Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 143 Inquiry
There was confusion between Li Fan's brows. He didn't quite understand why the Peacock Demon King was staring at him.

"Don't worry, this Peacock Demon King won't be able to get rampant." Qu Qingfeng said softly.

Li Fan nodded. It seemed that Mr. Qu was not worried about the threat from the Peacock Demon King.

In the Bailu Academy, several powerful pressures spread out, spanning the space and falling on the Peacock Demon King, causing the Peacock Demon King's evil eyes to release dazzling light.

"Peacock, the reason why Bailu Academy didn't take action is not because it can't take you down, but because it doesn't want to start a war with Yunmengze. If you dare to act so recklessly in Yunmeng City again, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this human city." A pressure fell, and the voice seemed to come from the sky.

The Peacock Demon King clearly felt several pressures falling on him at the same time. A gorgeous shadow of wings appeared behind him, flapping slowly, and the bright divine light was gorgeous and dazzling. He stared in the direction of the White Deer Academy and said, "What an arrogant tone."

He didn't believe that with his speed, no one in Bailu Academy could keep him.

"You can try. If you dare to touch anyone again, the great demon from Yunmengze will come to collect your body." The voice came again, and the evil eyes of the Peacock Demon were cold.

The divine light was brilliant, but he did not dare to act rashly.

"Om..."

His figure flashed, and divine light shot towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the crowd's sight. A voice came from the sky: "In this case, we will meet again later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying demonic aura dissipated, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and many human practitioners breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that Bailu Academy was worthy of being the holy place of Jiangzhou. It seemed that it had the confidence to kill the Peacock Demon King.

Li Fan also felt the demonic energy dissipating in the academy. Qu Qingfeng said, "It's okay now, but judging from what the Peacock Demon King said, he may not let it go."

Li Fan nodded, he felt it too.

Qu Qingfeng looked at Li Fan and said, "The last time the demons in Yunmeng Lake rioted, it was very strange. For many years, Yunmeng Lake and Yunmeng City have maintained a delicate balance, and there has never been such a riot. Now it seems that the riot was not intended to hunt down human practitioners, but may have just come for you."

"Coming for me?" Although Li Fan also noticed that this matter was a bit strange, he didn't understand why the demons in Yunmengze were targeting him?
"Yes." Qu Qingfeng nodded: "Think carefully about the details of the last battle. After you, the Peacock Demon King even wanted to capture you, and then transformed into a human to enter Yunmeng City to find you. Now he is not hesitating to show up and threaten you, which shows that the Peacock Demon King is eager to capture you."

Li Fan looked thoughtful. Qu Qingfeng looked into the distance and whispered, "If that's the case, the Peacock Demon King is probably acting on orders."

"Follow orders?" Li Fan asked Qu Qingfeng, "Is there any demon in Yunmeng Lake that is superior to the Demon King?"

"It is recorded in the academy that in the deepest part of Yunmengze, the leader of all the monsters is honored as the Monster Saint. Below the Monster Saint are the monster kings. The Peacock Monster King is just one of the monster kings under him." Qu Qingfeng said: "According to the academy's speculation, the power in the deepest part of Yunmengze should be far greater than that of the White Deer Academy. If the White Deer Academy was not afraid of it, why would they let the Peacock Monster King leave?"

"It's not difficult to keep the Peacock Demon King, but if it triggers a bigger demon riot, it will be a catastrophe for Yunmeng City. According to the records of the White Deer Academy, if the great demon in the deepest part of Yunmeng Lake is born, Yunmeng City will not be able to defend itself."

After listening to this, Li Fan understood that the reason why humans and Yunmengze had maintained a balance for many years was because both sides had their concerns.

But if the Peacock Demon King came here on orders, then he could only be following the orders of the Yunmengze Demon Saint.

If their inference was correct, why did the Demon Saint want to capture him?
Then, there seems to be only one possibility.

The demon inside him.

The demon in his body had always troubled him and caused him a lot of suffering, but now his body and the demon in his body had reached a certain balance, and the demon's power could even facilitate his practice, so that he gradually ignored the demon's existence.

So, it was because he entered Yunmengze that the Demon Saint sensed the presence of the demon in his body?

The Peacock Demon King is a great demon in the sixth realm, so the demon leader in the deepest part of Yunmengze must be even stronger, so it is not surprising that he can be sensed.

Apart from this, Li Fan couldn't think of anything else about him that was worthy of the attention of the Yunmengze Demon Saint.

But why didn’t the Demon Saint take him down himself?

If the Demon Saint takes action, he might not be able to get out of Yunmengze.

"Sir, I'm afraid that if I stay in the academy, it may not be beneficial to the academy. It would be better if..." Li Fan had the idea of ​​leaving again.

"Huangji Sect has set its sights on you, and Yunmengze is also going to take you. If you leave Yunmeng City now, I'm afraid you'll be targeted as soon as you step out." Qu Qingfeng said, "Therefore, you'd better stay in the academy."

"Too."

Li Fan knew that what Mr. Qu said was correct. Two major forces were eyeing him, one was the top sect in the city, and the other was the demonic force outside the city.

Moreover, it is still unclear whether the imperial court is behind the Huangji Sect.

"It's useless to think too much, just do what you have to do." Qu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Practice, practice. A person's life is a practice. If you can take it and let it go, you have entered the door of practice."

"Just entering the door of cultivation?" Li Fan asked. Mr. Qu has a calm nature and is not an ordinary person.

"Yeah." Qu Qingfeng smiled and nodded, without further explanation, he walked away.

Li Fan is still young, and the road of spiritual practice in life is long, so he needs to figure it out on his own.

He looked at Lu Yuan, only to see that she was frowning and looked a little worried. He couldn't help but smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Yuan looked at him. Li Fan felt like he was asking a question he already knew the answer to. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems like you didn't take Mr. Qu's words to heart."

"Mr. Qu is a person who lives in seclusion. I have not reached such a realm yet." Lu Yuan replied.

"Then, practice sword?" Li Fan said with a smile.

When Lu Yuan heard the words "practice swordplay", her eyes lit up and she said, "Okay."

Li Fan didn't think about it and stayed in the academy to practice. Xiao Qiang also entered the academy to study, making the academy more lively and adding many topics.

On this day, the academy's library.

Li Fan was browsing books here. Although he was not a student of the academy, Mr. Qu said that he could look through the sword-cultivation manuals collected by Bailu Academy. Although they might not be as strong as the sword-cultivation he practiced, it would be beneficial to read the sword-cultivation manuals.

Moreover, different sword scriptures can verify each other and also help his practice.

Li Fan has now reached the out-of-body realm, and the next realm is to build the foundation. In addition to comprehending the swordsmanship of his predecessors, he needs to explore his own swordsmanship.

At this time, Li Fan was flipping through a sword manual. Not far away, some academy disciples would occasionally glance at him, but they did not disturb him. It was just that Li Fan was too famous now.

In the quiet library, Li Fan was engrossed in reading.

There were footsteps coming from the side, and a figure walked up to Li Fan and also took out a sword manual to read. A faint fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart.

This scene attracted a lot of attention again.

After entering the academy, she was quiet for a few days. Now, is she taking action again?
The person standing next to Li Fan was Xiao Qiang.

"I heard that you are in the academy, but you are not a student." Xiao Qiang said softly: "White Deer Academy protects your safety and allows you to enter the library. Why don't you join the academy?"

Li Fan ignored it.

"Your swordsmanship is extraordinary, and you have comprehended the sword's meaning. With such talent, you should have already had a master, so you didn't enter the academy." Xiao Qiang continued, looking at Li Fan's profile, and asked: "Am I right?"

Li Fan had previously guessed that the Huangji Sect might be related to the imperial court, so he was not surprised that Xiao Qiang wanted to test his opinion.

However, as the daughter of the Huangji Sect, Xiao Qiang does not seem to be suitable for doing this.

The means were really crude.

"Does this have anything to do with Miss Xiao?" Li Fan responded in a low voice: "You seem to be a little too curious."

"If I say I'm very interested in you, would you believe me?" Xiao Qiang said.

"Should I believe it?" Li Fan finally looked up at her.

"You are a child of destiny, you have superb swordsmanship, extraordinary talent, and great looks. Why can't I be interested in you?" Xiao Qiang looked directly at Li Fan with an aggressive look.

Her father asked her to come and find out about Li Fan's background. The reason she came was because she was indeed very interested in Li Fan.

This sentence is not a lie.

Li Fan smiled and shook his head, looking away from her.

"What is your relationship with Lu Yuan?" Xiao Qiang continued to ask.

Li Fan ignored him.

"I heard from people in the academy that you knew each other before, and she is also good at swordsmanship. Could it be that you and Lu Yuan were from the same school?" Xiao Qiang said again.

Li Fan put down the sword manual and turned to leave.

Xiao Qiang raised her feet and followed behind Li Fan.

"Interesting." The disciples of the academy were all interested when seeing this scene. Is Xiao Qiang trying to snatch the person from Lu Yuan?
However, she doesn't seem to have any advantages.

It is common for men to chase women, but it is rare for the daughter of Huangji Sect to chase others.

Li Fan walked out of the library and saw Xiao Qiang still following him. He said in a cold tone, "If Miss Xiao continues to be so rude, don't blame me for being rude."

"I didn't do anything to you. I just have some interest in you. How can you be rude to me?" Xiao Qiang said.

"Miss Xiao, what is your intention in probing into my confidence? Is the previous news about my identity in Yunmeng City related to the Huangji Sect?" Li Fan stopped and his eyes suddenly turned cold. A murderous intent emanated from his body and the sword energy enveloped Xiao Qiang.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Xiao Qiang clearly sensed a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and she felt a chill all over her body.

However, Xiao Qiang did not show any fear in her eyes. She still looked at Li Fan and said, "Just because I am interested in you, you want to kill me?"

"You don't believe that I'm interested in you, so how can I prove it to you?" Xiao Qiang continued to walk forward, approaching Li Fan and staring into his eyes.

Li Fan raised his arm and slapped it forward. Suddenly a wave of air swept out and the palm force hit Xiao Qiang, knocking her body away.

Xiao Qiang's body was knocked back, and she looked at Li Fan in surprise. He actually took action?

"This is a warning." Li Fan said coldly: "I won't be so polite next time."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Bastard." Xiao Qiang cursed in a low voice as she looked at his back, biting her lips lightly, seeming a little aggrieved.
