Chapter 648: Everyone Asked: Who Is Wangchuan Art Academy?

The cultivation progress on the 【Back-to-Life Blood Body】 is that terrifying?!

This was the only thought in Zhao Yan's mind right now.

He knew his own rapid progress was due to prior cultivation experience, yet even so, it would take him a long time to restore the 【Back-to-Life Blood Body】 to its peak.

"This talent is simply too terrifying."

Since he was unaware of the existence of the career panel, and did not know Li Ang possessed the 【Back-to-Life Blood Body】 enhanced by the 【Immortals】, Zhao Yan could only assume his new boss possessed extraordinarily terrifying talent.

Humans cannot imagine things beyond their comprehension—it is perfectly reasonable.

As Zhao Yan drifted in thought, the others present stared at the blood-red figure radiating terrifying energy, falling into silence.

Wangchuan Art Academy

What sect is Wangchuan Art Academy?

Upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao—or rather, Li Ang's self-introduction, Xiang Yuyin's face flickered with confusion.

Is there such a force in the Divine Ability world? Why has he never heard of it?

Not only had he never heard of it—he had never even seen any record of it within his sect.

But if this person is not the ancestral founder of Qianji Pavilion, then why did this Nameless One come? Could it truly be for those few youngsters of Sanzhenfa Sect?

As he pondered this, Xiang Yuyin subtly furrowed his brows.

Upon hearing the words "Wangchuan Art Academy," the Nameless One's expression shifted slightly.

It felt as though it had seen this name before, but could not recall where.

Yet unlike those present, the black-haired man at the opposite end of Tongyue Ling had frozen in place.

Tenth-generation head of Wangchuan Art Academy.

If he remembered correctly, Brother Yan was originally the ninth-generation head, right? Could this person be the successor Brother Yan, after becoming a Fa Shi, sought out to revive Wangchuan Art Academy?

But looking at the proficiency of this 【Back-to-Life Blood Body】...

Merely from the aura radiating from the blood-red figure, the black-haired man felt this 【Back-to-Life Blood Body】 was even stronger than those of his two old friends.

To cultivate this Divine Ability to such a level, undoubtedly required an extremely long time.

This meant Brother Yan had taken this person as a disciple long ago—there could be no other explanation.

"Could this disciple have been taken by Brother Yan after his last resurrection via the 【Back-to-Life Blood Body】?"

As this thought flashed through his mind, the black-haired man subtly furrowed his brows.

This was the only plausible explanation now—otherwise, he could not explain why, when Hui Zai approached his brother not long ago, the latter had appeared so weak, as if he had only just transformed into a Fa Shi.

But if that were the case...

Why would the tenth-generation head of Wangchuan Art Academy stand by and watch Hui Zai slay his own master? Was he, like him, harboring the Heavenly Punishment hatred toward Fa Shi?

It was not impossible, but it was undeniably darkly ironic.

After all, Brother Yan had been hunted down by him precisely because he protected Xiao Jie, who was a Fa Shi—yet now his disciple had taken the opposite extreme.

Thinking of this, the black-haired man instinctively glanced at the mask-wearing pair.

Though he still felt something odd about the situation, this seemed the most reasonable explanation for now.

Yet as he looked at the tall figure among them, he could not help silently think:

"Strange... why does this person feel oddly familiar to me?"

He only knew two people from Wangchuan Art Academy: Brother Yan and Xiao Jie. The former had been slain by Hui Zai; the latter was female, and her build did not match the tall figure's—this should not be happening.

Could Brother Yan still be alive?

No. Impossible—if so, the mark of the Sanzhen Pursuit Sky Seal in Hui Zai's hand would have reacted.

This bizarre situation left the black-haired man momentarily baffled.

Unfortunately, due to the extreme scarcity of information, he could only suppress his doubts.

After a long silence, Xiang Yuyin spoke with a hint of apology: "My apologies, but Xiang is blind—yet if you have no connection to these youngsters, why intervene?"

"Didn't you yourself say I was the ancestral founder of Qianji Pavilion?"

"."

At this, Xiang Yuyin fell silent.

Due to Heizhu's prior ordeal and a series of coincidences, he had assumed this mysterious powerhouse was linked to Qianji Pavilion.

Had he known the man came from Wangchuan Art Academy, he would never have dragged him into this matter from the start.

Too late now—once wrong, everything spiraled; he was already trapped.

After a barely perceptible sigh, Xiang Yuyin whispered: "This was my mistake. What do you require? I shall do my utmost to fulfill it."

"I require the Outer Form Method Beyond the Realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang spoke his need without hesitation.

To accelerate the advancement of his Seeker of Arts career series, he needed to collect as many powerful techniques as possible.

Artifacts, talismans, Divine Abilities—the more, the better.

The 【Outer Form Method Beyond the Realm】 was of little direct use to him, but among all Divine Abilities in the Divine Ability world, it was undeniably a powerful one.

"I wonder what specialization the 【Outer Form Method Beyond the Realm】 will generate."

As this thought crossed his mind, Li Ang glanced at the wary Nameless One and Gao Haoguang beside him.

If circumstances allowed, perhaps he could collect the 【Qianji Mechanical Art】 and the 【Sanzhen Borrowing Artifact Art】 both today.

But before that, he had to determine whether the anomaly in causality was linked to Jiujie Sect.

Ever since Xiang Yuyin appeared, he had not triggered the Causality Punishment once.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Xiang Yuyin fell into thought.

Outer Form Method Beyond the Realm.

Unlike other sects in the Divine Ability world, Jiujie Sect had no objection to teaching outsiders their sect's Divine Abilities—provided the learner ultimately served them.

Therefore, faced with this rude demand, Xiang Yuyin did not feel personally offended.

Looking at the divine ability, which was utterly different from those of the Qianji Hall, he thought to himself:

'The Forgotten River Art Academy... has it been destroyed?'

In Xiang Yuyin's view, it was impossible for such a powerhouse to appear out of thin air in this world. Since the other party claimed to have nothing to do with the Qianji Hall, then presumably some patriarch of this 【Forgotten River Art Academy】 had triggered the Ten Thousand Karma True Blood, and upon successfully reviving, discovered that his own sect had been destroyed, wishing to restore its former glory.

Thinking this, he opened his mouth and said: "The external-image method of the Jiujie Sect can be taught to you, but you would still need to join the Jiujie Sect as a Guest Minister."

"You need not worry about being bound, and moreover, my Jiujie Sect can even help you rebuild the Forgotten River Art Academy. How about it?"

After saying these words, Xiang Yuyin began quietly waiting for a reply.

He reckoned that the conditions he had offered were already generous enough; as long as the other party was of sound mind, they could not possibly refuse.

Hearing this, Li Ang could not help but let out a sound whose emotion was impossible to discern: "Truly quite generous."
