Chapter 2251: Chapter 1202: Making a Name for Oneself (Part 2)

The gaze directed at Yang Xiao was especially filled with murderous intent, as he clearly understood it was this kid who had ruined his entire plan.

If not forced to the brink of despair, who would willingly set aside their dignity and marry into Bone Painting Tower, marrying one of the tower master’s adopted daughters, and humbling oneself to become a godson.

Moreover, as far as he knew, his unwed wife had a very questionable private life, with rumors saying she was just one of the many lovers of the Bone Painting Tower Master, yet he had no choice now.

This was all because of that guy named Yang Xiao. Sheng Jingxuan had tried several times to find an opportunity to kill him, even spending a fortune to hire a Netherworld Realm assassin the last time.

But in the end, the assassin took the money and vanished without a trace, while Yang Xiao, that little bastard, was still alive and kicking.

“Elder Sheng, saying more is pointless, time is tight, let’s get to it.” Yang Xiao quietly reminded from the side.

“No rush, let’s make things clear, or it will be troublesome afterward,” Sheng Yanlin reminded, “Bring up the guy you caught.”

With a wave of Yang Xiao’s hand, someone released a person who had been stuffed in a sack. This was also an old man, but he looked extremely miserable, both arms had been completely severed, and his legs were broken.

With this person’s appearance, the elders of Yiling Academy on site instantly became agitated:

“Isn’t this Elder Wu from the Inner Courtyard? Didn’t the Dean say he got caught up in the Nightmare World and died?” Someone exclaimed in shock.

This was the person Sheng Jingxuan personally sent years ago to oversee the assassination of Yang Xiao, but he was preemptively discovered by the Jiangbei Province Office, and Wu Qingcang, the Killing God, was sent, killing his men to the last man, and capturing this one alive.

Elder Wu from the Inner Courtyard had been “warmly” cared for by the Patrol Defense Office, and on the way here, Yang Xiao had also “warmly” communicated with him, so this time he behaved very obediently, confessing everything he knew like spilling beans from a bamboo tube.

“Dean… no, no, Sheng Jingxuan, don’t persist, they know everything. If you surrender now, the officials from the Patrol Defense Office might still treat you leniently. If you delay, you’ll face utter ruin!” Elder Wu started urging Sheng Jingxuan to surrender.

Many present from the academy were unsure whom to support, but with Elder Wu speaking, the credibility of Sheng Yanlin’s words clearly increased.

After all, everyone knew Elder Wu was Sheng Jingxuan’s staunch confidant, handling personal matters for him secretly.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, another person stepped forward. This individual was tall and lean, wearing a blue-purple robe, with inverted triangular eyes, and a pale face tinged with a bluish hue, an unmistakable skull insignia on the chest of the robes.

Yang Xiao had seen this symbol in the ancient books left by the Sect Master, recognizing it as the mark of Bone Painting Tower, knowing this person was far from ordinary, a genuine Netherworld Realm expert.

This person was quite arrogant, not even lifting a hand, directly saying, “Elder Sheng, I’ve long admired you. I am Qian Gu Shou Gu Ji from the Bone Painting Tower. There must be some misunderstanding about today’s matter.”

“No time like the present, today is a day of great joy for Dean Sheng. I hope you could give Bone Painting Tower some face, and discuss any issues afterward. After all… this marriage was personally appointed by our Great Master, and the bride Dean Sheng is marrying… is our Great Master’s…”

“What face do you have?” Sheng Yanlin couldn’t even be bothered to look up, speaking with surprising coarseness, “Back in the day, when I roamed the world of martial arts, even your Great Master would treat me with respect. What do you amount to, to speak with me?”

Elder Gu Ji from Bone Painting Tower was stunned for a full three seconds, then erupted loudly: “Sheng Yanlin, I warn you, you are no longer the Dean of Yiling Academy. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

In the next second, a figure bizarrely appeared in front of Elder Bone Silence, with special spiritual power fluctuations revealing its identity as a puppet.

As this puppet appeared, it immediately caused a stir on site. It was a puppet with power surpassing the Half-step Nether Realm, a truly valuable item.

Yang Xiao also had a puppet, from Japan’s Fog Hidden Sect. Although it was also good, compared to Bone Silence’s, it was slightly inferior overall.

Elder Bone Silence didn’t hold back. He immediately summoned his Lifebound Puppet, and simultaneously, a strong wave of spiritual power surged, creating a momentary illusion as golden Buddhist light emerged beside the puppet.

But on closer inspection, a shocking scene was revealed. Behind this golden Buddhist light were hidden skeletal ghostly hands.

The ghostly hands intertwined, writhing in a strange manner, densely spreading toward Sheng Yanlin.

Sheng Yanlin smiled instead of getting angry, squinting his eyes, he raised his Wisdom Staff and pointed heavily at the encroaching Buddhist light ghost hands.

In the next second, an astonishing scene unfolded. The golden Buddhist light instantly shattered, and the high-rank puppet “thump thump thump” retreated three steps in a row, finally being supported by Elder Bone Silence’s single hand from behind.

The site fell into a silence, as this imposing scene was so easily broken, the superiority between both sides was immediately apparent.

At this moment, Yang Xiao, who possessed the spiritual magic artifact Human Bone Staff, could sense the terror of Elder Sheng’s move more than anyone else. To put it simply, if that had been directed at him, he would’ve been directly dealt with.
