My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 968

Chapter 968: A Few Good Words and An Alliance

At the same time, far away in the red lotus domain’s Southern Kingdom…

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, who were surrounded at the moment. heard the thunderous roar.

“You don’t know what’s good for you!”

It was deafeningly loud, causing everyone to tremble.

“Master?!” Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai were also shocked. It sounded like it came from somewhere nearby.

Xiao Yunhe was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly recovered his senses and cupped his fists together as he said, “So you’ve decided to grace us with your presence. Why don’t you come out to have a chat?”

Xiao Yunhe infused Primal Qi into his voice so it spread in all directions into the distance.

Alas, there was no reply.

Xiao Yunhe cupped his fists together again and infused Primal Qi into his voice as he said, “Xiao Yunhe respectfully invites an old friend out to chat…”

Xiao Yunhe’s voice spread even further than before, covering several thousand meters.

Many fierce beasts fled in the face of the powerful and piercing soundwave.

Xiao Yunhe believed the other party would definitely hear his voice. However, even after silence had returned for a long time, there was no reply.

“…”

How awkward! No matter what, he was the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council after all. How could the old man not preserve some of his dignity at all? However, when he recalled how the old man had killed Wu Guangping, who had eight Birth Charts, while he only had seven Birth Charts now, he felt he had no right to challenge the old man now. After all, his 12 Birth Charts were a thing of the past. In his current state, it was almost impossible for him to activate all his Birth Charts again. The path to recovering his Birth Charts was a difficult path to traverse. Even if he could recover one Birth Chart, he would still only have eight Birth Charts, which made him no different from Wu Guangping.

Xiao Yunhe felt awkward. He sighed inwardly. Perhaps, it was time to face the future squarely. It would be harmful to always live in the shadow of the past.

Yu Shangrong felt it was strange. Since his master was here, why did he not come out to save them? There was no doubt that the explosive roar belonged to his master; there was no way he was mistaken. After a moment, he calmed himself down. He thought perhaps their master was testing them. With this thought in mind, he lifted his head and said, “I’ve already told you that you’re not worthy to speak to my master…”

Xiao Yunhe. “…”

Hei Wu Wei. “…”

Xiao Yunhe felt somewhat helpless when faced with this situation.

Meanwhile, the captain of the blackguard was frightened. Earlier, he had wanted to kill the two men and destroy the evidence. However, how could he dare to do so now? That person was watching nearby but was too lazy and disdained to lower himself to their level!

Little did he know that if Lu Zhou were here, he would have been sent to hell by now.

At this moment, Xiao Yunhe, who had calmed down, removed his mask.

Although it was dark, it did not prevent Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong from taking a good look at his face. They were shocked when they saw his face. There were several knife marks on his face, his left eye was injured, and half his face was like tree bark.

At this moment, Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, “I have met your master once before. The matter with the two of you today can be considered a misunderstanding.” His smile served as a stark contrast to his face.

“Misunderstanding?” Yu Shangrong said skeptically.

“Let me introduce myself… I’m Xiao Yunhe, the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council,” Xiao Yunhe said.

“We already know that,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“I once led many experts from the Black Tower Council to the Endless Ocean to kill sea beast kings. I’ve also fought against hundreds of thousands of beasts in the Southern Kingdom. The thousands of meters deep ravine in the Southern Kingdom was caused by me. I went to the depths of the forest to discover the secrets of heaven and earth’s shackles, searching for the truth behind humans’ lifespans. I’m also one of the participants and the few survivors of the Expedition to the Great Void…” Xiao Yunhe said with a sigh, “Unfortunately, life has always been predictable, and everything is now a thing of the past.”

As the saying went, ‘A real man won’t bring up past achievements’. However, Xiao Yunhe still brought of the past.

Xiao Yunhe continued to say. “They destroyed my Birth Charts and imprisoned me at the bottom of the Thousand Ice Lake for 300 years. In this world, there’s no one who hates the Black Tower Council more than me.” At this point, he put on his mask again before he continued to say after calming his slightly agitated emotions, “As the saying goes, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if your master didn’t kill Wu Guangping, I would’ve killed him sooner or later. That’s why I said it’s a misunderstanding.”

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong nodded. ‘So he bragged about his glorious past for half a day just to say that we’re on the same side? Why does it seem like he just wants to show off?’

Yu Shangrong said, “Since it’s just a misunderstanding, no offense is taken. My master has always been… reasonable.”

Xiao Yunhe waved his hand.

The three blackguards retreated behind Xiao Yunhe. They were respectful and no longer dared to speak.

The captain cupped his fists at the duo of them and said, “It’s all my fault for not recognizing Mount Tai. I almost harmed a friend. I hope you can forgive me.”

Yu Shangrong turned around as he held the Longevity Sword. He lightly tapped his toes and drew level with them in the air before he said, “Since you’re unaware of it, you can’t be blamed.”

“…”

The captain said, “If you have any requests, feel free to mention them. I’m willing to make up for my mistakes.”

Yu Zhenghai flew up as well. He asked, “Requests?” Then, his eyes fell on Liang Qu’s corpse before he shook his head and said, “Our Evil Sky Pavilion isn’t unreasonable and won’t force people… It’s good enough that others don’t snatch our life heart.”

‘Why do these words sound so familiar?’ After a moment, Xiao Yunhe asked, “Are both of you here to search for life hearts?” After he finished speaking, he felt that he had just asked an unnecessary question. The duo had just sprouted the tenth leaf, clearly, this was the right time to look for life hearts.

“That’s right. However, the Southern Land is fraught with dangers, and it isn’t easy to find Birth Chart Beasts,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Xiao Yunhe said, “The Southern Kingdom is different from other places. Although this place is close to the beasts’ nest, those who sprout their tenth leaf here won’t be able to attract Birth Chart Beasts. If you really want to stay here to look for Birth Chart Beasts, if you’re lucky you might encounter three to five Birth Chart Beasts if you stay here for three to five years.”

The captain chimed in, “That’s right. The Black Tower Council has set up the stone forest formation here after all. Moreover, about 100 miles south is the White Tower Council’s territory.”

“The White Tower Council Territory?” Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai were slightly surprised.

“If there’s Black Tower Council, there’s naturally a White Tower Council. Since the Black Tower Council is so powerful, how can the White Tower Council be weak?”

Yu Zhenghai sighed heavily. “It seems like it’ll be difficult for Ten-leaf cultivators like us to find and kill Birth Chart Beasts here…”

“…”

‘What’s this person hinting at?’ Xiao Yunhe sighed inwardly. ‘Like master, like disciple. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!’

Yu Zhenghai looked at Liang Qu’s corpse again and sighed loudly.

Xiao Yunhe sighed softly. “Forget it…” Then, he brought Liang Qu’s life heart out of the pocket near his chest and gently pushed it toward Yu Zhenghai before he said, “I’ll give this life heart to both of you. This is an intermediate life heart. I recommend that you only use it after you’ve activated two Birth Charts at least.”

Yu Zhenghai did not stand on ceremony and took the life heart in his hand. Contrary to his actions, he said, “However, you won’t gain anything by giving me this. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to accept this…”

“There’s no need to talk about gains and losses between friends. Moreover, I have many more techniques compared to use to obtain life hearts. I can just look for them again. Speaking of which, you can be considered as my juniors, so you can consider this a meeting gift,” Xiao Yunhe said calmly.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, “Alright. If there’s an opportunity, help me speak a few good words to your master. In the future, let’s drink and chat.”

“Of course…” Yu Zhenghai smiled.
