That hundred-zhang demon god congealed the air around it, seeming even to distort space, making the demon god appear twisted like ground scorched by the afternoon sun, glaring viciously at him.
Shen Mu smiled faintly. "Does the Grand Chancellor have other business? " Pei Wujiu said coldly, "If I wanted to kill you, I would not need to do it myself. " "You wouldn't dare.
" Before Shen Mu could speak, a voice came from behind Pei Wujiu.
"If you touch my junior brother, there's no need for the Emperor to kill your family—I'll kill your family. " Pei Wujiu's body went rigid. He felt as though an indestructible blade were pressed against his neck. He laughed. "Chancellor Bashan?
You want to stand up for this little bald donkey?
" Chancellor Bashan stood behind him with his robe open at the chest, the two sabers at his back jingling ceaselessly in their sheaths.
His face was expressionless.
"Old Gu, you haven't appeared for two hundred years. Your dao arts and divine abilities are outdated. Shall I give you some pointers?
" Pei Wujiu suddenly burst into loud laughter, his body transforming into a wisp of demonic qi and vanishing. His voice came from afar: "Pointers for me? Bring the Heaven Saber, and that would be more like it!
" Shen Mu turned, and suddenly saw a blade-qi tear through the air, pursuing that wisp of demonic qi. "Chancellor Bashan has always loved a fight. Seeing a worthy quarry, he's delighted—he'll likely have it out with Pei Wujiu. A pity I can't keep up. " Shen Mu sighed and returned to the Scholars' Residence.
Just as he entered the door, he heard Snow Fox's voice: "Young master, we have a guest. " Shen Mu entered and saw the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He could not help but start slightly.
The Imperial Preceptor of Jingping. The Imperial Preceptor of Jingping turned around, his gaze falling upon him.
"The Holy Cult Leader of the Heavenly Sage Cult—I never expected him to be the Academy's first Doctor of the Academy. What an amusing thing.
