A Scholar After Three Days

"Are you trying to make a good effect by deliberately sticking so many 'death flags' on yourself?"

After his initial complaint, Si Ming said seriously, "You must stay far away from the battles to come. I'm not allowing you to participate."

On the one hand, Yu Shuying's strength was insufficient. Even considering her recent rapid progress in Technique Method, she was only comparable to the Early Spirit Transformation. Participating in the upcoming battle would be too dangerous. On the other hand, it was also to help her gain recognition. Si Ming himself believed in these things. Better safe than sorry.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of holding you back, nor do I want to end my life here. The feeling of dual cultivation and spiritual communion is too wonderful; I haven't had enough yet!" Yu Shuying said with a smile. "I even specially called for help, but I don't know if they'll make it in time."

"She's hopeless; she's still thinking about being all lovey-dovey at a time like this."

Ying Zhou pursed his lips, calculated the time, and felt it was about time, so he began to put on the White Tiger Profound Armor that Yan Jinghong had brought along the way. At the same time, Murong Qing on the other side was putting on the Black Tortoise Profound Armor.

The Vermilion Bird Profound Armor was not brought, since with Si Ming's current strength, whether or not he wore Profound Armor was of little significance.

The medicine is ready.

Murong Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had prepared several extra medicinal herbs when refining the first Undying Brain Divine Gu, otherwise there definitely wouldn't have been enough time.

He was about to take it, but hesitated for a moment. He looked at everyone present. Senior Yan and Senior Ling had deep Foundation, Brother Ying and Sister Ying were protected Profound Armor Qingqing, and Sister Qingqing had Myriad Filth Tainted Blood. Their overall strength was the best. Only Brother Xia had nothing.

Moreover, after this battle, I will no longer need it, so taking it would be a waste...

Murong Wu secretly hid the medicine and walked towards Xia Guanxue.

Chapter 911 The Scholar Parts Three Times

The appointed time arrived, Yu Shuying placed a black box the size of a washbasin on the ground, cast Law Seals, and activated the law.

"Password?" the black box asked in an electronic voice.

"A wise person does not look in water as a mirror, but in people. Looking in water, one sees one's own appearance; looking in people, one knows good fortune and misfortune."

"Password approved, repair in progress."

The black box automatically disintegrated, unfolding layer by layer. Despite its total volume not exceeding a quarter of a cubic meter, it had somehow formed an altar.

Without anyone needing to cast spells or incantations, the altar automatically emitted a beam of light upwards, revealing the damaged remains of the Divine Pillar. After a scan, it recorded the locations of all the gaps, and then various materials flew out of the black box, actively landing at the gaps to fill and repair them.

"The technology of the Mohist School is truly the best in the world!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, Jun Yan, known as the "Chivalrous Confucian," looked up at the altar, which was automatically repairing itself without any human intervention, and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Mu Wu summoned his Cease War Spear and said solemnly, "If we can hold out for just one hour, we can repair the Divine Pillar and suppress the 'Barbarian King' back into the Eternal Barrier. We must not let the ritual be interrupted under any circumstances."

To maintain secrecy, Si Ming's side did not tell the Li State warriors the truth. After all, Yu Shuying suspected that the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor had planted spies, so there was no reason for them to leak the secret. Therefore, Mu Wu and the others truly believed that the purpose of their trip was to repair the Divine Pillar and prevent the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor from causing damage.

Of course, in terms of specific actions, there was no difference. Their mission was to hold back the subordinates of the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor. Therefore, even after the traitor was exposed, Yu Shuying did not reveal the truth to avoid wavering.

A moment later, five strange lights appeared in the sky, rushing towards the Divine Pillar like shooting stars.

"They came so fast!"

The red-faced man, Thousand Hooks, One Arrow Yang Lijing, unaware of the truth, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Such a rapid reaction speed... did they already know we were here?"

Clad in White Tiger Profound Armor Luo Tao said indignantly, "Not only does he not conceal his aura at all, but he even has his own entrance light screen! How arrogant!"

Xia Guanxue calmly said, "Only five people came, which means one of them went to Su State, wanting to gamble on a sneak attack."

Yu Shuying said, "They might be hiding in the shadows. After all, at this time, it's better to gather our forces and go all in than to disperse them. In short, you must be careful and not be careless, lest you fail in the end."

Si Ming urged, "I don't need your reminder, just leave now."

"Then I will await news of your triumphant return."

Yu Shuying bowed politely, then stepped back and disappeared into the darkness.

After watching the other person leave, Si Ming turned his head, looked up at the night sky, and said, "How can we show our hospitality if we don't take the initiative to greet our distinguished guests?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap exploded from the ground, and the golden sword dragon rose up, taking the initiative to meet the most powerful of the five meteors with imposing momentum.

"Fair-Weather Thunder Stirs, the Hibernating Dragon Rises!"

The other party was slightly surprised, then laughed and formed a hand Law Seals, creating a net of dense golden silk that enveloped the golden dragon.

The golden silkworm net was no match for the golden dragon's impact and was forced to plummet from the sky, crashing into a distant mountain peak with a deafening roar. After a brief moment of silence, an earth-shaking eruption followed, the violent force tearing half of the mountain apart, making it look from a distance like a large chunk of ice cream had been scooped out with a spoon.

Inside the hollowed-out mountain, Si Ming, sword in hand, pressed down on the Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor, and laughed, "Witch, are you satisfied with this greeting filled with your master's heart?"

"Ah, plenty of enthusiasm but lack of sincerity; it seems rather empty, like a lot of noise but little rain."

The Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor Master unleashed his power from his palm, his mighty True Qi crashing like waves against the shore, forcing Si Ming back. Then, he looked up at the distant pillar of light that seemed to pierce the heavens and the earth, and laughed, "It seems that repairing the Divine Pillar was just bait to lure me out. Yun Jinzang told me a false message."

"If you wait here for two hours, you'll find out if it's true or not."

The beam of light and the altar looked so real that even Mu Wu and the others who were observing them up close were convinced of their authenticity. Si Ming simply didn't believe that the other party could tell the difference between the real and fake from a distance.

"The more the Mohist say this, the more guilty they seem. What harm is there in waiting an hour?"

The Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor withdrew his hands and gathered his energy, seemingly indicating that he truly had no intention of making a move.

Si Ming knew that whoever struck first would be at a disadvantage, so he simply sheathed his sword and asked leisurely:

"There's something I'm curious about. Why would Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor insist on using the name of an 'Ancient Ancestor of Returning Antiquity'? Is it because you're truly afraid of being investigated? Or perhaps you possess some fatal weakness that you're trying to conceal?"

The Myriad Gu Witch Ancestor laughed heartily, "Once you find out about Bai Junlong creating the Eternal Barrier, it won't be difficult to trace back to discover my true identity. There's nothing to hide about this matter, but using the name of an 'Ancient Ancestor of Returning Antiquity' to commit evil and take the blame was a popular trend among us back then, so I just used it. Besides, if there are any 'seniors' in the Sea Continent who have lived as long as me, they will understand what's going on after hearing this and will take the initiative to contact me—unfortunately, they all seem to be gone."

"In other words, those self-proclaimed 'Ancient Ancestor of Returning Antiquity' may not actually be the 'Ancient Ancestor of Returning Antiquity' themselves?"
