My Disciples Are All Villains-Chapter 1105 - Master, You’re Wise and Mighty

All of the members of the Black Tower Council did not dare to breathe loudly at all; they did not even dare to look at each other.

Lu Si’s face was drenched in sweat, and his hand trembled from nervousness.

Lu Zhou did not pay attention to the others. Instead, he turned around and called out tonelessly, “Old Eighth.”

Zhu Honggong shivered. He hurriedly said, “As it turns out, master decided to grace us with his presence. Master, your disguise earlier is flawless! It’s impossible to see through; that’s how perfect it is! M-master… master, I know my mistakes!” He kowtowed again.

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “You’re really amazing; you have no regard for me at all…”

“No, no, no, there’s no such thing! Master, your disguise is perfect beyond words. My cultivation is shallow so it’s impossible for me to see through your disguise. Even if I’m boosted with all the courage in the world, I still don’t dare to disregard master!”

Lu Zhou said ambiguously, “Do you think I don’t know that you’re making arrangements behind my back?”

Zhu Honggong was stunned. When he regained his senses, he hurriedly said, “There’s no such thing! Master, my respect and admiration for you is unchanging like the sun and the moon.” Then, he pointed at Lu Li before he continued to say, “There are no lies in my words. Old Lu can attest to this. In fact, every time Old Lu speaks ill of you, I will chastise him immediately!”

Lu Li. “…”

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li and asked, “Lu Li, do you still remember me?”

When Lu Li met Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou’s appearance was not so old. Therefore, although he found Lu Zhou familiar, he did relate him to the person he met back then.

“I met you for the first time at the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, and you gave me the Birth Chart map,” Lu Zhou said.

Realization dawned on Lu Li. “It’s you?! That Ten-leaf cultivator?”

At this moment, Zhu Honggong interjected, “Master, Old Lu says he has many things to say to you!”

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li as he stroked his beard, “Is that so?”

Lu Li shook his head and said with a straight face, “Don’t listen to your nonsense. I, Lu Li, am a straightforward person. If I have something to say, I’ll say it. We’ve only met once before this, why would I have anything to say to you?”

“Hey, hey, Old Lu, this isn’t how you talked when we were in Great Qing.”

“That’s enough,” Lu Zhou interjected. Then, he looked at Lu Li and said, “I know what you want to say to me…”

Lu Li was confused.

Lu Zhou said, “You want to join my Evil Sky Pavilion, right?”

“Uh…” Lu Li was stunned; he did not understand what was going on.

Lu Zhou continued to say with a straight face, “Since you want to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, I’ll allow you to be the Right Envoy of the Evil Sky Pavilion; we already have a Left Envoy. Are you willing?”

Zhu Honggong was stunned. Then, he said in a low voice, “M-master… T-this… Lu Li is from the Black Tower Council… He’s a… a… Thousand Realms…”

Lu Zhou did not wait for Zhu Honggong to finish speaking before he said, “Slap yourself.”

Slap!

Zhu Honggong did not hesitate to slap his mouth. Then, he said ingratiatingly, “I shouldn’t have interrupted you, master…”

Lu Zhou turned around and called out, “Lu Si.”

Lu Si was the Fourth Elder of the Black Tower Council; he was one of the core members of the Upper Tower.

“Pavilion Master Lu, h-how may I help you?” Lu Si asked in a trembling voice.

Lu Zhou said, “Lu Li wants to join my Evil Sky Pavilion. Do you have any objections?”

Lu Si shook his head vehemently and said, “Of course not! It… It’s Lu Li’s fortune to be able to join the Evil Sky Pavilion!”

Lu Li. “???”

Lu Li was thoroughly confused with Lu Si and the other Black Tower Council members’ subservient attitude. He could not figure out what was wrong with them.

Lu Zhou asked again, “What about Xia Zhengrong?”

“I will report this to Tower Master Xia. Pavilion Master Lu, don’t worry. No one will dare to object to Lu Li joining the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

In fact, Lu Zhou only asked these questions so Lu Li could hear Lu Si’s replies. He wanted Lu Li to know even if they were given all the courage in the world, the Black Tower Council would not dare to oppose him.

“Good.” Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he turned to Lu Li and said, “On account of how you’ve taken care of Old Eighth, I’ll show you mercy and allow you to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. You should know that everyone in the world wants to join the Evil Sky Pavilion but doesn’t have the chance. You should be grateful that I’m giving you this chance…”

Lu Li. “…”

“Needless to say, once you join the Evil Sky Pavilion, you’ll have to abide by the rules of the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Lu Zhou said.

Lu Li was still confused. All these words did not make sense to him; he did not know what was going on.

Lu Zhou did not wait for Lu Li’s reply and said to the others, “Rise.”

Everyone from the Black Tower Council rose to their feet.

The red lotus cultivators rose to their feet as well, feeling as though they were dreaming.

On the contrary, Zhu Honggong kowtowed and said, “I won’t get up. Master, I haven’t seen you for a long time; now that I’m able to see you again, I’m in an indescribably good mood. Therefore, I’d like to continue kneeling to express my gratitude and happiness…”

“…”

‘Your words are really pretty…’

Lu Li turned to look at Zhu Honggong speechlessly.

At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “Lu Li, I’m still waiting for your reply…”

“This… this…” Lu Li had never been more confused in life.

Lu Si hurriedly interjected, “Lu Li, hurry up and greet Pavilion Master Lu. It’s your good fortune that Pavilion Master Lu has taken a fancy to you!”

Lu Li was shocked. What the hell was this? Where was the authority, dignity, and integrity of the Black Tower Council? At this time, he discovered all the members of the Black Tower Council were looking at him meaningfully, making his hair stand on end.

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li as he stroked his beard.

Lu Li, still in a daze and still confused, bowed and said, “Lu Li greets Pavilion Master Lu.”

“Ding! You’ve been rewarded with 1,000 merit points for recruiting a subordinate.”

“Very good.” Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he turned and walked toward Lu Si and the others.

Zhu Honggong raised his head slightly. When he saw his master walking away, he patted the sand off his forehead and moved to Lu Li’s side. “Old Lu, you really have a discerning eye. Welcome!”

“Screw you…” Lu Li felt like a country bumpkin who had come to the city for the first time and could not keep up with the times.

“Old Lu, my master is grateful to you that’s why he let you join the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Zhu Honggong said.

At this moment, Lu Zhou turned around and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“N-nothing. I’m just saying you’re really wise and capable. You can even get Old Lu to willingly join the Evil Sky Pavilion…” Zhu Honggong said.

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li and said, “Lu Li, does that mean you’re unwilling?”

Lu Li shook his head and said, “Since I agreed to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, how can I be unwilling?”

With that Lu Zhou ignored the others and stroked his beard as he asked Lu Si, “Why didn’t the Black Tower Council stay in the black lotus domain? Why are you here?”

Lu Si replied, “We received news that Great Yuan’s royal court and the Dark and Light Alliance might invade the red lotus domain. Since the Black Tower Council… Since the Black Tower Council’s towers collapsed, we’re not as strong as before. W-we know that the red lotus domain has many fierce beasts so we hoped to obtain life hearts. Earlier… earlier… I saw that you have a… a life heart….” He trailed off before he hurriedly said, “Please forgive me, Pavilion Master Lu!”

Lu Li and Zhu Honggong looked at the life heart in Lu Zhou’s hand.

“This is…” Lu Li could not tell what was so special about the life heart.

Lu Zhou channeled his energy into the life heart. In just a blink of an eye, the muddied crystal from before shone dazzlingly. Earlier, he had used his Primal Qi to suppress the life heart’s energy to make it look ordinary.

“A beast king’s life heart?!” Lu Li exclaimed in shock.

Lu Zhou said, “This is the Nether Wolf King’s life heart.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Lu Li and Zhu Honggong instinctively turned to look at the seawater that was dyed red.

Lu Zhou continued to ask, “There’s no need to send so many people, right? Why didn’t Xia Zhengrong Come?”

“We only want life hearts; we don’t want any conflicts with the royal court. The beast tide this time is rather strange. We suspect the intelligent beasts are behind this, hence, we sent more people out to prevent any mishap,” Lu Si replied.

“Is that so?”

“If there’s a single lie in my words, you can behead me and I won’t complain, Pavilion Master Lu,” Lu Si said. After a beat, he added, “I suspect Great Yuan’s royal court is behind this. They’re carrying out the annihilation plan here…”

Lu Zhou frowned and asked, “Isn’t the annihilation plan the Black Tower Council’s plan?”

Lu Si answered honestly, “No, it’s not exclusive to the Black Tower Council. It’s a plan that’s common among forces in the black lotus domain. The core purpose of the plan is to remove obstacles that interfere with one’s interests so one can completely control one’s target. Every once in a while, the beasts of the Endless Ocean will disturb the humans. It’s very likely that Great Yuan’s royal court wants to use the fierce beasts to destroy the red lotus domain…”

“They’re quite daring…” Lu Zhou said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Si said tentatively, “Pavilion Master Lu comes from the golden lotus domain; I don’t think they dare to act against the golden lotus domain.”

“Didn’t anyone tell you that the red lotus domain is my territory as well?” Lu Zhou asked indifferently.

“…”

Lu Si’s forehead was drenched in sweat, and his mouth was dry. Hu hurriedly nodded and said, “The Black Tower Council has no intention of making an enemy out of the Evil Sky Pavilion. I hope Pavilion Master Lu can forgive us.”

“When you return, tell Xia Zhengrong that if the collective demotion of the Black Tower Council can happen once, it can happen a second time…”

Lu Si shivered as he bowed. “I understand.”
