Disciples

"Son, clam down. You just don't understand her," said Old City Lord.

Little Lord who had been listening to Zhu Shensheng was easily distracted and looked away towards the gate. His eyes sporadically flickered with red light.

Shensheng pattered around to face him again. "Big Brother, Sister wants to take you down there and show you what's she's found. We should immediately start searching for the Queen."

"Father, man up! Distract her while I continue attacking the formations," said City Lord Zhang.

"Brother Zhang, if you really want to fight, this Old Lady will grant your wish!"

"This! Sister Zhao, there's no need to..," replied Old City Lord.

"Sun's True Flare!" roared Zhao Jia.

Again, blinding light inundated the area and the defensive formations shuddered under the impact of City Lord Zhang's strike.

Little Lord finally reacted and stood up on his hind legs. Both Zhao Wen and Tian Cai tensed. They both new he was about to intervene.

Zhao Qiang and Qin Rong reappeared, covered in soot and wounds. Fervently, Zhao Qiang asked, "Sister, did you see that? Isn't Grandmother mighty!?"

"Big Brother!" exclaimed Shensheng. Clearly, the Divine Pig was unable to regain Little Lord's attention.

From outside, Old City Lord Zhang somberly said, "Sister Zhao, please forgive this Old Man for daring to offend you. Son, do what you must do."

"Teacher, can't you see my clan is under attack. Little Lord brought this calamity upon us. You want his attention when he he needs to resolve this?" said Tian Cai.

"Humph! These little bastards dare interrupt this Queen's business? Junjie, let's show them the power of Divine might," snorted Shensheng.

Junjie grunted, vigorously pattering about. Battle!

"Junjie, your Queen will demonstrate the effectiveness of her techniques. Little Genius, tell them to allow us through."

Momentarily, Tian Cai was stunned. Firstly, his Teacher was about to make a move. Secondly, how was he going to explain the pig's powers? Suddenly, the light of epiphany struck his mind like lightening.

Waving a hand, Tian Cai ordered, "Open the Gates! Godkiller has commanded his disciples to take action!!"

Gasps filled the area. Godkiller has disciples? Who-who were they?

Everyone looked about until the they saw the focus of Tian Cai's eyes.

Eh!

"It's the pigs? They're Lord Godkiller's disciples?"

Gritting his teeth, Tian Cai continued the charade, "Venerable Disciples, this Young Master pleads with you to defend our Zhao Clan"

For the first time in her life, Qin Rong was envious. What if she was Lord Godkiller's disciple?

Zhao Qiang asked, "Nephew is this true?"

Inwardly, Yueng He-Ping now understood why his Fierce Leader valued the pigs so much. For now on, he would treat them like his ancestors.

Zhao Wen bent low to Tian Cai and asked, "They-They really are his disciples?

Tian Cai responded with a wave of his finger. Clearly, it meant he would explain later.

Zhao Wen's eyes narrowed. If they weren't his disciples, they sill weren't simple.

Seeing no one was moving, Tian Cai roared, "Did you not hear me? Open the f*cking gates!"

Jolted into action, two guards hurriedly opened the gates.

"Little Genius, you watch and see if you can reach a new level of understanding of the Divine Hex."

Inwardly, Tian Cai groaned. Didn't this mean she would use that?

With extreme curiousity, all eyes were locked on the two disciples of Godkiller.

Perhaps in all the Nine Chaos Heavens, no two pigs would ever enjoy such respect and envy.

Shooting glances between Zhao Qiang and Godkiller, Qin Rong sighed endlessly. If only she had met Godkiller before her Master.

As the gates open, Zhao Jia's strike shuddered the space outside.

"Brother Zhang, is all you can do is avoid my strikes?" spat Zhao Jia.

"Finally! Finally you show yourself to me Godkiller. Prepare to die as this seat skins you alive!!" yelled the City Lord.

Shensheng and Junjie pattered out.

Tian Cai partially covered his eyes. "It's gonna be bad!"

Hearing him, Zhao Wen stiffened. For her son to say such words?

Junjie released a flurry of grunts. Only Tian Cai understood his meaning.

"Bastards, you have angered my Master, Zhu Shensheng, The Divine Pig, Queen of the Cosmos. Pay the f*cking price!"

Tian Cai's eyes popped wide. The ugly boar knows curse words?

Shensheng snorted, "Little Bastards, what right do you have to dare hold Big Brother accountable."

Silent Killer!!

One sound overshadowed all other sounds for a fraction of an instant.

The sound of a fart, echoed in all directions.

Everyone's faces except Tian Cai's reflected disgusted dejection. Did one of Lord Godkiller's disciples just fart?

Suddenly, as scene like no other stunned everybody in the Zhao Clan.

To a person, all of the City Lord's army choked and collapsed to their knees. Crying and coughing in horror, each passed out while suffering the attack.

City Lord Zhang, Old City Lord and Zhao Jia froze. What just happened?

Silence killed all sound. After a breath, a Zhao Clan guard roared, "Lord Godkiller's disciples are mighty!!"

City Lord Zhang's eyes popped out. Godkiller has disciples? Looking about, he realized it could only be the pigs.

"You...You dare! Godkiller, this seat will roast you disciples like the pigs they are!!!"

Tian Cai hissed, "It's gonna hurt!"

Shensheng, didn't even waist time.

Divine Defecator!

City Lord Zhang was about to slice off the two animals feet when the most unbearable of pains struck his gut. He keeled over to his knees, his face contorting in unholy horror.

This! A big one now? Was it his wife's food again!? Looking about, he could barely open one eye as he searched for the latrine. Gritting his teeth, City Lord said, "Father, son just remembered he has a very important matter to attend to. Please continue without me."

A sight like no other appeared in everyone's eyes. Holding his stomach and butt cheeks, the City Lord swooshed away like the fastest rocket.

Flabbergasted, Zhao Wen gasped, "Oh my!"

Tian Cai winced, apparently his Teacher's technique was more powerful then before. "Poor fogey," he said.

"Brother Zhang, even though this Old Lady has been drinking, she still knows when someone's runs off like a coward. But must he run holding his butt cheeks?"

Old City Lord's face blackened.

"Humph!" snorted Shensheng.

Junjie grunted.

Tian Cai rolled his eyes. The gist behind Junjie's grunt translated to, 'My Queen is mighty!"

Shensheng shot Junjie a look of deep satisfaction. Wasn't she training her mount well?

"Humph! Is there still a need to battle?" grumbled Zhao Jia.

"Sister Zhao, this...Brother didn't want to act just now. However he's my son."

"Eh, your still here?" she retorted.

Old City Lord's face blanched. Explaining to her was futile. With reluctance he said, "Retreat!"Roars exhulted from the confines of the Zhao Clan.

"Lord Godkiller's disciples are mighty!"

"Glory to our Zhao Clan!"

"Young Master is our Battle God!"

As the two pigs sauntered back into the manor, fanatical reverence filled the eyes of the Zhao Clan members.

Whereas, Zhao Jia returned with her face clearly disturbed by the sight she had just seen.

"Old Matriarch is Mighty!"

Zhao Chen, a.k.a. Fish One, mysteriously brought a wine jar and flashed to his Mother's side. "Old Matriarch, you-you must be thirsty. Here, this is from my private reserve."

"Cai'er, you need to clearly explain to mother what just happened," said Zhao Wen.

Shensheng grunted, "Big Brother, Sister has made those Little Bastards leave. She's sure they won't bother you no more."

Junjie snorted.

"What Junjie? You'll say next time you'll step out and stomp them to death yourself? Regrettably that's not possible with your blind eyes."

"Dadda, son hungry. Feed me."

"Bring carrots now, Lord Godkiller is hungry!"

A Zhao Clan guard had overhead Little Lord and took the initiative to issue the command. Innumerable clan members made a move to gather carrots. What if Lord Godkiller was still accepting disciples? Now was the time to set a good impression. Not even two breaths later, Tian Cai found a pile of carrots before him.

"What, Godkiller has disciples and they're those two pigs," said Zhao Jia, spatting out a spray of wine. Apparently, she had just received the news.

"Rong'er, earlier Master noticed how well you fought. Indeed you have grown well," said Zhao Qiang.

Qin Rong nodded but her eyes were focused on Alchemist Liu. With her status as Tai Cai's gardener, Qin Rong knew the Failed Alchemist was privy to all the things Lord Godkiller liked to eat.

Feeding Little Lord a carrot, Tian Cai said, "Mom, son still isn't clear on how this all started?"

Earlier today, his intention was merely to gain justice for his grandfather and perform the sun ritual. In one day he had been a brawl and the clan was attacked.

Several breaths later, Tian Cai had retreated to Zhao Wen's courtyard. Earlier, Shensheng had taken Little Lord away. Alone, with his mother, Tian Cai had greatly calmed down.

"Cai'er now you can tell Mom now. Just who is Little Lord and those two pigs?"

Tian Cai nodded, he could only reveal the truth. Sister Ling's pet is in fact Little Lord's junior and not his disciple. In fact, they are reincarnations of divine cosmic beings. Their powers are unfathomable and they are absolute iron plates you cannot offend."

He paused a bit so that the information could sink a bit. "The pig, Zhu Shensheng is in fact my Teacher. The ugly boar is officially her mount. Reincarnation has a price. When a divine cosmic being is reborn, they must first awaken before they remember their origins. Teacher has fully awakened, whereas Little Lord has not. This explains why his mental state is that of a child."

Zhao Wen's eyes narrowed to pinpoints. "Cai'er what do these divine cosmic beings want? How powerful are they?"
