Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 289 The Immortal Family
Within the red mist, one after another, hideous, withered hands rapidly emerged, their sharp claws tearing through the void and firmly gripping Jin Junyou's body.

This caused him to pause slightly, and taking advantage of this momentary lapse, the boy moved like a ghost, quickly appearing behind Jin Junyou.

His eyes were calm and still, but a faint ripple appeared in his depths. Behind him, a wave of killing intent surged forth, instantly engulfing Jin Junyou's figure.

Jin Junyou suddenly turned around, feeling the killing intent pressing down on him, as if the sky were collapsing and the ground beneath his feet was cracking inch by inch. His pupils suddenly contracted.

The boy didn't look at Jin Junyou's terrified expression; his face remained unchanged.

A seemingly ordinary punch was thrown, without any fancy moves, but with a decisive, one-hit kill.

The fist's energy ripped through the void and appeared in front of Jin Junyou in the blink of an eye.

Just as the fist was about to land on Jin Junyou's vital point, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

However, the terrifying killing intent emanating from it still damaged Jin Junyou's primordial spirit, causing his face to turn pale instantly.

He staggered and was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, someone behind him caught him.

"Always respect the strong, and never act rashly before you have a clear understanding of the enemy's strength."

"The last card is always reserved for yourself."

"This is a piece of advice for you, and also the first lesson in surviving on the battlefield."

The warm smile on the boy's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a deep, unfathomable pool. His calm eyes swept over everyone present.

Then he disappeared from the spot.

"Even an ordinary cultivator here is this powerful? That's terrifying!"

Zhan Shuyu watched the person's disappearing figure and murmured to himself.

Turning around, he saw Di Chuan and Shi Qingyun looking at him like he was an idiot.

"If everyone here is this capable, what's the point of us coming here?"

"That man looks young, but I wonder how many battles he's been through. He's at least a corporal."

"Or what do you think?"

Zhan Shuyu thought about it and realized that made sense. He then looked at Jin Junyou with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

The cultivators surrounding Shi Qingyun nodded in agreement upon hearing this, all looking at Jin Junyou with sympathy. It was truly unbelievable that he had encountered such a ruthless person so soon after arriving.

Jin Junyou's face flushed red. He shook off the support of the person behind him and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After this little incident, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit more worried about life in the borderlands.

After passing through the wide, long passage, Shi Qingyun and the others entered the city.

What comes into view is a cluster of closely connected palaces, with black and gray as the main colors, filling the city with a sense of urgency and solemnity.

Guided by the identity token, they arrived at the area where the academy was located.

Shi Qingyun's gaze swept over the palace complex enveloped by a massive array. After checking the token at the gate, he arrived at the assigned cave dwelling.

The arrival of the academy members added a touch of vitality to this otherwise somber war fortress.

And the interrogation of the newcomers also began.

As soon as the academy disciples settled in, they couldn't wait to challenge the cultivators here.

Every day is a battle between newcomers and veterans, but the outcome is self-evident.

Only a few academy prodigies could defeat their opponents; as for the rest, they were all completely overwhelmed.

On a fighting stage, a man holding a long spear, his body radiating a bloodthirsty aura, stood proudly in a corner of the black and gold arena.

Opposite him, Zhan Shuyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

"This Jin Yang is really going too far, challenging the academy disciples everywhere!"

"If it weren't for the Jin family's power, he wouldn't be so arrogant!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let others hear you, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"

Jin Yang listened to the whispers around him, his eyes filled with disdain.

Being born into a powerful family is part of one's own strength! How could these people possibly understand that?

'If we don't teach you a lesson, you won't know who's in charge in this city!'

As he thought this, the peak power of the Golden Sun Void Dao erupted, and a crimson sun slowly emerged behind him.

Carrying terrifying solar flames, it blasted straight towards Zhan Shuyu.

Seeing the powerful and heavy blow, Di Chuan below felt the sword in his arms tremble, and his eyes reflected a long sword that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth.

Just as he was about to draw his longsword, a series of soft words reached his ears.

"It would be a shame to unleash the sword intent I've nurtured for so long. I'll nurture it well."

Upon hearing these familiar words, Di Chuan's longsword stopped trembling, and the image of the sword in his eyes gradually faded away.

Zhan Shuyu felt the terrifying pressure pressing down on him. If this move were to be executed, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Just as he was thinking of a way to break the deadlock, the space in front of him rippled, and a figure in red suddenly appeared there.

Shi Qingyun slowly extended one hand, on which the yin and yang energies circulated continuously.

bang——

With a muffled thud, the terrifying solar flames were suppressed by the yin and yang energies the moment they came into contact with Shi Qingyun.

Before Jin Yang could figure out what was going on, he saw a hand with distinct knuckles firmly catch his fist.

Shi Qingyun remained expressionless, and with a slight exertion of force, he threw Jin Yang's body away.

thump—

His movements slashed through the void, keeping his body firmly suspended in mid-air, the space behind him slammed into an astonishing arc.

Upon seeing the white-haired man in red, he immediately recognized him, and a smile instantly appeared on his lips.

"That must be Shi Qingyun, right?"

"I couldn't find you today, I thought you were scared and had to hide!"

"What? You want to take the beating for that good-for-nothing?"

Jin Yang twisted his wrist, his eyes full of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Shuyu, who was meditating below, had a fighting spirit flash in his eyes, but it was firmly suppressed by Di Chuan.

Shi Qingyun remained silent, his eyes fixed on a certain spot, a hint of killing intent flashing in them.

The phantom of the Kunpeng appeared behind him, and with a tap of his toes on the ground, his figure vanished from the spot.

He appeared instantly behind Jin Yang, with red light appearing in his eyes.

He stretched out a palm and pressed it down on Jin Yang, a mysterious aura flowing across his five fingers.

"Didn't you learn your first lesson in survival?"

"Let me help you remember!"

Jin Yang's expression suddenly froze as he looked at the palm that was pressing down on him, as if a vast universe was collapsing towards him.

A terrifying aura locked onto his presence.

ka ka ka-

The void beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch, and the low groans of death echoed in his ears, making it impossible for him to hear what Shi Qingyun was saying.

Shi Qingyun looked at the golden sun in front of him, a red glint flashing in his eyes.

Just as Shi Qingyun was about to strike Jin Yang with a palm, a domineering man suddenly appeared in the void.

A long sword shot out from behind Shi Qingyun.

"To kill a colleague like this is a capital offense!" "According to the law, the sentence is death! Execute immediately!"

His voice echoed calmly in the void, and in just a few words, he had already sentenced Shi Qingyun to death. His domineering manner immediately made many people frown.

However, despite the terrifying aura emanating from the newcomer, the restless crowd still retained some rationality.

The longsword sliced ​​through the void, its blade flashing with black light, and shot straight toward Shi Qingyun's head.

The overwhelming power emanating from him shot towards him without reservation, causing the void to tremble continuously.

Shi Qingyun looked at the long sword shooting towards him with a mocking expression in his eyes, and the glass dharma image behind him slowly raised its head.

The enormous hands clasped together instantly, and the space between them crumbled inch by inch.

The surging air currents spread outwards in all directions.

Duh——

With a deafening roar, the two palms, gleaming with a glassy luster, collided with the longsword.

chi chi-

Sparks flew as the two collided, and the longsword was firmly held between their palms.

The sharp sword energy emanating from the blade constantly clashed and annihilated with the palm intent that reached the sky.

Shi Qingyun glanced indifferently at the sword tip, which was only a few steps away from him, and then focused his gaze on the person who had just arrived.

A divine halo slowly rotated behind him, its power counteracting the force that threatened to kill him.

Jin Hua's face darkened as he watched his attack being blocked, and the killing intent in his golden eyes intensified.

"You hurt someone from behind and then talk to me about the law? I'd like to know whose rules you're following!"

"This guy can't even withstand one of my moves, so why are you all so nervous?"

Hearing the disdain in Shi Qingyun's tone, Jin Hua's face turned ashen, and he hesitated to retort.

Without the slightest hesitation, he was about to attack Shi Qingyun once again.

laugh--

However, just as Jin Hua was about to make a move, a petal drifted out from the depths of the academy's residence, turning into a golden light that swept across Jin Hua's arm.

The delicate petals, stained with specks of bright red blood, flew heavily towards a certain place.

Jin Hua's pupils contracted, and he turned his head in disbelief to his empty right hand, a piercing pain immediately rushing into his mind.

"Grandma Jin, keep a close eye on your own people."

"Don't cross the line!"

The resounding Daoist chant that echoed through the heavens caused Jin Hua's forehead to immediately bead with cold sweat.

bang——

A huge explosion erupted in the direction the petals flew, followed by a terrifying aura that slowly revived.

This overwhelming power caused the sky to darken, and many academy disciples felt a sense of impending doom.

Just as the disciples were filled with apprehension, a terrifying aura slowly rose behind them.

bang——

When the two forces collide, they unleash a destructive force capable of annihilating the world.

The entire Imperial Pass trembled involuntarily, and strange and twisted runes appeared in the void.

Just as the battle was about to break out, terrifying auras suddenly rose from other places, suppressing the two bursting auras.

"Fellow Daoists, this is nothing more than a game between juniors."

"We elders shouldn't interfere!"

"Let's all calm down! The other side has been a bit restless lately, let's discuss how to deal with it."

As the sounds rang out, the tense atmosphere immediately eased, and the dim sky gradually dissipated.

Jin Hua wiped the cold sweat from his face and slowly walked towards Shi Qingyun, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but he dared not make any other moves.

Below, Di Chuan and the other academy disciples all looked at Jin Hua with unfriendly expressions, their divine power surging.

Jin Hua walked up to Shi Qingyun, grabbed Jin Yang who was lying beside him like a dead dog, and said in a cold voice:

"This matter is not over!"

After leaving behind a harsh remark, the two figures disappeared from the spot.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

As soon as Shi Qingyun came down, Zhan Shuyu and the others immediately went forward to inquire.

"It's alright, just dealing with some clowns."

"Go back and rest early, you'll be on a mission tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Shi Qingyun returned to his cave dwelling and drank alone in the small pavilion in the courtyard, with a wine cup placed opposite him.

"You little rascal, no wonder the third brother specifically mentioned you."

"This guy's ability to cause trouble is really impressive."

A divine light flashed, and the Second Elder appeared, sitting opposite Shi Qingyun, drinking a cup of wine in one gulp.

"I must thank the elder for his help."

Shi Qingyun chuckled and raised her wine glass in a distant toast to him.

"Hey, you're a member of the academy, you can't just let people bully you right at your doorstep."

"However, the relationships within the Imperial Pass are complex, so you should still be careful. I can't intervene too often."

"Otherwise, it would disrupt the balance that is being maintained on the surface."

I hope you understand.

Fusheng slowly put down his wine glass, his weathered eyes gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

"Balance?"

Looking at the empty seat, Shi Qingyun recalled the Second Elder's advice before he left.

"When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it. There will always be a battle."

"It seems they're going to tamper with tomorrow's mission."

After a month of adaptation, many of the newly arrived cultivators also began to feel the intricate relationships within the Imperial Pass.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Shi Qingyun.

He directly confronted the Jin family. With such courage and strength that was enough to rival even the one who had killed me, Shi Qingyun unknowingly won the hearts of many.

In the Jin family's residence, the matriarch of the Changsheng clan sat on a grand hall, leaning on a cane.

A subtle undercurrent was swirling within his deep eyes.

"Destroy it."

"Destroy anyone who is detrimental to the family."

"The Kim family will rise again in my hands!"

The hoarse voice echoed in the empty hall, its murderous intent seemingly capable of freezing everything.
