Xiang Shaoyun couldn't be bothered about what others thought of him. His only goal was to return to the academy as quickly as possible. He had been away for too long. He needed to find out what had happened during his absence.

As for the result of the battle earlier, he would treat it as a lesson. It wouldn't be too late for him to get back at Xiao Xie after he caught up in strength.

When Xiang Shaoyun neared the teleportation formation, someone came for him.

The newcomer was an inconspicuous old man. He was dressed in a black robe, and his hands were clasped behind his back as he studied Xiang Shaoyun with a pair of cold eyes. The old man was Yu Yuchen, the elder in charge of guarding the Castle of Darkness.

In the Dragon Phoenix Academy, those capable of becoming an elder were all in the Heaven Battling Realm. Thus, it was obvious this elder had a deep and unmeasurable strength. From the symbol on Yu Yuchen's clothes, Xiang Shaoyun could see he was an elder. He quickly saluted and offered his greetings, ”Xiang Shaoyun greets the elder.”

”Come with me,” Yu Yuchen said expressionlessly before walking in a different direction.

Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to tarry and quickly followed. Soon, they arrived at an inconspicuous building.

There, Yu Yuchen turned back and looked at Xiang Shaoyun, ”How had you appeared in the ancient castle? And how had you left?”

He stared at Xiang Shaoyun with a pair of oppressive eyes, seemingly intent on making him speak the truth.

Xiang Shaoyun did not know what to say. Even if he exposed his chakram, was he supposed to talk about the Scarlet Flame Monarch as well?

After a short thought, he said, ”Elder, can I not answer that question?”

Everyone had their own secret, and since he couldn't think of an excuse, he might as well not say anything. Sure, thoughts of telling a lie crossed his mind. But would this person before him be someone who would fall for lies easily? He might as well be direct and show his reluctance.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Yuchen released a powerful pressure that wrapped around Xiang Shaoyun. The pressure gave Xiang Shaoyun a suffocating feeling, as if a mountain was bearing down on him. He was forced to bend, and even his flow of blood turned chaotic.

Yu Yuchen said, ”Do you know that I have many methods to make you tell the truth? Which of my methods do you want to try?”

His words were laced with threat, and the oppressive force he emanated was dreadful, as if he was going to break Xiang Shaoyun's spine with the pressure.

Sphhlt!

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't hold it anymore and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Inwardly, he lamented, What a terrible life I have.

He had been very unlucky as of late. First, he was set up by the Di Alliance. Next, he was threatened by three of the Seven Villains. And then, he was trapped in the s.p.a.ce of endless darkness. With great difficulty, he escaped only to be injured by the Scarlet Flame Monarch. And then, he was challenged by Xiao Xie. Now, even the academy elder was here to bully him. How unfair were the heavens?

In his bitterness, Xiang Shaoyun shut his eyes, deciding to just accept whatever fate had in store for him. He was completely helpless against the elder anyway.
