Chapter 111
111 Let me do it!(Making up for lunch)
After Li Chu returned to the Academy, he did not speak for the entire night.
The next morning, the mountain elder of the Academy, the great scholar, came to find him in person.
“Someone wants to see you.”
The mountain elder looked at Li Chu and smiled.
Li Chu was a little curious. In this Academy, who else had the right to make the mountain elder run errands?
The mountain elder led him up the ancient scholartree mountain.
Near the peak of the mountain, there was a scholartree garden.
It was the place where the first mountain elder had met the Huai ancestor. Legend had it that it was also where the Huai ancestor’s main body was.
However, this was a forbidden area in the Academy, and there was a restriction placed by the Huai ancestor. Not only did it block intruders, but even people’s line of sight could only see an ethereal mist.
Other than the previous mountain elders, no one else was allowed to enter.
Therefore, no one had ever seen the locust tree ancestor’s true body.
Seeing the hill walk straight ahead, Li Chu slowed down and asked, ” “Can I go in?”
The mountain elder turned around to look at him and smiled faintly. “Of course you can. The person who wants to see you is inside.”
The mysterious interior of scholartree garden was just an empty hillside.
In the middle of the hill, there was a tall ancient pagoda tree.
This tree might be the most famous locust tree in the world, but it wasn’t that surprising. The branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the roots were thick. That was all.
In Li Chu’s eyes, it was similar to the old locust tree in de Yun temple.
Under the locust tree sat an old man in a green Confucian robe. He had white hair and a pale face, and his eyes were warm.
Li Chu saw him and nodded slightly at him.
It was just a simple greeting to the older man, but this time, the other two old men were stunned.
In the mountain elder’s eyes, Li Chu was bowing to the air.
The green-robed old man was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, ” “You can see me?”
“What?”
When Li Chu heard this, he also felt a little strange.
Who can’t see a living person like you here?
The old man seemed to understand Li Chu’s meaning.
I haven’t revealed my true form yet, Yingluo.
He decided not to explain and stood up. With a wave of his sleeve, his clothes fluttered a few times.
Only then did the mountain elder see him. He also bowed and said, ” “Mister Huai, I’ve brought the little Taoist priest Tong Jiong here.”
“Thank you for your trouble.” The old man who was called Mister Huai nodded.
The mountain elder tactfully took his leave.
Only Li Chu and Mister Huai were left in scholartree garden.
Hearing the way the mountain elder addressed him, Li Chu could not help but guess that he was the Huai ancestor who was rumored to have enlightened the first mountain elder.
Thus, Li Chu closed his eyes and used his mind’s eye technique to observe the old man.
He noticed that the old man’s “skeleton” was very strange.
It was not like the existence of humans or demons, where there were tens of thousands of complex Qi groups mixed together in their bodies.
There was only a faint wisp of Qi in the old man’s body.
Although the Qi was weak, it was pure and Li Chu felt a sense of familiarity.
It seemed that the spiritual power of the Kasaya was similar to that of his body.
Perhaps it was the same power from a different source.
Li Chu’s heart was slightly stirred. After coming to this world for so long, was he finally going to meet his second spiritual power possessor?
Mister Huai did not know what Li Chu was thinking and only thought that Li Chu was curious about him.
hehe, I’ve lived for so long, but you’re the first person who can see me without me showing my true form. He said with a smile.
“Reveal my form?” “Are you senior Huai ancestor?” Li Chu asked.
“Yes, but not exactly,” Mister Huai smiled again.
The riddle man
Li Chu did not pay much attention to his behavior.
“Then, why did you specifically call me over?” he asked directly.
Mister Huai stopped smiling and said seriously,”I just wanted to remind you that you’re in danger.”
“I’m in danger?”
“Yes, I am.” I have to thank you for bearing the curse of the evil spirit for the Academy, ” Mister Huai said. but it’s not a good thing for you, ” he said.
“I know. I’m just trying to help my friend.” Li Chu nodded.
“Actually, although the existence of the bi ‘an evil spirit is a secret, it’s not like no one knows about it.”
“The powerful cultivator in the decapitation stage also discovered the reason behind it,” Mister Huai said.
“Oh?”
This was the first time Li Chu had heard of this.
“But he didn’t want to offend an evil spirit who had experienced countless years and was proficient in sorcery for the Academy. At that time, he was about to experience his tribulation, and he was afraid that this matter would increase the variables of his tribulation.”
Li Chu frowned.
So that’s the reason. He didn’t make a move because he thought it wasn’t worth it.
This meant that the evil spirit of bi an was very powerful.
At the very least, they were existences that could cause trouble for powerful beings.
“I’m sure you’ve already guessed that the evil spirit is very terrifying. I can’t protect you.”
Mister Huai’s expression was slightly ashamed.
“I can only remind you of this, Yingluo.”
At this moment, a demonic voice suddenly came from scholartree garden.
“Hahahaha! It was too late! I’m already here!”
A black shadow descended from the sky, accompanied by streams of neck-piercing evil winds.
Mister Huai’s expression changed greatly. He was the one who guarded the restriction in scholartree garden, yet the enemy had barged in without any effort!
Li Chu’s heart trembled as well. He and Mister Huai looked at the person who had come.
The man was wearing a black robe, and his face was covered by a hood, casting a thick shadow over everything.
His hands were hidden in his sleeves, not an inch of his skin was exposed.
However, Li Chu seemed to have a connection with it. The moment he saw it, a voice rang in his heart.
“Evil spirit.”
“So you’re the one who’s devouring my luck.” The other party also said in a gloomy tone.
Although his tone was calm, his killing intent was awe-inspiring.
Li Chu could not help but observe it with his heart’s eye.
He realized that the other party did not have the so-called “fear”!
As expected, it wasn’t a living thing, but it had its own spirit. It was really strange.
At this time, Mister Huai stood in front of Li Chu and looked at the evil spirit in front of him with a serious expression.
“Little friend, you should leave this place quickly!”
“Hehe, you think you can stop me?” The evil spirit snorted coldly.
“How dare you behave atrociously in the righteous Academy?” Mister Huai retorted.
The evil spirit sneered. I know you humans too well. You’re all people who focus on your own interests and fish for fame. If I wanted to destroy this Academy, there would be many strong cultivators who would stop me. But if I only killed a small student, who would care about me?”
“To put it bluntly, they only care about the heritage of the dynasty in this Academy. As for the lives of the Academy, they are like ants in their eyes.”
“What so-called righteousness? it’s just weighing the pros and cons.”
“If you really care about human lives, you would have disbanded this Academy a long time ago, hehe.”
Mister Huai was speechless for a moment.
He looked at Li Chu and said coldly.
I only stole a small part of it. Other people don’t care about it. Why do you have to give me more trouble? ”
“Today’s outcome is definitely your own doing, Qianqian.”
The evil spirit was indeed very angry. It was its proudest method to use this witchcraft to steal the luck of the Academy.
He didn’t touch the true bottom line of those dynasties and celestial sects, but he strengthened himself. In another two hundred years, it was confident that it would achieve enlightenment and become an evil god.
At that time, it would be able to do whatever it wanted.
However, who knew that such a character would appear out of nowhere and try to suck back the luck it had stolen over the years!
This move was tantamount to a dog-eat-dog situation.
He didn’t care about the rules of the martial world at all!
Any later and its power would be reduced.
Therefore, it had descended from nine thousand miles away and rushed to the righteous Academy.
It was to find the person who had caused him trouble.
He wanted him to die under the most painful curse in the world!
……
At this moment, they heard Mister Huai shout, ” How dare you!
The old man made his move!
His Confucian robe fluttered in the wind, bringing with it a gust of wind that dispelled the evil wind around him.
Then, he raised his right arm and pointed at the evil spirit.
“Whoosh-”
Countless leaves suddenly flew out from the locust tree behind him. They flew in the wind like thousands of sharp blades!
It was a powerful strike.
The evil spirit did not move in the face of these Locust leaf Flying Daggers, allowing them to shoot at it.
When the locust tree leaves reached its body, they seemed to be blocked by something, suddenly sliding away and brushing past its shoulders.
But it was not over yet.
After all the leaves flew past, they did not land on the ground. Instead, they continued to dance in the wind and gathered into the shape of a Dragon.
The Azure Dragon!
The giant dragon opened its mouth and was about to devour the evil spirit!
“Oh,”
Sinistress suddenly sneered.
“I was worried that the Huai ancestor, as one of the ancestral demons in the world, had left something powerful for the righteous Academy.”
“So it’s only a clone formed by a weak wisp of immortal Qi.”
“He’s too weak,”
The sky changed color, the wind howled, and just as it was about to be swallowed by the Dragon, it suddenly said this.
He was too weak.
Then, it raised its hand, but it did not point at Mister Huai. Instead, it pointed at the body of the ancient Huai tree.
Under this finger.
The ancient pagoda tree, which had lived for many years and had always been regarded as a religion by the people of the Academy, had actually crumbled in an instant.
It withered.
The branches and leaves turned yellow and fell, the trunk rotted and fell, the roots broke and blocked the rustling.
It was as if thousands of years had passed in an instant.
“Pfft-”
Mister Huai spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Azure Dragon that was falling from the sky suddenly broke apart and turned into rotten leaves that were like flying dust.
Li Chu was shocked and went forward to support him. He felt that the old man who was still in good spirits just now had aged by dozens of years in an instant, as if he was a corpse that had been revived.
The power of sorcery was terrifying.
“Little friend, go quickly, don’t worry about me! I still have one last sacred art that I can use. I can definitely hold it back!” Mister Huai said angrily.
Li Chu was silent.
He did not know what Mister Huai was going to do, but he could guess it from the old man’s appearance.
That must be a divine ability that was similar to perishing together.
The old man’s gaze was firm like a torch, moving people.
Facing a powerful enemy who was not in the same realm, he said in a clear voice, ”
“I’ve guarded the righteous Academy for more than eight hundred years. I’m just a mere spirit body, born to guard the righteous energy of this place. I can’t solve this hundred year disaster, so I’ve always been heartbroken.”
“Today, I’d rather die than let you understand!”
“Between heaven and earth, there is a mist.”
“Senior!”
Li Chu quickly pressed down on his shoulder.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed.
According to the usual plot, after finishing these lines, he should have used some method of sacrificing himself to die.
Li Chu had no choice but to interrupt his impassioned speech.
“Why don’t I do it, Qingqing?”
……

[ PS: I found that some friends missed it when it was mentioned in the author’s words or comments. ]
For the last time, I’ll adjust the update time to 12:00 PM and 8:00 pm, two chapters a day.
I’ll try my best to exceed a chapter of 3000 words, so that the number of words will be the same as a 3000-word chapter.
But for me, one less update means a lot less modification.
The invincible style couldn’t be written too fast, as many things had to be considered. It was often too late when the plot was about to collapse.
His body couldn’t take it these two days, and he had received a few bad comments on the content, so he decided to leave it at that for now.
After he had a stockpile, he would have chapters that he didn’t have and irregular updates.
I admit that I was too weak.
