My disciples are all villains.

Lu Zhou’s voice was very loud and carried a small amount of the divine Dao power.

If Ying Long was in the abyss, he would definitely hear it. However, there was no response at all.

‘Hmm?’

Lu Zhou found the lack of response strange. He called out again, “Ying Long!”

These two words were louder than before. Let alone in the abyss, even if Ying Long was buried in a coffin, he would still hear it.

The result was the same; there was no response.

‘Strange…’

Lu Zhou had watched Ying Long enter the abyss previously.

Yin Long could stay at the Great Abyss Land for tens of thousands of years; there was no reason it could not stay in the much more comfortable abyss. Did he fail to absorb the power of the abyss so he left? Or did he explode after absorbing the power of the abyss because his body could not contain the power?

Lu Zhou thought the former was unlikely. Ying Long would have waited for the return of his divine soul pearl even if he wanted to leave. Without the divine soul pearl, his cultivation was greatly weakened. The divine soul pearl was his lifeblood; he would not give it up no matter what.

‘Is it the latter? Did it explode and die?’

Lu Zhou felt that things did not look good. He thought to himself, ‘Ying Long, you can’t die. If you die, my sins will be very grave.’

After all, Lu Zhou was the one who had lured it down the abyss.

Without a second thought, Lu Zhou dove into the abyss. When he arrived at the first layer of rebound force, he pushed his hand out.

A palm seal that contained the divine Dao power smashed heavily against the rebounding barrier.

Boom!

Lu Zhou felt the force weakened greatly. ‘Another palm strike should be enough…’

Since the divine Dao power was a pure energy, breaking through the barrier should not be a big problem.

Just as Lu Zhou was about to launch the second palm seal, a voice rang from below.

“Stop!”

“Ying Long?” Lu Zhou frowned, puzzled.

Ying Long sighed and said from below, “Earlier, my cultivation was at a critical juncture so I couldn’t respond. The commotion you caused is too loud; it interrupted my cultivation.”

Ying Long’s voice seemed to come from a very distant place.

Fortunately, both parties were experts so they could hear each other clearly.

Lu Zhou said, “I thought something happened to you.”

“How could something happen? I’m the ancestor of the dragons, and I rely on absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to survive. I won’t die even if all humans die…” Ying Long said.

Lu Zhou, who agreed deeply with those words, nodded. “That’s good. Anyway, I came for two reasons today…”

“Wait,” Ying Long suddenly interjected, “It’s not convenient to talk about things today so why don’t we talk another day?”

Lu Zhou ignored Ying Long and continued to say, “Currently, four Pillars of Destruction have collapsed, and the fifth one looks like it’s on the verge of collapse as well. The Great Void might collapse ahead of time. At that time, you’ll be buried in the abyss. Moreover, your divine soul pearl has been away from your body for so long. If its power isn’t replenished, it’ll lose power.”

“This…” Ying Long hesitated. Then, he suddenly said, “Just toss my divine soul pearl down!”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly, puzzled. “Based on your words, you don’t intend to come up?”

Ying Long replied, “I haven’t fully recovered yet. It’ll take at least 100 years.”

Lu Zhou thought it made sense. Since Ying Long was missing a few of its tendons and divine soul pearl, its recovery rate would not be fast. Finally, he said, “Fine. Return Unnamed to me, and I’ll return your divine soul pearl to you.”

Ying Long coughed. After a moment, he said, “That’s fine…”

Lu Zhou wrapped the divine soul pearl with his energy before he tossed it down. He watched as the divine soul pearl fell into the darkness like a meteor. Then, he extended his hand and said, “Unnamed.”

“Well…” Ying Long said a little sheepishly, “Can I discuss something with you?”

“What is it?”

Ying Long hesitated.

Lu Zhou felt that Ying Long was very strange today, but he could not figure out why.

Finally, Ying Long mustered up his courage and said, “I like the weapon very much! Can you give it to me?”

“Huh?”

Ying Long could sense Lu Zhou’s confusion. He was afraid Lu Zhou would refuse so he quickly added, “I’ll do anything you ask!”

Lu Zhou scoffed and said, “What gives you the confidence to ask for Unnamed?”

Then, Lu Zhou began to descend. He came to a stop where the rebounding force was the strongest and said, “Even if I pull out all of your tendons, they’re still not enough to exchange for Unnamed.”

“…”

Ying Long was very embarrassed, but he still forced himself to say, “I, I’m not that cheap, am I?”

“It’s not that you’re cheap, but Unnamed is far more valuable than you can imagine,” Lu Zhou said honestly.

The more Ying Long heard, the more he felt at a loss.

It was a pity Lu Zhou could not see Lu Zhou’s expression at this moment.

Ying Long was extremely vexed. He really wanted to give himself a few hard slaps. After a moment, he decided to change his strategy and said, “Then, can I keep Unnamed for a few more days? I really like it.”

Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Ying Long, it seems like the lesson I taught you back then isn’t enough. I thought you’ll keep your promise. I didn’t expect you to covet my possession.”

“No, no, no, you misunderstand me. I’m telling the truth. I really like it,” Ying Long said, unable to defend himself.

Lu Zhou was truly puzzled. After all, Ying Long was a defeated opponent. Ying Long would be really stupid to try and play tricks on him. Finally, he said threateningly, “I’ll give you another three breaths to hand Unnamed over. Otherwise, I’ll pull out your tendons again.”

“…”

Ying Long really wanted to cry at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he thought he could only be honest now. He said, “Brother… In fact, it isn’t my fault. Your weapon is very slippery, and it insisted on exploring the depths of the abyss…”

“???”

Lu Zhou’s eyes widened in anger and surprise. “You lost my Unnamed?!”

“I didn’t lose it. It insisted on running away. I… I…” Ying Long stammered.

The blue lotus bloomed under Lu Zhou’s feet, and it released the divine Dao power.

Just like that, the rebounding barrier retreated to the sides, opening up a path.

Lu Zhou used the great power of teleportation. After a few breaths, he appeared in front of Ying Long.

Under their feet was the power of the abyss. Their surroundings were like the starry sky.

Ying Long shivered as he stared at Lu Zhou, who was standing with his hands on his back.

“It’s, it’s, it’s down there…” Ying Long said, “I, I really didn’t do it on purpose…”

Lu Zhou stared at Ying Long, trying to confirm if Ying Long was lying. Then, he tried to sense Unnamed. Indeed, he could not sense it. He was the master of Unnamed. It would be impossible for Ying Long to refine Unnamed in such a short time. This meant that Ying Long was telling the truth; Unnamed was indeed lost.

Lu Zhou looked down before he asked, “Ying Long, do you remember what I said earlier?”

“What?”

“Even if I pull out all of your tendons, they won’t be able to exchange for Unnamed,” Lu Zhou said flatly, “How are you going to compensate me?”

Ying Long explained guiltily, “I’ve tried to go down many times. No matter how hard or how many times I tried, I couldn’t go any further. The power there is too strong.”

Lu Zhou said, “Unnamed is extraordinary. It’s a sacred relic that can break any barrier in the world.”

“…”

‘So powerful?!’

Ying Long hurriedly said, “Brother, you’re its master. Why don’t you try to summon it back? It has a lot of spirituality, and it’s void-grade. You should be able to summon it back…”

Lu Zhou asked, “Should?”

Ying Long trembled. Then, he said hastily, “How about this? I’ll do whatever you want me to do. It’s not my fault if my tendons aren’t as precious as your Unnamed. There’s nothing I can do about that…”

Ying Long spread his arms, looking helpless.

Lu Zhou stared at Ying Long intently as he thought for a moment before he said, “The nine domains are facing the threat of being invaded by fierce beasts. You’re the ancestor of the dragons so you have the ability to make the fierce beasts submit to you.”

Ying Long’s eyes lit up. He quickly patted his chest and said, “Leave this to me!”

Lu Zhou continued to say, “The battles in the Unknown Land have gotten very fierce in recent years. There are too many unintelligent fierce beasts, and it’s impossible to communicate with them. When the Great Void collapses, the conflict between humans and fierce beasts will definitely explode…”

“Leave it to me,” Ying Long said confidently.

“The Great Void and the Unknown Land are vast. The nine domains are located in different directions. Can you really do it?” Lu Zhou asked. Naturally, he did not want Ying Long to blindly promise him without having the ability to do so.

An awkward expression appeared on Ying Long’s face as he said, “Uh… It’s, it’s quite difficult…”

Lu Zhou said, “Meng Zhang is also a dragon. You can convince him.”

“Oh?” Ying Long was startled by this suggestion.

Lu Zhou also replied with an ‘Oh?’, but the sound was longer.

Seeing that situation was not good, Ying Long’s attitude changed immediately. He gritted his teeth and said, “No problem! Leave it to me!”

‘What have I gotten myself into?’
