Chapter 1974: Lingxiao's Past

hese years that they had seen a conflict between the chairman's wife and the president."Why should I explain things to you"Su Ruyu's performance today was completely different from her usual self. She...Ye Bufan was inwardly shocked. The old man had always seemed indifferent to everything, with a nonchalant air. He never expected such deep hatred to be hidden in his heart.

Li Daoran said: "Because we had a complete victory, that night after we returned, our Lingxiao Academy held a grand celebration banquet. "

But who could have imagined that the wine that night was poisoned, with such a insidious and venomous kind of meridian dispersing poison

This poison was invisible and odorless. Plus, everyone was incredibly happy that night, so no one noticed. As a result, all of the core members of Lingxiao Academy were poisoned.

Everyone just realized something was wrong when suddenly dozens of men in black rushed out.

These people are all masters. If it were any other time, we wouldn't be afraid. But after being hit with the Rongmai Powder, everyone's cultivation level is reduced to one-tenth of what it was. They have no resistance at all, it's a one-sided massacre.

At this point, hatred filled the old man's eyes. Two lines of cloudy tears streamed down his face, tracing paths through the wrinkles that crisscrossed his visage.

That night's battle, the core members of Lingxiao Academy all perished. The old man managed to save his own life under the desperate protection of his two sons, but they all died.

Li Dao-ran's voice was filled with grief and indignation, "After this battle, the core members are gone, and those ordinary students have fled the academy in panic. The entire Lingxiao Academy has been completely crippled, reduced to what it is now."

Ye Bufan was also filled with anger. The other party's methods were truly despicable and vicious.

"Know who did it"

"Who else could it be Those scoundrels from the Cangfeng Academy!"

Li Dao-ran said in a hateful voice, "Although the leader was wearing a mask, I would recognize him even if he were turned to ashes. He is Wei Wentong, the headmaster of Cangfeng Academy."

Ye Bufan was not surprised by this result. The fall of Lingxiao Academy naturally benefited Fengfeng Academy the most.

If it weren't for this formidable opponent, they wouldn't have achieved their current dominance.

"Lingxiao Academy was entrusted to me by my master. I once swore in front of his grave that I would make the academy flourish, but I never expected it to end up like this."

Li Dao-ran said, "I promised my master that as long as I am alive, the academy will not fall. So I've been trying every means to revive Lingxiao Academy."

But ever since then, I've become a complete wreck. The academy is now just me, what else can I do

Ten years have passed, and only Qingzhu has joined the academy. There are only two of us now.

I had already fallen into despair, thinking that I was destined to disappoint my teacher after death.

But heaven has its eyes, and the old man encountered this young fellow, letting me see hope again. I believe you will surely restore Lingxiao Academy to its former glory.

Ye Bufan was deeply moved in his heart. Without exaggeration, Li Daoran from before had already been completely driven to a desperate situation.

Severely poisoned, his cultivation crippled, the academy fallen into ruin, and yet he never gave up. This kind of perseverance is beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

Then he frowned again, asking with a hint of doubt: "Senior, isn't Lingxiao Academy one of the two major academies on the Kunlun Continent Wouldn't they intervene if something happened here"

As long as headquarters gives you some help, it shouldn't be too difficult to rebuild the academy, right

Mentioning the headquarters of Lingxiao Academy, Li Dao ran shook his head, his face full of helplessness and desolation.

The entire Kunlun Continent is divided into five continents. Tianluo Prefecture is the weakest among them, and the Tiānfeng Empire is the weakest of the thirty-six empires in Tianluo Prefecture.

In this situation, how could the Kunlun headquarters possibly pay attention to a small branch like ours

If the strength is only slightly damaged, some assistance will still be provided.

Now the academy has been completely destroyed. To rebuild it would require a huge amount of manpower and money, which is obviously not what they want to see, so they simply gave up on it.

"I once went to Tianluo Prefecture's headquarters for help, but before I even got through the door, I was turned away."

At this point, he sighed helplessly again: "The world is cold and indifferent. Some things can only rely on oneself, others are not to be expected."

Ye Bufan still asked in confusion, "Could it be that they just ignore this The Tianfeng Empire branch was destroyed. If so, where is the face of Lingxiao Academy"

Li Dao ran said, "At first I was very angry and very confused. I didn't understand why they did it that way, but after thinking about it, I understood the key."

Ultimately, we are just too weak. Even if the entire branch is destroyed, few people on the Kunlun Continent would know about it, let alone talk about losing face.

On the contrary, if Lingxiao Academy's headquarters searched for the perpetrator everywhere, it would attract more attention from others, and they would lose even more face in the end.

"The culprit is already quite clear, isn't it It's Wei Wentong from Cangfeng Academy," Ye Bufan said.

In his view, things were already very clear, but Li Dao ran shook his head.

"I know this thing was done by Wei Wutong, but I can't produce any evidence. And after that night, Wei Wutong mysteriously disappeared and is nowhere to be found."

"Gone That's impossible!"

Ye Bufan looked surprised, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Logically, Wei Wutong should have been enjoying the fruits of victory after painstakingly destroying Lingxiao Academy. Why did he suddenly disappear

But that's the reality. For so many years, I've tried every method imaginable, searching high and low for information about this beast.

But he found nothing, not a single clue. The man had simply vanished into thin air.

Ten years have passed, and Cangfeng Academy still hasn't appointed a new dean. There is no explanation for Wei Wutong's disappearance, and the academy continues to be run by Vice-Dean Feng Xingkong.

"How could this be"

Ye Bufan racked his brains, utterly perplexed. This matter was clearly out of the ordinary, yet he couldn't pinpoint the source of the problem.

"Little one, if you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Right now, the most important thing is to revitalize Lingxiao Academy. As long as we become strong again, that will be the best revenge against that old bastard Wei Wutong."

Li Daoran grabbed the bottle and took a swig, as if draining all his previous sadness and anger in one go.

"Although we have fewer students in the academy now, I know you and your women are all very strong, even stronger than our graduating class ten years ago."

The newcomer ranking tournament is about to start, you must beat those bastards from Fengyun Academy hard, stomp them into the ground, and make sure they don't get a single spot. That way, it'll be revenge for what happened back then.

"Don't worry, senior. I won't let them get away with this."

Ye Bufan readily agreed, driven by his hatred for the despicable actions of Cangfeng Academy and his own ambition to secure the top position in the entire newcomer ranking competition.

If even a small branch like the Cangfeng Branch can't be dealt with, how could one possibly obtain the Red Yuan Fruit

"Good boy, well done. As long as you avenge me, old man, I'll marry my granddaughter to you."

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan immediately had a black line on his forehead, it seemed this old man was still thinking about it.

"All things happen for a reason. You, little one, were originally from the Cangfeng Academy, but I never expected you to end up as the headmaster of my Lingxiao Academy. It seems like even Heaven feels it's time for us to rise to prominence."

Li Dao-ran patted him on the shoulder and said, "You little guy, you even managed to get hold of Lu Tiejiang's heteroflame. Your luck must be good, and you will surely be able to bring glory to the academy in the future!"

He mentioned Lu Tiejiang, and Ye Bufan asked, "Were you very close to Senior Lu before How did you know he could refine spirit weapons"now"This time, Su Caiwei actually showed a hint of shock."That... didn't I already say When I was very young, my master took me into the mountains. I don't even know what my home is called."Ye Bufan...
