Chapter 89: Jialan is Lost

Jialan Academy’s Ancestral Land.

Hui Liyi spent a good while completely annihilating all the obstructing souls within the ancestral land.

Each soul had once been a dean of Jialan Academy, possessing supreme status.

But now, like homeless dogs, they used their own lives to buy a chance for their descendants to escape.

“All of you, disappear!”

Hui Liyi’s eyes were cold. She stepped into mid-air, and the Green Luan Sword descended from the sky, unleashing a massive shockwave.

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

The green light instantly engulfed the ancestral land, melting the burial ground of all Jialan Academy’s ancestors into a pile of ashes.

The surrounding land met the same fate, gradually turning into yellow earth and dust, almost melted into a flat plain by the green light, as if it had never existed.

The green light shimmered on the ground. Hui Liyi bent down, extending a finger to taste the flavor of destruction.

A stone stele?

The ancient stone stele that was originally on the ground was not shattered in the slightest under Hui Liyi’s destructive blow.

Instead, several bewitching souls had spawned on it, lying on the stele with great enjoyment.

“How strange. Why does this stone stele have the same smell as the great axe!”

Hui Liyi didn’t think much of it. After all, this place in Jialan Academy had nourished so many souls, what was the big deal about a few more bewitching souls?

With a wave of her hand, she stored the stone stele in her spatial ring.

Immediately, Hui Liyi stepped out of the ancestral land and shot into the sky. An endless green light instantly enveloped half the sky.

Under the horrified gazes of countless people, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Hui Liyi’s mouth. She raised the Green Luan Sword and announced loudly.

“All students of Jialan Academy, listen up! As of today, you are disbanded. There will be no more Jialan Academy on the Firo Continent!”

“Female disciples with talent may join the Green Luan Sect. As for those male disciples… get lost!”

All the Jialan Academy disciples stood frozen in place, their eyes full of confusion. The funeral for the various elders had just begun.

The funeral had just started, and the academy was closing down?

What was going on?

A few elders in charge of the funeral, not understanding the situation, relied on their status as Jialan Academy elders and shot into the sky.

“Which arrogant woman dares to act so wildly in our Jialan Academy? Are you tired of living?”

The green light was too brilliant. Even though they were less than ten meters away from her, the several elders could not see Hui Liyi’s appearance clearly.

The next second, they saw her face clearly. Their pupils shrank instantly, and they stammered, wanting to apologize.

“A few ants, don’t dirty this Immortal’s hands!”

Before the words of apology could be spoken, their bodies were instantly annihilated from the world, not even leaving behind hero fragments.

…

On the other side, Xu Lingqing returned to Anjin City with Elder Zhao’s coffin.

The moment she returned to the city, a heaven-shaking change occurred in the sky behind her, a sky full of green light.

Gong Yue swallowed hard, “What’s happening at Jialan Academy?”

“It should be Sect Master Hui. She’s probably fighting with the people inside Jialan Academy!”

Gong Yue was confused, “Then why didn’t Jia Tianyang dare to fight you just now?”

Xu Lingqing smiled coldly in her heart. She naturally knew why!

Even the Divine Realm Dao Soldier was no match for her. How would a mere Jia Tianyang, who had not yet reached the Divine Realm, dare to fight her!

“Perhaps it’s because this young lady is beautiful!”

Gong Yue couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. He looked up at the sky, as if all the answers were there.

After burying the coffin in a place with good feng shui in the back mountains of Anjin City, Xu Lingqing paid her respects and offered three sticks of incense.

The incense smoke drifted in the air with the wind. A few wisps of smoke flowed along the soil and into the coffin.

In an instant, a familiar voice sounded from within the coffin, its echo reverberating throughout the valley.

“Lingqing!”

Xu Lingqing was suddenly stunned. She widened her eyes with difficulty and looked around, finally finding the source of the voice.

Elder Zhao’s soul slowly rose from the coffin. What a kind and benevolent face it was.

The corners of Xu Lingqing’s eyes reddened. The joy of seeing Elder Zhao again welled up in her heart. That joy was only slightly less than seeing her mother and ‘Senior’.

“Elder Zhao…”

“Lingqing, it’s me, Elder Zhao. I specially left a remnant soul to tell you something.”

“Mm… Elder Zhao, just say whatever you have to say!”

Elder Zhao looked at Gong Yue at the side and waved his aged hand.

“Gong Yue, you come over too!”

“Yes, Elder Zhao.”

Zhao Yunfei looked at Lin Jintian behind them with a somewhat solemn expression, then created a barrier to block their conversation.

“Lingqing, you must be careful of him!”

Xu Lingqing nodded slightly. ‘Senior’ had said the same thing.

‘Senior’ really has the ability to predict the future.

Then, ‘Senior’, can you tell Lingqing when you can come find me, or when I can go find you…

Lin Jintian was once a very good person.

It was just that in her heart, she was unwilling to believe that Lin Jintian was a bad person, nor was she willing to be on guard against him.

“Lingqing, Gong Yue, have you two always thought that Dean Jia is a great villain who commits all sorts of evil?”

Gong Yue blurted out without hesitation, “Of course! I saw him do bad things with my own eyes. If Elder Zhao hadn’t saved me, I would have probably…”

Xu Lingqing nodded silently. The limbs that had once been severed were the best proof.

Zhao Yunfei’s soul swayed for a moment. His hand familiarly stroked his white beard as he said with a faint smile.

“Wrong, you are both wrong. He is not a bad person!”

Gong Yue’s mouth hung open, his face full of astonishment, “Elder Zhao, have you been brainwashed by Jia Tianyang?”

“Hehehe, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Dean Jia also has his helpless side…”

“How is that possible? He personally harmed Lingqing, and I even saw him take away academy disciples to…”

“If I said that all of this was done because he had no choice but to resist, would you believe me?”

Xu Lingqing’s heart trembled violently. After a long silence, she questioned in a cold voice.

“Since he is a good person, why did he sever the meridians in my four limbs, why did he destroy my spiritual root, why did he throw me into the desolate and uninhabited Silent Ridge?”

“Why?”

“You tell me why?”

Zhao Yunfei was not surprised in the slightest. His soul gradually rose higher as he explained in a heartfelt tone.

“Do you two think that Jia Tianyang can change the minds of everyone in the entire academy with just a single sentence?”

Xu Lingqing’s brows shot up, “Is that not the case?”

“You are wrong! He does not have that authority, nor can he stand in opposition to everyone in Jialan Academy.”

Xu Lingqing’s expression was cold, her fingers clutching her violet-gold sleeve, “Since he can’t, then I can’t possibly see him as a good person!”

“Lingqing! Some things even Jia Tianyang cannot change, because someone is behind the scenes ordering him to do so!”

“Then you tell me who that person is!”
