Chapter 332 Shocking! The Forgotten River Academy is actually the biggest mastermind behind everything!?

Li Ang's words undoubtedly had a great impact on Zhao Yan.

For him, his senior sister was his weakest point, and the owner of the handwriting in front of him actually said that he had a way to let them meet ahead of time. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.

But given the other party's unclear origins, he certainly couldn't believe everything they said.

Moreover, as long as he continues to wait according to the plan, he will eventually be able to wait for his senior sister to recover.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, the once powerful seeker of the Dharma finally chose to refuse: "I appreciate your kindness, but you need not trouble yourself with this matter."

As he spoke, the blood-red figure behind Zhao Yan raised his hands again.

Having rejected the other party's offer, he naturally couldn't just let them go.

As for taking that little girl beside him as his apprentice...
Zhao Yanxin wasn't so naive as to entrust the sect's legacy to a guy of unknown origin, let alone someone who had come to him of his own accord.

However, just as the Rejuvenating Blood Body was about to make a move, new words appeared before his eyes.

[Under normal circumstances, you probably won't live to see your senior sister recover.]

After Zhao Yan deciphered the contents of the writing, he immediately frowned: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

[The literal meaning is beyond my ability to elaborate further; I believe you understand.]

"."

Is this yet another punishment under the law of causality?
Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering for a moment about the origin of the handwriting.

But if what the other party said is true, wouldn't that mean he really can't see his senior sister?

Upon realizing this, the Supreme Being of the Wangchuan Academy had an uncertain expression.

Just as he was hesitating, the content of the handwriting changed again.

It's okay if you don't believe me; judging by the timeline, it should be soon anyway.

During this time, you can teach this little girl some basic knowledge about the world of supernatural powers.

[You've waited this long, surely a little more time won't make a difference, right?]

Looking at the handwriting before him, Zhao Yan fell silent.

A moment later, he dispelled his Rejuvenating Blood Body, scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Hahaha, I hope you won't take those things to heart."

"This concerns my senior sister, so I have no choice but to be cautious."

After much deliberation, he decided to take the girl in first and see if it was true, as she said, that he couldn't wait until his senior sister's recovery.

This time, however, the writing did not respond, as if what had just happened was an illusion.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan didn't take it seriously. He knew that the other party was probably still secretly watching how things would develop.

This ability is really convenient. If he had this ability, he wouldn't have to stay in Sanchuan Town pretending to be an ordinary person.

With a hint of envy, Zhao Yan looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, who looked nervous.

He scratched his cheek, then asked somewhat awkwardly, "How about I make you a dough figurine?"

It's no wonder he acted this way, after all, he had just been yelling at this little girl to kill her.

Seeing the girl shake her head, Zhao Yan sighed helplessly: "Fine, come with me first. We need to figure out how to deal with the trouble you've caused."

He hadn't forgotten that the gang of thugs had their eyes on this little girl. If he didn't find a way to get rid of them, he probably wouldn't have any peace for a while.

Although it wouldn't be difficult for him to take down that group with his supernatural abilities, it would undoubtedly increase the risk of exposure.

Fortunately, there is another magic corpse in Sanchuan Town right now, so let that guy do it.

With this in mind, Zhao Yan began searching for his kind.

He soon found the other person in a secluded alley.

However, upon seeing what the other party was doing, Zhao Yan's expression instantly turned icy cold: "Stay close."

After saying that, he rushed towards his destination without waiting for Bai Xiaoxiao's reaction.

Soon, the two arrived at the alley.

However, when Bai Xiaoxiao saw the scene in the alley, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

At that moment, in her line of sight, a monster with the body of a harpy and the face of a human was gnawing on the corpses of two children.

Without a doubt, this monster was the same corpse that the people around him had mentioned.

Bai Xiaoxiao then realized that not all Dharma Corpses had a bottom line like Three-Eyed and Zhao Yan; most were monsters like the Dharma Corpse in front of her.

Seemingly sensing something amiss, the harpy-faced mage raised its head and looked towards the alley entrance with a hint of confusion.

At the same time, a voice devoid of any emotion rang out in the alley.

"It seems you've forgotten all my instructions."

Upon hearing this, the unknown corpse looked at the cold-faced young man at the alley entrance, and beads of sweat immediately rolled down its ugly face. It hurriedly explained, "It's...it's Brother Yan."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Spare me! Spare me this time!"

Before the corpse could finish speaking, a blood-red figure appeared behind it and grabbed its head.

Feeling the immense force coming from his head, the fear in the corpse's heart began to grow wildly like weeds.

Just as Bai Xiaoxiao was shocked by the infighting among the corpses, Zhao Yan's voice suddenly entered her ears: "Since you will be by my side for a while, you should first learn about my rules."

It's better to clarify some things before starting a collaboration to avoid unpleasantness later on.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Yan continued, "I will not take the lives of the elderly, children, women, or infants."

“Even if I’m really hungry, I will only take life from the wicked. I hope you can do the same.”

However, as he spoke, he fell silent.

He has indeed always adhered to these rules, but as time goes on, his bottom line seems to be getting lower and lower.

From initially only killing the most heinous criminals, to now taking the lives of even those who don't deserve to die, the true blood of all karma seems to be turning him into the very thing he hated most in his youth.

But as long as he retains his self-awareness, he will not break these rules on his own initiative.

Just as Zhao Yan was feeling conflicted about this, he heard the girl beside him say, "Coco, I'm not a magic corpse."

"?"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Master of the Wangchuan Academy subconsciously turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he couldn't help but feel a little bewildered.

No, not a Dharma Corpse? Then where did this innate divine power, which only a Dharma Corpse can awaken, come from?
Why can an ordinary person transform into a Dharma corpse?!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan instantly realized that something was wrong.

Before he could even ask, Bai Xiaoxiao took the initiative to tell him what had happened in Black Mountain Village.

After listening to the girl's story, Zhao Yan was at a loss for words.

This poor girl.

He didn't think those villagers were innocent people; if he were passing by, most of them would have died too.

But if that's the case, then it would explain why this little girl has no trace of a magical corpse aura, yet she possesses innate supernatural abilities.

Thinking of this, a certain string in Zhao Yan's heart loosened slightly.

Given this young girl's abilities, she would likely be given special attention and training in most sects that cultivate spiritual arts. Moreover, based on my observations, she also has the potential to awaken her innate divine power, so having her inherit the [Forgotten River Academy] seems like a good choice indeed.

The premise is that there is no interference from the owner of the handwriting.

Thinking of the girl's mysterious elder, Zhao Yan sighed inwardly.

Before you're sure what the other party wants to do, it's best to hold back for now.

After a brief silence, Zhao Yan said, "Let's use our supernatural powers on this guy and see if we can control it."

Since this little girl is just an ordinary person, he can change his approach.

He finds it more acceptable to cooperate with ordinary people than to be an uncontrollable corpse.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and began to activate [Borrowing Yuan True Eye].

Seemingly sensing the impending danger, the unknown corpse began to struggle violently, its appearance constantly changing.

Eagle-bodied human-faced, snake-bodied human-faced, ape-bodied human-faced.
Its innate supernatural power is that it can be transformed into a bird or a beast.

Unfortunately, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. How could a mere corpse that doesn't even qualify as a medium-level supernatural being possibly be a match for the Resurrection Blood Body?

As the crimson light entered its body, the corpse began to tremble uncontrollably.

Unlike when she manipulated the villagers in Black Mountain Village, Bai Xiaoxiao now felt incredibly strained.

Fortunately, this corpse was not Zhao Yan after all, and soon a blood-red pupil appeared on its forehead.

After successfully controlling the corpse, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

That is to say, she had already been strengthened by Li Ang, otherwise, she, who could not even be considered a seeker of the law, would obviously not have been able to control a magic corpse.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan raised an eyebrow: "You succeeded?"

"Hmm," Bai Xiaoxiao nodded weakly, "It's just that I can't use its innate supernatural powers; I can only control its limbs."

"pity."

What a waste!
Li Ang, who was hiding in the [Heavenly Palace], was speechless when he heard the conversation between the two.

If the [Borrowing True Eye] can even manipulate supernatural powers, it might as well be renamed [Selfless Dharma Form], since this supernatural power belonging to the strongest lackey of all professions can indeed do this.

With a somewhat speechless expression, Li Ang glanced at his body, which was slowly recovering from its injuries under the effect of [Triple Rebirth], and let out a barely perceptible sigh.

This was the causal punishment he suffered not long ago when he talked with Zhao Yan, after all, this guy had a deep connection with that Daoless Extreme Law Demon Lord.

In some ways, Zhao Yan could be considered the other party's second master, and the [Returning Heaven Blood Body] is also one of the key points for the Three True Methods to overcome all obstacles in the future.

Fortunately, based on the current development, that Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Law still has a chance to learn the [Return to Heaven Blood Body], which is why the law of cause and effect did not directly kill him.

Of course, Li Ang had already anticipated this. If Zhao Yan had agreed to his proposal directly, he would have left behind the manual of the [Return to Heaven Blood Body] to prevent any unexpected situations.

After all, as long as the [Returning Heaven Blood Body] reaches Gao Haoguang, who is also the Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Extreme Law, he will be able to refine it successfully.

It's not because of talent, but because that's how a certain storyteller wrote it.

What? Grandmaster Haoguang obtained the [Return to Heaven Blood Body] manual?
That makes things easier. Since Master Haoguang didn't explicitly say whether he had learned it or not, then he definitely has!

Recalling the other party's actions, Li Ang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

However, it must be said that the [Return to Heaven Blood Body] technique has a lot of room for maneuver, which is one of the reasons why he had Bai Xiaoxiao join the Wangchuan Academy of Arts.

Anyway, as long as no one witnesses, we can just make things up under the cover of the [Da Luo Dong Guan].

Just like Zhao Yan.

Although this guy did die in the original work, no one actually witnessed his death.

When things develop to that point, he has many ways to circumvent the law of cause and effect.

The same applies to Shangguan Xiao.

The only thing that Li Ang found a little regrettable was that Shangguan Xiao had a deep connection with that storyteller, and at certain times he still had to ask her to do something.

It's even possible that they might die.

As for now
Just as Zhao Yan was carefully instructing Bai Xiaoxiao on how to control the corpse to kill the gang of thugs, a bronze mask fell out of thin air in front of them.

This mask can help you conceal your identity.

Looking at the words fluttering in the wind, Zhao Yan couldn't help but scratch his head.

He was thinking, wouldn't wearing a mask attract more attention?

With some strange thoughts in his mind, he picked up the mask and handed it to Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao took the mask, examined it briefly, and a sudden realization dawned on her.

[After putting on this mask, you will no longer be Bai Xiaoxiao, but the current supreme master of the Wangchuan Academy.]

Upon hearing the voice echoing in her heart, the girl's face immediately darkened.

This isn't some kind of enlightenment; it's clearly just that person constantly muttering to themselves.

However, in the end, she still chose to put on the mask in her hand.

As Bai Xiaoxiao put on the mask, Zhao Yan suddenly realized that she had disappeared from his perception.

The person is right in front of me, but my perception is completely blank.

"."

This little girl's elders have such good things!?
Zhao Yan couldn't help but scratch his head, then asked with a slightly ingratiating tone, "Could you give me one too?"

Yours is still in progress.

"That's it"

Looking at the handwriting in front of him, the young man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

This is obviously fake.

With Li Ang's current production capacity, he can easily make a lot of these small props.

The reason Zhao Yan wasn't included was simply because there was another big show later on that required him to act, and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't reveal her true identity in that show.

Li Ang dared not even imagine what would happen if that tyrannical demon lord discovered that the little girl was not dead.

To be honest, he wasn't even sure if the punishment of causality would occur.

After all, Bai Xiaoxiao was indeed dead, but he had brought her back to life.

Just as the two, one big and one small, finished their discussion and decided to take advantage of the darkness to eliminate the gang of thugs, Zhao Yan suddenly froze on the spot.

He looked at his left arm, which bore a pale blue hand seal, and his expression immediately became extremely serious.

"Three Truths Chasing the Void Seal"

This was a mark planted by his old friend to prevent certain seekers of the Dharma and those who were actually corpses from resurrecting.

Just like him.

Once this happens, the mark will guide the disciples of the Three Truths to the region where the mark holder is located.

Then these beings will be punished by Heaven.
