If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

The opportunity is now.

Just now, Shen Bai was thinking about how to resolve Qin Shuang's crisis, but now it seems that the crisis can be resolved in an instant.

There was no way before, but now there is. All that is needed is to disperse this scholar's aura to a certain extent, which will naturally help Qin Shuang achieve victory.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai did not hesitate any longer, and the blood-red sword energy was released like rain.

Each sword aura was enough to kill a master who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

After Shen Bai unleashed his sword energy, Qin Shuang, manipulated by the scholar's aura, launched an attack on Shen Bai in return.

A terrifying aura of literati filled the sky, seemingly possessing the power to crush heaven and earth, colliding repeatedly with Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy.

Each collision causes a sword aura to vanish without a trace.

With all of Shen Bai's supernatural abilities combined, the Qi within his body and the Qi he consumed had long been balanced, allowing him to continuously unleash sword Qi until victory was achieved.

The two sides engaged in orderly offense and defense, each employing the simplest methods to attack the other.

As Shen Bai's attacks grew increasingly terrifying, the situation on Qin Shuang's side was gradually changing.

The terrifying scholarly aura seemed to be weakening, and Qin Shuang's expression gradually became more lively.

Complex emotions swirled in Qin Shuang's eyes.

Shen Bai knew that Qin Shuang's consciousness was returning, so he accelerated the thrust of the Cold Moon in his hand.

The sword energy bombarded the surrounding scholarly aura at an even faster frequency.

Just when Shen Bai thought the trip was a sure thing, something unexpected suddenly happened.

Suddenly, the sound of reading aloud rang out, and the scholars who were sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened their eyes, their eyes filled with the same indifference as Qin Shuang's.

A terrifying aura of literati rose from these people and then swirled and converged together.

A faint, ethereal figure appeared in the sky, resembling a scholar dressed in a white robe.

The scholar's phantom held a writing brush in his hand and touched Shen Bai's brow.

The anomaly occurred so quickly that even Shen Bai didn't have time to react.

However, the moment the brush touched down, Shen Bai felt a terrifying pressure coming down, as if a mountain was collapsing.

Shen Bai's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Come!"

A crimson sword aura shot out from the cold moon once more, forming a terrifying crimson tornado that pierced straight towards the scholar's illusory figure.

The scholar's illusory figure was fading, and Shen Bai's face was gradually turning pale.

The scholarly aura from before posed no harm to him, but the current scholarly aura carries a power capable of destroying him.

Fortunately, just when Shen Bai was about to give up, Qin Shuang suddenly made a move.

Qin Shuang's eyes regained their sparkle, and she suddenly raised her left hand, grasping at the illusory figure of the scholar in the sky.

A terrifying scholarly aura emanated from his palm.

This scholarly air wasn't the air of a forbidden scholarly place, but rather something that Qin Shuang herself possessed.

With the added aura of literati, the scholarly phantom that was about to overwhelm Shen Bai suddenly became weak.

At this moment, Qin Shuang turned to Shen Bai and said, "Shen Bai, hurry up and seize the opportunity!"

Shen Bai, having experienced countless bloody battles, naturally knew the importance of seizing the opportunity at this moment.

Without any hesitation, he raised his blood-red longsword and thrust it at the scholar's phantom once more.

The terrifying sword energy was combined with the scholar's aura.

With a combined attack from Shen Bai and Qin Shuang, the illusory figure of the scholar in the sky vanished with a deafening roar.

As the illusory figure of the scholar in the sky vanished with a roar, Qin Shuang fell from the sky and stood steadily in front of Shen Bai.

Seeing Qin Shuang's clear eyes, Shen Bai knew that she had regained her consciousness.

Just as he was about to speak, Qin Shuang spoke up.

"Success."

These three simple words were the answer to Shen Bai, and also brought this matter to a solid close.

Shen Bai turned to look around and found that the scholarly atmosphere had no longer become terrifying.

When the danger has passed, this place will become a sanctuary for scholars.

"Has this forbidden area for scholars been completely revived?" Shen Bai asked.

Although the meaning of Qin Shuang's three words "success" was already quite clear, Shen Bai still wanted to understand it more clearly.

Qin Shuang nodded and said, "Because of your help, the Forbidden Land of Scholars has been completely revived. Now, all we need to do is let scholars enter this place continuously, and the aura of the Forbidden Land of Scholars will strengthen their power."

"And now, scholars who have strengthened their power will become a great help in fighting against this world."

At this point, Qin Shuang waved to those around her, and her scholarly aura immediately followed her gesture.

Below, the dazed scholars all came to their senses, their faces beaming with ecstasy.

They also knew what had happened and understood that their efforts had not been in vain.

Seeing Qin Shuang's move, Shen Bai knew that Qin Shuang had completely taken control of the forbidden area for scholars.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is now the new clan leader of the forbidden area for scholars.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai said.

"Then let's go out first."

This place has been cracked, but there are still dangers at the border, so Shen Bai said this.

Qin Shuang nodded and casually gestured around.

Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared in the sky, and Shen Bai and Qin Shuang stepped out together.

Outside, the dean and the prime minister had been waiting for a long time.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Bai and Qin Shuang come out.

They knew in their hearts that this crisis had finally been averted.

"Teacher, Prime Minister, immediately send scholars into the Forbidden Land of Scholars. We can strengthen all the scholars through the Forbidden Land of Scholars and make their strength grow rapidly."

After Qin Shuang came out, she knew to get down to business, so she spoke frankly about her thoughts.

The dean and the prime minister exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison.

Since it has this effect, they naturally need to try it, after all, they also know that their next enemy will be heaven and earth.

Afterwards, knowing that there was important business to attend to, Shen Bai did not disturb them further. He let Qin Shuang communicate with the Prime Minister and the others, while he himself left the street.

……

Walking down the street, Shen Bai looked at the passersby and pondered what to do next.

Since the enemy forces had all retreated, Shen Bai was now free.

His original plan was to grind for proficiency, but now he keeps thinking about Zhou Qing and the leader of the chaotic organization.

He still carries a coordinate that keeps lingering around him, and the chaotic organization will probably find him soon.

With this in mind, Shen Bai turned his gaze to the border city and then made a decision.

He wanted to get away from the border for a while.

If members of an unorganized group manage to find the border and successfully enter it, it will inevitably lead to a bloodbath.

Therefore, staying at the border at this moment is not a good thing. Having made up his mind, Shen Bai did not intend to linger here and prepared to use his Divine Speed ​​to leave this place immediately.

But at this moment, something unusual suddenly occurred.

Shen Bai felt a sudden surge of intense pressure, then abruptly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

A terrifying vortex appeared in the sky.

The clouds also kept dissipating due to the vortex.

An eye peered through the sky, firmly locking onto his location.

After this feeling arose, Shen Bai immediately knew what had happened.

He was locked onto by that aura.

The people who had previously located him were now almost at the scene.

With this thought in mind, Shen Bai then tore open the space in front of him and took out the jade stone that Zhou Qing had given him.

Zhou Qing had previously said that as long as this jade stone was activated, one could reach the river where Zhou Qing was located.

Now that it's been locked, it's time to use this jade.

Just as Shen Bai took out the jade, the surrounding space began to distort.

Not only Qin Shuang sensed it, but the Chief Commander, the Dean, and the Prime Minister also rushed to the scene.

They all watched as Shen Bai communicated with the jade.

Before they could even speak, Shen Bai vanished from the spot.

That terrifying aura was enough to make everyone present tremble; it was a force that was absolutely impossible to resist.

The moment Shen Bai disappeared, the terrifying aura seemed to have vanished as well, as if it hadn't found him.

The surroundings fell silent, and Qin Shuang's gaze became extremely solemn.

Where did Shen Bai go?

She had just come out of the forbidden area for scholars and hadn't even had a chance to say a few words to Shen Bai before he disappeared again, which made her a little worried.

The commander-in-chief had already fully recovered from his injuries. After hearing Qin Shuang's words, he shook his head and said, "We can no longer interfere with any of his actions. We can only say that all his actions must be based on his own ideas."

"We don't need to worry about him, let's just focus on our own things."

Now, Shen Bai's identity is already known to everyone, and everyone knows that Shen Bai is the one who will save the world.

Therefore, whatever Shen Bai does, they feel it's beyond their control.

Although that's what she said, Qin Shuang was still a little worried. But since she couldn't help Shen Bai right now, she suppressed her worries and turned to the dean.

"Teacher, send the scholars to the forbidden area for scholars to cultivate as soon as possible. I think our decisive battle is coming soon. At that time, we should not add burden to Shen Bai, but become his help."

The dean and the prime minister nodded in unison, and then went to make arrangements for the scholars to enter the forbidden area for intellectuals.

Qin Shuang also started getting busy.

……

After Shen Bai used the jade, he felt a blur around him.

When everything became clear, he had already arrived at the river where he had left before.

Zhou Qing emerged from the riverbed, about to speak, when he immediately saw Shen Bai give him a wink.

They were both from Shengyun County and knew each other very well, so they naturally understood what Shen Bai meant by that look.

That means telling him not to make any noise for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy.

Thinking this, Zhou Qing immediately disappeared from the riverbank, as if he had never appeared.

At this moment, the Path of Life and Death trembled, and then a tall man dressed in a black robe crossed the Path of Life and Death.

Upon seeing this person, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "You are the leader of the Chaotic Organization?"

After looking around, the leader finally fixed his gaze on Shen Bai, his tone extremely gloomy: "You are really smart, you can think of using the path of life and death to avoid me, but you are wrong, because I have your coordinates, no matter where you run, I can follow you."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "There's nothing left to discuss?"

The leader sighed: "Even if you are exceptionally talented, if this world is to be destroyed, then it truly is to be destroyed, and no one can stand against it, so die in peace."

The two sides should have chatted more when they met, but the leader was extremely determined to kill Shen Bai, so he stopped talking.

He raised his hand and pointed at Shen Bai in mid-air. A terrifying aura of death, carrying immense pressure, surged rapidly toward Shen Bai.

Without saying a word, Shen Bai drew his Cold Moon sword.

Crimson sword energy covered the cold moon and touched the fingers of the leader of the forbidden land of death.

A terrifying force of death surged toward Shen Bai along with the cold moon.

Shen Bai's Cold Moon trembled, and then, using the recoil from the aura of death, he flew backward. After tracing an arc in the air, he landed in the river with a splash.

Upon seeing this, the leader's expression changed slightly. He quickly went to the riverbank to look, but he could no longer find Shen Bai.

He had Shen Bai's coordinates, which showed that he had come through a path of life and death, so he wasn't worried about Shen Bai escaping.

He could sense that Shen Bai was swimming towards the bottom of the river.

The leader knew better than anyone what was in the river, and at this moment he was caught in a dilemma.

Then, the conflicted look in the leader's eyes disappeared.

A ferocious look appeared on the leader's face.

"I don't care anymore, you're going to die today, and I'll kill you no matter what."

Without a word, the leader, enveloped in an aura of death, vanished into the river.

The river surged briefly, then quickly returned to calm.

At this moment, Shen Bai was getting closer and closer to the icy pool that held the secret.

The aura of death emanating from the leader behind him was rapidly drawing closer.

Shen Bai knew very well that he was no match for the leader when he fought him earlier.

The opponent's strength is definitely above the level of "Wen Ding" (a Chinese idiom meaning "reaching the pinnacle"), and it's not just a simple matter of being above the level of "Wen Ding".

Therefore, he had no intention of engaging the leader at this moment.

When Shen Bai arrived at the entrance of the cold pool, he went inside without saying a word.

The leader paused briefly at the entrance.

He sensed a deathly aura surging within the entrance.

To go or not to go, that is the question.

After a long while, Shen Bai's voice came from the back of the passage.

"What? You don't have the guts to chase after us?"

The leader pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You will surely die today."

After saying that, he rushed straight into the passage.

He knew what Shen Bai was thinking, but now he had no choice but to take the risk.

He has long relied on the power of Heaven and Earth; perhaps with the strength bestowed upon him by Heaven and Earth, he can also destroy his father. (End of Chapter)
