Chapter 550: Stupid?

~9 min read 1,651 words

After listening to Xuanyi's impassioned words.

Yunhan no longer possessed the composed, masterful demeanor he had before.

His heart was somewhat in turmoil.

Before he came, he had clearly performed divination.

The hexagram indicated that everything would be incomparably smooth.

But why had so many accidents occurred?

First, he prepared an ambush, only to be ferreted out by a junior named Wang Jianqiang.

Then, Wang Jianqiang refused to surrender, his attitude unexpectedly tough.

Afterwards, even an Instructor from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace appeared.

This was simply one obstacle after another; where was there the slightest sign of things going smoothly?

Why had his Astrology, which had always been infallible, suddenly become inaccurate?

He looked at Xuanyi, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Are you an Instructor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?"

"What? You don't believe me?"

Xuanyi smiled lightly and casually took out an Identity Token.

Seeing the Identity Token in Xuanyi's hand, Yunhan's heart sank.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor token contained a unique power that could not be replicated.

The Star Palace was no small force; as a Star Palace Elder, he had at least that much discernment, so how could he not recognize it?

This person...

Was truly an Instructor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace!

His heart sank completely to the bottom.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace never participated in any conflicts.

The duties of an Instructor were merely to be responsible for the daily operations of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

There had never been a case where an Instructor was specifically assigned to escort a student.

Therefore.

Even though he had guessed that Wang Jianqiang might be accompanied by an expert on this trip, he had never associated it with an Instructor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

That was why he had unscrupulously said those words earlier.

Who could have imagined.

That the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace had gone mad.

Actually breaking precedent to let an Instructor act as a bodyguard for a student, following in secret!

He dared to kill a Great Wilderness Immortal Palace student, but he did not dare to easily move against an Instructor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

Although both would incite the retaliation of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The intensity of the retaliation was completely different.

What's more.

This person's cultivation was the same as his; relying only on himself, he had no confidence in being able to keep the other party here.

Thinking of this.

He did not act rashly, and a smile appeared on his face, "Daoist Friend, Yun's previous words were merely lies fabricated in a moment of impulse to scare people."

"The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace cultivates the younger generation for all forces without charge, and my Star Palace has also benefited greatly; we are too grateful to even express it, so how could we commit such an act of rebellion?"

"Lies?"

Just then, Wang Jianqiang suddenly curled his lips, "Then what about the killing intent you just had towards me?"

"If you didn't have a prior record, why did your killing intent not diminish in the slightest after learning I am a Great Wilderness Immortal Palace student?"

Yunhan's expression stalled, and he explained to Xuanyi.

"Daoist Friend, this brat dared to enslave a Great Star Envoy of my Star Palace; I was just too angry and lost my reason."

"Lost your reason?"

Xuanyi glanced at Yunhan, "Fine, let's assume you lost your reason, and since you did not cause any damage to Wang Jianqiang, this matter ends here."

Upon hearing this, Yunhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment.

Xuanyi's voice came again, "However, my Great Wilderness Immortal Palace has always valued the safety of its students; the matter you mentioned earlier about having killed Great Wilderness Immortal Palace students cannot be brushed aside with just a lie."

"I will report this matter to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and let the high-level officials of the Immortal Palace decide."

Hearing Xuanyi's words, Yunhan's brows immediately furrowed tightly, "Daoist Friend, not to mention whether my words just now were true or false, even if my Star Palace had really killed your Great Wilderness Immortal Palace students."

"So much time has passed, you would have long since been unable to find the slightest evidence, so why must you be so persistent?"

"Who said there is no evidence?"

Just as his voice fell, a voice suddenly came.

He frowned and looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Then he saw Wang Jianqiang smiling as he took out several Image Recording Stones.

Inside the Image Recording Stones, the same scene played repeatedly.

"Brat, you are too naive."

"You are merely a mere Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator; if I want to kill you, it is easy."

"If the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace wants to pursue this, they must be able to find evidence."

"The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace is indeed very strong, but if there is no evidence, what can they do to my Star Palace?"

"In the past, it's not as if my Star Palace hasn't killed Great Wilderness Immortal Palace students, and didn't it all just end up with nothing done?"

"If you do not know what is good for you, your end will be the same."

Listening to the arrogant voice coming from the Image Recording Stone, and looking at that face in the Image Recording Stone that was curled in a sneer, as if everything was being masterminded and held firmly in the palm of their hand.

Yunhan's expression stiffened, and a burning sensation suddenly felt on his face.

Immediately, a look of shame and annoyance appeared.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his gaze icy cold, "You little bastard really can jump around, can't you!"

Once this Image Recording Stone was sent back to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace would have sufficient reason to capture him back.

Then, they would find a way to perform Soul Searching on him, thereby obtaining the memory of the Star Palace slaughtering the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Student.

By then.

Not only would he die.

The Star Palace would also face the crisis of annihilation!

Thinking of this.

Killing intent surged within him once more.

As for the current plan.

To save his own life and save the Star Palace.

The only way was to kill both Wang Jianqiang and this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor!

Although it was somewhat risky.

But since things had reached this point, he could no longer care about anything else!

"What? Want to make a move?"

After Xuanyi sensed the killing intent on Yunhan, his expression became grave.

Yunhan looked at Xuanyi and said coldly, "Originally, you had a chance to survive, but since you are hounding me relentlessly."

"Then I can only leave you here in this Ancient Star Domain for good."

Xuanyi's expression was grave as he let out a cold snort.

"Leave me here?"

"If you have the ability, just come and try."

As soon as the words fell.

The two of them charged into the air simultaneously.

Immediately.

Two figures carrying vast Spiritual Power like an ocean began to collide continuously.

In a battle at the Integration Stage level, every move and stance could erupt with power as mighty as the heavens.

Even just the aftermath was enough to make ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators tremble with fear.

However.

Wang Jianqiang, watching the evenly matched battle in the air, could not help but feel a bit weary.

He did not know what kind of special hobby this Xuanyi had.

Why he liked to pretend to be weak so much.

It would be one thing for a dignified Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator to trade blows back and forth with an Integration Stage Cultivator.

But he had to make his expression so realistic.

Sometimes grave, sometimes flickering, sometimes sharp...

It was as if he were truly fighting to the death with an evenly matched opponent.

Does this guy have a performative personality?

Wang Jianqiang could not help but secretly complain in his heart.

Boom!

Amidst a violent explosion.

Both figures flew back over a hundred zhang simultaneously.

Yunhan wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xuanyi, his expression becoming grave as never before.

"As expected of an Instructor from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, your strength is truly powerful!"

Xuanyi also looked at Yunhan with a grave expression, wiped the blood from the corner of his own mouth, and said gravely, "You are not bad either."

Yunhan let out a cold snort.

He charged out in an instant.

The great battle erupted once again.

Yunhan seemed to have gone mad, beginning to use a fighting style of trading injury for injury.

The injuries on both of their bodies were constantly stacking up.

At a certain moment.

After a booming sound.

The two retreated separately.

At this moment.

Both of their injuries had reached an extremely severe degree.

Their auras were weak, and their faces were extremely pale.

Yunhan looked toward Xuanyi, and on the face that had been filled with madness a moment ago, a trace of mockery suddenly appeared.

"Heh, an Instructor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace? How truly foolish!"

"You don't actually think I only used this 'injury-for-injury' fighting style because I lost my mind, do you?"

As soon as the words fell.

He formed a seal with both hands.

"Star Creation Divine Light!"

Following a low shout, endless stars manifested in the sky; even in the middle of this day, nothing could conceal those dazzling stars.

Endless starlight spilled down.

It gathered upon Yunhan.

A moment later.

The stars in the sky dispersed.

The silver starlight faded away.

Yunhan's figure reappeared.

He looked at his own body.

The injuries remained, and his aura was still just as weak.

It had not recovered in the slightest!

"How is this possible!"
