Chapter 12: Ye Qiubai Descends the Mountain!

Ye Qiubai had already gained strength.

Now that someone wanted to harm him, he naturally had to eliminate them one by one.

Huo Qingming looked at Ye Qiubai with a complex expression, took a pill, and stabilized his injuries.

Only then did he speak, "Ye Yan."

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.

In his impression, he didn't have any deep enmity with this cousin.

Even if there was some conflict, it wasn't a life-and-death feud.

The only possibility was that Ye Yan saw his talent had returned, even stronger than before, and didn't want him to come back!

Something must have happened in the family!

Immediately, Ye Qiubai looked down, but did not see Ye Yan's figure; he must have already fled.

After that, Ye Qiubai encountered no further obstacles.

There were hardly any people who dared to challenge his high platform.

After all, if even Huo Qingming could be defeated, why would they go up to court humiliation?

In the end,

Ye Qiubai was confirmed to participate in the exchange with academies from the other three regions in a month.

At the same time, he received generous rewards.

Qingling Dan, Pofu Dan.

These two pills could help rapidly increase one's cultivation.

Among them, Pofu Dan could help someone break through from the Golden Core stage to the Purple Mansion stage.

These two pills were extremely precious in the outside world.

They could even cause a scramble!

However, Ye Qiubai felt a bit disdainful because compared to the pills his master had given him,

the quality was far inferior!

In the thatched cottage,

Lu Changsheng was being scolded by a group of elders.

The Martial Hall Elder said, "You kid, since you can teach such an excellent disciple like Ye Qiubai, why don't you take in more disciples?"

The Sword Hall Elder said, "If you take in more disciples, it will also contribute to our academy."

Lu Changsheng, full of helplessness, nodded in agreement with the elders while thinking to himself that he must teach that kid Qiubai to be more low-key when he got back.

Qin Tiannan, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh at Lu Changsheng's expression.

"Dear elders, when I figure out my own cultivation, I will naturally take in disciples."

Outside the door, Ye Qiubai heard this and couldn't help but feel disoriented.

In his view, his master's cultivation must be as deep and unfathomable as the heavens.

Being able to produce the Tai Chu Sword Canon, concoct such pills, and casually draw pictures full of sword intent,

and you tell me this is not understanding your own cultivation?

"Oh? Qiubai is here?"

"Then we'll take our leave first, Changsheng, remember what we told you!"

Before leaving, Qin Tiannan left a storage ring.

"The redwood sky gold is in here, I won't ask what you need it for, but make sure to use it sparingly."

After they all left,

Lu Changsheng put away the storage ring and then looked at Ye Qiubai, asking, "What's the matter?"

Ye Qiubai recounted the issue with Ye Yan and shared his suspicions.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng pondered, "So, you want to return to the Ye family?"

Ye Qiubai nodded.

Lu Changsheng glanced over and said, "But you should know that your appearance now might provoke those forces that want to kill you."

Ye Qiubai was naturally aware of this.

Especially knowing that his talent had returned, they would definitely want to eliminate him quickly.

One could say,

if Ye Qiubai returned now, it would be very dangerous.

It could even be said that Tianyuan City was a dragon's den and a tiger's cave.

However,

Ye Qiubai's eyes were firm as he said, "He is still my father, after all.

Moreover, the way of the sword is to move forward courageously; I cannot retreat when it is time to face it."

If Ye Qiubai retreated at this time, it could harm his Dao heart.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go, but break through to the Purple Mansion stage first."

Ye Qiubai nodded. He had already reached the threshold of the Purple Mansion stage before.

Now, after the academy competition, Ye Qiubai had gained new insights and could break through at any time!

Then, Ye Qiubai returned to his room, took the Pofu Dan, and prepared to break through.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng went to the cliffside.

He took out various materials.

The willow tree beside him saw this and asked, "Are you setting up the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Formation?"

Lu Changsheng nodded, "But I'm still missing a bit of Yellow Springs River water as the formation spirit."

"Is that difficult for you?"

The willow branches swayed gently in the wind, ethereally saying, "With your current comprehension of the Dao of the Sword, can't you just break through space and borrow a bit from the Nine Nether Underworld?"

Lu Changsheng had great faith in the willow tree's words.

After all, this willow tree had existed since the formation of the universe.

Since the dawn of chaos and the emergence of the prehistoric world.

No one knew how long this willow tree had existed.

"However, isn't it a bit overkill to use the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Formation to protect this place?

You should know that the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Formation is one of the top ten killing formations of ancient times, capable of annihilating all things in heaven and earth."

Lu Changsheng, however, didn't mind and said, "It's fine, I'm not planning to go out and adventure anyway.

Besides, if my disciple causes trouble in the future and brings it here, we can use this formation to defend ourselves if we can't handle it."

Willow Tree: "..."

Is there really anyone in this world who can defeat you?

Then, Lu Changsheng began to set up the formation.

With a step, he flew into the air.

With a flip of his palm, formation flags shot out one by one!

Each of these formation flags was covered with countless Dao principles!

There were a total of eighty-one such flags, spread across various peaks!

Instantly, waves of Dao power surged into the sky!

With a wave of his hand, Lu Changsheng isolated the aura of this place.

Meanwhile, the materials turned into the foundation of the formation!

Even so, countless deathly auras began to drift around!

Even Ye Qiubai was alarmed, stepping out of his hut and looking at Lu Changsheng in the air with a look of fear!

"What kind of formation is Master setting up... it hasn't even taken shape yet and already has such world-destroying power!"

Ye Qiubai thought that even the elders or Principal Qin Tiannan would be unable to resist this destructive force if they came here!

Now, with just one formation spirit missing, the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Formation could be completely finished!

Lu Changsheng took out a sword and slashed the ground and void!

Instantly, a massive rift was cut open in the void!

From it, strands of nether death energy continuously flowed out.

Then, Lu Changsheng's figure flashed and he leaped into the rift.

The rift closed.

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai returned to his room.

The next day,

an astonishing aura emanated from the house!

The Purple Mansion stage!

Then, leaving a letter, Ye Qiubai took up his wooden sword and headed down the mountain.

Tianyuan City.

Jiang Family.

A stunningly beautiful woman had an icy expression.

Beside her, a lavishly dressed man said, "Don't think about it anymore. So what if he joined the Tibetan Dao Academy and his talent was restored?

Come back with me to the Falling Sun Dynasty. When I ascend to the throne, you'll be the empress."

The woman was Jiang Chan.

She nodded and walked forward.

The man smiled, took Jiang Chan's hand, and boarded the ship behind them.

Immediately, the giant ship soared into the sky and left Tianyuan City...
