My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1793

Chapter 1793: Great Maelstrom,; the Upper Core at the Great Abyss Land (2) Translation
‘Is the security so weak for Qi Tong?’

Lu Zhou followed behind the cultivator and entered the building. He said, “You better not play tricks…”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The cultivator was nervous and frightened as he led Lu Zhou to the underground floor.

At the end of the corridor, there was a black stone tablet. To the left and right of the stone tablet was a huge iron pillar. Thick chains twined around each pillar, and there were countless glowing runes engraved on the thick chains. Behind the stone tablet was a long passage.

Clank!

Qi Tong grew excited when it smelled the scent of humans. It laughed crazily before it said, “Ming Xin, you’re here! You’re scared so you came to find me, right?!”

When Lu Zhou and the cultivator were directly at the entrance of the passage, Qi Tong’s voice suddenly changed as it said, “No, no, you’re not Ming Xin! You’re not Ming Xin!”

Then, Qi Tong began to laugh crazily again.

The cultivator did not dare to go any further. He whispered, “Good sir, you have to hurry up!”

Lu Zhou nodded and stepped into the long passage.

The defense of the building was not high, but the stone tablet and the iron pillars were not ordinary. Coupled with the fact that the building was near the Sacred Temple, it could be considered one of the most secure prisons in the world.

Qi Tong’s nose twitched, sensing that the visitor was close. “Who is it?”

……

Since Qi Tong was unable to identify the other party, it became serious and cautious.

Lu Zhou’s vision was good enough that he could see Qi Tong clearly despite the darkness. With just a look, he realized that Qi Tong had already gone blind.

Qi Tong looked like a thin and short old man. However, its facial features looked as though they were casually molded from clay. If one’s mental fortitude was weak, it would be difficult to maintain one’s composure when one saw Qi Tong’s face.

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and called out calmly, “Qi Tong.”

Qi Tong’s ears twitched. It did not recognize the other party’s voice. It could only tell the other person’s voice was powerful and sonorous, like that of a ruler or someone with a high position. This made it even more confused. Then, it began to wildly guess and said, “Zui Can, even if you change your voice and hide your smell, I know it’s you!”

Lu Zhou only shook his head even if Qi Tong could not see it.

“No, Zui Can is dead! Wen Ruqing! Is it you, Wen Ruqing? Stop pretending, Wen Ruqing!” Qi Tong said before laughing again. However, its laughter was laced with a hint of panic.

Lu Zhou said, “Wen Ruqing is dead.”

Qi Tong was shocked. It turned its head, trying to listen carefully as he asked, panicking, “Who are you?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. I have a few questions, and I hope you’ll answer them honestly.”

“No, no, no! Despicable human, you want to use my ability again! Did Ming Xin send you here?! He did, right?! Ming Xin, stop dreaming! It’s been 100,000 years. Isn’t it enough? I’ve been tortured to this state by you!” Qi Tong said accusingly with a hint of hysteria.

Lu Zhou ignored Qi Tong’s outburst and asked, “Where’s Ming Xin?”

Qi Tong asked in confusion, “You’re not Ming Xin’s subordinate?”

Qi Tong listened to the sounds around him, and his nose began to twitch as well. It smelled the cultivator nearby and said, puzzled, “This… is impossible…”

“Nothing is impossible. Answer my question,” Lu Zhou said calmly.

After confirming the other party was not Ming Xin or anyone related to Ming Xin, it said happily, “Ming Xin that coward must have gone to the Great Maelstrom!”

“Why did he go to the Great Maelstrom?” Lu Zhou asked.

Qi Tong had a deep grudge against Ming Xin so it was naturally eager to reveal Ming Xin’s secrets. It said, “Ming Xin could not defeat the Unholy One so he went to the Great Maelstrom to search for weapons!”

“He has the Scales of Justice so why is he afraid of the Unholy One?” Lu Zhou asked again.

Qi Tong cackled for a while before it said, “Everyone thought he would be invincible with the Scales of Justice, but only he himself knew that’s not the case! The cultivation path of the old demon is very unique. Jie Jin’an said the old demon’s avatar is unrestrained by laws and rules. This means that the scales have no effect on the Unholy One. Moreover, that old demon has a void-grade weapon. A void-grade weapon can break all laws!”

“…”

Lu Zhou did not mind Qi Tong calling him the old demon. After all, considering the information he got from Qi Tong, it was nothing to be called an old demon.

‘However… That void-grade weapon you mentioned… isn’t in my hands!’

After a while, Lu Zhou asked, “You know Jie Jin’an?”

Qi Tong sighed and said, “The world only knew that the old demon lived for a long time. They don’t know that Jie Jin’an is also one of the earliest humans in the world, and he’s not the only one…”

“You know that as well? What else do you know?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.

Qi Tong shook its head. “What I know is limited. Oh, that’s right. Ming Xin is just a little short of the old demon…”

“What do you mean?” Lu Zhou asked.

“I mean that Ming Xin is slightly younger than the Unholy One, but he can also be considered one of the earliest humans to exist…”

“You know about his origins?”

Qi Tong replied truthfully, “I don’t know. If you want to know, you’ll have to ask him or the old demon. No one else knows.”

Lu Zhou asked again, “I heard you can see into the future. Tell me about the future of the Unholy One.”

Qi Tong said, “What a coincidence that you’re asking me about things I can pry into. I can only see the future of those who are born after me. This is the rule of the heavens…”

“The Unholy One has ten disciples. Do you know them?” Lu Zhou asked.

“I don’t know,” Qi Tong said with a smile, “I’ve been imprisoned for 100,000 years. How can I know about the changes of the outside world? Although I can see in the future, I’m not omniscient or omnipotent!”

“…”

‘So you’re a good-for-nothing?’

Lu Zhou could only give up on finding out about his disciples’ future from Qi Tong.
