Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

"Chi Rong."

"Chi Rong?"

Guan Xun sat cross-legged on the bed. The fire in the courtyard had long been extinguished, and the others in the dormitory had fallen asleep again.

She ate a lot of meat before she felt more energetic and less tired.

He called out softly a few times, but received no response. Guan Xun frowned. Could it be that Chi Rong had fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy?

She is not strong enough right now. If she encounters the Divine Master going crazy again, she will probably have a hard time escaping. If Chi Rong were here, he could help her a little.

It seems that starting tomorrow, I will have to stay in the training tower to train, so that I can increase my strength and allow Crimson Fusion to grow rapidly.

"Owner……"

As she was fuming, a deep, hoarse male voice echoed in her mind, each word tinged with weakness.

"Phew..." Guan Xun let out a long sigh of relief. "You're still awake? I called you a few times and you didn't respond. I thought you had turned back into your old self."

"Pretty much. The spiritual energy here is too weak to support the energy I'm using." Chi Rong paused, then added, "Master is still alive, that's wonderful."

"Hmm." Guan Xun frowned and nodded. "I didn't expect to fall into the Black Sea and actually come back to life. What happened to you? You were reborn along with me."

After speaking, there was no response for a long time. Just when Guan Xun thought he would not hear an answer, Chi Rong finally spoke. However, his voice was even weaker and lower than before, and he seemed to be about to pass out at any moment.

"Although I don't know the reason, it may be related to that man. At that time, you sent me out on an errand, and on the way, I suddenly sensed that the connection between us was intermittent, and soon the connection was completely lost."

"When I got back into the country..."

Chi Rong fell silent mid-sentence. Guan Xun sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Was it related to that man? Was he referring to... the Imperial Tutor?

Never mind, we can ask again later. Anyway, it's good that Chi Rong hasn't fallen into a deep sleep.

Inside the Moonfall Pavilion in the Imperial City.

A young man in purple robes with black hair was sitting by the window, holding a white jade flute in his hand. His fingertips danced back and forth on the notes of the flute, seemingly serious but he did not play it.

"Oh, where has the master gone? The old man just sent someone over to urge him," he sighed.

The complaint had barely faded when he sensed a strong aura surging behind him. Overjoyed, he tossed aside his flute and jumped off the windowsill.

"My lord, you're back."

"What is it?" the Imperial Tutor asked calmly.

"Old... His Majesty just sent someone over, saying that he will be going to the hunting grounds tomorrow and needs you to prepare seven days' worth of pills." The young man scratched his head and said, feeling troubled by the old man's poor health and the fact that he had to travel around.

The Imperial Tutor lightly stepped to the pill shelf, his fingertips sweeping across the pill boxes: "Bai Liao".

He suddenly called out.

The boy called Bai Liao immediately perked up his ears, dropped his carefree demeanor, and became serious.

It had been thousands of years since the Imperial Tutor had called him by his name. At that time, he was being chased by his enemies and accidentally wandered into a forbidden area. He was saved by the Imperial Tutor when he was on the verge of death.

From then on, he followed along and carried out his duties. It was on that day that he received his own name.

"My lord, please speak." Bai Liao's tone was very serious, as if he was prepared to go through fire and water.

"Go to Qianshan Academy."

"Go to the academy...?" He was slightly taken aback, looking at the Imperial Tutor with some confusion, unable to understand the meaning behind it.

"Found it, it's in the academy." The Imperial Tutor stacked the seven boxes in his hands, turned around and walked to a pill-refining platform, where he sat down cross-legged.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Bai Liao was immediately shocked and involuntarily shouted, "Found it?!"

Thousands of years ago, he came to the continent of the Imperial Domain with the Imperial Tutor. He had only one mission: to find a divine beast that had not yet taken human form—the Holy Nether Crimson Python.

The Imperial Tutor once said that he could sense that the crimson python was on this continent, but he could not pinpoint its exact location, so he ordered him to search every inch of the land.

However, this search lasted for thousands of years without any results. Just a few months ago, the Imperial Tutor suddenly sensed a strong aura of the Holy Nether Crimson Python in the direction of the Illusionary Fall Forest. The moment it appeared, he went to search for it, but still found nothing.

It was actually hidden within the Thousand Mountains Academy? But the Holy Nether Crimson Python is quite large; surely the elders in the academy couldn't have missed it?

Bai Liao stroked his chin, hesitatingly asking, "Could that crimson python... be hiding underground in the academy?"

So… the Imperial Tutor means he wants him to tear the academy apart? Bai Liao tilted his head to look at the Imperial Tutor, somewhat uncertain.

"On one of the students." As he said this, the Imperial Tutor paused slightly, and the dark blue flame dancing in his palm dimmed a little.

"It's transformed? That's easy, I'll just find it!"

Transformation? If that's the case, it would indeed be easier to handle. The Imperial Tutor initially thought so too, which is why he went directly to the academy to find someone.

But when he saw that the Holy Nether Crimson Python could actually leap directly out of the woman's body, he realized that things were not so simple.

The Holy Crimson Python, apart from lacking a physical body, still looked the same as it did millions of years ago, but it no longer carried what it was looking for.

That substance was actually flowing in the woman's blood.

No wonder that since that day a few months ago, his usually calm perception suddenly fluctuated violently, and after that, he could no longer sense the location of that thing.

Even the celestial divination was blank; nothing could be calculated.

If the woman hadn't been injured that day, he probably would never have been able to find her again.

Since the red python was not transformed, the woman must be human.

He cannot harm humans with his own hands.

Seven jet-black pills floated in the dark blue flames in the Imperial Tutor's palm. He clenched his fingers, the flames dissipated, and he gently tossed the pills into the jade box. The seven pills then found their way to the box and lay down on their own.

After doing all this, he parted his thin lips slightly and said in a calm voice, "Release the things from the Mountain God Pavilion, but don't let anyone find out."

Bai Liao's gray-brown eyes widened instantly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He coughed a few times, "My lord? This..."

The Imperial Tutor remained silent, his slender fingers tapping in the air, causing the seven jade boxes to close automatically with a series of clicks.

He stood up again, his robes swaying slightly, and disappeared from the spot.

Bai Liao looked at the neatly arranged jade boxes, sighed, shook his head, and went over to tidy them up.

He didn't know what grudge the Imperial Tutor had with that Sacred Crimson Python, but he knew everything about what was inside the Mountain God Pavilion.

Release it?

That's not someone anyone can afford to mess with...
