Chapter 31: Punishing the Vile

Su Wan, sitting quietly in her chair reading a book, raised her eyelids as Wang Cuiying swept into the room like a peacock displaying its plumage. Qin Quanan remained behind Wang Cuiying, head bowed in silence. Su Wan glanced back toward the room where Qin Yi was resting and asked with a bright, beaming smile, "What is the meaning of this, Auntie?"

News of Su Wan’s abduction had reached Wang Cuiying’s ears, and she had been delirious with joy upon hearing it. Without a second thought, she had dragged Qin Quanan along and rushed over.

Driven by the Soul-Extinguishing Demon Elder, the Demon Soul Grand Array, activated by the combined efforts of thirty people, was powerful enough to rival a master of the Yuan Dan Realm. The newly born Heavenly Fierce Beast, its defenses still relatively fragile, struggled a few times before its strength failed. It was pinned firmly by the Demon Soul halo, which began to slowly erode its soul.

The Purple Flame Dragon Might erupted. Li Feng’s bones thickened and expanded, condensing into scales of purple light; the aura of the Purple Flame Dragon instantly rivaled the brilliance of the scorching sun’s sword energy.

Just as Li Zhaoyuan intended to leap into the air and fly across the water toward the bamboo pavilion, a row of wooden bridges immediately manifested beneath his feet, connecting directly to the center of the lake. The bridges were formed by his own heart.

Yuan Hong waved his large hand, tucking away the Thunder Roc egg before leaping away. With a single stride, he vanished into the distance, finding himself amidst a mountain range, much to his own surprise.

"Fine, fine. I swear, I swear I won't do anything foolish. I will live on properly!" The black-robed cultivator felt a wrenching pain in his heart as he listened to Ji Yue. He struggled to suppress his sobs, raising his palm to feign an oath.

Why would such a formation, which only a master of arrays and restrictions could refine and engrave, exist in this cavern of chilling winds? Could it have been carved simply to prevent the degenerate disciples of the Xianqiao Sect from wandering aimlessly after being punished, instead of reflecting on their faults?

In recent years, the younger generation of the Green Beast Kingdom had shown signs of talent depletion and a shortage of geniuses. As a result, the kingdom spared no expense in sending its top prospects to other nations for cultivation.

"No, and besides, after what I did, I am unworthy," Uruze said, her voice low.

Night was about to fall, and the Lannister Academy of Aristocratic Magic was bathed in the dim, golden twilight. While charred marks from the "Solar Corona" remained uncleared around the academy, everything seemed to be in a state of rebirth, with a glimmer of hope permeating the silence and desolation.

Gao Shun finally understood the situation. Standing before the formation, he gripped his long spear tightly, prepared for battle.

"Since everyone is here, let’s practice our team coordination first," Liu Feng suggested after the introductions, noticing that the group had nothing to do.

"Heh, I find it quite amusing. If you are not satisfied, then I shall send you back to Ruixue Villa..." The smile on the person in white boots deepened, their eyes curving into a beautiful crescent. Leaning back in the chair, they wore an expression that clearly said, "If you don't listen, I will send you right back."

If he hadn't been in the middle of a lecture, he would have charged out to grab that rude student. This was a blatant disregard for him as a teacher; such a student deserved a stern reprimand, or there was no telling what kind of trouble they would cause once they left the school.

However, thinking back to their first meeting, when she had fallen into his bathtub and immediately began teasing him, he felt a sense of relief.

The Envoy of Xuanzhen smoothed his sleeves for a long time, but unable to restore them to their original state, he rolled them up in frustration and departed using his lightness skills, leaving without unsealing my acupoints.

"I discovered this cave by chance; outsiders should not know of it. You may cultivate here," Meng Zhaojun said.

Because Gu Xijin held a special card, she did not have to wait in line and could enter through a special channel, enjoying VIP service with remarkably simple procedures.

At the thought of this, Qing Ziye and Bai Weiyang even cast a glance of gratitude toward Ji Shuhan.
