559: Chapter 559 Stay and work together?
Li Heng's words fell like a final judgment.
He carried the Peak Undergoing Tribulation Stage powerhouse, Xu Yuanwu, by the back of his neck, a movement that truly made no difference from carrying a small chick.
Xu Yuanwu's body was stiff.
He wanted to resist.
He was the Grand Elder of Qingyun Immortal Sect! He was a supreme existence of the Undergoing Tribulation Stage!
However, an indescribable terrifying power, like countless invisible chains, completely sealed every corner of him, from his Divine Soul to his Physical Body.
The Law power within him was like cash locked in a safe, visible but untouchable.
Spiritual energy?
It was even more stagnant than a pool of dead water, unable to stir up even a ripple.
He had completely become a Mortal with no power to truss a chicken.
No.
He was even worse than a Mortal.
Because he didn't even have the strength to move a single finger now.
"You..."
A dry word squeezed out of Xu Yuanwu's throat, his face filled with horror and incomprehension.
Li Heng ignored him, carrying him as he turned to look at the battered Kunlun Students on the Main Peak Plaza.
When his gaze swept over them, the Kunlun Students, who were still immersed in the ecstasy of surviving the calamity, quieted down.
Liu Lian knelt on one knee, and although the wound on his severed arm was still bleeding, his eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
"Disciple Liu Lian respectfully welcomes the Dean's return!"
"Disciple Xie Wangsheng respectfully welcomes the Dean!"
"Disciple Zhang Qiqi..."
"Respectfully welcomes the Dean!"
Calls from the bottom of their hearts, filled with excitement, grievances, and the firm belief of something lost and found again, converged into a huge wave of sound.
As long as the Dean was here, the sky of Kunlun would not collapse.
"Alright, alright."
Li Heng waved his hand, casually throwing Xu Yuanwu, whom he was holding, onto the ground.
"Bang."
Xu Yuanwu's face hit the hard floor tiles squarely, leaving him dazed and disoriented.
But he couldn't even let out a grunt.
Li Heng walked up to Liu Lian, glanced at his empty sleeve, and then at the deep, bone-visible wound on Xie Wangsheng's body.
His eyes showed no change.
But the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop a few more degrees.
"So heavily injured, why didn't you call me earlier?"
Li Heng's tone was like scolding a group of disobedient children.
Liu Lian lowered his head, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"We... couldn't reach you."
"We thought you..."
He didn't finish, but everyone understood the meaning.
Only they knew how much pressure they had endured during the time the Dean disappeared.
"Thought I was dead?"
Li Heng rolled his eyes.
"What are you thinking? I just went on a business trip, and the signal wasn't very good."
He looked around, at every injured student.
"Stand up straight, all of you."
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
The students didn't understand why, but they still propped themselves up, supporting each other, and stood straight.
Then.
Li Heng raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
"Snap."
A crisp sound.
The next second, a miracle happened.
An invisible golden ripple, centered on Li Heng, spread out like water waves.
The ripple brushed over Liu Lian's body.
His severed arm, at the wound, flesh and blood wriggled, bones grew, and a brand new arm regenerated at a visible speed!
The skin was smooth and full of power.
It was even more perfect than his previous arm!
The ripple brushed over Xie Wangsheng's body.
The hideous wounds on his body healed instantly, leaving no scars.
The bloodstains at the corner of his mouth disappeared.
His pale complexion returned to ruddy.
The ripple swept across the entire Main Peak Plaza.
All injured students, no matter how severe their injuries, recovered to their Peak state at this moment!
No!
They surpassed their Peak!
Not only were their injuries healed, but they also felt their Meridians being re-combed by a gentle yet domineering force.
All hidden injuries left from their cultivation were repaired.
Their Foundation became unprecedentedly stable!
Even their cultivation had subtly advanced!
"This..."
Liu Lian clenched his newly regenerated fist, feeling the surging power within, completely stunned.
"Oh my god... my Golden Core... it seems even more solid!"
"Me too! I feel like my Bottleneck has loosened!"
"What kind of Immortal means is this? Even bringing the dead back to life wouldn't be more than this!"
The entire plaza was in an uproar.
All Kunlun Students looked at the calm-faced Dean with eyes that regarded him as a god.
This was no longer just treatment.
This was the grace of recreation!
And Xu Yuanwu, thrown to the ground, saw all of this, his heart feeling as if it was tightly gripped by an invisible large hand.
With a single thought, healing a thousand people.
Moreover, it wasn't just healing, but also cleansing the Foundation and enhancing cultivation!
What level of power was this?
Undergoing Tribulation Stage?
No!
The Undergoing Tribulation Stage absolutely couldn't do this!
Could it be... the legendary Immortal, whose Legacy had been severed for ten thousand years?!
Fear.
Boundless fear instantly drowned Xu Yuanwu's reason.
He finally understood what kind of existence he had provoked.
Qingyun Immortal Sect?
In front of such an existence, they probably weren't even considered a slightly stronger ant!
He struggled, using all his strength, trying to beg for mercy.
"Se... Senior... spare my life..."
His voice was as unpleasant as a broken bellows.
"I... I was wrong... My Qingyun Immortal Sect is willing to surrender... willing to serve you as a beast of burden..."
To save his life, he abandoned all his dignity.
What Grand Elder, what Peak Undergoing Tribulation, in the face of death, were all nonsense.
Li Heng turned his head and glanced at him.
"Serve as a beast of burden?"
"You damaged my sect's gate and injured my employees, and you think that's enough?"
Xu Yuanwu squeezed out a smile uglier than a cry on his face.
"No... I wouldn't dare... Senior, tell us how you want us to compensate, and we will accept it!"
"As long as you spare my life!"
Li Heng stroked his chin.
"As for compensation, it was calculated just now, one hundred billion Spirit Stones."
"But I've changed my mind now."
Xu Yuanwu's heart rejoiced, thinking the other party was going to let him go.
"Letting you die just like that, or becoming a servant, is too cheap for you."
Li Heng walked up to him and squatted down.
"Don't you like to cause destruction?"
"Then from now on, you'll be responsible for guarding."
Xu Yuanwu looked bewildered.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
Li Heng grinned.
"From today onwards, you are the new Mountain Gate of Kunlun Academy."
After speaking.
Without waiting for Xu Yuanwu to react, he stretched out his hand and began to knead Xu Yuanwu's body as if molding a clay figure.
"Crack... crack..."
A series of bone-shattering and re-forming sounds, making one's teeth ache, rang out.
Xu Yuanwu's body underwent a bizarre transformation in Li Heng's hands.
His limbs were stretched, his body flattened, and then reshaped.
The painful expression on his face was wiped away, replaced by a standardized, festive, and enthusiastic smile.
Golden light surged from within him, dyeing his skin pure gold.
In just over ten seconds.
The once arrogant Peak Undergoing Tribulation Stage powerhouse, Xu Yuanwu, had transformed into a three-meter-tall, gleaming golden statue of the God of Wealth, with a smiling face, holding a gold ingot in his left hand, and making a "welcome" gesture with his right...
A statue of the God of Wealth.
Lifelike.
One could even feel his sealed Divine Soul wailing silently within him.
Li Heng clapped his hands, dusting them off, and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
"Not bad."
"From now on, you'll stand at the Mountain Gate. You can be a Door God and attract wealth. Two birds with one stone."
"Once you pay off that one hundred billion debt with incense offerings from tourists, I'll consider letting you out."
With that, he waved his hand, and the golden God of Wealth Statue transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the ruined Mountain Gate in the distance.
With a "boom," it stood firmly there.
From then on, Kunlun Academy gained a unique scenic spot.
Watching this extremely absurd scene, all the Kunlun Students were dumbfounded.
To mold a Peak Undergoing Tribulation Stage powerhouse into a statue, place it at the entrance as a Door God, and make him pay off debt?
How domineering!
How... unreasonable!
After doing all this, Li Heng seemed to remember something and turned to look at the tens of thousands of Qingyun Immortal Sect Disciples still frozen in the sky.
"Oh, and you little minions."
He snapped his fingers.
"Snap."
The spatial and temporal power that had confined tens of thousands of people instantly dissipated.
The Qingyun Immortal Sect Disciples, like waking from a nightmare, all looked pale and trembled as they gazed at the young man below, who was like a demon god.
Especially when they saw the glittering golden God of Wealth Statue at the Mountain Gate, they were scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
Isn't that... the Grand Elder?!
Li Heng put his hands in his pockets, looked up at them, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Alright, your boss has already paid with his body."
"Now it's your turn."
"Tell me, are you going to pay money to redeem yourselves, or... stay and work together?"
