Old Lord Qiyang

With one punch, he blasted the Red Blood Snake King to death, taking out more than half the snake swarm along with him. Staring at the several-hundred-meter-long ravine and the toppled, crooked trees at its end, the thousands of teachers and students could not come back to their senses for a long while.

They had only ever seen such scenes in movies. It was enough to shake their very eyes.

Su Yi let out a long breath. The muscle lines across his bare upper body were incomparably perfect, reflecting a metallic sheen beneath the sunlight. Even with the naked eye, one could sense the explosive power within him.

The sight of his bare torso left Nan Xiaopao dazzled and entranced. When she finally snapped awake, she immediately jumped up and cheered on the spot.

"Yay—Little Fool, you're amazing!"

Her voice shattered the silence, sending the plaza into an uproar.

Thousands of teachers and students cheered and shouted, while some even wept with joy.

"We're saved!"

"It's him! The student who killed snakes with a sword yesterday!"

"So strong! Oh my god! Is he an immortal?"

"Our university actually had such a fierce guy hidden away! Damn!"

"I think I've seen that student before. So he was this amazing!"

With the Red Blood Snake King dead, the remaining snakes scattered as well. The students were wild with excitement, while the girls burst into loud sobs.

The fear of an entire night had finally found release!

Li Fei and Su Yi's classmates were all dumbfounded, forming a sharp contrast with the jubilant students around them.

They all knew Su Yi—a perfectly ordinary poor kid. Why did he possess such godlike strength?

"How is this possible..."

Li Fei slapped himself, swallowed hard, and still could not believe the spectacular sight before him.

Su Yi shook out his right fist, his heart surging with excitement.

Eleven Dragon Power was already this terrifying. Wouldn't Hundred Dragon Strength be enough to split the sea and shatter mountains?

Nan Xiaopao threw her arms around Su Yi and jumped excitedly, but how could her little bit of strength possibly move him?

"Congratulations! You've won the cutest wife in the whole world!"

Nan Xiaopao said with a giggle, making Su Yi unable to resist pinching her cheek.

In a modern city, he might not have dared to express his feelings. But in Desolate Ancient, money was no longer the standard by which everything was measured, so naturally he would no longer suppress the voice in his heart.

Ruffling Nan Xiaopao's soft hair, he smiled. "Then shouldn't I congratulate you on getting the best man in the whole world?"

The two smiled at each other. The sweetness did not last long before they began bickering, each exposing the other's shortcomings.

At that moment, the elderly principal approached with the teachers. Their expressions were all excited, as though they had seized a lifeline.

"Student, what is your name? Thanks to you, otherwise we would have been in serious trouble."

The principal asked. His name was Meng Jiebang, and he was nearly seventy years old. He had served at Baiqiao University for almost twenty years and was highly respected.

Although Baiqiao University had low-quality teachers like Li Fei, most of its faculty were still outstanding. It was one of the city's finest universities, and Meng Jiebang himself had once been a professor at a top international institution.

Under ordinary circumstances, Su Yi would never have had contact with Meng Jiebang.

But he was taciturn by nature and only spoke a little more in front of Nan Xiaopao, so in response to Meng Jiebang's thanks, he merely nodded.

"His name is Su Yi. No need to thank him!"

Nan Xiaopao answered for Su Yi. Her liveliness brought smiles to the faces of several female teachers.

One department head said, "Student Su Yi is immensely powerful and the pride of our university. But the danger has not yet passed. We must unite all the teachers and students in the university, and we hope Student Su Yi can help."

He was very straightforward, first placing a lofty hat on Su Yi's head. An ordinary student would surely have agreed eagerly, but Su Yi remained unmoved.

He had his own goals. He had no desire to become free labor.

Baiqiao University had not given him much warmth. By acting before the Red Blood Snake King could eat anyone, he had already saved everyone's life.

People had to stand on their own feet and survive by relying on themselves!

With that thought, Su Yi turned around and walked toward the shattered ground and ravine ahead, where snake flesh and blood covered the ground.

The Red Blood Snake King had already taken human form. It surely possessed a Demon Core!

The Demon Core could help him grow stronger, and he did not want to miss it.

His actions immediately left the department head from before awkward. The other teachers looked at one another, not knowing what to say.

"You have so many people. You can unite first, find some weapons, organize the boys into teams, and begin training to guard against the next attack..."

At that moment, Nan Xiaopao suddenly spoke, going on at length.

She did not mention Su Yi at all. Clearly, she intended for them to rely on themselves.

Even before coming to Desolate Ancient, she had liked Su Yi. Naturally, she did not want to see him exploited by others.

The teachers frowned. Su Yi's strength was so great that he alone was worth more than ten times their thousands. They did not want to give up on him.

Meng Jiebang said nothing, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"Why aren't you calling the students over to help? These snakes' hides are tough and can be made into armor, while their fangs can be turned into weapons."

Su Yi's voice drifted over. He had already found the Red Blood Snake King's Demon Core. It was the size of a ping-pong ball and crimson throughout. He quietly placed it into the Dao Vault, then motioned for Nan Xiaopao to follow him.

At the same time, thousands of students crowded over. They wanted to strike up a connection with Su Yi, but he ignored them and left directly with Nan Xiaopao.

"Su Yi..."

Li Fei waved at Su Yi, a chrysanthemum-like smile blooming across his face. Yet Su Yi did not even spare him a glance.

Faced with Su Yi's somewhat cold and unfeeling attitude, the teachers' expressions turned rather ugly. But Su Yi was too strong, so they did not dare show it to his face.

"Do as Su Yi said. We have to rely on ourselves. The demons of Desolate Ancient certainly won't be limited to that Red Blood Snake King..."

Meng Jiebang sighed. They truly had no right to demand that Su Yi protect them.

Watching the two of them leave, the thousands of students immediately became flustered. Without Su Yi, what would they do when the next danger came?

Some more meticulous students were also curious. Why was Su Yi so strong?

Xuanyuan Human Emperor had sent them to Desolate Ancient, claiming it was so they could save the human race. He naturally would not send them into certain death. Opportunities must be waiting for them!

While the thousands of teachers and students busied themselves collecting snake hides and fangs, Su Yi and Nan Xiaopao returned to his dormitory.

After changing into a new shirt, Su Yi placed all his clothes into the Dao Vault, then followed Nan Xiaopao back to her dormitory.

"Pack up properly. We might have to leave at any time later."

Su Yi said as he locked the door behind them.

Nan Xiaopao nodded and immediately began rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Su Yi sat on the other bed and took out his phone. His phone no longer displayed its battery level, and he did not know when it would run out of power.

When he opened it, the screen did not display the Emperor Su Sect chat interface, but rather a passage of text and a list of names.

Please invite any one of the following living beings to join the Emperor Su Sect!

Li Huahun!

Old Lord Qiyang!

End of the World Swordsman!

Xiong Batian!

Desolate Dog King!

...

There were twenty-five names in total, leaving Su Yi dazzled.

He could invite new members again?

He was very curious. Where did these names come from? Were they from Desolate Ancient?

The Red Blood Snake King had previously said that this place was Qiling Land, and that above him stood a mysterious being called Laojun.

Could it be this Old Lord Qiyang?

With a thought, Su Yi immediately tapped Old Lord Qiyang's name.

If Old Lord Qiyang truly was the Red Blood Snake King's leader, then he could erase him within the Emperor Su Sect.
