Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

"You have something to tell the academy, and you need to see the dean?"

Murong Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"The headmaster's real body is no longer in Shenwu Mountain, but he did leave a projection of his true essence on Shenwu Mountain. But do you have something important that requires you to see the headmaster?"

"This is a big matter. I apologize for not being able to say more here."

Chen Ku bowed:

"Please take me to see all the teachers and senior leaders of the academy. I will report everything to you."

Murong Cheng pondered for a moment.

Look at Chen Ku again.

To be honest, he was also curious about Chen Ku's rapid progress in practice. Besides, Chen Ku himself was a rising star among the one thousand students in Shenwu Mountain.

I am also qualified to report some things to the college's top management.

"Okay, then I'll take you there."

After the two people left.

Some other palaces also knew the news that Chen Ku had broken through to the ninth realm.

The six men of Yandu gathered together excitedly:
"Brother Chen has reached the ninth realm! Such a big thing, yet he didn't even leak any information to us!"

"It's so perverted that it's not like a human being."

After hearing the news, Tang Xuan and Sang Hensong, two students who were challenged and defeated by Chen Ku in the martial arts training camp, were both hit hard.

"Nine Realms..." Tang Xuan murmured. He felt that he might never be able to get out of Chen Ku's shadow in this lifetime.

………………

The courtyard at the back of Shenwu Mountain.

This is where the masters of various halls live. As the bell rang, many masters from the halls, as well as the deputy headmaster sent by the Martial Temple and Zu Dengfeng, the head coach of the General Hall, all walked into the round table hall one after another.

After coming in, I saw Chen Ku standing alone in front of the round table.

"I heard from Palace Master Murong that Chen Kuni has something very important to report to the court and the academy."

Zu Dengfeng sat in the first seat on the left, and sitting opposite him was Ying Yunqian, the chief priest of the Longyuan Province Martial Temple. Other hall masters and teachers such as those from the Qianyuan Hall, Yinyang Hall and Chan Palace also arrived one after another.

They all looked at Chen Ku with curiosity.

"You have broken through to the ninth realm?" After asking the question, Zu Dengfeng immediately noticed the sound of blood and energy surging from Chen Ku's body like thunder, and was very surprised: "What kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure did you eat?"

All the hall masters also subconsciously had this idea.

"Reporting to the Grandmaster, this is what I want to report. This is related to the technique I am practicing, called 'Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti', which requires collecting five elements of Yin and Yang spiritual objects to accelerate practice. Not long ago, I heard that there is a 'Yin Shen Fruit' in the Five Elements Land, so I asked for leave and went to the Five Elements Land to look for a breakthrough opportunity."

Chen Ku explained the cause and then narrated the following events.
"By chance, I did get the Yin God Fruit, so I successfully made a big breakthrough in my cultivation. But I also encountered other things in the Land of Five Elements. An old man and a young man tried to snatch the Yin God Fruit from me. I had no choice but to kill one of the young men. Later, the young man's protectors kept chasing me, and I almost died. Fortunately, I had a chance to survive and accidentally entered a demon altar in the Land of Five Elements. By chance, I triggered the ritual of the demon altar, and sacrificed the old master who was chasing me to a demon king. I also got this picture from the demon king."

Done.

Before the hall masters, instructors, and deputy deans could think carefully about what he said, Chen Ku took out the map, held it up with both hands, and said:

"This is the map of 'Shura Arsenal'."

The hall masters were still thinking about what Chen Ku said, especially when they heard about the Demon King's Demon Ritual, their faces all changed.

But before they could speak.

Then I saw Chen Ku took out this picture.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"A map of Shura's arsenal?!"

"Is it the map of the Shura Arsenal, one of the Nine Prefectures, Three Storehouses and Six Treasures?"

"really?!"

Almost at the same time, all the hall masters, including Zu Dengfeng and Ying Yunqian, two bigwigs of the imperial court, all stood up from their seats, their eyes attracted by the scroll that Chen Ku was holding in his hands.

Chen Ku held the map in both hands and said, "I don't know whether it is true or not, but the location of the 'Ashura Arsenal' recorded in the map is indeed real. This is a serious matter, and it is a reward from the Heavenly Demon King. I feel it is inappropriate, so I am willing to present this map to the court. Please make the decision, gentlemen and the Palace Master."

"Bring it to me and see!"

Zu Dengfeng did not hesitate and before the people from the other nine sects could speak, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed the scroll in Chen Ku's hand.

The expressions of the elders and teachers from the nine major sects all changed slightly.

They all wanted to see this picture, too.

Shura Arsenal.

It was offered voluntarily. It is impossible for anyone to remain calm when seeing such a pie falling from the sky.

But Zu Dengfeng’s status and position are here.

As a representative sent by the imperial military, the martial arts champion of that year and the former commander of the right army, his strength and cultivation were only slightly weaker than that of the mountain master Li Shentong. They both had the cultivation level of the thirteenth level of breaking the vacuum, and his combat power was even more difficult to say.

Therefore, even if they wanted to be the first to see it, they had to give way to Zu Dengfeng. However, Zu Dengfeng unfolded the blueprint in front of everyone and spent half a cup of tea looking at it.

The other hall masters were getting anxious waiting.

"Master, what do you think? Is it true?" asked the master of Yin Yang Palace.

"Judging from the material and position of this picture, it doesn't seem to be fake."

Zu Dengfeng's face was extremely solemn. He immediately closed the scroll and looked at the chief priest of the Provincial Martial Temple, now the deputy head, and said:
"The chief priest Ying is in charge of the martial arts temple of a province. He is well-informed and knows the history of various countries. Come and take a look."

Handed the scroll to Ying Yunqian.

All the hall masters had to suppress their anxiety.

Ying Yunqian, the head of a province's martial arts temple system, although his cultivation level is not among the top ten in the entire Shenwu Mountain, his status and position are almost above everyone else, and it is indeed as Zu Dengfeng said.

He is in charge of the Martial Temple, which contains all kinds of intelligence and fragments of heaven and earth from all dynasties. He knows a lot about ancient wars and ancient secrets.

Ying Yunqian also took the scroll.

He looked at it carefully.

Another half cup of tea time.

Finally, as if to confirm something, he stretched out a hand and tapped the picture, causing blood-red veins to appear on the picture.

After seeing the bloodshot, the elderly provincial temple chief priest nodded solemnly and confirmed:
"This picture is at least 80% true. Judging from the material of the picture, it has a history of 3,000 years. The material is the 'Shura Leather' that only the people of Shura used back then."

"Master Priest... let us take a look too?" At this time, seeing that Ying Yunqian had also finished reading, the expressions of the other hall masters also became lively, and they all asked: "Can I?"

However, Ying Yunqian exchanged glances with Zu Dengfeng at this time, and did not respond. Instead, he looked at Chen Ku, as if he was intentionally changing the subject, but at the same time he pointed out the part that Chen Ku had avoided in his previous remarks.

Ying Yunqian slowly asked:
"Chen Ku, you seemed to be intentionally hiding the identities of the old man and the young man who were chasing you? Is it inconvenient to say? Or did you offend someone?"

"Disciples don't dare."

Chen Ku bowed, his face normal, and said slowly:

"To be honest, the one who had a conflict with my disciple and was then killed by me one after the other, an old man and a young man, claimed to be from the 'Fighting God Palace'."

I heard Chen Ku casually reveal the identities of the old man and the young man.

The expressions of the several hall masters present could no longer be restrained, and they said in a lost voice:

"Fighting God Palace?!"

"Fighting God Palace!!"

"Is it Hua Qingyun from the Doushen Palace who came to Yandu for a trial not long ago, and Jinxu Nu?"

The nine major sects cooperated with the imperial court to establish the Shenwu Hall, and they were well-informed about the news near Yandu. Moreover, how could they not know about the disciple of Hua Yuexian from the Doushen Palace who came here for the trial?

"Did you really kill Hua Qingyun from the Fighting God Palace?" the master of the Yin Yang Palace hissed.

Chen Ku cupped his hands and said, "That young man indeed calls himself Hua Qingyun."

Quiet.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very quiet.

There are only seven holy places of martial arts in the country, and their historical heritage has gone through five dynasties. They are simply incomparable to any of the nine major sects.

The contemporary fighting god is at the fourteenth realm.

Although Chen Ku seemed expressionless, he was actually observing everyone's reactions.

He noticed that Zu Dengfeng and Ying Yunqian, two bigwigs in the imperial court, did shrink their pupils slightly after he mentioned the Fighting God Palace, but immediately, they simultaneously focused their gazes on the 'Ashura Arsenal' in their hands.

Finally, Zu Dengfeng said in a deep voice:

"Chen Ku, let me ask you, if the person you killed was not from the Doushen Palace, would you still be willing to hand over this Shura Arsenal to the imperial court?"

These words almost made it clear what Chen Ku was thinking. He wanted to use the Shura Arsenal to get the court to support him.

Chen Ku replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Of course I will, but please let me tell you the truth. The reason I will is that I feel that treasures like the Shura Arsenal are not something I can explore and master alone. Moreover, I don't trust the Demon King, but I do trust the imperial court."

Zu Dengfeng was silent for a while after listening to Chen Ku's straightforward words.

Chen Ku added: “At the same time, I don’t think that as a master of Daji Wu and a member of Shenwu Academy, I will need to pay something in order to get the support of the court.”

"well said!"

Zu Dengfeng seemed to be touched, and suddenly slammed the table and shouted:

"You are a member of the imperial court, and you have the reputation of the imperial court. Now you are the most outstanding student in the Shenwu Academy. You don't need to be afraid of the Doushen Palace. The imperial court will naturally make the decision for you in this matter. If someone from the Doushen Palace comes, let him come. The imperial court is standing behind you!"

Chen Ku took a deep breath and knew that his guess was correct. No matter what the circumstances, the Grand Master of Jiwu and the student of Shenwu Hall on him were both a matter of face for the Ji State.

It is impossible for us to do something self-defeating and trample on the country's prestige and dignity because of the Fighting God Palace.

"Thank you very much, Master." Chen bowed bitterly.

Zu Dengfeng stood up and said, "Okay, Master Ying and I need to discuss this matter with the mountain head projection. When we have a result, we will inform the other hall masters." (End of this chapter)
