My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 115 Situ Jiao

Yanhuang Academy.

Above Dust and Clouds Mountain.

Li Chen withdrew his large hand, holding a withered old woman in his palm.

Upon seeing him, the other party's eyes flashed with resentment, and a peculiar gray mist enveloped him.

However, Li Chen merely snorted coldly, and the gray mist that seemed capable of polluting everything dissipated instantly.

"How is this possible? The stench of decay can't even get close?!"

The old woman finally became frightened, and for the first time truly witnessed the terror of the taboo.

Logically speaking, even emperors at their peak would be wary of such a corrupting aura. Once tainted, one would either lose ten thousand years of lifespan or die and perish.

So what did she see now?

It was as if the decaying aura was not of a high enough rank to contaminate that forbidden child.

"Truly—they're courting death!"

Li Chen clenched his large hand, and the old woman's body collapsed. Countless gray mists were purified by the power of lightning punishment, leaving only the purest life essence.

"No—my cultivation level—"

The old woman screamed in terror, looking at Li Chen: "Spare my life! I was wrong!"

Although the gray mist was a major cause of her decay, it was also her cultivation level, her Dao fruit, and her power.

A special power of time, containing the deadly poison of time; those who are tainted by it will have their lifespan corroded.

In the previous era of cultivation, even immortals would suffer greatly if they got involved.

As a result, this ant in front of her, who in her eyes was at most comparable to the Nascent Soul stage of the Immortal Cultivation Era, was able to ignore her Time Mist.

This is simply incomprehensible.

"Will I spare your life?"

Li Chen snorted coldly, intending to kill this old hag directly, but after sensing the residual gray mist on her body and the small world within her body, he suddenly paused.

A power similar to a spacetime fog?

In addition, although the little world inside the old woman's body was somewhat decayed, he was quite interested in its structure.

Thinking of this, he didn't rush to kill the old hag, but instead used the Eye of Time and Space to spy on her information.

[Situ Jiao, a human with demon blood within her, is 8,003,327 years old. A ruler of the ancients, she was a celestial being from the previous era. During the Dharma-ending Age, she stole the power of the demon god "Time Toad," thus gaining control of the Time Mist. Using this power to seal herself, she survived the Eternal Silence Age to this day. Currently, she possesses the strength of the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage, but is severely injured, with three thousand years of lifespan remaining. She is the culprit who killed Yao Ruoxi's father and attempted to possess Yao Ruoxi.]

"Situ Jiao?"

Li Chen sneered, "You old codger, you're not quite worthy of that name."

"You—how do you know my name?!" The old woman looked at Li Chen in horror.

She herself had almost forgotten this name.

Since she became an immortal in the previous era, no one has dared to call her by her real name.

Because she stole the power of the Time Toad, everyone called her the Old Toad.

The Eternal Age lasted for millions of years, and to this day, the number of people who still know her name can probably be counted on one hand.

Li Chen didn't say anything, but directly sealed the old woman and stuffed her into his own Origin Cave Heaven before landing in the garden villa.

"Teacher Li Chen————"

"Master!"

Xin Zhirou and Yao Ruoxi rushed over to greet them.

Both women had witnessed Li Chen's display of power earlier, and their gazes toward him became even more adoring.

"Get ready, I'm taking you to Moonspring Star for cultivation."

Li Chen glanced at the two women. Both of them were still at the Body Tempering Realm, but Xin Zhirou had already reached the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, and her strength had reached 70,000 jin.

The little girl's pure strength was only a little over 10,000 jin, but she was still in the early stage of body tempering.

It's not a matter of talent; it's because Li Chen had previously told her that she was too young and didn't need to rush into cultivation.

"Okay, sure."

Xin Zhirou said, "The enemy attacked the formation earlier—"

"I already know, the enemy has been captured."

Li Chen casually put away his computer in his room and then waited.

About two minutes later, he waved his hand, and a gap opened in the defensive formation of Chenxiao Mountain.

A streak of light flew into Chenxiao Mountain, revealing itself to be Qin Xiaotian.

"Teacher Li Chen, it's been a long time. Your aura has become even more profound."

Qin Xiaotian landed at the entrance of the garden villa, and subconsciously addressed Li Chen with a respectful title.

The principal was dressed in a gray-blue long gown and had a refined and scholarly air about him.

But Li Chen could tell at a glance that Qin Xiaotian had already entered the fifth realm of the Cave Heaven, with faint laws flowing around his body, clearly indicating that he had made further progress after his trip to the Spirit Realm.

Li Chen invited the other person into the villa and gestured for them to sit down: "Please have a seat."

Xin Zhirou brought over the tea, then obediently pulled Yao Ruoxi aside.

After Qin Xiaotian sat down, he looked at Li Chen with a complicated expression: "Teacher Li Chen's power in capturing the Old God earlier frightened quite a few people. Several Old God instructors in the academy who have just recovered have been trembling with fear these past few days, afraid that the teacher will take his anger out on them."

"An old god in the academy?" Li Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, some of the ancient gods have also joined the Yanhuang Academy."

Qin Xiaotian nodded: "The overwhelming trend is irreversible. As cultivators from the old era, their best choice to integrate into the new era and join us is to do so."

"I see. I'm only targeting those who provoke me." Li Chen said calmly, "Please have the students gather on Pioneer Star, Principal."

"It's already been arranged." Qin Xiaotian nodded, but hesitated to speak further.

Li Chen glanced at him: "Speak your mind."

Qin Xiaotian coughed lightly: "To be honest, there is a group of students in the academy who have performed exceptionally well, and many of them have already touched the threshold of the Body Tempering Realm Perfection, but I feel that—they still have room for improvement—"

He paused, then cautiously said, "I wonder if Teacher Li Chen could—take a few more people to Moon Spring Star? They are all truly promising talents, and I am willing to exchange half of the academy's resources for them."

Li Chen remained silent for a moment.

Qin Xiaotian's heart jumped.

He was actually aware that this request was a bit excessive, because he had learned from Li Chen's students that Yuequan Star was the training ground chosen by Li Chen.

But those students are indeed worth nurturing. If they could train in a better environment, they might become the backbone of the Earth in the future.

"How many people?" Li Chen suddenly asked.

Qin Xiaotian was taken aback, then overjoyed: "One hundred and twenty-three people! All of them are in the top five of their respective grades, and their character has been rigorously assessed!"

"Tomorrow morning, take them to the boundary marker."

""

Li Chen said, "There's no need for resources; I don't lack them for now. But let me make this clear: Moon Spring Star is my territory, so if you go there, you'll have to abide by my rules."

"That's natural!"

Qin Xiaotian solemnly clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you so much, Teacher Li Chen, for your kindness!"

Even though he was the principal, he inexplicably felt that Li Chen was the real principal.

The two chatted briefly about the recent situation at the university before Qin Xiaotian took his leave to make arrangements for the next day.
