My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 186: Sky Fragment

"The Fiend Path is the Fiend Path… Xu Jing, you've gone mad! If you have an ounce of goodness left in you, you would've ended your own life and repent your before Buddha," Xu Liao said.

Xu Jing continued to cough due to the agitation in his emotions. He was already injured to begin with, these continuous blows made it even harder for him to endure.

Lu Zhou shook his head. 'Every family has its own problems.' In the end, he said, "Xu Liao, since you have a Sky Fragment, why didn't you attack Xu Jing instead of attacking me?"

As soon as Lu Zhou mentioned the Sky Fragment, Xu Liao faltered as his expression changed slightly.

Xu Jing glared at Xu Liao and said, "You evil creature! The Temple of Great Emptiness gave you a Sky Fragment to kill me?"

At this point, Xu Liao had nothing left to hide. He said, "So what if they did? The three of us have contributed and sacrificed many things for the Heaven Choice Temple, and yet, you're willing to submit to the Evil Sky Pavilion! I'll spit on you..."

Xu Jing raised his hand and conjured up a gust of energy that struck Xu Liao's cheek.

Bam!

"There are more than 1,000 disciples in the Heaven Choice Temple. Aren't their lives just as precious?" Xu Jing questioned.

"If the Heaven Choice Temple merges with the Temple of Great Emptiness, there's no need for any of us to worry about our lives!" Xu Liao retorted.

Smack!

This time, Xu Jing did not use his energy. Instead, he physically slapped Xu Liao with his hand.

Xu Liao's expression darkened from these hits. Half of his face had turned red and swollen.

"Do you really think the Temple of Great Emptiness only has good intentions?" Xu Jing questioned, "Their abbot, Kong Yuan, has cultivated the Fiend Zen and has descended into depravity a long time ago… All these years, he acts sanctimoniously, but there are no evil deeds he would not do in the dark. He's been going around feeding on other people's Primal Qi and cultivation bases!"

When Xu Liao heard this, his jaws dropped, clearly dumbfounded.

"That's a lie! I saw Grandmaster Kong Yuan's Golden Body with my own eyes! It's overwhelmingly pure! There's no way that it's fake!"

"You obstinate mule!" Xu Jing kicked Xu Liao without holding back.

Bam!

Xu Liao was sent flying to the side before he slid across the damaged floor.

Although Xu Jing was injured, he could still circulate his Primal Qi.

Xu Liao who had been hit by Thunderblast was greatly weakened. He would not be able to withstand another kick from Xu Jing. He sat limply on the ground.

The three of them had been waiting for their opportunity throughout these three days to strike with the Sky Fragment. Unfortunately, they never found the opportunity to do so. At the critical juncture, they thought they would be able to gain control of the situation and help the Four Divine Monks and get rid of Xu Jing's helpers. They really did not expect their opponent to be so… powerful!

Xu Jing's face contorted with pain as he said to Lu Zhou, "I'm sorry for this humiliating display, old benefactor… My temple's dirty laundry has been exposed. After this incident is dealt with, I'll personally deal with two of them and give you a satisfactory explanation, old benefactor."

Lu Zhou nodded.

Xu Jing was, perhaps, the only person in the Heaven Choice Temple who was tactful and reasonable.

Lu Zhou shifted his gaze to Xu Liao and said, "The Temple of Great Emptiness gave you the Sky Fragment?"

"Yes." Xu Liao was sore all over. He was cowering in fear at this moment.

Lu Zhou asked again, "Do you know where the other fragments are?"

"I… I don't know." Xu Liao shook his head.

"Really?"

Xu Liao nodded his head vehemently.

'That makes sense. He's only a small fry. There's no way that he'd know where the other Sky Fragments are.' Lu Zhou no longer asked about the Sky Fragments. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Hall of Great Strength.

Little Yuan'er and Zhao Yue's battles were easier. They were almost done cleaning up their opponents. The monks who chanted the Taien Mantra were just small fries with weak cultivation bases after all. They were only minor characters who were not worth much merit points.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin had completely gained the upper hand.

With one of its members missing, the Four, now Three, Monks' strength and cultivation bases were greatly weakened. Although they were doing their best to parry the attacks, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Little Yuan'er applauded gleefully. Then, she ran back and declared proudly, "Master, these monks are wimps… I didn't even use my full strength, and they're already knocked out."

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "They're only in the Brahman Sea realm…" He wanted to say something scathing, but upon remembering that he, himself, was also in the Brahman Sea Eight Meridians realm, he held his tongue.

"Ding! Killed a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm target. Reward: 1,000 merit points." Three similar notifications rang one after another.

Lu Zhou moved his gaze forward and saw that Kong Jue, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang had fallen.

Mingshi Yin's eyes seemed to gleam as he nodded in satisfaction and held the Separation Hook in his hands.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Sheng was wiping the dust away from his Overlord Spear…

Apart from their slightly ruffled clothing, they seemed unharmed.

After Mingshin Yin returned to Lu Zhou's side, he said, "I'm pleased to say I didn't let you down, master! I've killed the targets!"

"Very good," Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin and said, "However…"

Mingshi Yin's heart felt his heart leap. He thought his master would compliment him. Who knew there would be a 'however' at the end of the sentence?

Lu Zhou made a sharp turn with his words as he said, "However, it's thoroughly forbidden to cultivate another technique while cultivating the Bluewood Heart Technique."

"Master… I was only curious, and I couldn't help myself. That's why I learned the tunneling art. I swear I have no other motives for learning it!" Mingshi Yin said.

Lu Zhou said, "You will focus on cultivating the Bluewood Heart Technique from now on. Don't feel divided about it."

"Yes, master!" Mingshi Yin was overjoyed. Not only was he not punished, but his master had even advised him.

At this moment, all was quiet in front of the Hall of Great Strength.

The Heaven Choice Temple's disciples who had been tormented by the Taien Mantra were recovering after a moment of respite. They rose to their feet and looked at the damaged floor in front of the Hall of Great Strength before shifting their eyes to the incense cauldron… They took in the sight of the Temple of Great Emptiness' monks who had been defeated by the Evil Sky Pavilion's disciples!

This was the strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

The disciples from the Heaven Choice Temple gulped. Although they felt fearful, they felt at ease as well. After all, they had seen Lu Zhou's Golden Buddha Body with their own eyes!

'Who said devils couldn't become Buddhas?'

'Who said that all devils are evil?'

Naturally, Lu Zhou did not want to become a Buddha…

At this moment, the disciples from the Heaven Choice Temple gathered before the incense cauldron like they did before the battle began. Soon after, the area before the Hall of Great Strength seemed to be filled with them. They were battered, exhausted, and weak, some could not even stand without their comrades' support, and yet, they did not look like it when 1,000 of them stood together resolutely. They straightened their palms at the same time before themselves.

Xu Jing suddenly seemed invigorated. He looked at the disciples of the Heaven Choice Temple and said, "The Heaven Choice Temple is now safe." He turned around slowly to face Lu Zhou. He started coughing again. Then, he said, "Thank you for your help, Benefactor Ji."

At this moment, the 1,000 or so disciples before the Hall of Great Strength said in unison, "Thank you for your help, Benefactor Ji."

Although some of their voices were weak or incomprehensible, their collective voice rang loud and clear when it reached Lu Zhou's ears. It had an aura that was indescribable, it was as though they were given a new lease on life.

"Ding! Received pious worship from 982 individuals. Reward: 9,820 merit points."

Lu Zhou was pleased. In hindsight, it seemed that his initial choice was the right choice. "I'll have the sable magnolia now."
