Chapter 1854: Chapter 1881: The Letter’s at the Door, You Can Leave Now
After speaking, Da Jianbi slowly closed his eyes, and there was no sign of life.
"This guy was quite troublesome, but at least it’s taken care of. Big guy, thanks a lot."
Yu Huan Shui patted the primitive man to express his gratitude.
"This person was the toughest since entering the starry sky, and was just the advance team sent by the organization to hunt us. The road ahead might be even harder."
"But according to what he said, Jiang Que’s squad only had four people, now all are dealt with, so we’re temporarily safe."
Li Xiaobai said.
Yu Huan Shui: "How should we deal with this person’s body?"
Li Xiaobai thought for a while: "Throw it at Yumi Academy, make it look like Chen Qingquan killed him, and temporarily delay the organization’s pursuit."
...
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
A corpse appeared in front of Yumi Academy’s gate.
The academy disciples all fled, and it took half a day for Chen Qingquan and a few of the elders to finally decide to first check Xiaobai Academy’s situation, only to discover the corpse when they reached the academy gate.
Although they didn’t recognize the face, they were very familiar with these clothes.
"Isn’t this the man in black?"
"Didn’t they go to cause trouble for Yu Huan Shui? Why is he dead outside our academy?"
"Did this person get killed right after leaving the academy, or was he killed elsewhere and his body returned here?"
"Don’t touch him, it looks just like we did it!"
The old mountain goat tried to check the body but was stopped by Chen Qingquan.
Framing!
It’s fake!
It’s definitely that, most likely done by Yu Huan Shui, killing the man and deliberately leaving the body here to blame them.
But this childish trick left him somewhat at a loss because everyone in the academy fled, and all nearby people had gone to Xiaobai Academy, so there were no witnesses.
This group of people could say they couldn’t clear their name even if they jumped into the Boundary Sea.
"What should we do?"
"Just pretend you didn’t see it and bury it somewhere, who would come looking for trouble?"
"Bury it solemnly."
The group surrounded the body, and finally, Chen Qingquan decided to bury it on the spot, giving a solemn farewell to fellow soldiers.
"Hiss..."
A raspy voice suddenly came, startling everyone.
They saw the "corpse" on the ground suddenly move, at first thinking it was a trick of their eyes, but when the "corpse’s" hand grabbed Chen Qingquan’s ankle, Chen Qingquan’s whole being instantly felt bad.
His face turned pale, cultivation technique ran to the extreme, ready to act at any time.
"I know Yu Huan Shui’s secrets, and I know his secrets in commanding the scholars!"
"I know how to defeat him, you will save me, right?"
"You won’t just leave me here, right?"
...
At the same time.
Elsewhere.
Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui returned to Xiaobai Academy, which was actually just ruins, surrounded by many cultivators who hadn’t left, eagerly staring at the ruins.
In just half a day, they witnessed the whole process from Xiaobai Academy’s grand opening to its shutdown.
"Mr. Yu is back!"
"I knew Mr. Yu would be okay, who is that man in black, could he be a helper hired by Chancellor Chen?"
"Daring to provoke Mr. Yu in the Eight Desolates Domain, truly bold!"
"Rest assured, Mr. Yu, top experts have gathered here, they won’t leave for a step, no one can sneak in to assassinate you!"
The cultivators gathered around, expressing their care to Yu Huan Shui.
The two were covered in dust, looking completely disheveled, clearly having just undergone a battle.
"It’s that mysterious organization in the starry sky making a move, sending a regulator. Be careful out there; the organization’s reach has extended into the Boundary Sea!"
Yu Huan Shui said calmly, returning to his former dignified demeanor: "The academy will be rebuilt. You can participate in the reconstruction work over the coming days, and the Heavenly Dao will note your contributions."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu. Don’t worry, with us here, Xiaobai Academy will be rebuilt to be as impregnable as a fortress!"
The crowd was delighted and immediately started working on the academy’s reconstruction.
These were all free laborers, and for these cultivators who came from afar, seeking Dao from Yu Huan Shui was an honor, but witnessing Yu Huan Shui’s heroic combat was an even greater honor.
According to early reports from cultivators, the man in black had extremely strange strength, capable of instantaneously defeating several Immortal Gods Realm cultivators but was ultimately overcome by Yu Huan Shui. Hearing this, they felt the journey was worth it, providing them with stories for recounting back home.
This tale could be bragged about for a year.
"What are your next plans?"
Yu Huan Shui asked.
"First, find a stable place to contemplate, at least figure out the Visualized Item."
Li Xiaobai said. Following several successive attacks, he deeply understood the importance of the Visualized Item, but was unclear about how to use his own, or its special abilities.
"Then let’s stay here for now, I need to find ways to restore my cultivation level as well; without Yumi Academy, a new solution is needed."
Yu Huan Shui nodded. His cultivation level was sealed by Ksitigarbha, originally planning to use Yumi Academy’s resources, led by Chen Qingquan, with all disciples assisting, to summon the Heavenly Dao to lift the seal. But now, Chen Qingquan has seized power, Yumi Academy’s disciples have dispersed, and this plan won’t work.
Unable to distinguish friend from foe, he absolutely wouldn’t expose the secret of his sealed cultivation level.
It was already late at night.
Li Xiaobai sat on the bed, inspecting the new system panel.
[Host: Li Xiaobai]
[...]
[Cultivation Level: Immortal Gods Realm]
[Upgrade Conditions: Hit by Elder-level (0|2) Attribute Points (Two billion|Eleven billion)]
[Visualized Item: Wealthy Li Xiaobai]
[Law: Time Law branch, time pause for two seconds]
[...]
The panel was still the same as before, only now the Visualized Item and Law sections were added.
The Visualized Item is the only thing he cultivated independently of the system. Though initially created with help from the ghost lady, its inclusion in the system indicates its strength is acknowledged by the system.
"So how should the Visualized Item be used, the system doesn’t clearly explain."
"Yu Huan Shui couldn’t really elaborate either; scholars’ cultivation is all derived from texts, the Law of Power from the Heavenly Dao, understanding leads to usage without systematic study."
"In hindsight, I shouldn’t have let Immortal Hu leave, should have learned the usage of the Visualized Item first."
Li Xiaobai mused, considering with so many guests outside, he could casually find someone to learn the techniques, likely achieving something similar in proficiency.
Just as he was thinking.
The door was suddenly knocked.
"Is it Senior Li?"
The voice was very youthful, not someone familiar.
Li Xiaobai became alert: "Who is it?"
"A servant here to deliver a message, your recent deeds have impressed the organization, they sent me to show goodwill. No more assassination attempts will come your way, you can be at ease."
"The letter is at the door, you can go."
