Chapter 2035: Gu Qiheng (1/2)
Li Qiye eventually pulled the youth of the ocean. The poor guy was completely dried up and resembled a ninety-year-old mortal with gray hair with only skin left, no longer as dominant as before.
It didn’t take long before all of his vitality was drained. This was the power of the murderous energy, corroding both his power and body.
Li Qiye was already going easy on him by protecting his life. Otherwise, the young king would be without a body right now before the monstrous energy.
He was on his last breath after being pulled up. In fact, even breathing was a struggle.
Li Qiye gave him a mean stare and said flatly: “Because you’re a student, I’ll spare you this time, don’t think you’ll be so lucky again!”
He then threw the young king outside. A few students from Hundred Halls quickly helped him up. The guy didn’t dare to retort back at all since just lifting a finger was difficult.
His current situation was already quite optimistic because, at the very least, it wasn’t death. Recuperation was all that needed.
He glared at the students here and began: “The academy is fine with students challenging teachers, and I welcome it too. That’s right, it has produced many amazing students including High G.o.ds and emperors. Some would come to have greater achievements than their teachers. However, men shouldn’t gossip and scheme behind one’s back. Unhappy about a teacher? Challenge them straight up to a real duel! If you can’t do that? Then shut the h.e.l.l up! All of you aren’t old women in the shopping district and not random dogs and cats either! You’re students of Celestial, the elites of the hundred races! Refrain from acting in a shameful manner! G.o.ds, emperors, tyrants, and monsters can come out of the academy, but not a coward!”
No one here dared to open their mouth, especially those who have insulted him earlier.
“Scram.” He coldly uttered.
This was the word the students wanted to hear the most so they hastily dispersed. The students from Hundred Halls also carried Six-sword away.
“A clear declination in generation.” Li Qiye shook his head and turned his focus back to the paG.o.da. He spread his palm and reached for it.
“Boom!” The paG.o.da was completely uprooted by Li Qiye. It wanted to escape but this was met with futility.
In the end, it became a tiny stone paG.o.da in his palm. He then raised it and cried out: “Recall!”
Like a whale, it crazily swallowed all the murderous energy in this ocean without leaving a trace left in a short time. Now, the mountains were green again and full of life once more.
He casually threw it at Liu Jinsheng and said: “The paG.o.da took up too much s.p.a.ce here, you take it.”
Jinsheng caught it in silence so Li Qiye went on: “After making a choice in life, one needs to be more decisive. Good or bad? Doesn’t matter, just need to continue on without hesitation.”
“The grand dao is long so your perspective will keep on changing as you reach different stages in life. What’s right in your eyes today might be wrong tomorrow, but ultimately, it is only relative to your state of mind. Since you’re the judge here, then just accept it. As for losing face or whatever, that’s only your pride getting in the way. Old bones like us have lived for countless years. Just smile and realize how ephemeral the past is.” Li Qiye glanced at the old man and said.
Jinsheng shuddered and took a deep breath. He put away Murder PaG.o.da and bowed towards Li Qiye: “Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I can see much clearer now so I will be going to see some old friends. Excuse me.”
“Go.” Li Qiye gently waved his hand.
Jinsheng bowed once more before disappearing like a phantom. He had been hiding his strength all along ever since he got here. Everyone else thought that he was just an old cultivator.
Not to mention the young ones like Ye Xinxue, even a few teachers couldn’t see through him. Only the stronger ones could tell his true cultivation.
