For the first time, Yu Huang felt that Sheng Xiao had a childish side to him.
“Sure.” She decided to act childish with him as well.
Tonight, at eight o’clock, the dean was going to hold the beast heart burial ceremony for Prime Emperor Cong Lang.
The academy’s loudspeaker sounded. Professor Mu’s voice spread throughout the entire Divine Realm Academy.
“All teachers and students, please immediately go to the cultivation hall to participate in the Prime Emperor’s funeral!”
“All teachers and students, please immediately go to the cultivation hall to participate in the Prime Emperor’s funeral!”
The broadcast was repeated twice before it was switched off.
The students were excited when they heard the announcement.
Prime Emperor’s burial ceremony?
Which Prime Emperor?
Soon, the students and faculty arrived at the Cultivation Hall.
When Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang arrived at the training hall, Sheng Yang happened to see them. Sheng Yang stood on tiptoe and waved at Yu Huang. “Yu Huang, come to us! Let’s stand together!”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao walked toward Sheng Yang and the others.
Sheng Yang only realized that Sheng Xiao’s mouth was red when they got closer.
Sheng Yang winked at Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang. She said, “Brother, your mouth is swollen. It seems that you two had a good time.”
Yu Huang knew that Sheng Yang had the wrong idea, but she couldn’t be bothered to explain.
Sheng Xiao explained, “It’s not what you think. We had hotpot. It was too spicy.”
“Oh, really?” Sheng Yang seemed to believe Sheng Xiao’s explanation. But, she looked at him suspiciously.
Sheng Xiao suddenly remembered what happened in the hot spring this afternoon. For a moment, he was not sure if his lips were swollen because of the chilli or Yu Huang.
Sheng Xiao ignored Sheng Yang and walked toward the staff.
Sheng Yang asked Yu Huang, “Sister-in-law, what did you do on your date today?”
Yu Huang tapped Sheng Yang’s head and pushed her head away a little. “Don’t ask so much about adult’s affairs.”
Sheng Yang snorted. When she saw that Professor Mu and the rest were here, she immediately quieted down.
Professor Mu shouted, “All students and professors, retreat five hundred meters!” Upon hearing this, everyone silently retreated five hundred meters.
With the Cultivation Hall as the center, Professor Mu drew a huge circle five hundred meters away from it. It was a wall that prevented anyone from approaching.
The principal appeared in the sky above the Cultivation Hall. He held a crystal box in both hands, and inside the box lay a beast heart with immense energy.
Sensing the boundless energy contained within the beast’s heart, the students all revealed intoxicated expressions.
The principal held up the crystal box and said respectfully, “This is Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart. Today, Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart will forever be buried beneath the floor of Divine Realm Academy’s Cultivation Hall. From now on, it will be together with Prime Master Goldfeather’s Spirit Gathering Bone, providing spiritual strength to our school’s Cultivation Hall!”
Upon hearing this, the students who were unaware of the situation were all shocked.
Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart!
Why would Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart appear here?!
Who brought it out?
Yin Rong looked at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao subconsciously.
On the day when the Cong Lang Mystic Realm was sealed, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were the last two people to be thrown out of the mystic realm. Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart was most likely brought out by them.
“Whoa!” Xiao Shu exclaimed beside Yin Rong’s ear. “Everyone else went in to absorb the Prime Emperor’s spiritual bodies, but these two actually dug up the Spirit Gathering Tree and even brought the Prime Emperor’s Beast Heart back to the academy.”
Yin Rong said, “I think the Spirit Gathering Tree really likes Yu Huang. Perhaps Prime Emperor Cong Lang willingly left it with Yu Huang.”
When Xiao Shu recalled what had happened in Cong Lang Mystic Realm, he actually felt that Yin Rong’s words made sense.
When the dean spoke again, Yin Rong and Xiao Shu immediately stopped their discussion.
“Everyone, follow me. Bow and thank Prime Emperor Cong Lang for his kindness!” The dean released his hand, and the crystal box automatically floated to the sky above the Cultivation Hall.
The dean took a step back and bowed three times to Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s Beast Heart.
After the bow, the dean, Gold Ingot, and the other three Grand Masters flew into the sky. The five of them mobilized all the spiritual energy in their bodies and lifted the entire mountain where the Cultivation Hall was.
The students were dumbfounded.
The mountain was lifted up, revealing the situation at the bottom of the mountain.
In the deepest part of the mountain lay a crystal coffin. Inside the coffin was a sparkling white skeleton, the Spirit Gathering Bone of Prime Master Goldfeather.
Upon seeing the remains of Prime Master Goldfeather, all the teachers and students bowed three more times.
After bowing, the dean waved his hand, and the crystal box containing Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s Beast Heart flew to the side of Prime Master Goldfeather’s remains. The two were separated by a distance, and neither interfered with the other as they silently released their energy.
In the future, these two seniors would use their strength to bring endless spiritual strength to the students of Divine Realm Academy.
After the burial ceremony ended, the students were all discussing why Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart had appeared here. Yin Rong directly went to Yu Huang and asked, “Yu Huang, did you bring Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s beast heart out?”
The destruction of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm could not be hidden. Yu Huang nodded and told Yin Rong, “Yes, Prime Emperor Cong Lang felt that the existence of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm was a threat, so he decided to destroy the mystic realm and let me bring out his beast heart.”
Yin Rong immediately thought of the Beast Tamers that had been turned into dolls in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s ancient pavilion. She felt that the Cong Lang Mystic Realm was too eerie, and destroying itself was a good thing.
Yin Rong then told Yu Huang, “The appearance of the Blood Peacock Organization has brought panic to the continent. Tomorrow morning, the core disciples of the Yin Clan will take leave to return to the clan to train and strive to improve our strength. What about you? Do you intend to stay in the academy, or do you have other plans?”
All the great family clans had their own resources. The appearance of the Blood Peacock made these big clans feel uneasy. In order to increase the strength of the clan’s disciples, the great clans naturally had their own plans.
Yu Huang said, “I also want to follow my mentor out to gain experience.”
“Are you talking about Supremacy Lin?”
“Yeah.”
Yin Rong said, “I originally intended to invite you to return to the Yin Clan with me to train. But Supremacy Lin only has you as a personal disciple, so he will definitely give you the best resources. I worried too much.”
Besides, Yu Huang was Sheng Xiao’s fiancée. The Sheng family would definitely give her the best resources.
After bidding farewell to Yu Huang, Yin Rong returned to pack her things while intending to leave early in the morning.
The next morning.
Many Elders sent by big families arrived at the Divine Realm Academy. These people found Professor Mu and expressed that they wanted to bring core disciples back to their families to train.
Professor Mu was also supportive of this. This was because after this group of people left, the academy’s limited resources would be able to be distributed to independent Beast Tamers.
Mrs. Sheng came with the elders of the Sheng family. The elders took away the core disciples of the Sheng family while Mrs. Sheng planned to bring Sheng Xiao and Sheng Yang to the Wind Blade Mountain for training.
Wind Blade Mountain was the capital of demons and was known as the Beast Tamer Hell. That place was even more chaotic than the Rakshasa Empire was.
The people who lived in Rakshasa Empire were mostly common criminals and mercenaries. However, those who lived in the Wind Blade Mountain Range were all Beast Tamers who had committed crimes.
Their cultivation levels spanned from Scholar to Grand Master.
That was a place that was not bound to any country or by any law. There was no organization that could control Beast Tamers there. In that place, the rule of the jungle reigned supreme!
Sheng Xiao was already a Supreme Master. It was reasonable for him to go to the Wind Blade Mountain to train. But, Sheng Yang was only a Scholar. It was a huge risk for Madam Sheng to throw Sheng Yang into the Wind Blade Mountain.
Naturally, Madam Sheng couldn’t bear it either. She looked at Sheng Yang’s tender face and said, “Yang Yang, the Blood Peacock’s goal is to kill all the Beast Tamers in this world. As the leader of the Hundred Cultivation Families, the Sheng Clan will give it all we’ve got when the war comes! If the Sheng Clan loses, do you know what will happen to us?”
Sheng Yang bit her lips and looked at her mother nervously. She did not say anything.
Mrs Sheng said, “As the president of the Beast Tamer Alliance, your father will be beheaded by the Blood Peacock Organization in front of everyone to boost their morale! Your genius brother will be tortured to death by the Night Peacock Organization and used as a threat to warn all the Beast Tamers on the continent! As a demon beast, I will be eaten alive!”
Sheng Yang’s pupils dilated as her face turned pale.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Mom, I’ll go to Wind Blade Mountain with you!”
