Chapter 939: It’s Over
Black Cloud Academy
At the main peak of the territory within the academy, in an ancient mansion where the said bedridden former principal resides, the Moon Goddess had just used acupuncture on the man sleeping on the bed. This man was none other than Wu Yao, the former principal of the Black Cloud Academy and the master of Yue Xuexia. The acupuncture treatment on Wu Yao had taken quite a few hours and the bed was covered in dirty, black blood excreted from the skin of Wu Yao. Not far from the bed, on the side table, a glass bottle had imprisoned a glass colored bug.
This bug is something called Gu and its name is silver century cicada gu. A Life Gu that is used by the Miao Tribe as a bug that can protect its owner’s life once. It’s an extra life however the process to tame it would cause at least someone’s cultivation for a hundred years. During these years, the owner must eat a lot of nourishing and life-extending treasures to ensure there wouldn’t be any backlash. But Wu Yao is not someone from the Miao Tribe so he didn’t know the process to tame this little one causing his whole body to break down and almost died because of it.
There is also the fact that someone had been poisoning Wu Yao ever since he was bedridden and this poison is called Blood Seed Poison. A poison that slowly destroys one’s body and then the soul, causing someone who was affected by it to go insane and become a madman without any sanity. Maybe the little Gu had noticed his master’s state that it protected him all these years. Due to this, its energy had been bottomed and the backlash of his existence in Wu Yao had caused him to feel sickly.
Thankfully, Yue Xuexia had arrived on it. If not for her detoxifying the poison and the Life Gu’s effort on protecting his mind, Wu Yao would have most likely become a madman that can only kill with a strong desire for blood. If that truly happens then his reputation as the principal would have changed and the ownership of the Black Cloud Academy would be lost completely.
The Moon Goddess used her qi to lift the sleeping Wu Yao and placed him on the sofa as she made some puppet on the spot to clean the room and clean up Wu Yao as well as have his clothes changed.
"Clean up the room, change the bedsheet, pillow cases and blanket. It cannot be used anymore so burn it to ashes. This poison is something that cannot be spread. Bath this man and change his clothes before bringing him back to the clean bed," Yue Xuexia ordered as she headed out of the room leaving Wu Yao for the puppet maids to handle.
She went out of the mansion and realized what was happening within the academy.
The Moon Goddess mumbles, "Anyway with Jueyang with them they should be safe at least."
Then she noticed the two subordinates of hers shouldn’t be in the academy at this time. After all, the Evernight Manor and the Pill Tower had no direct contact with the Black Cloud Academy. She realized that Hei Yu and Su Kan were looking for her. Seeing that they were about to be treated as an enemy, the Moon Goddess sighed. She spread her divine consciousness and spoke to the people surrounding the two idiots.
At the entrance of the Black Cloud Academy...
A group of teachers were surrounding Hei Yu and Su Kan, treating them as enemies when suddenly the familiar voice of the Moon Goddess resounded in the whole area near them. The voice is cold, yet calm saying,
{My name is Yuelei Xuexia. The disciple of their former principal, Wu Yao. Those two with you are my people. Please send them to the main peak where I am right now.}
All people under Wu Zhou were people from the Wu Clan and most of them were formerly subordinates of the First Master, Wu Yao. After Lord Wu Yao had fallen sick, his younger brother took over and led them. To them as long as their master is alive, they will never betray the Wu Brothers. Now they had another master, a young miss who is the only disciple of Lord Wu Yao. A disciple can be considered as one’s own child. So the people of Wu Clan, especially the ones under the command of the Wu brothers, treat Yue Xuexia as their young miss.
"Yes, Young Miss!"
Hei Yu and Su Kan were brought before the Moon Goddess. Still veiled as usual, their Mistress was waiting outside for their arrival. Upon seeing her, Hei Yu and Su Kan fell on one knee and saluted her.
"We greet the mistress!"
"Stand up, you two. What are you doing here?" The Moon Goddess asked.
The two silly geese looked so embarrassed as they didn’t know how to explain things. However, Yue Xuexia can read them too well and sigh.
She said, "You came to watch the fun, didn’t you? But it’s a waste of time, Jueyang was already there. There is nothing you can do there."
The two men looking like an uncle when standing beside the Moon Goddess flinched. It seems that Yue Xuexia had indeed guessed things right and these two come to the academy to find her and at the same time join the fun. The fun thing they are talking about is the faction war within the academy. On their way, they had already seen an old man being chased by Principal Wu Zhou, that’s also the reason why the people were guiding them and immediately disappeared after sending them over to this mountain peak. They need to join the battle of factions.
Now caught by their own masters, the two old men whose overall age was only a quarter of Yue Xuexia were bowing their heads in guilt. Seeing this the Moon goddess didn’t know why her system had given her these people as her subordinates.
"Alright. I will not scold you but... can you go buy some groceries for me? I want to cook dinner. As a reward you can eat as well. My cooking is all Spirit Food~." The Moon Goddess said. "This is the grocery list and the spirit stones. Are you willing to go?"
Looking at the two dumbfounded men in front of her, she knew that they were confused about suddenly being asked to go to buy some groceries but when they heard that it would be Spirit Food, their eyes started glowing. Spirit Chef are so rare that only Ancient Clans, powerful sects and big empires monopolized them. Who wouldn’t like to have someone who can cook food that is not only delicious but also helps you increase your strength?
Before the Goddess of the Moon could react, the grocery list in her hand was snatched by Su Kan while the storage bag of spirit stones was taken away by Hei Yu. The two left flying after getting their errand while saying their goodbye to their Mistress.
"Mistress, we will buy everything. Please don’t worry!"
"Brother, we should head to the Wet Market, that place has the freshest seafood source."
"Fly faster. There is a lot to buy."
Seeing the two uncles leave for an errand, Yue Xuexia returned to the mansion to refine some healing pills and medicines just in case. After all, a faction war will not end up simple. There would definitely be death, and injuries. She needed to prepare. Also, the medicinal diet for her master must be cooking ahead of time in case he wakes up later.
"Two Silly Old Men. Sigh~ better start making master’s medicine first. Also feed Little Gu with some longevity pills to heal it or would life energy be better?" said Yue Xuexia as she returned inside the mansion.
On the other hand, the situation outside the Main Peak which is protected by a defensive formation, most of the mountain peaks had been half flattened. Some of the school buildings either had a roof missing or burned down. The fight of the factions had caused that much destruction to the academy. Thankfully, all students were sent out by Wu Zhou and no students were harmed. Some extremely bad teachers were weeded out during this faction battle as well which is a good result if one thought about it properly.
It seems that with the interference of Shen Jueyang, no one in the faction of the Wu Brothers had died, being injured isn’t something they can avoid in this kind of battle at least they are able to keep their lives. It’s not like they would die even if they suffered fatal wounds. After all, the Divine Doctor is in the academy and they can be saved.
At some ruined forestry area, the arrogant Supreme Elder, now defeated while surrounded by Wu Zhou and his people, looks like he has aged more than his original age. It seems that he had used a forbidden technique that sacrificed his lifespan. His lifespan, already short, had been wasted when using the forbidden technique that was supposed to drag down his enemies. Unfortunately for him, with the Immortal Sun Emperor around, such action is simply a waste of time.
The Supreme Elder is now on the ground unable to escape. He now looks like a dying old man who is only bones and skin. Currently, glaring at Wu Zhou and Shen Jueyang who was leaning at the nearby tree completely lost interest in seeing the scene.
"It’s over, Supreme Elder. Just give up," said Wu Zhou.
