My disciples are all villains.

Si Wuya prided himself on being able to predict all outcomes. However, he did not expect his Fourth Senior Brother to be this stubborn. He did not expect his Fourth Senior Brother to disregard the Binding Mantra, seemingly not intimidated by the implications that their master might be cruel to him as well in the future. He knew there was no hope in changing Mingshi Yin's mind now. Since Mingshi Yin could not be persuaded, he would have to go about it in another way.

Si Wuya put his clothes back on and said with a faint smile on his face, "Fourth Senior Brother, combat strength is, indeed, important. However, the true deciding factor on the battlefield isn't combat strength alone… I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to take me away."

"I'll try…" The soundwave from Mingshi Yin's voice surged toward Si Wuya.

The space in front of Si Wuya seemed to distort, but the soundwave was, ultimately, kept at bay by the layer of protective energy. It was as though a thick wall had been erected before him.

Mingshi Yin looked at the White Tiger Hall's First Seat, Bai Yuqing.

Bai Yuqing cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Mister Fourth. I have to make sure that Mister Seventh is safe…"

Mingshi Yin said, "What's your name again?

"My name's Bai Yuqing. I'm the Nether Sect's White Tiger Hall's First Seat."

"You have a great cultivation base. Will you consider joining the Evil Sky Pavilion?"

"Uh…" Bai Yuqing looked awkward as he said, "Thank you for the kind offer, Mister Fourth. Since I've joined the Nether Sect, I've never thought of leaving."

As soon as Bai Yuqing finished speaking, Mingshi Yin turned to look at Si Wuya with eyes that were filled with mockery. His eyes seemed to say even Bai Yuqing understood that he should not betray his sect.

Si Wuya was not bothered by Mingshi Yin's mockery. He had been mocked by countless people throughout the years. He had been called a traitor, a person who deceived his master and denounced his patriarch, disloyal, faithless, wicked, scheming, petty, and despicable. The countless insults hurled at him had made him immune to it.

Finally, Mingshi Yin looked at Bai Yuqing who was standing on the roof and said, "Alright… I'll remember you."

Although Bai Yuqing's cultivation base was more profound than Mingshi Yin's, when he heard Mingshi Yin's statement, he was inexplicably shaken. However, when he remembered he had his sect master and brothers supporting him, he felt slightly relieved. Moreover, Si Wuya's on the Nether Sect's side. How long could the Evil Sky Pavilion last? In the cultivation world, time was the most valuable and important asset. With his courage bolstered, he cupped his fists and said, "Please try to understand, Mister Fourth. Please leave."

"Please leave?" Mingshi Yin stomped his foot.

Boom!

The houses on both sides immediately crumbled.

Mingshi Yin shot into the sky. At this moment, he was looking down at Bai Yuqing from above.

Bai Yuqing met Mingshi Yin's gaze. At the end of the day, he had been longing to fight with a disciple from the Evil Sky Pavilion in the depth of his heart. Ever since he began cultivating, he had heard many legends and stories about the Evil Sky Pavilion. Everyone feared the Evil Sky Pavilion, especially its master, the master of his sect master. When the Four First Seats faced the Evil Sky Pavilion back then, they did not dare to attack… However, now that a good opportunity had presented itself, he could hardly remain calm. He cupped his fists and said, "Do you want to fight, Mister Fourth?"

Swoosh!

Mingshi Yin charged at Bai Yuqing's face at lightning speed.

A solemn expression appeared on Bai Yuqing's face. He did not dare to let his guard down. He leaped into the air, and both of them began to fight.

For a time, the wind blew violently in the air.

Both opponents launched energy seals at each other.

Si Wuya shook his head at this scene.

The person in charge of Yellow Peak mountain ran over fearfully. He lowered his body and said, "It's my fault! I shouldn't have let the wolf in!"

Si Wuya glanced at him and said, "I don't blame you for this."

"Thank you, sect master! Thank you for being merciful." The person in charge sighed in relief. He felt much calmer now.

However…

"Today, you can retire and return to your hometown…"

"Sect… sect master?"

"This is the Darknet's custom. In light of your loyal service throughout the years, you may keep your tongue," Si Wuya said calmly.

The person in charge initially wanted to say something. However, since his sect master had said this, he did not dare to say anything else. He sighed and bowed at Si Wuya. "Thank you for being merciful, sect master. Farewell."

Si Wuya did not look at him. Even when the person left, he did not turn around.

As the saying went, 'A man who does great things would never fret over trivial matters'.

Some mistakes could never be made.

A short while later, another person walked up to Si Wuya. When he saw the chaotic battle in the air, he said, "Sect master, would you like to rest inside?"

"No need." Si Wuya was in no mood to rest. Instead, he walked to the side and watched the battle between Bai Yuqing and Mingshi Yin.

"Sect master, the two of them seem to be evenly matched. Who's going to win?"

"There's no need to worry," Si Wuya said, "Bai Yuqing is a Seven-leaf elite. Although Fourth Senior Brother has a heaven-grade weapon, it's impossible for him to win. Bai Yuqing is being considerate."

Although a heaven-grade weapon was powerful, it was impossible to make up for the differences of a few ranks.

"I understand…"

Si Wuya said again, "Spread the word that Yellow Peak Mountain's location has been leaked. Have the core members move."

"Understood."

At this moment, the trees and grass in the area grew wildly and rapidly.

Si Wuya exclaimed, "Looks like Fourth Senior Brother has obtained the complete Bluewood Heart Technique! Master, did you finally come to your senses?"

In the cultivation world, whether it was the Daoist mudras or Buddhist brahman chants, seals, Fiend Zen, or the Confucian school's Expansive Qi, all of it had to be drawn from Primal Qi whether it was to heal or to condense energy seals. However, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Bluewood Heart Technique was different from the other sects. It used Primal Qi to promote the growth of plants.

Countless vines moved in on Bai Yuqing at the same time.

Bai Yuqing was inwardly startled by this. He looked at Mingshi Yin who was coming at him swiftly. He no longer held back. "Mister Fourth, here I come!"

Bzzt!

Bai Yuqing's avatar materialized. It was 70 feet tall. The instant the avatar appeared, a huge wave of energy rolled out from Bai Yuqing in all directions.

The vines were instantly smothered by the firm and forceful energy blast.

A streamlined energy shield appeared before Mingshi Yin in midair. The Separation Hook gleamed in his hands at this moment. As soon as the vines withered, he shot through the air.

"Hm?" When Bai Yuqing sensed a threatening aura, Primal Qi surged out of his body again. He launched countless palm strikes with his hands in an extremely short period of time.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Mingshi Yin drew his Separation Hook across the air before himself, repelling the incoming palm strikes.

"A heaven-grade weapon?" Bai Yuqing saw the Separation Hook in Mingshi Yin's hands. "As expected of the Evil Sky Pavilion's Mister Fourth! However, it won't be enough!" His avatar swiftly and suddenly shrunk to a height of ten feet before it expanded again!

"What's this…" Si Wuya was puzzled by the sight. "The Expansive Heavenly Energy?" He was surprised to see someone from the Nether Sect cultivating the Expansive Heavenly Energy since the Nether Sect was known as the greatest cult under the heavens.

However, regardless if a person is on the Noble Path or the Fiend Path, both sides could freely cultivate the cultivation method they liked. It was normal for the Nether Sect to have an expert who cultivated the Expansive Heavenly Energy.

The instant Bai Yuqing's avatar enlarged, the Expansive Heavenly Energy pushed toward Mingshi Yin with unstoppable momentum. The difference between their strength was rather huge.

Mingshi Yin flipped in the air and tried to deflect the relentless energy blasts that were coming at him.
