"Teacher, there's news about Ye Li again."
Stepping into the courtyard, Lin Yinyun looked slightly excited and proudly waved the brand-new newspaper in her hand.
As the most capable editor-in-chief of the [News Department], she often relies on her Martial Arts Talent and family connections to quickly obtain first-hand information about the current situation.
Even a powerful expert like Yu Weng, who Divine Mansion Realm, often didn't have as much access to information as she did.
It should be noted that the territory of Huaxia stretches for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and some urban areas cannot receive information in a timely manner, let alone events that occur in remote and uninhabited mountainous areas.
Unless the battle is on a massive scale, becoming a renowned expert in Huaxia is extremely difficult.
"There's news about him again?" Yu Weng looked surprised and straightened up slightly.
It seems unlikely that this time it's another major event like killing the Pope of the Temple.
After all, he had just received the newspaper and hadn't even had a chance to warm it up yet. If he continued to be so unstoppable, he might not be able to kill all the Ye Li on the entire Blue Star.
My thoughts were churning.
The old man looked at Lin Yinyun, who was sitting in a chair, her brows furrowed in astonishment, and asked curiously:
What news is it?
"Do you know about the Heaven and Earth Pass?" Lin Yinyun glanced at him, deliberately keeping him in suspense.
"I know."
Yu Weng replied subconsciously. As a Fifth Tier expert who was over a hundred years old, he had heard a lot about the earth-shattering battle between the Qingyi Bureau and the Beast God Secret Realm back then.
The Heaven and Earth Pass was Forbidden Grounds in Huaxia that the old man had kept in his heart since he could remember.
Each of these three peerless beast kings, at the Hegemony Realm, could destroy the entire Fengyun City in the blink of an eye.
Just thinking about it made me have a nightmare that night.
After saying that, Yu Weng suddenly realized what was happening and stood up abruptly. "Ye Li went to Heaven and Earth Pass?"
"Um."
Compared to the elderly priest in his robes, whose expression was unusually solemn.
Lin Yinyun, however, remained remarkably calm. "I just went yesterday."
"Heaven and Earth Pass... Why is he in such a hurry?"
Yu Weng paced back and forth in the courtyard, his face looking rather unwell.
Compared to Yang Qingshan and others who knew the Pope's true strength, Fifth Tier martial artist like him, who only had some reputation in a province, naturally couldn't possibly know how big the gap was between Land Immortal.
In fact, for a Land Immortal capable of slaying a Pope at the sixth level of the Hegemony Realm...
Even if facing three Eighth-Tier Beast Kings from the Heaven and Earth Pass at the same time, they would definitely be able to escape unscathed.
This is also why Yang Qingshan of the General Bureau of Huaxia did not panic when he learned of this matter.
Yu Weng was unaware of these intricacies; he only knew that his student had just defeated a powerful being at the level of Land Immortal, and now he was about to face three terrifying beast kings of the same level.
One-on-one and one-on-three.
Anyone can see how different the difficulty curves are between the two.
He knew Ye Li's fearless nature; outwardly gentle and polite, he actually harbored an arrogance that seemed to transcend the entire world...
His trip to the Heaven and Earth Pass was likely to prove his worth as Arbiter. If he were to face the three-headed beast king alone, he probably wouldn't back down an inch.
This is truly worrying.
"..."
Lin Yinyun laid the newspaper flat on the table, propped her chin up, and watched the old man pacing back and forth in front of her.
A slight smile appeared on her pure and pretty oval face.
When she first heard the news, her immediate reaction was that Ye Li was willing to risk his life to prove himself.
Even with formidable regenerative abilities, you can't just go around like that! Who knows if those mythical, terrifying beast kings might possess innate Divine Ability that counter such methods?
But the reality was beyond her expectations.
As her fingertips traced the words on the newspaper, Lin Yinyun's heart trembled slightly.
It's not my fault.
Such unparalleled beauty would surely inspire admiration in anyone, wouldn't it?
How is he doing now?
Just then, Yu Weng suddenly turned around to look at her, his eyes already bloodshot.
The old man racked his brains, thinking it over and over again.
The only saving grace is that there are still two Land Immortal from Huaxia within the Heaven and Earth Pass.
Their disciple is exceptionally talented, so they figure the other party wouldn't let him fall into a desperate situation where he's attacked from both sides.
Lin Yinyun steadied herself slightly, turned her head to look, and her voice trembled involuntarily. "Ye Li... he should be safe and sound."
"All safe and sound?"
Yu Weng's expression softened slightly, but then he instinctively asked, "Didn't he fight the three beast kings from Heaven and Earth Pass?"
"How could this be!"
Lin Yinyun pushed the newspaper forward, and as the old man hurried over to check it, she said excitedly:
"My junior brother personally went to the Heaven and Earth Pass yesterday. Instead of avoiding battle, he swiftly and decisively killed those three infamous Eighth-Tier Beast King!"
"The crisis at the Heaven and Earth Pass has been resolved! The people of Nine Bends Continent already regard Ye Li as the reincarnation of Deity from heaven!"
As her words, brimming with barely concealed excitement, fell...
Yu Weng's gaze swept across the newspaper, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He glanced absently at Lin Yinyun, who stood radiant before the stone table, and couldn't help but recall the Boy in Black who had also sat before the stone table that day. His legs suddenly felt weak, and he struggled to calm himself, murmuring:
"They actually managed to do something like that..."
The three-headed beast king of Heaven and Earth Pass was a nightmare legend he had heard since childhood.
The older generation of martial arts masters always kept quiet about it, as if they were afraid that some beast thousands of miles away would hear it, and dared not say more out of fear.
"Yes."
Lin Yinyun did not hide the tremor in her voice, imagining what kind of amazing demeanor the Boy in Black who had just arrived not long ago now possessed.
I did come back for a visit not long ago.
With heroic spirit and majestic aura, they swept across the four seas and eight wastelands.
The boy was clearly in a hurry.
Before they could even recover from his godlike aura, Ye Li had already left Fengyun University and headed to Golden Moon Country to attend Secret Realm feast reserved for demigods of great nations.
"..."
After a moment, Yu Weng finally came to his senses.
"Xiao Lin."
The old man, newspaper in hand, sat down in his chair and, with a sigh of relief, asked the innocent young girl who was lost in her daydream:
Where is your Senior Sister Chen?
This child needs to broaden his horizons.
"Are you tidying up the courtyard for Junior Brother Ye?"
Lin Yinyun snapped out of her reverie, a hint of admiration in her eyes. "Senior Sister Chen said that graduation is imminent, and there might not be another opportunity like this in the future."
"So every few days I would go and help clean the courtyard, and I rarely did any school assignments outside."
"Really?" Yu Weng was somewhat surprised; this was the first time he had heard of this.
I never imagined the two of them had such a good relationship; it was my oversight as their teacher.
"Then we won't bother her."
He stood up, walked towards the courtyard gate, and chuckled softly:
"The New Student Competition is about to begin. I'm going to see which unlucky student has drawn Ye Li."
Although the boy was destined never to return, it was still quite interesting to watch the excitement.
