Chapter 772: The return of the l.u.s.trous scholar

After adding those funds to Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s account, Song Shuhang put his mobile phone away.

At the same time, Venerable White and Fairy Lychee—as well as the camera on her shoulder—also descended from the level of the demons of the Fifth Stage, their expressions very satisfied. Along the way, Venerable White saw Song Shuhang’s team of three, and waved at them. “Oh! Shuhang, how many demons did you guys kill?”

“We killed more than 1500 demons of the Fourth Stage altogether,” Song Shuhang replied. “It’s all thanks to your Meteor Sword, Senior White.”

“Ahaha. In that case, you guys can keep killing these demons,” Venerable White said with a nod.

It seemed he had no intention of taking ‘Meteor Sword’ back. After all, he didn’t really need it at the moment, since he was planning to head back with Fairy Lychee and take a look at the various scenes they’d just recorded earlier.

“Right. Senior White, do those several seniors from the scholarly faction have any chance of killing those ten demonic hives of the Eighth Stage?” Song Shuhang asked.

“Hmm… if we were talking about normal demonic hives of the Eighth Stage, the scholarly faction wouldn’t have any way of dealing with them. However, the ten demonic hives of the Eighth Stage that came over this time are somewhat strange,” Venerable White replied as he held his chin.

“Oh? There is something wrong with them? Is it possible that they aren’t normal creatures of the Eighth Stage? In that case, Senior White, would you have a way to deal with those several demonic hives of the Eighth Stage if you were to fight against them?” Yu Jiaojiao asked out of curiosity.

Venerable White pondered for a moment, and said, “Hmm, it’s going to be quite troublesome to deal with them with my current level of strength… however, you don’t need to worry. Although it’s going to be troublesome to fight them, it won’t be a problem to bring you guys away from this place in case something happens. And if there is really no other choice… I can break through and bring down the heavenly tribulation. That should be enough to take care of these demonic hives of the Eighth Stage.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Senior White, are you implying that you have already reached the point where you can break through at any moment?

❄️❄️❄️

Just as they were discussing, the old scholar and the senior cultivators of the scholarly faction started their battle against the demonic hives of the Eighth Stage.

Each move of these cultivators of the Eighth Stage Realm had the strength to move mountains and seas. All that incredible energy was compressed inside the various magical techniques, sword attacks, or saber attacks. This kind of battle was something that went way beyond the imagination of low-level cultivators.

Song Shuhang tried to lift his head and look at the battle between the old scholar and the demonic hives of the Eighth Stage. However, he felt a stabbing pain spreading through his mind after glancing in that direction. Immediately after, he felt as if his eyeb.a.l.l.s were about to explode.

It wasn’t only him, for the nearby Su Clan’s Sixteen and Yu Jiaojiao were also in the same situation, and could only suck in a deep breath due to the sharp pain.

But right at that time, Fairy Lychee quickly moved and arrived next to Song Shuhang and the others. She stretched out her hand and patted the foreheads of the trio with her palm. In the next moment, a gentle wisp of spiritual energy flowed into their eye sockets and glabella, instantly alleviating the pain the trio was feeling.

“Hehe, don’t be impatient. It’s going to be quite difficult for you guys to watch a battle of this rank with your current strength. Close your eyes and use your mind to ‘feel’ the battle. As for the actual fighting scene, I will record it down, and you can watch it later by combining it with what you ‘sense’ now, alright?” Fairy Lychee said.

A battle between Eighth Stage Profound Sages was really scary! If cultivators of the Fourth Stage or below used their naked eyes to watch it, their mental energy would fall into a chaotic state and their eyes would get injured!

Song Shuhang and the others still had a lingering fear from what happened earlier.

❄️❄️❄️

In the Netherworld Realm, within the holy pond below the ground.

The current volume of the Sinful Black Lotus was at least five times larger than the one Song Shuhang had seen in his dream. From time to time, the demons of the Netherworld would come over and throw into the holy pond the corpses of the cultivators of the scholarly faction.

These scholars were precisely the cultivators of the scholarly faction that had died during the battle between the White Cloud Academy and the Netherworld Realm just now. Part of the corpses was recovered by their fellow disciples, and another part was carried off by the demons of the Netherworld.

While shuttling back and forth, the ten demonic hives in the airs.p.a.ce of the White Cloud Academy weren’t only loading the demons of the Netherworld inside their bodies, but they were also bringing back to the Netherworld Realm the corpses of the scholarly disciples that had died in battle.

Along with the corpses of the scholarly disciples ending up in the ‘holy pond’, the volume of the Sinful Black Lotus increased again. At this time, it had already reached its maximum size, and it couldn’t grow any further. Additionally, it no longer produced lotus seeds since the calyx of the flower was now closed.

All those demons that were continuously throwing corpses into the holy pond stopped.

Afterward, a happy expression flashed through their eyes. Although the Sinful Black Lotus would no longer produce ‘lotus seeds’, the benefits they were going to obtain now that it had fully matured were even better!

“At last… it’s about to succeed.” Above the Sinful Black Lotus, one of the rulers of the Netherworld Realm—the ball of liquid metal—was currently hovering there in an invisible state. “In addition, it’s time to let those ten demonic hives ‘die’. It’s a pity, though. I’ve spent a great deal of effort to bring those demonic hives up.”

In the holy pond.

A small rune quietly appeared on the corpse of a scholarly disciple.

This rune was the same as the one the demonic hamster left on Song Shuhang’s chest with a kick.

As one might guess, it was something the demonic hamster secretly left on the corpse.

❄️❄️❄️

In another part of the Netherworld Realm, the demonic hamster arrived in front of Senior White Two, and handed him the vial of demodragon medicine it had obtained from Song Shuhang.

At the same time, it gave an account of Song Shuhang’s fighting capacity to Senior White Two.

Senior White Two took the vial of demodragon medicine, and slightly nodded. Meanwhile, his eyes were seemingly looking through s.p.a.ce itself and gazing in another direction.

…In that direction were the holy pond and the Sinful Black Lotus.

“Heh.” Senior White Two gently smiled.

The rune in the holy pond was something he’d entrusted to the demonic hamster earlier, ordering it to secretly leave it behind so that he could take a look at the tricks the ball of liquid metal had up its sleeve.

Below the scholarly faction are the Virtuous Golden Lotus and the unholy pond; below the Netherworld Realm are the Sinful Black Lotus and the holy pond. In addition, there is also that ‘autonomous world’… what is this guy planning to do? Two dimensions, one good, one evil; one virtuous, one sinful… is that guy trying to find a way to leave the Netherworld Realm? The corner of Senior White Two’s mouth rose.
