Chapter 288: Where Is My Opportunity?

"What kind of monster dares to come to my Hundred Saints..."

Seeing such a massive display, the old man's expression changed abruptly, his aura erupting; he was clearly at the Dharma Aspect Peak. But when he saw the figure of Yu Fuhai, he was instantly stunned.

"Yu... Half-Saint Yu!"

The old man spat out the three words with a stutter, his heart sinking. What was going on? Why wasn't this old dog Yu dead yet? Wasn't it said that his time was running out and he was beyond medical help!

His outward expression shifted instantly, becoming extremely joyful.

"Congratulations to Half-Saint Yu for living another life and returning against the heavens."

He bowed deeply to Yu Fuhai.

Those academy students who had thought a monster was causing trouble and were filled with righteous indignation were also stunned; it was actually that old dog Yu. How was he not dead yet, and why did he look like he was living perfectly well!

Hearing this, Yu Fuhai sneered and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Heh, so my living another life is called 'against the heavens'?"

"It seems you all really don't want me to live!"

The old man was too frightened to reply, remaining silent in response.

Seeing this, Yu Fuhai shook his head in anger, but there was nothing he could do; this was the Hundred Saints Academy, a place where various schools of thought flourished, and he could not simply go on a killing spree like other factions.

He looked at Li Heng with some apology and spoke.

"I have let the senior see a joke; it is the misfortune of the academy."

Li Heng's expression showed little ripple, and he spoke calmly, "In the sensing of Qi, the person who intercepted and killed you is approaching."

Hearing this, Yu Fuhai was taken aback, then flew into a towering rage.

Failing to assassinate him was one thing, but not tucking his tail between his legs and instead appearing so brazenly—did he really think he, Yu Fuhai, was already dead? Did he want to try assassinating him again?

"Old Yu, why must you have such a temper?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from all directions, and a hunched figure tore through the Void and appeared before the two; it was an old man with white hair and beard.

"Actually, you cannot blame them; after all, you left behind a last will and testament when you departed, and the Pollution you suffered was more severe than anyone else's. Therefore, no one would think you could return alive."

Hearing this, Yu Fuhai's expression turned ugly.

"Great Libationer, what do you mean by this! Do not think that because you are a disciple of Zhu Zi, I would not dare to strike you!"

The Great Libationer chuckled upon hearing this.

"I am merely speaking the truth, though since you have returned, it is a good thing. However, Pollution is always Weird; to think a Half-Saint could resolve this matter of Pollution and successfully extend their life? I wonder what good method the Half-Saint has?"

Yu Fuhai snorted coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

"The Half-Saint jokes; I only wish to ask the Half-Saint to reveal this method, to proclaim it to the world and bless the masses, and I happen to be one of the ten thousand spirits." The Great Libationer smiled slightly.

"Also, who is this fellow Daoist?"

He looked at Li Heng again, revealing a look of surprise.

Li Heng's expression was calm.

"You and I have met long ago, why the pretense?"

Hearing this, the Great Libationer's expression jolted.

"What does the fellow Daoist mean by this!"

Li Heng smiled lightly; he opened his palm, and a wisp of Qi swirled above it. "Is this your thing?"

Instantly, a monstrous wave surged in the Great Libationer's heart.

This was actually his Qi; how could this be? Impossible!

When he intercepted and killed Yu Fuhai back then, he had used his teacher's secret technique, which no one under Heaven could see through. Why had this person managed to capture the Qi and expose the flaw?

"I do not recognize it."

Slightly suppressing the agitation in his heart, the Great Libationer said calmly.

Yu Fuhai was only stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses and compared the wisp of Qi in Li Heng's hand with the aura of the Great Libationer, he flew into a towering rage. "Very well, so it was you, this old fellow, who intercepted and killed me!"

He immediately pressed his palm down, wanting to Town and kill the Great Libationer.

The Great Libationer's expression changed, and he spat out one word.

"Reason"!

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles changed instantly, connecting into a "Reason" character, colliding with Yu Fuhai's palm.

Crack!

The "Reason" character was shattered by Yu Fuhai's palm, and the Heaven and Earth Principles dissipated. However, the Great Libationer took the opportunity to put some distance between himself and Yu Fuhai.

The Great Libationer's expression was gloomy, and he cursed inwardly.

Damn martial artist!

"Half-Saint Yu, what is the meaning of this!"

He rebuked Yu Fuhai angrily.

"Although you are a noble Half-Saint, you cannot strike the Great Libationer of the academy. Do you wish to break the rules and be stripped of your Half-Saint position!"

"Is there not a rule in the academy that says whoever strikes a Half-Saint shall die!?" Yu Fuhai was extremely furious; he had not wanted to suspect him, but now he had no choice but to believe it.

"I have never struck a Half-Saint."

"The Half-Saint must not be deceived by a monster."

The Great Libationer spoke calmly, his eyes glancing at Li Heng, his words seemingly pointing at something. Compared to this brute Yu Fuhai, this damned mysterious person was the one he hated most!

If it weren't for this person suddenly popping up and protecting Yu Fuhai.

Otherwise, Yu Fuhai would have long since been intercepted and killed by him.

"Very well, worthy of being a disciple of Zhu Zi, very good at turning black into white!" Yu Fuhai laughed out of anger; if he didn't beat this old scoundrel to death today, he wouldn't need to be surnamed Yu.

His figure flashed, closing in to launch a great battle.

The Great Libationer's expression changed drastically, and he could only helplessly receive the moves. Every time he collided with Yu Fuhai, he secretly lamented in his heart. What was going on? Wasn't this old dog Yu terminally ill? Even if he temporarily suppressed the Pollution, his combat power should have plummeted significantly, right?

But why does it feel like his combat power hasn't declined at all?

Yu Fuhai sent the Grand Libationer flying with a single punch, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Grand Libationer roared in anger, "Yu Fuhai, what exactly are you trying to do? Killing each other? Making a laughingstock of ourselves for outsiders and the students of the Academy to see?!"

"Heh, and so what? I just want to beat you to death!"

Yu Fuhai did not stop his offensive in the slightest.

In a certain part of the Academy, within the courtyard where guests were accommodated.

Xiao Hao and Li Jushi were together, watching the great battle between Yu Fuhai and the Grand Libationer in the sky, and were instantly dumbfounded.

What kind of scene is this supposed to be?

This sort of thing didn't appear in his memories, did it?

And... Yu Fuhai? Why does this name sound a bit familiar?

Wait, a bolt of lightning flashed through Xiao Hao's mind, splitting the chaos in his heart and also striking his brain. Isn't this the name of that fallen Half-Saint! But isn't this Half-Saint already dead? How is he still alive now?

Xiao Hao was completely stunned.

In the original historical trajectory, this Half-Saint Yu died, and the Hundred Saints Academy once again had a vacancy for the position of a Half-Saint, which in turn led to the opening of a Secret Realm within the Hundred Saints Academy.

Great opportunities were hidden within that Secret Realm.

But now, this Half-Saint Yu is not dead; doesn't that mean the Secret Realm won't open? If the Secret Realm doesn't open, where will the great opportunities come from?

He stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

Beside him, Li Jushi saw this and felt somewhat worried.

What is going on?

This Heir, this Anomaly, why has he suddenly become like this? Could it be that his brain was struck by lightning?

He looked up at the sky above, feeling somewhat puzzled.

That figure... seems to be Li Jushi?
