In the attic.

Ning Xiaoqian could not help but ask: "Master, you mean to say, that person came from Yaoguang Lake?"

The middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes."

Ning Xiaoqian frowned: "If I were Li Yi, I would definitely leave together with her. At the very least, I would be able to preserve my life."

The middle-aged woman spoke: "What if the one with Yaoguang Lake does not wish to bring Li Yi away? What if Li Yi also doesn't want to? "

Mo Wu Shuang could take Chen Meng away, but he could not take Li Yi away. If he took away the latter, then it would be a huge disaster for the entire Yaoguang Lake.

This was something that Mo Wuji was well aware of.

Similarly, Li Yi did not want to leave. As for why he did not want to, perhaps only he himself knew.

Why?

The middle-aged woman asked herself many questions, but she could not find an answer.

But if Wen Yuqing was here, she would definitely know.

Ning Xiaoqian muttered: "Is he really a demon?" Subsequently, he recalled what the middle-aged woman had said. Regardless of whether or not he was a demon, his birth was already destined to be one.

Weng! *

There was no sadness or joy. It was clear and melodious and everyone could hear it loud and clear.

Hm?

In the attic, both of them paused for a moment.

In a corner, Lan Yu Mo was also frowning.

All the wind and rain seemed to have frozen at this moment, vanishing, leaving only the ringing sound of the sword echoing unceasingly.

Even the faraway Mo Wushuang stopped in her tracks and subconsciously turned her face to the side.

"The sword has nine chimes. When you hear the first cry of the sword, it will be the arrival of your first great calamity. Remember what I said, no matter what you encounter, you must survive."

"Live!"

The black figure's words clearly echoed in Li Yi's mind. He subconsciously gripped the black greatsword tightly, and thought, so it turns out that what senior said was true.

Was this the so-called sword chime?

The first great calamity?

Li Yi slowly raised his head and looked at the thick curtain of night and the world submerged in rain. He felt the icy coldness in the air and for some reason, his heart grew calmer and calmer.

The sword chime gradually faded, but it still lingered in his heart.

At this moment, he even felt a kind of heartbeat from the sword in his hand. That kind of heartbeat was very regular and the frequency was also getting faster and faster. It was like a human's heart, filled with a thin air of vitality.

Peng!

Young Master of The Gao Family's fist came out, carrying a boundless strength and a strong killing intent.

But for some reason, this astonishing attack, in Li Yi's eyes, slowed down. It was as if the entire world had slowed down, and he could clearly see the direction, position, and explosive power of Young Master of The Gao Family's punch.

Hm?

He was dodged.

Young Master of The Gao Family's gaze turned cold as he threw another punch at him. All eight meridians in his body exploded and spirit energy gushed out like a river.

Weng! *

A ray of black light descended, and the black gigantic sword mercilessly slashed at Young Master of The Gao Family's arm. Pu!

Ah!

Miserable screams echoed in the air.

Young Master of The Gao Family's face instantly paled as he looked at Li Yi in disbelief. There was actually a kind of fear in his heart, for someone with a cultivation base at the seventh level of the Refinement Realm, he was not at the fifth.

There was no mistaking that kind of energy fluctuation.

Moreover, the sword in his hand wasn't simple either, to actually be like this … Terrifying.

What kind of power was that? This invisible pressure completely suppressed his body, leaving him no time to react.

Swish!

Lan Yumo's pupils suddenly shrank as she stared fixedly at Li Yi, her heart also starting to tremble.

He was more clear than many about the Young Master of The Gao Family's strength. Being ranked fourth among the seven great geniuses, was not just a joke, but now, an arm had been cut off by Li Yi in a single exchange.

This shocking scene caused everyone to feel suffocated.

At this moment, he only wanted to escape from this place. Yes, to leave this place far away.

Young Master of The Gao Family quickly turned around.

But just at this time, Li Yi caught up, and even faster than him, the black light of the sword in his hand burst out, enveloping the man in front of him.

"You dare?"

The furious voice exploded like thunder. At the edge of the plaza, a large group of people rushed over with extremely fast speeds. They were another group of people from Gao Family.

Far away, before they could even reach here, a terrifying arrow pierced through the air and headed straight for Li Yi's chest.

His speed seemed to be very slow.

Li Yi did not say a word, and only made a wrong move to dodge the arrow.

However, to his surprise, the arrow returned and once again shot towards him.

"Arm Severing Divine Bow."

Lan Yu's mouth was wide open.

This was a Rank Three Spiritual Weapon, and was always viewed as a treasure by the Gao Family. Never did he expect that in order to kill Li Yi, he had even taken it out.

Xiu Xiu! *

The string of arrows mixed in with the rain of arrows, flying towards Li Yi at a very fast speed, but the strange thing was, although they were so fast, they were extremely slow in Li Yi's eyes.

With a leap, he no longer cared about the arrows, the black greatsword in his hand erupted, and a few black streaks of light shot towards Young Master of The Gao Family's speeding figure.

"Young Lord."

"Be careful!"

"Run!"

He shouted out one after another, but it was all too late. The speed of the black light was simply too fast, and with the addition of the fact that the Young Master of The Gao Family had completely lost his will to resist.

In the end, the black light completely engulfed his body. He didn't even let out a miserable cry, and his body was hacked into several pieces.

A dignified Young Master of The Gao Family, one of the seven great geniuses, had actually died such an aggrieved death.

"Kill!"

As the three thousand imperial guards arrived, their cries of battle shook the heavens and earth, reverberating in the night sky.

"I'm going to kill you." That furious voice was accompanied by a terrifying aura that fluctuated up and down, and it was like a monstrous wave that swept out in all directions from the depths of the ocean.

Clang!

A large bronze bell appeared in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Lan Yumo could not help but cry out: "Another Spiritual Weapon of the third step, is your Gao Family going crazy? For the sake of killing a sect's cultivator, they actually dispatched two third stage Spiritual Weapon. "

The middle-aged woman had a solemn expression on her face as she whispered, "It's the imperial guards."

With the character of that person in the palace, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to attack Fifth Institute, unless … She thought of two people, Wu Qing and Mo Wushuang. If these two pressured the Imperial Palace, he might do the same.

But why would they do that?

One had to know that their mission was to investigate, not to cause trouble.

Ning Xiaoqian was also getting nervous, his chest was suffocating, "The imperial guards have already taken action, looks like Red Star Academy will not make it through this great calamity."

The middle-aged woman was silent, not saying a word.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the night was getting darker. It seemed as if the sky above the capital had caved in, sinking into an endless darkness.

In front of the imperial palace, two carriages slowly came to a halt. An old man and a young man walked out from within, and someone quickly walked up to them and held up two oil-paper fans for them.

However, the two of them did not move. Instead, they stood there quietly.

Qin Meng looked at the Principal and muttered: "It's the sound of the sword."

The dean nodded. "I know."

Qin Meng subconsciously clenched his fists, and said: "What should I do?"

The dean said softly, "Go on!"

Qin Meng did not speak anymore, and did not bother with the escort party anymore. He turned around and walked towards the rainy night, and gradually, his figure became blurry, and finally disappeared.

Looking at his disappearing figure, the old man revealed a bit of sadness. He shook his head and still walked in.
