Vol. 1 - Ch. 80 - Consider Me as His Mother

In the principal's office of Nanli Academy in Nanli City, a composed middle-aged man was sitting in front of his desk with his hands crossed and a solemn expression.

He was the principal of Nanli Academy, Xia Guo.

In front of Xia Guo stood a pretty woman.

The woman looked equally solemn. She was here to report to Xia Guo about the latest situation in Nanli City.

“Mr. Xia, the leader of the Sacred Lotus Sect, Song Yan, is in the city. Accompanying her are two envoys and over one hundred members! All of them are elite members of the sect! I have intel that the Jiang family has enlisted the help of Song Yan to kill the Qi family and Luo Ruying!”

Xia Guo frowned hard.

What had to come had to come.

When he heard about the Qi family winning the competition, he was both delighted and worried.

He was pleased that the Jiang family lost control of the commercial establishments in Nanli City and could no longer get away with monopolizing resources and doing as they pleased.

But he was worried because the Jiang family had the support of the Sacred Lotus Sect. The moment the sect was informed, the Qi family and the woman who had fought on their behalf would find themselves in grave danger!

The Qi family's recent actions of selling the Immortality Pill really struck the Jiang family where it hurt the most, cornering them.

He foresaw that it was just a matter of time until the Jiang family engaged the help of the Sacred Lotus Sect.

However, he did not expect it to come so soon.

Also, it happened to be the holidays.

It was the last thing he wanted to see.

From the looks of it, it was going to be a turbulent night.

The Sacred Lotus Sect would never let the Qi family and that family go.

It was the academy's duty to uphold order in Nanli City. As the principal, he could not stand by and see the two families get wiped out!

But he was no match for Song Yan. The moment he chose to interfere, he would place the academy in grave danger.

However, he could not turn a blind eye!

Nanli Academy was established in the city to groom talents for the cultivation world. In addition, it had the duty to protect the city.

If he did nothing to stop the Sacred Lotus Sect and let them get away with such actions, there was no need for Nanli Academy to exist!

“Lin Ya, summon everyone! Tell them to head to the Qi residence and that woman's place to protect them! I will personally talk to Song Yan,” Xia Guo said after contemplating briefly.

If Han Guangzhi from the Treasure Merchant Alliance were still in the city, he could enlist his help to deal with Song Yan.

However, the Jiang family clearly chose to take action after Han Guangzhi left Nanli City.

It would be difficult for him to fight Song Yan single-handedly, so he could only do his utmost to negotiate.

Otherwise, once he and Song Yan started fighting, it would inevitably affect the citizens.

"Yes! I will gather everyone right away! Please be careful out there, Mr. Xia! I heard that the leader of the Sacred Lotus Sect is at the Divine Being realm!” Lin Ya nodded and left to make personnel arrangements.

If they did not get there in time, the Qi family and the other family might not make it past the night!

…

In the sky at night, Song Yan personally led a group of the Sacred Lotus Sect members and flew to Luo Ruying's location, as reported by her subordinates.

A cold, lofty silhouette was already quietly waiting in the sky for them.

It was none other than Yue Qingyou calmly waiting for Song Yan and her group.

Song Yan stopped and looked at Yue Qingyou with a frown.

She could not see through this woman!

Was she from Nanli Academy?

Before beginning the operation, Song Yan had anticipated that the most likely group to stop her was Nanli Academy.

The principal of Nanli Academy was Xia Guo. He was also at the Divine Being Realm and a force to be reckoned with.

She had never heard of this woman appearing in Nanli Academy.

“Who are you?” Song Yan asked coldly.

“Are you the mastermind? Are those people in the city yours?” Yue Qingyou asked glacially, ignoring Song Yan’s question entirely.

Song Yan smiled in disdain and admitted candidly. “That's right! I am the leader of the Sacred Lotus Sect, and those people are mine.”

“Oh really?” A cool glint flashed in Yue Qingyou's eyes.

She raised a beautiful hand and said lightly, “Explode.”

“Huh?” A confused look appeared on Song Yan’s face. She did not understand what Yue Qingyou was trying to do.

But a split second later, she could hear peculiar noises coming from her people behind her.

Song Yan turned to check, and a look of terror instantly appeared on her face.

The people behind her suddenly swelled up violently, looking like large balls!

Their faces were contorted from agony as they struggled to reach out their hands to Song Yan and begged. “S-Sect Leader, save us…”

The moment they finished their words, dozens of them instantly exploded like balloons!

Blood and broken pieces of bodies bloomed like fireworks!

“Huh?” Song Yan stood motionlessly in shock. She looked at Yue Qingyou in disbelief.

This time, there was no arrogance in her eyes. All that remained was pure horror!

Song Yan pointed at Yue Qingyou and asked hysterically, “W-what did you do to them?”

She did not even see Yue Qingyou make any spellcasting movements. Neither did she see her use any spiritual energy.

With just one word, Yue Qingyou had been able to make the sect's elites explode!

In the 300 years since she had cultivated, she had never seen the likes of this!

Meng Niu, Qiang Se, and Bai Yuan caught up to Yue Qingyou. They were just in time to witness bodies exploding, and their faces instantly turned pale.

Despite constantly fighting for survival in the Monster Domain Forest, they had never seen such a bloody and explosive scene.

Yue Qingyou gradually walked toward Song Yan in the air.

Although her steps and posture were dignified and elegant, Song Yan did not detect any spiritual energy from her. However, Song Yan felt immense pressure coming from her.

“You don’t want to mess with me! I am the leader of the Sacred Lotus Sect, Song Yan!” Song Yan said in fury as she made hand seals.

Yue Qingyou simply said nonchalantly, “Contort.”

In an instant, Song Yan’s arms contorted and rotated until the crisp sound of bones breaking rang out!

Her bones were even exposed!

Meng Niu and the other two frowned. Just looking at her, they could intensely sense her pain.

“AHHHH!”

The excruciating pain left Song Yan’s face equally contorted. All that remained on her face was fear! Tears kept cascading down her face as she asked Yue Qingyou, “Who are you?!”

Yue Qingyou came in front of Song Yan and answered her question. “I am just a servant of my master, but you can consider me his mother as well.“
