My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1187: The Free Man

Lu Zhou sized up the gray-clad cultivator. For the person in front of him to arrive at Cold Breeze Valley in such a short time, his cultivation must not be low.

The gray-clad cultivator sized Lu Zhou and Lu Qianshan up with a faint smile on his face.

Lu Qianshan broke the silence first and calmly asked, "Is something the matter?"

With a Venerable Master at his back, Lu Qianshan was not afraid at all. He even had the urge to rush over and beat the other party up. After all, the other party was hovering in the air with a somewhat arrogant attitude. Was this not rude to his family's Venerable Master?

The gray-clad cultivator said, "I'm Naihe…"

"Naihe?"

"Can both of you leave the thing you found at the bottom of the cliff?" Naihe said with a smile on his face. His words made people inexplicably angry.

Lu Qianshan said indignantly, "Who do you think you are? How dare you behave so atrociously in front of Senior Lu?"

Naihe was not angry. He only said, "I advise both of you to leave things you found here…"

Lu Qianshan's eyes turned cold, and his voice was stern as he said, "Do you know who's standing in front of you?"

Naihe shifted his gaze away from Lu Qianshan to Lu Zhou. After staring at Lu Zhou for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No."

"..." Lu Qianshan was speechless. He thought to himself that the gray-clad cultivator really did not know what was good for him.

At this moment, Lu Zhou calmly asked, "Where are you from?"

Upon hearing this, Naihe smiled at Lu Zhou and said, "You're much smarter than many people I've met since you know to ask this question. I'm in a good mood today so there's no harm in telling you. I'm from the green lotus domain, and I'm a Free Man."

'A Free Man?' Lu Zhou was puzzled. It was his first time hearing this term.

Naihe said, "Many people in this world are bound by the heaven and earth's shackles. They're forced to abide by the rules set by the heavens. Cultivation itself is defying the heavens and changing one's fate. Alas, there are, ultimately, limits. After cultivators reach a certain realm, they'll attract attention. At that time, they'll be punished by The Balance. A Free Man is someone who manipulates the rules to come and go freely."

When Naihe saw the puzzled expressions on Lu Zhou and Lu Qianshan's faces, he said with a smile, "I've said these words to many people. Unfortunately, most of them couldn't understand…"

Lu Zhou asked, "What's your purpose for coming here?"

Naihe said, "Both of you… There are many things I can't explain and many questions I can't answer. This is all I can say…"

It was obvious Naihe was not going to change his mind.

Lu Zhou frowned. He said indifferently, "Before I change my mind, it's best if you vanish from sight now."

"?"

The smile vanished from Naihe's face instantly. His expression was slightly solemn as he sized Lu Zhou up again.

At this time, the cultivators who were waiting not too far away from Cold Breeze Valley rushed over one after another. Their leader was none other than the middle-aged Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator.

"Who's so bold as to disrespect Senior Lu?" the middle-aged man said before he manifested his astrolabe.

Following that, dozens of cultivators manifested their avatars one after another. From five leaves to ten leaves, they had everything.

When Naihe saw these people, he raised his voice and said, "Those who aren't involved should stay out of this…"

Then, he lifted his right hand and launched a palm seal toward the cultivators who were rushing over.

The palm seal's size increased swiftly, and in just a blink of an eye, it was several hundred feet tall.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The middle-aged man's astrolabe creaked before it caved in, and he was sent flying back.

Even a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator ended up like that, there was no need to mention the others.

Naihe remained expressionless. He did not even spare a glance at the others. Instead, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, "This is my duty. Please forgive me."

After the cultivators who were sent flying landed on the ground, they looked at the gray-clad cultivator in shock. The younger cultivators rarely paid attention to matters related to the World Beyond the Heavens so they did not think much of it.

The Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator only had very basic knowledge about the World Beyond Heaven. He found it difficult to accept that the gray-clad cultivator had sent all of them flying with just a palm strike.

Buzz!

Naihe raised his hand. Following that, a huge astrolabe appeared in his hand.

16 Birth Charts lit up consecutively on the astrolabe. It shone with a dark green light and emitted a strong aura.

Following that, Naihe clenched his hand, and the astrolabe disappeared.

"Green lotus cultivator?! He's a green lotus cultivator!"

Naihe said with a smile, "This should be enough, right? Everyone says that strength is authority, but I'd always disagreed. However, ever since I became a Free Man, I gradually discovered that a show of strength indeed saves me a lot of time…"

Lu Qianshan shook his head and said, "I thought you're a Venerable Master. As it turns out, you're just a brat with 16 Birth Charts."

"Huh?" Naihe was puzzled.

"Venerable Master Lu, he's an intruder from the green lotus domain. Please kill him, Venerable Master Lu," Lu Qianshan said.

Naihe's eyes widened as he looked at Lu Zhou. "You're a Venerable Master?!"

Lu Zhou said indifferently, "Why? Don't I look like a Venerable Master?"

Naihe's expression grew a little unnatural, and his aura seemed to drop slightly as well. Then, he said, "Over the past 30,000 years, I've never heard of a Venerable Master in this place. If you're a Venerable Master, then I'm willing to apologize for my previous attitude. However, if you're not a Venerable Master, I'll have to take whatever you took from the bottom of the cliff today."

Naihe was very direct, unlike those villains who liked playing tricks.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianshan smiled a little smugly before he said, "Then, you better hurry up and apologize…"

"..."

Lu Zhou thought to himself that the more he went with the flow, the more difficult it was for him to dissociate himself from that identity. He could tell the Free Man was waiting for him to reveal his astrolabe.

After a moment, Lu Zhou said in a dark voice, "You're young so you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders…"

Following that, Lu Zhou flashed forward and pushed his palm, which was glowing with the supreme mystic power, out.

A palm seal the size of an adult shot out immediately. With the Concealment card, the supreme mystic power was golden.

Naihe was shocked when he felt the intense pressure from the palm seal. Nevertheless, he did not dodge. Instead, he raised his hand and launched a palm seal in return.

Boom!

The golden and green palm seals collided. The impact unleashed a wave of vertical energy that rippled out in the air.

However, this was not the end.

Lu Zhou had used the full power of the supreme mystic power after all. With his remaining strength, he moved forward and pressed the green palm seal back.

Naihe's expression changed to one of shock. He could sense the infinite and unfathomable power from the golden palm seal. The golden palm seal continued pushing him back until they flew toward the distant mountain range.

At this time, Lu Zhou finally came to a stop.

Under the enormous force of the palm seal, Naihe continued to fly backward until he crashed into a mountain.

Boom!

Alas, it was still not over!

The remaining power from the golden palm seal pushed Naihe into the mountain wall, creating a human-shaped hole.

Faced with absolute strength, techniques, rules, and tricks were rendered useless.

Meanwhile, everyone watched with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

"Is this the power of a Venerable Master?"

Lu Qianshan was in high spirits. He did not care if it was a golden palm seal or a black palm seal. Such a powerful palm seal was a good palm seal, regardless of its color! The palm seal had easily sent a Sixteen Chart cultivator flying and even pushed said cultivator into the mountain wall! Who cared what color it was?

Similarly, the others were also excited watching a Venerable Master in action.

At the same time, Lu Zhou hovered in the air as he looked at the human-shaped hole indifferently. He saw a faint light glinting in the hole and waited for a moment.

After a moment, Naihe flew back from the other side of the mountain wall through the hole he created. He held his arm as he bowed deeply to Lu Zhou and said, "I'm willing to… apologize."
