My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1277 - At the Pillar of Destruction

Chapter 1277: At the Pillar of Destruction

Mingshi Yin jumped into the dried lake and cleared the area before he dug a pit and returned to the land. Then, he carefully gathered Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu’s remains.
The others wanted to help, but sensing the solemnity of the situation, they watched quietly in accordance with the rule that the dead were the most important. In fact, they did not particularly dislike Lord Zhennan or Tian Wu and even felt some sympathy for them. It was a pity that the duo was reduced to this state. They could only let out a long sigh.
Mingshi Yin placed Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu’s remains side by side at the bottom of the lake before he asked, “Master, should we leave a marker for their graves?”
“No need,” Lu Zhou said.
After they left, there would be experts and adventurers coming to Yu Zhong. Rather than leaving a marker for their graves, it would be better to let them return to nature.
Then, Mingshi Yin did as his master instructed and began to fill the lake up with soil. Following that, using his Bluewood Heart Technique, he accelerated the growth of the trees and the grass within a radius of 1,000 meters.
The devastated land after the battle was soon covered with lush and verdant trees and grass.
The burnt smell and the metallic smell of blood lingered in the air, the only indication that a terrible battle had taken place here.
Finally, everyone turned around to look at the Pillar of Destruction.
On the other hand, Lu Zhou briefly checked everyone’s situation. Apart from looking slightly disheveled, all of them were fine.
Lu Wu was originally in the worst state after being injured. However, with Whitzard’s help, it had recovered.
After Lu Zhou put away the Pillar of Impermanence, he said, “Collect everything.”
“Understood.”
It was finally time for them to harvest the spoils of war. This was also the most exciting time for the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Everyone scattered in all directions. They collected everything, including the weapons of the dead cultivators. They searched everywhere for fire lotuses, snow lotuses, blood ginseng, mystic life grass, and other natural treasures. Unfortunately, many of them were destroyed by Lord Zhennan’s flames.
They were not worried they had no place to store their harvest. With a huge fierce beast like Lu Wu, they could even take away all the treasures from the ten Pillars of Destruction.
…
At this time, Yannan was eerily quiet.
The four elders of the Ye Clan stood side by side and looked at the imbalance phenomenon in the sky.
Dark clouds covered the sky as the wind continued to howl and rage.
After the deaths of 36 flag bearers of the 36 Big Dipper Flag Formation, the remaining capable disciples had left Yannan with Ye Zheng.
The four elders, Ye Wei; Ye Yiqing; Ye Yuanjiu; and Ye Geng, wore solemn expressions on their faces and remained silent.
All of a sudden, like a meteor falling from the sky, a bare-chested Ye Zheng who looked utterly miserable dropped from the sky.
Boom!
When Ye Zheng landed, he could not find his footing and slid quite a distance away before coming to a stop. Following that, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Logically speaking, as a Venerable Master, Ye Zheng should not be in such a sorry state. Even if he had lost quite a number of Birth Charts, he was still a cultivator at the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. How could he be in such a state? He had lost all bearing of a Venerable Master.
“Venerable Master Ye?!” the four elders exclaimed in unison.
Ye Zheng rushed over and said, “Don’t ask. Quickly prepare the mystic life grass and the medicine bucket. I need to recover my Birth Charts.”
“What’s going on?” Ye Wei asked.
Ye Zheng frowned. He had never been one to vent his anger on his own people. After all, he was a high and mighty Venerable Master who stood above others; he would not stoop to such lowly behavior. He was revered and had a glorious reputation. However, at this moment, he was very close to losing his temper. Fortunately, the pain blunted the edges of his anger. Finally, he said, “Bring the Great Void Pills as well…”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Yiqing asked, “Have you forgotten the Great Void Pills have been given to Venerable Master Tuoba?”
“Then, bring me the things we have! I’m going into seclusion,” Ye Zheng said in a grave tone, “I won’t be seeing anyone for 100 years.”
Ye Wei asked anxiously, “What happened? Can you at least explain it to us?”
The other three elders stood in a row next to Ye Wei and bowed, blocking Ye Zheng’s path. Based on their actions, they were clearly not moving until Ye Zheng gave them an explanation.
Ye Zheng was livid. He finally lost control of his temper as he roared, “Ye Wei, how dare you!”
Ye Wei hurriedly fell to one knee. “Venerable Master, please calm down!”
“Scram!” Ye Zheng shouted.
However, Ye Wei did not move at all.
The other three elders followed suit and fell to their knees before saying in unison, “Venerable Master, please calm down!”
This was akin to adding fuel to Ye Zheng’s anger. He pointed at the distance and said, seething with fury, “All of you, get lost!”
Ye Wei looked into the distance and asked, “Are you the only one who came back?”
“Are you questioning me?” Ye Zheng suddenly felt like there was something amiss with the four elders’ attitude.
“Did they die?” Ye Wei asked again, undeterred.
Ye Zheng ignored Ye Wei. He endured the pain and brushed past the four elders. Just as he walked past Ye Wei…
Swoosh!
An energy sword suddenly shot out, piercing Ye Zheng’s back and exiting in front. It easily pierced through his slender and injured body.
The furious expression on Ye Zheng’s face was immediately replaced by one of shock and disbelief.
Drip!
Fresh blood dripped out of the wound caused by the green energy sword onto the moss-covered stone slab. The blood flowed out of his wound like the life leaving his body.
Ye Wei wore a pained expression on his face as he made a move again. He used Yannan’s strongest sword technique and struck again.
Ye Zheng was severely injured and was on the verge of collapse, to begin with. On top of that, he was also just pierced by the green energy sword. Now that he was mercilessly attacked again, he lost his balance immediately and fell to his knees. He wanted to ask why, but he suddenly felt that it was no longer important. Everything was no longer important.
“Only with your death can we protect Yannan…” Ye Wei said.
…
At the Pillar of Destruction in the Unknown Land’s Yu Zhong.
“Pavilion Master, we’ve searched everywhere. We’ve obtained 23 stalks of mystic life grass, 6 mystic microstones, 12 fire lotuses, 15 snow lotuses, 5 blood ginseng, 6 heaven-grade weapons, and two beast kings’ life hearts,” Yan Zhenluo reported.
“Life hearts?”
“The beast kings must have been caught in the battle…” Yan Zhenluo said.
Zhao Yu almost drooled when he heard these words. He quickly stepped forward and bowed before he asked, “Old sir, what about our previous agreement?”
“You’re dreaming!” Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes. “It’s good enough that master didn’t kill someone like you who stood on the fence, but you still dare to ask for the treasures?”
Zhao Yu. “…”
In the end, Zhao Yu said, “Brother, I’m human. I’m naturally afraid of death. Is there anyone who doesn’t want to live? I didn’t betray you, old sir, nor did I harm you. I was honest from the very beginning.”
Lu Zhou glanced at Zhao Yu and said, “Answer my question honestly.”
A joyful expression appeared on Zhao Yu’s face as he hastily said, “I’ll tell you everything I know, old sir.”
“You said yourself that you’re part of Great Qin’s royal family. Your identity must not be simple. Are you a relative of the royal family or are you the Crown Prince?” Lu Zhou asked.
Zhao Yu was stunned. The question was really direct.
Lu Zhou’s gaze swept past Zhao Yu’s men. They had been very respectful to Zhao Yu from the beginning to the end. Some of Zhao Yu’s men had higher cultivation bases than him, but they were no less respectful to him. This only further proved that Zhao Yu’s identity must be extraordinary.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu finally said, “Old sir, you’re thinking too much. I’m just someone without power and influence.”
“Give him some of the fire lotuses,” Lu Zhou said. He did not have time to waste with Zhao Yu now. The Pillar of Destruction was just right in front of him. It was time to go and have a look at it..
