Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Return to Heavenly Book Academy!

The expedition to Tianyuan brought back tremendous gains.

Yet, the only truly usable things were the long spear in his hand, the Spiritual Fire, and the realm he had ascended to.

"The Foundation Establishment Stage is definitely not enough. Moreover, the commotion earlier didn’t attract Qing Qing. It seems she has left Tianyuan! She wouldn’t wander off by herself; she might go to the Heavenly Book Academy to inquire about me!"

Having previously visited the imperial city, Lu Chen knew that the Polar Treasure Meeting had been wiped out, and with this potential enemy gone, there were no burdens holding him back from returning to the Heavenly Book Academy.

And with the end of the Tianyuan event, regardless of the outcome, it was likely that the disciples sent by third-rate sects to the Heavenly Book Academy were no longer there.

From this, he could see that there would be no threats to him at the Heavenly Book Academy.

Moreover.

Lu Chen had someone he planned to look for.

Shang Qing!

As the son of the Shang family, he would have extensive connections and could totally gather information about the Immortal Sects in the ordinary world.

Being a Loose Cultivator was indeed convenient.

However, to accomplish certain things in the world of cultivation, one still needed the backing of a sect!

With this in mind, Lu Chen concealed his aura and entered the Heavenly Book Academy!

By then, his realm was entirely on a different level, and when he looked at the Heavenly Book Academy again, his expression was completely different.

"Stop right there, strangers are not allowed to trespass into the Heavenly Book Academy!"

At the entrance, two Marrow Refinement Realm martial artists stopped Lu Chen.

They couldn’t detect any hint of elemental energy on Lu Chen.

"Two teachers, I am... Chen Lu!"

Lu Chen let out a light chuckle, using his alias.

"Chen Lu? That name... sounds vaguely familiar."

One of them thought carefully and then suddenly said, "Are you the Chen Lu who killed Wu Chiren?"

Lu Chen nodded with a smile; after all, that incident had not occurred long before.

"So it’s you," said the other, "Why are you only returning to the academy now? What a pity, the Immortal Master has already left."

Lu Chen thought to himself that he hadn’t intended to meet with cultivators anyway.

These martial artists couldn’t see through him, but could cultivators not see through him?

"Also, why is there not a trace of elemental energy about you? Could it be that you met with an accident in Tianyuan?"

The guards were somewhat perplexed, and Lu Chen laughed, "Two teachers, when I joined the Heavenly Book Academy, my Dantian was already destroyed."

The two had an epiphany; the Heavenly Book Academy took in martial arts prodigies who had the chance to be selected by Immortal Sects.

Of course, that was their understanding, but Lu Chen knew that the existence of the Heavenly Book Academy itself was merely a scheme for personal gain by the dean and a group of Soul Refinement Realm martial artists.

But to him, it was no longer important.

"Two teachers, may I enter now?"

Lu Chen didn’t want to waste time there and took the initiative to ask.

"Of course, of course," one of the guards stepped aside, smiling, "But lately, there have been fewer teachers around in the academy, and things might be a bit chaotic. Do not cause trouble, lest you get hurt."

Lu Chen nodded, indicating he understood, and then made his way towards the inner courtyard.

He didn’t know where Shang Qing was.

But as long as he found Yu Qingqing, he could ask her for information.

Yu Qingqing was under the same master as him in Li Mingru’s sect.

However, in the end, Li Mingru died at his hands.

Now that Li Mingru, the martial artist of half a realm, was gone, Lu Chen didn’t know if Yu Qingqing, the Bone Refinement Realm martial artist, had been victimized in the Heavenly Book Academy!

Within the academy, there were two exceptional beauties, Yu Qingqing and Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian was chosen by the Hehuan Sect, and in Lu Chen’s view, it might have to do with her beauty and inherent nature.

Of course, to Lu Chen, Yu Qingqing was also of breathtaking beauty!

Not long after entering the inner courtyard, Lu Chen overheard several lewd laughs.

"Come on, Qing Qing, it’s been so long since anyone has seen your teacher, there’s no need to worry about being caught!"

"Hahaha, right, and what about your Brother Chen? Hehe, don’t you know? The academy dispatched quite a few martial artists who had been enduringly cultivating in the Visceral Refinement Realm!"

"Chen Lu is probably as good as dead! Moreover, the restrictions deep in Tianyuan have already been closed, so they will likely return before long!"

These voices carried over from a distance, filled with all sorts of mockery and raucous laughter.

Lu Chen’s face darkened like a cloud about to rain, for the Heavenly Book Academy of the past, though merely a tool for Xu Zhengde and the others, was never like this.

With a flash, he pushed the door open.

"Lu... Lu Chen? Run, don’t stay in the academy!"

Yu Qingqing spoke up, considering Lu Chen’s situation, which made him startle!

It was at this moment that several martial artists inside the room advanced toward Lu Chen with malicious expressions!
