Yang Qi transformed a strand of true energy into a human form, which entered the qi sea of the giant guardian leader.

The giant guardian leader shivered all over, looking at Yang Qi in terror: "You... are so ruthless..."

"There's nothing particularly ruthless about it. You see me as an enemy, so I treat you like a pig or a dog. Go on, hurry up and report. Don't provoke me; you can't afford to! Also, I have a rough idea of who is behind your actions. Is it Yun Hailan? Tell her that she owes me, Yang Qi, and one day I will reclaim everything, with interest. And let her know that in the face of absolute power, all her schemes are laughable. Her petty cleverness is like a chicken or a dog in the face of absolute power."

Yang Qi waved his hand.

He wasn't afraid of alarming the academy, as conflicts between students and giant guardians were common. As long as no one died, the academy would turn a blind eye.

Moreover, the means he had just displayed were almost at the Life Seizing Realm, and he even hinted that he had the potential to break through to the Heaven Seizing Realm.

If Yang Qi broke through and became an elite student, these giant guardians would have to curry favor with him, or they would face dire consequences. The status of elite students far exceeded that of ordinary students.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be worthy of the title "elite."

Seeing the murderous look in Yang Qi's eyes, the giant guardian leader didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly got up and walked inside, clearly deeply intimidated by Yang Qi and not daring to act rashly, fearing someone even more ruthless.

The other giant guardians also hid in their small rooms, not daring to come out. They all feared Yang Qi like a tiger.

After a while, the giant guardian at the temple entrance came out, accompanied by a man. This man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a dignified and imposing presence, a fair complexion, and he looked at Yang Qi for a moment: "Nephew of Yang Susu? She is currently in seclusion, cultivating an important qi technique and cannot spare the time. However, she asked me to come and escort you in. Follow me."

This man was condescending, with a calm and profound aura, clearly a Life Seizing Realm elite disciple.

In fact, in the entire Elite Academy, almost everyone, except for figures like Yun Hailan, was a Life Seizing Realm powerhouse.

The Heaven Position Academy was the first major force on the Fertile Continent, with a multitude of experts. It was not uncommon to see Life Seizing Realm powerhouses.

Since entering the Heaven Position Academy, Yang Qi knew that his aunt held a significant position, having already advanced to the Life Seizing Realm and studying at the Elite Academy.

"Aunt's friend?"

Now, he had come to find her, expecting his aunt to come and meet him, but instead, a condescending man appeared, which made him somewhat unhappy, though he remained vigilant. He followed the man into the Elite Academy.

"This Elite Academy is full of formations and illusions. If you haven't reached the Life Seizing Realm, entering here is fraught with danger. Your status and strength are low, so just stay close behind me. Don't wander around, be obedient, understood?"

Seeing Yang Qi step up and stand beside him, the condescending man frowned, clearly displeased. He stopped and scolded him.

"No problem," Yang Qi replied calmly, without showing any emotion. "The formations and illusions in this Elite Academy, if they can't affect Life Seizing Realm experts, they probably can't affect me either. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the young man's eyes widened, staring at Yang Qi intently, as if trying to make him submit. After a long moment, seeing Yang Qi remain calm, he sneered: "If that's the case, be careful."

Whoosh!

He took a step and disappeared in the temple corridor.

The temple corridors were like a maze, with many twists and turns and numerous doors and passages. On the tall walls were murals with strange runes and formations. A single misstep could lead to an abyss of no return.

This young elite student, already very displeased by Yang Qi's bold words, deliberately sped up to leave Yang Qi behind, hoping to make him suffer in the temple corridors.

With his qi technique, he crossed over a hundred corridors in five breaths, reaching deep into the temple.

Stopping beside a large pillar, the young elite student waved his sleeve: "Hmph! You insolent fool, just a mere outer academy student, yet so arrogant. I'll leave you in the temple corridors to reflect on your behavior, so you don't cause trouble in the future."

"Is that so? I don't think the temple corridors are dangerous. They're just some illusions and true energy barriers. As long as one's cultivation is deep enough, one can easily pass through them with brute force."

The young elite student was about to see Yang Qi make a fool of himself, but then he heard a voice from behind him. He turned around, his eyes wide with disbelief, as Yang Qi walked calmly from the corridor behind him, admiring the murals on the walls.

"You..."

The young man's throat made a choking sound, almost unable to speak.

"Brother, let's go. I haven't seen my aunt in over ten years," Yang Qi said calmly.

"Hmph!"

The young man seemed to want to challenge Yang Qi directly to see how his qi technique compared. As a Life Seizing Realm powerhouse, he always treated qi technique students condescendingly, seeing them as slaves. Today, he had been greatly embarrassed by Yang Qi, and he was very unwilling.

However, after some consideration, he suppressed his anger and continued forward.

After a while, they crossed dozens of long corridors and stopped in front of a temple door. He lightly knocked on the door, and immediately, layers of echoes reverberated, deep and distant, as if leading to another world.

Creak!

On the ninth knock, the temple door slowly opened, revealing darkness inside. A spiral staircase faintly visible led to the top.

"Go in. This is where Senior Sister Yang Susu is in seclusion. She already knows you're here," the young man said, looking at Yang Qi again and coldly snorting.

"Is that so?"

Yang Qi's true energy had already penetrated the temple door, and he faintly sensed an extremely dangerous aura, almost like a sealed demon god.

He immediately knew that this was not where his aunt was in seclusion, but possibly a trap.

"Since that's the case, Brother, let's go in together," Yang Qi said, licking his lips and pointing to the dark, deep entrance.

"Hmph, I have other matters to attend to. Go in alone," the young elite student coldly snorted, about to lash out but then restrained himself, a cruel smile on his face.

"Is there danger inside?" Yang Qi asked, hands behind his back, calmly. He didn't understand why this young man was against him, but since entering the Elite Academy, the giant guardians had been difficult, and now this elite student was also hostile. He was probably being targeted.

"Could it be Yun Hailan again? But she is just a qi technique master, not of high status. How could she command a Life Seizing Realm powerhouse? Could she have a powerful backer in the academy? I'll ask my aunt when I see her," Yang Qi thought.

"Boy, you talk too much. Go in."

Buzz!

The young man struck with a palm, and instantly, a fierce wind arose, true energy surging like a tide. A vast aura enveloped the area, with countless palm shadows converging into a massive mountain, crashing down. The qi technique was so powerful it could split a river.

"That's right, boy. This is not where Yang Susu is in seclusion, but the Demon Suppressing Chamber of our Elite Academy, where vicious underground demons are sealed. Enjoy your stay. A lowly outer academy student, daring to defy me repeatedly, if I don't punish you, my authority will be greatly diminished. Also, let me tell you, boy, someone has put a bounty on your head, and I'll do the job for them."

As he struck, the young man's voice was filled with malice: "Boy, remember, when the demons devour you, don't forget that the one who killed you is me, Ouyang Hu!"

Yang Qi had been on guard. Seeing Ouyang Hu's attack, with true energy surging like a mountain, he gathered his strength, ready to counter.

But at that moment, a sword light swept through the temple corridor, emitting a suction force, forming an aura that cut through the mountain-like true energy, completely dispelling it.

Then, the sword light formed vortices, absorbing all the true energy.

A voice echoed: "Ouyang Hu, you have a lot of nerve. How dare you harm my family." The voice was that of a woman, authoritative and clear, like flowing water and a ringing sword.

"Yang Susu!"

Ouyang Hu trembled, about to retreat rapidly.

But as he turned, he reached the end of a corridor, where a woman appeared. She waved her hand, and the sword light fell into her palm, jumping and then disappearing into her body. She was tall and slender, with long legs like a crane, and a graceful figure.

She wore a light green vest, with a fiery red scarf in her hair, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, the scarf like flames, red and green contrasting, symbolizing the harmony of water and fire, yin and yang.

She stood there, her aura calm and profound, deep like the sea, like an ancient well reflecting the void, the moon, and the stars.

Her realm was extremely high, her aura clearly overwhelming Ouyang Hu.

"Yang Susu, this has nothing to do with me. Your nephew offended someone favored by the Crown Prince, and she passed the message. I was just respecting the Crown Prince's wishes. Do you dare to defy the Crown Prince's wishes?"

Ouyang Hu, initially shocked, gradually calmed down, speaking with a sense of security.
