Chapter 421: You say this is a person about to die?

Eastern Literature Academy, called an academy, is actually more like a prosperous city, claimed to have a million students.

Unlike ordinary Sects, Sect recruits disciples, disciples bow into the Sect, and once successful, it's a lifelong matter.

Eastern Literature Academy also teaches students Xiūliàn, but after a certain age limit, these students will leave the academy and go to various places in Dongzhou to establish their own colleges.

Moreover, Confucian cultivators love to go to various great dynasties to enter officialdom, and the great dynasties also love Confucian cultivators.

Firstly, they are strong in strength; secondly, Confucian cultivators differ from other cultivators, not simply obsessed with Xiūliàn.

Therefore, the Confucian Holy City where Eastern Literature Academy is located can be said to be extremely prosperous.

At this moment outside the city, the strong ones of Qing Yun Sect, including two Great Saint elders, have already taken up their positions in readiness.

Meanwhile, on the distant horizon, gradually, a vast black mass of beasts continually approaches.

Some of the demonic beasts even have numerous Dao Yi Sect disciples riding on them.

"Ready."

Chen Qingyu whispered, to prevent the Dao Yi Sect from suddenly attacking.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and the others also saw Chen Qingyu and them, and at this moment they spoke with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing? Did you come out specially to welcome us?"

"Could Chen Qingyu be that kind-hearted? He must be hiding something bad."

Hong Zun snorted disdainfully, they're all thousand-year-old foxes, what's there to play at strange tales?

Qi Xiong also didn't believe it, but still spoke up to warn.

"Don't cause trouble."

"Got it."

Qi Xiong's character is just like that; as one of the four great sects, others don't offend the Dao Yi Sect, and he won't actively provoke them either.

Over a hundred thousand demonic beasts slowly approached outside the Confucian Holy City, a black mass like dark clouds covering the sun.

The two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, and Qi Xiong actively smiled and said.

"Senior, Brother Qingyu."

His attitude was very friendly, but seeing this, Chen Qingyu replied with full vigilance.

"Brother Qi, you've come all the way to the Confucian Holy City, and yet you make such a grand show—this is..............."

"Brother Qingyu misunderstood; I just happened to meet my junior fellows traveling outside, and coincidentally the Eastern Literature Poetry Meeting started, I had nothing to do, so I came to join the fun."

Upon hearing that, Chen Qingyu gave a look saying "Do you think I'm an idiot?", and glanced at the tens of thousands of Dao Yi Sect strong ones, disciples, and those over a hundred thousand demonic beasts behind Brother Qi.

He revealed a slight contemptuous smile.

"Qi Xiong, Qi Xiong, do you really think I, Chen Qingyu, am a three-year-old? Who brings tens of thousands of people plus over a hundred thousand Shòuchǒng just to join the fun?"

"Are you joining the fun, or are you yourself the fun?"

But the two elders earlier said, if possible avoid fighting to the death, so Chen Qingyu remained calm on the surface.

"Brother Qi, this fun you've joined actually opened my eyes."

"Hehe, there are just a few more people."

In response, Qi Xiong gave an embarrassed smile, while Chen Qingyu curled his lip.

"And there are not few Shòuchǒng either."

"Hehe."

As the two spoke, Yu Mo and the two others also stepped forward, but their gazes were directed at the two elders of Qing Yun Sect.

"You two old immortals, what are you coming out to do?"

Until now, Yu Mo and the two others still haven't figured out what these two old immortals are up to; looking at the deathly aura surrounding them, they haven't got many years left, yet they don't go rest properly.

In contrast, the two elders of Qing Yun Sect, looking at Yu Mo and the two others, have extremely complex expressions.

The deathly aura around them is far weaker than theirs; damn, you're telling me their lifespan is near its end?

They look like they can live even longer than those two.

Chen Qingyu glared angrily, you little brat, are you doing this on purpose? Have you ever seen a dying person with such a ruddy complexion?

Qi Xiong and the others showed no hostility, and neither did Yu Mo and the two others.

Even upon seeing the two elders of Qing Yun Sect, Yu Mo and the two others wore looks of lament.

Look, this is what happens when you don't have enough to eat; alas, Qing Yun Sect is just lacking a good cook.

However, Ye Zhangqing's matter definitely cannot be exposed; even our own household doesn't have enough to eat, only a fool would share it with others.

After a meaningless exchange of pleasantries, eventually Qi Xiong and the others temporarily settled outside the Confucian Holy City.

Anyway, there's a Spirit City, so we don't need to enter the city; we can go in when the Eastern Literature Poetry Meeting starts, no problem.

This operation again left Chen Qingyu bewildered.

"Not enter the city? What kind of operation is this? Isn't the Dao Yi Sect supposed to attack our Qing Yun Sect?"

But facing this situation, plus our own elders unwilling to fight the Dao Yi Sect to the death, in the end we could only temporarily do this.

Chen Qingyu naturally didn't expect that the reason for not entering the city was simply because it's troublesome.

After all, with tens of thousands of people plus over a hundred thousand Shòuchǒng, where would we stay if we entered the city? People can be accommodated, but what about the Shòuchǒng?

"Secretly monitor them, don't get too close, be careful not to be discovered by Yu Mo and them."

Leave two Shèngjìng Elders to secretly monitor Qi Xiong and the others, while the rest return to the city.

Returning to the city, inside the main hall, the two elders looked at Chen Qingyu with some doubt.

"Did you figure it out or not? Are you sure Yu Mo and the two others are really going to die?"

From previous contact, Yu Mo and the two others don't look like people who are going to die at all; in fact, they even feel like they're getting younger the longer they live.

This is outrageous; didn't you say they had problems?

Upon hearing that, Chen Qingyu also couldn't give an answer; he didn't know either, and just then an Elder beside him spoke up to speculate.

"Ancestor, do you think they might have used a forbidden technique? That's why they look like this, but in reality they're already at the end of their strength."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, everyone present's eyes lit up; indeed, it's quite possible.

"Ancestor, it's probably exactly that."

Chen Qingyu said with a confident expression.

The two ancestors also showed thoughtful expressions, not ruling out this possibility; after thinking, one of them spoke up.

"The Dao Yi Sect hasn't shown any hostility lately......"

"Ancestor, this must be Qi Xiong's scheme; I used to think he was an honest person, but over the past year I've realized his honesty is just a facade—he's actually black-hearted and vicious, a truly treacherous villain."

"Right now, the Dao Yi Sect not showing hostility is surely to let us lower our guard; perhaps seeing you ancestors present, they dare not act, wanting to wait until you continue your closed-door meditation before striking."

Originally, seeing the Dao Yi Sect like this, the two ancestors planned to return to the sect to continue their closed-door meditation; after all, their lifespans are limited, they can't afford to waste them.

But upon hearing Chen Qingyu's words, the two became indecisive.

Yeah, if the Dao Yi Sect really attacked while they were returning to the sect to enter closed-door meditation, how could Chen Qingyu and the others defend themselves?

On one hand, their lifespans; on the other, the possibility of a sudden strike by the Dao Yi Sect—the two ancestors hesitated.

"Are you sure Qi Xiong would do that?"

"Certainly; Su Luoxing is also a notable figure, but in Qi Xiong's hands, he's always been schemed against, utterly powerless to retaliate."

"Su Luoxing's lesson is right before our eyes; my Qing Yun Sect must not follow in his footsteps."

Chen Qingyu said firmly; upon this, the two ancestors exchanged a glance and then nodded.

"Alright, then we two will stay temporarily to guard against the Dao Yi Sect's movements."

"Ancestor, you are wise."
