou’s understanding. He raised the red fish and noticed it had an exceptionally stubborn will to live. It was 100 times more stubborn than any fish he had ever seen. The red fish struggled to break free of his clutches to return to the black water.
“You livestock, thinking of going back?”
He raised his palm and struck.
Bam!
Perhaps, his force was too strong.
A soft noise rang in the air as the red fish spat out a red ring of light.
Lu Zhou retracted his palm. The ruby item fell into his palm.
“Ding! Obtained Red Fish Heart x1.”
“Red Fish Heart. Provides 100 years of life.”
“Really?”
He obtained 100 years of life with a casual swipe of his hand?
Lu Zhou was shocked. He looked at the red fish’s corpse and the Red Fish Heart.
‘Let’s put it away for now.’
He wrapped it up and started replenishing his Primal Qi.
The Primal Qi here was exceptionally dense. He recovered at an exceptional rate.
At the same time, Lu Zhou stayed a while longer on the reef to replenish his extraordinary power.
Without any point of reference, he could only gauge the passage of time with his senses.
After what seemed like hours, Lu Zhou started hearing the sound of waves.
When he looked at the spot where the red fish had appeared earlier, he saw the black water surged into a towering wave.
“What’s this?”
Splash!
Lu Zhou gauged his extraordinary power. He noticed that it was nearly full. He no longer dallied. He leaped up and dodged the wave of black water as soon as it dropped. up and rose.
Then, he saw an extremely huge red fish emerging from the black water. Due to the black water, its glow was not very prominent. However, as soon as it broke the surface of the water, a red light burst forth.
Lu Zhou could sense the hostility from the red fish…
Its huge eye rolled around, scanning its surroundings, before it found him.
Lu Zhou did not think he should stay here for long.
He launched a palm seal down and broke free of the pulling force.
It leaped out of the water, raising its head before opening its jaws. It was clear it intended to devour Lu Zhou.
Although it had leaped lightly into the air, the waves it stirred up reached a tremendous height.
“Livestock!” Lu Zhou aimed his palm that was shining with a faint blue light down.
The scripts of Abandon Wisdom appeared between his fingers, and a palm seal that was larger than usual appeared under his feet. Then, he pressed down!
