Chapter 1736 Nutrient

"When the master arrives, he will not let you go! You, and all of you... everyone here will die!" Wan Qianqiu had completely gone mad.

He only wanted to save his own life! He was willing to sacrifice the entire student body of the academy!

"I'll sacrifice you! I'll sacrifice you! I'll turn you all into nourishment for my master to become stronger! Hahahahahaha...!" Wan Qianqiu laughed so hard he almost choked.

“I know where the evil aura on Instructor Fang comes from.” Ruan Yu calmly watched Wan Qianqiu go mad.

At this moment, Wan Qianqiu was enveloped in a crimson aura. This aura was terrifyingly malevolent!

The tiny bit of evil aura emanating from Instructor Fang was utterly insignificant compared to this evil aura.

"Huh? I have evil energy on me?" Upon hearing Ruan Yu's words, Instructor Fang touched his chest and back in alarm.

But nothing was found.

"They've arrived." Ruan Yu withdrew her oppressive aura from the elders and looked up at the sky.

There was clearly nothing there.

suddenly!

The sky was torn apart by something, so fast that no one present except Ruan Yu saw it!

It is a tentacle.

Tentacles covered in spikes and mouthparts, emitting poisonous gas.

"Master!" The oppressive aura emanating from Wan Qianqiu dissipated, and he was overjoyed, kneeling down reverently. "Welcome, Master!"

The elders immediately scurried behind Ruan Yu like little chicks, hiding there.

"What it is?"

They watched in horror as the gaping hole in the sky grew ever wider.

A huge tentacle emerged from it.

A terrifying aura and poisonous gas spread rapidly.

Ruan Yu took out the antidote pills and distributed them to the people behind her: "Eat them."

"It's an antidote!" An elder alchemist swallowed the pill without hesitation.

One elder failed to swallow the pill in time, and the poison invaded his entire body in an instant. He didn't even have time to scream: "Ugh!"

The next second, his body crashed heavily to the ground, his skin, flesh, and even bones decayed and rotted, turning into nutrients to be absorbed by the tentacles in the air.

The evil influence has become even stronger.

Ruan Yu threw out dozens of isolation talismans, setting up layers of airtight barriers around them.

"Let's go." She pushed Xia Lian'er and Instructor Fang out.

With their cultivation levels, staying here would surely mean certain death!

The remaining elders also wanted to leave: "Your Excellency, could you please let us go?"

Ruan Yu: "Have you thought this through? Once the poison gas spreads, not only will the people of Wanling Academy die, but the people of Holy Spirit City will also die!"

Upon hearing this, the elders' fearful eyes suddenly hardened: "No! My wife, children, and elderly parents are all in Holy Spirit City. I cannot leave!"

"I'm not leaving either. Although I'm all alone, the academy has disciples whom I've poured my heart and soul into nurturing. I'm not leaving!"

"I...I'm not leaving either. Wanling Academy is my home! If I lose my home, what's the point of my life?"

"To live or die with the academy!"

They want to protect the people and everything they care about!

Wan Qianqiu, who had just been lying on the ground like a dead dog, was now standing up. He put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly, "If you don't leave, you'll all become nourishment for your master! Just like that elder!"

"Master! It's this woman who ruined your grand plan! You must not let her get away with this!"

He pointed at Ruan Yu.

The tentacle slapped him hard, sending him flying: "Didn't I tell you not to bother me easily, except for that person!"

Wan Qianqiu was beaten and unable to move. His voice trembled as he said, "I know... but Master, she discovered the magic array you set up! I had no choice but to make you show yourself!"

"Oh?"

A gaze locked onto Ruan Yu.

When the owner of the voice saw her face clearly, he suddenly became excited: "Hahahaha!! I've been searching for you for years! I never thought I'd find you so easily!"

Ruan Yu: "?" What does that mean? Do you know her?

However, the voice did sound quite familiar to her.

"Get out here!" Ruan Yu shot out a blade of light, severing the tentacle.

"Ah!" A woman's angry voice echoed from the void: "Ruan Yu! After all this time, you are still as repulsive as ever!"

A figure flew out a second before the void closed.

Upon seeing her face, Ruan Yu's pupils contracted: "Qianxun!"

She never imagined it would be Qianxun! However, the Qianxun of today was no longer the aloof young lady she once was. All her noble air had vanished, replaced by a sinister and sinister aura.

She could no longer be called human; her appearance and body remained human, but her arms had turned into tentacles, and her legs had become giant tree roots.

"It's rare that you still remember me." Qianxun fell from the sky.

"Thump!" Her legs were firmly planted in the ground.

Ruan Yu remained vigilant, constantly on guard against anything below: "Of course I'll remember you. After all, not every defeated opponent is as difficult to kill as you."

"You!" Qianxun was indeed enraged.

But she did not act immediately.

"Master, save me... my body is about to break apart." Wan Qianqiu crawled to Qianxun's feet.

But Qianxun didn't even glance at him. She slapped him with her tentacles, instantly turning Wan Qianqiu into dust and blood mist!

Then, a wisp of evil energy flew back into Qianxun's body.

"Useless trash, should die!"

"The Dean... is dead?" The elders stared in disbelief at what had happened.

They knew the dean had done something wrong, which could be detrimental to the entire academy. But they never imagined the dean would die so suddenly.

"You monster, it was you who controlled the Dean!"

They glared at Qianxun with furious eyes, "I'm going to kill you!"

"How dare these mere chickens and dogs blaspheme against the gods?" Qianxun's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "If you don't make a move soon, these people will die."

She was speaking to Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu did not respond; her thoughts were in turmoil.

She always felt that things had developed in a way that was far more complicated than they appeared on the surface. Why had she, by such a coincidence, ended up following Instructor Fang into the Academy of All Spirits?

Because of evil influences.

The evil energy originated from Qianxun.

Therefore, Qianxun already knew of her existence and deliberately lured her here! In that fleeting glimpse of Holy Spirit City, the familiar face she sensed was Qianxun!

If that's the case, then everything that has happened from the beginning until now has been Qianxun's scheme!

Are Mu Liuqing and those ghostly spirits also among them? Could it be that Qianxun had already laid numerous traps here?

"Did you notice something was wrong?" Qianxun noticed that she was distracted and moved her hand.

Immediately afterwards, tiny red threads, almost invisible to the naked eye, emerged from the ground and pierced the skin of several elders.

"You're not Qianxun!" Ruan Yu saw through the truth at a glance.

"Xulian!" She swung her sword and severed the red thread.
