The Legend of the Netherworld

In an instant, Lin Xiao's dagger was suddenly bounced away by an invisible force, leaving a cold light in the air and swirling into the distance.

At the same time, the Shadow Monkey King's mace flashed with golden light and hit Lin Xiao's head with thunderous momentum.

The speed was so fast that Lin Xiao's mind instantly flashed back to the scene of fighting with the dirty Taoist priest, and the oppressive feeling brought by the Dragon Shadow Fist came again.

Faced with such a powerful force, Lin Xiao had no way to cope with it. He felt a sense of powerlessness enveloping his whole body, just like when he faced the dirty Taoist priest, and saw the attack coming right in front of him.

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and decided to take the stick with his body. In a flash, a water shield appeared in front of Lin Xiao, and then the mace was bounced back into the Monkey King's hands.

At this time, the head of Feng Shui Academy stood on top of a big tree, separated from the Shadow Monkey King by the clear water pond, and the two faced each other across the pond.

"The Lord of a Forest attacked the juniors of Jiazi Eighth Realm. Have you forgotten the agreement between us?" The head of the sect said with a look of contempt and a cold tone.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao turned and saluted the headmaster, who waved his hand coldly.

"I don't care who it is. Even if you two brothers come together, you can't do anything to me."

The Shadow Monkey King looked at the Sect Leader with a cold gaze, his voice filled with disdain and fear. "Your disciple slaughtered the wolves in the Ancient Forest and now attacks the snakes. It is only right that I take his life."

"It seems that we need to use our strength to consolidate the agreement today. Otherwise, after these thirty years, the binding force of the agreement will obviously not be enough." The leader said lightly with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Today I also want to see if this agreement is still binding." The Shadow Monkey King sneered and said, "Then how will you deal with the disciples in the pond?"

The Sect Leader looked at Lin Xiao and said softly, "Lin Xiao, you go back to the academy today. I will give you and your senior brother an explanation here." After that, a whisk appeared in the Sect Leader's hand, and he looked at the Monkey King with a firm gaze.

After hearing this, although Lin Xiao was filled with anger, he still saluted the headmaster, then used the "Dragon Swimming Across the Seas" technique to quickly leave the Green Water Pond and disappeared into the woods.

"There is a lack of spiritual energy here, and the soil is not stable enough. Do you dare to go with me to the core of the ancient forest to fight?" The Shadow Monkey King said provocatively.

"We can fight anywhere," the leader said with a firm and confident look.

After saying this, the Shadow Monkey King turned and left, and the leader followed him.

On this day, the sounds of fighting in the core layer of the ancient forest were earth-shaking. All kinds of wonderful secret techniques and martial arts emerged one after another, and the momentum was huge, but the outcome was unknown.

After the battle, the Shadow Monkey King announced that the monkey tribe would always protect the snake tribe in the ancient forest. Killing a snake was like killing a monkey. The news spread to hundreds of kilometers away from the ancient forest.

After leaving the Green Water Pond, Lin Xiao did not immediately rush to the exit of the ancient forest, but instead quickly shuttled through the forest. He wanted to take away all the treasures he had collected in the past three months.

Lin Xiao first arrived at the cave where he had initially hidden. Seeing that the outside was still the same as when he left, he secretly thought to himself, "It seems that my disguise was pretty good."

He removed the weeds that camouflaged the surrounding area, entered the cave, took away the map, fairy jade, old ginseng, immortal vine, the internal energy method "Mind is like a Knife", and Zhang Wentian's necklace, and headed towards the big tree hole.

Lin Xiao shuttled through the forest like a dragon, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. He soon arrived in front of the big tree hole and found that no one had visited it yet.

He pulled aside the weeds that were covering the tree, moved the bark off the tree hole, entered the tree hole, took out the parchment book, fairy jade, old ginseng, and green lotus root, packed them together, and got up to go to the exit of the ancient forest.

In the forest, there was a naked boy with a crew cut and a scar on his face, holding a large package in his hand. He was walking quickly in the forest. The girls along the way blushed when they saw Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao didn't care.

Lin Xiao came to a big tree at the exit. After a moment, only a shadow was left under the tree. He came to the tree, where he had hidden his Taoist robes. He changed into the Taoist robes of Feng Shui Academy.

It was already dark and there were few people at the exit, so Lin Xiao walked out of the exit and headed towards the Feng Shui Academy.

It was late at night when Lin Xiao returned to the academy. He went straight to the cave in the back mountain. The path in the back mountain was overgrown with weeds. Lin Xiao used the "Dragon Body Technique", lifted his feet lightly, and stepped on the tips of the weeds to move forward.

At this time, the thatched hut on the back mountain was also overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that no one had been there in the three months since Lin Xiao left.

He put the package in the cave, then came out and used the "Weapon Control Technique" to weed. The floating dagger was like the scythe of the god of death, judging the life of the weeds. Wherever it went, no grass grew.

Soon, the weeds were cleared and the back mountain returned to its previous appearance, but it seemed extremely quiet.

A wave of thoughts came to Lin Xiao's mind, and Lin Xiao recalled: "The first time I came to the back mountain, the first time I carried water, the first time I practiced martial arts..."

Lin Xiao's eyes were solemn, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in them. He clenched his fists and said softly, "Shadow Monkey King, I will make sure you are buried with me."

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth and gently penetrated the front of the cave. Lin Xiao immediately got up, ate some simple coarse grains, took his books, fairy jade, map, and immortal vine, and went down the mountain to see Lin Jiao, whom he had not seen for almost three months.

Meanwhile, the outskirts of the Ancient Forest were in an uproar. A rumor was spreading by word of mouth: "A mad young man with a crew cut and a scar, shocking the world with his Jiazi Eight Realms. He first slew the Wolf King, earning him fame. Then he slew the Snake King, making him even more unrivaled. He challenged the Monkey King, proving his prowess. Who could challenge him? His pride is unstoppable."

Everyone was discussing the future achievements of this human youth: a flash in the pan or world-renowned? Opinions varied.

Lin Xiao first came to the Sutra Pagoda, which had just been opened. There were no disciples from other sects. When he went upstairs, he found that the administrator was staring at him with a strange look.

But Lin Xiao didn't think much about it, because he never cared about people's opinions.

He went to the top floor by himself, and as expected, as soon as he got there, he saw the Sweeping Monk lying among a pile of books reading.

Lin Xiao smiled, bowed to him, and said, "Thank you for your guidance and help, Taoist priest."

The Sweeping Monk didn't say anything, nor did he look up at Lin Xiao. He just waved his hand expressionlessly.

Lin Xiao then took out the parchment book and the book "Mind Like a Knife" and handed them to the sweeping monk, saying, "I found these two books by chance in the ancient forest. I don't think the Sutra Pagoda has them, so I brought them here for you, Taoist priest."

He continued, "One of them is about the art of controlling weapons."

The sweeping monk suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao, then immediately reached out to take the two books, picked up the parchment book and quickly opened it.

Seeing that his book had been delivered and the favor had been repaid, Lin Xiao stood up and left.

The Sweeping Monk suddenly said, "Wait."

Lin Xiao then turned to look at the sweeping monk and asked doubtfully, "Does the Taoist priest have any instructions?"
