Chapter 353: Originally, I was going to answer all questions, but it’s a pity

In the forest, two dark shadows were running towards the student who was calling out.

Wang Zhixue, who was standing in the valley, raised his hand and waved it. The green characters in the air gathered into a stream and rushed towards the two black shadows.

"The journey of great virtue begins with a single step!" Wang Zhixue shouted loudly, causing the green characters to emit golden light.

Confucianism and Taoism have magical powers, and their words are followed by laws.

Wang Zhixue said that he is not as good as Li Wenyan, but in fact he is probably being too modest.

His cultivation is probably much stronger than Li Wenyan's.

"boom--"

Two black figures were knocked away by the green torrent and rolled into the ravine. It was obvious that they were seriously injured.

The young man in his twenties, wearing a green robe, with messy clothes and a pale face, walked over nervously and bowed to Wang Zhixue.

"Guo Chang from Yonglin County, meeting the instructor."

Guo Chang looked at Wang Zhixue with a look of sorrow on his face. "Teacher, all the students in the examination hall of my Yunchen Academy were massacred. The two instructors, also—"

He couldn't continue speaking.

Wang Zhixue sighed softly and raised his hand to collect the green light and shadows in the sky.

"Sir, the instructor fought desperately to resist the big monster. Before he died, he told me to go to Yunhe County." Guo Chang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Judging from his appearance, he was on the verge of collapse.

If he hadn't been holding on with a breath of strength, he would have definitely fallen to the ground.

"Help him to rest."

A golden light flickered faintly in Wang Zhixue's palm. He looked towards the direction of the forest, his body tensed.

Yang Baitao quickly stepped forward, supported Guo Chang, and walked towards the bonfire.

Zhang Yuan's gaze fell on Guo Chang, then he turned to look at the forest.

There were several demonic auras moving faintly in the forest, and after a moment, they disappeared.

It was not until the demonic aura disappeared that Wang Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief, his back already soaked with sweat.

"Guard the camp." Wang Zhixue said in a low voice, turning to look at Zhang Yuan, "If the enemy comes, you will send out this call for help."

He handed Zhang Yuan a half-foot-long bamboo tube.

Zhang Yuan nodded and held the bamboo tube tightly.

Wang Zhixue walked quickly into the mountains and forests, climbed over several hills, and saw Li Wenyan and several people in Confucian robes standing in front of the valley.

In the valley, bodies were lying all over the place, all of them were students wearing blue Confucian robes.

One of the two instructors was lying on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He was already dead.

There was also a blurry area between the chest and abdomen, which was caused by the monster's hollowing out of the heart and lungs.

"It's Instructors Chang Yuntao and Jia Sheng," Li Wenyan said solemnly, looking around. "Even the two of them combined were no match for the monsters that came to attack us."

These words made the other people look solemn.

Whether it is Chang Yuntao or Jiasheng, both have profound Confucian and Taoist cultivation, and can exert powerful strength with just a move of their hands and feet.

These two powerful men were actually killed in this way.

Wang Zhixue took a few steps forward and helped Chang Yuntao, who was lying on the ground, up.

When everyone looked, they saw a wound on his back that went deep into his chest and abdomen.

"A knife in the back means there's an enemy lurking."

His words made everyone's expressions change.

This is bad news, because there are people lurking among the students, and no one knows when trouble will break out.

This is also good news. The enemy is not as strong as imagined, and we need to attack from behind.

"All the students of Yunchen Academy have died. That..." A fifty-year-old man holding an ink pen in his hand spoke in a deep voice.

That elite who answered over fifty questions was also robbed and killed?

Their mission has already failed halfway?
Wang Zhixue stood up and lowered his voice: "There is a student named Guo Chang from the Yunchen Academy who was taking the assessment. I rescued him and he is now in the camp."

His words made everyone's expression change, and Li Wenyan clenched the ruler tightly.

"Is he a lurker, or—"

Wang Zhixue shook his head.

He couldn't explain it clearly.

Everyone looked at each other and hurried to the Changning Academy campsite.

————————————————————

In the campsite, Yang Baitao took out his portion of meat and soup and handed them to Guo Chang.

"Eat slowly, eat your fill, take a nap, and everything will be over. Just forget about some things..."

Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at Yang Baitao.

Yang Baitao had experienced something like this in the past, so he probably felt the same way now.

Guo Chang nodded slightly and stuffed the meat into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

After taking a few bites, he suddenly vomited the meat with a "wow" sound, and then burst into tears.

When he cried, there was a little more spirit in his eyes.

Yang Baitao reached out and patted Guo Chang's shoulder. Other Confucian scholars not far away looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Whether they were studying in the past or taking exams and joining societies today, it is all for the purpose of becoming true practitioners.

But before they could truly become practitioners of Confucianism and Taoism, they were taught the cruelest lesson.

"Oh right," Guo Chang suddenly looked nervous, lowering his voice so that only Zhang Yuan and Yang Baitao could hear, "Instructor Chang was seriously injured by a hidden traitor, which led to the team's defense being breached—"

Insider?

The demon who answered over fifty questions and lurked in school?
"That man's name is Huang Ji, he's in his early thirties, efficient in his speech and actions, and he helped with the teaching and chores along the way. I didn't expect him to—"

Before Guo Chang finished speaking, several figures came running towards him from the forest.

It was the mighty power of Confucianism and Taoism flowing outside his body, illuminating the surrounding mountains and fields with a golden glow.

This is to cleanse the space with a mighty force, and all the evil spirits have nowhere to hide.

It was Wang Zhixue and the others who returned.

Returning with them were several instructors from the academy who came to reinforce them, as well as two team leaders and instructors from other teams who had hurried over after seeing Lianhua calling for help.

The vast light enveloped the camp, and everyone was bathed in this faint golden light.

Wang Zhixue's gaze fell on Guo Chang, and seeing that there was no change in his expression or demeanor, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least this shows that Guo Chang is not a demon in disguise.

The return of the instructors and team leaders made the camp feel safer, and the voices of the students sitting together became slightly louder.

"Guo Chang, come here."

Wang Zhixue raised his hand to signal.

Guo Chang quickly stood up, walked to the instructors and bowed.

"Student Guo has often seen you, the teachers."

Several people nodded.

Guo Chang quickly reported what he had seen and encountered, and told the name and appearance of the person who had plotted to harm Chang Jiaoshi.

This made the faces of several teachers even more solemn.

"Om-"

Li Wenyan raised his hand and threw out several paper cranes, which turned into white cranes and scattered around.

The others followed suit.

"We've already sent a message to the other teams, alerting them. If they encounter Huang Ji, they will capture and kill him."

After Wang Zhixue finished speaking, he looked at Guo Chang.

The others also slowly turned their gazes to Guo Chang.

"How many questions did you answer in this test?"

This made Guo Chang hesitate. After a moment's hesitation, he whispered, "Teacher Chang originally ordered me not to tell anyone about my answers before I arrived at the Yunhe County Academy."

"But now that things have come to this, the future is uncertain, and there's no need for me to hide it."

Taking a deep breath, Guo Chang said in a deep voice: "Fifty questions."

really.

Wang Zhixue, Li Wenyan and others looked at each other.

Chang Yuntao and his team risked their lives to save Guo Chang because he was one of the only two students who answered more than 50 questions in this exam and was a future elite of Confucianism and Taoism.

"Okay, you can't mention this to anyone else."

Wang Zhixue nodded and waved his hand to signal Guo Chang to go back and rest.

Guo Chang bent down and walked towards the fire. After taking a few steps, he heard Yang Baitao and others talking.

"Brother Zhang, how many questions did you answer on the test paper?"

"Exactly fifty questions," Zhang Yuan's voice came with regret. "Originally, I was going to finish all one hundred questions. What a pity."
