The God descended to earth and led his son to chase his wife

Chapter 118 Confrontation

Everyone in the academy also learned about the experience of the inner courtyard disciples. It was not Qi Sheng and others who said it, but Liu Jiang, the inner courtyard tutor who returned to the academy with wounds half a month ago. At this time, half a month had passed since Qi Sheng and others defeated the underworld.

Half a month ago——

After Qi Sheng and his companions defeated the underworld, they heard two pieces of news a few days after they recovered. One was that Su Yichen had already rushed to the underworld to find Lu Wan and Yu Chilin, and the other was that Master Liu Jiang had returned with ten disciples, all of whom were seriously injured. Upon hearing the news, they hurried over and saw that only these ten of the inner court disciples who had been so glorious in the past had returned, and each of them was seriously injured and in critical condition. This made them feel grief and anger.

"How could this happen?" Qi Sheng couldn't help but ask as he looked at the horrific scene in front of him.

"Dean! I brought the children back... The others, the others..." Liu Jiang lay in Han Xufeng's arms, covered in blood, with a weak breath, as if he could die at any time. He spoke with difficulty, and every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

"Stop talking, hold on, I'll take you back to the middle realm right away!" Qi Sheng hurried over and saw the scene in front of him, feeling sad. He thought that all the Tianjiao disciples had died, but he didn't expect that some of them could come back alive. This was undoubtedly a kind of luck. However, Liu Jiang's injuries were too serious, which made him worried.

Liu Jiang held Qi Sheng's hand tightly and shook his head. His eyes gradually lost focus, but he still said with all his strength: "Be careful, be careful... Second... Devil..." His voice became weaker and weaker, and finally only a faint breath remained. As the voice fell, Liu Jiang's hand slipped from Qi Sheng's hand, and his body suddenly became transparent, as if he had lost all vitality.

"What's going on!" Qi Sheng stared with eyes wide open, watching Liu Jiang's body disappear in the air in disbelief. He tried to use his spiritual power to stop it, but to no avail.

Han Xufeng stared blankly at the place where Liu Jiang disappeared, his heart filled with grief and self-blame. They had experienced countless life and death tests together, but now they had to face such a separation. No one could accept this fact.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to have fallen into silence, with only sadness and despair.

Han Xufeng slowly stood up, patted Qi Sheng's shoulder gently, and said softly: "When he just came back, I found that Liu Jiang's soul was seriously damaged and could not be saved. He only insisted on coming back here with the last bit of willpower." After saying that, Han Xufeng shook his head helplessly, his heart full of regret and grief. After all, Liu Jiang is a master of the seventh level of Silver Moon! Who could beat him so miserably? What about those children? Thinking of this, Han Xufeng couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Sheng's face was filled with resentment, he clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were flashing with anger. He thought about what Liu Jiang said before he died: "Be careful... Second... Devil..." This filled him with doubts and uneasiness. Could it be that the person Liu Jiang was referring to as "be careful" was the Second Elder? But what did the word "devil" mean? This mystery made Qi Sheng fall into deep thought, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Han Xufeng frowned, looking at the group of injured disciples in front of him, his face solemn. He said to Qi Sheng: "These disciples seem to have been injured by the same person." Qi Sheng nodded silently, indicating his agreement. The two looked at each other, and saw deep worry in each other's eyes. They knew that there was a huge crisis hidden behind this incident, and they must find out the truth as soon as possible to protect the safety of other disciples in the academy.

"“Notify that all outer courtyard disciples will be sent out to perform a six-month mission first, and all mentors will be sent out for protection. Also, the disciples who are about to be promoted to the inner courtyard and the disciples who are in seclusion, let them go out." Qi Sheng said in a steady and firm voice.

"There are nearly a hundred disciples. How can a few instructors take care of them? What's more, Han Yu has not come back yet. If something happens to these disciples..." Han Xufeng frowned, his tone full of worry.

Qi Sheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Call back all the disciples of Mo Yan, as well as those Leng Yue, Qiu Shuihan and others who are in seclusion, and have them all go to the Moro Secret Realm this time. You notify everyone that the academy will be closed for half a year. As for these disciples, you and the first and third elders will send them back to the Middle Realm, and you guys can stay there for now." After saying that, Qi Sheng put his hands behind his back with a serious expression on his face.

Han Xufeng stared at Qi Sheng with eyes wide open in disbelief, seeming to be shocked by the decision. However, he did not raise any questions or objections, but nodded silently, indicating that he accepted the arrangement. Then, he turned and left, ready to act according to Qi Sheng's instructions.

"Yes, Dean, what about you..." Han Xufeng looked at Qi Sheng with some concern. He considered the safety of everyone, but ignored the old man in front of him - how Qi Sheng should deal with the next situation. Where will old Qi go?

Qi Sheng returned to his usual lazy look, seemingly not taking the crisis seriously. He chuckled and said, "Now that you've all left, I'll be more at peace in the academy. Let's go, it's too noisy with too many people around, and I'm an old man and can't compete with you young people." After saying that, he shook his sleeves and walked out of the room.

Han Xufeng frowned, staring at Qi Sheng's departing back, and a wave of worry rose in his heart. He knew very well that Qi Sheng was not as relaxed as he seemed. This old Qi was not even good at lying... Hey! What kind of evil had happened to him? How could the academy encounter such a disaster? Han Xufeng fell into deep thought, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

Qi Sheng stood on the mountain and watched Han Xufeng's back as he walked down the mountain, sighing inwardly. He knew that his decision might cause some controversy, but for the safety of the academy, he had to make such a decision. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to get through this difficult period.

………………

"What? The captain is missing!" After hearing the news, the skinny monkeys who were practicing showed expressions of surprise and worry on their faces. They immediately stopped practicing and gathered around Liu Yueyao to ask for more details.

Liu Yueyao told them that Lu Wan had been missing for a month, and most of the inner courtyard disciples were dead or injured. This news shocked and saddened Shouhou and others. They could not imagine what kind of danger Lu Wan would encounter. Then, Liu Yueyao mentioned that Instructor Liu Jiang had died, and there was no news of Vice Dean Liu Lin. This series of bad news made Shouhou and others feel extremely heavy.

"Even Liu Jiang's teacher is dead, and Feng Qing hasn't reached the level of a spirit fairy yet, isn't that..." Zhao Linger said worriedly, she was worried that Feng Qing would meet with an accident. However, Ye Wenxi immediately retorted: "Don't talk nonsense! Feng Qing is very capable, she will definitely come back safely." She was full of confidence in Feng Qing and believed that she was capable of coping with difficulties.

Everyone started discussing the matter, but the skinny monkey remained silent. He stood there in shock, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother Shouhou...you..." Liu Yueyao looked at Shouhou with concern.

"Yes, the boss promised us! There will be rewards when we reach the peak of Spirit Emperor! By the way, the boss left his spiritual breath before leaving, look!" The skinny monkey said hurriedly, and then he began to sense the breath left by Lu Wan on his body, but soon he found that the breath was extremely weak, as if it would dissipate at any time.

Everyone was shocked and their faces turned very ugly.

"What's going on? Why is the boss's breath so weak? Did something happen to her?" someone asked worriedly.

The skinny monkey frowned and said firmly: "No, the boss is so powerful, how could anything happen to him? Maybe it's just because the distance is too far, so the aura seems so weak."

Everyone knew that even their mentor, who was at the spiritual fairy level, had died. How could Feng Qing, who was not even at the spiritual fairy level, be safe and sound?

"Boss will be fine. We agreed to go to the Middle Realm together!" Skinny Monkey suddenly said loudly, as if to encourage himself. "Besides, I believe Boss will not forget our agreement. Maybe she is just delayed by something and can't come back immediately. But I believe that as long as we work hard to improve our strength, we will be able to help her better when she comes back."

"Yeah, that's right!" Tang Yi nodded in agreement. "We can't just sit here and wait, we have to improve our strength as soon as possible. Also, I heard that the academy will be closed for half a year, and all the disciples in the academy will go to a secret realm to practice together. This is a rare opportunity, we must seize it."

The thin monkey's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "That's great, we can take this opportunity to improve our cultivation. Maybe by the time we come out of the secret realm, we'll have reached the peak of the Spiritual Emperor!"

"Let's get ready now. We'll start going to the secret realm tomorrow." Tang Yi urged.

Everyone nodded, and went back to their own courtyards to pack up their things, or went down the mountain to buy things and eat...

Everyone knew what was going on, but they kept silent. They all hoped that Lu Wan would return safely...

"Junior Sister Yueyao, don't worry. I will protect you when the boss is not around!" The skinny monkey said to Liu Yueyao.

Liu Yueyao nodded worriedly, her thoughts drifting far away, wondering how her cousin Wan and Yuchi Lin were doing... It was all her fault that she was too weak, if she had been more capable, those things would not have happened.

"I must work hard to become stronger!"

——————The Underworld

Mingye looked at the man in front of him. He didn't expect that after so many years, he was still alive!

"Surprised?" Su Yichen gently blew away the hot steam on the teacup, then took a sip and frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the taste of the tea. However, he did not directly answer Mingye's question, but said lightly: "The tea in your underworld is still so unpalatable."

Ming Ye frowned. He knew that Su Yichen was avoiding the question, but he did not continue to ask. His red eyes flashed, and he looked at Su Yichen and said, "I thought you were dead a long time ago. Are you really a human? As far as I know, the life span of mortals is not that long. Even if you are a cultivator, you can only live for 500 years. How did you live so long? Are you a demon?"

Su Yichen smiled slightly and put down the teacup. His eyes revealed a kind of depth and mystery, as if hiding countless unknown secrets. He looked at Mingye and said softly: "There are some things you don't need to know too much."

Ming Ye shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself, "I originally thought this person was his reincarnation, but now it seems that this familiar feeling is clearly that person. Could it be that he has actually lived for a whole thousand years? Or perhaps, this time is even longer... After all, I had an intersection with him before I closed my eyes and fell asleep."

At this moment, Ming Ye suddenly reached out and tried to take the teacup from Su Yichen's hand. "If you are not used to it, don't drink it."

However, Su Yichen held the teacup tightly and refused to let go.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and neither of them moved. However, in a state of mind that others could not detect, they had already started a fierce confrontation. This confrontation was not a physical collision, but a spiritual contest, and both sides were trying to break through the other's defenses...

Half a minute later, Su Yichen gently loosened his hand and said, "You in the underworld have really long arms!"

Ming Ye snorted, still one move short of defeating him, "They are just a bunch of scum who escaped from somewhere."

"No matter what, if they dare to hurt my students, I will not let them go easily." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Su Yichen's eyes.

Ming Ye raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You are still the same as before, very protective of your shortcomings."

"Of course I have to protect my students." Su Yichen picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.

Mingye looked at him, and a trace of envy rose in his heart. He sighed and said, "Sometimes, I really envy you for being able to live so freely."

Su Yichen smiled but said nothing. His smile was somewhat relieved, as if he had already seen through everything in this world.
