Ye Wushuang watched the gestures of the little creature and exclaimed in astonishment, “It’s injured? What happened?”
Chi Yuan’s telepathic voice came again, tinged with a hint of despondency: “When the Ye clan was persecuted, Chi Xuan and I intervened together. However, the result was that Chi Xuan was severely wounded. Over these hundreds of years, her injuries have never healed and have become increasingly worse…”
Chi Yuan’s voice carried a note of dejection.
At that moment, the little creature’s expression also dimmed, and it lowered its head, plopping down onto its father’s brow, looking quite unhappy.
“Take me to see her!”
Ye Wushuang spoke up, “Although I am currently only at the fifth level of the Condensing Meridian realm, I still have considerable experience and knowledge. Perhaps I can find a way.”
“Yes, sir.”
Chi Yuan replied, slowly unfurling its eight wings.
“However, before that, I need to deal with the trouble here first.”
“Yes, sir.”
…
Around the valley, the gale howled fiercely. It took a full incense stick’s time before the storm gradually subsided, and eventually, the tempest completely vanished. The surrounding area for dozens of miles was left in ruins.
Li Changqing, Tang Chuyi, Chu Hongtian, and the others all looked on in astonishment.
As the wind gradually died down, everyone saw the eight-winged red python, hundreds of feet tall with skin like scaled stone, step out of the valley. On top of the python’s head stood Ye Wushuang, dressed in white, with his hands behind his back. The little creature perched on Ye Wushuang’s shoulder.
What… what is going on here?
Everyone was stunned.
The mighty and highly revered Red Python, the guardian spirit, actually… actually allowed Ye Wushuang to stand on its head?
Generally, when a spirit beast allows a human to step on its body or head, it means it has acknowledged the human as its master.
Could it be… the Red Python has acknowledged Ye Wushuang as its master?
Impossible!
This can’t be!
Li Changqing knelt on one knee and bowed, asking, “Red Python, what has happened that you have graced us with your presence?”
However, Chi Yuan did not respond. Instead, it fixed its gaze on Chu Hongtian, Chu Gaoxuan, Qin Yuanhua, Shang Hongbo, and others. With a gentle flap of its wings, a fierce gust of wind howled out, slicing through the air like a blade and producing an ear-piercing sound as it struck towards Chu Hongtian and the others.
“Red Python!”
Chu Hongtian was bewildered.
What was going on?
Why did the Red Python attack them without any warning?
Without time to think, Chu Hongtian clenched his fists, gathered his formidable energy, and unleashed a terrifying aura, launching a punch.
Boom, boom, boom…
But how could Chu Hongtian, at the first level of the Heavenly Gang realm, possibly be a match for Chi Yuan, who was at the Wanfa realm? Even a casual strike from Chi Yuan was enough to kill several people.
The energy of his fist shattered instantly. Chu Hongtian’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, rolling hundreds of feet away with a loud crash.
“Ugh…”
The ground collapsed, and Chu Hongtian tumbled to the ground, spitting out more blood. He felt as if all his bones had been shattered by the wind blades.
The other elders, who were at the Yuanfu realm, were directly sliced into minced meat by the wind blades and died a miserable death.
“Red Python!”
Chu Hongtian was completely stunned.
What was happening?
At that moment, Ye Wushuang saw that Chi Yuan’s attack not only severely injured Chu Hongtian and killed Chu Gaoxuan, Qin Yuanhua, and Shang Hongbo but also took the lives of Chao Ping and Wan Tianlong.
Ye Wushuang was taken aback and said, “There was no need to kill those two elders and more than ten mentors…”
Chi Yuan replied, “As elders and mentors of the Qingyun Academy, they ignored the bullying of the freshmen and deserved death. Seeing Lord Ye being bullied and not offering help, they deserved death even more.”
…
Although Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan were originally subdued by the first-generation dean of the Qingyun Academy, after the dean’s demise, the academy could no longer control them and had to suppress the couple. It was only when Ye Wentian appeared and rescued them that they were freed. Moreover, as Ye Wentian grew stronger, Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan came to respect and adore him as their master.
“No unnecessary killing!”
“I won’t do it again,” Chi Yuan responded.
At this moment, Li Changqing and Tang Chuyi were still stunned, as were Wang Xueqi, Xiao Yuan, and Qing Chengtian.
Ye Wushuang looked down and smiled, “Vice Dean Li, Elder Tang, please take care of my three friends for a while. I have urgent matters to attend to and will return to continue the trial after I’m done.”
With that, Chi Yuan took to the wind, its eight wings spread wide, carrying Ye Wushuang as they soared into the sky and disappeared into the distance.
However, just as the massive eight-winged red python was about to vanish, more wind blades descended from the heavens above, striking the mortally wounded Chu Hongtian and ending his life…
At this point, Li Changqing and Tang Chuyi were truly bewildered.
