My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 563 - An Insult to Brother Ji

Chapter 563: An Insult to Brother Ji

If the students of the Big Dipper Academy were allowed to correct the world, why would his own disciple be denied that same right?
Zhou Youcai was at a loss for words. “The Nether Sect is of the Fiend Path, after all… Everything the Fiend Path does go against the heavens. Aren’t you worried that the people might reject a change in government?”
“Oh, so now you’re thinking about the people?”
As the saying went, ‘Water may keep the boat afloat, but it may also sink it’. This was a truth that had never changed since time immemorial.
Although cultivators wielded the power to destroy mortals, the new blood that the cultivation world needed was forever dependent on mortals. If the oppression continued, as time passed, mortals who became cultivators would lash back cultivators who trampled on them once they gained enough power. Even the animals in the forests understood this basic law of survival, let alone humans. This was the lesson humans learned after paying with generations of bloodshed.
“How can you guarantee that Yu Zhenghai won’t harm the civilians, Senior Ji?” Zhou Youcai asked.
In truth, nobody could guarantee that. Where there was war, there would always be casualties. However, the entire act should be justified, at least.
Before Lu Zhou could answer, Mingshi Yin said, “You’re shameless. Ma Luping has already done something that incurs the wrath of humans and gods, and yet, you’re turning a blind eye to it. My Eldest Senior Brother hasn’t done anything of that sort, and you’re already assuming that he will. What distorted reasoning is this?”
“…” Zhou Youcai had no retort for that.
“Besides… The Imperial family has provoked the Evil Sky Pavilion time and time again. My master is already very merciful for not killing all of you here and clearing the path for my Eldest Senior Brother. Don’t you go thinking that you’re worthy to sit here and debate with my master just because you’re the Big Dipper Academy’s president. If my master wasn’t a reasonable man with morals, you would’ve been killed with a single palm strike long ago.”
“…”
Zhou Wenliang, Wang Jianrang, and Zhang Gong who were standing nearby shuddered. The statement seemed awkward. What a joke! It was delivered by a villain talking about reason and morals! Nevertheless, it still made them shiver despite the temperature. However, he had a point. If the old villain wanted to solve the problem, killing Zhou Youcai with a single palm strike was a more efficient method, right?
Boom!
A thunderous noise rang in the air again before Yan Province City’s barrier finally shattered like glass. There was no longer anything protecting Yan Province City.
Tens of thousands of Nether Sect members swarmed into the city. The cultivators who hovered in the air immediately began their slaughter.
Smoke rose from the city. People were being killed everywhere.
Wars had always been cruel.
Zhou Youcai sighed helplessly and shook his head.
At this moment, Lu Zhou turned to look at Zhou Wenliang and asked, “When will the Sky Conduct Academy be here?”
Zhou Wenliang answered, “I’ve contacted the Sky Conduct Academy… but its president holds himself in high regard. I’m afraid that he won’t meet me since I’m only the Taixu Academy’s Second Elder.”
Lu Zhou looked at Zhou Youcai and said, “The Sky Conduct Academy has a greater ego compared to the Big Dipper Academy.”
Zhou Youcai said, “Indeed, Meng Nanfei is proud. The battle at Yan Province City has already started. I don’t think he’ll be coming… If I’m not mistaken, he’ll be rushing to Yan Province City to aid Ma Luping.”
The others looked at the fierce battle in Yan Province City. Without its barrier, avatars, energy blades, and energy swords could be seen everywhere in the city.
Meanwhile, the Nether Sect’s flying chariot advanced slowly, taking out dozens of people as it moved.
“The Sky Conduct Academy disciples are nowhere to be seen,” Mingshi Yin said as he looked at Yan Province City, “Looks like Eldest Senior Brother is winning!”
Zhou Youcai’s expression was unreadable. He dared not move. Even the 1,000 disciples waiting for him outside dared not move as well. Who would be bold enough to rush to their deaths in front of a Nine-leaf cultivator?
At this very moment, a blue-clad cultivator flew toward them between mountains on the left.
“It’s someone from the Sky Conduct Academy,” Mingshi Yin said.
“I’ll go meet him.” Zhou Wenliang volunteered. He flew and greeted the newcomer in the air. “I’m Zhou Wenliang, the Second Elder of the Taixu Academy. May I know who you are, sir?”
The blue-clad cultivator responded with a question, “So, you’re Zhou Wenliang?”
“Yes, I am.”
“You cur!”
Zhou Wenliang frowned when he heard the insult. It was common etiquette to not hit a person’s face during a fight. The Taixu Academy was in a sorry state as it was. How could Zhou Wenliang not be angered by this insult? Alas, there was nothing he could do. Even a tiger outside its territory would be bullied by dogs. Moreover, this was someone from the Sky Conduct Academy. In the end, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Where’s President Meng?”
The blue-clad cultivator said scornfully, “That’s none of your business. Do you think a stray dog has the right to speak to President Meng?”
Zhou Wenliang fought back his anger and said, “If you’re here to mock me, then I’ll ask you to leave.”
Swoosh!
A figure flew toward the duo from behind and called out, “Hey, don’t go!”
The blue-clad cultivator asked, “And you are?”
Zhou Wenliang introduced the newcomer. “This is the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Mister Fourth.”
The blue-clad cultivator frowned deeply and shouted, “Zhou Wenliang, are you colluding with the Fiend Path now?!”
“Watch your words! What do you mean by colluding?” Mingshi Yin was not pleased with the blue-clad cultivator’s choice of words.
“Isn’t he?”
“My master’s on the twin rock peak. He has invited the two presidents to enjoy the scenery and discuss the affairs of the world. How’s that colluding? I’m not too happy with that term. In fact, I’m angry,” Mingshi Yi said.
“Are you nuts?” The blue-clad cultivator looked at Mingshi Yin, perplexed.
Zhou Wenliang shook his head.
At this moment, a majestic voice rang from the mountain’s peak. “Old Fourth.”
Mingshi Yin immediately bowed. “Yes, master.”
“If you can’t reason with him, kill him.”
“…” When the blue-clad cultivator heard the majestic voice, he was about to lash out in anger when he saw Mingshi Yin moving toward him at lightning speed. Mingshi Yin’s speed sent chills running up his spine.
A cold light glinted in Mingshi Yin’s hand.
Swish!
The blue-clad cultivator felt a chill; he quickly summoned his avatar.
“Too late!” Mingshi Yin cried out as he shot past the blue-clad cultivator. He did not even spare the cultivator a glance.
The battle had ended before it even began.
Zhou Wenliang gulped. The blue-clad cultivator did not seem weak, but he had been killed in just an instant? Just how powerful was the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Mister Fourth?
The blue-clad cultivator felt his chest being slashed open. He saw the blood gushing out from the wound. His eyes wide open as he looked at Zhou Wenliang. He pointed at Zhou Wenliang. “Y-you… you…”
“Don’t blame me. You brought this upon yourself.”
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”
On the peak, the atmosphere was slightly tense.
The Big Dipper Academy disciples were silent.
President Zhou Youcai lifted his sleeve to his face to wipe his sweat away.
Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need to feel nervous, President Zhou… I’ve always been reasonable. However, trying to reason with an unreasonable person is a waste of time and effort, don’t you agree?”
“Y… Y-yes…” President Zhou was slightly nervous despite Lu Zhou’s words.
Huang Shijie applauded and said, “I never knew Mister Fourth is this skilled.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “… It’s not that he’s powerful, it’s just that the Sky Conduct Academy disciple was too weak.” His tone was airy despite its heavy meaning.
Everyone’s heart thumped wildly in their chests when they heard Lu Zhou’s words. It… It seemed like Lu Zhou was saying the blue-clad cultivator could not blame anyone for his death but his weakness.
“In terms of cultivation base, Mingshi Yin still has much room for improvement. Look at that.” Lu Zhou pointed at Yan Province City.
A saber flew out of the Nether Sect’s huge chariot. Energy sabers filled the air. There was a rain of blood. Anyone who got close to the flying chariot was minced by the energy blades. Dismembered limbs rained down from the sky.
Huang Shijie nodded and said, “Sect Master Yu’s Great Dark Heaven Memorial has reached great heights. Even I have to admit defeat.”
Zhou Youcai looked at Huang Shijie. He sounded less confident now. “Island Master Huang, you’re Penglai’s most powerful Eight-leaf umbrella cultivator. You have the black umbrella, a peak earth-grade weapon. And yet, you don’t think you’re a match for Sect Master Yu?” In front of Lu Zhou, he, naturally, did not dare to use the offensive word ‘villain’ when he spoke about Yu Zhenghai.
Huang Shijie replied, “President Zhou, you flatter me. Your comparison of me and Sect Master Yu is akin to comparing the students of Big Dipper Academy and yourself. This is an insult to Sect Master Yu.”
“…”
“It’s also an insult against Brother Ji.”
“…”
