495: Fight today, fight tomorrow

“Young Master Su, we have arrived!”

The Elder from Immortal Spirit Academy respectfully said.

Su Changqing nodded.

Then, the Immortal Boat landed, and Su Changqing and Mu Ruoxi stepped down.

Below, a group of Immortal Spirit Academy Vice Deans and Elders were all there to greet him.

The one leading them was naturally Xue Feng Immortal Reverend.

Befriending Su Changqing back then was the most correct decision he had made in his life.

Now, as Su Changqing’s influence in the Immortal Realm soared, his status in Immortal Spirit Academy also rose sharply, and those Vice Deans and Elders held him in awe.

“Young Master Su, long time no see!”

Xue Feng Immortal Reverend walked forward with a smile to greet him, very familiar.

He had now advanced to Immortal Reverend Late Stage, considered one of the top powerhouses in the Immortal Realm.

However, in front of Su Changqing, he was still very respectful.

He knew that even if he was an Immortal Venerable Pinnacle, he probably would not be Su Changqing’s opponent.

After all, Su Changqing’s battle achievements resounded throughout the entire Immortal Realm; no one was unaware.

With a phrase like 'battle achievements can be checked,' who would dare to be presumptuous?

“Xue Feng Immortal Reverend, long time no see.”

Su Changqing replied with a smile.

“This time, I’ve troubled Young Master Su to come and rescue us. It’s truly because that Immortal Beast tide is too terrifying. It’s said there are even a few Immortal Beasts at the Immortal Venerable Pinnacle realm within it, with terrifying strength. Even the Dean has come out of seclusion.”

No sooner had Xue Feng Immortal Reverend finished speaking than a figure slowly walked over from not far away.

He had a kind expression, a white beard, and looked somewhat aged, as if his Lifespan was short. He wore a plain grey cloth robe, nothing extraordinary, but his body seemed to contain an extraordinary Qi.

Seeing the newcomer, everyone quickly bowed.

“Greetings, Dean!”

This person was the Dean of Immortal Spirit Academy, Immortal Reverent Xuan!

Su Changqing also looked over curiously; this was his first meeting with the Dean of Immortal Spirit Academy.

“Young Master Su, I’ve long admired your name. I am Immortal Reverent Xuan. This Immortal Beast tide has truly troubled Young Master Su for your help.”

Immortal Reverent Xuan spoke with a smile.

Su Changqing smiled slightly and bowed in respect.

“Immortal Reverent Xuan is too polite.”

Although this person appeared to be in his twilight years, Su Changqing could sense that his strength was not weak; among Immortal Venerable Pinnacle powerhouses, he was considered top-tier.

“I have estimated that this Immortal Beast tide will arrive in two days. At that time, I hope Young Master Su will lend a hand.”

“No problem!”

After the two conversed for a while, Immortal Reverent Xuan invited him into the main hall for a banquet.

During this period, Immortal Spirit Academy had also continuously issued rescue orders to the outside world. Most of the graduating students who received the rescue orders would return to help, and even some forces also came to assist.

At the banquet.

Immortal Reverent Xuan sat in the main seat, while Su Changqing and Mu Ruoxi sat below him.

“Thank you, Young Master Su, for coming to help. This toast is for you!”

All the Vice Deans and Elders raised their cups.

Su Changqing smiled, raised his wine cup, and then drank it all.

Soon, everyone drank freely and became more familiar.

Immortal Reverent Xuan took a sip of wine, then hesitated slightly before speaking:

“This Immortal Beast tide is truly baffling. The Immortal Beasts in the Fallen Immortal Forest have always been quite stable, and there hasn't been such a situation for hundreds of thousands of years.”

Su Changqing looked up at Immortal Reverent Xuan, then smiled and said:

“I guess this matter should be related to the emergence of ancient gods.”

“Recently, ancient gods will emerge soon. At that time, the Immortal Realm will likely face a major upheaval!”

As Su Changqing’s words fell, the faces of the Vice Deans and Elders were filled with disbelief.

Xue Feng Immortal Reverend said tremblingly:

“Young Master Su, this can't be true, can it? Are those ancient gods really coming?”

“Yes, yes, are the ancient gods really coming?”

“My heavens, if that’s true, it would be a catastrophe.”

“.......”

Xue Feng Immortal Reverend and the Elders were all shocked.

They had learned about the terror of ancient gods from ancient records.

They originally thought that after the Immortal Realm had been quiet for so long, such a thing should not happen.

Unexpectedly, they really encountered it.

A slight misstep could lead to their demise.

Su Changqing glanced at Immortal Reverent Xuan, then smiled slightly, picked up his wine cup, and took a sip.

“Indeed, but you don’t need to worry too much; they haven’t emerged yet.”

He chuckled, with a hint of playfulness in his words.

But everyone still frowned tightly, unable to smile.

Who the hell could remain calm in this situation?

On the main seat, Immortal Reverent Xuan suddenly spoke:

“Young Master Su, if this is truly the work of ancient gods, this matter is probably not simple. How about you and I go to the depths of the Fallen Immortal Forest together tomorrow to investigate?”

Immortal Reverent Xuan extended the invitation, and Su Changqing put down his wine cup, smiling slightly:

“Of course!”

“Good!”

The two made an agreement, and then continued to drink together.

However, knowing the news that ancient gods were about to descend, the Vice Deans and Elders were clearly not as relaxed; a hint of solemnity had appeared in their thoughts.

After drinking with everyone, Su Changqing and Mu Ruoxi were settled in a courtyard, which had a rather nice environment.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered.

“Tomorrow you’re going to the depths of the Fallen Immortal Forest with him? I’ll go with you.”

Mu Ruoxi said.

She and Su Changqing were now in the same boat; if Su Changqing was in any danger, she would naturally not end well either.

Su Changqing said with a smile:

“You naturally have to go, but don’t go with me.”

“Hm?”

Mu Ruoxi was stunned, somewhat puzzled.

Su Changqing explained with a smile:

“Tomorrow, Immortal Reverent Xuan and I will go first. After we leave, you can secretly follow.”

Mu Ruoxi nodded upon hearing this.

“Okay!”

“Alright, it’s getting late, time to rest.”

Su Changqing smiled slightly, then picked up Mu Ruoxi and gently placed her on the bed.

Mu Ruoxi’s face immediately flushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

She spat.

“There’s going to be a big battle tomorrow, and you’re still thinking about these things today.”

Su Changqing, however, ignored her. He said with a grin:

“Today we discuss the Dao and cultivate; tomorrow we fight. It doesn’t interfere, doesn’t interfere.”

Mu Ruoxi: “......”

Fine!

This guy was simply unreasonable.

Of course, she didn’t intend to argue.

The two cultivated the Dao in the room. Su Changqing taught her some secret cultivation methods, all exclusive secret arts that only those closest to him would know.

.......

“Dean, isn’t it too risky for you to go to the depths of the Fallen Immortal Forest tomorrow? Those Immortal Beasts are not weak; there are even a few Immortal Beasts at the Immortal Venerable Pinnacle realm.”

Xue Feng Immortal Reverend and several Vice Deans tried to dissuade him together.

Immortal Reverent Xuan smiled faintly upon hearing this:

“No matter, mere Immortal Beasts are nothing to fear.”

The few of them exchanged glances. Seeing Immortal Reverent Xuan so confident, they no longer tried to persuade him.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Everyone, go back.”

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Watching the departing figures, Immortal Reverent Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance with a calm expression.
