Three days later, Jia Nan Academy, Heroes' Mausoleum.
There was drizzle in the gray sky, as if even God was mourning the funeral.
In the cemetery, rows of stone tablets stand coldly, each with the name of the deceased engraved on it, including a student, a mentor, and even an elder Outer Court.
In front of one of the newly erected stone monuments, Jiang Donghua stood quietly, with rain dripping down the tips of his hair, but he was completely unaware of it.
"Old Yan..."
Jiang Donghua whispered the name, and the figure of the burly man appeared in front of his eyes.
More than half a year ago, bandits were rampant along the way from Black Iron City to the Jia Nan Academy, and the desperadoes of Black Corner Region were even more unscrupulous.
At that time, Jiang Donghua and several of his companions, including Dou Zhe, had not even stepped in, and could only tremble when facing the robbers.
And Yan Feng, that Seven-star Great Dou Master, just grinned, clenched his fist, and Dou Qi exploded, beating those vicious guys to pieces with three punches and two kicks.
"Kids, if you enter Jia Nan Academy, don't embarrass me!"
"After you have studied hard for a few years with this kind of rubbish Dou Zhe, you will be able to blow one up with one punch like me."
That's what Yan Feng often says.
But now, not even the corpse is left. After all, it has exploded into blood mist and been replaced by "Blood Puppet" of the Blood Demon Sect. No one even knows the real time of death.
Jiang Donghua clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his palms.
"Blood Demon Sect!"
His voice was low, but he seemed to be suppressing some anger that was about to explode.
Jia Nan Academy Outer Court Square, tens of thousands of students gathered together, and the air was filled with depression and anger.
Many people's eyes were red, their fists were clenched, and their nails were dug into their palms.
Their mentors, senior brothers and sisters, and even close friends were all confirmed to be Blood Demon Sect's "Blood Puppet" overnight. They were either killed on the spot by Enforcement Team, or they blew themselves up into blood mist.
"Why?!"
A young man stood up suddenly, his voice hoarse, and his eyes burning with the flames of hatred.
"My master taught me for three years! He taught me Dou Technique, taught me alchemy, and even protected me when I made a breakthrough! How could he be Blood Demon Sect's puppet?!"
The question was like a spark that instantly ignited the crowd's anger.
"Yes! How can Blood Demon Sect be so presumptuous in the Jia Nan Academy?!"
"My senior sister is obviously so gentle, how could she be Blood Puppet?!"
"Blood Demon Sect...Blood Demon Sect damn!!!"
The angry voices grew louder and louder, and some people even pulled out their weapons, with murderous intent boiling in their eyes, wanting to immediately kill Blood Demon Sect for revenge.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, a bolt of lightning crashed onto the high platform.
"Shut up, everyone!!!"
Lei Tian's roar was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums hurt, and they fell silent instantly.
He stood in the center of the high platform, rarely showing his usual impatience, but looking at everyone with a cold gaze.
"Angry? I am more angry than you!"
He waved his hand suddenly, and a bolt of lightning struck the ground, exploding a black crack.
"But you think Blood Demon Sect would be stupid enough to send a Seven-star Battle King and dare to declare war on the Jia Nan Academy?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Lei Tian sneered and continued.
"Then Blood Demon Sect has a strong man of Peak Dou Zong level. Even if the ancestor of the family behind you comes out, he may not be able to get any benefits."
"It's not confirmed that the old guy in the Blood Demon Sect sent him here."
"And based on your strength, you can't even kill Blood Demon Sect, an elder-level expert!"
Lei Tian took a deep breath and unusually slowed down his tone.
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but don't let your anger get to your head!"
"Blood Demon Sect dares to play like this, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it! If you rush out to take revenge now, you will only die in vain!"
His eyes were like lightning, scanning everyone.
"Want to take revenge? Yes! But first make me stronger!"
"When you have the strength to break into the Blood Demon Sect's lair and twist off Old Ghost Blood Demon's head, I will take you there myself!"
The whole place was silent.
The students in the square were silent and left one by one.
They gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and swallowed the anger that had nowhere to vent.
Some people sobbed softly, and some had cold eyes, but in the end, everyone just turned around silently and walked towards their respective cultivation places.
Become stronger and take revenge!
This is the only choice they have.
Jiang Donghua stood there, looking at the crowd that was gradually dispersing, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Yan Feng, the mentor who always had a straight face but would give him guidance at critical moments, died like this?
"You are the second person in this world who is kind to me..."
Who is the first?
Maybe it's a memory that has long been blurred, or maybe it's a figure that will never be seen again.
That senior sister...
"Just die like that?"
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"When my cultivation level improves, I will avenge you, Lao Yan."
"At least kill a Blood Demon Sect elder-level guy to pay homage to your spirit in heaven!"
He silently made an oath in his heart, then calmed down his emotions and turned his eyes to the two people beside him.
"Liu Mingyu, Liu Yuting?"
Jiang Donghua was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He hadn't seen these siblings for more than half a year.
Liu Mingyu, Battle Qi Stage Nine, with a slender figure and a hint of calmness between his brows.
Liu Yuting, Battle Qi Stage Eight, there is a bit of stubbornness on the delicate face, but the eyes are much more determined than half a year ago.
"Brother Donghua!"
Liu Yuting's eyes lit up and he stepped forward quickly.
Liu Mingyu also nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Long time no see."
Jiang Donghua looked them over and smiled.
"You two have made great progress."
Liu Mingyu smiled bitterly.
"Compared to you, it's far worse."
Jiang Donghua is now in the realm of Dou Shi.
However, their brother and sister are still stuck on the threshold of Dou Qi, unable to break through.
"Maybe within a month or two, I will be able to step into Dou Zhe."
There was no boasting or deliberate humility in his tone, he simply stated the facts.
Jiang Donghua raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes stayed on Liu Mingyu for a moment.
"Oh? It seems that you haven't been idle in the past six months."
Liu Mingyu smiled lightly and said.
"We, brother and sister, still have to thank Brother Jiang."
"In the past half month, we have benefited a lot from Brother Jiang's help."
It refers to the influence of Jiang Donghua in the academy. Ever since Jiang Donghua rose to prominence in front of Enforcement Team and Elder Mo Xuan, many students who originally looked down upon their siblings have become much more polite.
Even some of the cultivation resources that were originally withheld were reallocated to them.
Many students from remote areas will have their things taken away by the corpse brothers above as long as they have not stepped into Dou Zhe.
But when those senior brothers heard that these two Liu siblings and Alchemy Department had some connections with Jiang Donghua, who was suddenly in the limelight.
Liu Yuting also nodded, with gratitude in his eyes, but he quickly said firmly.
"Brother Jiang, you have helped us a lot. Next, we want to rely on ourselves."
The voice was very soft, but there was a hint of stubbornness.
Jiang Donghua looked at them and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, since you said so, I won't mind your own business."
He patted Liu Mingyu on the shoulder and said.
"However, if you really encounter trouble that cannot be solved, remember to come to me."
"I basically stay at the Alchemy Department. If you can't find me, just look for my master Mo Xuan."
"You can be regarded as the first friends I made from Black Iron City to the Jia Nan Academy!"
Liu Mingyu nodded and said solemnly.
"Definitely."
The three of them chatted briefly for a few more words, and then parted ways.
Jiang Donghua looked at Liu siblings's leaving figure and sighed slightly in his heart.
"These brothers and sisters are much calmer than they were half a year ago."
