My disciples are all villains.

The three black-clad cultivators hovered high up in the sky. One looked down; one looked to the left and right; one looked in the direction of the royal palace in the distance. Their division of labor was very clear.

"This person's cultivation method is an extremely strong cultivation method with strong vitality energy; it's clearly a wood element cultivation method. His aura is very stable but strange. He should be at the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. His mount, Qiong Qi, is a descendant of an ancient fierce beast."

"The royal palace is five kilometers from here. It's not wise to use our avatars here. The best way is to use witchcraft."

"So far no one has come here except for that person. He should've been attracted by Xiao Yunhe's avatar."

"Focus on dealing with that person. Since it's a wood element cultivation method, use fire to suppress him. Move two kilometers away and suppress the commotion."

"Be careful. That Qiong Qi isn't ordinary. It must have received great nourishment all year round."

"Let's do this."

The trio nodded, finally reaching an agreement.

Boom!

The vines from the Bluewood Heart Technique shot up into the sky before they shattered.

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

A figure flew onto Qiong Qi's back before rushing into the distance.

"Tower Master Xiao, I'm sorry. These three perverts are too f*cking scary! I'll leave first and bring reinforcements!"

Xiao Yunhe. "..."

The three black-clad cultivators hovering in the air were speechless as they watched Mingshi Yin swiftly fleeing.

"Should we give chase?"

"No."

"I think we should chase after him."

"We've already achieved our goals. There's no need to chase after a stray dog."

"Alright, let's return."

The three black-clad turned around and returned to their two companions' sides. All five of them surrounded Xiao Yunhe again.

"I'm very sorry your so-called friend abandoned you."

"There are no true friends in this world, only mutually beneficial friendships."

"You must be in despair now that your friend abandoned you."

"I can feel your helplessness and sorrow…"

"You stole our mystic microstones and our mystic life grass; you should be punished accordingly."

Xiao Yunhe was stunned. He pointed at them and said loudly, "Wait! So it's you!"

"You finally remember."

"Your memory is quite good. Unfortunately, it's of no help to you…"

Xiao Yunhe was confused by these five people. They could take turns to speak; why must they speak at the same time? He interrupted them and said, "I thought you're Xia Zhengrong's men. I'll return the mystic microstones and mystic life grass to you. What do you think?"

The five black-clad cultivators exchanged a look.

"He said he wants to return the mystic microstones and mystic life grass to us."

"I know. I'm not deaf. However, how's he going to return them?"

Xiao Yunhe interjected, "Stop!"

The five black-clad cultivators fell silent immediately.

Xiao Yunhe said, "Your cultivation bases are only average. You won't be a match for me if I'm in peak condition. If you can find the mystic microstones and mystic life grass, I can naturally find them as well…"

"He has a point," the first cultivator said.

"However, there are contradictions in his words," the second cultivator said.

"We might not be able to defeat him if he recovers," the third cultivator said.

"We won't be able to snatch back the mystic microstones and the mystic life grass," the fourth cultivator said.

"It's better to kill him," the fifth cultivator said.

"..."

The five people raised their hands to the sky in unison before dark green halos appeared in their hands. The energy of the halos was abnormally powerful.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunhe flew up. His astrolabe appeared in his hand before he pushed it out.

The astrolabe landed on the five cultivators and sent them flying.

At the same time, Xiao Yunhe descended to the ground. He could feel his Qi and blood surging violently in his body.

The five cultivators flew back 100 meters before they finally stabilized their footing. Then, they tossed the dark green halos out.

The dark green halos surrounded Xiao Yunhe from five different directions before they rapidly expanded until all five of them merged.

"Confine!"

Buzz!

The halos shone brightly, and with that, the formation was completed.

The five cultivators flashed. Each of them stood in the center of a halo. Their hands were all glowing.

Xiao Yunhe's gaze was cold, and his voice was stern as he said, "You think you can kill me?"

Xiao Yunhe manifested his avatar. The Eleven Chart Thousand Realms Whirling avatar began to rise from the ground.

Alas, before the avatar could reach its full height, the five halos shot out and restrained it like hula hoops.

"Bind!"

Xiao Yunhe instantly felt that his Dantian's sea of Qi had been sealed by a strange force.

These five cultivators were really strange. Their individual cultivation base was barely passable, but together they were abnormally strong.

Xiao Yunhe tilted his head slightly and looked into the distance. 'Mingshi Yin, that kid, he can't have really abandoned him, right?'

"Hey!"

Woof!

A dog suddenly leaped over from nearby.

At the same time, a figure flashed out from the side. His speed was like the lightning as he aimed for one of the cultivators' neck.

The cultivator hurriedly raised his arms to block the attack.

Bang!

A cold light flashed as Mingshi Yin and Qiong Qi cut through the halos and landed on the ground.

"This person is so annoying."

"He actually dared to come back."

"He almost succeeded. He's a sinister and cunning person."

"The weapon in his hands seems to be at the flood grade."

"Let's finish him off together."

Mingshi Yin put the Separation Hook away. He was slightly surprised by the five people's keen eyesight and analytical skills.

With the help of the Sky Martial Academy, the Separation Hook had long been upgraded to the flood grade with the fire spirit stones given by Lu Zhou.

Mingshi Yin had to admit that his earlier attack was slightly off target. However, he was really far away so there was not much to say about it.

Mingshi Yin patted Qiong Qi before he waved at everyone. "Hello, I just returned to have a look. I don't have any other intentions. You can continue on with your business; don't mind me. Doggy, what are you waiting for?"

As though it had long gotten used to its master attitude, Qiong Qi obediently put away its fangs, claws, and ferocious expression. Then, it turned around and vanished into the forest.

The five cultivators. "..."

Xiao Yunhe. "..."

The five cultivators were very annoyed.

"He'll return again."

"He'll continue to harass us and disturb our witchcraft formation."

"I've never met such a shameless opponent before."

This time, only three of them spoke. The remaining two took the initiative and flew out of their respective halos toward the forest.

"Good idea."

It was best to divide the task.

The remaining three continued to cast their witchcraft technique.

At the same time, Xiao Yunhe shook his head and sighed. He looked in the direction of the forest and said, "Mr. Fourth, you should leave. Thank you for your kindness."

Then, Xiao Yunhe raised his hand.

The Hexagonal Weapon rose into the air.

Xiao Yunhe swept his gaze across the cultivators before he laughed. "Let me show you my power."

"Is he going to burn his Dantian's sea of Qi?"

"He's going to commit suicide?"

They hurriedly tossed out a huge ring of light.

"Continue to restrain him."

"Return to your positions!"

"Don't bother with that person!"

The five cultivators quickly gathered and continued to manipulate the five halos.

Soon after, hundreds of thousands of black tentacles with thorns slithered out from the halos before wrapping around Xiao Yunhe.

"No!" Xiao Yunhe could feel that he was now completely cut off from his Dantian's sea of Qi.

The Hexagonal Weapon dimmed and fell to the ground immediately.

The Primal Qi in Xiao Yunhe's body was quickly disappearing as well, and his energy was greatly weakened.

At this time, a figure flashed over from the distant sky. The figure was not big, but its speed seemed unrivaled.

Buzz!

The unique sound of energy resonating rang in the air, causing the five cultivators to instinctively raise their heads. They saw a sage-like old man with completely white hair in the sky. The old man's face was not fierce, but he had an imposing air about him.

"Who dares to behave audaciously in my territory?" Lu Zhou said as he pushed his palm out.

A huge golden Abandoned Wisdom shot out immediately. Due to the effect of the Concealment Card, the energy was golden even though Lu Zhou had used the supreme mystic power.

The five cultivators were in shock as they watched the palm seal destroy the numerous tentacles.

Boom!

The halos shattered.

Boom!

The five cultivators were sent flying back by an immense force following that. They grunted in pain as their blood and Qi surged in their bodies. Their arms were numb.

Just like that, their witchcraft formation that was meant to retrain Xiao Yunhe vanished.

At this time, Mingshi Yin's face was filled with joy as he rushed out on Qiong Qi's back. Then, he bowed before he said, "Greetings, master."
