Chapter 266 - Immortal Burial Array

“Listen to me. I agreed to send Xu Lingxue to the cultivation world, and this is a rare opportunity in a century. The cultivation world will only pick geniuses from the mundane world once every century.” Fan Zhen explained, trying to calm Liu Wuxie down. It turns out he was also involved in this matter.

“Is the place she was sent to reliable?” Now that it was done, the best way for him was to enter the cultivation world and find Xu Lingxue to keep her safe. As Fan Zhen said, there was nothing he could change even if he killed Baili Qing now.

“Everyone disperse!” Fan Zhen ordered several teachers to take Baili Qing for treatment.

Seeing that there was nothing left to watch, the other students left and continued their lessons.

This time, Liu Wuxie allowed the teachers to take Baili Qing away.

Liu Wuxie and Fan Zhen were the only ones left as the crowd dispersed.

“Let’s talk at my place!” Fan Zhen invited Liu Wuxie to his courtyard as it wasn’t convenient to talk there.

When they sat in the main hall, Liu Wuxie’s face remained grim, hoping for a reasonable explanation from Fan Zhen.

“Where did you send her?” Liu Wuxie went straight into the topic, demanding Xu Lingxue’s location.

“The Misty Sect!” Fan Zhen said without concealing anything.

“The sect that is known only to recruit female disciples?” Liu Wuxie frowned. According to the information he had received from Mu Yueying, the Misty Sect’s disciples were primarily female, and they rarely had any male disciples. It was also ranked in the middle among the ten major sects.

“The Misty Sect is an orthodox sect. Xu Lingxue is highly talented, and the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra she practices originates from the Misty Sect. There has been an agreement to inform them if we find anyone suitable with the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and they would send someone to pick up that disciple.”

Liu Wuxie didn’t expect the Imperial Academy to have a connection with the cultivation world. However, it was expected because the cultivation world needed constant fresh blood, and many seedlings could be found in the mundane world.

It was troublesome to identify those seedlings individually, and the best way was to give them a cultivation technique. If someone were compatible with the cultivation technique, that person would naturally be the genius they sought.

The other sects also had similar initiatives, establishing branches in some nations to identify geniuses.

Mu Yueying did so many things for Liu Wuxie, intending to recruit him for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

“You’re the one who notified the Misty Sect?” Liu Wuxie asked with his brows furrowed.

Fan Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, “I initially intended to let her participate in the Battle for the Hundred Nations and let the Misty Sect discover her talent. But last month, Baili Qing acted on her own accord and contacted the envoy of the Misty Sect.”

Baili Qing had kept Fan Zhen in the dark regarding this matter. She had strongly recommended that Xu Lingxue join the Misty Sect to separate her from Liu Wuxie.

Everything was clear now. Since Xu Lingxue had joined the Misty Sect, her safety wasn’t a concern for the time being. With her talent, it was a matter of time before she rose in the cultivation world.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave!” With less than ten days until the Battle of the Hundred Nations, Liu Wuxie had many things to attend to.

“Wuxie, are you planning to avenge the Xue Clan?” Fan Zhen rose to his feet. He could sense that Liu Wuxie’s murderous intent hadn’t faded after he had slapped Baili Qing, and he felt it lurking within him.

“Some debts have to be settled!” Liu Wuxie said. He wanted to resolve his feud with the Xue Clan immediately.

“It’s too dangerous for you to go by yourself. The Xue Clan has an ancestor in the True Core Realm. I’ll come with you!” Fan Zhen was determined to protect Liu Wuxie and wouldn’t allow mishaps. After all, it had been long since the Great Yan Dynasty had obtained a decent result in the Battle of the Hundred Nations.

If the ten major sects chose Liu Wuxie, the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Imperial Academy would have a stellar reputation.

“Thank you for your goodwill, but I am fine by myself. I don’t wish anyone else to interfere in my feud with the Xue Clan.” Liu Wuxie shook his head and expressed his gratitude. He had to be the one to wipe out the Xue Clan.

Performing the Nine Heavenly Crane Dance, Liu Wuxie soared to the sky like a celestial crane and headed towards the Imperial City.

Just when the Xue Clan was discussing significant matters, the news of Liu Wuxie slapping Baili Qing reached them, which scared Xue Yu. He was so frightened that he found it difficult to breathe as he sat in the main hall.

He was the cause of this as he had provoked such a formidable opponent against the Xue Clan.

“Report!” A Xue Clan’s disciple came into the main hall with a challenge letter.

When Xue Dingtian took the letter, he opened it and saw the words written with blood: “Life and death, tomorrow!”

Liu Wuxie had signed this letter, and he was straightforward with it.

The feud between the two had reached a point of no reconciliation. Liu Wuxie wanted to wipe out the Xue Clan openly, not resorting to assault or sneak attacks.

In less than two hours, the news of Liu Wuxie issuing a challenge to the Xue Clan spread throughout the Imperial City.

The Xue Clan’s experts swiftly hurried back because this concerned the survival of the entire clan. However, it was comforting to learn that this was between Liu Wuxie and the Xue Clan, with no involvement from the Imperial Academy.

People found the day to be seemingly endless, and they couldn’t help but yearn for the arrival of the next day.

The Bai Clan was on edge, fearing that this might affect them. After all, Liu Wuxie’s rise could no longer be stopped.

The night was quiet, and the lights in the Xue Clan were brightly lit. Thousands of elites were gathered in the Xue Clan’s main hall, discussing the day’s battle.

A black figure quietly appeared outside the Xue Clan, wielding multiple black flags. This figure was like a ghost with hundreds of array flags in his hand, surrounding the Xue Clan. When a faint barrier enveloped the entire Xue Clan, the Xue Clan was still unaware of it.

“The Immortal Burial Array; even an immortal won’t be able to escape alive!” After setting up the array, the black figure stood on the wall not far away with a cruel smile. When he removed his mask, it turned out to be Liu Wuxie.

He had planned the battle for the following day, giving the Xue Clan time to summon all their elite members. This would allow him to eradicate the entire Xue Clan in one fell swoop, sparing him the hassle of hunting down any stragglers.

Once all the elites had returned, he established a barrier to seal off the entire clan, ensuring that no one could escape.

As the night deepened, a period of darkness ensued before the break of dawn. As the sky gradually brightened, tens of thousands of people congregated around the Xue Clan. The fate of the Xue Clan would be determined that day.

The Imperial Academy had suspended all its classes for the day. Both students and teachers had gathered early to witness the event.

The Xue Clan’s higher hierarchy didn’t sleep all night and was discussing a strategy for facing Liu Wuxie.

An old man was seated on the main seat, holding a cane in his right hand and emitting a powerful aura.

“You imbecile brats! You summoned me to deal with an ant?” This old man was the Xue Clan’s True Core Realm ancestor, Xue Shixiong. He had reached the True Core Realm a century ago and secluded himself. This also meant that his strength had become even more unfathomable.

“Ancestor, please calm down. This youngster is not as simple as he seems. He was capable of defeating enemies in the high levels of the Marrow Cleansing Realm when he was only in the lower levels. Now that he has reached the eighth level, none of us can stand against him except for you,” Xue Dingtian pleaded, standing before the old man, trembling with fear.

The clan\'s higher hierarchy didn’t dare say a word, as they were all enveloped in the ancestor’s aura.

“Interesting!” Xue Shixiong’s eyes flashed with a playful smile. He had lived for centuries and hadn’t seen such a genius before. This was the first time he heard of someone capable of killing experts in the high levels of the Marrow Cleansing Realm while in the low levels.

This only meant that Liu Wuxie had a major secret on him. As long as the Xue Clan could uncover the secret, it was only a matter of time before they became the strongest clan in the Great Yan dynasty and even replaced the royal family.

“Ancestor, the sun has risen. Shouldn’t we make preparations to counterattack?” Xue Dingtian asked, not daring to decide by himself. This concerned the life and death of the entire clan, but the whole Xue Clan’s morale rose when they heard that the Imperial Academy wasn’t getting involved.

After all, the three headmasters were incredibly powerful, and the Xue Clan would be destroyed if they made a move against them.

Liu Wuxie didn’t seek Fan Zhen’s assistance because he didn’t want help from others and also wanted to avoid putting Fan Zhen in a difficult position.

The Imperial Academy represented the Great Yan Dynasty, and the members of the Xue Clan were its subjects. The academy didn’t have a reason to attack as long as the Xue Clan didn’t commit treason against the dynasty.

This was a personal feud that could only be resolved privately. Even Chen Yusheng had no right to intervene.

“Let me face that brat!” Since high levels of the Marrow Cleansing Realm couldn’t defeat Liu Wuxie, he had to make a move.

When Xue Shixiong stood up, a violent energy swept out, making the surrounding buildings creak.

His presence served to bolster the morale of the Xue Clan. Despite Liu Wuxie’s strength, he was only in the Marrow Cleansing Realm. An expert in the True Core Realm, like Xue Shixiong, had opened his divine bridge and possessed mysterious and unpredictable abilities that were beyond the reach of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

“This is bad! The clan is enveloped in a barrier, and no one can leave!” A commander of the Xue Clan rushed into the main hall with fear on his face.

“Look at the panic on your face right now!” Xue Dingtian was furious as he reprimanded the commander.

“Patriarch, we tried to attack the barrier, but we couldn’t break it no matter how hard we tried. The rebound force killed everyone who tried.” The commander carried on explaining with fear etched on his face because that was a brutal scene.

“Let’s go out and take a look!” Xue Dingtian instantly realized something was amiss and led everyone out of the main hall.

Over a thousand people stood on the field of the Xue Clan, looking at the sky. Sure enough, a thick light barrier enveloped the entire clan, and not even birds could fly out.

However, the other disciples didn’t pay much heed and carried on with their cultivation. After all, the Xue Clan had weathered numerous challenges over the nearly thousand years they had resided in the Imperial City.
