Chapter 492: Internal Conflict? (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
These ink words were like the most precise array formation. As long as a small portion was damaged, it would collapse completely.
If not for that, Jiang Li would have been in deep trouble when facing them.
“Young man, you have some ability, but this is not a reason to slander the Ink Scar Academy!”
The Grand Secretary did not understand Jiang Li’s meaning and was only angry at his rude words.
He waved the pen, and the word “punishment” flew out again, transforming into a whip in the air that struck towards Jiang Li.
This method of forming words was even harder to resist.
Pew!
Two mouthfuls of blood splattered in the air. The injured person’s body was sent flying. His eyes widened in disbelief.
However, the blood was not Jiang Li’s, but the arrogant young scholar who was originally standing at the front of the bamboo slip and Grand Secretary Meng Gu.
The ten scholars behind them attacked from behind for some reason.
The killing intent that they had condensed earlier was not targeted at Jiang Li at all, but their companions.
One of the words that suddenly erupted with killing intent had the power of an Earth Immortal, instantly sending the two flying.
Due to his weak strength, the arrogant young scholar only received two ink words, but they had already made him fall to the ground. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.
On the other hand, the old scholar who was the focus of attention had a book automatically fly out and block most of the damage for him.
He stabilized his figure in the air and took a few steps forward before enduring it with a pale face.
“You guys! What are you doing?!”
Grand Secretary Meng’s figure instantly arrived beside the young man. He reached out to check his heart meridians and discovered that there was no longer any vitality.
The old scholar’s eyes could almost spit fire as he stared at the ten students!
“On the orders of the dean, we will expel Grand Secretary Meng Gu from the academy!”
The ten people were clearly prepared. They ignored the old scholar’s anger and continued to write in the air.
…
“They’re fighting? Internal strife among the rich and powerful, what a melodramatic scene!”
Jiang Li was slightly surprised by the sudden internal conflict between the twelve enemies, but then he smiled.
In any case, they were all his enemies. It had nothing to do with him if these guys beat their brains out.
Moreover, he also understood that it seemed that this Grand Secretary did not know the problem with the ten scholars.
When Jiang Li used Fengdu City earlier, he had borrowed the magical power of this ghost city to vaguely sense that these ten scholars were not alive, so he said those words.
He originally thought that this academy used special methods to retain the souls of the dead to strengthen themselves, but it seemed that this was not the case.
The Ink Scar Academy had been infiltrated by someone in secret.
These ten traitors were simply looking for an excuse to lead this important figure to a remote area and attack!
This was big news, but it was best not to happen around him.
Jiang Li immediately transformed into an invisible person. He waved his hand and retreated with Qin Shuman and the surrounding Ghost Kings.
When dogs were fighting, there was no need for him to get involved. If he was bitten, it would be a huge loss.
…
On the other side, the eleven experts of the Ink Scar Academy had already fought.
Unlike the five elements of ordinary cultivators, their battle was only black and white.
Both sides threw their pens and ink. The scene changed as if they had entered a world of ink, beautiful and filled with killing intent.
“Ridiculous! When I became a Grand Secretary, Zhao Mingde was only a kid studying ink! What right does he have to expel me from the academy?”
“The few of you actually dare to try and kill me and your fellow disciple like this! How unfilial!”
Words flew out and exploded several mountains formed from ink, sending the few Soul Formation cultivators hiding behind flying.
“No! The handwriting is wrong! You’re not my students! Who are you?”
“Mirror of illumination! Reveal their true form!”
As expected of the Grand Secretary, he could still maintain his rationality under such circumstances. He discovered some clues from the ink words written by the ten people.
His pen waved in the air, creating seven huge words.
The seven ink words transformed into a huge mirror that emitted a white light that landed on the ten cultivators.
Two overlapping figures immediately appeared on the ten scholars.
As expected, they were not themselves, but someone had used a strange method to occupy their body!
“Fang Taichu! Deng Kaichang! Lang Ziming! Wen Honglang! Xu Xingde! You… aren’t you all dead?”
“What did you do to my students? Why did you occupy their bodies?”
Grand Secretary Meng Gu realized that he actually knew these ten shadows, and he could not hide the shock on his face.
This was because these ten people were all from their Ink Scar Academy.
One of them was his favorite disciple back then. He had become a Grand Secretary of the same level as him at a young age.
However, the ten of them should have died in the war with the Armored Trolls!
Why did they suddenly appear here? They even attacked him crazily!
“Grand Secretary Meng Gu, you have a good memory. We have all originally studied under you.”
“We thought that the world had already forgotten about us. At the thought that teacher still missed us, we felt so touched that we cried profusely!”
“A teacher for a day is a father for life. Please accept the worship of the students.”
They spoke words of respecting their master, but their attacks were each darker than the other. Every word was a fatal move.
“You’re heartless, disloyal, and unfilial. I’ve never taught you guys to become such people!”
Grand Secretary Meng Gu looked at the ten people surrounding him and frowned. However, he was still outnumbered and fell into a disadvantage for a time.
“It is precisely because of your guidance that we have specially come to bring you to the true paradise.”
The attacks of the ten people temporarily stopped. Dense ink words appeared in front of them. The ten of them worked together and formed an order.
They had to be ruthless to their former teacher.
At this moment, a spatial force attacked. The surrounding scenery changed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived outside the city.
Then, a fog blew over. The huge Fengdu Ghost City seemed to have grown legs and was getting farther and farther away from them.
Jiang Li did not want an Earth Immortal-level conflict to continue to erupt in his city. That would make his months of hard work go to waste.
He seized an opportunity to kick these guys out of the city.
In addition, the rules of the Netherworld Illusion and reality were surprising. The space here was not completely fixed to begin with. Even a huge city would change its location from time to time.
Previously, before the Gate of Hell, every time he wanted to find this Fengdu Ghost City, he needed the guidance of the spider lily.
In these few months, Jiang Li captured more than ten earth veins of various sizes and stuffed them into Fengdu City, although they had yet to form a dragon vein.
However, with the power of the earth vein, he had already built Fengdu City into a city that could move freely in the Netherworld Illusion.
Therefore, as soon as he moved these walking bombs out of Fengdu City, he immediately drove the city away.
This was also the reason why he dared to open Fengdu City to the cultivation world.
If there were really powerful enemies in the outside world who had ill intentions towards him, he only needed to close the Gate of Hell and move Fengdu City.
Most of the places in the current Netherworld Illusion did not have the spider lily and carefree grass. Even if someone wanted to plot something, it was almost impossible to find a city that took the initiative to hide.
Looking at the Ghost City getting farther and farther away, it was about to disappear into the thick fog.
“Should we destroy the city?”
One of the ten suggested slaughtering the ghost city to silence them.
However, the Earth Immortal in the lead, Fang Taichu, shook his head.
“After today onwards, our lord will appear again and ascend the throne!”
“It’s just a ghost city. How can it be more important than our respected Grand Secretary?”
“Don’t you agree, teacher?”
Grand Scholar Meng Gu waved his brush and ink, blocking the words of the ten people.
Hearing their words, his heart sank.
It seemed that the faction that pulled these ten students back from death had planned for a long time and had great ambitions!
They were actually not afraid of the situation being exposed.
In that case, the plan to kill him, the Grand Secretary, was very likely not an exception.
More hidden claws would attack together on the same day!
Who knew what kind of bloody waves would arise in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region?
