My Disciples Are All Villains

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “I’m the only one under the heavens who can save her.” He raised a palm. A Critical Heal Card appeared in his palm. He turned his palm down, and a tidal wave of power entered Yong Ning’s body like willow strands. A Critical Heal Card had a 30% healing effect.

“Merciful Ark of Salvation.” Si Wuya observed this scene, slightly shocked. However, when he recalled his master had summoned a 100-foot Golden Buddha Body in Liang Province’s city, he felt it was natural that his master was skilled in this healing method as well. At this moment, he recalled his Eldest Senior Brother’s words from some time ago. At that time, he was skeptical and uncertain. However, at this moment, he was growing increasingly certain that his master might have found a way to overcome the great limit. Otherwise, how could his master, whose great limit is near, be able to unleash Abandon Wisdom with one hand and defeat Xiang Lie with a single strike? How could his master kill Kong Xuan with a single slash on Runan’s holy altar? As he looked at the power that continued to heal Yong Ning, his eyes were brimming with shock.

After a moment, Lu Zhou retracted his palm when he was done with the treatment. According to his calculations, this card should be enough to preserve her life. All she had to do was to rest and recuperate.

Yong Ning coughed, still unconscious. Blood began to trickle from the edge of her lips.

“Hm?” Lu Zhou found this strange. He stooped and checked her pulse again. He sent some Primal Qi into Yong Ning’s internal organs.

…

Meanwhile, the others waited outside the room in the southern pavilion.

Zhao Yue was pacing restlessly.

“Fifth Senior Sister, you should stop and rest. It won’t do if you overexert yourself,” Zhu Honggong said.

“Shut up,” Zhao Yue snapped.

“Shutting up now.”

At this moment, the quiet Hua Yuexing said, “I remember seeing Princess Yong Ning inside the palace before. She has a good temper and is a humble person who loves peace. Why would she be used as someone else’s pawn?” She shook her head and sighed.

Hua Wudao said, “It’s impossible for a person to be free from such things within the palace walls. You’ve stayed there for a year. Weren’t you nearly dragged into Mo Li’s fight as well?”

“You’re right, Elder Hua.”

“All I can say is that the heavens are cruel to her…” Hua Wudao sighed.

“Is there nothing else we can do?”

“The outcome is too bleak… Once the poison permeates her internal organs, it’s not something that can be overcome with a profound cultivation base alone,” Hua Wudao said.

At this moment, Pan Litian, who had been drinking by the side, said, “Perhaps, a cultivator with godly healing skills could keep her alive for some time.”

Leng Luo glanced at Pan Litian and said, “Old Pan, it’s rare that I find myself agreeing with you.”

When the three elders of the Old Age Pavilion were so certain, the others definitely did not doubt them.

It seemed like Yong Ning was destined to die? It was a hard pill to swallow.

Little Yuan’er looked at the three of them and said contemptuously, “Sister Yong Ning is pretty. She won’t die, I’m sure of it.”

The three elders did not argue with the little girl.

‘If looks determine one’s life, I would’ve been invincible when I was young.’

“Can’t master do something?” Zhao Yue found it difficult to accept the reality.

“Healing and killing are two completely different acts… just like this brick!” Hua Wudao raised a hand. A brick nearby flew into his palm. He wrapped his energy around it.

Bam!

The brick exploded into pieces.

Hua Wudao kept them afloat with his energy and drew them toward his palm.

This display fascinated his audience.

This was a great test of a cultivator’s control over his own power.

Hua Wudao pieced the pieces together into the shape of a brick, displaying his precise control.

The others seemed to understand what Hua Wudao was trying to say. Once the brick was shattered, even if a cultivator had a profound cultivation base, it was virtually impossible to restore the brick to its original form.

A brick was a crude example. Even with precise control, he could only maintain its shape.

Hua Wudao suddenly clenched his hand.

Crack!

The pieces of the brick fell to the ground.

“Do you understand now?”

“Understood. Thank you for the lesson,” Zhao Yue said.

Leng Luo and Pan Litian did not even watch Hua Wudao showing off. They were looking at the door, instead.

After the explanations given by the three elders, the others seemed defeated. Their heads hung low, and they seemed dispirited.

…

Lu Zhou injected some of his Primal Qi into Yong Ning’s body again. He was sure the Critical Heal Card he used moments ago had healed 30% of her injuries. However, the strange thing was the energy scattered in her body again and began to eat away at the healed organs. What a peculiar energy.

‘No way… I bragged about my own abilities earlier. Is it turning back to bite me now?’

Lu Zhou remembered his Strengthened Critical Heal Cards. Would the energy spread and corrode Yong Ning’s organs if they were not treated in one go? This meant the Strengthened Critical Heal Card would be useless as well. Where was he supposed to look for a Critical Heal Card with a 100% heal rate? He was frustrated.

“Master?” Si Wuya called out in confusion when he saw his master lost in thoughts.

This pulled Lu Zhou back to the present. He stroked his beard and said, “Stay outside.”

“Yes, master.” Si Wuya turned around and obediently left the room.

Lu Zhou flipped his palm. Yong Ning sat up straight.

Lu Zhou’s cultivation base was only in the Divine Court realm. He used all of his Primal Qi to suppress her injuries and tried to think of a way. After a while, he sent his Primal Qi into her body again through his palm. His Primal Qi flowed into her meridian vessels like a stream of water.

With the supply of Primal Qi, Yong Ning seemed to feel better.

Lu Zhou increased the flow of Primal Qi. At this moment, he suddenly felt the unique power in Yong Ning’s internal organs rushing toward his Primal Qi. It was as though it was blocking his Primal Qi from entering her body.

“The power of a talisman seal? The Celestial Masters Sect?” Lu Zhou murmured. He tapped her with his finger. The battle in Liang Province’s city had been too chaotic. He did not even see how Yong Ning used her energy blade. He did not expect Yong Ning to use the Celestial Masters Sect’s talisman seal. He would be hard-pressed to deal with a talisman seal with his Divine Court realm cultivation base. Moreover, he had almost depleted his supply of Primal Qi.

Just when he was about to remove his palm, the power of the talisman seal ate away at his Primal Qi in the opposite direction of her meridian vessels.

Lu Zhou instinctively circulated the Heavenly Writing scroll’s power. The golden radiance immediately turned blue as it swirled in his palm.

This time, unfamiliar scripts appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind.

Visiting many places without having to move, and reaping many benefits in return.

This was the power of incorporeal existence.

“A Heavenly Writing power?” Lu Zhou instinctively moved his palm. He merely wanted to fight the power of the talisman seal. Hence, he did not use much of his extraordinary power. He merely used one-tenth of his full capacity.

Blue lotuses appeared in his palms. The blue lotuses shone brilliantly. His palm brimmed with life. The power of the talisman seal was instantly crushed by the blue lotuses.

Shortly after, the blue lotuses sunk into Yong Ning’s body before they suddenly expanded.

The blue lotuses grew. One meter, two meters, three meters… ten meters… They radiated into the surroundings. It seemed as though they had taken root in the southern pavilion before spreading out.

Swoosh!

At this moment, some of the withered plants in pots around the southern pavilion’s hall began to sprout leaves and flowers, surprising everyone.

“What happened?”

“Look at the potted plants!”
