Only a hurricane-like black fog remained deep in the library, continuously feeding demonic energy into Elder Yang.
The Heavenly Mystery Sword suddenly flew to the roof of a nearby building. People saw a woman in a pink long dress with slender hands steadily catching the sword. She then took out a Seven-Turn Jade Flute from her body.
She suddenly offered a drop of her essence blood on the jade flute, which emitted a strong light. She then placed the flute to her lips and played a melody of the Clear Heart Mantra.
The previously trembling sword instantly became quiet. The woman then waved her hand in the air, and a golden light flew towards the pit.
“Suppress!” the woman lightly commanded, and the sword cry suddenly stopped, as did the surging demonic energy!
Sunlight broke through the clouds and mist, shining on the entire land. A beam of sunlight fell on the woman, highlighting her icy skin and jade bones, making her look transcendent and ethereal, like a goddess from the heavens who had saved their city!
This stunning scene was imprinted in many people’s minds.
The astonished crowd realized they had just heard the long-lost Clear Heart Mantra!
“Yes, that was the Clear Heart Mantra of the Guidao Secret Sect!”
Thinking of this, they fell into deep thought. Many present had participated in that battle, but today, they were saved by the Guidao Secret Sect’s spell!
Meanwhile, without the support of the demonic energy, Elder Yang’s cultivation instantly dropped. Di Xuan Shang looked at Feng Siyue, his lips curling into a smile, and thrust his sword towards Elder Yang’s heart!
“Stop!”
A commanding voice came from afar, growing closer. Feng Siyue turned to see the Vice Principal rushing over, striking out with his palm to stop Di Xuan Shang from striking!
Little Tangguo’s Black Tortoise Shell flew into the air, blocking the strike aimed at Di Xuan Shang!
The sound of a sword piercing flesh was heard as a sword penetrated Elder Yang’s heart.
Not only that, but Di Xuan Shang also made a heavy grip in the void, causing Elder Yang’s head to explode in mid-air like a red firework!
Bang!
Elder Yang’s headless body fell to the ground.
All of this happened in an instant. By the time the Vice Principal teleported over, Elder Yang was already dead beyond revival. Di Xuan Shang had crushed the soul within his head!
“You beast! How dare you!” Yang Aotian’s eyes were bloodshot, and he ground his teeth, his body erupting with overwhelming fury.
“You are the beast! Your academy’s Elder Yang has been demonized. Killing him was for the greater good. Vice Principal, are you trying to protect a demon cultivator?” Feng Siyue coldly retorted. This Yang Aotian had a foul mouth and dared to insult the man she admired!
Di Xuan Shang flew to her side and said, “You don’t need to waste your breath on such people!”
“I don’t want to either, but this esteemed Vice Principal of the Vast Academy seems to disregard the safety of everyone in the world. He wants to let the demonic energy spread. Does he want the people of the Abyss Continent to experience the disaster of a demon invasion again?”
Her words stirred the emotions of the entire Jiaoyang City, reminding everyone of the horrors of the past. It was a time of true hardship and suffering, where they lost loved ones one by one. They never wanted to experience that again!
Thinking of this, the crowd’s emotions gradually became more agitated, especially those who had just lost their loved ones.
“That’s right, Elder Yang deserved to die! She let the demonic energy leak and caused the deaths of so many in Jiaoyang City.”
“Elder Yang’s death is a good thing!”
“The Vice Principal should be thinking about how to handle the aftermath and investigate the situation to give us all an explanation, rather than pursuing the death of an already demonized Elder Yang!”
“Please give us an explanation. I can’t let my son die without understanding why!”
“That’s right, and my husband too!”
The people chimed in, all voicing their dissatisfaction with the Vice Principal!
Di Xuan Shang and Feng Siyue were the ones who saved everyone and were the heroes of Jiaoyang City. Yet, the Vice Principal came and immediately blamed them, which was completely unreasonable!
Hearing these voices, the Vice Principal’s face became increasingly grim.
Elder Yang was his own younger brother. Watching him die right before his eyes, how could he not be furious?
But now, he could only swallow his anger.
“Everyone is right. Vice Principal, you should investigate why Elder Yang brought students to the sword array for a lesson. Is there some evil conspiracy?” Feng Siyue said loudly.
“Years ago, the disciples of the Tianmen Sword Sect died on the battlefield fighting against demons. The swords in this sword array flew back from the battlefield after their deaths. Each sword represents a heroic soul. But because they were tainted with demonic energy, they have been sealed here. Who exactly unlocked the seal, and what do they intend to do? As the Vice Principal of Vast Academy, you must give us an explanation!”
The Vice Principal clenched his fists and said in a low voice, “Clearly, this was just an accident. There couldn’t be any conspiracy. Vast Academy is a righteous institution and never does anything underhanded.”
“Is that so? I didn’t expect the Vice Principal to be someone who doesn’t shed tears until he sees the coffin!” Feng Siyue’s lips suddenly curled into a cold smile!
“What do you mean?” Yang Aotian’s expression changed, and he looked at Feng Siyue with a dark gaze.
“You say the demonic energy leak was an accident? No, it was a tragic disaster caused by the greed and negligence of your Vast Academy. Today, dozens of people in the city died because of the demonic energy, and their deaths are directly related to you!” Feng Siyue said loudly. Her voice was clear and pleasant, and every word resonated, making it perfectly audible to everyone present.
What?
The demonic energy leak wasn’t an accident? Was it deliberately caused by someone from Vast Academy?
“Nonsense, complete nonsense! I see you are deliberately slandering our academy. Everyone, don’t believe her absurd claims.”
Yang Aotian said sternly.
He looked at Feng Siyue, his heart filled with murderous intent. If it weren’t for that child’s Black Tortoise Shell, he would have killed the masked man just now and ‘accidentally’ injured this detestable woman!
These two, who knows where they came from, both deserve to die!
“Whether it’s nonsense or not, everyone will understand after hearing this!”
As Feng Siyue spoke, she opened her palm, and a transparent figure wrapped in a barrier floated into the air. It was the soul of a student from Vast Academy.
Normally, after death, a soul would immediately enter the underworld for reincarnation. However, there are special cases, such as extremely powerful cultivators who can use secret methods to preserve their souls and then find someone to possess and be reborn, or recreate their physical bodies!
Of course, some people can use high-level artifacts to collect souls, but if not done in time, the soul will be pulled into the underworld by mysterious forces.
Seeing Feng Siyue release a soul, everyone’s first reaction was amazement. She was able to preserve a student’s soul in such a chaotic situation, showing great agility!
But what was she going to do with the soul? Could it be related to the leaked demonic energy?
