Shenwu Batian Jue

Chapter 98

After dawn, Su Yan asked Lingmeng to move to the outer courtyard.

Although Lingmeng was reluctant, but after what happened last night, she knew that staying in the inner courtyard would not help anything, but would become a burden to Su Yan, so she did not persist in the end.

"They... have nothing to do!"

"How is it possible! The inner courtyard is a restricted area, and anyone who enters is either crazy or dead. It is said that except for the chief courtyard master and the worshiping elders who walked out unharmed back then, no one else was spared!"
"What's going on here? Could it be that they were lucky and didn't encounter those terrible things?"

"More than a hundred years have passed since the incident that year, perhaps the inner court is no longer in danger."
"Impossible! Could it be that what we heard in the night was all false?"
"That's right, there was still that terrible voice coming from the inner courtyard last night. But it's unbelievable why the two of them are fine..."
The disciples living in the outer courtyard were all shocked when they saw Su Yan and Lingmeng coming out of the inner courtyard without incident, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be the most incredible thing in the world.

Su Yan ignored the astonished and puzzled miscellaneous disciples, and quietly accompanied Lingmeng into the room arranged for her by the stewards. After tidying up, she went to the steward's office to receive today's tasks.

"Are you here?" Seeing Su Yan, there was a sneer on the corners of the mouths of the stewards, and then they threw the wooden sign that had been prepared and looked at him condescendingly: "Remember, it must be completed before dark. Otherwise, there will be no food and no sleep!"
Looking at the task recorded on the wooden sign, Su Yan's eyes were slightly cold, it turned out to be five thousand catties of wood!

For such a workload, for disciples in the Qi Refining Realm in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, even three or four people may not be able to complete it together.

Su Yan knew that all the stewards were determined to punish him.Although there was anger in his heart, he didn't say anything in the end, didn't even look at the stewards, turned around and left with the wooden sign.

"Make you proud! I want to see how long you can be proud!" Su Yan's calm attitude annoyed all the officers. He squinted his small eyes and looked at the direction where Su Yan was leaving, and said to himself: " It seems that this person surnamed Su did not live in the inner courtyard last night. But that’s fine, once the manager cleans him up enough, and then force him to live in the inner courtyard, then he will become a headless corpse Yes, hehe..."
The lumber workshop in the outer courtyard of Yinlingyuan.

There are mountains of trees here, and every few days, the management office will arrange some miscellaneous disciples to go to the mountain to cut wood, and will also make a special trip to arrange disciples to split the felled trees into firewood to supply the firewood consumption of the college cafeteria.

As soon as Su Yan arrived at the lumber workshop, Lingmeng followed her. When she learned about the task that the stewards had arranged for him, her pretty face was cold, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger: "That bastard actually asked you to do the work of several people. Enshrining the elder to leave the customs, I must tell him about this! A steward of the miscellaneous affairs department of the outer court has repeatedly made things difficult for you, and the senior sister is really angry!"

"Forget it, these chores are not difficult for me."
"Junior brother, you are generous and don't care about him, but that bastard is getting worse. The more you tolerate, the more difficult he will be. After completing these tasks today, he will definitely assign more things for you to do tomorrow!"
"Sister, sit down, don't be angry about this matter." Su Yan smiled, pressed Lingmeng's shoulder to let her sit on a clean stake, and said: "It's not that you don't understand me, patience has a limit Yes, and the time is not yet ripe. From the moment we come here, there will be many eyes staring behind us. As long as those people catch us, they will definitely make a big fuss by making use of it."
"Don't tell me, senior sister, I know that it must be Zhong Lingbo and Yao Tianfeng. Are you worried that if you start a fight with the stewards, Zhong Lingbo and Yao Tianfeng will come forward and accuse you?"
"Senior Sister Bingxue is smart, that's what I'm worried about. Although I'm not afraid of trouble, it's better to be cautious." Su Yan said, picked up the ax beside him and chopped firewood, "We are newcomers, facing the situation of the Royal Academy I don’t know yet. Now the head master and the elders are also retreating. The current Royal Academy is probably under the control of the people behind Zhong Lingbo and Yao Tianfeng. So we must leave a way for ourselves when we do anything. At least We must ensure that we survive before the headmaster and Elder Mo leave the customs."
"I don't know how Elder Mo arranged it. He knew that you and Zhong Lingbo had a deep hatred, but he didn't explain anything before the retreat, and he didn't arrange your affairs properly in advance. No one knows when Elder Mo and the head of the hospital will be together." I don’t know how much more anger you have to suffer when you leave the customs.”
"Don't worry, senior sister, my patience has a limit, and you know my character. I have already planned this matter in my heart. During the recent period, senior sister just needs to stay in the outer courtyard to ensure her own safety. Be careful , he has no good intentions for you. It is best to rest in meditation at night, and I am not by your side, so you can't sleep too deeply. "
Listening to Su Yan's voice, Lingmeng's heart warmed, and she sighed: "Junior Brother, you have really grown up, and you are no longer the little boy in Senior Sister's heart. Now you can take care of Senior Sister, It's not in vain that Senior Sister has loved you so much these years..."
Su Yan was slightly taken aback, split the firewood in front of him with a "snap", turned to look at Lingmeng and said with a smile, "For no reason, why did Senior Sister say these provocative words again?"
"Senior Sister, I just feel a little distressed when I think about your experience over the years. Ever since you came to Qingyang Peak, your road has always been so bumpy. Now you have encountered these things when you arrived at the Royal Academy, and then you have to go to the Immortal God Realm..."
"If you don't experience ups and downs, how can you grow. The road of us warriors is always difficult. If we stay as flowers in the greenhouse forever, no matter how strong the bloodline talent is, I believe it will be difficult for us to achieve much." Speaking of this, Su Yan's eyes are full of confidence and firmness: "Only the tempering of blood and bones can make a strong man who is all-powerful!"

"I need cruel tempering, and you need it too, senior sister. Because I know that senior sister is not willing to be an ordinary warrior, but wants to follow me on the journey to become a strong man!"

"Senior Sister's thoughts will never be hidden from you." Lingmeng looked at Su Yan who was wielding the axe, with a soft light in her bright beautiful eyes: "Actually, Senior Sister didn't have too big a goal before, I just hoped to enter Qingling in the future." But now it is different, you are so good, it is impossible to stay in Qingling-level forces forever in the future. The senior sister will stare at you from behind, but she doesn’t want to be too far away from you, even if she can’t keep up with you The pace, but also strenuously stride..."
Su Yan was stunned, the ax he swung stopped in the air, and then he slashed down, softly said: "Just to keep up with my pace, senior sister, isn't it worthwhile for you to do this..."
"What are you talking about? In this world, you are the person that senior sister loves the most and is closest to. What's the point of fighting for you?" Lingmeng said with a smile, but a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she sighed secretly in her heart. For cultivation, she worried that even if she just wanted to stand behind and stare at Su Yan's figure in the future, it might be an extravagant wish.

...Lingmeng accompanied Su Yan, watching him do things, and talking with him at the same time. Unknowingly, at dusk, several large piles of chopped firewood had piled up in front of Su Yan.

He went to the steward's office to hand in the task, and left gracefully under the twitching expressions on the faces of the stewards.

It was night again, and the inner courtyard became extremely eerie, but Su Yan's mood was much lighter than last night.

Lingmeng lives in the outer courtyard, and now Su Yan is the only one in the entire inner courtyard, so he doesn't have to worry about her safety, he just needs to wait for the strange corpse to appear as Ye Laner said.

Su Yan didn't stay in the room, but sat cross-legged in front of the door, with his eyes closed, and his keen soul force perceiving all the wonderful changes around him.

Unknowingly, it was four o'clock, and a familiar voice came from the dark and gloomy woods.

"Tap", "Tap", "Tap"... The heavy and slow footsteps broke the silence, echoing in the gloomy and dark woods.

"finally come!"

Su Yan opened his eyes with a "swish", and the pupils shone with bright golden light, like two magic lamps fixed in the eye sockets.

"Tap", "Tap", "Tap"... The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Su Yan felt the temperature in the courtyard drop rapidly, a biting wind blew past, and the trees began to rattle and shake.

"My head... where is my head...give me back my head..."
The strange and unchanging voice wafted in the whistling wind, and Su Yan saw the strange corpse again.

The creepy corpse tonight looks more terrifying than last night. The head nailed to the top of the iron rod inserted into the neck is full of blood, and the two long and sharp fangs are exposed from the lips, glowing in the cold moonlight. A faint cold light moved.

"My head... where is my head...give me back my head..."
The ghostly corpse repeated Leng Youyou's words, stretched out its hand to face Su Yan, and suddenly accelerated its steps.

Su Yan got up and stood still, the blood in his body was rushing, the golden blood energy overflowed his body to form a shield of true energy, the flames of the sun were burning in his palm, and his eyes locked on the strange corpse.

Suddenly, the creepy corpse disappeared with a "swish", Su Yan's eyes were slightly cold, he took a step of more than ten meters, and turned around suddenly.

As he expected, the ghostly corpse appeared behind him, and the big pale hand grabbed it directly, but it was in vain.

"My head... where is my head...give me back my head..."
The creepy corpse murmured, and leaped forward, the news was as swift as the wind.

"boom!"
Su Yan greeted him with a wave of his hand, and the true energy of the sun surged out from the palm of his hand. The blazing golden flame instantly illuminated the large area of ​​the forest, and at the same time drowned the rushing corpses in the sea of ​​flames.

At this time, there was a sudden "hum" trembling in the sea of ​​fire, and immediately after that, a large amount of water power exuding an evil aura appeared in the air.

Su Yan's heart trembled, those water powers were actually black, rushing towards the sea of ​​fire crazily, and extinguished the flames of his true energy as soon as they came into contact, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

The flames were extinguished, and the ghostly corpse appeared in Su Yan's line of sight intact. In front of him was a black-colored bead the size of a pigeon egg. The surface of the bead was intertwined with black lines, exuding a palpitating aura.

"The ghost really has self-awareness, and unexpectedly found such a strange bead to suppress my flames." Su Yan's heart sank slightly, and he was also curious about the black bead, what was it, and it could actually Gathering the power of black water, you can also suppress your true energy flames.

"This is dark water beads. I didn't expect the ghost to bring this kind of thing." Ye Lan'er's voice sounded in Su Yan's mind, "Although Yanyang Zhenqi is very strong in attributes, water can overcome fire. In addition, your realm is not enough, so you will be suppressed by the power of Mingshui gathered by Mingshui beads."
