28: Swing the sword to slay the demon! Luo Yuzhu was shocked!

Because the cages holding the Pill Slaves had all been broken open by Li Shengyuan, everyone was desperately running outside, and the scene was incredibly chaotic.

Watching this, Li Shengyuan’s lips curved into a satisfied smile.

The more chaotic, the better; this was exactly the effect he wanted!

He smirked disdainfully at the two people chasing him, then rushed towards the exit he had already found, shouting at the people fleeing into the underground secret chamber:

“The exit is here! Follow me!”

Immediately, everyone who could still run swarmed towards the exit where Li Shengyuan was.

The guards wanted to capture them, but the hundreds of imprisoned people instantly became a chaotic mess, leaving the guards feeling powerless.

With Li Shengyuan’s interference, it became even harder for them to do anything.

“Wang Bo” gave the Demon Cult members a meaningful smile before rushing into a passage and disappearing.

The two Fourth Rank experts were trembling with rage, their faces pale.

It’s over, it’s all over. With Wang Bo, that dog, causing such a ruckus, they’re definitely going to be exposed.

This stronghold definitely couldn’t be saved. Who would have thought there was a traitor here…

The two exchanged bitter smiles, both seeing the same thought in the other’s eyes.

Then, the Fourth Rank Qi Refiner said with a somber face, cupping his fists, “Fellow Daoist, this place is not suitable for a long stay. Qi Refiner Fang will take his leave first. If we meet again someday, let us dismember Wang Bo together!”

“Take care.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disregarded the chaotic scene and rushed into one of the passages, disappearing from sight.

The burly Fourth Rank Martial Artist watched his retreating back with a grim expression, then glanced at the chaotic underground secret chamber before also rushing into one of the passages and disappearing.

This place had been exposed; there was no need to maintain it any longer. With that dog Wang Bo causing trouble, the Great Qian’s experts would surely arrive immediately.

By then, their concern wouldn’t be about the stronghold, but about whether they could escape the capital and save their lives…

The earlier they ran, the greater their chance of survival!

Both of them hated that dog “Wang Bo” to death!

At this moment, “Wang Bo”, after leveling one of Minister Sun’s pavilions with a single palm and causing a huge commotion, had already been taken to a secluded spot by Li Shengyuan and incinerated into nothingness by the Pure Yang Fire of his Nascent Soul.

As long as he never reappeared, the Demon Cult would always believe that he, the traitor, had betrayed them.

If this continued, the news of a Demon Cult branch beneath the Shangshu Mansion would become common knowledge!

This dog was definitely going to die. He would then deliver one last killing blow to Minister Sun to silence him…

Li Shengyuan’s lips curled slightly, and his Pure Yang Nascent Soul transformed into a streak of light, rapidly returning to his body.

He couldn’t let those two Fourth Rank Demon Cult members escape!

These were all his achievements!

After his Pure Yang Nascent Soul entered his body, Li Shengyuan transformed into a streak of light and rapidly returned to the well’s entrance.

At the entrance, Li Xinghe, who had been idly writing with the Cangsheng Brush without any reaction, was overjoyed to see his elder brother rush out of the well and immediately went to greet him.

He wanted to call out to his elder brother, but saw Li Shengyuan fly away without looking back…

Li Xinghe immediately stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded. “B-Brother… is he abandoning me?”

“B-Brush Grandpa, will Brother come back?!”

The Cangsheng Brush trembled slightly, calming the panic in Li Xinghe’s heart and telling him to be patient.

Li Xinghe seemed to understand the Cangsheng Brush’s meaning. He continued to sit in his original spot, suppressing his inner anxiety, and nodded, saying:

“Alright, then I’ll wait a little longer…”

At this moment, Li Shengyuan had already pursued the two Fourth Rank Demon Cult members by following the marks he had left on them.

It was just that these two guys were quite clever, knowing to run in separate directions!

However, the commotion here had already shaken the entire capital. It wouldn’t be long before experts surrounded the area, making escape difficult…

Li Shengyuan chased after the closest person, and the direction he was fleeing in was actually towards Black White Academy!

He most likely wanted to abduct a student as a hostage to escape the capital.

Li Shengyuan didn’t know whether to call him smart or foolish!

There were many experts in Black White Academy. Even if he could abduct a hostage, it wouldn’t be of much use.

As the Dean, a Grand Confucian of the Upper Third Rank, his ‘Words Become Law’ was no joke!

However, this was also a last resort for him…

Li Shengyuan’s speed was very fast, and he quickly caught up with the person in front, who was the Fourth Rank Qi Refiner Fang.

“Demon Cult scoundrel, stop!” Li Shengyuan shouted at his retreating back.

Qi Refiner Fang’s expression instantly changed. “I just ran out, why are the Great Qian’s experts here so quickly?!”

“Almost there! As long as I grab one or two, there’s still a glimmer of hope!”

But his body, still flying through the air, suddenly trembled. His face completely darkened as he looked at the robed woman holding a long sword in front of him.

“Upper Fourth Rank Nascent Soul… Where did this demon come from, daring to act so presumptuously in my Black White Academy!” Luo Yuzhu coldly shouted at him, her face frosty.

Qi Refiner Fang’s face was incredibly grim. If that damn dog hadn’t shouted from behind, with his concealment technique, he wouldn’t have been discovered so quickly!

It’s over now…

“I’ll fight to the death!”

Qi Refiner Fang was forced to stop his movements, gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath with a grim expression.

Then, he waved his hand, and a dark banner appeared in his grasp.

As he shook it, the roar of resentful spirits and the wailing of vengeful ghosts instantly enveloped a hundred-meter radius!

“Myriad Soul Banner!” Luo Yuzhu’s face completely turned cold. The person before her was an out-and-out Demon Cult fiend!

Judging by the darkness of this Myriad Soul Banner and the depth of its resentment, at least thousands of people had been sacrificed!

Luo Yuzhu coldly declared, “How dare you act presumptuously in my academy’s place of pure cultivation! I will not spare you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yuzhu raised the three-foot-long sword in her hand, circulating sharp spiritual energy, and was about to swing her sword to shatter his Myriad Soul Banner!

Qi Refiner Fang also gritted his teeth, manipulating the resentful spirits and vengeful ghosts within the banner to unleash their strongest attack!

And just then, Li Shengyuan’s soft chuckle reached their ears.

“This demon dares to cause chaos within the capital’s borders, so he falls under the jurisdiction of my Demon Suppression Division. There’s no need for Fairy Luo to trouble herself!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching blade light descended from above the two of them, slashing down onto the several-zhang-large resentful spirit and vengeful ghost!

“Demon Suppression Division?!”

Qi Refiner Fang’s face changed drastically. After exclaiming, he quickly manipulated the resentful spirit to resist.

But it was still easily cut in two!

His face also turned pale, clearly suffering from the backlash of the injured resentful spirit.

Although the Myriad Soul Banner’s resentful spirits merged back together, they were much weaker than before.

Luo Yuzhu’s eyes narrowed at this sight, and her expression gradually became solemn. Looking at the man standing in mid-air before her, she was naturally very familiar with him.

“Li Shengyuan?!”

Li Shengyuan turned back and smiled faintly at her, “It’s been many days since we last met, I didn’t expect Fairy Luo to still remember me.”

“It’s truly thanks to Fairy Luo for stopping this demon for me. Otherwise, if he had broken into the academy, it would have been difficult to explain!” Li Shengyuan cupped his hands in thanks.

Luo Yuzhu retracted her long sword and said coolly, “Protecting the academy is also my duty.”

Looking at Li Shengyuan, who wore a faint smile, Luo Yuzhu was already incredibly astonished!

Ten days ago, his Daoist cultivation was only at the peak of Fifth Rank Golden Core, but now he had actually advanced to the Upper Fourth Rank Nascent Soul Realm!

Even his artistic conception had improved significantly within just ten days!

To make such great progress in ten days, was this what it meant to be a top-tier genius?

Even Luo Yuzhu, who was confident in her own talent, felt a sense of inferiority at this moment.

Recalling his words about challenging her master, Luo Yuzhu couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

He really should be able to…

Just as she was in a daze, Li Shengyuan, holding his long saber, had already gathered his qi and artistic conception to their peak, preparing to strike at Qi Refiner Fang again.

“Demon, take another one of my strikes!”
