Chapter 1846: In a Sorry State!
Su Chen had just begun his cultivation for a short while when Li Changting arrived.
"Headmaster, what brings you here personally?"
Su Chen asked with a playful smile.
"Sigh, you can still smile about it, but this time you’ve really stirred up trouble!"
Li Changting shook his head and said:
"I just came from the Royal Palace, and the Monarch’s attitude is unfriendly. It’s only a matter of time before they make a move on you!"
"Wasn’t this expected?"
Su Chen replied with a careless smile.
"Even though it was expected, it’s still a bit of a pity!"
Li Changting sighed and said:
"For the time being, you should stay in the academy. No matter what happens, with me and the academy around, you don’t need to worry!"
Without a doubt, Li Changting intended to take full responsibility for Su Chen’s situation!
Hearing this, Su Chen felt a bit touched but politely declined:
"Headmaster, I’m already grateful that you agreed to take in my female companions. I won’t trouble you and the academy with this matter; I’ll handle it myself!"
"Handle it? How are you going to handle it by yourself?"
Li Changting asked with a tone of exasperation.
"By the way, Headmaster, I have something else I’d like to ask you about."
Su Chen suddenly said.
"What is it?"
Li Changting asked casually, somewhat curious.
While the two were conversing at the door, Su Chen casually picked up a small stone and drew a peculiar design on the ground!
"Headmaster, have you seen this pattern before?"
Su Chen asked, the pattern was exactly like the mark he’d seen on the back of the neck of the mysterious red-robed man in the Secret Realm!
Li Changting heard this, studied it for a while, then shook his head:
"I’ve never seen it."
Hearing this, Su Chen had to let it go!
For a brief moment, he seemed to catch a flicker of strangeness on Li Changting’s face!
But it was fleeting, and he couldn’t be sure if he was overthinking it!
By bringing it up, he wanted to change the subject and he was genuinely curious!
Because he sensed that the other’s identity seemed quite uncommon, he even detected a hint of conspiracy!
However, Li Changting either didn’t know or wasn’t willing to say, so Su Chen could only drop it!
"Headmaster, I have another question I’d like to ask."
Su Chen continued.
"You sure have a lot of questions. Ask away!"
Li Changting smiled and said.
"Headmaster, have you heard of the Spring of Life?"
If the first question was out of curiosity, this was something Su Chen urgently wanted to know!
Because the Spring of Life was crucial for his master’s health, and although the old ghost said it was just a rumor, he still didn’t want to give up!
One must try, right?!
Unfortunately, Li Changting also hadn’t heard of anything like the Spring of Life!
"Why are you asking about the Spring of Life?"
Li Changting asked.
"My master’s health has issues; the Spring of Life might be helpful."
Su Chen didn’t hide this part of the matter.
Of course, he wouldn’t reveal the old ghost’s identity, even though he now somewhat trusted Li Changting, the headmaster!
Upon hearing about his master, Li Changting showed a bit of interest, thinking the master behind such a disciple must also be quite an extraordinary character!
However, seeing Su Chen didn’t intend to say more, he didn’t continue to ask!
Perhaps his master was also a secret!
"I’m sorry, I really don’t know."
Li Changting said.
"It’s okay. I believe I’ll find it sooner or later."
Su Chen smiled and said.
"Alright, I’ll head back now. These days, make sure to be cautious!"
Li Changting reminded him once more before leaving.
...
After leaving Su Chen, Li Changting’s expression changed immediately!
A heaviness never seen before emerged!
"Could they have appeared again?!"
Li Changting murmured to himself, looking at the sky.
"Hopefully, that kid hasn’t gotten entangled with that faction!"
"But for now, the priority is to deal with the Fourth Prince’s matter, that troublesome kid really knows how to make a mess!"
At this thought, Li Changting felt a bit helpless and continued on his way...
All of this, Su Chen naturally didn’t know. At this moment, he prepared to continue his cultivation.
However, he planned to pay a visit to the Yuntong Commerce Guild in the next couple of days!
For one, he was almost out of the elixirs used for cultivating spiritual power, and secondly, he wanted to inquire if there was any news about the others from the manor recently!
He had been on the Yunxiao Continent for several months, and only now found Lan Xinyi and the other three!
He understood that this was normal; as time went on, it should be comparatively quicker, yet deep inside, he still felt a bit uneasy!
Additionally, he also planned to visit the Tianhe Guild for some matters!
Regarding whether there would be royal people outside?
There definitely would be!
He didn’t need to think much to know that the royal family wouldn’t want a major conflict with Zhaixing Academy!
The best solution would undoubtedly be to resolve this matter outside the academy!
If that’s the case, then he would give them that opportunity!
...
The next day, Su Chen walked out of Zhaixing Academy!
Not long after leaving, a cold smile appeared on his lips!
There were indeed people following him, and not just one or two!
Su Chen pretended not to notice and kept walking forward!
Although he was heading towards the Yuntong Commerce Guild, he deliberately chose an alley!
Sure enough, in the next moment, five figures simultaneously appeared before Su Chen!
Even though these five hadn’t stepped into the Divine Sea Realm, unquestionably, each of them was stronger than that one enshrined man!
Su Chen didn’t waste words, his body moved, and his long sword swept out!
Immediately, a vast wave of sword Qi surged forth, as if annihilating everything!
The five people were instantly terrified!
Is this kid insane?
And so unruly?!
Initially, they intended to introduce themselves properly, so he would know whose hands he was dying at!
But unexpectedly, upon meeting, without sparing a word, the opponent directly attacked?!
More critically, the sword Qi wave was terrifyingly powerful!
This overwhelming wave astounded them, causing them to dodge hastily!
However, the power of the Dayan Sword Technique was not something they could avoid as they wished!
Especially now, as Su Chen’s understanding of the swordsmanship deepened, he executed it with consummate skill!
Two of them, caught in the storm’s center, found it impossible to escape!
Helplessly, they too swung their swords, hoping to diminish the terrifying sword Qi wave!
But, all in vain!
In the face of the overwhelming sword Qi wave, they were swallowed directly and subsequently obliterated within, without a chance to fight back!
In the void, two figures flew out like kites with broken strings, crashing onto the ground!
The remaining three were utterly dumbfounded!
They hadn’t even figured out what happened, yet two of their side had already fallen!
What the hell is going on?!
