Starry Sky students were either geniuses or influential people. Each and every one of them were proud and arrogant, their eyes higher than the sky.
Moreover, the sudden ringing of the demon bell had attracted not only Starry Sky students, but also many Starry Sky teachers had rushed over to see what was going on.
Lu Qiji's words were tantamount to scolding the teachers and students of Starry Sky Academy together. The general meaning of her words was: everyone present except me is trash!
How could they stand this?
Yang Xiaohu was burning with anxiety upon hearing Lu Qiji's words. "Something will happen, Qiji will be in trouble. How can you say that? Even if you think so — — you can't say it out loud. If a fight breaks out — — "
"So what if they fight?" Xiahou Qianbai sneered. "Do you think they can eat Lu Qiji? Broken Mountain has its duty, and Starry Sky Academy also has its duty. The students of today are greedy for pleasure, admire fame and fortune, but lack compassion for the state of the universe. If the divine continent is in trouble, who can be spared? Lu Qiji did not say anything wrong. "
"Exactly." As long as there was an opportunity to attack Yang Xiaohu, Kong Li would not let it go, although he disliked Xiahou Qianbai more. "I think what Qiji classmate said is very reasonable. Men are not willing to take responsibility, but let a woman protect them — — isn't that shameful? "
"But, even if I think so, I can't — — I can't say it out loud." Yang Xiaohu said, his face flushed red. "What if — — what if — —"
"A man has things to do and things not to do — — Say what you think, this is what we cultivators mean. If our minds are not clear, how can we break through the realm? "
"Teacher Xiahou is right, but what's the use of saying this to a bookworm who only knows how to read? He doesn't understand. "
"— —"
Yang Xiaohu thought to himself that it was not a good idea to keep silent all the time. Before the conflict broke out, he should stand up and say a few words to ease the situation, and hope that everyone would give him face and not make things too difficult for Lu Qiji.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, someone suddenly shouted: "Lu Qiji is right — —"
"Lu Qiji is right. A woman has to sink to the bottom of the river for the divine continent, while we are having fun, it really makes me feel guilty — — "
"Yes, let's go together, guard the border together — — We must not let that ugly three-eyed demon step into the divine continent — —"

The crowd was enraged and responded in unison.
The Starry Sky students were indeed proud, and it was because of this pride that they were willing to fulfill their duties and make sacrifices.
Just as Lu Qiji said, if a girl could do it, how could a man escape?
Lu Qiji heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew how sharp and harsh her words were. If they really wanted to fight her out of humiliation and anger, then she could only dive head first into Nujiang …
There is strength in numbers, with the teachers and students of Starry Sky Academy guarding the boundary, at least the Yin and Yang World can stabilize for a few more days. When the War of the Nine Nations was over, the power of the Divine Prefecture could be gathered to fight against the desperate attack of the Devil Race.
"Thank you." Lu Qiji looked down at the crowd and bowed deeply.
This bow was not for himself, but for the people of the world. The torch of the human race would not be extinguished.
"Student Qiji is welcome, we will go with you to guard the boundary — —"
"Yes, let's go together, Miss Qiji only needs to summon us — —"
"Miss Qiji, senior brother wants to discuss the matter of guarding the boundary with you — —"
…
Yang Xiaohu beckoned, and Lu Qiji leaped down from the stargazing tower.
"Teacher Yang." Lu Qiji bowed slightly to Yang Xiaohu. Then she bowed to Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai. "Teacher Yang."
"Qiji, is the Yin and Yang Boundary Stone really as serious as you said?" Yang Xiaohu asked anxiously.
"It's more serious than I said." Lu Qiji replied in a low voice. "It's riddled with scars, and could be breached by the Devil Race at any time."
"Is there anyone guarding the boundary now?"
"Only one person." Lu Qiji answered.
"How can one person compete with the Devil Race that has been resting for thousands of years and wants to massacre the Divine Prefecture again?" Xiahou Qianbai frowned. "When are you going to guard the boundary? I'll go with you after I explain the homework of the Academy. "
"What do you have to explain? All brave men should go guard the Yin and Yang Boundary Stone. As for those who don't want to go — — let them cultivate. "Kong Li said in a carefree manner." We'll go now. "
"I'll go too." Seeing the eyes of his two colleagues, Yang Xiaohu immediately said.
"Confucian is worth teaching!"
"A bookworm also has a bit of courage."
Yang Xiaohu tugged at Lu Qiji's sleeve, whispering, "Is there any news of Li Muyang?"
Lu Qiji shook her head. "No."
"That boy — — where did he go?" Yang Xiaohu muttered with a blank look in his eyes.
Hearing Yang Xiaohu mention Li Muyang's name, Kong Li and Xiahou Qianbai were also anxious. After all, they were also Li Muyang's teachers, and gave him deep expectations.
"How could you not know? I remember your relationship has always been very good — — Dragon and Phoenix, shouldn't — — should be together every day? "Kong Li asked with a puzzled face.
"Yes. Do you know his whereabouts but deliberately hid it from us? Don't worry, we're also on the same side — — we won't do anything to him because of his identity. After all, in my heart, I see him as a nephew — — "
"I don't know." Lu Qiji explained helplessly.
"— —"
The three people looked at her with a strange expression.
"I really don't know." For some reason, Lu Qiji added. "I'm also looking for him."

The loud sound was deafening, as if a giant hammer was hitting their eardrums.
Above the head, the water rippled, and the rocks swirled around. There were constantly huge rocks tumbling down, swept away by the strong current.
The old woman's hands were rapidly waving, specks of golden brilliance flowing out from her fingers, falling onto the Yin and Yang boundary stone that was riddled with holes and cracks. Every time a golden star fused into it, the small hole or crack would instantly disappear.
However, there were too many small holes, the cracks were too big, and the brilliance was limited. It was really difficult to repair the entire boundary stone to its original state.
Moreover, because of the incessant attacks of the demons on the opposite side, the Yin Yang Boundary Stone had become extremely fragile. More and more holes appeared on it, and the cracks grew larger and larger. The surface that had just been repaired instantly cracked again, as if this process would never end.
If there was no end, it would be a good thing.
However, the old woman knew very well that because the Yin and Yang boundary stone had become thinner, the Demon Race on the other side of the wall had become even more frenzied, and were attacking even harder than before.
Most importantly, she knew that her body could not support it any longer.
The lamp oil was exhausted, and the light was extinguished. This was fate.
Bang — —
It was the sound of a muffled drum.
Every time such a sound was heard, it meant that a high-ranking demon general had personally broken the wall. Decades of persistence, decades of resistance, the old woman was well aware of this.
The old woman did not dare to be careless. She reached out and plucked off a star from the earthy yellow Starry Sky battle robe she was wearing.
The Starry Sky robe was embroidered with flowing clouds, a uniform prepared for Starry Sky students. The Starry Sky teachers also wore a Starry Sky robe, but the robe they wore had a small star on it.
But there were no flowing clouds on the Starry Sky battle robe, only stars. The entire robe was a sea of stars, dotted with several small stars, very natural and unrestrained.
Now, the old woman reached out and plucked off a small star on the Starry Sky battle robe.
The little star turned silvery white in her hand, like the color of the stars hanging in the sky.
The little star twinkled, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
The old woman looked at the little star with a face full of reluctance. Every star on the Starry Sky battle robe was condensed from the master's spiritual energy. Some even required years or decades of hard work.
Bang!
Another heavy hammer strike came.
The old woman glanced at the Yin Yang Boundary Stone and made a decision in her heart.
She curled her middle finger and gently flicked it, sending the star flying towards the Yin Yang Boundary Stone.
Pa — —
The little star smashed into pieces on the Yin Yang Boundary Stone.
In an instant, there was a burst of golden light.
The golden light appeared in the air and landed on the holes on the Yin Yang Boundary Stone, instantly disappearing without a trace.
But upon closer inspection, the door of the Yin Yang Boundary Stone had become flat and smooth. Many of the holes had disappeared and many of the cracks had been filled.
"Pfft — —"
The old woman's throat swelled and she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
It was too unkind!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang — —
The loud knocking sounds continued to ring out.
The old woman was helpless. She stood up from the huge stone she was sitting on and reached out to pluck another star.
"You don't want to live anymore?" A clear shout sounded.
A white figure flashed in front of her like a bolt of lightning and pressed down on her right hand that was about to pluck the star.
The old woman blinked her eyes, her eyelids were covered with thick wrinkles.
She did not see the sun all day and had to do such bloody things. Her source of life was consumed faster than ordinary people. She did not look like a successful cultivator at all.
It was even more difficult to associate her with the only woman in Starry Sky Academy who could wear the Starry Sky battle robe.
Seeing the face in front of her, the old woman's eyes lit up and she said softly, "Tai-shu Yongsheng — —"
"Bai Lixi — — are you crazy?" Tai-shu Yongsheng pressed down on the back of the old woman's hand. Mist was surging on the back of his hand, transferring his essential yuan to her to help her recover. His left hand flicked at the Yin Yang Boundary Stone a few times. Red flowers fell on the Yin Yang Boundary Stone and the crack that had just opened up was once again filled up by him. "Your body is already extremely weak. If you pluck the star again, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."
"I thought it would be difficult for us to meet again in this life. I didn't expect — — to meet again."
"Don't do such a stupid thing again. Live, only when you are alive will you have a chance. Protecting the boundary stone and resisting the Demon Race is an important matter for the entire Human Race — — it's not just about you, Bai Lixi. Even if you lose your life here, do you think you can protect the World Stone with your own strength? Do you think you can stop the hundreds of millions of Demon Race? "
"How many years has it been? How many years have we been separated? "The old woman reached out to touch her face and asked worriedly," Is my face ugly? Is it — — so old that I can't look good anymore? "
"No." Tai-shu Yongsheng said. "It's the same as before."
"Liar." The old woman smiled happily, the wrinkles on her face becoming deeper and denser. Decades of wear and tear, decades of guarding the boundary stone, decades of not seeing the sun, how could it be the same as before? "Old, I must be old — — you're old too."
The old woman looked at her and said aloud, "When you're young, you have the elegance of youth, but when you're old, you have the bearing of an old man. It's all good. "
"Don't talk anymore, close your eyes and rest for a while." Tai-shu Yongsheng sighed softly and said worriedly. "Don't worry about your meridians, all these years … — — your body's vitality has been depleted too much, and there were many times when it was extremely dangerous. You can't go on like this. "
A person's Qi Sea was like a stream, constantly drawing water from the stream, but there was no new water to fill it, so the stream would naturally dry up.
The old woman's body was like a stream that was drained of water, not only her vital energy, but also her qi and blood were almost depleted.
The oil lamp was extinguished, and his life was in danger!
Tai-shu Yongsheng knew the old woman's physical condition the moment he touched her body, but he did not want to say it too clearly to make her feel uneasy. However, with her cultivation level, how could she not know the condition of her body?
"I can't close my eyes!" The old woman shook her head and said, "If I close my eyes, I'm afraid I won't be able to open them again. We haven't seen each other for decades, I have to quickly say what I want to say. "
"If you have anything to say, say it slowly in the future, there's no hurry …" Tai-shu Yongsheng comforted her. "Say what you want to say, I'm listening. You also know that I can't speak, in the past, and still. I can't change this temperament. "
"Yes, if you could speak, would we not have seen each other for decades?" The old woman's face was full of joy, and she said coquettishly, "I was just throwing a tantrum, I didn't expect it to be what you wanted, not looking for me for decades and ignoring me."
