Due to the huge commotion outside, everyone thought that Zhang Shi had been discovered by the Skyleaf King, and a battle had broken out.
Yet, two monsters had appeared instead, and neither of them resembled a human. What was going on?
Weren't they the only ones in the Saint Ascension Hall?
"This... isn't a thing, it's... Zhang Shi!" President Han seemed to have noticed something, and he gulped down a mouthful of saliva. "Look at his clothes, they are identical to Zhang Shi's. However, it seems like... he has been struck by lightning!"
"Indeed, he is indeed Zhang Shi. Just that... who is that flat-faced fellow at the front?" Wu Shi nodded in agreement. At the same time, he was perplexed by the sight before him.
The flat-faced fellow at the front was wearing the same clothes as Zhang Shi, and his physique was identical as well. However, given how flattened his face was, he would have long been dead by now. How could he still run?
Furthermore, how could he run so quickly? In fact, even Zhang Shi was having trouble catching up to him.
"I'll kill you all!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed by the sight before him, a towering Primordial Spirit suddenly flew over from the corner behind the duo. As it chased after the duo, it launched a barrage of attacks, causing the ground to tremble.
"Skyleaf King? His... Primordial Spirit has left his body. This is bad, hurry up and save him! "
Seeing this sight, the crowd couldn't care less about who the duo was anymore. They hurriedly whipped out their weapons.
Huala!
"Rise!"
Following Wu Shi's command, the crowd swiftly gathered their weapons together, forming a dazzling rain of swords that pierced toward the Skyleaf King.
"How dare you stop me? All of you shall die!"
Roaring furiously, the Skyleaf King's Primordial Spirit raised its palm and blocked the rain of swords before smacking them down.
Deng deng deng deng!
Wu Shi and the others were forced to retreat eight steps. Their blood and Qi churned furiously, and their faces paled.
Previously, when the Skyleaf King hadn't even left his body, they were already no match for him. Now that he had gone berserk and only had his Primordial Spirit left, how could they possibly withstand his attacks?
Nevertheless, even though they weren't a match for the Skyleaf King, they did manage to slow down the Skyleaf King's speed, allowing Zhang Xuan and his clone to arrive before the crowd.
"Hurry up and enter the formation!"
Zhang Xuan knew that if they were to stand in the way, they would most likely be killed. He shouted and continued to charge forward.
The crowd also understood what was going on, and they quickly followed him into the formation outside the residence.
As soon as he entered, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Pie Face, who was not far away, and his eyebrows twitched in anger.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, he would have taught him a lesson long ago.
As a clone, instead of saving the main body, it ran even faster than the main body. How shameless!
"Go back to the Hive first. I'll settle the score with you later …"
Knowing that this wasn't the time to be saying such things, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and kept the Myriad Anthive Nest.
Weng!
Shortly after he was done, a light buzz sounded. Vice School Head Ji Yan had already activated the formation, and a brilliant light shrouded the surroundings.
This formation had been set up by the survivors, and it was specifically designed to fend off the Skyleaf King's assault. As such, they were already extremely familiar with it, and they were able to activate it in an instant.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Blocked by the formation, the Skyleaf King bellowed furiously. Following which, the crowd felt the formation trembling intensely. Violent energy surged relentlessly toward the formation, threatening to shatter it at any moment.
"At this rate, the formation won't be able to hold on for long …"
After being attacked several times, Vice School Head Ji Yan's face paled, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
While the Skyleaf King had attacked the formation before, he hadn't done so recklessly. If he had done so earlier, the formation would have been destroyed long ago!
"There are only a few of us here, so the Skyleaf King won't kill us before finding a way out. Otherwise, it would be too lonely to be here alone. Yet, for him to act so abnormally … Zhang Shi, what did you do? "
Vice School Head Ji Yan shook his head as he turned to look at the charred young man.
What kind of monstrous deed did the other party have to do for the Skyleaf King to draw out his Primordial Spirit and charge over without any regard for his own life?
"I … only destroyed his physical body …" Zhang Xuan replied awkwardly.
His clone was the one who had caused the mess, and that fellow could have just hid in the Hive. On the other hand, he had to clean up the mess himself. The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt.
"Destroyed his physical body?"
"You … killed him? Only his Primordial Spirit is left? "
Everyone was stunned.
They had been thinking that it was just a Grand Intermittence Grass, so there was no need for Zhang Xuan's Primordial Spirit to go all out … Who could have thought that he would actually end up destroying the other party's physical body?
Leaving Aperture realm experts were extremely protective of their physical body, and it could be said that their physical body was their lifeblood. For him to destroy the other party's physical body … Putting aside the Otherworldly Demon King, even they would surely go berserk if they were to see such a sight!
"I wasn't paying attention either. It was an accident … an accident!"
Seeing the horrified looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan hurriedly explained.
If only he could restrain himself a little more, his clone wouldn't have acted so recklessly. He had really gotten himself into huge trouble this time around.
"An accident …"
The faces of the crowd reddened. If they could, they would have pummeled the fellow before them.
For a Nascent Saint cultivator like you to accidentally destroy the physical body of a Saint 5-dan expert … That was already ridiculous enough, and it was an accident!
If you had been a little more careless, even Kong Shi would have been tortured to death by you!
"Let's not worry about that for now. We need to stabilize the formation, or else we'll all die here …"
Taking a few deep breaths to alleviate the stifled feeling in his heart, President Han instructed grimly.
As the head of the Qingyuan Conferred Empire Formation Master Guild, he had a deep understanding of formations. He knew that even though the formation before them was able to hold the other party back for the time being, it wouldn't last long.
"Alright!"
The crowd also knew that this wasn't the time for them to pursue this matter. Thus, they hurriedly stood behind Zhang Xuan and listened to his instructions.
"Wu Shi, guard the Qian position. Luo shi, go to the Zhen position!"
President Han instructed.
He had been taking a look at the formation ever since he arrived, so he knew where the weakest point was. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the other party's arrangements, Zhang Xuan hurriedly stood at the designated position.
Hong long!
Everyone infused their zhenqi into the formation, and the formation swiftly stabilized.
"Damn it …"
Sensing the changes in the formation, the Skyleaf King knew that he wouldn't be able to break it in a short period of time no matter how hard he tried. Thus, he roared furiously, "Since you all are cowards, I'll destroy that stone statue!"
Hu!
As soon as the Skyleaf King's roar subsided, everyone suddenly felt the pressure on their bodies dissipating. It seemed like the Skyleaf King had left.
"He's going to deal with Principal Zhang. What should we do?"
Walking out of the formation, Vice Principal Ji Yan and the others saw that the Skyleaf King had already left.
Naturally, the Skyleaf King was referring to the old principal standing before the Saint Ascension Platform.
His soul was currently trapped within the stone statue, and he couldn't escape from it. Once his soul was destroyed, the only thing that awaited him would be death!
Even though he was only a zombie at the moment, he still possessed a clear consciousness and was able to speak on his own accord. They couldn't possibly watch as the other party was killed just like that.
"What else can we do? Save him! "Wu Shi gritted his teeth.
"But … we won't be able to stop the Skyleaf King!"
Vice Principal Tan Qing said anxiously.
The Skyleaf King was simply too powerful. Even with so many of them working together, they still weren't a match for him. If they were to rush over, not only would they fail to save the other party, they might even be wiped out.
"What else can we do? To watch as a comrade dies right before our eyes without doing anything … I can't do it! Master teachers never abandon their friends! "
Wu Shi clenched his fists tightly.
"We won't be able to do it either … but what can we do?" Vice Principal Ji Yan shook his head. "Principal Ji Yan only ended up in such a state because of me. If we were to put ourselves in danger while trying to save him as well, even if he were to die, he would never forgive us!"
Having followed Principal Zhang Yinqiu for many years, Vice Principal Ji Yan was well aware of the other party's temper and personality.
He had been single all his life, and he had devoted all of his time and effort to the academy and his occupation as a master teacher. If they were to rush over to save the other party, even if they did manage to save the other party, the other party would only blame himself and regret his actions.
"Is there really no better solution?" Lozosy asked.
"There is indeed a solution. It's just like what I said previously … Someone is able to achieve a breakthrough on the Saint Ascension Platform. Once that happens, with the might of the Saint Ascension Platform, one will be able to achieve an invincible state for a short period of time … No matter how powerful the Skyleaf King is, he won't be a match for that person! "
Vice Principal Ji Yan said.
"Invincible state?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Indeed. We have been observing the stone tablet on the first floor for the past two years, and based on the records left behind by Kong Shi, once one succeeds, the Saint Ascension Platform will release a brilliant radiance. The energy harnessed within the Saint Ascension Platform will be infused into one's body, harnessing the authority of the heavens. Not even Nine Stars master teachers will be able to withstand it!"
Vice Principal Ji Yan nodded.
Over the past two years, other than fighting a battle of wits with the Skyleaf King, they had also been studying how they could escape from the Saint Ascension Platform. As such, they were well-versed in the records of the Saint Ascension Platform.
They knew that there were only two ways to get out of here. First, obtain Ancient Sage Qiu Wu's heritage. Second, become a Celestial Saint on the Saint Ascension Platform!
Given that the will of Ancient Sage Qiu Wu had already dissipated, it would be impossible for them to obtain the heritage … In other words, the only way to get out of this predicament was to find a second solution!
"Actually, that's as good as not saying anything at all … Celestial Saint? How can it be that easy? "Wu Shi shook his head.
But before he could finish his words, the young man stepped forward and said with a resolute look in his eyes, "How about this? You all head over to the Saint Ascension Platform and try to stop the Skyleaf King from making a move on the old principal. I will head over to the Saint Ascension Platform and achieve a breakthrough to Saint realm!"
Now that he had obtained the Seven-colored Earth Jade Essence, all that was left was for him to make a breakthrough.
Once he made a breakthrough, given his accumulation and comprehension of the Saint Ascension Decipher, there was a good chance that he would be able to become a Celestial Saint on the spot!
It seemed like this was the only way to save the soul of the old principal and stop the Skyleaf King.
"Celestial Saint … is much more difficult than you think. It's not as easy as you think. It's best that you don't think about it anymore …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan mention this matter once more, Vice Principal Ji Yan frowned. He had only just gotten acquainted with the other party, so he didn't dare to reprimand the other party. Yet, here he was … Do you think that becoming a Celestial Saint is as easy as buying cabbage? You think that you can find it in any random market?
You sure are overestimating yourself!
Harrumphing coldly, Vice Principal Ji Yan was just about to continue speaking when the young man before him suddenly jolted, and a unique aura gushed out of him.
Hong long!
This aura caused a warm glow to emanate from the young man's body, making him look like a deity.
"This is … This is … Celestial Master Teacher?"
Feeling the unique aura, Vice Principal Ji Yan's words abruptly fell silent. His eyes narrowed, and his body stiffened.
