My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 274 - Persuading with Fists

Chapter 274 Persuading with Fists
The energy-wrapped weapons collided with Li Yunzhao’s palm.
He intercepted the weapons with his bare hand!
Clearly, the assassin had underestimated Li Yunzhao. Even though he was injured, he was not someone who could be killed by these hidden weapons.
Li Yunzhao turned to look as he tossed the weapon aside and said, “There’s no need to be surprised… It’s just someone with ulterior motives who wants to get me out of their way. This has happened far too often.” Lu Zhou looked at the hidden weapon which was now lying on the ground.
For the weapon’s might to be accentuated to such a degree, the assassin was no ordinary elite cultivator.
As expected, Great Yan’s Divine Capital was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Nobody was actually fazed by this.
Since Liu Bing’s mental qualities were much tougher than the common man, he merely glanced at it and said, “An assassin?”
“With a cultivation base of at least One-leaf… Interesting,” Liu Bing mumbled.
Li Yunzhao searched the perimeter with his gaze, trying to locate his target.
As he kept his guard up, he said, “My life isn’t worth much… If the Empress Dowager doesn’t trust me, I would’ve been dead a long time ago. I can’t have possibly stayed alive until this day.”
As expected…
A black figure shot past the corner of the pagoda, sprinting along the windowsills of the pagoda.
Clearly, this person had been trailing Li Yunzhao from the start.
Li Yunzhao was so exasperated that his voice changed as he shouted, “Despicable vermin!”
His sharp tone sounded peculiar when he uttered a curse, but it somehow emphasized how angry he was.
Just when the others felt helpless, Lu Zhou said, “Yuan’er.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Catch him.” “Teehee…Yes, Master.” Little Yuan’er was exceptionally pleased to receive such an order for the first time.
The reason why Lu Zhou had given this mission to Little Yuan’er was that Little Yuan’er was the bane of mice like these. She also had many treasures. Even though her cultivation base was only at the One-leaf stage, she could easily beat a stalker on the same rank.
Little Yuan’er pushed away from the ground and rose straight into the skies above the Prince of Qi Mansion while her Nirvana Sash spread out like a blossoming rose.
When she unleashed her Seven Starts Cloud Treading Steps in her Cloud-treading Boots, bluish starlight adorned the night sky. It seemed more dazzling and brilliant above the Divine Capital at night.
Whoosh!
As she vanished, Li Yunzhao swallowed in shock. Even though he knew that this little girl was weaker than he was, he felt powerless.
Qin Jun and Hong Fu had spent most of their time in the Divine Capital, so they had seen a fair share of elites.
However, they had never met such a genius. To think that she had such a wonderful cultivation base at her age! If she was given more time, how far would this little girl be able to go? No one knew.
After a moment’s silence, Liu Bing snapped back to the present. With a clap of his hands, he said, “I heard that the Evil Sky Pavilion’s disciples are all amazing in their own right. I now see that it’s true! I’m duly impressed!”
“You sure chat a lot,” said Lu Zhou.
“I…” Liu Bing suddenly felt that he was acting too haughtily before such an individual, hence, he toned down his regal voice and said, “All I want is to get to know you, Old Mister.” “Get to know me?”
“I’ve just returned from Rongxi. There are many things about the Divine Capital that I don’t understand and I like to make friends. With your cultivation base, Old Mister, I find it a waste if you can’t talk freely about life over some wine,” Liu Bing said.
“So, you went to the Heavenly Sword Sect?” Lu Zhou asked.
Liu Bing shuddered and said, “You know about that, Old Mister? As expected, you have an extensive information network. Indeed, I have been to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Unfortunately, Luo Xingkong was hellbent on having that fight to the death. Alas…it didn’t end well for him.”
“Do you know about what happened at the Lotus Dais?”
“I’ve heard about it…I heard that you’ve saved many cultivators out of kindness. Currently, rumor has it that you’re a kind person, a living Buddha,” said Liu Bing. “Do you think that I shouldn’t be a kind person?”
“No-no-no…” Liu Bing hastily waved his hand and said, “Quite the contrary. If you’re not a kind person, Old Mister, who is? If you aren’t, that bunch of cultivators would’ve already all died a gruesome death!”
He noticed that the conversation was progressing in a dangerous direction. This old villain Ji did not seem to be a person with whom he could easily get along. Also, it seemed as if he could easily offend him.
“That was close.’
He nearly made it sound as if Lu Zhou was the one who had threatened the survivors to spread the good word about him. Even though he felt that this version was more believable, he could never say that to Ji Tiandao’s face.
Liu Bing was starting to regret having ever come here.
At this moment, the scarlet Nirvana Sash danced above the Prince of Qi Mansion, resembling a dancing dragon.
Little Yuan’er’s figure could barely be seen. This was a trick of the eye that was the result of extremely quick movements.
She flew in circles while using her Nirvana Sash as footholds in her Cloud-treading Boots. Then, the sash was retracted and wrapped around her body. It wound itself around her waist and tied itself in a bowtie.
Fuh!
Little Yuan’er gave the cultivator in dark night clothes she was carrying a good kick.
Thud!
The cultivator fell into the Prince of Qi Mansion’s courtyard.
As he shivered, the black-clad person dared not move.
“Ding! Captured a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm target. Reward: 200 merit points.”
Li Yunzhao gave the person a sweeping gaze. He exclaimed in shock, “His sea of Qi has been destroyed. This…”
Little Yuan’er slowly descended.
With the Nirvana Sash around her waist and coupled with the effect of the Cloud Feather Raiment, she could have been mistaken as a deity from the heavens. The little girl had grown up, after all.
Little Yuan’er cupped her fists and said, “Master, I can explain! I didn’t do it on purpose. He kept running away, and I had no choice but to break his sea of Qi with a punch.”
‘What a fierce little girl!’
She spoke the most chilling words in the meekest tone.
Was this the youngest disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion?
Li Yunzhao had to admit that he would have to reevaluate the Evil Sky Pavilion and correct his previous misconceptions. Even if old villain Ji were to kick the bucket, these disciples of his were already matured!
Who could guarantee that the nine disciples would not grow into nine old villain Jis in the future?
However, Qin Jun said, “I, for one, think that this is a wonderful way to deal with him, Miss Ninth. We mustn’t forget…that such vermin are exceptionally sly. This is the only way to make sure that there won’t be any surprises.”
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. “Very good.”
It was a good thing that his disciples showed growth.
Little Yuan’er giggled, feeling elated. “Thank you for the compliment, Master! I’ll surely work harder!”
This seemed wrong somehow.
Li Yunzhao and the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, were speechless.
Little Yuan’er walked up to the man, placed her hands on her hips, and demanded, “Who sent
you?”
The black-clad person said nothing.
“If you’re not going to talk, I’ll take you back to the Evil Sky Pavilion and have my Third Senior Brother, no, my Fourth Senior Brother torture the living hell out of you. My Fourth Senior Brother has methods of torture that you could never think of…”
Crunch!
The black-clad person’s eyes widened, and his head lolled to the side.
Li Yunzhao bent down and checked for his breath. “He’s dead.”
“Huh? Dead… What a coward!” Little Yuan’er was flustered. She looked at her master innocently as she was worried that her master might blame her for this.
Li Yunzhao said, “He bit off his own tongue… He was carrying poison in his mouth. People like him live on the edge of a knife on a daily basis and they’re prepared to throw their lives away. Once they’re captured by the enemy, they will take their own lives.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and sighed.
‘What a shame. I should’ve let Little Yuan’er end him. That way, I could’ve at least get some merit points out of him. Is there something wrong about the way I’m teaching my disciples?’
