Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 724 New Intelligence

Xu Xuan then came to his senses, coughed lightly to compose himself, but a thousand thoughts were churning in his mind.

I thought that the unity of heaven and man and the projection of ghosts and gods were the limits of Professor Shi's abilities... I never expected that he had such a trump card hidden in his hands!
What lies dormant in Chongqi Academy is not a tiger, but an old dragon!
He now finally understood why, despite possessing immense human virtue and fortune, the Jin Emperor could not withstand the power of the "Qingjiao"—

Because at that time, sitting in the imperial court where the music was being listened to was a great man who truly stood at the pinnacle of humanity!

Xu Xuan found it increasingly absurd, and the scene from back then involuntarily surfaced in his mind—

In the Golden Hall of the capital, Professor Shi played "Qingjiao" for the first time, and ghosts and gods descended.

Then the Yellow Emperor casually glanced up and swept his eyes over:
"Ha, these ugly, deformed creatures, these worthless bastards, dare to listen to music with me?"

"roll!"

As a result, the entire court of beasts fled in terror, and even the emperor was so frightened that he fell off his dragon throne!
"Professor Shi..." Xu Xuan suddenly stood up and solemnly bowed, "I was blind and ignorant of your greatness before, and I was negligent."

Professor Shi looked bewildered: "Huh?"

Xu Xuan, however, was already making plans in his mind.

Had I known this would happen, I would have definitely become friends with you despite our age difference, and even sworn brothers!
Shi Ziye, Shen Yifu, Xu Hanwen... The combination of these three brothers sounds incredibly powerful!
In short, I'm determined to have this Qingjiao melody.

For no other reason than to invite more big shots to listen to my music.

Although Professor Shi didn't understand, he could sense that his rendition of "Qingjiao" had caused another big problem.

So he said that his mind was exhausted, and hurriedly took his guqin and left—saying that he would go into seclusion for three days to properly digest this insight.

Xu Xuan didn't stop him, but just looked at the old professor's slightly hurried back and smiled slightly.

"At this age, it's the perfect time to shine and contribute."

Turning around, he looked at the three heroes who were still immersed in shock—Zao, Ning Caichen, and Ji Rui.

Although the three were not completely overwhelmed by "Qingjiao", they still benefited greatly. At this moment, the light in their eyes was restrained, indicating that their cultivation had improved.

"Stop daydreaming." Xu Xuan clapped his hands to bring the three of them back to attention. "You will go down the mountain tomorrow and teach at Dugu Garden for Xiahou Jianke."

Ji Rui was taken aback: "Teach? Okay."

This wasn't the first time they'd taken on this task, so they were quite familiar with it. However, they couldn't help but wonder—why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Their skills are among the best of the younger generation; they can compose literary works on classic texts and slay demons with swords. Logically, they should be following Master Xu on his expeditions to vanquish evil and accomplish some earth-shattering feats.

Besides, didn't Master Xu already agree to that?

Ning Caichen readily agreed, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect: "Rest assured, sir."

Zao, however, keenly sensed something: "Does Master Xu want us... to stay at the foot of the mountain permanently?"

Xu Xuan gave him an approving look: "Not bad. Things haven't been peaceful in Qiantang lately, so you can keep an eye on things for me while you're at it."

With these three in charge, ordinary demons and evil spirits simply cannot cause any trouble.

Because evil spirits will target these three guys immediately!
Ji Rui nonchalantly declared, "Since you trust me so much, then any demons or monsters that dare to come will be cleaved in two with a single blow!"

I still have three poem titles I haven't used yet.

Ning Caichen seemed to be deep in thought: "Sir, are you on guard against the demons of Shu?"

He recalled the harrowing experience from last year—when Sanqi was taking Liang Zhu on a pleasure boat tour, they unexpectedly encountered the Blood Demon, and the two sides fought fiercely until the sky darkened.

If it weren't for Master Guangliang of Lingyin Temple intervening in time, risking the loss of his cultivation to repel the powerful enemy, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

There are only a handful of villains who can stir up trouble in Qiantang.

Your guess was pretty accurate.

Those who opposed Xu Xuan and are still alive are few and far between. Among them, the most feared is the Long-Browed Master!
During the Dragon Boat Festival, this old monster secretly made a move, using the Golden Alligator and Jellyfish swords from the Seven Swords of Cultivation to test the strength of Qiantang.

Although Lord Yu was stationed in the city and Lady White Snake was in seclusion at West Lake, Changmei's profound knowledge of celestial secrets made it impossible to defend against her.

Therefore, Xu Xuan had no choice but to resort to a surprise tactic—releasing Ji Rui!

This guy's luck has been affected by a curse for years, but he has never been killed. Now, his luck is undergoing a transformation and is in a chaotic state, which is specifically designed to counter those cunning and scheming old foxes.

If Changmei dares to spy on Qiantang, he will first run into Ji Rui, this "tough nut to crack".

Of course, this cannot be said outright.

Xu Xuan then waved his hand and said, "The three heroes will guard the area together and look after each other."

In reality, they wanted to use Ji Rui's "chaotic" fortune to disrupt the secrets of heaven!

"Remember, if you encounter a problem you can't solve—"

"Release the Cloud Piercing Arrow immediately!" the three shouted in unison.

"Very good." Xu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "Go."

After watching the three descend the mountain, he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the direction of the Qiantang River.

Time to move on to the next small problem.

The East China Sea is a vast expanse of blue waves, boundless and open.

A figure strode across the sea and sky, his clothes fluttering as his toes lightly touched the waves as if walking on flat ground. After a few leaps, he landed on a deserted island.

It was Xu Xuan.

He raised his hand and waved it, causing a crack to appear in the void, from which the aura of the Evil Earth Demon Realm emanated.

"Wow!"

He forcibly pulled the head of a blue dragon from the calamity soil. The dragon's eyes were wide open, and lingering karmic fire still clung to its scales.

"Will you tell me or not?" Xu Xuan asked calmly, but a wisp of pure white lotus fire had already appeared at his fingertips.

The Azure Dragon kept its mouth tightly shut, its eyes filled with arrogance.

"Not going to tell?" Xu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll just have to—"

Before he could finish speaking, the Azure Dragon suddenly began to convulse violently, letting out a shrill scream as if it were enduring some unimaginable pain.

Xu Xuan was taken aback: "I haven't even made a move yet?"

He looked up abruptly and saw that the once clear sky had suddenly become covered with dark clouds, with lightning rolling in the clouds, and a destructive aura locking onto the island!
—Divine punishment!
"Tsk, Yunmengze has a secret." Xu Xuan reacted quickly, shoving the Azure Dragon's head back into the E'tu.

The dark clouds seemed to freeze, as if they had lost their target, before slowly dissipating.

In the land of Calamity, countless remnant souls of demons wailed as the karmic ghosts of Guo Bei brandished chains of karmic fire, subjecting the new "residents" to torture.

Suddenly all the ghosts froze in their tracks—

Xu Xuan strode in carrying the head of the Azure Dragon, and wherever he went, the ghosts trembled and hurriedly retreated.

"Has this dragon... broken the heavenly rules?!" a karmic ghost muttered softly.

The gates of the White Lotus Palace slammed shut, followed by heart-wrenching screams from within, interspersed with eerie flashes of white light. At times, the sounds were like celestial music, at others like hellish wails, sending chills down the spines of the karmic demons outside.

"Hurry up! Get to work!" The lead karmic demon lashed out with his whip at the demon soul, his voice trembling. "Don't slack off! If the masters see us working hard, maybe we'll suffer less..."

After a long while, the palace doors opened.

Xu Xuan walked out alone, his expression unchanged, but a trace of dragon blood was stained on his sleeve.

The demons immediately lowered their heads, pretending to torture the demon soul with great effort, and the chains cracked loudly.

Xu Xuan didn't even glance at them; his figure flashed and he disappeared into the Calamity Land.

The streak of light pierced the sky and flew straight towards West Lake.

The secrets unearthed from the Azure Dragon's soul must be told to Bai Suzhen as soon as possible.

Yun Zhongjun is actually a snake?!
