Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 733 - 155: I Just Ask You This One Question
Scholars always harbor a naive fantasy, believing that once they have studied a couple of scriptures, they can become peerless masters, wielding the divine weapon named morality and rites to command the world, with none daring to disobey.
But as the saying goes, walk the night path often, and you’ll eventually encounter ghosts.
Initially intent on a peaceful exchange, Xia Yubing was awakened by a single sentence from Li Mumu.
I, a noble demon of the Heretical Path, a protector Angel of the Longevity Sect, why would I reason with you?
Is there a shortage of people in this world who will reason with you?
Has anyone expressed the opinions of those five hundred thousand people?
Thus, Xia Yubing made her move, raising her hand and casting a chain towards the old master.
To be fair, she did not hold back with her strike.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been smashed into a pulp on the spot.
However, the old master did not move an inch, and the chain hit him as if it struck air.
A fake?
No, that’s not right...
Xia Yubing suddenly looked up.
The figure before her was not an illusion; his breathing and body temperature were no different from that of a normal person, yet her attack did not land on anything tangible.
What kind of situation was this?
What surprised Xia Yubing even more was that the gaze of the person she felt was not in front of her.
With a sudden glance upward, she saw an enormous figure between heaven and earth, standing tall within Jishan Academy, looking down upon the ants beneath its feet.
What kind of Law of Heaven and Earth is this?
"Only women and petty men are difficult to nurture. If distant, they resent; if close, they are insolent. The words of the Saint are indeed not deceitful to me."
The old master muttered nonsense to himself, flipped his wrist, and revealed a black inkstone, smashing it down towards Xia Yubing’s head!
The entire sky was obscured!
"Ahhhhhh—!"
Shen Qingxi frantically shook her wheelchair: "Senior Sister Cheng, did you see that? This old thing is planning to blast you along with him! Such loyalty from you, and this is the end you get!"
"Stop shaking it! My heart can’t take it!"
Cheng Xuefei covered her chest begging for mercy: "It’s the issue of propriety! This is a special ability controlled by ink guests who have advanced from scholarly heresy – Conformity!"
"Tsk, you really won’t give up until you’re at the Yellow River, huh? When we get back, I’ll have to interrogate you properly and see what secrets you’ve been hiding inside."
After asking the key piece of information, Shen Qingxi immediately stopped her actions.
She was not actually that panicked; after all, she had experienced even more exaggerated situations than this.
What could be more pleasant than tagging along with two high-level experts acting like pushovers and leeching experience?
Faced with the black inkstone falling from the sky, nearly obscuring the entire sky, Xia Yubing remained unfazed and calmly said: "Using the rules of the Mortal World to control the people of the Netherworld, you sure have a high opinion of yourself!"
A pair of pitch-black ghostly hands appeared out of thin air behind her, holding up with both hands, stably catching the inkstone.
At the same time, the ground beneath Xia Yubing’s feet rose rapidly, and a Bone Altar made of White Bone Skulls emerged from the earth, carrying her aloft, slowly rising. For a moment, the chill of the wind filled the air, and the howling of ghosts and wolves was incessant.
With the arrival of the Night Wandering Deity, all ghosts retreat!
An astonished soft "hmm" came from the old master in mid-air.
"So young yet able to cultivate into a Night Wandering Deity? You can’t be a nobody from the Academy...Ah, I remember now, you are Xia..."
Xia Yubing smacked her Amber Coffin against his face forcefully.
"There must be a story here."
Shen Qingxi leaned into Li Mumu’s ear and whispered softly.
"I feel like there’s definitely a shocking revelation inside, filled with love and hate."
Li Mumu gave her a look of agreement.
"You don’t know?"
Cheng Xuefei was slightly surprised.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingxi immediately perked up: "What do you know? Spill it!"
Cheng Xuefei exclaimed in astonishment: "Isn’t this your newly made friend? Even I have heard about the three Demon Heads of the Longevity Sect... Are you telling me you don’t even know the origin and whereabouts of these two?"
Uh...
Shen Qingxi pressed her lips together and slowly turned her head to look at Li Mumu.
Someone, please save this child. It feels like she’s about to socially die again.
Why did I say ’again’?
Why do we have to chat at this moment? Because what’s happening before us is simply unbearable to watch.
The solemn and stern old master who was just puffing his beard and glaring, is currently being grabbed by the collar by Xia Yubing, who wields in her other hand a plank... No, her natal Magic Artifact, the Amber Coffin, although it looks pretty much like a plank.
The cold coffin is being slapped ruthlessly across the face.
Sister Bingbing is really in a fiery temper today.
Constable-in-Chief Lu, who punished the western checkpoint, only threw three punches.
In the few moments that Shen Qingxi murmured to herself, Xia Yubing had already slapped the old master’s face more than twenty times.
His teeth were all shattered.
"Law of Heaven and Earth" is a Divine Skill that not everyone can truly grasp.
Within the twenty Dharma Gate systems, only the Barbarian Technique School, which seeks to change heaven and earth with great force, might possibly master the Divine Skill of the Law of Heaven and Earth. Some abilities from other schools might achieve similar effects, but they are not the true Law of Heaven and Earth.
For example, what this old master employed, "Conformity", essentially uses the concept of dimension to produce visual deception. Unless you grasp the depth of why the pigeon is so large, you cannot see through his disguise.
And Xia Yubing just happens to possess a similar ability, which is a Divine Skill held by the Night Wandering Deity - "Manifesting Sanctity before Men"!
The so-called rules are rules only when the ones who set them abide by them first.
The ethical relationships such as sovereign and subject, parent and child, presuppose that the sovereign must behave like one, and the subject can be a subject; a parent must act as a parent so that the child can be a child.
Yet, later generations misunderstood it to mean blind loyalty for subjects and absolute filial piety for children – how absurd!
The majesty of the old master lasted only for a moment before it was shattered by Xia Yubing’s brutal beating, leaving him with continuous wails of agony.
In fact, he had already been beaten to his knees long ago, but Xia Yubing kept grasping his collar, refusing to let go. It looked as though she intended to beat him to death right there.
At this point, someone finally couldn’t sit still any longer.
"Zhaoning, stop now."
A composed voice came out of the darkness.
Xia Yubing huffed coldly and casually tossed aside the old master who had passed out, and seated herself back on the Bone Altar and sternly said to the dark: "Kong Ting, you think quite highly of yourself!"
Li Mumu followed the voice and saw a handsome middle-aged scholar emerge slowly from the darkness.
Hmm, a middle-aged, good-looking gentleman with a natural demeanor and a dignified presence. His skin was well-maintained, and his hair and beard were neatly groomed. If he were in a future TV series, he’d at least play an Emperor or some similar role.
Is this the legendary Mountain Leader of Jishan Academy?
The man gave a slight smile and nodded his head: "Humble scholar Kong Ting greets Princess Zhaoning."
Xia Yubing ignored his gesture and went straight to the point: "Are you planning to kill five hundred thousand people?"
Kong Ting glanced at Cheng Xuefei seated in her wheelchair, shook his head with a smile, and said: "How could Your Highness believe such preposterous rumors? But regarding Your Highness... After many years, you remain as formidable as ever, yet on what grounds and with what position do you question me today?"
"Have you... willingly surrendered and are now ready to serve the new dynasty’s Empress with all your might?"
Xia Yubing shook her head: "Of the twenty-nine emperors of the Former Dynasty, I dare not say they were all wise and virtuous. Among them, there were indeed those who were inept and inactive, or bizarre and absurd, but none have ever committed the atrocity of sacrificing five hundred thousand common people in a single breath. So don’t be cunning – there’s no need to mention the new and old dynasties..."
"I only ask you one thing, are you going to kill five hundred thousand people?"
