C143 Desiring to Become Stronger

"He's from the academy."

"They chose to leave as well? We should leave as soon as possible!"

"Let's go, let's go. My blood has already been contaminated by a demonic aura. We have to get rid of it as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll all become demonic and go on a rampage."

"My spiritual energy has also been contaminated by a trace of demonic Qi. Let's hurry to the Blood Moon Tower to heal my injuries. I don't want to become a bloodthirsty man and end up being killed by a random saber."

"Huala ~!"

Although there were experts flying in the sky from time to time, and there were even disciples of sects who were riding on flying desolate beasts, the disciples of the academy were still the most attractive.

The eight trigrams rune in the middle seemed to be an extremely frightening power. The dignity of the Pride of Heaven Academy was something that even ordinary sects and institutions had to respect.

Just like what Baizhan Baizhan had said, when one stepped out of the mountain gate, their words and actions represented the academy.

"Senior Brother Wuxin, look! It's someone from the academy!"

In Jiuyang City, outside the Blood Moon Tower, a group of young men wearing the Daoist robes of the Celestial Sword Sect were looking up at the sky.

"Hmm?"

Jian Wuxin, who had three swords sheathed on his back, also looked at the sky. He frowned and said, "There's no black hawk?"

"He didn't leave together with Hundred Battles?"

Jian Wuxin's eyes moved. He turned his head and looked at the remote mountains on the west side of Jiuyang City, where the demonic Qi was getting thicker and thicker. "Could it be that Baizhan has gone into the depths alone?"

"That shouldn't be possible. This man is insidious and cruel. He is very careful in his actions. He is definitely not as open as he appears to be. There must be something strange about him not leaving."

"Furthermore, they have quite a number of people, but two of them are missing from the Swift-wind Bird."

Jian Wuxin's gaze was sharp as he started to guess the changes within.

"Lee Yihong."

"Sister Youyin!"

Behind Jian Wuxin,yuchi Yun Feng had a fierce look on his face. He saw Lee Yihong sitting on the back of the Swift-wind Bird, and Jih Youyin sitting behind Lee Yihong.

"Senior brother Wuxin, didn't you say Youyin was chosen by Baizhan? Even if I called Youyin 'little sister', she would still be scolded. Why is Xu Youyin sitting behind another man now?"

Yuchi Yunfeng asked unwillingly. The sword intent in his eyes was even more violent.

"This is also what I am puzzled about."

Jian Wuxin also saw Lee Yihong and Jih Youyin riding a Swift-wind Bird together. "According to the style of a hundred battles, it is impossible for a girl that I like to sit behind another man. There must be something strange about this."

"Hmm?"

As if he had sensed a familiar gaze, Lee Yihong, who was on the back of the Swift-wind Bird in the sky, turned his head slightly and looked down. He saw Jian Wuxin, who was the size of an ant, and Yuchi Yunfeng.

Not to mention the fact that an Unshakeable Stage warrior could see everything clearly within ten thousand meters, even a Martial Master Stage warrior could vaguely see the totem of the academy on Lee Yihong and the others' robes.

"Junior Sister Ji, you sit behind me. I seem to have become an evil person in an instant."

Lee Yihong shook his head and laughed at himself. He retracted his gaze. Although he felt somewhat helpless, he didn't really care about what others were looking at. Instead, his calm and refined temperament became more and more extraordinary.

"Mr Lee is a genius. How could he care about such a small matter? How can a child's love affect the heart of a strong person?"

Jih Youyin's voice was light and ethereal. If it was not for the Stellar Energy enveloping her, she would have been swept up by the violent winds in the sky, making it hard to hear clearly.

But at this moment, her body was pressed tightly against Lee Yihong's.

"Mr Lee is the person with the strongest Dao Seeking Heart that Youyin has ever seen. Even Mr Bai Zhan is inferior to him. I believe in my intuition."

Jih Youyin continued, "In the past, when Youyin's cultivation base was low, she could not feel it. But when I went to Zhaoming Temple,i felt Mr Lee's sincerity in seeking the Dao."

"I admit that I have a strong desire to seek the Dao, but compared to Mr Lee,i am still far inferior."

A light breath lingered in Lee Yihong's ears, like an orchid, but Jih Youyin did not reveal the feminine side of a little girl.

Although her voice was ethereal, her temperament was still cold and arrogant. Her expression was filled with longing for a higher cultivation base, and there was no ambiguous relationship between a man and a woman.

The only thing that he could hope for was Lee Yihong's back view, but his eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise.

"It's not about seeking the Dao. I just want to become stronger."

Lee Yihong was magnanimous and humble, and he did not create anything. He was as free as a book and a pen.

This was the temperament that was naturally emitted when one practiced calligraphy to the bone marrow.

"Desire to become stronger?"

Jih Youyin, however, was in a daze. "Yes, desire to become stronger."

As if she could feel a strange aura from Lee Yihong, Jih Youyin's heart of seeking the Dao was wiped away and her clear eyes became brighter.

She subconsciously approached Lee Yihong, wanting to feel that aura.

At first glance, she even thought that Jih Youyin was hugging Lee Yihong, or even lying on his back.

"Damn it! Mr Bai Zhan just died, but this kid... he... he actually did this! Is this blasphemy against Mr Bai Zhan's heroic spirit? This is unforgivable!"

A young man standing in front of Lee Yihong caught a glimpse of the intimacy between Lee Yihong and Jih Youyin, and immediately revealed an expression of hatred.

"Senior Brother Yi, look at this kid. He is really detestable."

The other young men couldn't help but look behind them. Immediately, their angry and forceful voices were transmitted to Yih Xiaotian, who was standing in front of them.

"Hmph."

Yih Xiaotian had already noticed the strangeness of Lee Yihong and Jih Youyin, but he only let out a cold snort. His eyes revealed a cold light, and he didn't speak anymore. It was as if the death of the Hundred Battles had made Yih Xiaotian feel some kind of terror. Even the Swift-wind Bird underneath his seat could sense the strange atmosphere, and it sped up its flight speed.

The disciples of the genius academy were forbidden from killing each other. If there were any grudges between them, they could only be resolved on the Heaven Punishing Platform. Otherwise, if they found out that they were killing each other, they would be severely punished.

The deterrence of Tianxing Palace made the entire academy and even the major powers in the world not dare to provoke it.

"Huala ~!"

No one knew how long they had been flying for. Jih Youyin's Qi was lingering in Lee Yihong's ears, making it hard for him to calm down. It was only when the nine mountains covered by the sea of clouds appeared in the horizon that Lee Yihong's eyes lit up.

When he saw the entrance of the academy, he also saw five to six hundred people kneeling outside the entrance.

The reason why there were people kneeling here every day wasn't because they didn't have the opportunity to enter the sect. Every hundred days, there would be a few people, and even dozens of people with good aptitudes would be selected by the deacons of the sect to take the examination and become an outer sect disciple.

That was why the people kneeling outside the mountain gate didn't stop for a long time.

As soon as they entered the prodigy academy, as long as one wasn't mediocre, the worst would be able to become an Unshakeable Stage expert in their lifetime.

"Swish ~!"

The moment the six Swift-wind Bird flew past the mountain gate, they were swept over by three streams of mental energy without any scruples.

This was the privilege of the disciples guarding the mountain gate. Anyone who intruded would be interrogated. Of course, if it was a core disciple or an elder, even if they used their spiritual energy to sweep the area, it would be difficult to see the person clearly.

However, the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it was for them to trespass into the academy.

"Hua ~!"

Lee Yihong and the others, however, used the Swift-wind Bird to directly pierce through the dense Qi and enter the Contribution Palace of the First Peak.

"Junior Sister Ji, you guys go to the Contribution Palace to complete the mission. If you report it truthfully, it will be enough. I will return the Swift-wind Bird to the Beastmaster Palace, and I will have to compensate two dead Swift-wind Bird as well as report Mr Bai Zhan's death."

"Woosh ~!"

Yih Xiaotian glanced at Jih Youyin,li Ying, and the others. His expression was gloomy and had a trace of fear. He led the six Swift-wind Bird and flew away. The look of worry on his face made Lee Yihong frown.

"Let's go, we need to complete the mission first."

The young man who had collected the Demon Puncture Vine's corpse led everyone into a crowd of people. Countless disciples flew into the Contribution Palace.
