Chapter 422

Arriving at Li Lao's room, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your help during this period. I know about the recent events. Thank you for your careful care."

"Not bad. Your strength has reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, which can be considered very formidable. You have worked hard during this period. If you settle down well, I can finally rest assured."

He hurriedly said, "It's not hard. It is my honor in this life to guard the Martial Song Academy. After breaking through to the peak of the Emperor Realm, I can't reach a higher realm in this life, but according to the current situation, it is enough to deal with all crises."

"It can't always be you taking action. As the trump card of our Martial Song Academy, it must be placed at the end. Unless it is a last resort, it must be hidden."

"Haha, you brat have some conscience. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. I am always welcome."

Chen Ang was somewhat depressed. He found Wan Wan Shitong and asked, "How is it? Is the Glory Fruit useful?"

Wan Wan Shitong summoned the Nine Nether Underworld Flame and said, "Good stuff. No wonder there are only five in two hundred years. With such good stuff, if I eat a few more, I can break through to the next spiritual power realm. It's just a pity that it's somewhat rare, and there's no way to get so many."

"Fine, as long as there is improvement. Teacher Xing Tian just happened to break through during this period, and I can see his strength less and less. Should we also break through?"

"Boss, no. Teacher Xing Tian repeatedly instructed you to keep your cultivation in the best state. The Spirit Realm is a watershed. The longer you stay in this realm, the greater your future achievements will be. My father also repeatedly instructed that if you can stay for a longer period, stay for a longer period. You must not make mistakes."

Chen Ang shook his head helplessly and agreed. When the two were chatting, they suddenly felt a mysterious aura.

Wan Wan Shitong's spiritual power was stronger than Chen Ang's, and he said, "Boss, I feel an unusual aura. Why don't we go and see? That black shadow's strength is not that formidable, but he uses concealment techniques very well. If it weren't for the Glory Fruit improving our spiritual power, we wouldn't have sensed it."

"What? There is such a big thing. It seems the Martial Song Academy is not as peaceful as we imagined. Let's go and see who came to the Martial Song Academy."

Following the black shadow to the place where the academy students lived, they saw that the room should be the room of someone called Shangguan Lei, which left the two somewhat puzzled.

"Boss, this Shangguan Lei went out late at night. Could it be that something is going on? Being so secretive, he must have a ghost in his heart. We must observe him for a period of time."

"Hehe, there's nothing else recently. Let's follow Shangguan Lei for a period of time. Do you have Shangguan Lei's information? Let me look at it carefully."

Wan Wan Shitong took out a file. This file was found at a great cost. It contained the information of all students who returned from the Sin Prison to the academy, including Shangguan Lei's introduction.

Shangguan Lei's performance in the Sin Prison was commendable, and there were no mistakes, which made Chen Ang feel very puzzled.

"I feel there is a problem. This Shangguan Lei is definitely not simple."

"No way, Boss. Looking at Shangguan Lei's information, his character is indeed flawless. He is a very good genius, and the number of Demon Race he killed is not small."

"No, this is the biggest problem. A person will definitely have some flaws more or less, but this person is too perfect. I feel he is hiding something. There is nothing to do these two days, so let's follow Shangguan Lei. We should have other gains."

At first, Wan Wan Shitong was shocked by Chen Ang's analysis, but he had no choice as it was his boss. He agreed. The two lurked beside Shangguan Lei for three full days.

Shangguan Lei had no abnormalities until the fourth day. Shangguan Lei left the Martial Song Academy under the cover of night. Wan Wan Shitong, who was monitoring from the tree, hurriedly said, "Boss, Shangguan Lei is gone. Do we need to follow him? This is a specially made invisibility spell. After using it, you can hide your aura and cultivation. There is no aura at all. It is a one-time use and very rare."

"If you had such good stuff, you should have taken it out earlier. Let's follow and see. I always feel that things are not simple. Perhaps Shangguan Lei can lead us to find the answer. The wait for these two days is worth it."

The two used the invisibility spell to follow Shangguan Lei's aura and arrived at a cave. They saw Shangguan Lei and a man in black whispering there. They couldn't hear what they were saying because the distance was too far.

But they could clearly feel the aura of an evil cultivator on the man in black, which made the two feel a huge crisis. There must be a conspiracy. This is troublesome. Working from inside and outside will cause a huge impact.

"Boss, Shangguan Lei is actually in contact with evil cultivators. It looks like they are planning something. Why don't we go over and find a way to kill Shangguan Lei?"

"It's not worth it. What we should do is lure the snake out of the hole. I believe Shangguan Lei should be deliberately hiding something. Going out so openly and boldly will definitely arouse suspicion."

"Stay safely. Maybe there will be unexpected gains. Go back and tell Teacher Xing Tian to see how to solve it. Currently, the entire Martial Song Academy is somewhat dangerous."

"After Teacher Xing Tian comes out of seclusion, it will be particularly dangerous. To break the situation, we must find Teacher Xing Tian to solve it. Leave quietly now; don't startle the snake."

The evil cultivator and Shangguan Lei were talking in the cave. The evil cultivator took the lead and said, "We are preparing to launch a sneak attack on the Martial Song Academy. You are a student of the Martial Song Academy; you should have the obligation to help with the action."

"No, we are at a critical moment. If there is a sneak attack, it will definitely be related to the students returning to the academy."

"Remember, the entire Shangguan family serves the evil cultivators and the Demon Race. Don't be too presumptuous, otherwise, I will tell everyone about your collusion with the enemy. At that time, you will have no face left."

Shangguan Lei was particularly helpless and could only agree.

446: Heaven Thunder Cold Spear

The two went back and told Teacher Xing Tian about this matter. Teacher Xing Tian couldn't help but frown and said, "Fine, investigate and track this matter secretly first. This is my token. If you shatter it, I will come over to handle and solve this matter. You two brats, don't act without authorization."

"Once you discover and confirm it, communicate with me immediately. The aura of the evil cultivator is exceptionally terrifying. If you can solve it, that's best. If you can't, you must hand it over to me to handle."

Chen Ang said sternly, "Master, rest assured. This time I will definitely handle this matter carefully and cautiously. There won't be any trouble. If I really can't beat them, I'll shatter the token. With you here, there are no worries."

Teacher Xing Tian snorted, "Hmph, it's best if that's the case. Be careful; evil cultivators are not simple."

The two began to secretly monitor Shangguan Lei. A few days later, one night, they saw Shangguan Lei whispering with a group of men in black. The leader of the men in black was someone they had seen some time ago.

Wan Wan Shitong said, "Boss, how is it? Why don't we call Teacher Xing Tian over? So many evil cultivators launching an attack on the Martial Song Academy is fatal and particularly troublesome."

"Haha, let's go down and try first to see if their strength is strong. If they are not formidable, we can solve it ourselves without troubling Master. It just so happens that I have the idea of sparring with this genius Shangguan Lei."

When the evil cultivators were talking, the two walked over and said, "Shangguan Lei, you are a disciple of the Martial Song Academy. Isn't it somewhat inappropriate to collude with evil cultivators?"

"How can you say that I am colluding with evil cultivators? Since you have discovered our secret today, don't think about living. Killing you two is more than enough with so many people."

After saying this, a pile of Spirit Realm powerhouses began to attack. Chen Ang and Wan Wan Shitong also didn't show weakness. It had been a long time since they had such a refreshing fight.

The evil cultivator leader looked incredulous and couldn't help but ask, "Shangguan Lei, what did I tell you at the time? Usually, be careful and don't leave any evidence."

"Now it's good. Students of the Martial Song Academy have discovered the existence of evil cultivators. Tell me, what should be done about this matter?"

"My lord, believe me, this matter will be solved soon. Two low-tier Spirit Realm, they can't stir up big waves. These evil cultivator disciples can solve them."

Chen Ang fought for a period of time. Seeing more and more people, he directly shattered the token. Teacher Xing Tian appeared in front of everyone. Teacher Xing Tian's strength had reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, which made the evil cultivator leader very afraid.

While running, he shouted loudly, "I have been harmed miserably by you. Such powerful strength is definitely an old antique of the Martial Song Academy, even more terrifying than the Demon Lord's cultivation. Run quickly!"

Just as he wanted to escape, he was caught by Teacher Xing Tian, "Evil cultivators are truly bold and reckless, actually thinking of attacking the Martial Song Academy. If I don't kill all of you today, my name is not Xing Tian."

Using only one move, except for the leader, all the remaining evil cultivators were killed cleanly, leaving only Shangguan Lei and the heavily injured leader evil cultivator.

Teacher Xing Tian said to Chen Ang, "This time you have some conscience and didn't make too big a mistake. You say, how should Shangguan Lei be solved?"

"Master, if you ask me, just kill him directly. Keeping him is of no use. Someone like this who destroys the stability of the Martial Song Academy must not be given a chance to explain. Being soft-hearted will lead to a huge mistake."

Shangguan Lei said, "I'm not convinced. I want to have a fight with Chen Ang, using true strength, to see who is strong and who is weak. Dying so easily, I am particularly unwilling."

"Is that so? I also want to see how formidable the senior's strength is. Those who can collude with evil cultivators are not bad. You must not lose face."

Teacher Xing Tian couldn't help but persuade, "You brat, you must think clearly. Shangguan Lei is also a low-tier Spirit Realm, having fought hundreds of battles in the Sin Prison, with rich combat experience. If you really fight, you won't get any advantage."

"Master, it's fine. Believe me, if I can't even solve a Shangguan, how can I solve others? You say, right?"

After saying this, he erupted with his cultivation and began to attack. Shangguan Lei didn't hesitate either, took out his weapon, the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear, and began to launch attacks continuously.

Chen Ang's Array-Breaking Qilin Spear seemed to be suppressed in front of the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear, and he was beaten back repeatedly, which left Chen Ang very puzzled.

Wan Wan Shitong, who was on the side, instructed, "Boss, this Heaven Thunder Cold Spear is a growth divine weapon of the Shangguan family. It is rumored to be the ancestral treasure of the Shangguan family."

"This person also has some relationship with Shangguan Canyue; she counts as a cousin. Originally, the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear was to be left to Shangguan Canyue, but because it was not suitable, it ended up in Shangguan Lei's hands. He is a very formidable and difficult opponent. Be very careful."

Chen Ang said unexpectedly, "You are Shangguan Canyue's relative. I really didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest this time. Tell me, does the Shangguan family have any connection with this matter?"

Knowing that the matter had been exposed, he must not implicate the Shangguan family. Once the critical matter erupted, it would be difficult to solve. He must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

He erupted with full cultivation and attacked continuously, ignoring Chen Ang. The Heaven Thunder Cold Spear weapon was very terrifying, and every move carried a thunder attack, continuously paralyzing Chen Ang.

With the help of the Cold Dragon Spear Art, he could solve part of the danger, but in front of a true powerhouse, he was still somewhat powerless.

Anxiously wanting to find an entrance for a breakthrough, he was scratched on his right leg by Shangguan Lei. He was very angry and wanted to end the battle quickly, but was awakened by Teacher Xing Tian's words.

"You brat, be calm when doing things. Don't be affected just because the enemy is strong. You must do yourself well. A true powerhouse must learn to face all difficulties."

Chen Ang began to calm down and continuously fought Shangguan Lei with his life. In this situation, he must be more fearless of death than Shangguan Lei, otherwise, if he lost in terms of momentum, it would be difficult to win.

Finally finding a very good opportunity, he successfully defeated Shangguan Lei. He didn't choose to kill him and asked, "The matter I asked you just now, you must give an answer. Does this matter have anything to do with the Shangguan family?"

"If you make it clear, I will leave you a way out. Otherwise, you know the methods of the Martial Song Academy; I will torture you until you are worse than dead."

"I did this matter. One person does the work, one person takes the responsibility. It has nothing to do with the family. If the Martial Song Academy wants to use this title to suppress the family, I am very willing. I just want to see if you have the guts."

Teacher Xing Tian walked over and said, "Fine, Wan Wan Shitong, take this evil cultivator leader and Shangguan Lei down. We'll talk about the rest later."

"As for this Heaven Thunder Cold Spear, what is your opinion, disciple?"

"Master, I think it's safer to hand over the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear to the Shangguan family. It is an ancestral plant. I am quite tempted, but if I really get it, it will definitely have an impact. It's completely not worth it."

447: No Clue

Taking the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear, he arrived at the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family head saw this situation and couldn't help but say, "What's going on with you two? Coming to the Shangguan family so openly is somewhat inappropriate, right?"

Wan Wan Shitong took the lead and said, "Calling you Uncle Shangguan is giving you face. You should recognize this Heaven Thunder Cold Spear, right?"

"I recognize it, how can I not recognize it? It is the weapon of our family's disciple Shangguan. Is there any problem?"

"Shangguan Lei is suspected of colluding with evil cultivators and has been caught by the teachers of the Martial Song Academy. I want to ask what your opinion is on this matter?"

Shangguan Lei frowned and said, "That's impossible, nephew. Did you make a mistake? Shangguan Lei performs very well and is very active and excellent in the Shangguan family. He never had any intention of colluding with evil cultivators. It should be a frame-up."

"Shangguan family head, the evidence is all here. Is there any use in saying too much? I came today for nothing else, just to hand over the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear to you. As for the others, I am embarrassed to say anything more."

"Alas, the matter of Shangguan Canyue last time was the Shangguan family's fault. If you hold a grudge against the Shangguan family because of this matter, I have nothing to say. Why implicate us this time? Do you really think the Shangguan family has no one?"

He said strictly, "Hmph, you don't put me in your eyes. This matter must be taken to the Martial Song Academy to be made clear with the Old Dean. Otherwise, where will the face of the Shangguan family be?"

Chen Ang didn't want to make things big either and said, "Shangguan Lei was discovered in the Martial Song Academy. Why don't you go and see? This matter is indeed true. I hope you can think rationally."

Seeing the faint aura of evil cultivators emanating from the Heaven Thunder Cold Spear, he knew that the matter had been exposed and had to find a way to make up for it.

"This time it was wrong to blame you. Shangguan Lei's life and death will be decided by the Martial Song Academy. I will give the Martial Song Academy a certain amount of compensation. For the reckless action just now, I hope you can understand."

Chen Ang felt there was no problem and said, "No need to be so troublesome. This thing originally belonged to the Shangguan family. It is only natural. I hope you can pay attention next time."

"The matter of Shangguan Canyue harming me was within the rules. I hope you can understand. I really have to maintain the dignity of the Martial Song Academy."
