Chapter 189 - Eighty Thousand Characters In The World, All Are Honored by Me
【Ye Yu’s voice instantly spread throughout the area.】
【Hundreds of cultivators heard it loud and clear!】
【Feng Xianshi, the Academy Master of Ji Xia Academy, had a flash of joy in his eyes.】
【So you finally admitted it?】
【Now it would be reasonable to execute you!】
【On the other side, Ye Qingyu and He Jieying’s faces turned ashen.】
【You foolish boy, how could you admit to such things in front of so many people?】
【Could it be that you came here to die?】
【Peng Lu seized the opportunity and said sternly, Good, it turns out this matter is indeed true.】
【Since ancient times, righteousness and evil cannot coexist.】
【You, as a disciple of the righteous path, have become a dao companion with the leader of the demonic path. Isn’t this collusion? What punishment do you think you deserve for this?】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.】
【In the quiet environment, this laughter sounded particularly abrupt.】
【Just as Peng Lu was about to speak again, Ye Yu suddenly stepped on Daoist Yan, killing him on the spot.】
【Such a scene was completely unexpected by everyone present.】
【Ye Yu’s actions against others had already broken the rules. But if it was just punishment, no one could say much.】
【Regardless of the righteous or demonic paths, strength is respected. You are stronger than Daoist Yan. If you couldn’t tolerate his words, teaching him a lesson was no big deal.】
【But if you kill someone, that is a different matter altogether.】
【Especially in front of so many cultivators.】
【There is no reason to suddenly kill, which is no different from a bloodthirsty demon cultivator.】
【Peng Lu felt a sudden joy and was about to continue condemning Ye Yu from a moral high ground.】
【But then he suddenly found that Ye Yu had already come to stand before him.】
【The hint of mockery in Ye Yu’s eyes made Peng Lu’s whole body shiver with fear.】
【The surrounding cultivators also began to retreat, looking very frightened.】
【Clearly, in their eyes, Ye Yu had already become demonic. They did not want to become the next Daoist Yan.】
【As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, one should look at the owner.】
【Peng Lu was a disciple of Feng Xianshi. The latter would naturally not watch him come to harm.】
【So he said sternly, Ye Yu, what do you want to do?】
【Feng Xianshi was about to step forward, but suddenly saw Ye Yu raise his right hand.】
【Seeing this, Feng Xianshi abruptly stopped, his expression grave.】
【He secretly mobilized his spiritual energy for defense.】
【With Ye Yu’s ability to kill Daoist Yan with a single move and his skill in forming words into techniques, he was undoubtedly a grand scholar of the Tribulation Crossing stage.】
【Although it was unclear how someone so young had achieved such cultivation, Feng Xianshi, also a tribulation stage cultivator, could not afford to underestimate him.】
【If he failed at this moment, it would be a massive loss of face!】
【However, Ye Yu only raised his hand, not intending to do anything, but merely wanted to reason with Senior Brother Peng Lu.】
【Ye Yu said, My association with Fu Wangdai is because I successfully enlightened her.】
【She has left the demonic path and is devoted to goodness.】
【This is a great merit, what crime is there? Senior Brother Lu, your accusations of collusion are so harsh!】
【Ye Yu patted Peng Lu’s shoulder and continued, The way you speak makes me very unhappy. Why don’t you kneel down and apologize to me?】
【Peng Lu felt a surge of spiritual energy wreaking havoc inside him, rendering him unable to speak.】
【His legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees.】
【In an instant, the entire scene was in an uproar.】
【Feng Xianshi said sternly, Ye Yu, release Peng Lu immediately!】
【Ye Yu teasingly said, Senior Brother Peng Lu is apologizing to me, I haven’t done anything to him.】
【Feng Xianshi said gravely, Utter nonsense! What do you mean by ‘enlightened her’? Just because you say so, it’s true?】
【Ye Yu’s smile faded.】
【He applied a bit of force with his right hand.】
【Peng Lu was forcibly pressed into the ground, kneeling so hard that he created a large crater in front of him.】
【Fainting on the spot, his life and death were uncertain.】
【Ye Yu said coldly, Yes, I say it is true, and it is. If anyone disagrees, feel free to stand up and reason with me!】
【Hearing this, Feng Xianshi could no longer hold back.】
【He immediately stepped forward, pulled out a bamboo scroll from his sleeve, and tore it open.】
【Countless tiny characters on it rapidly grew larger, converging into a towering black mountain of books, which crashed down towards Ye Yu with immense force.】
【Ye Qingyu and He Jieying’s faces turned pale with shock.】
【They had never expected that Feng Xianshi would disregard his status and attack Ye Yu, and even use the spiritual weapon, the Book Mountain Bamboo Scroll!】
【It was clear that Feng Xianshi intended to kill Ye Yu!】
【Just when everyone thought Ye Yu was doomed, a dazzling golden light soared into the sky.】
【It shattered the towering mountain of books in an instant.】
【The characters returned to their normal size. Rather than continuing the attack, they danced joyfully around the golden light!】
【At this moment, everyone from Ji Xia Academy seemed unable to believe their eyes.】
【Feng Xianshi’s face turned ashen, and he couldn’t help but step back, muttering to himself, Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!】
【Under everyone’s gaze, the golden light was revealed to be erupting from Ye Yu’s body.】
【It was a golden literary core, shining brilliantly!】
【In the annals of Ji Xia Academy, it was clearly stated: Only those who are upright, fearless in the face of power, and whose literary spirit reaches the heavens can cultivate a literary core!】
【It can be said that a literary core is the highest honor for a scholar.】
【Yet, in the millennia of Ji Xia Academy’s history, only two people have ever cultivated a literary core.】
【One was the first generation Sage of Confucianism, and the other was the second generation Sage of Confucianism.】
【These two were the founders of Ji Xia Academy.】
【In terms of both virtue and literary talent, they were the pinnacle of their time.】
【Their ability to cultivate a literary core was a matter of destiny.】
【But you, Ye Yu—what virtue, what talent do you have?】
【What gives you the right to possess a literary core?】
【Not only did others find it hard to believe, even Ye Qingyu and He Jieying couldn’t believe it.】
【In their minds, Ye Yu was still that little fool who couldn’t even write a decent essay.】
【How could he have a literary core?】
【It doesn’t make sense.】
【If this matter were to spread, it would undoubtedly shame scholars everywhere!】
【Standing in the center of the scene, Ye Yu slightly raised his hand.】
【The characters gathered around him converged around his body as his voice flowed:】
【There are eighty thousand characters in the world, all honored to be used by me!】
【Ye Yu seemed like a living Sage of Confucianism.】
【He floated in the sky, his gaze cold as he looked at Feng Xianshi: If you cannot discern loyalty from treachery, right from wrong, what right do you have to be the master of Ji Xia Academy?】
【Those without virtue— must die!】
【Ye Yu raised his hand and pointed.】
【The surrounding characters were instantly mobilized.】
【Each transformed into the sharpest sword Qi in the world.】
【In an instant, they killed Feng Xianshi on the spot.】
【The once-mighty leader of the sacred land fell just like that.】
【It wasn’t that he lacked the ability to resist, but he had already been stunned by the scene before him.】
【The literary core he had desperately pursued his entire life was now possessed by a young man.】
【What a bitter irony.】
【Everyone present couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines.】
【Even Feng Xianshi had been killed by Ye Yu—if they were honest with themselves, who among them could stand against him?】
【In that moment, hundreds of cultivators began to entertain thoughts of retreat.】
【They looked up at the figure in the sky and couldn’t help but step back.】
【Ye Yu, unrelenting in his righteousness!】
【With a thought, countless falling leaves appeared, swirling above everyone’s heads.】
【Immediately after, a cold voice resounded once more.】
【If any of you still doubt, feel free to step forward. I will still explain my principles to you!】
