Chapter 32

Ye Xiaozheng frowned deeply, pacing back and forth in the stone room. After a while, he said, "Your number of demonic corpses is so vast. Even if the demonic corpses are a bit lacking, there are still spirit corpses and poison corpses. If I were to encounter a poison corpse, it would be a bit troublesome. How could two young people kill them? What kind of young people are they?"

The hooded figure snorted coldly and said, "At the time, the spirit corpse was already tracking down the Nine Immortal Lingzhi. Some hunters they encountered along the way were also killed. However, they then encountered a group of people riding fierce demonic wolves, and a fierce battle ensued. Unexpectedly, a masked man suddenly appeared, using an array formation to trap the poison corpse and the spirit corpse, then slaughtered all the demonic corpses. In the end, he used some secret technique, his cultivation skyrocketed, and he killed two spirit corpses and one poison corpse..."

"Secret technique? What about the other poison corpse?" Ye Xiaozheng asked anxiously.

"The last poison corpse had a divine command I left on it. When the situation turned unfavorable, I controlled the poison corpse to flee immediately. Those few people did not pursue. Just when I thought I had escaped, a young man in white intercepted me. That person..."

When the hooded figure said this, he raised his head, revealing a face full of scars, his eyes filled with fear.

Ye Xiaozheng's expression turned serious, and his heart sank.

This person had known him for many years, a powerful figure in the demonic path, who had killed countless people. When had he ever shown such fear?

The hooded figure continued, "A very strange feeling. That young man was only about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and the aura he emitted was not very strong, at most at the Qi Martial Realm, seventh or eighth level. But my divine command could sense... the poison corpse, upon seeing his back, immediately felt a fear akin to encountering an ancient wild beast. That feeling... made one tremble and shiver, as if the entire world was already under his control, and even the thought of fleeing could not arise..."

"Are you mistaken?" Ye Xiaozheng frowned deeply. "Is it really that exaggerated? With your cultivation and divine command strength, even facing the Profound Martial Realm, it wouldn't be to the point of..."

The hooded figure shook his head and said, "I don't know, but that feeling at the time made me lose the will to resist. I suspected it was an illusion, but in the end, that young man sliced the poison corpse in half with just two fingers, and it turned to ashes... too powerful, such cultivation is unheard of! At least it would require the King Martial Realm!"

"What! King Martial? Are you joking? The King Martial Realm is the level of a founder of a sect, a patriarch. The old ancestor of a general Xuan Tie-level force is at the King Martial Realm. How could there be such a powerful person in Tianfeng City?" Cold sweat trickled down Ye Xiaozheng's face.

He paced faster in the stone room, and after a while, he said nervously, "Then tell me, what should we do now? The Nine Immortal Lingzhi is something we planned for years to find. We rely on this to break through to the Profound Martial Realm. Now that this has happened, what the hell are we supposed to do!"

The black-cloaked figure said in a hoarse voice, "There's no other way, we can only kill some people, refine them into demonic corpses, and then continue searching."

"Search, search, search for what! After such a big incident, do you think your demonic corpses can still move freely in the Phoenix Mountain Range? Tomorrow, when the sky brightens, all the nearby forces will know about the existence of the demonic corpses. At that time, there will be guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. Can your demonic corpses still show their faces?"

"We can only delay for a while. There are no experts in Tianfeng City, I'm not afraid of anything! But that young man in white warned me not to move recklessly. He wants to find me in Tianfeng City, and it won't be too difficult... This person is clearly more troublesome than those two old guys from the academy!" The black-cloaked figure said with hatred.

Ye Xiaozheng's expression changed several times, and he did not speak.

The black-cloaked figure's eyes were filled with boundless hatred, and he continued, "That damned masked man, if I can find him, I will tear him to pieces and imprison his soul to burn for a hundred years! A thousand years! I will make him wish he were dead but unable to die!"

The violent voice echoed in the stone room, demonic and terrifying.

...

The next morning, in the first class of the Wu Dao Department at Tayan Academy.

Shen Lang, as usual, was sleeping on the desk.

However, the classmates around him had changed their attitude, keeping a respectful distance, whispering to each other.

The news of Shen Lang's great victory over Shen Jianfeng the previous evening had spread throughout the academy.

Many students in the first class had even witnessed the battle firsthand...

The former waste, the sleep god, suddenly displayed such overwhelming strength, leaving his classmates with very complex feelings.

Those who had mocked and ridiculed him in the past were now trembling with fear and unease.

Those who had been close to him in the past were now very relieved and proud, as Shen Lang had brought glory to the class.

The female students who used to gather around Xu Qing now had stars in their eyes, finding Shen Lang increasingly handsome as he slept, wishing they could take him home and admire his sleeping posture, and then... throw themselves at him.

"So handsome, so incredibly handsome, I never thought a man could sleep so handsomely..."

"Ah, if only he would wake up and look at me. This brat, with such high cultivation, has been hiding it all along, really!"

"I'm so sad, for so many years he was mocked as a waste, but he never argued, just silently endured, silently... I've decided, from now on, I will use my warm, full chest to protect and take care of him..."

If Shen Lang hadn't been so exhausted from healing last night and slept so deeply, hearing these words would have made him... vomit, vomit until he was a mess.

The many male students in the first class were even more inclined to bang their heads against the wall. This was too shameless, these women... they were probably the ones who mocked Shen Lang the most in the past. Now, not only had their attitudes changed, but they were saying such shameless and explicit things in front of so many male students!

However, although they were annoyed, they didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Lang's cultivation had been hyped up to the point where it was said that he had killed Shen Jianfeng with just one finger.

Moreover, Xu Qing was not coming to class, so they didn't dare to offend him anymore.

Not only did they not dare to offend him, but they were also thinking about how to make up for the past, what nice things to say when Shen Lang woke up to improve their impression in his mind.

At this moment, the door opened, and Su Hen and Lin Feng walked in.

These two were now in high spirits, walking with their chests puffed out, almost floating in the air, as if they might fall over at any moment.

Seeing these two, the group that had been whispering shivered and pulled their heads back, not daring to speak.

Shen Lang was close friends with these two, and they had suffered together. These two had been bullied a lot.

"Hey, Lang, wake up, we're back." Su Hen grabbed Shen Lang's shoulder and pushed him a couple of times.

"Leave me alone, I'm still sleepy." Shen Lang mumbled without lifting his head.

"Hey, today in Tianfeng City, a beautiful woman asked me for directions. I took a look, and she was so beautiful, a dream goddess... I wonder when I'll see her again..."

"Then what? Why didn't you ask for her name and address like you used to?" Shen Lang said without lifting his head.

"Asking for an address right away is too vulgar. Although I'm a bit silly, ... well, actually, she asked me for an address, so I gave her my address." Su Hen said in a lovesick manner.

"Amazing!" Shen Lang opened his eyes, glanced at him, rolled his eyes, and went back to sleep.

At this moment, a few bolder students in the class finally started to greet Su Hen and Lin Feng. When someone greeted them, everyone immediately swarmed around them.

"Hey, Su Hen, it's been so long, where have you been? We missed you so much..." A female classmate twisted her waist and leaned against Su Hen, her prominent chest rubbing against his arm. Everyone knew that Su Hen liked beautiful women.

"Right, right, I missed you too. Tell us about Shen Lang, you're his best friend, right?" Another female classmate gave Su Hen a flirtatious look.

"..." Su Hen was a bit stunned, not reacting for a while. It had only been one night, how did it become "so long"?

And why were these women leaning against him so much?

In the past, they treated him like trash, hoping to stay as far away as possible.

Strange, he didn't think their chests were that big before. Now, they seemed to be a bit off... maybe he needed to measure them himself.

On the other side, Lin Feng was different. He grinned coldly.

He wasn't like Su Hen, a silly guy. His favorite thing wasn't beautiful women, but gold, so he saw through these people's intentions clearly.

But his grin immediately scared the male students who were thinking about how to talk to him. They all started to feel uneasy.

This fat guy was very cunning. If he remembered everything from the past and incited Shen Lang to cause trouble, life would be tough from now on.

Forget about Xu Qing not daring to come to class now, even if he did come, he wouldn't be of any use.

Could he compare to Shen Dao? No!

Could he compare to Shen Jianfeng? Even less!

Who would dare to offend Shen Lang from now on?

No, no, no, it's not about offending him in the future, but how to please Lin Feng and the others now, and get them to help erase the past...

...
