The Southern Heaven City immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "My lord, spare my life! I actually blocked your path! I will be waiting for your arrival in front of the city lord's mansion."
Shen Dong ignored him and waved his hand dismissively.
The iron cavalry will head towards the Southern Heaven Academy.
"Um?"
Su Xiuyi, who was in the Myriad Text Academy, also sensed the unusual activity in Southern Heaven City and activated her Pupil of Void Breaking, which allowed her to witness the scene before her.
" Shen Dong, he's actually been granted a marquisate?"
Upon seeing the three large characters "Champion Marquis" on the Iron Cavalry banner, Su Xiuyi frowned.
The champion is the bravest among the three armies.
The word "champion" carries a very special meaning. It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to receive the title of "champion" unless they have made extraordinary contributions or are a loyal subordinate of Su Tianlong.
" Invincible! They've actually reached the Invincible!"
Su Xiuyi looked at Shen Dong, her expression changing involuntarily.
Su Xiuyi was perfectly aware of Shen Dong's talent; while Shen Dong's talent was good, it certainly hadn't reached this level.
He has the help of external cheat codes, and he hasn't been Invincible for many years. Shen Dong's talent is absolutely not enough to achieve this.
Su Xiuyi frowned slightly.
What exactly happened to Shen Dong?
Are we heading to the Southern Heaven Academy?
" Shen Dong's teacher was publicly executed for betraying Human Race and pledging allegiance to the Blood Barbarian Demon Soul. What brings Shen Dong to the Southern Heaven Academy?"
After Su Xiuyi finished speaking, she stopped cultivating.
After a look of curiosity appeared on his face, he activated his Pupil of Void Breaking to observe.
Who is that?
"To make you take this so seriously, is it someone from the past?"
Beside Su Xiuyi, the Blood Dog conjured a line of words on the ground and asked curiously.
In Blood Dog's eyes, Su Xiuyi was a cultivation madman, her cultivation seemingly obsessive.
Since meeting Su Xiuyi, he had never seen Su Xiuyi care about someone so much. His strength was also Invincible, so he could naturally notice that Su Xiuyi was watching Shen Dong.
"An old friend?"
"I guess so!"
"This person almost killed me!"
"They took everything from me!"
After decades, Shen Dong, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared, and Su Xiuyi's expression was indeed complicated.
Back then, Shen Dong gave him a huge gift; those ten major sins permanently cemented his place on the pillar of shame.
"An enemy?"
"This guy is so weak, yet he almost killed you? You must be bragging!" Blood Dog looked unconvinced.
······
Before the Southern Heaven Academy, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and tens of thousands of figures from the Southern Heaven Academy knelt down in unison before Shen Dong.
"We pay our respects to Your Excellency."
From the academy's chief priest to ordinary disciples, everyone was extremely respectful to Shen Dong at this moment.
Because Shen Dong's power and strength were something they could not afford to offend, and at the same time, Shen Dong also brought unparalleled glory to the Southern Heaven Academy.
"No need for formalities!"
Shen Dong, atop the bronze chariot, watched this scene, a look of satisfaction spreading across his face.
He used to be so overshadowed by Su Xiuyi that he could hardly lift his head in this place.
However, today, Su Xiuyi has become history, while he has ascended to the pinnacle of the dynasty.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Each body trembled with excitement.
"My lord, please!"
With a respectful expression, the headmaster of the Southern Heaven Academy, surrounded by everyone, led Shen Dong into the Southern Heaven Academy.
"The academy is doing quite well now!"
"What kinds of geniuses are they?"
Shen Dong asked casually.
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, the Chancellor hurriedly introduced many of the academy's geniuses, but he knew that Shen Dong could not know Tie Ling's identity, so he omitted Tie Ling from the list.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Dong's expression turned cold.
"Your Excellency, these people certainly have talent, but they can hardly be considered geniuses."
"Why is it that I heard a Goddess of War appeared in my academy, but I don't recall hearing her name just now!"
Shen Dong's icy gaze fell upon the high priest, and his Invincible aura erupted.
"My lord, spare my life! I was foolish!"
The academy's headmaster's expression darkened, his face turning grim. He realized that Shen Dong's visit to the academy seemed to have ulterior motives.
Another person immediately spoke up, "What the Marquis says is true. These people are talented, but they can't be considered geniuses. The real genius is the Chief Priest's adopted daughter, Tie Ling. This Tie Ling has the title of Goddess of War, and she has already set foot in the Mountainsea at such a young age."
"Moreover, this Tie Ling is the daughter of Tiezhu, whom Su Xiuyi rescued, and she's quite pretty!"
Upon hearing this person's words, the academy's chief priest's expression instantly turned cold.
Tiezhu saved everyone and was a benefactor of the Southern Heaven Academy, but he was betrayed.
Shen Dong and Su Xiuyi have always been at odds, and at this moment, he didn't dare to utter a sound.
Upon hearing this, Shen Dong smiled.
"Yeah?"
"That's true, Your Excellency, you're getting old!"
"It must be over two hundred years old by now!"
"I think you should give up your position as the head of the academy; I think he's more suitable!"
Shen Dong appeared to be all smiles, but the academy's chief priest knew that Shen Dong was keeping an eye on him.
He knew that Shen Dong's claim that he was old was utterly absurd, because his strength was at the Peak Sunmoon, only one step away from Invincible, and his lifespan was over four hundred years. Two hundred years old would only be considered middle-aged.
However, being inferior in strength and status to Shen Dong Shen Dong, he dared not disobey and said in a low voice, "What you say is true, my lord. I am indeed getting old, and my cultivation has suffered a setback. I am no longer suitable for the position of Grand Master of Ceremonies. I will submit a memorial to His Human Emperor as soon as possible."
Shen Dong's words clearly implied that the position of Chief Priest must be relinquished.
"That's good. His Human Emperor will agree."
Shen Dong revealed a meaningful smile.
Many of them pleaded for Su Xiuyi in front of Su Tianlong back then.
The man was overjoyed upon hearing Shen Dong's words.
"My lord, do you wish to see Tie Ling now? I will arrange it immediately!"
Shen Dong glanced at it and said calmly, "Bring it here. Such a genius is truly rare."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, she immediately left. Soon, Tie Ling, looking unwilling, was taken to Hall of Righteousness.
"Um?"
"What exactly is Shen Dong trying to do?"
Seeing Tie Ling being taken to the Hall of Righteousness, Su Xiuyi's eyes Pupil of Void Breaking slightly cold.
Tie Ling is Tiezhu's daughter.
" Shen Dong, it's been so many years. I thought you were dead and couldn't be bothered with you. I never expected you to come to me like this."
"Then, stay!"
Su Xiuyi's body vanished from the Myriad Text Academy in an instant.
When she reappeared, Su Xiuyi was already in the Hall of Righteousness. However, at this moment, Su Xiuyi was incredibly powerful, and her Yin Will Character had also been upgraded to Spirit Character. Even though Shen Dong was Invincible, he could not detect Su Xiuyi's presence.
"This is the aura of the Undying Clan. Shen Dong has actually fused with the bloodline of the Undying Clan. No wonder Su Tianlong named him Champion Marquis; he was Su Tianlong's pawn after all."
Upon getting closer, Su Xiuyi finally noticed Shen Dong's unusual behavior.
Shen Dong and Blood Dog were in almost identical condition.
