Chapter 189: The Puppet Master? Sima Yulong's Reputation Damaged on the First Day! (4000)
"Hahaha, this is so amusing!"
"Did you see his reaction when I mentioned the Immortal Array Disk? His face turned pale every time I brought it up!"
"When he first appeared, his expression was priceless! His eyes were almost popping out!"
"..."
Dawn broke.
The footsteps of the Three Purities group never stopped.
Everyone burst into laughter when they recalled what had just happened.
Shi Ming's performance was truly ridiculous.
Wang Xiu listened to everyone's comments, smiling but not saying a word.
On the side, Xiang Tiange, wearing a huge suit of armor and towering like a giant, said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, that person set up an ambush with a killing formation against us. Obviously, his intention is not just ordinary competition, but to kill. If we let him go, will there be consequences?"
Li Zuoyue also said, "Yes, even if we can't do much, we should at least capture him! We should find out his identity!"
Wang Xiu remained calm, smiling as he said, "No need to ask, I know his identity!"
Xiang Tiange was surprised, "Oh? Who is it?"
Wang Xiu said, "He is Shi Ming, the personal disciple of the Heaven Peering Pavilion's Sect Master Ji Wushi."
That day, on the Other Shore Ark, Shi Ming had secretly observed Wang Xiu, but he was noticed by him.
At that time, Wang Xiu only judged that he was a disciple of one of the several families and sects that practiced divination, but it was difficult to determine which one exactly.
Later, he specifically asked Zhang Yuge.
The Dragon-Tiger Immortal Gate had high hopes for him.
They hoped that he would obtain the greatest opportunity in this Holy Academy and surpass all the geniuses.
Therefore, they made thorough preparations and prepared a list in advance, recording all the outstanding young talents of the current generation from the major Immortal Gates.
Wang Xiu had seen that list.
Therefore, with just one glance, he confirmed Shi Ming's identity.
"Heaven Peering Pavilion?" The crowd frowned.
The Heaven Peering Pavilion had a deep background and a history of thousands of years.
But it had never developed into a true cultivation sect. Instead, it was more like a business, walking in the mortal world and having numerous connections with ancient sects. It had a wide network of contacts.
However, even so, the Heaven Peering Pavilion still did not have any spots in the Ancient Saint Academy.
Even though many people knew that the Heaven Peering Pavilion had a powerful background and strength that was not inferior to ordinary Blessed Lands.
But from the perspective of the Immortal Alliance, the Heaven Peering Pavilion was not qualified to directly obtain a spot in the Holy Academy.
Now, all the Immortal Gate forces in the South State had been established and stabilized through the blood and fire of the war to defend the human race.
Wang Xiu nodded and said, "He entered the Holy Academy as a disciple of the Six Astrology Blessed Land's true transmission. Two of the four elders of the Six Astrology Blessed Land are his adoptive fathers!"
The Six Astrology Blessed Land was one of the several ancient forces closely related to the Heaven Peering Pavilion.
In recent years, it had been rising rapidly and had even shown signs of entering the top Blessed Lands.
The elders of the Six Astrology Blessed Land were figures second only to the Sect Master in terms of status.
They were highly respected and had formidable cultivation.
Wherever they went, they were giants in their own right!
"No wonder this kid has so many good things on him..." Li Zuoyue rubbed his chin.
With the support of two major forces, it was understandable that Shi Ming had a wealthy background.
Xiang Tiange pondered for a moment and said, "There has been very little interaction between our Three Purities and the Six Astrology Blessed Land for hundreds of years. We have neither grudges nor favors. Why would he resort to such a killer move?"
Wang Xiu smiled faintly and said, "The only person he must kill is me!"
The crowd was surprised at first, but then it dawned on them.
Without a doubt, the Divination Lineage was an insurmountable mountain standing in front of all those who relied on divination for a living.
During the peak of the Divination Lineage, anyone who made a living from divination could only be considered a sorcerer of the world.
The two words "Divination Lineage" had weighed on them for endless years.
Now, after waiting so long for the downfall of the Divination Lineage, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xiu, as a descendant of the Divination Lineage, began to shine and gradually stood alongside the most dazzling geniuses of the entire South State.
How could they not panic?
As long as there is a slight possibility that Wang Xiu could lead the Divination Lineage back to its peak.
For forces like the Heaven Peering Pavilion, this is a nightmare.
They fear and tremble.
Anything is possible.
It is not difficult to understand why they are willing to take risks.
"Scum!"
Ji Zidian gritted her silver teeth, her snow-white face filled with anger, thunderous energy surging through her body, directly blasting a nearby giant tree into charcoal: "He shouldn't have gone far, I'll go back and deal with him!"
Someone has murderous intent towards Wang Xiu, and she cannot accept it.
It is even more despicable than someone directly targeting her!
Why should Senior Brother Wang Xiu, who is such a good person, die?
"Don't be hasty!"
Wang Xiu stopped her and said slowly, "Although they have reasons and motives to kill me, don't you think it's too bold for them to act like this?"
After all, the Holy Academy World is a closed world.
There are only so many people inside.
The major Immortal Gates, the geniuses who can enter for training, will inevitably suffer some losses. After all, only by experiencing life and death can true geniuses be tempered, surpassing their peers and displaying their brilliance!
They can die in the dangerous areas of the Holy Academy, they can die under the claws of ancient ferocious beasts, and they can even die from going astray in their cultivation.
But what they cannot accept the most is dying from the schemes of other Immortal Gate forces.
In the end, the Immortal Alliance still exists.
The Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands are all allies!
They all stand firm on the front line against the Demon Race.
Once such a thing happens, it will be thoroughly investigated and not easily forgiven.
Moreover, before entering the Holy Academy, Wang Xiu had already shown extraordinary talent, and almost everyone knew... Wang Xiu is the dark horse of this generation, one of the hidden cards of the Three Purities.
If they make a move against Wang Xiu, they must be prepared to face the wrath of the Three Purities Immortal Gate.
Even though the Three Purities Immortal Gate has declined today.
But a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.
It is still that behemoth, standing at the pinnacle of the South State, ruling over billions of living beings, with a Saint in the world, the lineage of immortals!
Heaven Peering Pavilion cannot withstand this anger.
And with the addition of the Six-Yao Blessed Land, two ancient forces joining forces, is it enough to be taken lightly?
Mo Wuwei raised his glasses and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Junior Brother, are you suspecting that there are other forces behind them?"
Wang Xiu nodded.
In the past, the best solution would have been for him to kill Shi Ming and use the Soul-Reading Art of the Emperor of the Netherworld to capture the information in his mind.
Wang Xiu was used to doing things like this and was very skilled at it.
But at that time, Wang Xiu had the backing of the Three Purities Immortal Gate.
Even if there were enemies beyond his own capabilities, the Immortal Gate could take action.
He could act with confidence.
The situation is different now.
If there are more terrifying forces pushing behind Shi Ming, as he suspects.
Then his opponent this time is much more terrifying than those demonic sects in the past.
The other party dares to risk the wrath of the Three Purities, to make a move against him, it is not something that ordinary demonic sects can compare to.
Once Shi Ming is killed, it may startle the snake and who knows what unexpected consequences it may bring.
Wang Xiu does not want to let things get out of his control.
Furthermore.
His current reputation is incomparable to before.
In the past, he was a nobody, and no one would notice if he disappeared for a while.
Even if he used the Heavenly Demon's Myriad Transformations Technique to transform into the appearance of a demonic cultivator and infiltrate the enemy camp undercover for several months, no one would sense that something was wrong.
It is possible in this holy world.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at him.
If he were to disappear and go to the other side as Shi Ming to investigate the news, the disturbance caused would be even greater than if Shi Ming had died.
It would be better to stabilize the situation first, just like it is now.
...
"I left some means on him! If he really acts suspiciously, I will know immediately..." Wang Xiu said calmly.
Everyone exchanged glances.
Xiang Tian Ge nodded and said, "Wang Xiu Junior Brother has considered everything thoroughly and does things without leaking any information. We can rest assured!"
Wang Xiu smiled lightly and said, "Let's put these matters aside for now. We need to focus on the main task!"
The main task?
Everyone's eyes lit up, obviously recalling the scene where they rampaged and harvested precious materials in the ancient forest. Their eyes immediately became excited.
In this ancient forest, everything else is secondary!
The real thing is to search for treasures!
...
Boom!
The ancient forest didn't stay quiet for long before it became restless again.
The earth trembled, countless ferocious beasts roared and howled.
Emitting terrifying sounds.
Somewhere.
Three young people chased after a ferocious beast together. The beast was covered in runes, emitting golden light, and had an extraordinary aura.
The leading man was tall, with faint golden pupils, as if he had Transcendent bloodline. He was enveloped in a terrifying pressure.
Boom!
A golden eagle soared through the air, its wings extending like hundred-zhang-long blades, tearing through hurricanes and destroying everything in its path.
Several small mountains were directly crushed by the hurricane.
The tall man roared, holding a trident in both hands, radiating terrifying golden light, and leaping into the air.
He thrust the trident into the back of the golden eagle.
The terrifying force directly pierced through half of its wing, and the huge golden eagle fell to the ground, creating a massive crater.
"Why struggle?" The tall man twisted his neck and walked towards the golden eagle, stepping on its huge head. "You are destined to die today. You could have died without suffering!"
"Roar!"
The golden eagle roared, thunder resounded, causing the ancient trees around to crack.
But in the eyes of the three people, it was resisting in a corner.
The tall man sneered, lifted the trident, and was about to pierce the golden eagle's head to obtain its Beast Core.
Just then.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
A silver spear arrived with an unimaginable momentum, tearing through everything and being invincible.
The tall man trembled all over, feeling a bad premonition. His scalp went numb and his back chilled. He quickly turned his head to dodge, crossing his hands in front of him, using his entire body's power to resist.
Boom boom boom!
His body was enveloped in golden light, condensing into the form of an ancient giant tiger, roaring towards the sky, with astonishing defense.
But in front of that silver spear, the ancient giant tiger instantly shattered.
Boundless killing intent condensed into a storm.
The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped.
The tall man didn't even have time to make another move when the silver spear reached his throat.
"This Golden Dragon Eagle belongs to us!"
A indifferent voice sounded, seemingly devoid of any emotions.
A cold chill enveloped the tall man's body.
Ice formed beneath his knees, freezing him in place, unable to move.
He could only barely move his eyes and look at the owner of the silver spear.
Wearing a silver robe, emitting a faint light of runes all over, with a sickly pale complexion, and eyes as cold as the wind in the twelfth lunar month, devoid of any emotions.
"Frost Snow Divine Spear! Ranked 14th on the Gold Core List, Sima Yulong!" The tall man's eyes flashed with terror and unwillingness.
Among his peers in the Immortal Gate, he was already outstanding, a true genius.
He had fought his way out of countless battles among cultivators and had reached the Transcendent realm.
But under Sima Yulong's spear, he couldn't even last for one round.
The gap between them was so great that it was despairing.
Indeed, even between geniuses, there was an insurmountable gap.
Sima Yulong.
One of the top three disciples of the Antarctic Grotto-Heaven, with extraordinary spear skills. He had joined the sect at a young age and reached the Ninth Layer of the Gold Core realm, ranking 14th on the Gold Core List.
Truly deserving of his reputation.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A few crisp sounds.
Followed by screams.
The tall man didn't need to turn around to know that his two fellow disciples had been defeated by other geniuses from the Antarctic Grotto-Heaven.
He said with unwillingness in his voice, "We were the ones who discovered it first!"
Sima Yulong glanced at him, devoid of any emotion in his eyes. "According to the rules of the ancient forest, what you eat is yours!"
Upon hearing these words, the tall man and the others couldn't say anything, no matter how unwilling they were.
When one's skills are inferior to others, what face is there to continue fighting?
He gritted his teeth, retreated from the spear, and left with his two fellow disciples.
Just then...
The golden dragon eagle that had been injured and lying on the ground suddenly let out a cry and took flight again.
It still had some strength left, not completely exhausted.
Sima Yulong looked at the direction the golden dragon eagle was escaping to, his expression calm. "There is a trace of Dragon Race bloodline in its bones. It's indeed different, it even knows how to use its brain... But unfortunately, it's just a desperate struggle!"
"Senior brother, let's go after it!" The three geniuses from the Antarctic Grotto-Heaven gathered and said so.
Sima Yulong waved his hand to stop them. "No need, I can handle it alone. You continue forward, I'll catch up later!"
The three geniuses exchanged glances, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Sima Yulong glanced at them. "Even if Li Xuanqi, Zhang Yuge, and Zhuge Changsheng come, I can still retreat unscathed. As for the others... what is there to fear?"
With that, he held his spear with one hand and flew into the air.
Elegant and graceful, like a white dragon in the world, he was extremely dashing.
The three geniuses sighed, "Senior brother Sima's demeanor is something we can hardly hope to match in this lifetime!"
"Let's go, let's wait for senior brother up ahead!"
"Whoosh..."
Just then...
A thunderous roar came from behind.
"Isn't that the golden dragon eagle? Why did it come back? It's even faster than when it fled earlier!" someone exclaimed, puzzled.
Someone speculated, "Could it be that senior brother Sima used some powerful means to force the golden dragon eagle to turn back?"
The last person's eyes were full of admiration. "Truly worthy of senior brother Sima!"
Before they could finish speaking...
The golden dragon eagle had already flown over their heads and continued on towards a farther place, cutting through countless trees and shattering numerous small mountains, as if it was rolling and crawling.
Then, another figure swiftly passed by.
Flying directly over their heads, dressed in white, holding a silver spear, who else could it be but Sima Yulong?
However, at this moment, Sima Yulong's face was not calm. Instead, he had a look of disbelief, as if he was running for his life, panicking and not caring about the path he took. He ran far away but still turned back to shout, "Run! Damn it, it's a ghost!"
The others were stunned, not understanding what had happened.
But the next moment...
They knew.
