My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1664: You’re Welcome to Challenge Me

Ling Weiyang naturally did not understand the marks.

Yu Zhenghai was slightly curious so he asked, “Can I have a look?”

Ling Weiyang threw the note over.

Yu Zhenghai studied the note carefully. It was indeed the locations of the ten Pillars of Destructions, and they were all marked with numbers.

The locations of the ten Pillars of Destruction were marked with these numbers:

Dunzang

Huantan

Chifenruo

Yu Zhong

Shanyan

Xieqia

Zuo’e

Ping Dan

Great Abyss Land

Zhixu

The nine Pillars of Destructions were scattered all around, and in the middle of the nine pillars was the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction that was marked with the number nine.

Outsiders naturally would not understand the note, but Yu Zhenghai understood it with just a glance. He looked at the flying chariot in the western direction with an expression of surprise. He muttered to himself, “How does he know this?”

Yu Shangrong took a look as well.

The number corresponded to the ten disciples and which pillars they obtained recognition from.

Only those from the Evil Sky Pavilion were privy to this matter. It was impossible for outsiders to know about it. How did Qi Sheng know about it? Qi Sheng even marked Zuo’e with the number seven. Coincidentally, when the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion went to the Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction, they discovered that another person had been recognized by the pillar.

Yu Zhenghai’s hands trembled slightly. ‘Could Qi Sheng really be Old Seventh?’

After all, whether it was speech or style of doing things, Qi Sheng really resembled Si Wuya.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, over the past 100 years since they came to the Great Void, they would cross paths with Qi Sheng.

Naturally, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong remained vigilant.

However, Yu Zhenghai was truly surprised by the note.

At this time, the Commander of Yan Feng Hall finally defeated Wei Chen from the City of Eternal Night.

The next few challenges were just as boring as the first one.

After thinking about it, Yu Zhenghai moved to Ling Weiyang and said, “I’ve changed my mind.”

“You changed your mind?”

“I choose Yan Feng Hall.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” Yu Zhenghai replied.

Ling Weiyang nodded. “I respect your decision. The goal is to enter the core of the Pillar of Destruction. It’s the same no matter which hall you choose. As long as you’re confident you’ll win, it’s fine.”

Then, Ling Weiyang beckoned one of his subordinates over and asked, “Who’s the Commander of Yan Feng Hall?”

The subordinate replied respectfully, “The Commander of Yan Feng Hall is Wan Cheng. He’s the Dao Saint who won the challenge during the previous commanders’ competition.”

At this time, another battle ended.

Wan Cheng, the Commander of Yan Feng Palace, had won again. This made the other challenges more cautious about challenging him.

Ling Weiyang said, “It’s your turn now. Remember, you have to display all your might to show that you’re invincible. Otherwise, the challenges won’t stop coming.”

“Understood.”

Although Ling Weiyang was usually strict, there was no denying he had taken great care of Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong’s cultivation. The duo was not heartless, and they knew to differentiate between the good and the bad. Hence, they respected Ling Weiyang very much.

…

In the arena.

After winning three consecutive challenges, Wan Cheng looked around and asked, “Who else wants to challenge me?”

For a while, there was no response at all.

Wan Cheng said, “Who else? According to the rules, if no one challenges me within 15 minutes, I can leave the arena. Otherwise, thank you for witnessing my challenges and thank you for letting me go.”

As soon as Wan Cheng’s voice fell, Yu Zhenghai said, “I’ll challenge you.”

Swoosh!

Yu Zhenghai flew into the arena with a serious expression.

Wan Cheng saw Yu Zhenghai flying out of Ling Weiyang’s flying chariot so he did not dare to be careless. He said politely, “Please advise me.”

Yu Zhenghai had watched the three battles for a while and felt that he had an understanding of his opponent’s strength. He said, “Three moves.”

“What three moves?”

“I’ll defeat you within three moves.”

“…”

The spectators broke out in another commotion when they heard Yu Zhenghai’s arrogant words.

Bai Zhaoju looked at Ling Weiyang and said, “He’s young and filled with vigor. It really reminds me of when we were young.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shangrong said, “Your Majesty, I think you’ve misunderstood something. It has nothing to do with youthful vigor. This situation is like how there’s no suspense if you defeat me. Similarly, there’s no suspense in this battle as well. It’s confidence, not arrogance.”

Bai Zhaoju laughed. “Interesting, interesting.”

…

Meanwhile, Zhu Honggong, who saw his Eldest Senior Brother in the arena, shrank back immediately.

The cultivator standing behind him quickly reminded him, “Mr. Zhu, it seems like there are changes. Yan Feng Hall that you chose is being challenged by the Azure Emperor’s people!”

Zhu Honggong pretended to be calm and said, “It’s a small matter.”

The cultivator nodded. “That’s right. I can’t wait for Mr. Zhu to defeat that arrogant saber wielder! With this, everyone will be able to see that you’re worthy of being the Commander of Yan Feng Hall!”

Zhu Honggong turned to glare at the cultivator and said, “Will you die if you don’t speak?!”

“I apologize,” the cultivator hurriedly said.

Zhu Honggong thought about it for a moment before he said, “I suddenly feel Yan Feng Hall isn’t that good. Let’s pick another one. Let’s go with Xuan Meng Hall.”

Xuan Meng Hall’s Wu Zu was dead, and Wu Xing, the Commander of Xuan Meng Hall, was greatly injured. With this thought in mind, Zhu Honggong thought Xuan Meng Hall was a good choice.

…

On the other side.

When Zhang He, the Commander of Xuanyi Palace, saw Yu Zhenghai challenging Wan Cheng, he sighed in relief. ‘What a f*cking relief! Luckily, it wasn’t me. I hope the other freaks won’t challenge me either!’

Zhang He only hoped he would not lose too miserably this time. In fact, he thought it was not too bad to quickly give the position of commander away. The longer he sat in this position, the longer his butt would hurt.

…

In the arena.

Wan Cheng charged over and attacked first.

Yu Zhenghai did not move and only looked at his opponent indifferently.

Energy seals swept out at this time.

The battle this time was clearly on a higher level than the previous ones.

Everyone watched with rapt attention.

When Wan Cheng was a foot away from Yu Zhenghai, Yu Zhenghai pushed his hand out.

“First move, the Great Dark Heaven Palm.”

Boom!

The palm seal that was like a mountain blocked the attack.

Wan Cheng said in a deep voice, “That’s not enough.”

Primal Qi in the surroundings began to gather.

Wan Cheng’s sword seemed to be sharper than before as space began to distort.

“Second move, Sovereign Descent.”

Yu Zhenghai suddenly withdrew his hand and flashed up into the sky.

At the same time, countless energy sabers filled the sky.

The Jasper Saber flew into Yu Zhenghai’s hand. Then, he wielded it with both hands before he brought it down.

Upon seeing this, Wan Cheng prepared to dodge the strike.

Buzz!

Space seemed to have frozen as the saber fell down.

“How’s this possible?” Wan Cheng could not dodge the attack so he could only raise his hand and launch two palm seals consecutively.

When the saber struck the palm seals, a soft noise rang in the air before the saber cut through the palm seals like a hot knife through butter.

Wan Cheng’s protective energy burst forth when he felt the force of the attack, but he was still sent flying. He grunted in pain as his blood and qi surged.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, “This weapon… It’s at least an infinite-grade weapon!”

Everyone was amazed.

“The Azure Emperor has a place to refine and forge weapons. It’s not surprising he has such a fine weapon.”

At this time, Yu Zhenghai flashed and appeared in front of Wan Cheng. A 300-foot-long energy saber shrouded the Jasper Saber as he brought it down on and shouted, “Third move, Splitting the Heavens!”

Splitting the Heavens was a saber technique that Yu Zhenghai created. It contained the laws that he had comprehended.

As soon as the saber fell, Wan Cheng’s expression changed greatly. When he was locked by the law of space earlier, he knew that Yu Zhenghai’s comprehension of the Dao was greater than his. He gritted his teeth and cried out, “Block!”

Wan Cheng could only defend himself at this moment. He launched dozens of energy seals and stacked them together.

Boom!

The saber tore through space and shattered the dozens of energy seals at the same time, causing energy to ripple out into the surroundings.

Boom!

Wan Cheng was sent flying back.

The fierce and overbearing saber technique made people gasp in amazement. They could not help but gulp.

With just three moves, Wan Cheng was injured.

The cultivators from Yan Feng Hall rushed out and supported him after he landed at the edge of the arena of Cloud Domain.

Wan Cheng’s entire body was numb, and his hands could not stop trembling. He had thought they were at least on par with each other. Who knew it would end up in a one-sided beating?

Silence reigned in Cloud Domain.

Everyone waited for Wan Cheng to get up and fight again. He would have to withstand more than three moves at least. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

Wan Cheng shared the same thought. Hence, he inhaled deeply and tried to control his vitality energy. Then, he gritted his teeth and finally rose to his feet. His entire person radiating with pride.

Upon seeing this, many cultivators began to cheer.

…

At this moment, Bai Zhaoju smiled and said, “Confidence is a good thing. However, it’s not good to underestimate or look down on your opponents.”

Ling Weiyang felt slightly embarrassed. ‘This Yu Zhenghai! If he can’t defeat his opponent with three moves, why did he brag?!’

…

Wan Cheng said in a low voice, “If that’s all, I’m afraid you failed to defeat me with three moves. Let alone three moves, you might not even be able to defeat me with 10 or 100 moves.”

Wan Cheng’s voice was sonorous and powerful, which boosted the people from Yan Feng Hall.

Everyone thought this was how the commander of a hall should be like.

“Commander!”

At this time, Yu Zhenghai suddenly said, “Fall.”

As soon as the word ‘fall’ rang in Wan Cheng’s ears, his body turned numb. Then, his robe split from top to bottom in the center. Then, from his forehead to the bridge of his nose and to his belly button, there was a thin red line of blood.

“…”

Wan Cheng fell backward immediately.

“Commander!”

Two cultivators from Yan Feng Hall flew out and supported Wan Cheng.

…

Bai Zhaoju was puzzled. “What technique is this?”

Ling Weiyang felt refreshed at this moment. He said proudly, “Yu Zhenghai can control the law of space with his saber technique. If he said he can do it with three moves, then he can do it with three moves. You really don’t have a discerning eye at all. How can you not see the situation clearly?”

Bai Zhaoju: “…”

‘This old fox looks like a villain who’s achieved his goal! However, the kid’s control over the saber is indeed amazing.’

…

Yu Zhenghai cupped his fists together at Wan Cheng and said, “Thank you for letting me win.”

Fear still lingered in Wan Cheng’s heart. He felt as though he had narrowly escaped death. As it turned out, his opponent was a Great Dao Saint.

The crowd was in an uproar.

“He’s a Great Dao Saint!”

“This is unfair! I object to this! How can a Great Dao Saint participate in this competition? Isn’t this just an act of bullying?”

When Yu Zhenghai heard the crowd’s protest, he asked, “Is this against the rule?”

Everyone fell silent.

The rule stated those at or above the level of a Dao Saint could participate in the competition. This meant that Great Dao Saint and even supreme beings could participate.

…

Xuanyi Palace’s Zhang He patted his chest and muttered under his breath, “A Great Dao Saint! I really didn’t lose in vain!”

…

Yu Zhenghai said in a clear voice, “My cultivation is indeed that of a Great Dao Saint. Whoever is willing to challenge me, please step forward.”

Everyone averted their eyes when Yu Zhenghai looked at them.

After a moment, Qi Sheng said, “Great Dao Saints aren’t prohibited from participating in the competition. It’s in accordance with the rules. If Great Dao Saints aren’t allowed to participate, then may I ask which of you can defeat Chong Guang Hall’s Holy Maiden?”

At the mention of Chong Guang Hall’s Holy Maiden, everyone began to discuss among themselves again.

The Holy Maiden of Chong Guang Hall was the owner of a Great Void Seed from the previous batch. She was also a Great Dao Saint.

At this moment, someone exclaimed in a timely manner, “She’s here!”

Everyone looked at the horizon and saw a flying chariot flying over.

“It’s Chong Guang Hall’s flying chariot!”

Everyone was excited to see the appearance of the Holy Maiden.

When the flying chariot came to a stop, Lan Xihe walked out onto the deck. She was as elegant and calm as she was in the past. She looked at everyone and said, “I’m sorry I’m late.”

After that, Lan Xihe greeted the three emperors of the Lost Lands.

Ling Weiyang said praisingly, “It’s rumored that Chong Guang Hall’s Lan Xihe is a new generation expert. You’re really famous.”

Lan Xihe bowed and said, “Thank you for your praise, Azure Emperor.” Then, she turned to everyone and said, “Our hall welcomes your challenge.”
