Chapter 2594 Master, Is There More?

Lin Xun's appearance surprised both You Qianheng and Yong Feidu, as his face was too unfamiliar to remind them of anyone. Out of instinctive vigilance, they didn't attack him right off the bat.

As surprised and happy as Nie Qingrong was, she quickly remembered something that made her expression change drastically, “Dao Brother, run. This place is covered in law power!”

"Run? I'm afraid that's not possible!" said You Qianheng coldly. “I didn't expect that you’d come back with a helper in tow, Nie Qingrong, but unfortunately for you, I see nothing but a fool who doesn't know his own limits, or else he wouldn’t have barged in here right at this time, no?”

“Indeed. No different from running head first into his own demise!” Yong Feidu concluded with a smile, fearless after having recovered from the initial shock.

Where were they? The most important place of Liangyi Academy that was fully enveloped in law power. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even an immortal figure would be miserably suppressed if they barged in here!

Yet, Lin Xun seemed to be utterly unaware as he refused to retreat or stop walking on. He took a glance at the cyan law power that filled the hall before turning to Nie Qingrong and Leng Qingxue.

He smiled warmly at them, “Don't worry, since I've decided to help, I won’t let some law power obstruct me.”

His calm reassurance smoothed out the anxiety in their hearts.

“Some law power?” You Qianheng almost thought his ears had gone wrong. He blurted out a laugh, “Nie Qingrong, where did you find such a weirdo?”

“Principal, let’s get rid of this person quickly.” Yong Feidu was in an irritable mood, having been interrupted when he was so close to getting his hands on the two women.

“You’re right,” said You Qianheng, and a jade seal circled by a stream of cyan light emerged on his palm.

Kaboom!

Countless cyan chains of law power burst out the next second and shot toward Lin Xun. Instead of evading them, he stood still and transmitted in his mind, “Wushuang, the food is all yours this time.”

“Thank you, Master,” replied a clear and sweet voice as amidst a rain of light, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron quietly transformed into a pattern and appeared in Lin Xun's hand.

In the Nirvana law power resting deep within the sword cauldron, a white-clothed girl who looked to be around fifteen years old woke up from silence. Graceful with a bit of childlike features, charmingly frail, and glowing with an innocent aura, she was like a young miss raised in a noble family.

She was Wushuang, the heavenly law spirit of the Genesis Realm in the last epoch!

The exchange between her and Lin Xun and what followed was naturally invisible to outsiders. Almost immediately, he made a grabbing gesture with his hand.

Boom!

The churning cyan law power filling the air suddenly converged into a mass and then got confined to that spot. The bizarre scene stunned everyone.

No way?!

Immediately afterward, the sword cauldron pattern in Lin Xun's hand started rotating. Like a black hole, it released a horrifying devouring energy and pulled the cyan law power into it ray by ray. In a mere blink of an eye, the third grade Earth Rank law permeating Liangyi Hall had been swallowed to the last trickle.

“What the...” Nie Qingrong and Leng Qingxue were stupefied while their hearts were reeling inside. That was a law power! It had dominated them to the point they couldn’t even put up a fight, yet, it had been completely devoured with a grab of Lin Xun’s hand!

“How is that possible?!” shrieked You Qianheng in disbelief, his face livid. This was the first time in his life seeing something so inconceivable that it directly disoriented his mind.

The grand hall fell dead silent. Everyone’s expression was a wonderful sight to behold.

“Master, is there more?” Wushuang in the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron timidly asked as though her hunger still hadn’t been satisfied.

Lin Xun's lips twitched. He replied, “If you keep up with the good work, I will help you collect more law power in the future.”

Speaking of which, it wasn’t long ago when Lin Xun had noticed signs of awakening from Wushuang. Moreover, she seemed to have been completely trained by the Nirvana law power, showing absolute submission when his spirit sense scanned her.

This change was definitely recent.

Unfortunately, although Wushuang had awakened now, she was extremely weak. Furthermore, as a law spirit with no true intelligence, her whole behavior and speech were interpreted with the help of her own law power.

According to the feedback from Lin Xun’s spirit sense, even if she fully recovered one day, he still wouldn't be able to borrow her power in a fight before he set foot on the immortal path.

Fortunately though, when it came to confronting another law, both Wushuang and the Nirvana law power were able to display unexpected abilities, such as in the current situation.

“Principal, he must carry a forbidden item that’s capable of restraining law power!” shouted Yong Feidu whose wits had returned after the fright.

“Too much nonsense,” Lin Xun redirected his attention to the outside world, looked at Yong Feidu, and struck out with his palm.

Boom!

A huge, primitive, and solid palm qi coalesced in the air and slapped at Yong Feidu. As an Emperor Ancestor, the latter naturally wouldn’t sit and wait for death. He immediately mobilized his strength and countered with a secret skill.

However, it was a pity that he had zero idea how terrifying this young man in front of him was.

Bang!

With a heavy, dull sound of clashing, he was sent flying. His flesh was ruptured and spraying blood all over. When he smashed onto the ground, he was close to dying from serious injuries, unable to climb up.

“He’s yours to do with as you please.” Lin Xun cast Nie Qingrong a glance before he turned to You Qianheng, “Are you going to surrender or do I make you?”

“Who on earth are you?” You Qianheng was shocked and furious. The cyan jade seal in his hand, which was the secret treasure used to control the law power in the hall, was now in pieces. This meant he had lost his most reliable weapon.

“I'm the one asking questions,” Lin Xun smiled and suddenly grabbed at the air.

Whoosh!

You Qianheng instantly teleported in an attempt to escape, but he was clutched mid flight and froze in the air like a fly, unable to move an inch.

He was horrified, “Are you not afraid of retaliation from the Zhu Clan?”

Lin Xun's eyes gleamed with pity, “I’ll be honest with you on this one, I’m here precisely because I know that you're a lapdog of the Zhu Clan.”

“You...” You Qianheng panicked, but before he could get his words out, his vision went black. He had been knocked unconscious. He plopped on the floor.

Seeing this, Leng Qingxue finally understood why Nie Qingrong had repeatedly warned her not to test Lin Xun. He...was indeed an unimaginably powerful character!

“Do you still need my help?” asked Lin Xun.

Having escaped death and quickly composed herself, Nie Qingrong hurriedly said, “I won’t trouble you from this point on, Dao Brother. You can leave the rest to Qingxue and I.”

Lin Xun nodded and left the scene. Only after his figure disappeared from sight did Leng Qingxue say, "Senior Sister, who exactly is that dao brother of yours? He...isn’t a supreme Emperor Ancestor, is he?"

Although Leng Qingxue was simple-minded and inexperienced, she wasn't stupid. She knew at a glance that it was simply impossible for a normal Emperor Ancestor to possess the battle prowess that Lin Xun had.

“His identity is indeed not simple, Qingxue, but that’s all you should know. Don’t ask any more questions about this,” Nie Qingrong sighed with emotion, then smiled. “Maybe I’ll tell you all about it one day when the time is right.”

“Mhm,” said Leng Qingxue.

Bang!

With a heavy sound, Yong Feidu's head shattered under Nie Qingrong's palm strike. As if her hatred hadn’t been fully vented, wisps of golden flame drifted out from her fingertips and burned away at the corpse until it went up in smoke.

“Damned bastard wanted to subdue me, who the hell did he think he was?” said Nie Qingrong as her eyes overflowed with resentment and disdain. She then walked toward You Qianheng.

“Senior Sister, if what You Qianheng said is true, then the current Zhu Clan is completely different now. I’m afraid the He Clan won’t offend them by standing up for you if you kill him,” Leng Qingxue couldn't help but remind her.

“My silly junior sister, there is no turning back at this point. As for the Zhu Clan... Someone else will be dealing with them,” Nie Qingrong said and waved her hand.

Kabang!

Endless flames swallowed up the unconscious You Qianheng. In the blink of an eye, he was reduced to scattering ashes on the floor.

Leng Qingxue watched in a daze, “What if the He Clan abandons you because of this? You know full well that while we appear to enjoy a splendorous life, people like us are nothing more than pawns that can be discarded at any time to those Immortal Imperial Clans."

There was a complicated look in Nie Qingrong's eyes as she said, “Just rest easy, Junior Sister. That dao brother has made every preparation and thought of a solution to this.”

Lin Xun had told her to put the blame on him. Even if the Zhu Clan sent experts to handle this matter, he would be the one to deal with them.

In this way, the He Clan wouldn't have any objection. Instead, once Nie Qingrong took charge of Liangyi Academy, the more contributions she made, the easier it would be for her to gain their attention.

However, she felt indebted to Lin Xun thinking he lost out in this and didn’t know how to repay him. She had even thought of giving herself to him and honoring him as her master, but the other party probably wouldn’t accept it.

After all, how could a legendary figure like him possibly lust after mere beauty alone?

......

On that same day, Nie Qingrong announced to the public that Principal You Qianheng and Vice Principal Yong Feidu had lost their lives to the hands of enemies, so moving forward, she would take over the position of principal!

Liangyi Academy was instantly in an uproar. Its countless disciples were alarmed, while the heads of the thirty-six peaks couldn't sit still and flocked to Liangyi Hall to inquire the details.

Among them, there was no lack of influential names who were loyal to You Qianheng. Upon verifying the news, these characters realized that there was no room for salvation!

Even the most loyal followers of You Qianheng had no reason to oppose Nie Qingrong. She had the support of the He Clan, while her close friend Leng Qingxue had the support of the Hong Clan. Now that You Qianheng was deceased, the Zhu Clan’s camp in the academy had no confidence to go against them even if they wanted to!

A period of turmoil was inevitable. After all, it wasn’t long ago when Vice Principal Nian Yunjing had been suppressed. Now, both Principal You Qianheng and Vice Principal Yong Feidu had simultaneously fallen.

Losing three pillar figures at once was certainly the heaviest blow ever to the entire Liangyi Academy. It even deeply impacted the academy’s status in the First Heaven Domain!
