#1301 - Chapter 1301: Revenge

Before one trouble subsides, another arises. A massive fire suddenly broke out in the Hanlin Academy, causing casualties among most of the disciples. Hanxuan of the Hanlin Academy and Elder Lou Boren were burned, leaving them half-paralyzed and bedridden in the medical pavilion for over half a month, unable to recover. Both even seemed terrified of something, consistently avoiding public appearances.

According to insiders, this was because a mysterious figure had left something on the two elders.

Now, the Hanlin Academy is in a state of leaderless chaos.

Because of this, all the sects are in a state of anxiety, and they gathered again in the Upper Realm to denounce the mysterious figure.

The long-burning lamps of the Upper Realm remained lit for three consecutive days as the sect elders discussed the matter heatedly, filled with righteous indignation, demanding an explanation from the Upper Realm.

"What explanation?" The Heavenly Emperor, sitting above, rubbed his forehead. "The appearance of this mysterious figure clearly has a purpose, and until now, we don't even know what his abilities are."

"Enough. Everyone, go and investigate separately. The results of the investigation will be included in the year-end assessments of each sect. Before we know what this mysterious figure is up to, everyone must be more careful, strengthen yourselves, and ensure your own safety."

The meeting ended unhappily. Some smaller sects followed and attended meetings with the sects they were affiliated with. The sects dependent on the Hanlin Academy were now like headless flies, hurrying back to their territories, filled with anxiety.

"But speaking of which, your actions have made the already chaotic sects even more chaotic. Isn't that much more enjoyable?"

Ye Kong let out a long sigh. "Indeed, it's much more satisfying."

"Won't doing this have a negative impact on the Taichu Academy? Moreover, the Taichu Academy jade pendant's restraint..." Lin Xing said, looking up to see that Ye Kong's waist was already empty.

"As you can see, Taichu Academy disciple Ye Kong is already dead, so I no longer need to bear the shackles of the Taichu Academy," Ye Kong said, taking another sip. It was hard to imagine what kind of days he had been living.

"Hmm." Lin Xing smiled brilliantly. "I thought you were holding back a big move, following the arrangements and cultivating slowly. I didn't expect you to expose yourself so quickly.

However, as the outside world says, you chose a very cowardly way to die."

"It's just that the situation at the time gave me inspiration, so I went along with it. But speaking of which, I do need to investigate something," Ye Kong said, having sunbathed enough. He got up, wearing only a pair of shorts, revealing his good physique.

"If you keep staring at me like that, I might suspect something else," Ye Kong said, taking a few steps closer, meeting Lin Xing's probing gaze.

"Indeed, I'm thinking about your true identity. Ye Kong, you seem much more capable than you appear on the surface."

"There's no way around it. Having a high face value will always block some other thoughts. Also, you don't need to follow me this time. We still need someone to accompany the thing in the cage."

That night, Ye Kong flashed into the Red Pavilion.

The decorations in the Red Pavilion were as usual, with lanterns lit. Occasional sweet words could be heard inside. Ye Kong appeared directly on the beam where he had stood before, just in time for a good show.

The two people below were still going about their business, completely unaware that there was a third person in the room.

The woman was charmingly entwined on the bed, whispering and laughing, when she unexpectedly met a pair of eyes on the beam.

"Ah..."

A scream pierced the night.

Seeing this, Ye Kong jumped down. The man on the bed, seeing this, immediately pulled up his pants and ran away. Ye Kong approached the woman step by step, clicking his tongue. The contempt in his eyes couldn't be concealed. "I didn't expect that after so long, your taste in men is still as bad as ever."

Madam Qingping also didn't expect to see Ye Kong again. The fear on her face couldn't be concealed. After all, the previous example was there, and moreover, she had contributed a lot to the "death of Ye Kong."

"Ye Kong, you, aren't you dead?" Madam Qingping thought she was dreaming.

"Oh, dead but not dead. Thanks to you. Aren't you also dead?" Ye Kong asked directly.

He also suddenly remembered that Madam Qingping possessed a unique secret technique, the False Death Art, one day dead, two days alive, three days doubling spiritual power.

Heh, he was so anxious at the time that he had forgotten about this.

"However, I heard that this False Death Art has a little flaw..." Ye Kong tapped a few times.

"Coincidentally, I specifically learned a trick before coming here. Since we're here, you can give me some pointers."

The next day, Madam Qingping was nowhere to be found in the Red Pavilion.

When Ye Kong returned, he also bought two generous breakfasts, small steamed buns from the Wang family next door, purple rice fried dough sticks, freshly made soy milk, with yellow bean curd skin on top, carefully carried in jade porcelain bowls, and placed next to him, still warm.

Lin Xing was woken up by the aroma. Seeing that Ye Kong had returned so early and had even bought breakfast with great interest, she knew that he must have accomplished something significant, so she didn't ask much. She only reminded Ye Kong, "The thing in the cage is clamoring to see you."

"No rush, let's wear down his spirit some more," Ye Kong said, picking up a vegetable dish for Lin Xing.

After eating, Lin Xing cleaned up. "How long are you going to stay here? I think you've done enough."

"What's the rush? It's not enough," Ye Kong said unhappily.

"Tsk, I really feel sorry for those who have offended you. By the way, who else is there? The Taichu Academy must be the biggest target, right? Can I plead for them?" Lin Xing joked.

"Completely unnecessary."

Ye Kong calculated with his fingers. "Although your suggestion is not bad, it's just not necessary."

What happens to the Taichu Academy later, given that there are so many experts, Ye Kong doesn't need to add another kick.

It's just that when the time comes, there won't be a chief disciple like Ye Kong to stand alone.

"However, I'm still curious. Since we didn't decide a winner last time, how about you use your true strength to fight me?"

Ye Kong raised his eyes. It came when it came.

Ye Kong didn't hide anything and directly attacked, a Cloud-Breaking Palm striking over. Lin Xing directly raised her palm.

Two huge halos surrounded them, and the surrounding sand, water, and stones were all blasted up, creating a huge storm, enveloping the two of them.

Ye Kong chuckled and exerted force again. The entire golden halo rapidly grew larger, suppressing Lin Xing's cyan halo, which rapidly shrank, flattened to the extreme.
