1283 The Mysterious Succubus Witch
The direction in which the Succubus Witch escaped was the deepest part of the forest.
In the depths of the forest, there were powerful level 9 demon beasts and some level 10 super demon beasts. It was deemed a high-risk area by the inner academy, and students who were not Grand Masters and above were strictly prohibited from entering the depths of the forest.
If a student violated the academy’s rules and trespassed into the depths of the forest, the academy wouldn’t bear any responsibility if anything happened there.
Even elite students like Zhan Wuya and the others didn’t dare to barge in alone. They would find some companions before they entered the center of the forest.
Sheng Xiao was indeed strong, but he wasn’t foolhardy enough to challenge a bunch of demon beasts all alone.
Sheng Xiao was silent for a moment. Then, he turned around and left the training area.
Over the past few days, Feng Yuncheng had been sent by Prime Emperor Taixu to the training area to cultivate charm techniques. Sheng Xiao and Ye Qingyang went to desolate places to cultivate with Prime Emperor Taixu.
As Prime Emperor Taixu rode a mount, he told Sheng Xiao and the others, “Time passes relatively slowly in a desolate place. Ten days here is equivalent to one day in the outside world, so you guys can cultivate longer here.” Prime Emperor Taixu glanced at Sheng Xiao and said, “Your Myriad Slash technique is a divine-grade cultivation technique with terrifying lethality. How many moves does it have?”
Sheng Xiao nodded as he said, “100.”
“How many moves have you successfully comprehended?”
Sheng Xiao said, “78 moves.”
“That’s right.” Prime Emperor Taixu nodded and said, “When you successfully comprehend all 100 moves of the Myriad Slash, you can completely unleash the true power of the Myriad Slash. From now on, stay in seclusion here until you completely master the 100 moves.”
After a pause, Prime Emperor Taixu continued, “At that time, if you can withstand my full-strength attack, I will teach you my fifth-grade Divine Rank cultivation technique. Then, you will have the right to go to the elite team, challenge the elite members, and become a member of the elite team.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, “Does that mean that the members of the elite team can withstand your full-strength attack?”
“How is that possible?” Prime Emperor Taixu shook his head and laughed as he told Sheng Xiao, “Other than Zhan Wuya, no one in the elite team can withstand my full-strength attack, but you are my student after all, so you can’t just be backup after entering the elite team, right?”
“At that time, the elite student you challenge will be Zhan Wuya. If you can exchange ten moves with him and at least draw a tie, you will be qualified to become an official member of the elite team and participate in the academy competition three years later with Zhan Wuya and the others.”
After saying that, Prime Emperor Taixu looked at Ye Qingyang and said to him earnestly, “Ye Qingyang, back then, all the professors in the inner academy and outer academy unanimously opposed letting you enter the inner academy to study. I was the one who went against everyone’s wishes and took the initiative to accept you. Do you know why?”
Prime Emperor Taixu’s question was also Ye Qingyang wondered about.
Ye Qingyang frowned and shook his head as he said, “I don’t know.”
Prime Emperor Taixu told him, “The reason phantoms exist is because they suffered huge injustice or inhumane torture when they were alive, so they have an obsession that they can’t let go. However, they trust you and see you as their salvation, so they are willing to be refined by you. I don’t think that a person who is trusted by the phantoms is a heinous person.”
After Prime Emperor Taixu rode the unicorn to Ye Qingyang’s side, he patted Ye Qingyang’s shoulder heavily and said earnestly, “Ye Qingyang, from the moment I decided to take you in as my student, I chose to stand on the opposite side of the righteous path. At this moment, everyone on the Cang Lang Continent is waiting to see me regret my decision.”
“I know that if a ghostly cultivator wants to take the righteous path, they will definitely be ridiculed and discriminated against by the righteous path’s cultivators. But, if you really walk this path steadily, no one can shake your position. There are thousands of reasons in this world to ruin you, but I hope that your ten years at Cang Lang Academy will be one of the reasons you refuse to give in.”
Ye Qingyang was stunned when he heard Prime Emperor Taixu’s words.
He muttered in a hoarse voice, “In this world, everyone hopes that I mess up so that they can punish me immediately in the name of justice. Prime Emperor Taixu, why are you stopping me?”
Prime Emperor Taixu looked at the pained and confused young man with a gentle gaze as he said, “Because I’m a teacher of Cang Lang Academy, and Cang Lang Academy’s mission is to work hard to let every child become successful. You’re a child of Cang Lang Academy, so it’s my mission to let you become successful.”
Ye Qingyang’s vision suddenly became blurry.
As he looked at Prime Emperor Taixu’s figure, he seemed to see the shadow of Professor Song from many years ago through Prime Emperor Taixu.
They were not the same person, but they gave off the same feeling—
Teacher.
At this moment, in Ye Qingyang’s eyes, Prime Emperor Taixu was no longer just Prime Emperor Taixu, a big shot with a noble status. He was just an outstanding professor who remained devoted to his original intentions and hoped that every student could become self-reliant.
Ye Qingyang pursed his lips and said, “What’s the use of just saying it? If ten years later, Cang Lang Academy really becomes the reason I refuse to turn to the dark side…” Ye Qingyang gazed at Prime Emperor Taixu deeply as he said,” At that time, I’ll acknowledge you as my mentor. Now, you’re just my intern teacher at most. ”
Upon hearing this, Prime Emperor Taixu was amused. Sheng Xiao’s eyes were filled with mirth as well.
However…
“Dean, there’s something I want to know.”
Prime Emperor Taixu looked at Sheng Xiao in amusement as he said, “If you’re asking me how to raise a child, you’re asking the wrong person. I’m not married yet.” Speaking of marriage, Prime Emperor Taixu suddenly thought of Prime Emperor Si Cheng.
He quickly threw the thought to the back of his mind and said to Sheng Xiao, “I’m not experienced in this area.”
Almost all the professors in the inner academy knew about Yu Huang’s pregnancy.
Now, these professors were all looking forward to witnessing the birth of the two Netherworld Phoenix babies with their own eyes. They even wanted to hold a birth ceremony for the two of them in the inner academy.
Sheng Xiao smiled and explained, “It’s not about that.”
“Then what do you want to ask?”
Sheng Xiao said, “It’s like this. In order to collect Spirit Grasses and spirit herbs, I made a deal with Lie Wenshan. She needs the hair of the Succubus Witch as a medicinal catalyst and promised me that if I can successfully get the Succubus Witch’s hair for her, she’s willing to give me two eighth-grade Spirit Grasses as compensation.”
Sheng Xiao didn’t tell Prime Emperor Taixu that he suspected that the Succubus Witch knew his grandfather. He only said, “Although the Succubus Witch is a level 9 demon beast, the value of two eighth-grade Spirit Grasses is much more precious than that of the hair of a level 9 demon beast. Lie Wenshan wouldn’t make a deal so obviously disadvantageous to her, so I suspect that there might be something special about the Succubus Witch and that it isn’t as easy to deal with as other level 9 demon beasts. Do you know anything about the Succubus Witch?”
“Succubus Witch…” Prime Emperor Taixu frowned when he heard the name of the Succubus Witch demon beast and told Sheng Xiao,” Very few demon beasts like the Succubus Witch can reach level nine because their combat strength is very weak. Most Succubus Witches will be killed by other demon beasts or Beast Tamers before they become that powerful. ”
“Because the combat strength of the Succubus Witch has always been weak, when my mentor created Cang Lang Academy, he didn’t release any Succubus demon beasts into the forest. However, the strange thing was that a hundred years ago, a student actually discovered a Succubus Witch in the high-risk area of the forest. At that time, that Succubus Witch was still at level 6. After discovering traces of this Succubus Witch, the Demon Beast Administration sent someone to register and chip it.”
“Although we prohibit students from hunting demon beasts maliciously, the demon beasts kill each other. We all thought that this Succubus Witch will be killed by other demon beasts. However, what’s shocking is that not only was it not killed, but it even broke through to level 9 five years ago and became a rare level 9 Succubus Witch.”
Hearing that, Sheng Xiao had new doubts. “Does that mean that this Succubus Witch is not a native demon beast of the inner academy?”
“No,” Prime Emperor Taixu said. “I don’t know where this demon beast came from. Perhaps a student accidentally brought it in.”
Sheng Xiao continued, “To be honest, I met that Succubus Witch this morning. It’s the ugliest demon beast world, but according to my understanding, Succubus Witches have human forms but without faces. Why was that Succubus Witch so ugly?”
