Chapter 1288: Chapter 551 Academic Palace Master_2

Deceit God loomed high above, even Sky Level experts might never see one in their lifetime.

"If Deceit God descends, I’m afraid that by now... They would have already begun suppressing that elder.

That elder was able to slay the Elder of Thornblood, facing Deceit God they might hold out for a dozen breaths or so.

In these dozen breaths, there would certainly be remnants of battle reaching here," Wu Xiang speculated logically.

If Deceit God descended, the aftermath of the battle that killed that elder would be enough to be heard here.

His speculation was quite reasonable, the only loophole was that Deceit God was more powerful than imagined, instantly killing that elder without even a sound of battle coming through.

Of course, there was another possibility that Wu Xiang hadn’t even considered.

The three of them headed towards the Inner City District, when suddenly, Executor Li’s eyes bulged as he gazed ahead, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

"What is this?"

He was filled with shock.

Wu Xiang and the Fatty also widened their eyes, their faces displaying expressions of disbelief.

The fat on the Fatty’s face quivered involuntarily.

In front of them, at the entrance of the Inner City District, stood a colossal figure!

The giant figure was a hundred zhang tall, and the majestic city walls seemed like toys in its presence.

Dark grey scales, a robust body, erect blood-red demon horns, all highlighted the terrifying power of this being.

"Deceit God!"

"This is Deceit God Anpupil!"

Gloomy red pupils stared like high-hanging lanterns, cold and ruthless.

Executor Li, facing the hundred-zhang-tall terrible figure’s eyes, trembled uncontrollably.

It was an instinctual reaction of living beings!

Deceit God had truly descended!

What were they to do now!

His heart was in turmoil, but all at once, his mind sharply focused.

"No, something’s wrong, why isn’t Deceit God moving!"

Executor Li noticed something amiss.

The others also began to wake up from their shock, now seriously examining the terrifying figure of Deceit God.

"Its eyes are bleeding!"

"There’s a piece missing from its shoulder, there’s so much blood!"

"No, wait, look, there seems to be characters on its body!"

The crowd looked over to see that on the large figure, someone had carved large characters into its flesh.

Blood oozed out as if it were paint filling in the characters, the dripping blood like golden edging to the text.

"I am Returning to Mortality, anyone who disturbs me is like this fiend!"

Executor Li read these characters out loud, trembling, as a storm of awe surged within him.

Just twelve simple characters, lacking any literary flair, but Executor Li read them with a sense of dominance.

To slay Deceit God, erect its corpse, and leave a message on its body.

What domineering action!

What imposing might!

...

"Master... you’re back?" Zhao Yan was anxious until he saw Qi Yuan return, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw that Qi Yuan’s robe was completely stained with blood, his anxiety returned.

"Master, did you annihilate the Blood Tiger Gang?" Zhao Yan couldn’t help but ask.

"Ah, the Blood Tiger Gang? I forgot about them," Qi Yuan indeed had forgotten.

This time, he had made a mess in the Inner City, even dulling his blade.

Fortunately, not only did he possess Innate Divine Strength, but he was also as fast as the middle school classmate often mentioned by netizens.

After being busy for half a day, he had indeed forgotten about the Blood Tiger Gang.

"The Blood Tiger Gang is still around? What about the blood on you?" Zhao Yan was confused, unsure of what had happened.

"It’s nothing, just casually killed a Deceit God," Qi Yuan said nonchalantly.

"Master, you shouldn’t joke about such things!" Zhao Yan quickly said.

"It’s getting dark, I need to sleep," Qi Yuan said and headed towards his room.

Zhao Yan watched his master’s back, holding back his words.

He was worried that the Blood Tiger Gang might come looking for trouble with his master.

*Sigh.* Zhao Yan let out a sigh.

About a quarter of an hour later, a knock on the door sounded.

Zhao Yan was apprehensive as he walked out to the yard: "Who is it?"

"It’s me!" A crisp voice came through.

Hearing the familiar voice, joy appeared on Zhao Yan’s face.

"Hong Mei, it’s you!"

The door swung open, and Hong Mei, dressed in form-fitting clothes, walked in.

Seeing the familiar figure, Zhao Yan’s face lit up with happiness.

Three years ago, he had found a severely injured and unconscious girl in Yunxue City.

This girl was none other than the Hong Mei before him.

Hong Mei was unlike ordinary women; she had always dreamt of finding the legendary "Academic Palace."

It was from Hong Mei that Zhao Yan had learned about the "Academic Palace."

The master of the "Academic Palace" was a mysterious figure.

He roamed through various realms, recruiting apprentices and compiling ancient books.

Now, the master of the "Academic Palace" was in the Kuijin Realm.

If they could meet the master of the Academic Palace and join him in service, they might...gain his protection and even leave this realm.

"Three years apart, and you haven’t changed a bit, Zhao Yan!" Hong Mei’s face was beaming as she looked at Zhao Yan.

"Why have you returned, Hong Mei?" Zhao Yan couldn’t contain the joy on his face.

He had once harbored affections for Hong Mei.

"I have some good news to tell you..."

"Have you found the Academic Palace?" Zhao Yan asked excitedly.

"Yes!" Hong Mei nodded, "Two years ago, I tracked down the whereabouts of the Academic Palace and finally met its students. After some setbacks and tribulations, I passed the tests and joined the Academic Palace."

Hong Mei made it sound simple, but Zhao Yan knew that it must have been anything but.

"Congratulations!" Zhao Yan was genuinely happy for Hong Mei.

Joining the mysterious Academic Palace also meant the chance to escape this cage.

"Now, the master of the Academic Palace has come to the Dark Pupil Domain to collect global affairs and compile ancient books. So, I came here with some fellow apprentices." Hong Mei continued, "Since it is not far from Yunxue City, I thought I’d come back for a visit."

Hong Mei looked at Zhao Yan with a complex gaze, tinted with some affection.

"Hey, you didn’t want to leave with me last time. Now that I’ve found the Academic Palace, would you like to join me... Oh right, if you’re worried about your master, we can bring him along too!" Hong Mei looked at Zhao Yan expectantly.

Initially, she had invited Zhao Yan to seek the Academic Palace with her, but he had declined.

"I..." Zhao Yan looked troubled, "My master’s temperament, he wouldn’t go to the Academic Palace.

My master raised me, and it wasn’t easy. I owe it to him to care for him in his old age!"

He always remembered his master’s kindness.

Moreover, now that his master had offended the Blood Tiger Gang, how could he abandon his master.

Hong Mei was a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

But wasn’t it precisely Zhao Yan’s character that she valued?

If Zhao Yan had been callous and unfeeling, she would not have fallen for him.

"It’s perfect that I’ll be staying here for a while. It’s no problem for me to stay here, right?" Hong Mei didn’t bring up the invitation to join the Academic Palace again.

After all, she wasn’t sure Zhao Yan could definitely join the Academic Palace.

"No problem!" Zhao Yan said enthusiastically.

"By the way, has anything interesting happened in Yunxue City lately? As you know, the master of the Academic Palace wants to document significant events and compile them into a book."

"It seems... not." Zhao Yan shook his head.

Their conflict with the Blood Tiger Gang was significant to them.

But from a historical perspective, it was an insignificant event.

"No worries, we’ll have plenty of time to chat," Hong Mei wasn’t concerned.

A reunion with an old friend was like rain after a long drought.

...

Amidst mountains and rivers.

A young girl followed behind a robed elder, her face showing confusion.

"Grandfather, has something major happened? It’s rare to see you so cheerful."

The elder’s face was full of age, his back hunched, like an old man weathered and ravaged by time.

Yet, he was the illustrious master of the Academic Palace.

"I am in the state of Returning to Mortality, and anyone who disturbs me will be dealt with like that beast!"

"Very good! Just this scene in the Kuijin Realm makes it all worthwhile!"

The master of the Academic Palace laughed heartily, a rare moment of joy he had not felt in a long time.

Hearing this, the young girl immediately accessed the information that had just been compiled. Moments later, her face revealed a moved expression.

"I never expected such a hero to emerge in enemy territory," the young girl mused.

To slay a Deceit God in enemy-occupied territory...

What did that signify?

It signified that the enemy would be relentless.

It signified becoming an enemy of the entire world!

The Deceit Gods of the Kuijin Realm would converge to jointly execute the killer.

Even if he escaped this calamity, Deceit Gods from other worlds would come after him, leaving no place to hide.

"Such a hero, I truly wish to meet him. I don’t want to... after the Divine Wood Universe is destroyed, for no one to know once there was a brilliant civilization in the Divine Wood Universe, and of the respectable heroes who fought bravely for it!"

The master of the Academic Palace’s book was to be titled "Outline of Realm History."

He feared that after the destruction of the Divine Wood Universe, no one would remember this great and dazzling universe.

Therefore, he traveled the world, measuring with his feet and recording with his pen, compiling the "Outline of Realm History."
