Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Huang Chaogui exploded, and Zheng Qian turned to look in the direction where Qin Lieyan was lying.

"The ground is cold at night. Aren't you cold lying there for so long?"

Qin Lieyan met Zheng Qian's gaze through the bushes, his eyes filled with terror.

How did he find me?

It's over. I don't know if it's too late to run now.

Just as Qin Lieyan was thinking about how to escape, a clear and pleasant voice rang out from a large tree not far from him.

"Zheng Qian is the teacher."

Mo Li flew down from the tree and looked at Zheng Qian tenderly.

"The academy is a harmonious family and a sacred place for learning. Your being attacked by demons is the fault of the teachers. Don't have any complaints about the academy. After all, the dean doesn't want to see any conflicts among the students."

Zheng Qian narrowed his eyes. Before he started fighting Huang Chaogui, he sensed a killing intent in the bushes, but he didn't know who was in the bushes. Mo Li's words, however, made him able to guess who it was.

Among the students, besides Qin Lieyan, whom he had trampled on, he couldn't think of anyone else who wanted him dead.

This Qin Lieyan seems to be a ruthless character; in order to gain his loyalty, he actually planned to ambush him in the middle of the night.

If Teacher Mo Li appears tonight and attacks Qin Lieyan, she will definitely stop him. Furthermore, Teacher Mo Li is the daughter of Mo Yuan, a scholar from one of the six major powers in Guangxiang Kingdom; she has powerful backing and is unlikely to incur enmity.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qian smiled and said, "What the teacher said is true. As long as no one comes to cause trouble for me, Zheng Qian, I will never make enemies with anyone."

Just then, several figures rushed towards the back mountain from the academy.

The teachers had already noticed the fight between Zheng Qian and Huang Chaogui, and they were worried that some students might be hurt, so they all came to the back mountain to check.

Mo Li formed hand seals, and streams of water swirled around her. Then she waved her hands, sending hundreds of streams of water rushing towards the area where Huang Chaogui had exploded, dissolving the blood and sprinkling it deep into the forest.

"Someone's coming, let's go!"

After saying that, Mo Li waved her hand, and Huang Chaogui's bow and broadsword flew into her hands. She then pulled Zheng Qian and ran in another direction, disappearing into the night.

If anyone causes trouble, Mo Li should take out her bow and knife and take responsibility for killing Huang Chaogui; this would be the best protection for Zheng Qian.

In Guangxiang Kingdom, apart from the royal family, no one dares to cause her trouble, so Mo Li is fearless.

Qin Lieyan swallowed hard. He knew that Teacher Mo Li had saved his life, so he didn't dare to stay in the same spot and disappeared into the night.

"I didn't see anything tonight. From now on, I, Qin Lieyan, will avoid any place where Zheng Qian appears, and I will take a detour on any street where Zheng Qian appears. Anyone who has a conflict with him is a dog."

Qin Lieyan kept reminding himself that he should never provoke Zheng Qian again, otherwise he would be a dog, a stupid dog.

Tonight's battle taught him a lesson.

Zheng Qian, who is undergoing the Nine Heavens Tribulation, is not someone he can afford to offend.

Not long after the three left, five figures appeared at the scene of the battle, looking at the earth full of sword marks, they were shocked.

"The marks of this sword technique, along with the residual yellow spiritual energy, look like they were cleaved by a domineering celestial force."

“That’s right, it is indeed Huang Chaogui’s Overbearing Heavenly Gang. This kind of knife mark is exactly the same as the one in the Undying Sect.”

An old man touched the damp soil, then grabbed a bit and smelled it before speaking.

"Huang Chaogui is dead. The Overbearing Heavenly Gang Technique is a demonic art that uses blood to nourish itself. The smell of blood in the soil is foul and mixed with different kinds of blood odor, which confirms that it is the Overbearing Heavenly Gang Technique."

At this moment, a middle-aged man flew out of the woods, carrying a sharp arrow with a black shield engraved on it.

The five people exchanged glances, their expressions showing understanding. The old man waved his hand and disappeared from the spot.

"Everyone, disperse. As long as they don't lay a hand on the students, their affairs are none of our business."

The four exchanged glances, looked at the damp soil, and then left.

They could deduce that the spiritual energy came from Huang Chaogui, and naturally they could infer from the damp soil that someone had hastily cleaned up the battlefield using water-based soul techniques.

Who else but Mo Li would dare to kill a guardian, especially one using water-based soul magic?

The battle between the two major powers in Guangxiang Kingdom is something ordinary people like them cannot participate in.

Deep in the back mountain, Mo Li smiled and looked Zheng Qian up and down as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"The prodigy who has undergone the ninefold tribulation is indeed powerful, as he was able to easily kill Huang Chaogui, who was in the Void Spirit Realm."

Zheng Qian spread his hands: "That was his own problem, I didn't kill him."

Reaching out, she tucked the strands of hair that had been ruffled by the night wind behind her ear, a serious look appearing in Mo Li's eyes.

"Zheng Qian, do you know what a prodigy who has passed the Ninefold Tribulation is considered by powerful forces?"

What are prodigies in the eyes of powerful forces?

Zheng Qian really didn't know this. He had read a lot of books these past few days, but he hadn't come across this particular point.

"What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Li slowly said, "If they are disciples of a powerful force, it means they have successors, are the focus of training, are the future successors, and are the guardians of the force. But if they are people outside the force undergoing the Ninefold Tribulation of Lightning..."

After a pause, Mo Li said coldly, "Those outside the power who undergo the Ninefold Tribulation are their enemies, and even more so, their targets for killing, seizing their fortune, and using them as stepping stones to turn the tide of fate."

A night breeze swept in, and Zheng Qian felt the air temperature drop several degrees, making it somewhat chilly.

"So, I am their target, the elixir that will change their fate?"

"Correct."

Mo Li nodded, her eyes filled with worry: "Given Lu Yan's personality, he will definitely kill you to seize your fortune. The Second Prince, Lu Cilin, that hypocrite, will also kill you to seize your fortune. And Ye Tianjue, the young sect master of the Demon Radiance Sect, will stop at nothing to capture you, torture you, and let you die in despair. Other forces will also try every means to capture you so that their descendants can compete for your fortune."

"So, you should leave. I'll send you away from Guangxiang City tonight. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

Zheng Qian looked at the dimly lit Guangxiang City and felt a pang of sadness.

I was just going through a tribulation of lightning, what did I do to deserve this? Why are they all trying to kill me?

A cold glint appeared in his eyes. "I, Zheng Qian, must participate in the Gathering of Heroes and win first place in the martial arts test."

This was not only the path that Ya Lan pointed out to him, but also a task given to him by the abbot who had saved his life and imparted the Dharma to him.

Most importantly, Zheng Qian did not want to back down.

To roam the world with a sword, one must have strength.

Strength is not about avoiding danger, but about solving it.

If they dare to draw their swords, I will kill them; what is there to fear?

Zheng Qian, with a clear mind, said calmly, "Teacher, I will not leave. I want to win first place in the martial arts competition. This is not only my mission, but also my path."

Mo Li's eyes showed anxiety: "Zheng Qian, do you understand the rules of the Heroes' Gathering Martial Arts Trial? Even if you can kill Huang Chaogui and fight ten opponents at the Dragon Shaping Realm, you still won't get first place. Do you understand?"

“I understand. It was a chaotic battle when I was ranked 32nd, and Crown Prince Lu Yan was the pre-selected first place winner. They all wanted to kill me and seize my luck.”

After Zheng Qian finished speaking, he stared at Mo Li and said in the same serious tone.

"Teacher, thank you for your concern, but I'm determined to get first place in the martial arts competition."

After saying that, Zheng Qian turned and left, leaving Mo Li, who was disappointed in him, standing there bewildered in the wind.
