Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 894: Chapter 894: The Opening Ceremony

Feng Yanran was beginning to understand Ling Xiao now, as he was someone who never shied away from challenges—the more difficult the task, the more vigor he seemed to bring to it.

”Hahaha, it’s good that Miss Yan Ran understands. Where is the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda located?”

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

”It’s easy to find. Just stand somewhere high and look around, and you’ll see it.”

Feng Yanran pointed towards the distance.

Ling Xiao leaped dozens of meters into the air and looked far into the distance, indeed seeing a majestic tower soaring among the clouds.

This was completely different from the Moon Blossom Pagoda, which wasn’t used for cultivation, while the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda was specifically for that purpose, containing many cultivation rooms. The higher one went, the better the cultivation effect.

Countless martial artists from the Divine Phoenix Continent longed to enter and cultivate there, but the true qualifications were only held by the disciples of Phoenix God College and Qingxu College.

However, there was a problem—if you wanted to cultivate there, you needed a certain level of ability, else you would be directly driven out.

Especially since the relationship between the Divine Phoenix Continent and Qingxu College wasn’t that good, they were always in competition, and the two colleges often disputed over the cultivation rooms.

Ling Xiao would really have to think it through if he wanted to enter.

”What’s that?”

Suddenly, Ling Xiao’s gaze shifted and noticed a courtyard near Phoenix God College bustling with activity, prompting him to turn back and ask Feng Yanran.

”That’s the newly established Divine Phoenix Medical College!”

Feng Yanran replied, ”Originally, Phoenix God College was already stronger than our Qingxu College in medical treatment and alchemy. This time, they’ve even poached Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang from the Heavenly Dragon Continent, greatly increasing their advantage. To completely drive Qingxu College out of the pill market, they’ve established this separate Divine Phoenix Medical College.”

”Just established?”

Ling Xiao inquired.

”To be exact, it hasn’t been established yet because the founding ceremony is tomorrow. Many prominent figures will go to offer their congratulations then, and although we at Qingxu College are not happy about it, we still have to send representatives to congratulate them.”

Feng Yanran sighed.

”I’ll go take a look tomorrow too.”

Ling Xiao had no good feelings towards Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang, but he didn’t plan to openly become enemies with him so soon. It would be better to go in disguise.

”Of course, there shouldn’t be a shortage of people going to watch the excitement tomorrow. Besides the founding of the Divine Phoenix Medical College, they should also hold an opening ceremony for the new term. All the new students should be appearing.”

Feng Yanran nodded.

She had no idea of the enmity between Ling Xiao and Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang; if she did, she probably wouldn’t have suggested Ling Xiao attend.

The next morning, as expected, many students from Qingxu College went to watch the excitement at Phoenix God College, including some of the college’s teachers.

Ling Xiao was no exception.

However, he didn’t inform Ji Mingkong and the others, instead going alone, mainly fearing that he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from doing something rash, which would make it harder to escape with those people.

It had to be said that the location of Phoenix God College was much better than that of Qingxu College.

Qingxu College’s location couldn’t even be considered a suburban area of the Imperial City; it was simply amongst the countryside.

Phoenix God College, on the other hand, was located at the center of the Imperial City, right across from the Imperial Palace.

Today, the Imperial City was still bustling with people and busy with traffic, but it was obviously much livelier than the day before.

Many people had made their way to the Divine Phoenix Grand Square, where the previous day’s recruitment was held, thronging the place so densely that it looked endless at a glance.

In fact, the news of the founding of the Divine Phoenix Medical College had already spread throughout the Divine Phoenix Continent, with many martial artists hastening here, some coming early and others just arriving, all having calculated the right day to do so.

Due to the events that occurred in the Heavenly Dragon Continent, with the Sacred Dynasty nearly annihilated, many of the martial artists on the Divine Phoenix Continent began to worry about the security of their own land.

It is said that at the opening ceremony of the Phoenix God College, a major announcement related to the True Demon Empire will be made.

Many people have rushed here not just to join in on the spectacle or offer their congratulations, but to gain some definite information.

”The rise and fall of an empire is every man’s responsibility!”

Especially for martial artists, their sense of responsibility in this area is very strong.

On such a lively day, if there weren’t some sort of incident, it would truly be somewhat inconceivable.

”The establishment of the Divine Phoenix Medical College and the opening ceremony of the college may not end so peacefully,” a person wearing a fierce ghost mask whispered with a faint smile in the crowd.

The person wearing the mask was naturally Ling Xiao.

He didn’t have anyone else by his side, but to his surprise, Feng Yanran had actually arrived at the scene with Ji Mingkong and others.

Fortunately, he was in disguise, and they had not recognized him.

Of course, it was also possible that they did recognize him but chose not to approach him.

After all, Ling Xiao wore a ghost mask precisely because he didn’t want to be recognized.

If they had gathered around him, even a fool would know the man in the mask was Ling Xiao.

Today’s weather was somewhat gloomy, as if even the heavens were displeased with Sun Shang’s betrayal.

However, even if the weather was overcast, the atmosphere at the site was still electric.

”That must be the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord!” suddenly, someone shouted, and immediately countless eyes turned towards the platform.

Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang, along with the many newcomers following him, were all wearing the Phoenix God College’s uniform embroidered with the phoenix pattern.

They looked powerful and imposing.

Mo Wu Shang, Qin Bi Xue, Bai Qianjiao, Hong Li, and others were all among them.

”There’s even Demonflame Celestial!”

Ling Xiao’s pupils suddenly constricted as he saw the Demonflame Celestial dressed in the Phoenix God College teacher’s garb at the forefront of the procession.

”His cultivation level has actually reached such a degree!”

What surprised him even more was that today, Demonflame Celestial’s cultivation had already broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm. Although he had only just entered the realm, his aura was entirely different from that of the martial artists in the Heavenly Man Realm.

”Good! Very good! You truly are the most outstanding genius of the Moon Hua Sect, second only to me. It’s also good, otherwise killing you easily wouldn’t be so thrilling!” Ling Xiao took a deep breath, staring at Demonflame Celestial, his face hidden from others, showing an excited smile.

Everyone on the high platform was brimming with confidence and pride.

Being able to join the most outstanding college on the Divine Phoenix Continent and become a part of it was an immense honor in itself.

Basking in the envious and jealous looks from countless people, they held their heads high, like proud roosters.

”Ming Kong, keep calm!”

Just as Ling Xiao was scrutinizing a few familiar faces, Ji Mingkong below the platform was already finding it hard to contain herself.

Luckily, Feng Yanran and others were beside her to hold her back; otherwise, she would have definitely taken action.

After all, Ling Xiao could hate the Sacred Dynasty, but Mo Wu Shang, Dao Wuming, Sun Shang—these people were nurtured by the Sacred Dynasty with countless efforts.

They had no right to betray the Sacred Dynasty.

Seeing those triumphant faces of the few people, Ji Mingkong felt an uncontrollable anger boiling inside her.
