A Grudge Was Born

Silence! Deathly silence!

The world seemed to stand still, all eyes were focused on one thing, on Teng Chong, one of the Grand Dean of the Vast Academy, and his blue figure.

"Why... why..." Teng Chong lowered his head, looking at the hole in his chest where a flame was still burning, in disbelief.

No one knew what Teng Chong's words meant, and he couldn't get the answer he wanted. His consciousness gradually faded, and he finally fell backward.

"Whoosh~~~"

"Bang~~"

Three miles north of the Zhenbei, there is a large pit. That is Teng Chong's tombstone, the final resting place of the Seventh Dean of the Vast Academy, a big figure who stood at the top of the food chain of the Azure Dragon Continent.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, at a loss for what to do.

If killing Teng Shangqing would invite Revenge from Teng Chong for the Mysterious Bookstore, then killing Teng Chong would directly pit the Mysterious Bookstore against the Vast Academy, making them hostile forces.

Because no power would allow its leaders to die tragically at the hands of other powers, especially for the Vast Academy, the continent's number one power that has endured for five thousand years, it has its own honor and dignity.

"The sky is about to collapse!" A powerful figure at the Spirit Saint realm floated in mid-air and sighed.

On one side is the continent's number one power, which has endured for five thousand years, and on the other side is the emerging and powerful Mysterious Bookstore. The two most powerful forces on the continent have actually clashed.

"Teng Chong is dead, but that crazy woman Cang Lan will definitely not let this go. Sigh..." Another powerful figure at the Spirit Saint realm shook his head and said.

On the Azure Dragon Continent, the cultivator with the highest recognized strength is Saint Chu Feng Yiming, while the cultivator who is generally considered untouchable is Cang Lan.

This woman is not only incredibly powerful, but also ruthless. Anyone who crosses her suffers a fate worse than death. She is known as "Pervert Lan" or "Three Thousand Lan".

Why was she given the nickname "Pervert Lan"?

Because she eats human flesh! Anyone who offends her will be eaten alive by her.

So why was she given the nickname 'Three Thousand Lan'?

Because Cang Lan loves 'harmony between people'!

There are also rumors that Cang Lan a harem of three thousand women, and they engage in sexual intercourse every night.

Who would dare to mess with such an extremely twisted woman?

"However, on the other hand, the outcome of a clash between the Vast Academy and Mysterious Bookstore is truly unpredictable," a white-haired old man floating in the air said meaningfully.

Although Vast Academy and Cang Lan are not to be trifled with, is the Mysterious Bookstore, which has successfully risen to become the number one power on the Azure Dragon Continent within a year, really an easy target?

"Indeed! Today I have truly felt the pressure of the Mysterious Bookstore. General Luanfeng, you are too powerful!" A great man sighed softly, his face full of emotion.

The Mysterious Bookstore has been open for a full year now. From what everyone knows, the Bookstore Mysterious Bookstore magical, it has a divine array inside, Saint is in charge, and the owner's cultivation is unfathomable.

People have respect, gratitude, Covet, and expectation for the Mysterious Bookstore, but not awe!

Because the Mysterious Bookstore has never shown its powerful side to the world, and the few times it has done so have been on the defensive, which has led to a misconception.

The Mysterious Bookstore is truly impressive, but it just doesn't inspire awe in them.

Now, the Luan Feng Spear first pierced Teng Shangqing, then killed Teng Chong, the Seventh Dean of the Vast Academy, bringing too much shock to the cultivators in Dubian Town. In the midst of the shock, they realized that their views on the Mysterious Bookstore had begun to change.

An indescribable feeling welled up from the depths of my heart.

Gradually, they understood that feeling was called—awe!

The powerful presence displayed by the Mysterious Bookstore at this moment revealed its aggressive and menacing side to the world.

This aspect was revealed solely through the perspective of one of the Bookstore's employees.

The truly powerful entity behind the Mysterious Bookstore never actually appeared.

What utter disdain for everything!

There are quite a few important figures attending the anniversary celebration of the Mysterious Bookstore today, representing almost two-thirds of the power in the entire Chu Kingdom and one-fifth of the power in the Azure Dragon Continent, including countless Spirit Emperors and Spirit Saint.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was filled with complex emotions as they silently watched the Luan Feng slowly descend from the sky.

"General Luanfeng is so cool!" Azi exclaimed in admiration as she looked at Luan Feng's figure in the crowd.

"Is this the God of War of Yan State? Truly, a woman who is no less capable than a man." On the third floor of the Wantong Trading Market, Empress Gongsun Qiong looked at Luan Feng, her beautiful eyes gleaming.

"It seems that the decline of the Yan State is a foregone conclusion." In the middle of the long street, an old man with white hair wearing black armor stood with his hands behind his back. There was a space of about ten feet around him, surrounded by soldiers. Although the cultivators on the outer perimeter were crowded, none of them dared to bump into the soldiers.

In a dark corner, a figure shrouded in a long black robe witnessed this scene and murmured, "Fight! Let this continent descend into chaos! When the smoke of war rises again, that will be the day my Demon Sect rises."

"..."

"I'm so sorry, there was an accident just now. Let's continue." Zhang Yunji's eyelids twitched when he saw Luan Feng walk back with a murderous look on her face. He quickly straightened up and resumed the previous topic.

"In addition to the Seven-Colored Liuli Rain, all the books in the Mysterious Bookstore will be free to the public today. You can enter the Mysterious Bookstore to read without needing a special number, and the chances of gaining insights from the books today are much higher than usual."

"It really is free to watch!" Zhang Yunji's words caused quite a stir in the crowd. Everyone had been speculating whether Mysterious Bookstore would offer free book viewing during its anniversary celebration, and the result was exactly as they had guessed, and it even seemed to be better than they had imagined.

How much greater is the chance of this breakthrough compared to usual?

"It might be a 100% chance."

"When does this event start?" Before they knew it, the crowd of onlookers slowly began to gather around the center again.

But in front of the Bookstore, a middle-aged man with lightning bolts all over his body was still squatting, with the already dead Teng Shangqing lying in his arms.

"He's dead. Take him back," a cultivator sighed and said.

"Yes! And the Seventh Dean outside the Zhenbei, let's go check it out quickly. It seems someone sneaked out of town just now, probably to collect the body." A kind person in the crowd reminded them.

After killing Teng Chong, the Seventh Dean Luan Feng did not head towards the direction where Teng Chong fell. Instead, she returned to the front of the Bookstore. As a result, the treasures that Teng Chong was carrying became ownerless, which naturally attracted many people to collect the body.
