Chapter 90: What Is Minister Professor Yu?
Silence!
At the entrance of the canyon, the only sounds left were the whispering wind and the rushing sound of blood!
A ninth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator was killed with just one glance, and the one who killed him was a sixth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator, a difference of two small realms.
In their view, a major realm is almost impossible to surpass, and while a minor realm can be crossed, they had never seen anyone like Yi Qianmo, who could kill an opponent in a single strike.
This brought great shock to everyone present, but the only calm person was Guan Shanqing.
Because he knew that Yi Qianmo had previously slain a monkey king with the power comparable to a third-grade spirit beast, although he did not know that the monkey king’s power was not that strong.
But to him, Yi Qianmo, who had reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, could easily kill a ninth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator.
"With one strike, he defeated a ninth-level Qi Refining Stage warrior!"
"What kind of skills is he practicing? Could he be from one of the four great sects?"
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted. They looked at Yi Qianmo with awe, while the remaining seven cultivators instinctively took a step back.
In their eyes, only cultivators from the four great sects could challenge someone like Yi Qianmo because their training methods were different.
But even cultivators from the four great sects could not defeat someone like Yi Qianmo in a single strike.
In the distance, Xu Zhou and Li Feng were trembling. If a ninth-level Qi Refining Stage warrior could be defeated with one strike, they were not safe at all.
"Return all the items you have robbed from them, and I will spare your lives!"
Yi Qianmo raised his sword and pointed it at the eight cultivators before him, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present looked surprised. If these people returned everything they took, it would mean that the eight cultivators would be unable to enter Tianyuan Academy.
Because they did not hunt, there were no animals to catch. Without animals, there were no points, and without points, there were no rankings.
"Do you know what kind of consequences your actions will bring?"
The remaining ninth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator looked at Yi Qianmo in fear and said, "We were chosen by Minister Professor Yu. If you kill Xiao Xiao, you will offend Minister Professor Yu. Even if you manage to enter Tianyuan Academy, you will not have a good outcome!"
"Hmm?"
Yi Qianmo said coldly, "So, you mean that you are here on the orders of Minister Professor Yu?"
"What do you think gave us such boldness?"
The cultivator said, "You have already offended Minister Professor Yu by killing Xiao Xiao. However, if you are sensible, we can act as if nothing ever happened here."
"Oh."
Yi Qianmo smiled and said, "So you are people of Minister Professor Yu!"
Yi Qianmo had previously seen the fighting in the Cloud Boat, and after the big exam, the royal family would compete with the Mansion Master for the top ten students.
The more one can compete for, the higher their prestige within Tianyuan Academy, which could greatly influence the future of the academy.
To outsiders, being able to win more and better students means having more resources and strength!
Everyone wants to join the side with greater resources and strength, and not choose the weaker side.
Minister Professor Yu had these eight set up a trap here to catch the most prey, so when it came time to choose, they could all be thrown into the Mansion Master’s group, which would deal a huge blow to the royal family.
Thinking of this, Yi Qianmo smiled; he would obviously not let Minister Professor Yu have his way.
"Do you know Minister Professor Yu?"
The leader of the cultivators said, "It’s good that you know him. We can pretend we didn’t see what happened here, and you and Guan Shanqing can enter the gathering place right now!"
Upon hearing this, the people present showed disappointed expressions. If it were them, they would certainly not choose to go against a Minister Professor from Tianyuan Academy.
As for the dark rules within the academy, they did not care much; this was already very familiar to them.
"Of course I know him!"
Yi Qianmo smiled and said, "What does Minister Professor Yu mean to me? Why should I show him any respect?"
Upon hearing this, not only the seven who were set to guard could not believe it.
The other students around were also stunned; could this person really be crazy to directly insult a Minister Professor?
The leader of the cultivators stared at him and shouted, "What did you just say? Do you know the consequences of Minister Professor Yu hearing this?"
"I do not know what the consequences of Minister Professor Yu hearing this will be, but I know that if you do not follow my instructions, you might not even have a chance to complain!"
Yi Qianmo raised his sword and smiled at them slightly.
His smile made the seven guarding cultivators feel uneasy; someone who could kill a ninth level Qi Refining Stage cultivator was certainly not to be underestimated.
They joined hands, and perhaps they really had a chance to defeat Yi Qianmo. However, since Yi Qianmo could slay a ninth-level Qi Refining Stage opponent with a single sword strike, that meant they had no chance of killing Yi Qianmo unless they fought to the death.
But fighting to the death meant that before they could kill Yi Qianmo, he could at least take out more than half of them.
But no one wanted to be the one who would end up buried.
After a long silence, they made a decision to take out all the things they had gathered. The leader of the cultivators reluctantly said, "Just wait. Even if you can enter Tianyuan Academy, you won’t have a good outcome. We’re leaving!"
As they watched them leave, Yi Qianmo finally put away his sword.
Everyone present looked at Yi Qianmo. They didn’t dare to pick up the items on the ground because they didn’t believe Yi Qianmo would kindly return those things to them.
Just then, Yi Qianmo glanced at them and said, "Take back your own things. If you dare to steal from others, this guy on the ground is what will happen to you."
He had no interest in these materials. With what he had obtained, he could easily claim the first place, after all, he had defeated a monkey king.
The people present immediately stepped forward to take their materials, feeling both awe and gratitude towards Yi Qianmo. Although they received these materials, it didn’t mean they could necessarily make it into the top ten.
But at least they had hope.
The people waiting behind also felt grateful to Yi Qianmo. Many of them had hidden abilities, and showing them would mean revealing their strengths.
Only Xu Zhou and Li Feng looked pale. At that moment, they regretted causing trouble for Yi Qianmo. If they had not said anything, everything would have been fine.
Just then, Yi Qianmo’s gaze fell on the two of them. Xu Zhou reacted quickly, kneeling on the ground and crawling to him. He kept bowing his head and said, "Master Su, we didn’t recognize your greatness. I apologize. Please, for my hard work in training, spare us."
Yi Qianmo ignored him. He didn’t really have a grudge against Xu Zhou. Now that the other man was bowing to him, what more could he say?
He looked at Guan Shanqing and said, "Handle them."
Guan Shanqing was stunned for a moment, then he turned to look at Xu Zhou and Li Feng on the ground, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh.
He kicked both of them and said, "Get lost!"
The two of them hurriedly fled, and once they were gone, Yi Qianmo said, "Aren’t you afraid they will seek revenge later?"
"I never thought about it."
Guan Shanqing said, "I let them go. They can’t repay kindness with hate, can they?"
"There are many people in this world who repay kindness with hate."
Yi Qianmo laughed.
"Then, Brother Su, what would you do?" Guan Shanqing sighed, "You can’t just kill them all, right!"
"Me?"
Yi Qianmo turned his head, glanced at him, and said coldly, "You’re right. If it were me, I would definitely kill them. If someone wants to kill me, I will surely kill them first!"
