Chapter 67: The Sage's Letter

  Chen Jiu and Chao Xiao Yu were whispering to each other on one side, while the big formation on the other side underwent a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change.

  A tiny crack gradually appeared on the stone pagoda, and then the crack expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just one breath, it had spread all over the stone pagoda.

  The old man's eyes lit up: "The Great Sage is coming out, let's hurry up and kneel down to welcome him."

  After finishing speaking, the five monsters knelt down on the ground: "We respectfully welcome the arrival of the Great Sage, congratulate the Great Sage for escaping from prison, and unify all heavens for thousands of years."

  "Hahaha" Amidst the loud laughter, the stone pagoda shook violently for a moment, and then smoke and dust filled the air, countless broken stones shot out in all directions, and the entire grand formation was instantly riddled with holes.

  "I've finally emerged, I've finally come out! Qingyang Academy, I will thoroughly flatten you to the ground!"

  Six little monsters carefully lifted their heads, and what entered their field of vision was not some kind of monster, but a thin man.

  A thick and intense aura of evil energy burst forth from the man's body, causing the entire Qingyang Academy to fluctuate with waves of righteous energy.

  Looking at the bright light in Hanzi's eyes, the five people quickly lowered their heads: "We congratulate the Great Sage on his escape."

  A lean man gazed at the endless blue sky, and the stars in the deep night shone exceptionally brightly: "Having been trapped for so many years, today thanks to you all, I finally have a day of escape. In a moment, follow me to kill out, wait until I slaughter this Qingyang Academy, and then fly with you in the blue sky, go to an even more vast place."

  After finishing speaking, without waiting for the monsters to respond, he suddenly struck the large array with a single blow. The originally fragile array was completely reduced to dust and lost its effectiveness.

  "Who would have thought that after all these years, it was only when it fell into my hands that trouble arose." Li Hui said, looking at the figure in the smoke, his hand tightening on the scroll.

  "Haha, look at the majestic aura bursting from your body, obviously another generation of great Confucian scholars. I wonder which new great scholar you are from Qingyang Academy?" The strange laughter made everyone's ears tremble with pain.

  "I am Li Hui, one of the great Confucian scholars of Qingyang Academy."

  "Hahaha, it's been so many years since we last met, I didn't think your powers had all increased. Today, I will slaughter the Qingyang Academy and only then can I lift the seal of my thousand-year suffering." The thin old man said with a ferocious expression, a bloody aura rushing towards them.

  Li Hui shook his head: "Yao Sheng, your strength has been worn down by a thousand cuts. You should have an idea of how much in your heart, no need to say anything boastful, whether you can leave here today is still uncertain".

  "Alright, alright, the Qingyang Academy has always produced talented individuals. In the past, your seniors didn't dare speak to me like this. Today, I'll see what kind of foundation you have for speaking to me in such a manner." The Demon Saint said after finishing his sentence, he turned to the six demons behind him and ordered: "You six go ask them for guidance, then take advantage of the chaos to kill your way out."

  The old Sixth heard the words and said unclearly: "Great Sage, what does this mean?"

  The Great Sage glanced at the Confucian scholars opposite him and said calmly, "This thousand-year-old seal has greatly reduced my magical powers. I didn't expect that after all these years, the Qingyang Academy's strength has increased so much. You'd better grasp it well, I'll try to create an opportunity for you later."

  Li Hui looked at the six demons and sneered: "Do you dare to come out and seek death?"

  "This is it."

  Facing a generation of great Confucians, the monsters hesitated again. The power of the great Confucians is undeniable, and looking at themselves, all five of them seem to be going to deliver vegetables.

  Li Hui ignored the hesitation of the six demons and instead looked at the Demon Saint, placing the letter in his hand gently on his chest: "Do you know what this is?"

  Looking at the ordinary handwriting, the Demon Saint hesitated and said: "Isn't it just a piece of handwriting? What's the big deal about it? Unless it's the handwriting of a saint, otherwise all handwritings are not taken seriously by me."

  Seeing Li Hui's face with a playful smile, the Demon Saint's expression changed: "Could this be the real handwriting of the Sage?"

  Li Hui's mouth slightly curved: "You should know the depth of our Qingyang Academy, a thousand years ago in order to seal you this demon, our Qingyang Academy suffered heavy losses, predecessors were afraid that you would come out again and make trouble, specially borrowed from other academies a saint's handwriting".

  The Great Sage looked at Li Hui with a surprised and uncertain expression, then said: "Although the saint's handwriting is powerful, tens of thousands of years have passed since then. The saint has long disappeared in the river of history, let alone the saint's handwriting. Can it withstand the erosion of time? I'd like to see how much of its original power remains after tens of thousands of years."

  Li Hui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Jiu: "Alright, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come. Giving you this old letter is also good."

  After finishing speaking, Li Hui opened his hand without hesitation, and a mighty force instantly tore through the sky, covering the entire Qingzhou Prefecture with an aura of majesty once again.

  The Yinsi judge saw the majestic and righteous aura rising from within the city, and said "Not good", just as he was about to order his subordinates to be on guard, but unfortunately it was too late. Countless Yin soldiers were reduced to ashes, and the judge suffered heavy injuries.

  Looking at the big and small cats behind him, Judge Bao is now crying without tears. The accumulated foundation of countless years has all been lost.

  Feeling something was amiss, the judge of the underworld who was just about to return to the land of darkness suddenly stumbled after being struck by a beam of Buddhist light. Following that, he heard a chant in his ear: "Amitabha Buddha".

  The air was thick with the scent of incense, and her eyes were closed as if she couldn't open them. The wind was gentle and the clouds were light, but after everything had dispersed, the demon saint's face was deathly pale as she protected the six demons behind her.

  After a while, the Demon Saint's expression improved somewhat, and he slowly said: "I really didn't expect it, the saint's manuscript that has been tempered by the endless river of time almost took my old life, but fortunately, I have withstood this wave of attacks. Although I was sealed for thousands of years and lost a lot of my original energy, I want to see how many more sacred manuscripts you have."

  Look at the Confucian scholars opposite, although the demon saint had just suffered a severe blow, his spiritual power and will were not reduced in the slightest, and after withstanding this attack, his fighting spirit became even more intense.

  "The Great Sage, it's our fault for being incompetent, causing you to suffer for the sake of us six useless things."

  "Great Holy Ancestor, it's our incompetence that has caused you to forcibly resist the attack of the Sacred Dao Chapter for us."

  "We are useless, please grandfather abandon us and escape alone."

  "Yes, we don't dare to drag Grandpa behind."

  That young man's face suddenly darkened: "You dare to shut me up".

  Watching the Great Sage get really angry, several monsters obediently shut their mouths and didn't dare say another word.

  "The Great Sage slowly calmed down and said, 'If it weren't for you few who risked your lives to save me, I might have been forever suppressed by these detestable Confucians here, until all my primordial energy was ground away, thoroughly beaten back into my original form. You treat me like this, how can I abandon you?'"

  "Grandpa!" The few monsters cried out in unison.

  "Alright, alright, just a few sour scholars. The sacred scriptures are mine to command, how can these Confucian students be any match for me? Watch as I lead you all in breaking through this siege."

  "Speaking of which, the Great Sage looked at Li Hui with a faint smile: 'Acid scholar, do you still have any sacred chapters? If not, I'm afraid I'll really leave. Although my vitality has been worn out and I've suffered heavy losses from the Sacred Dao manuscript, you're still no match for me.'"

  Li Hui did not respond, but instead looked at Chen Jiu with his eyes. The other Confucian scholars also turned their gaze to Chen Jiu.

  Chen Ji shook his head: "Director, what are you looking at me like this for?"

  "Chen Jiu, you are the saint of this era. This sacred manuscript is rare for others, but who knows, you might get it again in the future. The seal of the academy has been broken, and as a member of the academy, you will have to make an effort."

  Without waiting for Chen Jiu to refute, Li Hui said: "You can write sacred chapters, but your realm is always insufficient. How about this? As long as you lend me the manuscript of the Sacred Way today, all the books in my academy will be manuscripts by great Confucians for you to study, how's that?"

  On the other side, Zhao Xiao Yu looked at Chen Jiu and nodded slightly, whispering: "This is absolutely worth it. You will definitely write more masterpieces like this in the future. Using a manuscript that can be taken or left to exchange for the book collection of the academy will undoubtedly allow you to rapidly improve your realm, increase your depth, and besides, if you agree to this today, Qingyang Academy will become your strongest backing in the future."

  "What? Are you telling me that you still have a manuscript?" The Great Sage asked in astonishment, looking at the several people opposite him.
