All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 456 - 273 Taking Li Zijun as a Disciple_2

Chapter 456: Chapter 273 Taking Li Zijun as a Disciple_2
"I feel like I saw it there... broken mountain peaks, a masked man pierced by a sword, and..."
"Another me."
Li Zijun’s eyes looked at Su Bei, trying to discern something from his words.
Su Bei gently stretched his arm, and in an instant, a purple qi swirled around him. He could perfectly sense the harmony between the Evil Qi and the Great Dao Qi within him, without the slightest resistance.
Ji Nanjue looked at the purple qi engulfing Su Bei and seemed to think of something, then said, "Is this the transformation of the Evil Qi that was absorbed into your body, Husband?"
Su Bei nodded and then, as if struck by a thought, softly said, "That man said it’s called ’Devouring Heaven.’"
Before he finished speaking, Su Bei seemed to notice Li Zijun’s body stir slightly.
「South Wind Ancient Country, Empty Cicada Lake.」
There was a pavilion.
The pavilion was simple but very sturdy, as if only such a structure could withstand the huge dragon head resting atop it.
The rain was still incessant, flowing down from the eaves of the pavilion in streams.
Beneath the silver dragon horns, a pair of eyes blinked languidly. They listlessly watched the two men sitting in the pavilion, their hearts filled with an inexplicable sense of melancholy and heaviness.
The Silver Dragon finally grew impatient with the helpless waiting and couldn’t help but look into the pavilion.
Of the two men inside, one had muscles coiled like dragons and an air of an Immortal, yet overall appeared somewhat likeable.
The other man was composed and radiant as jade, sparing with words and smiles. His eyes, especially when they occasionally swept over the Silver Dragon, were full of dignified coldness.
The two sat kneeling on cushions, engaged in a game of chess.
The Silver Dragon was somewhat aware of the matters they discussed, which was why it couldn’t help but feel disconsolate.
It seemed that the conversation inside the pavilion was gradually reaching its conclusion. The originally gentle rain turned torrential, blurring the world outside the pavilion.
"Mr. Li, I’ll leave Ao Yue to you..."
"This Old Dragon can rest assured then."
The Confucian Sage sighed, looking into the distance as if pondering something.
The person before him was none other than the old fellow from the Dragon Clan of the Northern Sea, and his request concerned the one who wielded the Qingping Sword.
Seeing the man before him still deep in thought, the elder stroked his beard and then glared firmly at the huge dragon head lying on the pavilion. "Ao Yue, haven’t you addressed him as Teacher yet?" He didn’t ask whether the Confucian Sage would agree.
The dragon head instantly transformed into a human figure. A petite girl sulkily followed beside the old Dragon and said in a low voice, "Teacher."
The Confucian Sage stood up with his hands behind his back, looking up at the layers of clouds in the sky, and spoke leisurely, "Dragon King, if that sword is really pulled out... none of this can be certain anymore."
The Dragon King shook his head helplessly and said, "But in the end, there’s no other choice. If the Dragon Transformation Pond does not open, my Dragon Clan’s bloodline power will be completely lost..."
"The world cannot be without dragons; after all, it’s just to continue a strand of the Dragon Clan’s lineage."
"The young man who can pull out the Qingping Sword is no ordinary person. If Ao Yue follows him, it might not be a bad thing either."
The usually silent Ao Yue suddenly shouted, "I don’t want to marry him! Why must I marry him? He doesn’t even want me, so why should I chase after him? What right does he have?"
"If I don’t want to enter the Dragon Transformation Pond, I won’t..."
The Dragon King glared at her fiercely and said in a deep voice, "You don’t want the Dragon Palace left by your father either?"
The Phoenix Clan is powerful; I still don’t know how long I can protect the entire Dragon Clan...
Ao Yue opened her mouth, wanting to say something in retort, but the words ’I don’t want to’ ultimately couldn’t be spoken.
After a pause, the Dragon King seemed to think of something and hesitated but still spoke, "Do you really intend to stand aside from this matter?"
Of course, he wasn’t referring to the matter of becoming Ao Yue’s teacher.
The Confucian Sage looked somewhat sad and gave a wry smile, saying, "It’s their own choice. If they want to continue walking this path, then let them be..."
"Perhaps, what if that is the right decision?"
"Zi Jun should have already met that young man by now."
The Dragon King sighed and then let out a long roar to the sky, transforming into a crimson true dragon and disappearing between heaven and earth.
The heavy rain gradually stopped.
The Confucian Sage and the obstinate little loli looked at each other, then he smiled faintly, "Your grandfather doesn’t want you anymore."
Ao Yue turned around, transforming into a silvery figure that disappeared beneath the lake’s surface.
The Confucian Sage shook his head and stood in place.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but it seemed the guest he was expecting had finally arrived.
A middle-aged man appeared in front of the thatched cottage, holding a jug of fine wine. He sat down on the ground and said, "Is the State Preceptor appreciating the lake? How elegant."
The Confucian Sage turned around, bowed slightly to the visitor, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has arrived..."
The Confucian Sage was aware of his purpose. He also knew of his disciple’s defection. However, he was tired now and did not wish to concern himself with such matters.
"How long has it been since we, ruler and minister, have shared a drink?"
The South Emperor’s thoughts began to drift as he poured the wine into a cup and handed it to the Confucian Sage.
Having killed Li Zijun, I obtained the Confucian Tri-Energy. This cup of wine might as well serve as a farewell drink for our diverging paths...
The Confucian Sage chuckled, his eyes gleaming with light.
Xiegu City was becoming ever more lively, its streets brimming with cultivators and other creatures, bustling and overflowing.
Inside a teahouse, two men sat opposite each other, discussing matters.
"Who would have thought the Gu Family would be eradicated like this? It truly is lamentable..." one man said, shaking his head with a look of pity.
"Even the daughter of the Confucian Sage couldn’t escape that Lord’s arrangements."
"Merely the Gu Family; that Lord could eradicate them with a wave of his hand."
The other man’s demeanor was cold and aloof, his every move filled with a sense of pride.
"Poor Gu Qingfeng. He went to the Qingyang Sect only to be turned away at their door."
This man was Chu Tiankuo.
"Now that I have received that Lord’s favor, if Brother Hu performs well, perhaps I can arrange an introduction for you." In his words, there was a subtle show of arrogance and disdain.
Young Master Hu’s eyes were filled with envy. Originally, his cultivation was evenly matched with Chu Tiankuo’s until that mysterious person appeared, and Chu Tiankuo’s cultivation soared rapidly. He had long surpassed him.
"Let’s go, it’s time to clean up the aftermath of the Gu Family..."
After a moment’s thought, Young Master Hu cautiously said, "Why not send someone to gather information? Being cautious is never wrong..."
A hint of smugness appeared on Chu Tiankuo’s lips as he said in a low voice, "That Lord will also be there with us..."
Young Master Hu was shocked for a moment, then his eyes sparkled with anticipation as he flattered, "If that Lord is willing to take action, then everything is surely destined... My Hu Family is willing to follow the Chu Family’s lead unswervingly!"
Then the two of them disappeared from the teahouse.
A group of cultivators assembled, brimming with murderous intent, and hurried towards the Gu Family’s direction, causing a tremendous stir in Xiegu City.
Many cultivators were shocked and hurried towards the Gu Family, ready to discover the cause.
A sense of anticipation for some major event to unfold pervaded the crowd.
Ji Nanjue’s brows were tightly knitted as she mulled over Su Bei’s words.
She naturally trusted her husband with an open heart, yet she was pondering the connection between the Evil Qi and Su Bei’s inexplicable memories.
The three of them returned to the Gu Family, made brief preparations, and then were ready to head towards Empty Cicada Lake.
Within the Gu Family, the estate was filled with mansions and palaces, majestic and solemn.
The Gu Family Master looked at Su Bei with a sycophantic expression. He felt as if the person before him had changed, unable to comprehend such a vast difference after just a single trip away.
"Elder Su, you have returned?"
