My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1222: God’s Palm

Chapter 1222: God’s Palm

"Silence." One of the Confucian scholars released a wave of energy, causing everyone to fall silent.
Lu Zhou looked at Ye Zheng and Qin Renyue and asked, "According to the rules of the Unknown Land, it's first come, first served, right?"
Ye Zheng did not reply.
Qin Renyue, on the other hand, nodded and said, "That's right."
Lu Zhou nodded. "Alright. I found the Fire Phoenix first and was the first to arrive on the scene. According to the rules, the Fire Phoenix belongs to me."
How could Ye Zheng not understand what was going on at this moment? He said with a smile, "You really know how to pick the perfect time to appear. Where were you when Venerable Master Qin and I fought the Fire Phoenix for so long before we injured it? Moreover, how can you prove you were here first or if you found the Fire Phoenix first?"
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "To the south, you can find traces of the Fire Phoenix in the canyon."
Ye Zheng shook his head. "You may not know this, but my men have been here since half a month ago. Moreover, if anything, Venerable Master Qin deserved the Fire Phoenix more than you since we both played a part in injuring it."
Lu Zhou turned to look at Qin Renyue.
At this time, the trio was trying to probe each other.
Qin Renyue and Ye Zheng's energies only reached a few meters away from Lu Zhou before they suddenly vanished. They could not figure out the depths of his cultivation.
The unknown was usually a good deterrent.
Qin Renyue cursed Ye Zheng 18 times in his heart before he said, "That's true…"
Then, Ye Zheng added, "Brother Qin has already agreed to give the Fire Phoenix to me, good sir."
"Alright, if what he said is true, you can leave," Lu Zhou said to Qin Renyue as he ignored Ye Zheng. His tone was like that of an elder sending a child away.
"..."
At this time, Lu Zhou finally looked at Ye Zheng and said, "As for the Fire Phoenix, I'm determined to obtain it."
'Qin Renyue has already acquiesced to giving it to me, but now, this old man wants to snatch it from me!'
Ye Zheng frowned and cursed Qin Renyue 18 times in his heart. Should they not join forces at this time?
After a moment, Ye Zheng said, "About 150 kilometers north of this place, there's the beast emperor, Lu Wu."
Qin Renyue glanced at Ye Zheng. "So you knew all along?"
Ye Zheng ignored Qin Renyue and said, "That beast is on par with the Fire Phoenix so I hope you'll give up on the Fire Phoenix and go for Lu Wu…"
The spectators erupted in an uproar when they heard this.
"So that beast emperor north of this place is Lu Wu?"
"Lu Wu? The Lu Wu that killed everyone from the monster hunting squad with just one move?"
"I heard it speaks the human language. It's highly intelligent so it's difficult to deal with…"
"It had an owner once so it's not easy to tame it again. The Fire Phoenix is weaker now in comparison to Lu Wu since it's going to be reborn soon. Moreover, its value is higher. For all these reasons, who would choose Lu Wu over the Fire Phoenix?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Lu Zhou stroked his beard and placed his other hand on his back before he said, "You seem to have misunderstood something…"
"Hmm?"
"Lu Wu is my subordinate. Why do I need you to give him to me?"
Ye Zheng. "..."
Qin Renyue. "..."
Lu Zhou's words were like a stone that stirred up 1,000 waves.
The cultivators erupted into another uproar. Most of them were filled with disbelief.
After all, Ye Zheng and Qin Renyue were not even confident about subduing Lu Wu, and yet, the old man from the weak golden lotus domain claimed that Lu Wu was his subordinate. They felt as though the old man was insulting their intelligence and thought the old man was really f*cking good at boasting.
Lu Zhou shrugged inwardly, feeling helpless. No one believed him even when he was telling the truth.
Ye Zheng did not respond to Lu Zhou's shocking statement. Instead, he calmly asked, "So you really don't intend on giving up on the Fire Phoenix?"
Lu Zhou continued to look at Ye Zheng.
At this moment, Qin Renyue shot Yuan Lang a look. When Yuan Lang moved to his side, he asked in a low voice, "Are you certain this is that person from before?"
Yuan Lang replied in an equally low voice, "I'm very sure. There's no doubt he's the one who easily killed Zhu Yan…"
Qin Renyue waved his hand, dismissing Yuan Lang. After Yuan Lang flew back to his position, he called out, "Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng said, "Have you thought it through?"
"I have thought it through. I think what this old gentleman said makes sense…" Qin Renyue said.
Ye Zheng turned to Qin Renyue. "Qin Renyue!"
This time, it was finally Qin Renyue's turn to smile. 'Oh, you're allowed to trick me earlier, but I'm not allowed to do so? Let's see what happens to you after this. It's not a bad idea to watch two tigers fight. Perhaps, I might even gain something from it…'
Ye Zheng looked at the dark mountain crevice before he asked in a low voice, "We have no enmity so why must you be so stubborn and hostile?"
"No enmity?" Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Ye Wusheng colluded with the monster hunting squad to ambush my beast emperor, Lu Wu. How should we settle this score?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless when they heard these words. It was fine to brag once, but this old man was really addicted to bragging! This was really too much.
Lu Zhou did not mention Qin Moshang for now. He planned to deal with them one by one. These two Venerable Masters were strong; it would be foolish to fight both of them at once.
Unlike the spectators, Ye Zheng's expression turned grave upon hearing Lu Zhou's words. He recalled the things Ye Wusheng had recounted to him previously. He frowned. "It's you?"
"It's me." Lu Zhou nodded.
Upon seeing this exchange, Qin Renyue could infer that the two knew each other and seemed to be enemies. He hurriedly signaled to the 49 Swordsmen and retreated 100 meters.
Upon seeing Qin Renyue's actions, Ye Zheng cursed that sly old fox in his heart again. Then, he said, "Prepare to activate the flag formation."
At this time, the 35 Confucian scholars moved into their positions by their respective formation flags.
At this time, Ye Zheng had already regarded Lu Zhou as an expert on par with him. He flashed and threw the formation flag in his hand down like javelin.
Swoosh!
The formation flag stabbed into the ground accurately.
Ye Zheng flashed again, and in just a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lu Zhou. Then, he joined his palms together, and the image of the majestic Big Dipper appeared.
Lu Zhou could sense that special time-stopping ability, which could be the power of the Dao, again. He was not affected and could move freely. However, he could keenly sense the danger from Ye Zheng far surpassed that of Qin Naihe, who had 16 Birth Charts, and the ghost servant, who had 15 Birth Charts. The difference between one or two Birth Charts was like heaven and earth, after all.
With this, Lu Zhou did not hesitate to forgo using the divine power and crush the Deadly Strike Card in his hand. The vortex that appeared in his palm swiftly formed a palm seal before he slapped his hand out.
Ye Zheng's first move was, in fact, just to probe Lu Zhou's strength. When he saw the power of the dao did not affect Lu Zhou, he had thought Lu Zhou was a Venerable Master as well. When he was standing in front of Lu Zhou, he did not feel any dangerous aura from Lu Zhou at all. However, this time, he could feel a power that was strong enough to threaten his life shooting toward him. What kind of power was this?
The palm seal was strange.
Everyone could not figure it out. It was a little like the Confucian's Expansive Heavenly Energy palm seal, a little like the Buddhist's Great Vajra Wheel Hand Sign, and a little like the Taoist's palm seals.
At this time, Ye Zheng launched a palm seal to meet Lu Zhou's palm seal.
Boom!
The collision caused a wave of vertical energy to sweep out for 10,000 meters. It felt as though the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. The force from the collision cut a long and deep trench that seemed to have no end in sight on the ground.
Following that, Lu Zhou's palm seal continued to shoot toward Ye Zheng.
Everyone inhaled sharply when they saw Lu Zhou's palm seal manage to repel a Venerable Master's palm seal.
However, that was not the end. The palm seal that seemed like a mixture of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist schools suddenly grew 100 times in size, and its power increased explosively.
Ye Zheng was startled and dropped his arms. He was prepared to retreat.
However, as though it could read Ye Zheng's mind, the palm seal slapped forward at the perfect moment.
Boom!
The palm seal shook heaven and earth, waking the celestials and the demons. This… This was the palm of God Himself!
"..."
Ye Zheng dropped from the sky immediately.
The 35 Confucian scholars cried out in surprise, "Venerable Master Ye!"
Lu Zhou, however, frowned…
