Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Senior Sister, Let’s Battle to the Death

Watching Zhan Qingyun leave directly, the group had various expressions on their faces.

Clearly, no one had expected Zhan Qingyun to be so straightforward.

He openly sided with Yu Heng and his group.

This seemed somewhat uncharacteristic of Zhan Qingyun.

After all, Zhan Qingyun’s demeanor had always been rather ambiguous and wavering.

He was neither too close with those from the Royal City Clan nor did he frequently fraternize with people from the Holy Land.

It appeared Zhan Qingyun wanted to maintain a certain balance, but today, this guy brazenly leaned towards Yu Heng.

And leaning towards Yu Heng was tantamount to siding with Xuanyuan Tomb.

"Gentlemen, you all heard what Zhan Qingyun just said, right? I think it’s also time to replace the Dean."

"Agreed!"

"What business does the Dean of our Royal City’s First Academy have hanging around with a group from the Holy Land? He must be replaced."

"Let’s decide in a meeting of the Ten Elders tomorrow."

"Good!"

After the negotiations, the group quickly left, leaving Zhai He’s courtyard as well as the First Academy.

Each of them backed by the Royal City Clan, such matters always required consulting back at their clan first.

...

Outside the student dorm area, Lu Xiao just reached the entrance when he came across Yu Heng.

Yu Heng was leaning under a tree, holding a dark red umbrella.

"Senior Sister is so poetic, venturing out to enjoy the scenery in the middle of the night!" Lu Xiao waved his hand towards Yu Heng.

"Not as high-spirited as Junior Brother, going out to slay a Demi Immortal in the dead of night," Yu Heng’s mouth curled up.

"Senior Sister, what are you saying? How could a lowly Transcendent Realm scrub like me kill a Demi Immortal," Lu Xiao immediately denied.

Yu Heng scoffed, "Alright, Lu Xiao, enough with the act. Calling yourself Transcendent Realm—you really have some nerve. I saw everything that happened in Zhai He’s courtyard. Would he have survived if he hadn’t deliberately succumbed to Demon Possession?"

Lu Xiao sneered. Hmph, what a peeping tom.

"Did Senior Sister wait here specifically for me?" Lu Xiao skipped over the subject entirely.

"What else?"

"Then what does Senior Sister need?"

"Tell me how to get out of here, and after that, you’re free to do as you please."

"I really don’t know, we’d have to ask our master."

"Master might not be in the Divine Continent Realm."

"Then we wait for Master to return, eh? I truly have no way, Senior Sister, even if you beat me to death it won’t help."

"Then I’ll beat you to death!" Yu Heng’s tone suddenly turned ice-cold, emitting an aura both sharp and terrifying.

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes. What was Yu Heng ranting about now!

"In the end, killing you would merely be ridding the Divine Continent Realm of an anomaly, cleaning house for Xuanyuan Tomb. If it became known that Xuanyuan Panshi’s disciple isn’t afraid of Red Eyes and can even wield their power, do you think Xuanyuan Tomb would still be considered Holy Land?"

Yu Heng’s words jolted Lu Xiao. Damn it, this crazy woman guessed it.

"Whatever," Lu Xiao smirked, his face unconcerned.

Whether Xuanyuan Tomb remains a Holy Land has nothing to do with me. I’m not from Xuanyuan Tomb; I’m merely Xuanyuan Panshi’s disciple, that’s all."

Lu Xiao could only say this now, showing more concern would only make it easier for Yu Heng to manipulate him.

"But Senior Sister, if Xuanyuan Tomb were to be disgraced, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to stay in the Royal City either, right?"

"Senior Sister, how about we go wander the world together?"

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Yu Heng’s face grew darker. Why was this kid so difficult to deal with!

"So annoying. Do whatever you want," Yu Heng said and turned to leave.

Watching Yu Heng’s retreating figure, Lu Xiao’s brows slightly furrowed. His power was still not enough.

Especially during the daytime, it was far too weak.

He had to improve as soon as possible.

He could sense that Yu Heng’s patience was wearing thin. Who knew when she would lose it and make a move on him.

If she attacked at night, he could hold her off, but during the day, that would be trouble.

"Senior Sister!" Lu Xiao suddenly called out to Yu Heng.

"Speak!"

"How about we settle this with a life and death duel? You’re kind of annoying, and I feel like killing you right now," said Lu Xiao, as a faint red light emanated from his body.

Thirty meters away, Yu Heng was startled, especially by the palpable killing intent from Lu Xiao, giving her a sensation of alarm and trepidation.
