When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 266 With great effort, Yun Shu falls into demonic possession; on the vast sea, Bai Ze breaks through.

It's like a cycle; Mu Yaoguang was crippled back then, and now Yun Shu is about to be crippled as well.

This was Mu Yaoguang's revenge.

She wasn't actually too concerned about not obtaining the Golden Core back then, but now that she wanted to take revenge on Yun Jingming and his wife, and on Dean Yun for betraying her as his disciple, the best way was to take away what Yun Shu had obtained back then.

Yun Shu regained his life because of the Golden Elixir and laid the most solid foundation, which has allowed him to get to where he is now.

Now, the goal is to strip Yun Shu of everything she gained from the Golden Elixir.

No, at least Yun Shu is still alive, unlike back then when she was only a step away from death.

Upon hearing Mu Yaoguang's words, Yun Shu felt a chill spread down her spine and penetrate her spinal cord, a bone-chilling cold.

Dean Yun's lips moved as he said in a deep voice, "Yun Shu is already a six-star at the age of twenty-two. In the future, he may even be able to touch the Heavenly Gate and add a top expert to Yujing Martial Arts University and the Federation."

"Bai Ze and I will only become stronger and go further than him in the future," Mu Yaoguang said calmly.

If you don't dismiss Yun Shu, what will Mu Yaoguang think?
Moreover, Mu Yaoguang also mentored Bai Ze, a promising genius.

"and--"

Mu Yaoguang said quietly, "He's just crippled, not dead."

There it is again.

Lin Suying's words from back then have once again become a boomerang, striking the Yun family.

When Yun Yan was deposed, Mu Yaoguang said these words, and now she is saying them to Yun Shu.

At that moment, Dean Yun seemed to collapse suddenly, his straight back becoming slightly hunched.

As a teacher, he has completely failed.

"You planned this all along..."

Dean Yun looked at this student who had once made him proud, but now felt utterly unfamiliar with him. "You had already planned this step when you were in Canghai City."

Mu Yaoguang did not answer that question, but said in a calm tone, "It was all your own choice, Teacher."

If Dean Yun hadn't attacked Mu Yaoguang in Canghai City, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

He wouldn't stay at the Martial Arts Association to assist in the investigation. Perhaps he could persuade Yun Shu when news of the appearance of the Yingzhou Secret Realm came out. At the very least, he wouldn't be so aggressive and would make Bai Ze back down.

If he hadn't attacked Mu Yaoguang, then even if Mu Yaoguang eventually produced evidence to clear her name, it wouldn't implicate Dean Yun.

Looking at the present, not only is Yun Shu about to be dismissed, but Dean Yun will also have to resign voluntarily.

The son and daughter-in-law attacked the martial arts association, the grandson deserted, and the son himself also made a mistake...

Although Vice Principal Zhang Huayang did not say it explicitly, everyone present could guess what Dean Yun would do next.

Letting him resign voluntarily is the best way to give this old man his final dignity.

Zhang Huayang's projection then spoke in a slow but powerful tone: "I agree with Mu Yaoguang's proposal."

"On behalf of the Executive Department of the Martial Arts Association, I support Inspector Mu Yaoguang's proposal."

Xue Hengchuan, the head of the General Association's Executive Department, also seconded the motion and solemnly said, "Among those people rescued by Inspector Mu Yaoguang when she covered the retreat, there were also members of the Executive Department. As the head of the Executive Department, I want all members of the Martial Arts Association to know that she did not save the wrong people."

Both Yujing Martial Arts University and the Martial Arts Association expressed their agreement, while the rest remained silent.

Since none of their respective factions were among those attacked this time, Yun Shu only abandoned the people from Yujing Martial Arts University and the Martial Arts Association, so the other factions could not express their opinions.

However, judging from the expressions of the representatives from all sides, it was clear that many of them agreed.

As for those who do not agree, they will not stand up to oppose it at this time.

This includes Mingxin Wuda, the representative who had previously contacted Yun Shu, and Daxing Temple, which had previously cooperated with the Yun family.

To say that they were betrayed and abandoned by everyone might be an exaggeration, but at least not a single ally dared to openly support the Yun family anymore.

Yun Shu is at his wit's end.

"I understand."

Dean Yun sighed deeply, as if resigned to his fate, and said, "Then I will personally... cripple Yun Shu's martial arts. At least, I will try to minimize his suffering."

“Okay,” Zhang Huayang nodded.

Mu Yaoguang's eyes flickered, and she took a step to the side to stand next to Bai Ze. She did not agree, but it could be considered as tacit consent.

So, Dean Yun walked heavily to Yun Shu.

Facing Yun Shu's increasingly desperate gaze, he raised his palm and then slowly pressed it down onto Yun Shu's chest.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Yun Shu's eyes were filled with despair, but then suddenly burst forth with the joy of escaping from a desperate situation.

He was sent flying and crashed into the wall of the conference room.

The steel cabin walls crumbled like sand, shattered by an invisible, gentle force, sending Yun Shu flying out of the cabin and shooting into the distance.

"not good!"

"Old Yun, what are you doing?!"

The unexpected scene caught everyone off guard.

Zhang Huayang's projection loudly questioned, while Xue Hengchuan attempted to stop him.

Mu Yaoguang's figure flickered, almost disappearing into nothingness in an instant.

however--

"Cloud Spirit Realm".

Dean Yun reached into his sleeve, pulled out a long scroll, and unfurled it. Clouds surged forth, rising together with a radiant light to form an illusory palace.

"Qingwei Heavenly Palace".

Mu Yaoguang's figure solidified again, and his Great Freedom Dharma Body was forcibly frozen.

At the same time, Mu Yaoguang reached out and pushed Bai Ze, creating faint ripples that sent Bai Ze into the ripples before the illusory palace could take shape.

Then, a powerful aura suddenly rose up, but was forcefully suppressed by the palace.

"This is a scroll I obtained from the Yuan Realm. It should have been made by a powerful figure at the Heavenly Gate or even the Divine Enemy level. With it, I can hold you all off for at least fifteen minutes."

Dean Yun held the scroll in his hands, his body radiating a clear, bright light. "Please, for my sake, wait for fifteen minutes."

"Old Yun, you've gone completely mad! You'll pay the price for this!" Zhang Huayang shouted.

"Now that things have come to this, I can only make the best of a bad situation and consider it me, an old man, being a scoundrel."

Dean Yun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That child Yun Shu can't possibly accept becoming a cripple. If he's crippled, he'll definitely accept the Great Freedom Demon Blood, and then he'll surely die. By doing this, I can at least save his life."

Dean Yun was well aware of his grandson's situation.

Yun Yan could not accept becoming a cripple, and Yun Shu was even less likely to.

If he were crippled, Yun Shu would definitely secretly accept the blood of the Great Freedom Demon in an attempt to recover.

However, Mu Yaoguang would not allow him to succeed.

Rather, Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze were just waiting for Yun Shu to fall into demonic possession.

Rather than being killed in the end, it would be better to let Yun Shu become a fugitive, leave Yujing, and leave Dongxia.

Whether they go to India to become outlaws, or seek refuge with the Western Union or other countries, it doesn't matter.

Even spending one's entire life in another world would be better than dying a miserable death. As for Dean Yun himself, he was going to resign voluntarily anyway. Even if he let Yun Shu go, he would still have to resign. At most, his freedom might be restricted in the future.

Furthermore, if Yun Shu does anything detrimental to Dongxia in the future, Dean Yun will bear joint responsibility.

But at least...

"As expected, the teacher made that choice."

Mu Yaoguang's voice rang out, interrupting Dean Yun's thoughts.

She showed no sign of panic; her face remained calm as always, while her eyes shone with a strange luster like starlight.

She had been watching Dean Yun the whole time, trying to discern his aura and inner energy.

"Unfortunately, teacher, you made the wrong choice again."

Having anticipated Dean Yun's actions by sensing his true energy first, Mu Yaoguang prepared a countermeasure: "Since you, teacher, are unwilling to take action, then let Bai Ze do it. Let him—cripple Yun Shu!"

······
······
Yun Shu flew out of the destroyer and landed straight on the sea surface more than a thousand meters above sea level.

He used his lightness skill, his body surrounded by swirling clouds, and with a flick of his wrist, he stepped onto the sea, gliding across the water to a nearby speedboat. With a wave of his hand, he swept away everyone on board.

The speedboat turned and sped towards the hidden paradise of Yingzhou.

He couldn't escape to land on his own, so he had to rely on external forces.

Alternatively, one could use their own strength to cooperate with Ursus or the Western Alliance, or make another breakthrough in the Yingzhou Secret Realm and take advantage of its instability to reach the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The former would implicate one's family, while the latter carries certain risks.

However, if it really comes down to a last resort...

Just as Yun Shu was about to make a decision, a strong gust of wind came straight up from behind.

A colossal phantom flew through the air, carrying Bai Ze, who was inside it, in pursuit.

With more than two hundred meters to go, Bai Ze raised his palm, and the illusory image of his Dharma form followed suit, striking out with his palm.

"Ascending to a high place, one's spirit soars to the heavens."

The immense primordial energy was absorbed into the body by the illusory image of the Dharma body, transforming into a palm print the size of a small mountain, which crashed down from the sky.

The sea surged and rippled, a palm print descended from the sky, and an immense force crushed everything in its path.

"White Pond!"

Yun Shu couldn't help but roar, turning around and raising both palms to the sky. His aura stirred up the wind and clouds, and the image of a dragon and a tiger appeared at the same time, colliding with the palm print.

boom!
A deafening roar, like thunder, erupted over the sea, sending jets of water flying and propelling the speedboat into the air.

Yun Shu quickly channeled his pure energy into both palms, reversing the wind and clouds, and used the opposing forces to propel the speedboat, causing its speed to increase dramatically.

However, his injuries relapsed as a result, and he coughed up blood.

Yun Shu had been seriously injured before, and even with the meticulous treatment from the medical school, it was impossible for her to fully recover in just a few hours.

Even without using his full strength from the secret realm, Bai Ze is now able to suppress Yun Shu.

As expected, the burst of energy was dispersed, and the more than ten-meter-tall illusory image of the Dharma Image passed straight through the bursting water column, arriving on the waves as if it were a real person.

Bai Ze did not condense the Dharma image into a physical form; it was merely a phantom, and its essential weight remained unchanged.

The entire illusory image of the Dharma form is a force field construct, generated by the invisible force field of the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand". Bai Ze is inside it, and there is no difference between him flying using the force field as usual.

Even if the speedboat is fast, it can't shake off Bai Ze unless Yun Shu abandons ship.

However, Yun Shu was injured, and forcibly increasing her speed would only worsen her injuries.

Moreover, while his speed limit is the speed of sound, this limit cannot be sustained. A short burst of speed and long-distance endurance are two different things.

As the Dharma image drew near, the overwhelming Yin and Yang energies pressed down like dark clouds looming over the city. Reflected in Yun Shu's eyes, it was as if the shadow of death was approaching.

At this moment, Yun Shu's mind was in turmoil, and his eyes widened in anger.

'Great freedom!'

He cried out in his heart, actively calling for the arrival of Great Freedom.

Almost the instant he made this decision, Great Freedom arrived.

He laughed heartily and, with great interest, gave away his own blood.

"The show is about to begin."

Unlike his previous light laughs, this time the Great Freedom Demon Lord's interest could be discerned through his loud laughter.

Crimson blood, seemingly real yet illusory, dripped from the void, landing on Yun Shu's brow with a seemingly slow yet swift motion. A strange power swept through his entire body in an instant, cleansing his muscles and bones.

Yun Shu's eyes suddenly turned blood red, his figure flickered, and he transformed into a blood shadow, like a rainbow rising into the sky, piercing through the Dharma form.

The illusory image of the Dharma form collapsed almost instantly upon contact. The blood shadow, like a sword, pierced through the Dharma form's hand and rushed towards the Dharma form's chest and abdomen with lightning speed, colliding with Bai Ze.

In an instant, light and shadow flashed, and a loud roar was heard as two figures retreated into the air.

Bai Ze flew backward for about ten meters, did a somersault, and landed in mid-air.

The illusory image of the Dharma form condensed again and reached out to support Bai Ze.

Blood Shadow landed on the speedboat, revealing Yun Shu's figure. Her body was filled with blood energy, and her pale face turned rosy at a visible speed.

"it turns out--"

Bai Ze looked at Yun Shu from afar and said in an amazed tone, "He took the initiative to receive the blood of the Great Freedom Demon."

Before he could push Yun Shu to the extreme or even cripple him, Yun Shu took the initiative to receive the Great Freedom Demon Blood.

Despite the fear that everyone feared Yun Shu's descent into demonic possession, Yun Shu did not hesitate for a moment at the crucial moment.

"Rather than waiting to fall into a disadvantageous position and howl like a defeated dog, I'd rather accept it proactively."

Yun Shu's eyes were bloodshot as she stared coldly at Bai Ze. "Now, do you dare to continue chasing me? Do you dare to unleash your full power and fight me?"

Bai Ze had said that he couldn't beat Yun Shu.

Now that Yun Shu has recovered from her injuries and even possesses the Demon Blood Divine Power, her strength is far superior to what it was before.

Even if Bai Ze revealed all his strength, Yun Shu was confident that he might not lose.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Bai Ze can only watch Yun Shu enter the Yingzhou Secret Realm.

"Haha~"

Bai Ze let out a cryptic laugh, “Senior Yun Shu, have you forgotten? I said before that I have been in seclusion these past few days, cultivating the ‘Chapter on the Four Elements’.”

He emitted a white light, which then turned into black and white, with the yin and yang energies circulating, making his body radiant.

Then, the black and white colors transformed into five colors: white, blue, black, red, and yellow, representing the five elements derived from yin and yang.

"almost."

The five internal organs correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Five-colored rays of light burst forth from the internal organs, cleansing the limbs and bones, and finally bursting out from the acupoints throughout the body.

Bai Ze was lifted into the air by five-colored rays of light, radiating a dazzling brilliance in the night sky.

"Of course I dare to continue hunting you down, as long as I break through to the next level."

Let's bring this good show to a close.
