Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 91
Chongqi Academy is a masterpiece of architectural aesthetics, nestled in the Nanshan Mountains.

It appears simple on the outside, but is extravagantly luxurious on the inside.

The Jintian Academy was completely different. When it was first established, West Lake was not as prosperous, and it mainly enrolled children from commoner families and poor families.

Only after his reputation grew did some scions of prominent families come to join him.

Over the centuries, the academy has been built to be quite magnificent, but in terms of its foundation and cultural heritage, it is naturally no match for Chongqi.

Of course, this is just one of the many conflicts between the two companies.

Xu Xuan hesitated as he stood at the entrance of the academy, while the gatekeeper kept a close eye on him.

The literary gathering was a grand event for all scholars in the Jiangnan region; the chance to soar to great heights was no joke.

Faced with the temptations of fame and fortune, some people's methods and bottom lines are not very high. Who wouldn't want to eliminate a powerful competitor?

The most famous example in history is the tragic story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan, who were fellow disciples.

It has contributed many classic idioms and short stories.

In the end, Xu Xuan decided to be more direct and spoke politely.

"Please inform them that Instructor Chongqi, Xu Xuan, has something important to discuss with fellow student Zhu Erdan."

The gatekeeper glanced at him several times, especially at the long sword at his waist, then silently nodded and went inside.

His extraordinary hearing came into play, and as he listened, Xu Xuan became numb.

"Find Zhu Erdan as an instructor at Chongqi Academy."

"People from Chongqi Academy came to invite Zhu Erdan to transfer to their school."

"Chongqi's people want to spend money to poach Zhu Erdan?"

“The instructors at Chongqi Academy said that Jintian Academy was no good and couldn’t keep Zhu Erdan.”

Before I even saw the real person, several professors appeared out of nowhere.

What Chongqi's people were looking for at this time of year was definitely not something good.

Xu Xuan felt that he had been at odds with scholars lately, and that very few of them listened to him.

Fortunately, at that moment, the charismatic and arrogant man walked out with the confident stride of a protagonist.

His aura was normal, but his malice was already quite obvious.

With a single glance, he was about to say something unpleasant to make Instructor Chongqi look bad.

Verbal banter was too boring, so Xu Xuan asked for a quiet room to chat privately.

The other person tried to act arrogantly as soon as we entered the room, but we weren't going to let that happen.

Clang!
Without a second thought, he swung the greatsword down, veins bulging on his hand – it was a strike he was giving his all.

Zhu Erdan, murder is against the law, you young man.

A hand, arriving before the sword, blocked the neck, a thin layer of black mist at the fingertips steadily catching the blade.

"Although the Seven Stars Big Dipper Sword is not a magic sword or divine weapon and is not sharp enough, its heroic sacrifice for righteousness is extremely effective in restraining the soul. It should not be drawn unless absolutely necessary."

His tone immediately became detached and aloof, indicating that a big shot had appeared.

Someone very naturally sheathed their sword.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I was just checking if the senior was still there."

"What if I weren't in this body?"

"Amitabha Buddha, then lay down your butcher's knife."

Judge Lu's feelings were quite complicated.

The young monk of the Pure Land School has become possessed by demons.

Next, the person explained their purpose, stating that they were indeed acting on someone's behalf.

"The White Lady of West Lake has important matters to discuss with you and is waiting for you on Wu Mountain."

"Let her go then."

The people from Jintian Academy did not expect that the two people inside would come out amicably after only two sentences. Zhu Erdan's arrogance had dissipated considerably, and he even looked like he was about to leave.

They wanted to stop him but didn't dare, since that guy's usual wicked arrogance was directed at everyone, and he looked down on everyone in the world, including the professors at the academy, just because he had some knowledge.

If this student's knowledge and abilities weren't so extraordinary, the first people to kill him would have been their own people.

They could only watch helplessly as the two left.

Some people with dark hearts even hope that something unexpected will happen.

On Mount Wu, Judge Lu noticed that Lady Bai seemed unusually different today.

To describe it specifically, it has become much more demonic, with an added hint of malevolence.

But Xu, who had kept a low profile throughout the journey, changed completely upon arriving here. I felt like I could finally stretch my back. Beside me was a peerless demon, and at the academy, I had my own senior brother who was practically at arm's length.

You dare to bully me with two royal flushes? I need to get my revenge for what happened that night.

It's a pity I didn't have the chance to serve the other person a cup of herbal tea, and I was also missing a small desk lamp.

"What exactly do you want with me?"

"Senior Judge Lu, may I ask what exactly you plan to do on the day of the Jiangnan Literary Gathering?"

“The young monk does not understand the rules of cultivation. How can such a top secret be told to outsiders?”

The words were harsh, but Xu Xuan was here today to offend people.

"Senior, please don't misunderstand. I am a formal instructor at Chongqi Academy, in charge of matters related to this Jiangnan Literary Gathering. From those who are improperly dressed and indecent to those who are flying around with great supernatural powers, I have the right to know the situation."

Wow, that official arrogance!
Even when I was in charge of the Investigation Department in the Underworld, I didn't dare say these words to the gods.

Judge Lu stood still as if he hadn't heard those words at all; that was his attitude.

"During the literary gathering, I also invited Master Ruoxu of the Pure Land School and the White Lady of West Lake to give lectures. It would be bad if this interfered with the senior's plans."

Xu Xuan sneered, "Not going to talk?"
If you're not going to say it, then don't say it!
The crow's table-flipping is always so domineering; do you, Zhu Erdan, have even a fraction of my arrogance?
Judge Lu's gaze hardened.

Well, well, this is the only one who can threaten people so confidently. They're truly shameless.

“Little monk, I still admire your integrity when you were in Chongqi. Acting like this in the Pure Land school can easily lead you astray.”

A fan-shaped array of expressions appeared in someone's eyes, mostly mocking or sarcastic.

"Our Pure Land School has its own set of rules for conduct."

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

Back then, when my senior brother wasn't around, I only relied on my integrity. Now that both my senior brother and Lady White Snake are here, if I still only rely on integrity, wouldn't I have gone mad from cultivating?

Judge Lu was so angry that his nose twisted.

Standing behind Xu Xuan, Lady Bai almost laughed.

This Xu Hanwen is completely different from those other Xu Hanwens; it's a completely new style.

Then his face darkened again; a love tribulation.
When Judge Lu saw the white snake's expression, he thought it was a threat, so he had no choice but to speak up.

The fact that they had fled from the underworld to the mortal realm did not surprise them.

It's normal for trouble to happen in the underworld since the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling are gone.

"I share the same soul as Zhu Erdan, and if this continues for too long, it may damage his soul."

He plans to use the golden statue enshrined in the Ten Kings Temple as a foundation to practice the method of incarnation.

This method goes against the principles of life and death; to avoid heavenly tribulation, one must absorb the spiritual energy and fortune of the literary tradition for one's own use.

Ah~~
Xu Xuan then understood the role of luck.

The magical powers of immortals are immeasurable; they possess extraordinary methods to bring the dead back to life. A single grain of cinnabar is a life-saving treasure; a few lotus leaves are a soul-sustaining elixir.

Transcendence requires no filthy bones; sainthood demands the return of the soul's fragrance. From this day forward, we expand our territory to the Holy Lord, and assist in the great cause of Qi and Zhou.

The last celebrity to use this method was the legendary Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.

However, they used a more advanced method, which involved using the golden elixir of Taiyi Zhenren and lotus flowers made from immortal lotus roots.

As for the calamity of being brought back from the dead, it does not require absorbing any other fortune.

The cause of Qi and Zhou was aided by Kuang Xiang, and King Wu's conquest of Zhou was the greatest mandate of heaven.

In the face of divine calamity, the ordeal of dying and being resurrected is as fragile as paper under the protection of destiny.

So Lu Pan was a low-spec version.

That makes sense.

"Was it you who sent people to take away that golden statue?"

“Indeed, I have already put away the King Yama’s golden body, and my own incense-burning golden body has been placed in the venue.”

That sounds more reasonable.

Then a great storm arose on Mount Wu, with lightning and thunder.

A massive amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth was drawn here. Black gales blew out from the unknown, carrying a deathly howl that obliterated sand and rocks, bringing everything back to desolation.

The torrential rain was replaced by heavy water that could shatter rocks and crack the earth, and the pervasive toxicity could turn this area into a forbidden zone.

This place, controlled by wind and rain, seems to have returned to the middle Triassic period.

This is the Heavenly Gang Great Divine Power, capable of summoning wind and rain!
