Chapter 1325: Chapter 861: Qingfeng and Ming Yue (Part 3)
Upon opening the box and seeing the whole bag of Life-extending Ointment inside, Yang Xiao could clearly sense the intense spiritual fluctuation emanating from Second Demon Uncle, a sudden aura that even made it hard for him to breathe.
"Where did you get this thing?" Second Demon Uncle’s voice had a strange tone.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Yang Xiao did not waste words and quickly explained the origin of his journey to the Esoteric Sect, mentioning the High Priest Cannibal Buddha and Yiling Academy’s old Dean Sheng Yanlin.
"Sheng Yanlin, hmm..." Second Demon Uncle seemed lost in some kind of memory, and after a while, he said with a tone full of nostalgia, "I still remember holding him during the sect ceremony, back when he was just a baby."
Yang Xiao knew Second Demon Uncle held a high rank, but he had no idea it was to such an extent that he was at least on par with figures of the same generation as Sheng Jingxuan’s father.
Higher by at least two generations than the current head of a first-rate martial force like Yang Yunluo of Ru Lin Academy, who died in battle.
"Uncle, we can talk about these things later; today I am here to ask you to save my life!" Yang Xiao’s eyes reddened as he knelt down with a thud.
This scene stunned several people, especially Daoist Qingfeng, who, upon snapping back to reality, immediately flared up, hugging Yang Xiao’s medicine chest and cursing, "Who dares disrespect my junior brother on this land as if my words don’t matter?!"
"Senior Brother, it’s not here in this town; it’s in Rongcheng. Yiling Academy has gone too far, sending masters to beat my brother half to death and wanting to kill me too. Even people from the Rongcheng Union are colluding with them." Yang Xiao immediately began to complain, tears streaming down.
"Yiling Academy, hmm..." Second Demon Uncle snorted, placing the box containing the secret medicine beside him, "With Sheng Yanlin not around, none of the remaining people are competent enough; they have resorted to bullying a few juniors!"
"Uncle, my brother is about to die, his soul has been extracted, and I guess I will meet the same fate when I return. Last time I let them off, I never thought they would repay kindness with hatred."
"Do not worry, Xiao, Uncle will take care of this matter for you!" Second Demon Uncle’s voice was not loud, but his tone was heavy, and then he slowly said, "I roughly know the juniors of Yiling Academy. Though the academy is not as glorious as it used to be, it’s not to the extent that they would send their top elders against you. Whoever they sent won’t be too strong, probably at the peak of Ghost Level, something not worth fearing."
"Ming Yue, accompany your junior brother Yang on this trip, and should you encounter them, just kill them. But remember, discuss with your junior brother Yang, who has an official position, and don’t cause him any trouble." Second Demon Uncle instructed.
"I will faithfully follow the master’s orders." Monk Ming Yue grabbed a nearly bowl-thick black iron staff behind him. His body was over two meters tall, with muscles robust and chillingly oppressive like that of a Demon Sect Vajra.
"Do not worry, Xiao. Even if one of those half-step Netherworld juniors from the academy comes, your senior brother Ming Yue can still protect you to leave safely." Perhaps worried about Yang Xiao’s insecurity, Second Demon Taoist added another sentence.
"I trust Senior Brother Ming Yue’s abilities, thank you, Uncle, for supporting me!" Yang Xiao expressed gratitude with tears streaming down.
"Lives are at stake, I won’t keep you any longer, Ming Yue, quickly go and return." Second Demon Uncle instructed.
"Uncle, there is one more thing. I’m worried these guys might come to Xiang Ma Town to cause trouble. I’m not at home, and my friends..."
"Heh." Second Demon Uncle rarely smiled, "I may not be able to touch them outside, but if they dare to come to this town and cause trouble, even if it’s Sheng Jingxuan from Yiling Academy’s Pseudo Realm, I can keep him here."
"With your immortal methods, Uncle, I feel relieved with your words." Yang Xiao hurriedly flattered him.
"Junior Brother, you go ahead, I’ll watch the house for you. I’ll arrange for double Ghost Slave patrols around your territory at night. If any fools show up, Senior Brother will thrash them for you, to vent your anger!" Daoist Qingfeng shouted.
"Senior Brother Qingfeng, you dote on me the most!" Yang Xiao was moved to tears.
Once all arrangements were in place, Yang Xiao planned to return with Senior Brother Ming Yue to avenge his dear brother, but Second Demon Taoist stopped them before leaving.
He advised Yang Xiao that killing was easy, but the aftermath was difficult to handle. Taking care of Yiling Academy was acceptable, since they crossed the line and deserved their fate, but dealing with the Apostles Union people was troubling.
These guys, despite not being very strong, were backed by one of the three major forces, the United Federation, making the matter somewhat complicated.
Second Demon Taoist suggested it would be best for the Provincial Office to step in.
"Obeying master’s teachings!" Yang Xiao had already planned, before coming, to first report to the Provincial Office, under the pretext of eliminating evil cultivators, targeting Elder Pu and that mysterious spirit power expert.
After all, the Ghastly Laughing Face incident was orchestrated by Elder Pu, and Yiling Academy had promised him they would not release Elder Pu again. So, even if he kills him this time, Yiling Academy wouldn’t be able to protest.
If they remain uncooperative, Yang Xiao would brand them with secretly aiding evil cultivation forces to assassinate Patrol Defense Office officials, which would terrify them.
This is no baseless slander from Yang Xiao; after all, Elder Pu indeed did that, triggering the Ghastly Laughing Face spiritual event, resulting in hundreds of deaths, making it not easy to brush off.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this is indeed verified, not to mention small characters like Elder Pu, the entire Yiling Academy would be in huge trouble.
