Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 700 - 701: Strong Comeback

Chapter 700: Chapter 701: Strong Comeback

The Poison-hand Demon Lord was indeed a prominent figure throughout the entire Northern Domain.

The top three finishers of the last Martial Arts Tournament had entered "Gui Xu Tian" and obtained many benefits from it.

Such a person, given some time, would almost certainly cross the barrier of life and death and step onto the Life and Death Platform to become an elder ancestor.

But now, he should never have provoked Chu Fengmian, leading to his immediate demise.

"Chu Fengmian, are we going to return to Martial King City?" Han Yueli asked Chu Fengmian on the side.

"After some time passes, we can set out for ’Gui Xu Tian’."

Han Yueli knew that Chu Fengmian’s rash decision to take her away was actually to lure the Poison-hand Demon Lord into their trap. Now that the task was completed, it was naturally time to leave.

However, the day when "Gui Xu Tian" would open was still some time away. During this period, where exactly should the two of them go?

Returning to Beimang Academy would have been the best choice, but now that Chu Fengmian had killed Ye Tianjun, returning to Beimang Academy would also be a dangerous proposition.

The Ye family, which stood behind Ye Tianjun, was deeply hidden within Beimang Academy, but the affairs of Beimang Academy had never been free of the Ye family’s shadow. Chu Fengmian’s return to Beimang Academy would also mean countless troubles.

"No, we’re going back to Beimang Academy," Chu Fengmian said after some thought.

"Having taken the top spot in the Martial Arts Tournament, I have made a great contribution. Returning to Beimang Academy now, the Ye family would not dare to lay a hand on me. Otherwise, Ye Mu wouldn’t have taken such a risk to try to kill me right there on the platform," Chu Fengmian spoke softly.

Elder Ye Mu’s decision to confront Chu Fengmian during the Martial Arts Tournament, in the arena itself, was a highly risky move.

Even as an elder ancestor of the eternal realm, he couldn’t possibly have ignored the pressure from the overarching forces.

Had he been able to wait until Chu Fengmian returned to Beimang Academy to deal with him, he wouldn’t have faced such immense pressure to assassinate Chu Fengmian.

Now, Chu Fengmian, who had survived the Martial Arts Tournament as the top contender, was considered a great asset to Beimang Academy, and the academy’s own elders wouldn’t allow Chu Fengmian to die at the hands of the Ye family now.

Returning to Beimang Academy appeared dangerous, but in reality, it was the best move.

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Han Yueli nodded her head, but still reminded, "Okay, but we still need to be careful. That Ye Mu dared to take action during the Martial Arts Tournament and may not behave well within Beimang Academy."

"That’s a given," Chu Fengmian replied.

Chu Fengmian had always been vigilant towards his enemies.

Aside from this reason for choosing to return to Beimang Academy, the advancement of his Black Profound Sword Formation also played a decisive role in his decision-making.

Although the Black Profound Sword Formation couldn’t truly contend with those ancient beings who had surpassed life and death, delaying them for a while was not a problem.

Should any mishap occur, Chu Fengmian would use the Black Profound Sword Formation to buy time for himself to retreat unscathed.

"Let’s go. We return now."

As they spoke, Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli transformed into a streak of fleeing light, flying all the way toward Beimang Academy.

A journey not far away took two days’ time. During these two days, Chu Fengmian was also using the power of his bloodline to continuously heal Han Yueli’s injuries.

The injuries Han Yueli sustained from Zang Tian were now fully healed.

Within two days, the two streaks of fleeing light had arrived back at Beimang Academy. They didn’t stop the whole way and directly crossed the void to enter the sacred domain of Beimang.

During these two days, everything that had occurred in the Martial Arts Tournament began to spread throughout the Northern Domain.

Chu Fengmian’s name was now known to all Martial Artists in the entire Northern Domain and etched in their hearts.

Killing Ye Tianjun, defeating the Cold-faced Demon Lord, Feng Wuxin, and even surviving an encounter with Elder Ye Mu. Any one of these feats would be considered heaven-shocking, and now all had occurred to Chu Fengmian.

He was titled the number one person of the younger generation in the Northern Domain.

No one dared to refute this title.

Even within the whole sacred domain of Beimang, it had become unprecedentedly lively; Beimang Academy had not taken the top spot in the Martial Arts Tournament for several terms. Now that Chu Fengmian had won the championship, all were discussing the matter.

"Crack!"

Within the sacred domain of Beimang...

The sky above suddenly split open, and two streaks of fleeing light suddenly flew into it.

"Who is that?"

"What a swift fleeing light!"

Many Beimang Academy disciples raised their heads and looked over, utterly astonished; the speed of the fleeing light was too fast.

"Such speed, could it be Chu Fengmian?"

"Definitely, it must be Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli together!"

Many were surprised for a moment before realizing who the master of the fleeing light was.

Only Chu Fengmian now could come and go from the sacred domain of Beimang with such speed.

However, many of the disciples, upon seeing Chu Fengmian’s fleeing light, revealed expressions of surprise in their eyes.

Chu Fengmian had now killed Ye Tianjun, yet he dared to return?

They had also heard of Chu Fengmian’s confrontation with Elder Ye Mu. During discussions, many thought Chu Fengmian would have to hide outside for a while, at least until he survived a great life-and-death calamity before choosing to return.

But now, Chu Fengmian had come back regardless, as if he completely disregarded the threat of Elder Ye Mu.

Atop a mountain peak within the sacred domain of Beimang stood a grand palace.

An old man with white hair was sitting in meditation within the palace. This white-haired elder, though looking aged, had a vitality far stronger than that of younger individuals, even hinting at a youthful rejuvenation.

This was clearly a person who had transcended life and death, a true ancient figure, the patriarchal elder of Beimang Academy.

Suddenly.

Outside the palace, a figure came rushing in.

"Elder Ye Mu, Chu Fengmian has returned to the academy."

This figure was Xi Zhi, once a Core Disciple of the Holy Faction, who had also secured a position in the top ten of the Martial Arts Tournament and had now returned to Beimang Academy in advance.

Upon seeing Chu Fengmian returning to Beimang Academy, he hurriedly came to report.

"That damned brat, he actually dares to come back!"

Elder Ye Mu’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, burning with rage.

"I didn’t kill that boy in Martial King City, and now he dares to come back here; I must kill him! Let’s go!"

Elder Ye Mu stood up, breaking through space, and with Xi Zhi in tow, he stepped into the void.
