Chapter 134: An Incident, Straight Up Declaring It Impossible

They ran, they ran!

Phew, finally saved!

Seeing the demon folk each outrun the other, the students of Ten Thousand Willows Academy were delighted.

They're here.

At this moment, a student saw Lu Xun and the others flying over.

They're from Pure Void Academy.

And there's Lu Xun.

These students had seen Lu Xun before and all knew him.

Brother Wei, we've already lifted the siege for you; when will you give the Dark Energy we just mentioned?

Jin Yuhua landed, retracted his flying sword, and said to Wei Guangyao.

What kind of lifting the siege is this? You didn't waste a single blade or sword; they ran themselves—who's to blame?

A student shouted loudly.

That's right, the demon folk ran themselves; it's got nothing to do with you.

We're all Easterners; there's no need to screw over our own people like this.

Seeing this, the other Ten Thousand Willows Academy students followed suit.

Obviously, they were preparing to renege on the debt.

Thirty million Dark Energy is no small sum; plus, Jin Yuhua and the others indeed never fought the demon folk, so they have ample reason to default.

I think you're trying to welch on the debt.

And you're Ten Thousand Willows Academy students, each of you so lacking in credibility.

Had I known, I should have let the demon folk turn them into corpses.

The Pure Void Academy students wouldn't stand for it; they got up close and started mocking.

I think you've gone mad for money.

A bunch of poor scholars, have you never seen Dark Energy?

The Ten Thousand Willows Academy students refused to back down, and both sides launched into a mutual barrage.

Jin Yuhua pressed down his hand; an invisible spiritual pressure made both sides' hearts jolt, and they fell silent.

They ran themselves? You probably don't know—they were scared off by Lu Xun.

Then he spoke.

What?

Scared off by Lu Xun? You're joking!

The Ten Thousand Willows Academy students didn't believe it.

Brother Jin, what do you mean by that? What's their connection to Lu Xun?

Wei Guangyao also didn't believe it, but he chose to ask further.

Jin Yuhua also came from a great clan, just never entered Ten Thousand Willows Academy.

Wei Guangyao knew his character; as an Immortal Cultivator who focused on mental cultivation, Jin Yuhua never lied.

To be frank, this group of demon folk also attacked us not long ago; they had six Fourth Realm cultivators, but after Lu Xun killed two of them, they fled in disarray.

Jin Yuhua said lightly.

What?!!!

Lu Xun killed two Fourth Realm demon folk?! Is this really not a joke?

Impossible; whether you believe it or not, I don't.

If demon folk are star‑space aliens, are they that easy to kill?

The Ten Thousand Willows Academy students didn't believe it.

The demon folk's combat prowess is universally acknowledged as strong; killing them isn't that simple.

Lu Xun comes and kills two—two Fourth Realm at that—how could they believe it?

What's impossible about it? We've got dozens of eyes watching; could it be fake?

If Lu Xun hadn't frightened them into fleeing, do you really think these demon folk would retreat so quickly?

You probably don't know how sharp Lu Xun's flying sword is.

Other Pure Void Academy students chimed in one after another.

Someone over there!

At this moment, another incident occurred.

A stream of light appeared from a distant rock face and flew toward where everyone was.

That stream of light came too fast; soon it was near here.

Help!

As it approached, the person inside the stream of light saw many students, shouted 'Help!', and fell straight down.

We were attacked by foreign beings; our whole unit scattered, I had to use a flight talisman to escape—I don't know how far I could get, and by the time I fled, three people had already died...

A few minutes later, that student caught his breath and recounted what happened.

They were another squad from Demon Capital University.

At night, they too encountered an attack by foreign beings.

As a result, they weren't so lucky—no one came to rescue them, they suffered heavy losses, and their whole unit scattered.

These foreign beings really are launching attacks everywhere.

Lu Xun felt a faint unease, and couldn't help worrying about Chu Youqing and Murong Wan.

Chu Youqing should go into the undiscovered cellar space; I don't know if she'll be discovered by the alien people, and where is Murong Wan?

Lu Xun grew more worried the more he thought.

Although these alien people are currently only attacking the students on the seventeenth level, nobody knows what's really going on with this secret realm.

What if these third- and fourth-level alien people launch a large-scale attack upstairs and slaughter the students?

With Murong Wan's strength, facing third-level alien people should be no problem.

Even if it's late third-level, she might not be able to win but she can escape.

Using some trump cards Lu Xun gave her, she might even be able to kill them.

But if she encounters fourth-level, it becomes dangerous.

However, given the situation in this secret realm, Lu Xun being anxious won't help.

"By the way, I also discovered something."

The student who had barely escaped spoke again.

"What situation?"

Wei Guangyao asked.

"This secret realm probably can only be gone down, not up, now."

The student said.

"What?"

"Only down, not up?"

"Damn, really or not, then how do we get out?"

This news made the students a bit panicked.

"How's the situation?"

At this moment, Cheng Gang and the others finally arrived.

"If it's true, if we want to get out, we probably have only to go to the underground city, destroy the lighthouse, seize the secret realm's core, and then we can regain control of this secret realm."

A few minutes later, after Cheng Gang understood the situation, he said in a deep voice.

"This should be the real test of this secret realm examination."

Jin Yuhua, on the other hand, wasn't panicked.

Immortal cultivation emphasizes cultivating the mind; remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before you is a basic quality of many immortal cultivators.

Of course, immortal cultivators are still people, and people have emotions; truly those who can achieve that state among immortal cultivators are few.

Especially when facing major changes.

"I suggest we rest for a night, recover well, then early tomorrow morning we'll go kill our way to the eighteenth level, Lu Xun junior, what do you think?"

Cheng Gang sought Lu Xun's opinion.

If it were before, as a fourth-year senior at fourth level, he would never have sought the opinion of a freshman junior on such a major matter.

But after the previous battle, Lu Xun had already proven himself.

In Cheng Gang's mind, Lu Xun carries great weight; he is already on the same level, even slightly higher.

"Okay."

Lu Xun agreed to this plan.

"By the way, Cheng Brother, I also need you to bear witness, just now there was something..."

Jin Yuhua's eyes shifted, and she began to talk about the recent rescue.

"Thirty million Dark Energy?"

That number made Cheng Gang's eyelid twitch.

One person, thirty million.

Wanliu Academy, however, has nine people.

Isn't that two hundred seventy million units of Dark Energy?

Converted to volume, that's also a full two hundred seventy cubic.

That's more profitable than robbing a bank.

"Cheng Brother, we're all friends..."

"Don't, my background is humble, I dare not be friends with you."

Seeing Cheng Gang's face show surprise, Wei Guangyao wanted to play the emotion card.

Cheng Gang, however, directly pulled away.

Unlike Jin Yuhua, Cheng Gang's family is wealthy but not aristocratic.

He was able to attain his current cultivation by his fourth year thanks to a single gain his father had years ago on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road is a place of extreme danger, yet also full of miracles.

Perhaps one day someone will have an encounter there and suddenly rise to prominence.

Therefore, every few years on Lan Xing some families decline, while new families rise.

"As for Lu Xun, we can all bear witness that he indeed killed two demon race fourth-level beings, saved our lives, your lives—actually he saved them—and since you've agreed on the price, reneging on the debt wouldn't be proper."

Cheng Gang then said.

"You lot are in cahoots, taking Dark Energy to split the organs—who would believe that."

Still, some students didn't believe.

"I have a video here."

A student from Beidou University took off a recorder from his chest and projected the video inside onto the air.

He likes to record everything.

In the video, it was precisely the battle scene viewed from his angle.

Only saw Lu Xun use all his means, and in a short time he killed the horned demon.

Not long after, Lu Xun again used his flying sword to kill another fourth-realm demon tribesman.

Although their cultivation couldn't be seen in the video, from the momentum of their moves it was clear that Tie Tie was at the fourth realm.

What's more, after Lu Xun killed two fourth-realm demon tribesmen, the other four demon tribesmen were frightened and fled.

Those four had just almost been killed by them.

"Hiss!"

"Impossible, how could this be possible!"

As soon as the video ended, the scene fell into a brief silence.

Immediately afterward, the students of Myriad Willow Academy erupted, each shouting that it was impossible.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

The hardest to believe was this guy Lin Qiang.

Because of Liu Mei, he actually knew Lu Xun's past.

The more this was the case, the more shocked he became.

Besides shock, there was also fear.

He and Lu Xun indeed had a grudge.

Wei Guangyao took a deep breath.

He admitted that this matter also startled him.

"Since that's the case, we won't renege on the bill; it's just that there's too much dark energy and no signal here. Once we get out, we'll naturally pay!"

Wei Guangyao still had some decorum, straightforwardly admitting it.

Of course, admitting it didn't mean he felt good about it.

On the contrary, whether it was him or the students of Myriad Willow Academy, everyone's mood at this point was extremely unpleasant.

As for the lifesaving favor,

they had long forgotten it to the clouds.
