My disciples are all villains.

Mo Li's garments were dyed in her own blood. Her blood blended perfectly with her bright red clothes. Her eyes continued to widen. She was still stubbornly holding on, unwilling to give up.

Everyone was stunned.

Even the Second Prince, Liu Huan, was as stunned as a wooden chicken. The leader of the Black Knights was an elite whom Mo Li had supported. Why would he suddenly attack Mo Li? Countless questions ran amok in his mind, but they never made it out of his mouth. The flames of his anger were stoked. Fan Xiuwen had stabbed his beloved consort, his wonderful helper! He shook with rage.

Mo Li was just as puzzled. Her life was escaping from her. She looked at her blood gushing forth from her stomach. She hastily waved her hand. She had thought some powerful spell would surge forth from her fingers, but nothing happened.

In the Ten Terminal Formation, even Mo Li was a mortal. She chuckled. She had forgotten that she was in the Ten Terminal Formation as well. She looked up at the stocky Fan Xiuwen and saw the silver mask and the eyes brimming with killing intent. The sight made her shudder. "It's… it's you?"

The eyes were windows to a person's soul. When she saw this pair of eyes, Mo Li knew the person standing before her was the Fan Xiuwen of old, the person who was once on the top of the blacklist, Leng Luo.

Leng Luo spent a long time to infiltrate the Black Knights' camp and kill the fake Fan Xiuwen. Then, he impersonated Fan Xiuwen. What a strange feeling it was to impersonate oneself.

Leng Luo's hoarse voice sounded. "That's right. It's me…"

"Fan Xiuwen!"

"How dare you, Fan Xiuwen?! What are you doing?!"

"Consort Li!"

The four generals at the sides had incredulous expressions on their faces. They had sworn to protect Mo Li, and yet, here she was, stabbed.

Leng Luo suddenly raised his voice and said, "In the name of the Emperor, I, hereby, execute the disobedient subject, Mo Li… Her accomplices will be treated likewise!"

What a grand statement. However, the other Black Knights who had followed him here were puzzled. Did they not agree to kill the Fourth Prince and the villains from the Evil Sky Pavilion? Why did their leader suddenly attack Mo Li?

The appearance of the Black Knights turned the tide of the situation around.

Mingshi Yin, Little Yuan'er, and Jiang Aijian felt relieved.

Leng Luo slowly turned around and looked at the Second Prince, Liu Huan.

Liu Huan finally reacted. He glared at Leng Luo and said, "Good… Very good…" He waved his arm and continued to say, "Do you think this is all I've got?"

'Hm?' The soldiers looked at the Second Prince.

Even the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, wondered what else Liu Huan had up his sleeve.

Liu Huan pointed at the nearby pavilion and said, "Old Villain Ji… Your disciple, Si Wuya, is held inside that building… If you make a single move, I'll immediately give the order for him to be killed!"

Bam!

The window of the pavilion broke.

Han Yuyuan grabbed Si Wuya's collar. He poked his head out and said loudly, "A bunch of losers! You can't even kill an old man inside the Ten Terminal Formation?"

"Seventh Junior Brother?"

"Si Wuya?"

Mingshi Yin and Jiang Aijian were both shocked.

Indeed, Mingshi Yin's impression of Si Wuya was not the best. On top of that, Si Wuya had always been cunning and manipulative. However, when he saw this, he was still enraged.

Lu Zhou looked over as well. Indeed, it was Si Wuya. 'That rascal. How did he land himself in this predicament?'

Han Yuyuan guffawed and said, "Today, I'll publicly execute him!"

Han Yuyuan's deputies drew their swords behind him. They waited for the Second Prince's order.

Leng Luo said, "You dare?!" His hand exerted force, and Mo Li grunted as blood trickled from the edge of her lips. She suddenly leaned forward.

Splurch!

The blade impaled her.

"Senior Brother… avenge… me…"

Leng Luo did not expect Mo Li to expedite her own death. However, he did not have time to process this. He pulled his sword out!

Mo Li fell backward.

...

Outside the Obedient Villa, an ice-cold voice rang out. "No… Junior sister!"

It resounded throughout the entire villa.

The Ten Terminal Formation covered the entire villa. Hence, Mo Li's senior brother, Ba Ma, was lying in wait outside the Formation as they had planned. This was to prevent anyone from escaping. However, their plans could not keep up with the changes!

At this moment, Ba Ma's purple energy formed dark clouds outside the villa.

Liu Huan looked up and said, "Ba Ma, I'll avenge Consort Li's death."

A hoarse voice rang from the dark clouds. "No…"

"Hm?"

"My junior sister is dead. All of you shall die with her!"

Ba Ma was not Mo Li. He only had a single target and that was the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing. Liu Bing was his sworn enemy who had cut down countless citizens of Lou Lan.

Meanwhile, Han Yuyuan frowned. He grabbed Si Wuya and said, "Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Do I have to do everything myself?"

Si Wuya looked up. He said with a chuckle, "Isn't it too early to celebrate?"

"You and your cocky mouth!"

Bam!

Han Yuyuan pushed his hand down and pressed Si Wuya's head against the windowsill. With just a single swing of the blade, Si Wuya's head would roll.

He did not even know whose voice it was that ruined the entire plan…

"The Formation is gone!"

With the Formation gone, Primal Qi surged!

The civilians of Rubei City immediately felt refreshed. The suffocating sensation was gone.

The air flowed freely, and the clouds drifted naturally again.

Everything was back to normal.

At this moment, everyone realized that in the next fight, they would no longer be equals. It was no longer a fight between mere mortals.

The purple clouds rolled to the villa. This was a Grand Witchcraft Formation.

Inside the villa, Liu Huan suddenly ordered, "What're you waiting for? Take down Old Villain Ji!"

If ordinary fights would not do it, the four great generals acting against the old villain should do it now.

Whizz!

Four avatars appeared and lunged at Lu Zhou.

At this moment, Han Yuyuan sneered coldly. "Saber!"

His deputy at the side drew his saber and tossed it over!

Unfortunately, it was not aimed at Han Yuyuan's palm. Instead, it drew across Han Yuyuan's neck!

A red line appeared.

Han Yuyuan was stunned. He turned around and looked at his most trusted subordinate. 'Impossible!'

Si Wuya held his head askance and smiled faintly. "I told you… Isn't it too early for you to be celebrating?"

His other deputies leaped into rage. They exclaimed at the same time, "General Han!"

The deputy who killed Han Yuyuan planted himself before Si Wuya. "Sect master, you've endured many hardships!"

This was the reason why Si Wuya was calm and confident during the time he was held captive.

At this moment, Si Wuya saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Purple lightning crackled across the sky.

In the midst of the four avatars, Lu Zhou leaped into the skies!

"What's that?"

A blue lotus appeared under Lu Zhou's feet.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion shook the heavens!

All of Lu Zhou's extraordinary power surged forth at this moment.

The blue lotus blossomed.

Like a blue firework, it expanded into the surroundings. Lu Zhou's silhouette could no longer be seen.

...

Si Wuya covered his eyes with his sleeve.

When Han Yuyuan's deputies behind him saw this, they swung their blades at him.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The pavilion was filled with energy blades. It was in chaos.

The subordinate who shielded Si Wuya parried the blows as best he could.

Dozens of blows were exchanged in the blink of an eye.

Two fists were no match against four arms, after all. He took a few cuts and was pushed back!

"We'll be rewarded if we kill Si Wuya!"

...

At the same time, the blue radiance in the sky covered the entire pavilion like seawater.

Everyone's sight was obscured.

From Lu Zhou's vantage point, it seemed like he was in the middle of a blue ocean. He could not see anything.

Bam!

Everyone inside the pavilion was pushed away without discrimination! Although they were far away, they were still affected by the blue lotus's energy.

As for the four avatars, they were instantly destroyed as though they were made from paper. The four great generals and their avatars were the closest to the epicenter of the power. Under the waves of energy from the blue lotus, they reeled and spat out blood. They died instantly, powerless to fight back.

Lu Zhou's extraordinary power was no longer what it used to be. An eruption in close range was too much for the four generals to handle.

The purples clouds receded swiftly!

Si Wuya's clothes on his upper body were torn. The huge 'Bind' character on his chest was washed away by the blue lotus' power.

Han Yuyuan's deputies struck out at the air. They unleashed their energies and formed energy blades.

At this very moment, Si Wuya's lips curved into a smile as he said, "… I'm back!" He raised his hand. The hidden weapon formed by thousands upon thousands of energy blades materialized in his hand and shot toward Han Yuyuan's deputies.

"This…"

"Didn't he lose his cultivation base?"

Miserable screams rang in the air, and there was a shower of blood.

As Si Wuya descended, he adjusted his posture. He did not even look at them. He knew what the outcome was. The instant his feet touched the ground, a green-robed figure appeared on a branch of a tree near the pavilion.

With a gentle and polite voice, the person said, "My apologies. I thought it was too much for you to handle."

"Second Senior Brother, there's no time to explain. Let's go!" Truth be told, he was not bothered at all when Han Yuyuan captured him. However, the blossoming blue lotus caused him to frown.

Yu Shangrong smiled and said, "Don't worry… Master has used too much of his Primal Qi. He won't have any strength left."

Si Wuya only said, "Trust me."

Yu Shangrong's smile faded. His expression turned solemn.

"Let's go."

The two of them swiftly made their way out of Rubei City.

The instant Lu Zhou's extraordinary power's outburst ended, he did not have enough energy to climb higher. Hence, he descended slowly. His sight was gradually restored. He looked in the direction of the pavilion immediately. He saw Yu Shangrong and Si Wuya moved at lightning speed.

"Whitzard."

Whitzard stepped on its auspicious clouds as it flew toward Lu Zhou at top speed and carried him.

Lu Zhou turned and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, master!"

In the Obedient Villa, there were Mingshi Yin, Leng Luo, Little Yuan'er, and his mount, Bi An. The ten great generals were dead. The survivors were nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Zhou rode on Whitzard as he chased after Yu Shangrong and Si Wuya…
