#1286 - Chapter 1286 He is definitely dead

Ye Kong nodded.

Yu Haitou also didn't turn back and stepped onto the steps.

How arduous this journey will be depends entirely on individual fortune.

But with the Tanhualang's years of personal guidance, it certainly won't be too bad.

Without delay, Ye Kong immediately rushed to the Upper Realm Heavenly Palace.

At this time, the people of the Taichu Academy who were waiting in the other courtyard were going crazy.

The sky gradually brightened, but Ye Kong was still nowhere to be seen. All the colorful silver butterflies were either dead or had disappeared.

There was nothing they could do.

They could only wait until dawn, when they would face the sarcasm of other sects in the Floating Light Hall, and even if they lost face, they would have to fight for Ye Kong.

As soon as it dawned, footsteps could be heard outside the other hall. It was those who had come to inquire about Ye Kong's whereabouts, who were slapped away by Elder Wang.

"Elder Wang, what should we do now? Ye Kong hasn't returned yet. How should we explain to everyone, how should we explain to the Heavenly Emperor?" Zhang Tie asked.

Elder Wang's palm tightened. The signal he sent to Ye Kong suddenly cut off. Now, even the always calm Elder Wang was a little worried.

However, Elder Wang still remained calm, "Don't worry, just go directly. By the way, the breakfast at Jinhua Hall is good, let's eat before we go!"

In Jinhua Hall, the people from other sects stared intently at the people from Taichu Academy who came in, scrutinizing them several times, but they didn't see Ye Kong's figure.

The crowd began to whisper.

"It seems Ye Kong really doesn't dare to come! Look at Elder Wang's serious face, he must be pretending that Ye Kong will come back!"

"That's right, Ye Kong is definitely hiding somewhere now, afraid to come!"

"Haha, Ye Kong is indeed all reputation. Maybe the Taichu Academy interfered in the sect ranking competition, so all the false fame went to Ye Kong. I also heard that last time in the Quick Sand Gulch, Ye Kong escaped in a sorry state, even abandoning his face!"

… …

Pa!

A cabbage pancake was perfectly tossed into the air, making a three hundred and sixty degree turn before heavily hitting the face of the person who was speaking!

The white sauce on the cabbage pancake covered his entire face, and the green vegetable leaves stuck closely to his facial features, making him look ridiculous and laughable.

This person angrily tore off the pancake and shouted at the crowd.

"Who is it, who dares to throw a pancake at me? Are you looking for death?"

"Oh? Someone wants to die?"

A light voice came, and then a person wearing a purple and gold-trimmed robe floated in from outside, walking step by step towards the crowd.

"It's Ye Kong!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Ye Kong.

Ye Kong was dressed in an unusual attire, and looked at the center of the crowd with interest. The voice from just now suddenly disappeared, and then the person who spoke showed a look of horror.

Ye Kong walked over step by step, passed through the crowd, and walked directly towards the people of Taichu Academy.

Then, he said to Elder Wang with guilt, "Master, I'm late."

Elder Wang looked at Ye Kong for a long time before saying, "It's good that you're here. It just so happens that breakfast is ready, let's eat first."

Zhang Tie came up and patted Ye Kong on the shoulder, leaned close to Ye Kong's ear, "Where did you really go? We were looking for you, and there was no news at all."

Ye Kong smiled, "I was busy with some things, I came over as soon as I finished. By the way, am I not too late?"

"No, no. Ye Kong, you are the only master in the heavens and on earth, how dare we be presumptuous in front of you?"

This disciple's words were quickly despised by everyone, but no one dared to speak up and break the atmosphere.

Ye Kong ignored him and took the white fungus and snow lotus soup that Zhang Tie had specially served. He scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and without chewing, it slid smoothly down his throat, and the fragrance exploded in his mouth.

Ye Kong finished the whole bowl with satisfaction. At this time, the Heavenly Emperor summoned everyone to the Floating Light Hall.

Zhang Tie quickly explained the current situation to Ye Kong in a few words. Ye Kong quickly found the key point, "So, everyone thinks that the extermination of the clan was done by the Anti-Realm Sect?"

"That's what we can say now." Zhang Tie glanced at the sect disciples who came in from the side, and whispered, "And now this situation is very unfavorable to our Taichu Academy. Other small sects have chosen to attach themselves to the Hanlin Academy, and I heard that at yesterday's reception, the Hanlin Academy and Changqing Academy and several other academies also expressed their willingness to cooperate."

Now this situation completely puts the Taichu Academy on the fire to be roasted.

However, now that Ye Kong has returned, it can be regarded as giving the Taichu Academy a glimmer of hope. If Ye Kong gets the position of team leader in the secret investigation team, relying on the big tree of the Upper Realm, he can naturally seek perfection.

Ye Kong snorted coldly, "Even if all their sects are added together, they are just ants under the feet of the Taichu Academy, and they cannot shake it in the slightest.

I have never heard that nowadays, instead of relying on deep spiritual power, we start looking at how many people there are?"

However, now, it is still reluctant for Ye Kong to enter the secret investigation team, and it is quite difficult to become the captain.

After all, the current rumors are extremely unfavorable to Ye Kong.

"What rumors? You can't just push the extermination of these sects all on me, can you?" Ye Kong tilted his head and asked.

Zhang Tie looked at Ye Kong and nodded helplessly.

"Damn it!" Even Ye Kong couldn't help but swear. It seems that whether it is the Upper Realm or other places, his reputation is really not very good.

"We all believe that these things have nothing to do with you!" Zhang Tie put his arm around Ye Kong's arm.

"But it seems it's not enough."

In the Floating Light Hall, people from various sects stood densely packed in the hall. Elder Wang of the Taichu Academy took the lead, and Ye Kong followed closely behind Elder Wang.

"Since Ye Kong is here, let's continue the content of yesterday's meeting." The Heavenly Emperor spoke directly, then looked at Ye Kong and asked casually, "Ye Kong, what do you think about joining the secret investigation team?"

Isn't the Heavenly Emperor's words a blatant invitation?

Ye Kong stood up, met the Heavenly Emperor's eyes, and said directly, "I refuse to join the secret investigation team."

"What?" Even the Heavenly Emperor was extremely surprised to hear such an answer.

Not to mention the people of Taichu Academy, and all the people of the sects!

Ye Kong actually refused directly!

He is definitely dead!
