My disciples are all villains.

Lu Zhou shifted his attention from Qin Renyue to Ye Zheng. The information he got was no different from what he had expected. If it was just a Venerable Master, it would be easy to deal with. However, it was a little difficult to deal with two Venerable Masters at the same time. He thought it was a good idea to do a lucky draw now.

"Lucky draw."

"Ding! Used 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation. Luck point +1."

'Another thank you for my participation. I've accumulated 111 luck points. Logically speaking, I should've drawn something… It feels like I have to accumulate more and more luck points each time before I draw something useful…'

After being thanked five times for his participation, Lu Zhou finally gave up on the lucky draw.

Back in the sky, more than thirty cultivators dressed in scholarly robes stood neatly behind Ye Zheng.

Qin Renyue said, "There's indeed a beast emperor there. If you don't believe me, you can send someone there to have a look…"

Ye Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Since there's a beast emperor there, I'll let you have it. How about letting me have this one?"

Qin Renyue said, "The rule of the Unknown Land is based on first come, first served basis. Ye Zheng, do you really want to start a war with me here?"

The Unknown Land was filled with many uncertain factors.

In fact, Ye Zheng hated Qin Renyue very much. However, if there were two beast emperors, it was not a bad idea for them to take one each. There were no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.

Ye Zheng smiled indifferently, "There's no need to be nervous. Let's put aside our grudges for now. Why don't we work together to take down two beast emperors?"

Qin Renyue cursed inwardly at the sly old fox in front of him, but outwardly, he said, "Alright."

Ye Zheng nodded in satisfaction and waved his sleeve.

36 scholarly cultivators flew over and stood with the 49 Swordsmen.

One of the cultivators dressed in Confucian scholar robes said in a deep voice, "Those who have nothing to do here, please leave."

At this time, Kong Wen said in a low voice, "Old sir, let's leave…"

The other three brothers had already turned around, and yet, Lu Zhou did not move. He continued to look at the sky.

Since Lu Zhou did not move, naturally, his disciples did not move as well.

Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li only turned around to look at Kong Wen and the others, expressing their understanding through their expressions.

Swoosh!

The Fire Phoenix suddenly flew up from the mountain crevice again. Its wings covered the sky as it swept across the dark sky.

The 36 Confucian scholars and 49 Swordsmen erected their protective barriers immediately.

However, the Fire Phoenix seemed to have been waiting for this. It shot past them before it did a sharp turn.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

85 cultivation experts were like scattered flower petals as they were sent flying in all directions. Many of them had flames burning on their bodies, and there were equally many who were injured and vomiting blood.

Qin Renyue and Ye Zheng rose higher up into the sky at the same time, and time seemed to have stopped again. Only he, Qin Renyue, and Ye Zheng were unaffected. The others were frozen in time for two breaths. Unlike the others, he retained his consciousness, his breathing and heartbeat were fine, and he could move; everything was normal for him. He could sense the others had no consciousness apart from being frozen at this time.

When the duo used this power, the Fire Phoenix was briefly frozen as well. Following that, the duo launched palm seals that could cover the sky. Their palm seals landed on the left and right wing of the Fire Phoenix respectively.

The Fire Phoenix screeched before it swooped down toward the mountain crevice again.

Flames shot in all directions, burning the forest and roasting the ground.

Everyone held their breaths and watched the two Venerable Masters in action.

At this time, Ye Zheng called out, "Set up the formation!"

"Set up the formation."

The 49 Swordsmen and the 36 Confucian scholars stabilized themselves and quickly returned to their positions before manifesting their astrolabes.

The spectating cultivators watched the magnificent scene with bright eyes. Perhaps, this would be the only time they were able to watch such a spectacular scene.

One by one, the astrolabes flashed with light. Even the weakest among them had four Birth Charts.

The astrolabes shone like the stars in the dark sky, forming a huge circle.

The 49 Swordsmen tilted their astrolabes down at the same time.

Qin Renyue said indifferently, "Release."

The astrolabes buzzed and flashed before all 49 of them shot out a beam of light in unison.

It was a breathtaking sight that resembled when spotlights were focused on a stage, but on a much bigger scale.

The beams of light pierce through the crevice and the mountain, making the mountain look like a beehive. Following that, the remaining beams of light landed on the Fire Phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix let out a mournful cry before it raised its head and spat out a stream of flames.

The 36 Confucian scholars activated their energies from their astrolabes to form a huge green sphere, blocking the flames.

The two sides continued to engage in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Kong Wen gulped and said, "T-this… They're so strong?"

"Why are you so impressed? These offense and defense techniques are formed by 85 cultivators. Moreover, there's only one Fire Phoenix…" Mingshi Yin said with a hint of contempt.

"Uh... that's true," Kong Wen said, "The Fire Phoenix is really strong…"

Little Yuan'er asked in confusion, "Why aren't the two Venerable Masters doing anything?"

Lu Li said in a daze, "The strength of a Venerable Master comes from the power of the Dao. Back then, the ancestor of the Lu family…"

At this time, Yan Zhenluo began to cough.

Lu Li, who realized his transgression, said, "In any case, they're just Venerable Masters. How can they compare to the Pavilion Master? 30,000 years ago, two of them were still playing in the mud!"

"..."

Little Yuan'er scratched her head in confusion. She could not understand Lu Li's words before and after.

Back in the sky, the Fire Phoenix swept toward the area within the green barrier.

Boom!

The 85 people, along with the two Venerable Masters, were pushed back dozens of meters.

"Bast*rd! Do you think I'm weak just because I didn't show my power?" Ye Zheng flashed outside of the green barrier before joining his palms together.

The weapons of the spectators began to vibrate and thrum before they were all pulled over by Ye Zheng's terrifying power.

Lu Zhou could even sense a slight agitation from Unnamed. He had to suppress the energy before Unnamed finally calmed down.

Yu Shangrong, Yu Zhenghai, Ming Shiyin, Little Yuan 'er, and Conch held their weapons down lightly so their weapons did not fly away.

On the contrary, Kong Wen and his three brothers were not so lucky. They tried their best to hold onto their weapons, and as a result, were almost dragged over as well.

Lu Zhou glanced back at them and lightly waved his sleeve. A wave of energy imbued with the divine power shrouded the four brothers, helping them to hold onto their weapons.

Kong Wen bowed and said, "Thank you, old sir!"

The other three brothers bowed and echoed Kong Wen, "Thank you, old sir!"

Meanwhile, the weapons that filled the sky shot toward the Fire Phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix faced the weapons head-on and flew wildly in the sky. At the same time, the temperature rose by a few times. With that, the weapons were swept down; some broke, some melted, and some fell on the ground.

At this time, Ye Zheng suddenly flashed above the Fire Phoenix. A sword appeared in his hand as he roared, "Release."

The Fire Phoenix was caught unprepared as energy swords fell and pierced its right wing. It flapped its wings in a frenzy from the pain, causing Ye Zheng to lose his footing slightly.

With this, Ye Zheng had no choice but to withdraw his energy swords and return to the green barrier.

All of a sudden, the Fire Phoenix spread its wings and rapidly adjusted its position. Following that, it opened its beak wide…
