82: Cao, you traitor, you betrayed your master and ancestors, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you?

"Yes, I shall strictly follow the Holy Lord's command," Void Sword Walker declared loudly, a look of triumph on his face.

"Holy Lord?"

Cao Meng had been preoccupied with pummeling the child of destiny's grandfather and hadn't heard the words spoken by the Guardian Sacred Spirit.

"What, Holy Lord?" Xiao Changtian, who was rolling on the ground in pain, also stopped rolling and looked at Void Sword Walker in shock.

Void Sword Walker quickly said: "Holy Lord, the Guardian Sacred Spirit appeared just now and personally conferred upon you the title of Heaven-Chosen Holy Master of White Deer Academy."

"That's right, Cao Meng..."

At this moment, the withered yellow gourd vine clinging to the nearby cliff suddenly shook, and then a small yellow flower blooming on it dropped, condensing into the figure of a Black-Robed Person out of thin air.

The figure was indistinct; it vaguely looked like a woman, but not quite.

"Profound Heavenly Spiritual Root Incarnation?"

Cao Meng was immediately startled, and simultaneously threw an Appraisal Technique over.

Name: You

Profound Heavenly Spiritual Root Incarnation, Guardian Spirit of White Deer Academy. Formed at the dawn of creation. The main body possesses incredible Divine Abilities. Due to limitations imposed by the rules of heaven and earth, the main body is extremely difficult to move.

Cultivation: Undying Emperor Realm [Main Body]

Cultivation: Peak God Emperor [Spiritual Flower Incarnation]

destiny value: ??? [Cannot be Plundered]

"Greetings, Lord Holy Spirit!" Void Sword Walker quickly bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Lord Holy Spirit!" Xuanyuan Baiying and Fairy Xue Yue also saluted together.

"Mhm." The Lord Holy Spirit nodded slightly, but Its gaze never left Cao Meng.

"Since you were recognized by the immeasurable sword gourd, you are the new Heaven-Chosen Holy Master of White Deer Academy. If you encounter anything you cannot resolve in the future, you may come find Me. I can protect you for a period of time, at least."

"Ah, yes!"

Cao Meng was overjoyed. Unlike the Chi Ling Demon Empress, whose cultivation had been beaten back to its original state, this individual before him was a genuine Undying Emperor Realm Expert.

With this powerful backer, dealing with those children of destiny would certainly be much easier in the future.

"Mhm~"

The Lord Holy Spirit softly hummed, turning back into the small yellow flower and reattaching itself to the gourd vine.

"Guardian Sacred Spirit, Holy Lord..."

Xiao Changtian endured the pain, climbing up from the ground with a look of unwillingness, staring at Cao Meng, his face full of resentment.

Although he was petty, he was not a fool. On the contrary, he knew very well that with the protection of this Guardian Spirit, White Deer Academy was no longer a place that he, the chief disciple of qingyun, could bully at will.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect would certainly not fall out with White Deer Academy over this matter.

He immediately walked up to Cao Meng, bowed deeply, and reluctantly said: "Senior Brother Cao, I was blind and offended you earlier. I beg Senior Brother to be merciful and withdraw this strand of True Fire!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Cao." Fairy Xue Yue also chimed in: "Senior Brother Xiao has already been punished, so this matter should..."

"Withdraw it? That's impossible."

As Cao Meng spoke, he raised his hand and patted Xiao Changtian's chest.

The searing pain of the fire on Xiao Changtian's body instantly vanished without a trace.

"Your character is too poor. I don't trust you, so this strand of True Fire will remain in your body for now," Cao Meng sneered. "Behave well. When you satisfy me, I will spare you."

"You~" Xiao Changtian was furious.

You are holding my life in your hands and treating me like a slave to be driven!

However, meeting Cao Meng's unfriendly gaze, the old fellow chickened out and slowly lowered his head.

At the same time, his grandson's words echoed in his mind: 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Do not bully a young man for being poor...'

... On the other side, outside White Deer Academy.

The other five experts of the Seven Beauties of Qingyun met up with the siblings Xu Tian and Xu Fenghua.

As soon as Qin Ming Daoist, one of the Seven Beauties, saw everyone arrive, he quickly said: "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, the Great Master Sister has sent a message. That Cao Meng and Void Sword Walker indeed have problems. The Great Master Sister and Great Master Brother are currently dealing with them. We must go in and support them immediately!"

"Quickly! White Deer Academy is their territory. We must not delay!"

"Let's go!"

"Junior Sister Fenghua, Xu Tian, let's go together!" Qin Ming mounted his immortal sword and declared righteously: "Today, we shall flatten this White Deer Demon Den!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qin. Junior Brother, let's go!"

Xu Fenghua waved her hand, and the red silk sash wrapped around her waist flew out. She then pulled Xu Tian, leaped onto the purple ribbon, and, flying as if riding a sword, caught up with the Five Experts of Qingyun.

Seemingly sensing Xu Tian's unease, Xu Fenghua whispered a comforting message: "Junior Brother, don't worry. Every one of the Seven Beauties of Qingyun is an exceptional talent, a Dragon and Phoenix among men. Even the weakest among us is at the Mid-stage Saint Domain, and any one of us ranks among the top three on the qingyun immortal ranking. When all seven combine our strength, we are unrivaled within the Eastern Continent."

"Sister, I'm not scared."

Xu Tian shook his head, a cold smirk appearing on his lips. "Thief Cao, you stole my Opportunity and took my woman. This time, I'll watch how you die!"

"Open!"

Daoist Qin Ming rushed ahead of the White Deer mountain protection array, vigorously swinging the immortal sword in his hand.

A streak of purple Sword Qi, about half a kilometer long, swept out.

Boom~

The great array was instantly torn open, leaving a huge gap.

"Looks impressive but useless." Qin Ming snorted lightly and rushed in first.

After the seven entered White Deer Academy, they traveled at lightning speed. In just a moment, the Deans Residence was before their eyes.

Looking closely,

they saw Cao Meng, Void Sword Walker, Xuanyuan Baiying, Fairy Xue Yue, and Xiao Changtian sitting around a tea table in the garden pavilion of the Deans Residence, leisurely sipping fragrant tea.

"They haven't started fighting yet. Senior Brother and Senior Sister are quite good at acting."

Daoist Qin Ming curled his lips into a sneer.

"You all arrived quite quickly," Void Sword Walker chuckled. "Since you're here, come on down."

Swish, swish, swish.

The Five Experts of Qingyun landed one after another, surrounding the small pavilion.

Xiao Changtian and Fairy Xue Yue also stood up.

"Senior Brother and Senior Sister, there is no need to pretend cooperation with the demons anymore!" Daoist Qin Ming said, and the murderous intent of the Five Experts simultaneously locked onto Cao Meng and the sword puppet Void Sword Walker.

"I say, everyone, what is the meaning of this?"

Cao Meng looked at the Five Experts of Qingyun and the siblings Xu Fenghua and Xu Tian with a playful smile:

"Oh, Xu Tian? Have all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters captured this little devil? That's truly wonderful news."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian burst into wild laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world:

"Hahaha, Thief Cao, I truly overestimated you. Couldn't you tell that the two Senior Brother and Senior Sister were just stalling for time with you?"

Cao Meng said in surprise: "Oh, stalling for time?"

"Kid, I'll tell you the truth. Senior Sister Snow Moon saw through your background long ago. This Void Sword Walker is nothing more than your Demonic Path Puppet, and you are just a small devil possessed by the female demon Chi Ling!"

Xu Tian grew increasingly smug as he spoke: "Thief Cao, look clearly! Standing before you are the Seven Immortals of Qingyun. Any one of them can kill you, and when the seven of them form an array, they are invincible!"

Seeing that Cao Meng still didn't speak, the fellow became even more delighted: "Thief Cao, I bet you never thought you'd have a day like this! You defected to the demons and betrayed your masters and ancestors. Next year today will be your death anniversary!"

"Fairy Xue Yue, please make your move and help White Deer Academy purge this traitor!" Having said this, he bowed deeply toward Fairy Xue Yue.

"Alright!"

Fairy Xue Yue snorted lightly, aiming the demon subduing mirror in her palm at Xu Tian... "Wretch, reveal your true form immediately!"
