What?
Langya Academy's spiritual energy is so dense it condenses into mist, making it a sacred place for cultivation!
What?
Langya Academy possesses a mid-grade immortal spirit artifact!
What?
Langya Academy's guardian formation can easily kill a first-level Mortal Immortal realm expert!
Even the Seven Fiends Alliance in the Eastern Region has been thwarted and dares not move against Langya any further.
…
These messages shocked various factions, causing a huge sensation.
This is truly astonishing. Who would have thought that the obscure Langya Academy was hiding so deeply, possessing such profound foundations?
The Seven Fiends Alliance is powerful, boasting seven Mortal Immortal realm experts. In the Southern Region, fewer than a handful of forces can contend with them. To think that Langya Academy is so formidable, daring to challenge the Seven Fiends Alliance, is truly incredible!
For a time, the attitudes of various factions towards Langya Academy underwent a complete 180-degree reversal.
Upon receiving this information, Tang Qian, the patriarch of the Tang family, had a look of disbelief on his face.
This meant that Langya Academy was by no means the pushover he had imagined, someone who could be easily manipulated.
His insistence on moving against Langya was clearly like hitting a steel plate.
Fortunately, Langya Academy had no Mortal Immortal realm experts, and the mid-grade immortal artifact had not yet been claimed. Its threat was not significant. As long as one wasn't foolish enough to cause trouble on Langya Academy's territory, there was no need to fear Langya.
Subsequently, Tang Qian's eyes filled with rage.
The third-in-command of the Seven Fiends Alliance, despite knowing Langya Academy's power, did not inform them and deliberately instigated the Tang family to deal with Langya Academy. This was truly excessive.
It was rumored that the people of the Seven Fiends Alliance were all scoundrels, full of wicked schemes, and now he had witnessed it firsthand.
However, he still needed the third-in-command to maintain the guardian formation of Chizhang City. He could not afford to offend him and could only swallow his anger.
But Tang Qian was not one to suffer losses. He made up his mind to find an opportunity to make the third-in-command pay.
"A mid-grade immortal artifact that hasn't been claimed yet!"
Greed flickered across Tang Qian's face.
If he could obtain this mid-grade immortal sword, the Tang family would possess the power to dominate the Southern Region.
Since they had already fallen out with Langya Academy, and to prevent future retaliation from Langya, it was better to strike first.
Currently, Song Wei Qian and three genius students from Langya Academy were in Chizhang City. If they could be captured alive, they could force Song Zhen Wei to exchange them for the mid-grade immortal sword.
Tang Qian's thoughts raced, and the more he considered it, the more feasible this plan seemed. He decided to proceed.
Thus, he immediately summoned several core members of the Tang family to discuss how to proceed.
These past few days, the group from Langya Academy had witnessed the ugly side of human nature.
In the past, everyone looked down on Langya and wanted to step on them.
Now, they were like swarming bees, eager to throw themselves forward.
Various forces flocked to the Fulai Inn seeking an audience, wanting to forge connections. Even academies like Ji Jia and Hei Yao, who had been dealt with by Langya, shamelessly came to curry favor.
Indeed, there were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
However, Song Wei Qian refused to see anyone except those academies with whom she had a good relationship.
You looked down on me before; today, I'll make you unable to reach me!
"Ah, we're in the top ten!"
Song Wei Qian was extremely excited, tears welling up in her eyes.
For years, she had dedicated herself to revitalizing Langya, even sacrificing her personal life and becoming an old maid.
Now, she had finally seen success, and from now on, Langya Academy would shine again.
"Just the top ten. If you don't cry your eyes out when we win first place, you'll be letting us down."
Ji Mo gently patted Song Wei Qian's shoulder.
Lin Mengmeng, Xuan Yang, and Wang Wenjian's eyes sparkled at his words.
In truth, they were not entirely confident about winning first place. After all, they were all underachievers in the past. It was only after meeting Ji Mo that they had undergone a transformation and their strength had soared.
Hearing Ji Mo's words now, they were filled with heroic spirit.
"Since Master says we're going to win first place, then no matter what, we must take the title of first place."
The three were filled with fighting spirit. As students, they should not fail their Master's expectations.
These past few days, the proprietress had been trying to knock on Ji Mo's door.
She couldn't forget him, relishing the memory, and even wanted Ji Mo to give her a massage.
However, Ji Mo refused to open the door for her.
He truly experienced the saying "trouble follows a widow."
The old perverts around them were slandering him…
Impotent!
Hearing them gossiping behind his back, Ji Mo almost choked on his own anger.
Where was he impotent? He could pee three zhang against the wind, and he drew maps every night; his kidneys were excellent.
Outsiders were one thing, but his two foolish students, one constantly making him goji berry tea, and the other ordering lamb kidneys with every meal, what was that supposed to mean?
Even the cute and naive Lin Mengmeng blushingly handed him a small note, on which were various kidney-tonifying prescriptions she had bought at a high price.
Ji Mo was very angry and wanted to prove he wasn't impotent.
But while talent could be displayed, there was no way to prove whether his kidneys were weak or not. He felt so wronged.
Finally, the proprietress forcefully pushed open Ji Mo's door.
Because there was an urgent matter, she had to inform Ji Mo.
"Proprietress, please have some self-respect."
Seeing the proprietress force her way in and about to close the door, Ji Mo quickly stopped her, deliberately leaving the door wide open.
When one is near a melon field, one must avoid suspicion. He had to avoid gossip.
Ji Mo knew that the old perverts living nearby were staring at him all day.
"Young Master Ji, close the door first. I have something to tell you."
The proprietress was in great distress. Chizhang City would soon face a catastrophe, and Ji Mo had shown her great kindness. She could not stand by and do nothing.
This time, she came to remind Ji Mo to leave quickly.
Ji Mo said, "Proprietress, just say what you need to say. There's nothing shameful about it."
He absolutely could not close the door, otherwise, those scoundrels would surely start imagining things again.
The proprietress felt helpless. This news was precisely something that couldn't be spoken of openly. If outsiders knew, it would cause an uproar.
She could only walk up to Ji Mo and whisper into his ear, her breath like orchids, "Young Master Ji, Chizhang City has been a bit unsettled recently. It would be best for you to leave quickly."
She couldn't reveal the real reason and could only hint at it this way.
Ji Mo didn't understand. Although a large number of cultivators had flooded into Chizhang City recently, creating a mixed bag, for the smooth running of the competition, the Tang family had joined forces with various academies to dispatch many cultivators to maintain order, and the city's security was very safe.
"Proprietress, are you hinting that you want us to leave the Fulai Inn?"
Ji Mo frowned, thinking the proprietress wanted to drive them away.
The proprietress quickly shook her head and explained, "Chizhang City may experience major changes in the near future, and it is very dangerous."
"Don't worry. With so many cultivators in the city now, no one dares to cause trouble. And with the guardian formation, Chizhang City will be fine."
Ji Mo did not take the proprietress's words to heart. He advised her to relax and then forcefully pushed her out the door.
"As expected, this Ji fellow is too impotent. The proprietress even came to him willingly, offering herself, and he still kicked her out. So, men must protect their kidneys."
The old perverts who were secretly watching saw this scene and burst into scornful laughter again.
Boom!
At that moment, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and the entire Fulai Inn trembled violently.
