Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"That voice...is that Senior Brother Yuan?!"

Liu Lanyu quickly turned her head to look at the person who spoke, but the next moment she saw that Yuan Tiangang had woken up at some point and was now looking at Youlan, who was engaged in a fierce battle in the sky, with a complicated expression.

Clearly, as one of the senior members of Falling Star Academy, Yuan Tiangang, though only eighty years old, was not very healthy, but he was very experienced and had heard of Youlan, the Left Envoy of Wusheng who had suddenly appeared before him!

"Senior Brother Yuan, your body...!"

Liu Lanyu looked at Yuan Tiangang with concern, but the man waved his hand slightly and struggled to his feet again, seemingly indicating that he was alright. "It's nothing! Although I'm a bit old, I'm not going to die yet..."

"Besides, while Dai Qisi's illusionary demonic eyes are powerful, they're not enough to drive this old man to the brink of death..."

Yuan Tiangang's tone remained firm, while a hint of resentment flashed across his aged face, as if he felt somewhat ashamed that he had just been defeated by a mere woman.

Fortunately, his foundation as a fifth-level Yuanhai Realm cultivator was still there. As the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Bone Incense in his body gradually dissipated and his Yuan power in his dantian gradually recovered, Yuan Tiangang was able to easily break Dai Qisi's illusionary demonic eyes.

However, what puzzled Yuan Tiangang was that the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Bone Fragrance in his body, which had been raging fiercely just moments before, suddenly vanished without a trace, as if the winter snow had melted away. It was quite strange!

"Old Yuan, you're finally awake!"

"Oh dear! What a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!..."

"Hey, you're right! I thought we were going to throw you a funeral!"

Seeing Yuan Tiangang successfully awaken, not only Liu Lanyu was surprised, but Dao Butong, Yin Baili and Li Dazui also came over. At this moment, everyone's face was full of relief.

Moreover, just like their opponents, the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Bone Incense on their bodies suddenly dissipated for some unknown reason, as if the mastermind behind the poisonous incense had already died suddenly, which was hard to understand.

"Hmph! Don't worry, since you old geezers are all still alive, I certainly won't die so soon..."

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Dao Butong and the others who were making jokes, then snorted coldly, his tone equally unyielding.

Faced with Yuan Tiangang's sarcasm, Dao Butong and the others merely exchanged glances, then smiled without saying a word, not taking it to heart.

After all, these people were not only fellow disciples, but also the Seven Fallen Stars who were once famous in the Yuanfeng Realm of the Eastern Xuan Region. In terms of their private relationship, they were almost like brothers, and it was common for them to bicker with each other.

"Everyone, now that Senior Brother Chu has returned safely, the crisis of Falling Star Academy's annihilation can be considered resolved...!"

Yin Baili stroked his long beard and said with a touch of emotion.

"good."

Li Dazui nodded slightly and chimed in, "With Senior Brother Chu's cultivation at the sixth level of the Profound Gang Realm, and having inherited the mantle of his former master Xuanmingzi, a mere Left Envoy of the Unborn Realm can't possibly do anything to him...!"

"Fatty Li, that's true, but we still shouldn't let our guard down..."

Dao Butong slowly stepped forward and then reminded them in a deep voice, clearly not as optimistic as the others.

"Of the four protectors of the Wusheng Sect in the past, three have now been dispatched at once. Whether it is the Illusion Protector Dai Qisi, who is in charge, or the Beast Protector Manlong and the Soldier Protector Xu Yiping, these people are all extraordinary individuals..."

"Moreover, the number of the Wusheng cultists and various drug slaves who invaded Falling Star Academy this time is also enormous, at least tens of thousands! Let alone ten thousand living people, even if we old guys were to capture ten thousand pigs, it would probably take us quite a bit of effort...!"

Dao Butong shrugged, his tone somewhat helpless.

"Brother Dao is right. Although Brother Chu has returned safely, we still cannot underestimate our opponent...!"

Liu Lanyu nodded slightly at first, then seemed to remember something and looked at Yuan Tiangang opposite her again, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of curiosity, "By the way, Senior Brother Yuan, what exactly was that Leng family tragedy you mentioned fifty years ago...?"

"Ahem, well, that's a long story..."

Faced with Liu Lanyu's curiosity, Yuan Tiangang first circulated his internal energy to suppress the sweet taste in his throat before slowly saying, "About fifty years ago, the Leng family was merely a weak and unknown family within the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Xuan Region. Not only was the family population dwindling and experts scarce, but even some newly promoted ninth-rank families could bully the Leng family at will and seize their property and territory..."

"In order to escape this situation, the more than one hundred members of the Leng family chose to join the Wusheng Sect, hoping to revitalize the family with the help of the sect. As for the woman named Youlan, she was from the former Leng family..."

"Youlan, Leng Youlan... Hmm, I seem to have heard of such a person before, but if I remember correctly, the Leng family has already...!"

Seemingly lost in thought, Li Dazui patted his large stomach and hesitated before speaking.

"That's right, the Leng family was wiped out fifty years ago, and that's the origin of the Leng family tragedy..."

Nodding slightly again, Yuan Tiangang continued to explain slowly, "Besides, the Leng family, as a henchman of the Wusheng Sect, once sent out many assassins to gather intelligence on Luoxing Academy and Dihu Star, and even attempted to assassinate Master Xuanmingzi. However, all these conspiracies and schemes were ultimately thwarted by Senior Brother Chu..."

"So Brother Chu had dealings with the Leng family fifty years ago. If what Senior Brother Yuan said is true, could it be that Leng Youlan, this demonic witch, has come here for revenge...?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lanyu frowned slightly, her face showing even more apprehension.

Because women's telepathy is mostly interconnected, and she could clearly sense the intense killing intent emanating from Leng Youlan, as well as the incredibly strong flame of revenge in her eyes!

"That possibility cannot be ruled out..."

Yuan Tiangang stroked his long beard, his expression equally solemn and grave. "Because the leader of the Leng family assassins who attempted to assassinate Master Xuanmingzi back then was none other than Leng Youlan right before our eyes..."

"And Senior Brother Chu was a kind-hearted man who disliked killing. He was known for his righteousness and was called the 'Sword That Doesn't Kill' in the martial arts world. Everyone knew him!"

"The Sword That Doesn't Kill? Old Yuan, now that you mention it, I suddenly remember that Brother Chu seemed to have had that nickname before Master Xuanmingzi passed on his position..."

Upon hearing this, Dao Butong also slapped his forehead and exclaimed loudly.

"Indeed, whether it's the White-Browed Martial Saint or the Sword of No Killing, they are merely some of the many titles my former Senior Brother Chu held. As for this demoness from the Demonic Sect..."

At this point, Yuan Tiangang shifted his gaze, looking once more at the aloof and murderous white-clad figure in the sky. His tone gradually revealed apprehension, "No, it should be Leng Youlan, the sole survivor of the Leng family massacre from back then...!"

"This demoness is now leading a group of experts from the Wusheng Sect to invade Falling Star Academy. I'm afraid her intentions are not just as simple as destroying Falling Star Academy and seizing Earth Tiger Star...!"
