Killing People!

Ye Ziyun was agitated. She took out the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art that Nie Li had given her. The value of this cultivation technique was absolutely unimaginable. How could Nie Li bear to give her such a precious technique?

Anger and gratitude intertwined in her heart, making Ye Ziyun unable to calm down.

After a long while, Ye Ziyun finally suppressed the shame and indignation in her heart and focused on cultivating the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art. Her mind gradually calmed, and her Soul Sea seemed to form a light layer of frost, as a clear power circulated within her body.

Ye Ziyun's skin took on a crystal-clear jade luster, much more beautiful than before, as if a celestial maiden had descended from the heavens.

As her Soul Power continuously increased, the impurities within Ye Ziyun's body were expelled. Her body was covered in sweat, and a cyan light suddenly bloomed, like a giant cyan lotus.

Ye Ziyun suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful pupils as pure as gemstones. The power of the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art far exceeded her imagination. She had already been close to Bronze 1-star, and after cultivating the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art, she directly broke through the advancement barrier and reached the Bronze 1-star level.

Feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over, Ye Ziyun quickly asked a maid to heat water.

The petals in the bathtub emitted a fragrance. Ye Ziyun slowly took off her silk skirt, revealing her curvaceous figure. Her fair and delicate skin was as crystal-clear as carved jade. After cultivating the Nine Revolutions Ice Phoenix Art, Ye Ziyun became even more beautiful and alluring. Although she hadn't reached the prime of her womanhood, she had already developed very well.

Her delicate ankles slowly stepped into the petals. Feeling the hot water cleansing the dirt from her body, the petals left an alluring fragrance on her skin. Ye Ziyun couldn't help but let her thoughts wander. Her slender jade fingers slowly caressed her smooth skin. Seeing the exquisite butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left chest, a trace of strangeness resurfaced in her heart.

This butterfly-shaped birthmark had been there since she was born. She slowly traced it. Although she hadn't reached the most vibrant age for a girl, her slightly developed peaks were already very captivating.

Had Nie Li really seen her birthmark?

Ye Ziyun felt her heart tremble. If Nie Li had seen it, wouldn't that mean Nie Li had seen her completely naked?

Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside.

"Who? Who's peeking?" Ye Ziyun quickly covered her chest with both hands, a hint of shame and anger flashing across her face. That scoundrel Nie Li!

"Miss, it's me!" A beautiful maid walked out from behind the hanging curtain.

It turned out to be the maid Xiao Die. Ye Ziyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks slightly flushed. Nie Li hadn't even reached Bronze level, so how could he have infiltrated the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion? She was overthinking it! How exactly had Nie Li seen her birthmark?

The night passed without incident.

The next day, at the Secret Treasure Pavilion.

This was a large shop specializing in selling various armors, weapons, and inscription scrolls, located a few hundred meters from the entrance of Sacred Lan Academy.

"Boss, I want this Bronze Raging Flame Set and this Raging Flame Sword!" Nie Li pointed at some of the Bronze Armor and Bronze Weapons.

"This Raging Flame Set has a total of four pieces: armor, gauntlets, leg guards, and boots. The price is five hundred thousand Spirit Coins. This Raging Flame Sword costs two hundred thousand Spirit Coins. Both are peak creations of the Bronze level, made from the scales of Raging Flame Demonic Beasts. Bronze demonic beasts won't be able to break through them, and even Silver demonic beasts would need a lot of effort to break this armor. Young master, are you sure you want to buy them?" the boss asked, sizing up Nie Li.

"Of course, am I joking with you?" Nie Li threw over a bag. "There are seventy Demon Crystal Cards worth ten thousand each inside."

"Alright, I'll pack them for you right away, young master!" The boss's face broke into a wide smile.

"I also want this set of armor, and these inscription scrolls. I want them all, pack them all for me. And this, this, this..." After selling a large amount of Purple Mist Grass, Nie Li had an astonishing amount of money on hand, making purchasing these items effortless.

Nie Li didn't know which super-family's young master he was, but he was so generous. His sales for one day were equivalent to several months of normal sales. The boss of the Secret Treasure Pavilion was so happy his teeth were about to fall out.

Nie Li bought a Spatial Ring about five to six cubic meters in size and put all these items into it. As for the Raging Flame Set, he wore it directly. The Raging Flame Set was very light and couldn't be seen at all when worn under clothes.

"I'll go to the classroom today and return the money to Xiao Ninger!" Nie Li thought for a moment and walked towards the academy.

As he reached a corner of Sacred Lan Academy, several people suddenly appeared in front of Nie Li.

"Kid, we finally caught you!" Shen Yue sneered as he looked at Nie Li. The six followers behind him leered at Nie Li with unfriendly eyes.

Nie Li had already known that Shen Yue's men were following him. He had deliberately walked to this secluded place to wait for Shen Yue and the others to corner him. A faint smile flickered across his lips. Let's see how I play with you all!

"What do you want?" Nie Li pretended to be terrified.

"Kid, you finally know fear, damn it, I've disliked you for a long time. Today, you're asking for it! Beat him hard!" Shen Yue roared.

The six followers behind Shen Yue rushed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, charging towards Nie Li.

"Beat him, beat him hard until he can't get up!" Shen Yue wore a cruel and satisfied smile on his face.

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

"Don't come over, I'll resist!" Nie Li dodged while circulating his Soul Power and shouted, "Help, Sacred Family is trying to kill someone!" Nie Li certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He would first try his best to slander the Sacred Family.

Nie Li used some soul secret techniques, and his voice was like thunder, causing people's eardrums to ache.

"Damn it, shut this kid up, hurry up and shut him up!" Hearing Nie Li's shouts, Shen Yue's face almost twitched. Damn it, Nie Li's shouts could be heard throughout Sacred Lan Academy, sounding even more miserable than a pig being slaughtered!

Bang bang bang!

Shen Yue's followers' fists and kicks rained down on Nie Li. Three of these six followers were Bronze 2-star and three were Bronze 1-star. By all rights, Nie Li should have been beaten down with just a few punches, but after taking several blows, Nie Li was unharmed, and his shouts continued to echo loudly between the teaching buildings.

"Help, Sacred Family is trying to kill someone!"

The powerful penetration was enough to shake the teaching buildings. Soon, all the students in Sacred Lan Academy were alarmed. Many poked their heads out of the windows, wanting to see what was happening.

They immediately saw six people relentlessly beating Nie Li, and the person standing behind them was none other than Shen Yue of the Sacred Family.

"Isn't that Nie Li?"

"I heard Nie Li offended the Sacred Family!"

"I heard Nie Li exposed the Sacred Family's Crimson Flame Explosion as plagiarized, so the Sacred Family decided to send people to assassinate Nie Li!"

"The Sacred Family is too despicable, assassinating students inside Sacred Lan Academy!"

"Hurry and report this to the Dean!"

Some students were discussing amongst themselves. Many who had disliked Nie Li before now felt sympathy for him. Even some disciples from noble families were extremely indignant about Shen Yue's actions. This was Sacred Lan Academy, and the Sacred Family dared to kill someone here. Wasn't that blatant disregard for the law?

Nie Li glanced at Shen Yue in front of him, a cold smile playing on his lips. If you want to play with me, Shen Yue, you're still too young!

When being beaten by six people, Nie Li relied on his agile movements. All the punches and kicks from Shen Yue's six lackeys landed on Nie Li's Blazing Flame Armor. Not only did they fail to injure Nie Li, but their hands went numb from the impact, and their bones felt like they were about to crack.

While dodging, Nie Li retaliated with underhanded punches and kicks that landed on Shen Yue's lackeys, making them grimace in pain. Logically, with Nie Li's strength, he shouldn't have been able to inflict any damage on these Bronze 1-star and Bronze 2-star Martial Artists. However, Nie Li's punches were peculiar; a seemingly light punch hurt more than being hit with a club to the head.

"Damn it, you bunch of idiots, haven't you eaten?" Shen Yue roared. Under the gaze of countless students, Shen Yue felt completely humiliated. Yet, after so long, his six lackeys hadn't managed to take Nie Li down. Instead, Nie Li's shouts grew louder.

Nie Li shouting for help was one thing, but Nie Li yelling that the Sacred Family was killing people was like splashing all the filth onto the Sacred Family, striking right at their hearts!

Shen Yue was about to go mad. He was now in a no-win situation.

"Beat him! Beat him hard!" Shen Yue bellowed.

Shen Yue's lackeys cried out in misery. They were already trying their best, but no matter how they hit Nie Li, he was still jumping around. On the contrary, they felt like their bones were about to fall apart from Nie Li's blows. Nie Li's seemingly light punches had tremendous aftershock, leaving them bruised and battered.

"What are you doing?" a sharp voice rang out. A slender figure quickly darted over. It was Xiao Ninger.

Xiao Ninger shielded Nie Li and glared at Shen Yue and the others. A green light flashed around her; she was already a Bronze 1-star Demon Spirit Master. She held the Azure Moon Short Sword in her hand, ready to fight at any moment.

"Shen Yue, you've gone too far," another sharp voice sounded. Another graceful and beautiful figure emerged from the side. It was Ye Ziyun, and she glared at Shen Yue. "Shen Yue, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

"Nie Li, are you alright?" Xiao Ninger and Ye Ziyun asked Nie Li almost in unison.

Seeing how concerned Ye Ziyun was about Nie Li, Xiao Ninger's expression stiffened, and she turned her head away.

Ye Ziyun also felt a bit awkward and turned to glare at Shen Yue.

"Ziyun, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think!" Shen Yue couldn't explain himself. Seeing the faint mockery on Nie Li's face, he instantly understood what was happening. He had been tricked by Nie Li. He pointed at Nie Li and roared, "It's this brat! He deliberately led us here; this is all his doing!"

"Shen Yue, who are you trying to fool?" Xiao Ninger was even more indignant. "The excuse you're using is utterly idiotic!"

At this moment, Nie Li, with an innocent look on his face, righteously rebuked Shen Yue, "I admit I've offended your Sacred Family, but you've gone too far! You actually want to kill someone in the school? What do you think Sacred Lan Academy is? Even though my family background isn't as good as yours, I'm not someone you can just trample on. I want to see just how tyrannical your Sacred Family can be! I, Nie Li, have an unyielding spirit. Unless you kill me, it's impossible for me to yield to a bunch of thugs like you!"

Nie Li's righteous words nearly made Shen Yue spit blood from anger.

Hearing Nie Li's words, both Xiao Ninger and Ye Ziyun couldn't help but glance at Nie Li with admiration. Xiao Ninger's heart was filled with even more adoration.

I shouldn't yield to the Sacred Family either! Xiao Ninger thought to herself. She utterly detested the Sacred Family! In her eyes, the Sacred Family was as despicable and filthy as ever. The fact that they forced her to marry Shen Fei was proof enough!
