My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 944 - The North Has The Kun

Chapter 944: The North Has The Kun

The first time Lu Zhou crossed the Endless Ocean it was on an old and rickety Sky Shuttle. Since they traveled through the fog above, he did not have a good look at the Endless Ocean. This time, he would not let go of such a good chance to have a good look. If it was possible he wanted to see that 30,000-foot colossal beast.
“Lu Li’s five Birth Charts and Thousand Realms Whirling avatar were enough for him to carry out missions at the Endless Ocean, I should be safe with my four Birth Charts and item cards. Who knows I might find my fifth life heart here…”
Di Jiang glided above the sea at lightning speed.
One after another, sea beasts jumped up along with the surging waves. There were even flying sea beasts that glided above the surface of the sea for a long time before diving back into the sea.
At this moment, a low groan rang from the depths of the sea.
Di Jiang instinctively shrank in fear and slowed its speed.
“It’s fine. Slow down.”
Di Jiang maintained the speed of an ordinary mount above the shadows that darted under the sea’s surface. Some of the shadows were over 1,000 feet long.
“Faster.”
Squawk!
Di Jiang flapped its wings and picked up speed as it rushed forward.
At the same time, sea beasts leaped up one after another around Lu Zhou and Di Jiang.
Woo…
The low groan rang from the sea again.
At this moment, Lu Zhou saw the surface of the sea suddenly swell up.
“Up.”
As Di Jiang flew up at lightning speed, Lu Zhou looked down at the sea.
As the sea’s surface swelled, huge waves surged up like a tsunami.
Soon enough, an unforgettable sight appeared in front of Lu Zhou’s eyes. The tsunami-like waves were nothing in comparison to the sight of the colossal sea beast that seemed hundreds of thousands of feet long breaking the surface of the sea.
The low groan grew louder and louder when suddenly the sea, as far as Lu Zhou’s eyes could see, disappeared under the colossal sea beast. All he could see when he looked down was the back of the colossal sea beast.
Di Jiang continued to fly at lightning speed; its speed was pushed to the limit.
At the same time, many sea beasts appeared in the sky before dropping down. These sea beasts were pushed out of the sea by the tsunami-like waves stirred up by the colossal sea beast. The sea beasts that could not fly ended up dropping and flopping on the back of the colossal sea beast, and those that could fly flew in all directions.
Flying in the midst of the sea beasts that were hundreds of feet tall, Lu Zhou suddenly felt insignificantly small. At this moment, he and Di Jiang were like flies flying among giants.
“Beast tide…” Lu Zhou muttered to himself. If these sea beasts were to come on land, how could humans hope to defend against them? Was it really some truth that the black lotus domain was protecting the red lotus domain?
Lu Li had once said his mission to the Endless Ocean was to kill a sea beast king. Was it to stop the sea beast king from bringing a beast tide to land?
Cultivation was an act of defiance against the heavens, after all. In the boundless universe, humans were no different from a speck of dust.
Lu Zhou waved his hand. An enhanced Deadly Strike Card appeared in his hand.
Woo…
Lu Zhou shook his head. What kind of sea beast was the colossal sea beast?
When Di Jiang was about to fly out of the range of the colossal sea beast, Lu Zhou silently recited the incantation for the power of sight and looked back.
He saw the colossal sea beast open its mouth and swallow countless sea beasts before it sank back into the depths of the sea.
“…”
It was said that there was a fish in the north named Kun. The exact size of the Kun was unknown; all that was known was that it was gargantuan. When the Kun transformed into a bird, it was known as Peng. The Peng’s back spanned thousands of miles, and its wingspan could cover the sky.
…
In the Imperial Palace in Great Yan’s Divine Capital.
Zhao Yue was dealing with the country’s affair when the eunuch, Li Yunzhao, walked in. He bowed and said, “Princess, the Empress Dowagers wish to see you.”
“Alright. I’ll be there in a moment.”
“Understood.”
Zhao Yue put the documents down and made her way to the Evergreen Palace. When she arrived, she saw that the entire place was heavily guarded.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
Zhaoyue waved her hand and solemnly asked, “What happened?”
“The Empress Dowager felt unwell today so she summoned the Imperial physicians over. They’re treating the Empress Dowager now.”
Zhao Yue knitted her eyebrows together. Although the Empress Dowager’s cultivation base was not high, generally, cultivators would not be afflicted with ordinary fevers, colds, or other illnesses. Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly feel unwell?
When Zhao Yue walked in, she saw Princess Yong Ning, Liu Wenjun, pacing back and forth in front of the door.
“Yong Ning.” Zhao Yue walked over. “What’s wrong with Grandma?”
“I don’t know. She said she has a headache.”
“Let’s go in and have a look.”
“Alright.”
However, when both of them were about to enter the room, two guards in black armor crossed their long halberds, blocking their path.
“This is…” Zhao Yue was taken back. She raised a palm and launched a palm strike.
The armored guards did not bother to dodge Zhao Yue’s attack at all.
‘Experts!’
Zhao Yue raised her head to look into the room. On the chair that the Empress Dowager usually sat on was a man with a slightly feminine appearance. He was also dressed in black armor, but unlike the guards, he did not wear a mask. His appearance was that of a scholar, but his clothes, body, and hands seemed to belong to someone who walked at the edge of a sword all year long.
At this moment, the man said, “Hello, let me introduce myself. My surname is Wu and my name is Chao. I’m a captain of the Black Guards from the Black Tower Council.”
Zhao Yue and Yong Ning’s expressions changed slightly.
“This is Great Yan’s Imperial palace… Why are you here?” Zhao Yue recalled Lian Xing’s words. It had not been seven days, why were these people here?
Despite the amiable smile on his face, Wu Chao said, “When has a hunter entering a sheep pen requires the permission of the sheep? Miss, don’t you think you’re overstepping your bounds.”
“Who are you?” Yong Ning asked with a frown.
“I have already told you,” Wu Chao said.
“What did you do to the Empress Dowager?” Yong Ning asked with a hint of panic.
“Don’t worry. We’ve always acted according to the rules. We never attack the weak. Naturally, if the weak becomes a hindrance, it’s another matter entirely,” Wu Chao said airily.
Zhaoyue asked warily, “Are you here to capture me?”
“No. I’m here to discuss cooperation with you,” Wu Chao said.
“What cooperation?”
Wu Chao smiled and said indifferently, “In the coming days, I’ll stay in the palace and explain the principle of the Black Tower Council to you…”
At this moment, dozen of palace experts rushed in from outside.
As soon as they appeared, Wu Chao waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “Clean this up.”
The blackguards with long halberds bowed and said, “Understood.”
In just a blink of an eye, the palace experts were sent flying out, and the blackguards returned to their positions.
Wu Chao nodded and said, “As a meeting fight, the blackguards won’t kill them. We’ll just teach them a small lesson.”
“The blackguards?” Zhao Yue frowned and asked, “You want to control Great Yan as well?”
Wu Chao was astute and Zhao Yue’s strange phrasing of her words did not escape him. “As well?”
“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. With my ability, I can’t do what you want,” Zhao Yue said.
“That’s true. Your cultivation is too weak… Logically speaking, I should choose someone close to the Ten-leaf stage. However, your identity is very special. Don’t worry, you can take your time to cultivate,” Wu Chao said, “It’s best if you’re obedient. You know nothing about the Black Tower Council. The best way to widen the horizons of the frogs at the bottom of the well is to destroy the well.”
Wu Chao flicked his sleeves.
A blackguard bowed.
Buzz!
A 400-foot Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared, destroying the Evergreen Palace.
A black astrolabe shining with a mysterious light hung at the back of the avatar. At the bottom of the avatar, a black lotus with ten leaves spun.
Yong Ning stumbled two steps back in shock when she saw this and fell limply into a chair.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yue was much calmer in comparison. She muttered under her breath, “Lian Xing was telling the truth…”
