Chapter 1752: Chapter 1752: How Should He Be Dealt With?
Originally, Xiao Hong and the others felt secretly relieved seeing that Yang Xiaotian hadn’t come out for so long, thinking he must have perished in the Sea of Black Ants.
But, unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotian still emerged in the end.
Tang Chang and Xie Qiu approached Yang Xiaotian, appearing quite excited.
"Xiaotian, you made it out! That’s great, just great!" Tang Chang exclaimed with excitement.
Xie Qiu also laughed with excitement: "You have no idea, Old Tang was so worried he was almost losing his mind!"
Tang Chang chuckled.
Yang Xiaotian also expressed his gratitude with clasped fists: "Thank you both, Academy Deans."
Tang Chang smiled and said, "Now that you’re back, let’s return to Hongmeng Academy!"
For this trial mission, he couldn’t feel settled without bringing Yang Xiaotian back.
Now that Yang Xiaotian is back, he can finally feel at ease.
And in the dark, Old Lu also let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Yang Xiaotian emerge.
He was more worried than Tang Chang and Xie Qiu, as Yang Xiaotian had been gone for so long.
Then, without any more delay, everyone boarded the Hongmeng Academy ship and hurried back to the academy.
After the Hongmeng Academy ship departed, the members of the Nine Fiends Hall hidden in the distant mountains revealed themselves.
"Didn’t expect Yang Xiaotian still isn’t dead!" An elder of the Nine Fiends Hall said in a deep voice: "Should we act now, capture him, and bring him back to the Nine Fiends Hall?"
The Deputy Hall Master of Nine Fiends hesitated for a moment but still took out a message talisman to report to the Master of the Nine Fiends Hall.
After a while, the Deputy Hall Master looked at the reply, pondering: "The Hall Master says, no rush for now, wait until Yang Xiaotian acts alone later to make a move."
At this moment, Yang Xiaotian was in the secret chamber of the ship, practicing the Chaos Devouring Heaven Technique, as the Holy Demon Qi rolled into his body from the void.
Behind him, three thousand Innate Ancestor Demons were gathered, and next to them were a hundred Innate Great Demons.
A hundred Innate Great Demons surrounded the Innate Ancestor Demons, emitting an overwhelming Demonic Qi.
However, this overwhelming Demonic Qi always felt incomplete when it was being circulated.
Yang Xiaotian knew it was because he had yet to comprehend the ten thousand Innate Great Demons.
If he comprehended the ten thousand Innate Great Demons, his Innate Demonic Qi would achieve perfection!
Then, he could understand the mysteries of the Innate Demon Gods.
Achieve the body of an Innate Demon God!
After practicing the Innate Demonic Qi for a while, Yang Xiaotian took out the four Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Techniques he found in the Black Ant Imperial Palace and studied them carefully.
He started with the first book.
The first one was a Sword Path Holy Technique Manual named "Black Wave Sword Surge."
This Sword Path Holy Technique Manual was created by the ancestor of the Black Ant Clan.
However, to cultivate this Sword Path Holy Technique Manual, one must have Dark Power.
Yang Xiaotian, possessing the King of Chaos’s Dark Godhood, naturally found cultivating this manual quite effortless.
He read through it once, then practiced it several times, reaching the Minor Accomplishment Realm in Black Wave Sword Surge.
Next, Yang Xiaotian cultivated the second book.
Then, the third and fourth.
In no time, he successfully cultivated all four Sword Path Holy Technique Manuals, all reaching the Minor Accomplishment Realm.
He put away the manuals.
After breaking through to the Minor Accomplishment Realm, he no longer needed to consult the manuals frequently, but rather practice and understand them repeatedly.
After Yang Xiaotian cultivated several Sword Path Holy Techniques to the Minor Accomplishment Realm, Tang Chang and Xie Qiu came to Yang Xiaotian’s room to discuss the Sea of Black Ants mission.
Upon learning Yang Xiaotian had killed enough of three thousand black ants, the two were finally at ease.
This time, although many disciples emerged, some did not manage to kill enough of three thousand black ants.
"Dean, who set this mission from the Main Hall Mission Hall?" Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but ask again.
While being pursued by the Emperor of the Black Ants and others in the Sea of Black Ants, he often thought about this.
If not for the spatial teleportation formation inside the eerie palace, he might not have made it out.
Tang Chang and Xie Qiu glanced at each other upon hearing Yang Xiaotian’s inquiry.
"It was Deputy Hall Master Chen Yingsheng from the Main Hall Mission Hall," Tang Chang finally admitted.
Regarding Chen Yingsheng, he too felt very dissatisfied and indignant.
"Chen Yingsheng," Yang Xiaotian repeated.
He was puzzled about why Chen Yingsheng would target him.
"This Chen Yingsheng, he’s the right-hand man of Grand Hall Master Li," Xie Qiu couldn’t help but remind Yang Xiaotian.
"Grand Hall Master Li? Li Yao?" Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.
The Primordial Universe Taoist has two disciples in the Holy Realm, and Li Yao is the second disciple, also the Grand Hall Master of Hongmeng Academy’s Main Campus, overseeing all the halls.
Li Yao?
Yang Xiaotian thought silently.
This trial mission designated by Chen Yingsheng—is it related to Li Yao?
Hopefully not.
Otherwise!
A cold glint flashed in Yang Xiaotian’s eyes.
At this time, the message talisman on Tang Chang’s body began to flash, he took it out and upon seeing, frowned: "It’s a message from Heavenly Fire Academy, stating that Chen Yingsheng has arrived at the Heavenly Fire Academy, urging us to return there immediately!"
"Chen Yingsheng!" Upon hearing, Xie Qiu scoffed: "He’s surely here for the trial mission."
Chen Yingsheng’s visit is not only for the trial mission but likely with bad intentions.
Knowing that Chen Yingsheng is already waiting at Heavenly Fire Academy, Tang Chang felt a hint of worry, but Yang Xiaotian remained calm, continuing to practice his swordsmanship.
Originally, he planned to visit the Ghost Dragon Tomb on the way back, but now it seems he’ll have to return to Heavenly Fire Academy first.
Upon knowing Chen Yingsheng was waiting at Heavenly Fire Academy, the ship sped up.
Despite this, upon returning to Heavenly Fire Academy, Yang Xiaotian managed to cultivate the four Sword Path Holy Techniques of Black Wave Sword Surge to the Summit Mastery.
After arriving at Heavenly Fire Academy, Tang Chang, Xie Qiu quickly led Yang Xiaotian and others to a hurry towards the main hall.
As soon as they stepped into the main hall, they saw someone standing with hands behind his back, facing away from them, projecting an image of an unrivaled master.
Seeing this person, Tang Chang, Xie Qiu hurried forward, clasping fists: "Greetings, Deputy Hall Master Chen."
Chen Yingsheng turned to face them, his face slightly thin, wearing a mustache, giving a very lean impression, he looked at Tang Chang and Xie Qiu, nodding with a smile: "This trial mission has been hard work for both of you."
Then he asked: "Has the count of black ants killed by the disciples been tallied?"
"Not yet," Tang Chang said, "We planned to tally and count after returning."
"Since that’s the case, let’s begin the tallying," Chen Yingsheng smiled, but his tone was indisputable: "During the last arena competition, who was first? Start with the first place first!"
Everyone’s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained calm, saying: "I was first in the arena competition." Then he took out all the black ant corpses from the Tribulation Dragon Ring that he had killed.
Although destroyed by Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Qi, he controlled his strength, keeping these black ant corpses intact.
Everyone glanced over and counted a total of three thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine.
But Chen Yingsheng looked over indifferently: "You are called Yang Xiaotian, right?" Then he pointed to a corpse of a Great Saint Third Layer black ant: "Do you think you can kill a Great Saint Fourth Layer black ant? Dare you say this Great Saint Fourth Layer black ant is killed by you?"
Without giving Yang Xiaotian a chance to explain, he turned to Tang Chang: "According to Hongmeng Academy rules, what’s the procedure for dealing with disciples who cheat in trial missions?"
