Is This Retribution?
The natives were quite flustered.
The island's former owner was still within the realm of 'humanity,' but the island's current owner is no longer human at all.
Faced with such a terrifying island owner, their secretly practiced "divine skills" became a joke.
Even if each of them could shatter the air with a single punch, they would still be utterly thrashed by this inhuman island lord, right?
However, before the natives could even process their initial shock, something even more outrageous happened.
The island owner then produced another talisman from somewhere and threw it into the sky.
"The divine talisman commands, summon the divine thunder!"
The yellow talisman flew into the sky and fell into the clouds.
The next moment, streaks of golden lightning tore through the sky and struck the island lord! Each bolt of lightning carried destructive power. The more timid natives had already Head-Hugging Crouch Defense.
Summoning lightning? The island lord can actually summon lightning!
My God, is he an immortal?
But what is the island owner trying to do? Summon lightning to strike himself? Is he having a mental breakdown?
The natives had barely formed the idea when they saw the island lord raise his arm.
Then... the island lord swung his fist, shattering the Heavenly Thunder that were hurtling towards him, one punch after another.
It's broken! It's broken!
The natives' already weak knees finally gave way under their weight... and they finally collapsed.
After the island lord shattered all the divine lightning bolts, he turned around, looked at the natives, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you all doing gathered together? Have you all finished your homework?"
The natives looked at each other, unsure how to respond.
At that moment, a clever thought struck the tall native, who immediately replied, "Island Master, we just heard a huge booming sound and came to investigate out of curiosity."
After saying that, he added a flattering remark, "Lord Island Master, your divine skills are unparalleled, unmatched in the world!"
"Hmm." The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman smiled slightly and said, "By the way, I vaguely heard shouts just now, it seemed to be [a rebellion against a brutal demon], what was that about?"
"Demons? What are demons? We have absolutely no idea," the tall native said earnestly.
"You all don't know? It seems I was practicing my skills just now, and the noise was quite loud, so you misheard." The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman nodded calmly.
All the natives immediately felt a deep sense of relief—no matter what, as long as they got away with it, that was fine.
At this moment, the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman asked again, "By the way, did everyone memorize the Book of Songs we learned today? This Book of Songs has many uncommon characters; will it be difficult to learn?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all. We love learning this Book of Songs the most!" the tall native said, patting his chest.
The natives behind them chimed in, "The lines from the Book of Book of Songs are the most beautiful: 'The ospreys cry 'guan guan' on the river's islet. 'A fair maiden, a gentleman's good match!' How beautiful!"
"We've been discussing this topic all day, and we look forward to you, Island Master, teaching us more about the Book of Book of Songs."
"Yes, yes, I love the Book of Songs the most!"
"I wish I could study the Book of Songs every day!"
The natives chattered amongst themselves, enthusiastically expressing their interest and love for the Book of Songs, and strongly requesting the island lord to teach them more.
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman nodded silently. "I didn't expect you all to like the Book of Songs so much."
After a pause, the lord of the manor seemed to have made a decision. "In that case, let's slowly finish learning this Book of Songs!"
The natives wanted to cry, but they had to force a smile.
At this moment, the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman delivered the final blow. "Actually, I was originally planning to say goodbye to everyone tonight. My original wish was to teach everyone to read and write. That wish has already been fulfilled. As for the Book of Songs, it was just an opening piece I wanted to teach you, which would serve as the end of this lesson. I even booked a sumptuous banquet as a farewell feast."
"However, since everyone enjoys the Book of Book of Songs so much, I've decided that I'll finish teaching it before I say goodbye. Let's spend a little more time together!"
All the natives were dumbfounded.
"Waaaaah~~~" Suddenly, all the natives burst into tears, crying very sadly.
Seven Lives Talisman smiled wickedly, "Ah, it seems you're quite moved. That's good. I will do my best to teach you the Book of Book of Songs, but I will also be stricter with you. Be prepared."
"Waaaaah~~" The natives almost fainted from gratitude.
If they don't come out and cause trouble tonight, this demon is about to leave...
I feel like crying; my sadness is like the Lushan Waterfall flowing backwards.
Seven Lives Talisman continued, "Alright, it's getting late, everyone go back and rest. Finish your homework early, we'll have class at five tomorrow. Because I don't have much time, I'll try to finish teaching the *Classic of Book of Songs * within half a month. So... we'll start class a little earlier, end class a little later, and give a little more homework! Soon, we'll finish teaching the * Book of Songs *!"
"Waaaaah..." Many natives were already hugging the big tree, crying their eyes out.
Many natives were banging their heads against the trees, as if they wanted to knock themselves unconscious.
"Life is always so wonderful," Senior Seven Lives Talisman sighed. Perfect timing, he could use these two weeks to polish the 'Blood God Diamond' into blood ink for calligraphy and painting Talisman Treasure.
Finally, the natives, who had been crying their hearts out, dispersed one by one and began to do their homework with tears streaming down their faces.
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman began to take off his training clothes and put back on his usual black trench coat.
"Naive fools, you still want to defy me? For the next two weeks, I'll let you experience the most popular hellish cramming training in China right now, until you feel nauseous just looking at the Book of Book of Songs." The Lord of the Manor coolly put on his sunglasses.
Having said that, the talisman master prepared to turn around and return to his room.
Suddenly, a spatial rift expanded out beside him.
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman's expression tightened, his fingers gripping a crystal ring as he stared intently at the spatial rift.
The next moment, a man dressed in a scholar's robe stepped out from the spatial rift.
The man had a refined appearance, but his eyes were bloodshot, filled with madness and murderous intent.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Why isn't this wound healed yet? I finally advanced to the advanced level!" The refined scholar's face twitched violently after he emerged from the spatial rift.
It was that person who forcibly 'borrowed' Song Shuhang's Spirit Ghost.
The wound on his back was caused by Song Shuhang's 'Appraisal Secret Method'. Ignoring defense and magic immunity, the pain of the wound was magnified by a thousand percent, and there was no cure, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"Young friend Shuhang?" The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman asked with some surprise when he saw who it was.
"Ah, I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, you may have mistaken me for someone else," the refined scholar replied, wincing in pain.
"I'm sorry, senior, but you look a lot like a fellow Daoist I know."
"Ah, well, perhaps you're not mistaken. This time, I forcibly 'borrowed' a young Daoist's Spirit Ghost. Perhaps the Spirit Ghost I'm borrowing now belongs to that Shuhang you know. Well, could you please tell that I borrowed his Spirit Ghost, but I'll return it to him after some time, and pay him a satisfactory reward?" The refined scholar cupped his hands in greeting to the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman.
Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "..." Spirit Ghost can be forcibly borrowed?
At this moment, the refined scholar took out a map from his person and asked, "By the way, fellow Daoist, have you seen someone dressed like a scholar similar to me in the Eastern Sea? But that guy seemed mentally unstable? According to my senses, he should be wandering around the Eastern Sea right now."
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it." The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman shook his head, then kindly reminded him, "Also, senior, this is the Pacific Ocean."
The refined scholar immediately located the Pacific Ocean on the map. "..."
"Then, fellow Daoist, I'll take my leave first. I don't have much time; I need to find that fellow as soon as possible. Farewell." The refined scholar chuckled dryly, then reached out, tore open the space before him, and plunged inside.
Before leaving, he turned to the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman and said, "Oh, and don't forget to tell your young friend. I always repay what I borrow; I'm very trustworthy. Tell him he can rest assured!"
Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "..."
Tearing open space, Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal!
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman gently touched the crystal ring on his hand. Even with his crystal ring possessing spatial teleportation capabilities, he couldn't guarantee his survival against Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal.
Faced with such a being, one can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
With a soft sigh, the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman tried his best to calm himself down.
Yes, and before he could calm down, an even larger Spatial Passage opened up beside him.
At the same time, many tentacles emerged from this passage.
Not again?!
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman stared intently at the Spatial Passage.
The next moment, a giant Glowing Jellyfish emerged.
After she appeared, she looked around and then turned to the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman: "Hey, fellow Daoist, how are you? Have you seen a fellow dressed as a scholar?"
The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman replied, "That senior just went to the Eastern Sea."
"Thank you." The Glowing Jellyfish smiled slightly, then suddenly added, "By the way, do you know a young Daoist named Song Shuhang?"
"Yes." The Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman nodded—it's young friend Shuhang again?
"No wonder, I saw some Talisman Treasure in his 'Inch-Shrinking Bag,' which were filled with your aura. Those Talisman Treasure were well made. You are a very creative talisman master," said the Glowing Jellyfish.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior," said the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman excitedly.
"Well then, I still have to chase after that scholar-looking fellow. We'll part ways here." The Glowing Jellyfish's tentacles spread out, tearing through space, and it plunged inside.
After she disappeared, the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman breathed a long sigh of relief.
The appearance of two legendary Tribulation Immortal in succession is putting immense pressure on us.
Although these two Tribulation Immortal had tried their best to conceal their auras, the Palace Master still felt breathless when facing Tribulation Immortal... After all, they were beings who could crush him with a flick of their finger.
"Is this retribution?" the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman asked with a wry smile. He had just startled the natives once, and then he was startled by two Tribulation Immortal.
