My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 692 - Reversal

Chapter 692: Reversal

The cultivators in the air above Yu Province City sighed. They knew Senior Ji’s intention for doing this. However, taming a mount was an incredibly difficult feat. Moreover, this was a ferocious beast. As the saying went, ‘It’s easier to change a mountain than to change a person’s character’. Similarly, how could wild dogs change their nature? How could beasts tamper their instinct to dominate?
Although the cultivators sighed, they felt relieved as well.
Some of the cultivators hovering in the air and looked down and said, “Senior Ji, your might knows no bounds. You’re truly impressive. However, this beast is stubborn to the very end. In the end, it has brought about its own death.”
“Fortunately, you arrived in time, Senior Ji. Otherwise, there would’ve been a rain of blood in Yu Province City.”
Lu Zhou stared at Qiong Qi intently. He had yet to receive the notification of Qiong Qi’s death. Therefore, he knew Qiong Qi was not dead.
Lu Zhou continued to wait and observe, He would not leave until the result was clear. He had been fighting Qiong Qi for a long time and spent all his extraordinary power. Apart from that, he had exhausted his item cards as well. If it died like this, he would incur a huge loss.
Since Lu Zhou did not move, the other, naturally, did not dare to rush him. They remained hovering in the air as they looked down.
Without the barrier and the clouds in the skies, the heat of the scorching sun hit the land mercilessly. It shone on Qiong Qi whose eyes were closed.
The burned Qiong Qi looked like a piece of dried charcoal at this moment.
The cultivators’ cultivation bases could keep them cool so they did not mind the heat very much.
However, Qiong Qi was not as fortunate.
“Ding! Qiong Qi has given up on living.”
“Ding! Killed Qiong Qi. Reward: 5,000 merit points.”
“Given up on living?”
‘It really died? I’ve been painstakingly trying to tame it, but it died? Why did it give up on living?’ Lu Zhou’s mind was filled with questions.
At this moment, Bi An lunged forward.
Bam!
It landed on Qiong QI’s carcass and stomped on it, eyeing Qiong Qi warily.
“Bi An, get off it.”
Compared to the huge Qiong Qi, Bi An seemed small.
Bi An obeyed Lu Zhou’s order. It leaped off the carcass and lay down next to it as it kept its eyes trained on Qiong Qi.
Crack!
A crisp sound suddenly rang in the air.
‘Hm?’ Lu Zhou looked at Qiong Qi’s body. Qiong Qi’s body that was charred seemed to have cracked open.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Cracking noises continued to ring in the air.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators hovering in the air were shocked.
“This is…”
“Incredible, this is truly incredible!”
A cultivator who had a keen eye nodded as exclaimed, “I’ve loved reading books about beasts in the past! I didn’t expect to be able to see Qiong Qi in real life. Qiong Qi is notorious for its love to fight for dominance. It’s impossible to tame an adult Qiong Qi. However, it’s possible to tame a young Qiong Qi.”
“A young Qiong Qi?”
“Keep watching, everyone.”
Crack!
The charred portion of Qiong Qi’s body continued to crack.
Then, a louder crack rang in the air as the charred part broke away completely.
“It… I-it gave birth?” the others exclaimed in amazement.
Realization finally dawned on them.
Lu Zhou was also looking at Qiong Qi’s belly in surprise. As they expected, a young Qiong Qi emerged from the adult Qiong Qi’s belly. Its wings were as supple as a newborn. It had yellow fur, and its limbs were trembling from its weight. It climbed up with great difficulty on the charred Qiong Qi, looking as though it was going to fall at any moment.
Nobody expected the huge Qiong Qi’s offspring would be so tiny. It was rather difficult to believe. Its size was akin to that of domestic sheep; it was barely larger than a puppy.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at Qiong Qi’s pup. How awkward.
The cultivator who was knowledgeable about Qiong Qi cupped his fists and said, “Congratulations, Senior Ji, on obtaining the mount, Qiong Qi!”
Lu Zhou looked at the person and asked, “Do you know much about Qiong Qi?”
“Senior Ji… Qiong Qi isn’t like other beasts. According to the records, it’s one of the Four Perils. It’s so vicious that it would even devour its mother. Therefore, even if you didn’t kill the adult Qiong Qi, the pup will one day devour its mother as well. Qiong Qi is very intelligent. To prevent that from happening, usually, they would not mate. What a surprise that this one was pregnant.”
Upon hearing these words, the others cupped their fists together.
“Congratulations, Senior Ji.”
Lu Zhou nodded. He looked at the person and said, “You’re not bad.”
“Thank you, Senior Ji… I’ve always admired the Evil Sky Pavilion. I wonder if I may… join the pavilion?”
Everyone instantly turned to look at the man.
Lu Zhou said, “I’ve always admired talented people. Since you have the intention, you may join the Nether Sect’s branch in Yu Province City and become its branch master. What do you think?”
The man was elated when he heard these words. He bowed and said, “Thank you, Senior Ji!”
This also showed the others that joining the Evil Sky Pavilion was not easy as they thought it would be.
At this moment, the little Qiong Qi took a few faltering steps on the charred carcass as it flapped its wings.
Swoosh!
The little Qiong Qi leaped off.
Thud!
It fell onto the ground in a spectacular manner.
Lu Zhou frowned as he saw this. He considered his options. A second ago, he had felt he had obtained the most powerful mount in the world. Now, he felt that might not necessarily be the case.
Lu Zhou checked the system dashboard. As he expected, Qiong Qi’s name was added to the list. This meant that little Qiong Qi was indeed his mount.
Little Qiong Qi was not discouraged by this little setback. Instead, it got back up on its feet and walked to Lu Zhou…
Woof! Woof! Woof!
It barked at Bi An, looking like a puppy trying to be fierce,
Lu Zhou was speechless.
Bi An bared its fangs.
Little Qiong Qi immediately lowered its head. Its bark became a whimper.
The other cultivators broke out in laughter. Even so, none of them dared to underestimate this little Qiong Qi.
“Senior Ji, this Qiong Qi might be little now, but it grows at a very quick pace compared to humans. I believe it’ll become a powerful helper to you in less than a few years.”
‘A few years?’ Lu Zhou could not even wait for months. He waved his arm. He sent it onto Bi An’s back with his energy and said, “Look after it.”
Bi An lay down.
Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi flew over, each with a person in tow.
“Congratulations, Senior Ji,” the duo said in unison.
The cultivators in the skies were puzzled when they saw this.
When the two cultivators whom Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi brought over saw the huge carcass, a frightened expression appeared on their faces as their eyes widened in shock.
“Qiong Qi is dead?”
“H-he’s even capable of killing Qiong Qi. This…”
Both of them gulped, speechless.
Nan Gongwei looked at the two of them before kicking them. “On your knees! Don’t you know that you should salute Senior Ji when you see him?’
The two of them fell to their knees immediately.
“Senior Ji… We’re from the same side. Why are you doing this?!”
“That’s right… What did we do? Why are you treating us like this?”
The duo feigned an innocent expression on their faces.
The cultivators hovering in the air did not understand what was happening. They turned to look at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, “Where did two of you enter from?”
The duo’s hearts trembled. However, they feigned a bewildered expression and said, “Enter from where? I don’t understand,”
Lu Zhou flipped his palm. The Golden Taixu Mirror appeared. With his remaining Primal Qi, he activated the mirror and shone its golden light at the duo…
