Chapter 255: Mei Gongzi Is Taken Away
The Dark Raven Demon King grunted, instinctively stepping back. His eyes widened in shock, “The pinnacle of the tenth order!”
Indeed, the cultivation displayed by Li Si had reached the upper limit of the Demon King level. One more step, and he would enter the realm of Great Demon King.
The bloodline tier of the Radiant Tiger was not something the Dark Raven could match. The Dark Raven excelled in reconnaissance and assassination. In direct combat, even three Dark Raven Demon Kings might not match a single Radiant Tiger Demon King, much less one at the peak of his order.
“Enough!” Just then, an aged voice sounded, seemingly coming from all directions. Its faint pressure made both darkness and light recede.
“The decree of the Ancestral Court must not be defied. Let Little Mei go with them. There will be no harm,” the aged voice echoed, carrying a somewhat ethereal tone.
Hearing this voice, even the defiant Radiant Tiger King showed a hint of respect. “Understood.”
The commotion at the academy naturally reached Mei Gongzi’s ears. She had also noticed the changes in the sky earlier and understood that something significant had occurred in the city, likely related to the auction.
Mei Gongzi slowly emerged from the building and approached the Dark Raven Demon King. Without a glance at Wang Yan, she nodded to the Dark Raven Demon King. “Let’s go.”
The Radiant Tiger King, Li Si, eyed the Dark Raven Demon King with a cold gaze. “If you harm a student of my academy, hmph!”
All higher academies held a transcendent status among the demon clans, to the extent that even city lords could not directly command an academy to act against its rules. Higher academies were directly governed by the Ancestral Court—meaning that the academy deans were, in a way, directly appointed by the Ancestral Court.
Without a word, the Dark Raven Demon King turned and left. Just as the Radiant Tiger King, Li Si, disliked him, Dai Yangning equally detested this individual radiating an aura of light.
Mei Gongzi followed Wang Yan and the Dark Raven Demon King.
From the woods next to the main academic building, a figure quietly emerged, watching them leave with furrowed brows. The broom in his hand had turned to dust at some point.
Tang San had not left the school yet. After parting with Mei Gongzi, he had remained at Kali Academy.
The crisis the Discerning Eye of Heaven signaled, combined with the increasing gloom over Kali City, weighed heavily on his heart. He harbored an ominous premonition that lingered in his mind. Under such circumstances, how could he leave Mei Gongzi’s side easily?
And indeed, when the Dark Raven Demon King and Wang Yan arrived together, he instantly realized something was amiss. As expected, Mei Gongzi was taken away.
Only in matters concerning Mei Gongzi did Tang San find his composure easily shaken. Thus, he had to consciously remind himself to face the situation calmly.
This was the first time Tang San had seen the Radiant Tiger King, who served as both the Dean of Instruction and Vice-Principal of Kali Academy… and as it turned out, he had strength beyond Tang San’s expectations. Moreover, the aged voice from the shadows seemed to have even greater power, likely at the level of a Great Demon King. Truly, the academy was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
Tang San knew that if not for the concealment provided by his divine consciousness and the fortune from his Celestial Fox Transformation, he would have likely been detected by the powerful beings within the academy long ago. His cautiousness had not been in vain, and now he knew he had to be even more careful.
Gazing in the direction Mei Gongzi had left, Tang San took a deep breath. At that moment, two streaks of light flashing across the sky towards the Kali Mountains caught his attention.
Both streaks of light shone brilliantly, each carrying an immensely powerful aura. Their terrifying and splendid momentum headed straight for the depths of the Kali Mountains.
That was…
From the conversation of the Dark Raven Demon King and what Mei Gongzi had mentioned to him about the Ancestral Court before their hunt for the Flash Leopard King, Tang San surmised that it was probably the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor who had made a move.
This level of Demon Emperor was a title given to twelfth-order demons and nymphs in this world, comparable to a First Class God in the divine realm he once belonged to. The only difference is that they did not possess a god seat, so they were probably a little weaker. Yet, for the Daemon Continent and the entire planet of Falan, they were the apex of existence.
The Peacock Great Demon King is at the eleventh order, while the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor is at the twelfth. Are they about to engage in battle?
Tang San naturally wasn’t concerned about the lives of these two; his worry was whether Mei Gongzi would be alright. Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏(.)co𝒎
After a brief moment of thought, Tang San swiftly rose and sprinted in the direction the Dark Raven Demon King and Mei Gongzi had taken off.
***
Once outside Kali Academy, the Dark Raven Demon King conjured a thick black mist around himself, enveloping both Mei Gongzi and Wang Yan, and soared into the sky, heading straight back to the city lord’s mansion.
At that moment, the Dark Raven Demon King suddenly felt a prickling sensation on his back, as if something had set its sights on him, and sensed a profoundly intense threat looming unseen.
Instinctively, he controlled the black clouds, elevating his alertness to the maximum. Could it be that the Radiant Tiger King, Li Si, sought to confront him after leaving Kali Academy?
He was somewhat aware of Li Si’s personality; after all, the commotion he had caused within the Radiant Tiger clan was infamous, a well-known scandal. Li Si was indeed a fearless individual, and he was not afraid of trouble.
At that very moment, Mei Gongzi suddenly moved without warning. Silver light burst forth from her body, and the peacock feathers on her back exploded, transforming into streaks of silver radiance that thrust at Dai Yangning.
Dai Yangning had never imagined that this seemingly delicate and frail girl, appearing no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, would choose to strike at him at such a moment, much less that she would have such power. This was utterly inconceivable to him.
Due to Wang Yan’s influence, he had already developed a disdainful view of the direct descendants of the Peacock Demon lineage. If Wang Yan, a legitimate descendant, was such a spineless worm, how could a mere half-blood girl be anything special?
Yet, this very girl had suddenly lashed out, launching a surprise attack on him.
Mei Gongzi’s sneak attack came abruptly and from close quarters, leaving even a god-level demon like Dai Yangning no time to dodge.
Still, a tenth-order demon was not to be underestimated. In an instant, Dai Yangning’s body became ethereal, allowing the silver light to pierce through him as if entering a dense mist. The space around him seemed glued together, rendering it impossible for the energy to disperse. However, the dark mist enveloping Mei Gongzi and Wang Yan noticeably thinned.
With a swift movement, Mei Gongzi teleported dozens of meters away. Her peacock feathers unfurled into wings, flapping and carrying her tender body away at breakneck speed.
“Scoundrel!” Dai Yangning’s eyes flickered with rage as he raised his right hand, reaching toward Mei Gongzi. Suddenly, from the void, a large hand formed from black mist, endowed with a powerful suction force that pulled Mei Gongzi backward.
Just then, a vine suddenly swept in, silently wrapping around Mei Gongzi’s slender waist. A fierce pull from the other end of the vine forcefully changed her direction, sending her flying off in a different direction.
Simultaneously, bolts flew through the air, emitting a piercing screech. Glistening with a blinding silver light, these bolts seemed to flicker ethereally in mid-air.
Their target was not Dai Yangning, however, but Wang Yan.
These bolts were unlikely to do anything to a Demon King, but Wang Yan was quite far from being one.
Empowered by space itself, the bolts almost instantly reached their target. Dai Yangning’s black mist hand was about to pursue Mei Gongzi, but as he sensed the bolts, he had no choice but to give that up. The hand of black mist flickered and then repositioned itself in front of Wang Yan.
