Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 274 Seeing Shi Hao Again
Upon hearing this, the Lunar Jade Rabbit's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and her pair of watery eyes turned to him.

Shi Qingyun slowly put down his teacup and said to the two of them in a calm and unhurried manner:

"Then let's go take a look together."

Upon hearing this, the Moon Jade Rabbit nodded to him immediately.

After he answered, as his divine power flowed, a wisp of yin and yang energy quietly circulated beneath his feet. Centered on him, a splash of ink-wash color spread out between the three of them.

Before the Moon Jade Rabbit could react, a water-ink barrier enveloped the three of them.

"Walk."

As Shi Qingyun spoke calmly, ripples immediately spread through the space.

The Moon Jade Rabbit looked up and saw that the surrounding things were gradually becoming illusory, and waves of spatial fluctuations were rapidly transmitted over.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that the three figures had reappeared at the entrance of the Heavenly God Academy.

Meanwhile, a battle was taking place at the entrance of the academy. Shi Hao, with white hair and white clothes, stood suspended in the void, exuding an incomparably domineering aura.

The long sword in his hand exuded a terrifying aura, and his aura was perfectly round and flawless. Just by standing in mid-air, he seemed to be able to split the earth and shatter mountains with every move he made.

Opposite him stood another imposing man, none other than Jin Zhan, the peerless prodigy of the Jin family, a family of immortal beings.

Jin Zhan held a golden crystal longsword in his hand, and a pair of golden wings behind him gleamed with a cold, sharp light.

"Shi Hao, I never thought you would actually come back alive. Those who have committed sins should atone for their sins in such a place."

"Since you're here, then you might as well die here!"

“You haven’t joined the Heavenly God Academy yet, so the academy won’t protect you.”

"Then just obediently wait to die!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao pointed the Great Luo Sword Embryo at Jin Zhan, his eyes indifferent, his fighting spirit rising, and the space beneath his feet shattered inch by inch.

"Is that so? Then die today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Hao stopped talking and went straight for Jin Zhan to attack.

Sensing the battle taking place here, many disciples rushed over to see Shi Hao, who was fighting Jin Zhan to a standstill.

Some cultivators who had previously looked down on Shi Hao because of his identity now had to take him seriously, and they frowned as they looked at the ferocious Shi Hao in mid-air.

The arrival of the three attracted the attention of some people, but they didn't pay much attention. Only the chubby Cao Yusheng ran over as soon as he saw the three.

"You are finally here."

"Those people wouldn't let Shi Hao into the academy, and they even tried to take him away!"

“That’s really too much!”

Upon hearing this, the Moon Jade Rabbit revealed a hint of anger in its large, watery eyes.

Staring intently at the disciples of the Jin and Feng clans, the Qilin in her arms also bared its teeth.

Just as Feng Yu was itching to join the battle, he felt a chill run down his spine. When he turned around, he saw Shi Qingyun's indifferent gaze fixed on him.

A strong premonition ran through him that if he made a move, he would be blown to pieces the next moment. He swallowed hard and pulled back the foot he was about to step out.

He kept thinking back to whether there was a person named Shi Qingyun in the academy.

Seeing that Feng Yu was so sensible, the light in Shi Qingyun's eyes gradually dimmed as he watched the aftershocks surging out of the void.

A hint of amazement flickered in her heart. Although she knew that Shi Hao's cultivation speed was very fast, she couldn't help but sigh at his unparalleled cultivation level.

The battle in the void grew increasingly fierce, and space itself shattered inch by inch like a mirror.

Jin Zhan looked at Shi Hao, who was handling the situation with ease, and his eyes blazed with killing intent as divine power surged from his body.

Behind him, golden wings rapidly unfolded, their feathers shimmering with golden light, transforming into streaks of golden light that pierced the void and hurtled towards Shi Hao.

Upon seeing the overwhelming surge of golden light, Shi Hao noticed the phantom of a Kunpeng flashing behind him, its figure moving like a ghost as it dodged the dense golden feathers.

"It's time to decide the winner!"

Shi Qingyun said this casually, which immediately drew stares from some people around him, as if they were looking at a fool.

"Jin Zhan is a recognized prodigy, how could he be defeated by a sinner..."

A cultivator who was about to make a sarcastic remark swallowed his words after sensing the deadly danger coming from in front of and behind him.

The witch and the Moon Rabbit on the other side, however, had a look of joy in their eyes, and they believed Shi Qingyun's words without a doubt.

Having witnessed Shi Qingyun's spatial mastery, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit knew that the red-clad man beside her was unfathomable.

Sure enough, after a few more exchanges, chaotic energy surged on the blade of Shi Hao's sword, and his figure traversed the void, appearing directly in front of Jin Zhan.

With a single swing of the sword, the air shattered and bones broke.

Jin Zhan's body shot out like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground, with specks of golden blood splattering in the air.

Those cultivators who had previously thought Shi Qingyun was a madman were speechless upon seeing this scene.

Unexpectedly, Shi Hao's strength was so terrifying. In just a few exchanges, he defeated a renowned prodigy.

"So...so awesome!"

"What kind of crime is this? It's so serious!"

"Jin Zhan actually lost?"

Jin Zhan, inside the pit, looked at the deep sword wound on his chest, a hint of fear flickering in his eyes.

He was just one step away from being cut in half at the waist; the suffocating feeling of impending death almost stopped his heart.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao, in the void, looked at Jin Zhan lying on the ground with a calm and indifferent expression, while his long sword flashed with a cold light in mid-air.

He turned his gaze toward the direction of Shi Qingyun and the others, and a smile appeared on his lips when he saw the witch and other familiar people.

Shi Qingyun frowned slightly, and in the next instant, his divine power surged rapidly within him as he stomped his foot on the ground.

With a deafening roar, his figure appeared behind Shi Hao.

A majestic and domineering glass dharma image emerged from the void, and in the dharma image's hand, a blood-stained chaotic longsword was swung forward.

Shi Hao also sensed the deadly danger coming from behind him. His divine power surged rapidly, and he swung his long sword forward fiercely.

"Rumble"

A deafening sound suddenly rang out, and the Chaos Sword firmly blocked a wind blade that shimmered with silver light.

With just one strike, cracks began to appear on the glass-like Dharma image.

The blood staining the Chaos Sword emitted a blazing light.

The illusory figures of Shi Qingyun and Shi Hao were unable to stop themselves from retreating backward.

A hint of icy coldness flashed in Shi Qingyun's eyes. A long sword appeared in his hand, pointing forward, and he said in a chilling voice:

"Your act of harming others behind their backs is utterly despicable!"

"They're still hiding their true colors at this point, truly tarnishing the reputation of the Nine Heavens Sect Master!"

His aura was released without reservation; although it was only the might of a celestial being, it possessed the imposing presence of someone facing a thousand armies. As his words fell, the void in front of him gradually shattered, and a majestic figure slowly emerged from it.

With each step they took, the Great Dao roared, and an immense pressure weighed heavily on the two of them.

With his knees slightly bent and his eyes filled with solemnity, he looked at the person who had just appeared before him.

Yuan Qing's eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he stared intently at Shi Qingyun, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

If Shi Qingyun hadn't intervened at the last moment, Shi Hao would have been a corpse by now.

"You're the one who dragged me into the Primordial Ancient Mine, aren't you?!"

Shi Hao shook his arm, which was a little numb, and spoke coldly to Yuan Qing.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to escape from that kind of place."

"You're really tough! But you won't have another chance this time!"

Yuan Qing sensed the rapidly approaching aura from within the academy and no longer hesitated, gathering wisps of azure energy in his hand.

Shi Qingyun felt a chill rise from his tailbone straight up to the top of his head. Divine power surged rapidly within his body, and a phantom image of a great realm slowly emerged behind him.

Just as Yuan Qing was about to attack the two of them again.

"Shh-"

With a crisp sound that tore through space, a golden stream of light pierced through Yuan Qing's figure.

The wind blade in his hand vanished instantly, and the sinister expression on his face immediately turned into astonishment as he felt the pain that swept through his entire body.

His body immediately knelt down, and drops of golden blood fell from his mouth, landing in the void and instantly crushing a section of space.

"Meng Tianzheng!"

Yuan Qing looked at the withered branch, uttered those words indignantly, and then turned his gaze to the depths of the Heavenly God Academy.

"This is not a place for you to run wild!"

"You shall abide by the ancient covenant and go to the border!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to retort, he felt a murderous intent lock onto him from the sky.

I know that at this point, I have no other choice.

Meng Tianzheng thought that since Shi Hao had not yet joined the Heavenly God Academy, he would not care. He planned to kill him and then escape.

He never expected that the two people in front of him would be so highly regarded by Meng Tianzheng. This time, he has really made a mistake.

He could only suppress his anger and say to Meng Tianzheng:
"Very well, I will fulfill the alliance. I hope Elder Meng will not take his anger out on the Feng Clan!"

After saying this, he turned around and his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

After Yuan Qing left, Shi Qingyun's originally high spirits immediately deflated, and a few drops of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao's face also turned somewhat pale.

The Third Elder appeared beside the two and channeled several strands of divine power into their bodies, after which their complexions returned to normal.

Seeing Shi Qingyun's appearance, the witch flashed to his side, her eyes filled with worry.

"Let's go to the academy first; there are too many people and too much attention here."

As the Third Elder spoke, he waved his sleeve and disappeared with everyone, leaving the disciples who had been watching the spectacle only just coming to their senses.

They began to look at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock, unable to believe what had just happened; all these changes had come too quickly.

"Yuan Qing of the Feng Clan, a master of the Escape Realm, his attack was blocked by those two just like that?"

"Is this fake? It must have been the Grand Elder who made the move in secret, otherwise those two would have been blown to pieces on the spot."

"Did you see the Grand Elder make a move? He turned the impossible into possible, defeating a master of the Escape One Realm with just a piece of withered branch!"

"Who is that red-haired man? What is his relationship with Shi Hao?"

"These two are both outstanding young talents; I really want to have a match with them!"

"..."

Like a pebble thrown into calm water, it immediately created huge ripples, and Shi Qingyun's deeds began to spread throughout the academy.

However, at this moment, everyone was led by the Third Elder to the depths of the bamboo forest.

During this time, Shi Hao naturally recognized Shi Qingyun. Although the two had not seen each other for many years, there was still a sense of familiarity.

Shi Hao recognized him as soon as he appeared.

Shi Hao also introduced Cao Yusheng and his friends to Shi Qingyun, and the scene was very joyful.

"Elder, won't the Wind Clan cause trouble if we treat Yuan Qing like this?"

Shi Qingyun spoke to the Third Elder beside him.

He hadn't expected the Grand Elder to be so fierce, almost crippling Yuan Qing in one move.

"The Grand Elder has always been like this. In recent years, if it weren't for the sake of stability..."

"Those so-called immortal families have long been dealt with by him."

"These things are none of your concern. You should focus on improving your strength as soon as possible!"

After saying this, he and Shi Hao disappeared from the spot, and the others also left after telling him to rest well.

The witch walked up to him and looked at him with concern.

"There's nothing seriously wrong. Yuan Qing probably went easy on Shi Hao because he was thinking of crippling him."

"All you need to do is rest and recover."

Shi Qingyun put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing this, the witch felt somewhat relieved, after all, that was the strongest being below the Supreme Human Being, the One of Escape.

Seeing that Shi Qingyun, a man of such stature, had taken a single blow from her, how could she not be worried?

"I imagine that in a few days, we will set off for the Chaotic Lands to search for the Seed of Dao."

"Go and rest for a while. Hopefully, you can find a perfect seed of the Dao."

The witch rolled her eyes in his arms and said to him:
“We only have a few flawless seeds of the Dao, how could they be so easy to find?”

"I'll go prepare now, you should rest and recuperate."

After saying this, she left a kiss on his cheek and gracefully walked out of the room, leaving him alone to rest.

After the witch left, Shi Qingyun looked at his palm, which was shattered like glass, with specks of blue light flashing on it.

"The gap between him and Dunyi is still too great. Even a casual strike from the opponent almost caused him to perish."

"Moreover, this power of law is like a maggot clinging to a bone, eroding the Dao body."

He shook his head and sat cross-legged on the futon, communicating with the stars within his body through his divine sense, preparing to draw upon the power of the stars to begin eliminating the Dao traces.
