Chapter 664: Things That Should Have Happened

Leave the school?

A trace of surprise appeared in Lu Jianxia's eyes, and then she wrote down a few words:

【How to leave?】

Chen Yan pondered slightly:

【Help me record the teachers' dormitory inspection routes.】

Within the school, there was already no way out.

Chen Yan's only way out now was still outside the school.

Inside the pitch-black bananas in the infirmary, there was vast Qi-blood energy contained, but these energies had a source.

The roots of all the bananas spread from outside the school.

Energy cannot disappear out of thin air, nor can it be created out of thin air.

It can only be transformed from one form into another, or transferred from one object to another.

This is the most basic knowledge.

Last night, Chen Yan had already recorded in detail the times of the teachers' dormitory inspections and the security guards' patrols.

But it was not comprehensive.

Chen Yan had never left the dormitory, so he had no idea what the dormitory inspection teachers' movement patterns were actually like.

Because, he was only one person.

But Lu Jianxia's side had already found most of the Five Clans' Creation Realms.

Every person stayed in their own dormitory; although they could not go out, they could judge the inspection teachers' movement patterns by the sound of their footsteps, after everyone compiled the data the next day.

This task could not be done by the Great Xia Creation Realm alone.

It required all Creation Realms to record it.

The more data recorded, the more things Chen Yan could analyze.

Since he could not obtain enough Qi-blood energy within the school.

Why shouldn't Chen Yan go outside the school to look?

Even if he could only give birth to a Qi-blood Path Self-Universe, Chen Yan could still obtain new life-and-death aura by destroying the Qi-blood Path Self-Universe to achieve reincarnation.

As for the True Martial Path Self-Universe, he could wait until Chen Yan tempered his physical body and gave birth to a Hard-Refining Path Self-Universe before merging it with the Qi-blood Path Self-Universe.

Lu Jianxia gazed at Chen Yan's profile and wrote:

【No, it's too dangerous.】

Chen Yan's expression was calm:

【If I encounter danger, I will do my best to pass the information I know to you all.】

As Chen Yan wrote this line, the look in Lu Jianxia's eyes changed completely.

It was just one sentence, but she could feel the power contained within the heart of this desk-mate of hers.

She gazed deeply at Chen Yan and nodded.

A smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

How could such a person be Chen Yan?

The other party wanting to take such a risk was merely to open up a path of survival for the Five Clans.

During the lunch break.

Chen Yan found Shen Yiwei and stated his plan.

"You want to leave the school?" Shen Yiwei's expression also turned somewhat ugly.

It was too dangerous.

But this thought only lasted for an instant, and Shen Yiwei continued:

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need," Chen Yan said:

"To leave the school, one must avoid the inspecting teachers and patrolling security guards.

And I must return before the inspection teacher's second round of checks."

Chen Yan's gaze sank.

The time between each of the inspection teachers' rounds was two hours.

Even if Chen Yan took the opportunity to leave, he had to return to the dormitory within two hours.

"I understand. I will notify everyone, then calculate the exact times of the inspections and patrols, as well as the movement routes of the security guards and teachers," Shen Yiwei said:

"It's a pity there's no record from the first day."

"I have the record from the first day, but it only recorded the time," Chen Yan said.

Only with multiple verifications could one determine if the teachers' and security guards' inspections and patrols followed a specific pattern.

But now, Chen Yan simply did not have many opportunities for verification.

Twice would be enough.

Soon, several people arrived.

One of them had extremely unsteady footsteps and was still cursing under their breath.

Upon seeing Chen Yan, the other party gave a sheepish laugh:

"Chen Yan."

Shen Yiwei looked at the other person and said to Chen Yan:

"Jiang Yuan has already cultivated one layer of Self-Universe. After transcribing it yesterday, he completely lost his power.

Today, it was Xia Long who handed him a pre-written copy, which is how he managed to muddle through."

When Jiang Yuan entered the Five Clans Conflict, he was only at the peak of the Sixth Order.

His aptitude was superb, and after receiving the reward from the Master of Elements in the Ancient War Palace, he gave birth to his first personal universe.

However, during yesterday's dictation, all of Jiang Yuan's power completely vanished.

Jiang Yuan gave a bitter smile and looked at Chen Yan:

"Chen Changyuan is doing better and better; your position is about to be lost."

Chen Yan nodded.

The other few Great Xia Creation Realm experts also had ugly expressions.

Shen Yiwei introduced them one by one:

"This is Xia Long, the father of the nation-ruler Xia Yiyi, this is Xia Xing..."

Chen Yan nodded to everyone one by one.

This was so that Lu Jianxia and the others would not be suspicious.

Not all of the Great Xia Creation Realm experts came to see Chen Yan.

Xia Long, Xia Xing, and the others looked at Chen Yan and nodded in acknowledgment.

A Great Xia Creation Realm expert looked at Chen Yan, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, he was pulled back by Xia Long.

Xia Long shook his head at that person.

That person was named Luo Wuji, and he was sixth on the Creation Realm Ranking, with a higher rank than even Chi Xue.

Before entering the Five Clans Conflict, Luo Wuji could have directly suppressed Chen Yan with one hand.

Now, here, he was like withered grass that would fall at a single blow, and the only person who could think to help him was actually Chen Yan.

It wasn't exactly helping him, Luo Wuji.

It was that now, many Great Xia Creation Realm experts only had two or three personal universes.

Two days ago, everyone could still use advance preparation to have those with more personal universes perform dictation for others to block a calamity.

But it wouldn't work on the third day.

Take Jiang Yuan for example; now that he had no power of his own, Xia Long could help Jiang Yuan today.

But what about tomorrow?

In order to help others, Xia Long himself now only had two personal universes left.

Luo Wuji looked at Jiang Yuan with a bitter smile.

Yet he saw that Jiang Yuan was smiling, not caring at all.

When it came to matters of great principle, Jiang Yuan still understood the situation clearly.

It was already not easy for Chen Yan to have made it this far; how could he still have the ability to help others?

Sometimes, even in death, a calm death is far better than a fearful one.

Xia Long had the same thought.

That was why he stopped Luo Wuji.

"This is what I wrote; everyone use it tomorrow."

Chen Yan's voice suddenly rang out.

A stack of dictated papers was taken out by Chen Yan, with malice overflowing from them.

This was poetry written using malice.

"Is this okay?" Xia Long was stunned.

"It is." Chen Yan nodded:

"This illusion world is itself constructed from malice and Eighth Order power.

By using malice to write, you can temporarily make this world believe you are a part of the rules."

A hint of a smile appeared in the eyes of Xia Long and the others.

If that was the case, then many people could be saved.

"But this certainly won't work forever; once or twice is fine, but more will make the entire illusion world alert."

Chen Yan waved one hand, and wisps of life-and-death aura emerged, transforming into a pitch-black ball of light that flew into Xia Long's hand.

"If there is a crisis, use this strand of Eighth Order power; the combination of Eighth Order power and malice can better deceive the illusion world."

Xia Long was dumbfounded.

Shen Yiwei also furrowed his brows, while Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

Eighth Order power combined with malice?

This, they could actually understand.

But the problem was, where exactly did this Eighth Order power come from?

Was Chen Yan Eighth Order?

That's ridiculous.

Yet that was exactly what happened; Chen Yan had unleashed Eighth Order power.

"I won't explain the rest of the matters, and there is no time to explain now.

Senior Xia Long." Chen Yan looked at Xia Long and said.

"Just call me Little Xia." Xia Long gave a sheepish laugh.

His usual majesty and dominance had all vanished.

Little Xia.

In front of Chen Yan, he was just Little Xia.

Chen Yan gave a faint smile:

"Distribute these privately; also, Zhang Chao, you should hand some out to Yu Ming, Yu Cheng, and the others as well."

Zhang Chao nodded; he had actually known for a long time that Chen Yan possessed the Breath of Life and Death.

But he had not expected that Chen Yan could use it so casually.

The emotions of the crowd were surging incessantly.

The look in their eyes as they gazed at Chen Yan also changed in an instant.

Chen Yan conversed with the group for a while longer.

He also learned about the situation with the other classes.

Yu Qing of the Yu Clan had died on the very first day.

The other party was a technological genius, but also a mortal.

In the face of powerful Ancient Divine Beasts, even the most gifted person became nothing more than a pig or a dog.

On the side of the Great Xia, five people had also died in succession.

On the side of the Five Clans, the number of people who died was slightly higher.

Eight people.

"Many people from the Five Clans have already gone to defect to Chen Changyuan; this man has the ambition of a wolf and is a three-surname slave—if I had known, I would have wiped him out from the very beginning!"

Xia Long's voice was low:

"Xia Hanzhou is not a man of his word; he actually let him live until now."

Although Xia Long was a descendant of Xia Hanzhou, he had no respect for Xia Hanzhou at all.

Shen Yiwei's expression was also extremely ugly.

"Chen Changyuan is too strange."

Chen Yan shook his head slightly.

The reason the Great Xia did not kill Chen Changyuan at the start was because Xia Hanzhou wanted to go fishing, with Zhang Ting serving as the key point.

Fishing for whom?

The Chen Lord.

Xia Hanzhou had sensed very early on that there might be some connection between Chen Changyuan and the Chen Lord.

Therefore, he ordered Zhang Ting to let the Aristocratic Family Alliance develop and allow Chen Changyuan to grow.

If not for Chen Yan.

Zhang Ting would have always kept Chen Changyuan in check from the outside, while Jiang Yuan would have always monitored Chen Changyuan from the inside.

When Chen Changyuan advanced to the Creation Realm, Xia Hanzhou would have made his move.

He would have used Chen Changyuan to lure out the Chen Lord.

This is also why.

When Bing Yi wanted to call upon others to wipe out Chen Changyuan on Ten Thousand Phases Island, Chen Yunyou, the son of the Chen Lord, would step in to save Chen Changyuan.

It is also why, even though Chen Changyuan was just a villain who betrayed them twice, the Chen Prefecture would still accept him, then give him a massive opportunity, allowing him to grow rapidly.

Chen Changyuan appeared to be just a collateral branch of the Chen Clan, but in reality, there was a reason the Chen Lord was forced to step in and save him.

Therefore, Xia Hanzhou wanted to use the sacrifices made by Qin Prefecture over many years to trade for a chance to lure the Chen Lord out.

The original plan was.

Chen Changyuan and Zhang Ting would keep each other in check for many years, competing for the position of the underground emperor of Qin Prefecture.

After all, what Zhang Ting had always displayed was a desire to monopolize power, even going so far as to split the Martial Administration's Military Guard for his own interests.

An ambitious man wanting to become the last of the feudal lords.

And Chen Changyuan, relying on the rise of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, grew stronger and stronger, constantly keeping Zhang Ting in check.

When Chen Changyuan advanced to the Creation Realm, Zhang Ting would make a move to wipe out Chen Changyuan.

And the Chen Lord, who was in the shadows, would definitely strike directly to suppress Zhang Ting.

At that moment, the Eighth-Order experts of the Great Xia like Xia Hanzhou would strike directly against the Chen Lord.

This was Xia Hanzhou's initial plan.

Xia Hanzhou himself had endured for many years, even sacrificing Shen Yiwei.

Zhang Ting had also endured humiliation and been cursed for many years.

All just to lure out the Chen Lord.

But the problem was, Chen Yan had risen.

Chen Yan rose too rapidly and was too powerful, overshadowing everyone else's brilliance.

He unified the morale of the Military Guard and suppressed the Aristocratic Family Alliance and Chen Changyuan.

Xia Qi, between Chen Yan and the Chen Lord, chose Chen Yan.

This also meant that all of Zhang Ting's years of enduring humiliation had been in vain.

Furthermore, because he acted too convincingly, he caused the death of his own disciple, Shi Ziqin.

By now, he could no longer clear his name.

Therefore, Zhang Ting had always been dissatisfied with Chen Yan in his heart.
