Chapter 139: For decades, like a dream
The two deans were arguing over a difficult ancient pill formula.
In the field of alchemy, Song Qifang was undoubtedly more knowledgeable and profound. However, Dong A had a higher cultivation level and could see things that Song Qifang couldn\'t see.
Therefore, when their opinions differed, neither could convince the other.
"No matter what, I will never allow disciples from the academy to test the medicine," Dong A said firmly.
Today, Song Qifang specifically invited him over to discuss the feasibility of this ancient pill formula and propose arranging disciples to test the medicine. However, Dong A decisively refused.
"If this pill formula is successfully restored, it will benefit our entire academy!" Song Qifang said, "This pill is absolutely non-toxic, I can guarantee that even if it is taken incorrectly, at most it will only cause a few days of diarrhea."
"What guarantee do you have?"
When his expertise was questioned, Song Qifang, who usually had a good temper, became angry and raised his voice, "Based on my many years of experience in alchemy! Based on..."Just then, the first ground split occurred.
Both of them were startled at the same time.
Boom!
In the room, under the alchemy furnace, the fire that had been burning gently suddenly surged out and turned into a flaming tiger, pouncing directly at Dong A!
The timing was so perfect, everything had been planned in advance.
The anger and impatience on Song Qifang\'s face disappeared, and he no longer looked old. He flicked his dusting brush, and thousands of threads formed a dense spider web, instantly sealing the entire alchemy room.
His aura was not just at the level of the Tongtian Realm, but had clearly already pushed open the door to heaven and earth!
However, Dong A showed no surprise. With a blue light in his hand, he pressed down on the flaming tiger and directly stuffed it back into the furnace.
Wood is restrained by fire, but under absolute strength suppression, everything is illusory.
His other hand was also wrapped in blue light. With a light stroke, he broke through the spider web. Then, he reached out and grabbed Song Qifang\'s neck, dispersing all the Dao Yuan gathered in his body.
"How did you not fall for my fragrance poison?" Song Qifang was shocked, "Were you prepared for me?"
He had invited Dong A to sit here for half a day, not just for an ambush.
The alchemy room had already been filled with poisonous fragrance, and the toxicity was enough to corrode ordinary Inner Palace Realm experts.
This single fragrance was already invaluable and was Song Qifang\'s greatest reliance.
However, Dong A showed no signs of being poisoned at all.
With ease, Dong A subdued Song Qifang and coldly said, "With just you, what precautions do I need to take?"
"Cough! Do you think I\'m willing?" Song Qifang struggled and coughed a few times, suddenly becoming excited, "I have dedicated my whole life to Zhuang Guo! Why don\'t I get the resources I deserve? I have to linger in front of the door of heaven and earth day and night, year after year! I...!"
His windpipe was crushed, and the sound that hadn\'t been uttered was cut off.
Dong A casually lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace and threw his body in.
Song Qifang probably still wanted to vent his anger and unwillingness, to explain why he chose the Path of White Bones, why he betrayed Zhuang Guo... There must have been struggles and torment throughout his life.
But Dong A didn\'t want to listen at all.
After easily dealing with Song Qifang, Dong A\'s expression remained solemn.
He could fully imagine the tragic scene in Fenglin City at this moment.
He could also clearly hear the panic and chaos among the disciples in the academy.
He heard someone shouting:
"Help!"
"Quick, save them!"
There were also voices crying out:
"Dean! Dean! Where are you?"
He knew every student and instructor in the academy and understood their strength and personalities.
He could even imagine how Jiang Wang, Linghe, Huang Achan, and Xia Tie Mian would react in the face of this disaster...
He could certainly hear Wei Quji\'s angry shout and feel the despair of the entire city.
But he just sat there motionless.
He never went out.
...
In the northwest direction of Fenglin City, after passing through Du Family Town to the west, they finally reached the border of Fenglin City.
Li Gongfeng exerted his last bit of strength and pushed Fang Heling out of the city.
During their previous escape, they encountered interference from the Path of White Bones. Li Gongfeng fought hard and was seriously injured before defeating his opponent.
Relying solely on his willpower, he finally fulfilled his deceased friend\'s request and collapsed to the ground.
"Uncle Li!" Fang Heling knelt on the ground and shouted loudly through the increasingly clear array patterns.
Tears even flowed down his face.
It wasn\'t that he had deep feelings for Li Gongfeng before, but at this moment, Li Gongfeng was his only reliance. The only remaining psychological support.
His father was dead, the Fang family was gone, and he had lost everything in Fenglin City.
But his wailing only earned him a mouthful of phlegm.
"Spit!"
Li Gongfeng cursed loudly, "You useless thing! Finally going to die, I can finally curse you. Your father didn\'t let me curse you. He said you couldn\'t handle the blow and asked me to take the dirty words to the grave with me."He gasped for breath, his voice growing weaker: "Damn it, you idiot, moron, useless piece of trash..."
His curses eventually faded into silence.
But each word, like a knife or a hammer, struck his heart.
......
High above Fenglin City.
Wei Yan and Shen Nanqi both died in battle. With Zhang Linchuan\'s full strength in play, Lu Yan was able to control the large array without interference.
The Bone Dao had been preparing for this day for decades, starting even before Wei Quji arrived at Fenglin City.
Of course, they couldn\'t have done it without the help of Song Qifang. Everything was carried out quietly.
After years of preparation, it was now time to reap the rewards.
Ouyang Lie\'s uproar in Yun Country was just a diversion, temporarily distracting people from the threat of the Bone Dao.
Everyone knew that the Bone Dao would never make a big move when their strongest fighters were absent. Therefore, this incident they deliberately created became the perfect opportunity.
Because the Bone Dao\'s strongest fighters were never absent.
Before the operation began, even the high-ranking members of the sect were kept in the dark. Many people truly believed that Ouyang Lie was critically injured and on the brink of death.
That\'s why he was able to trap Du Ruhui at Feilai Peak.
In the entire Zhuang Country, Du Ruhui, who possessed the divine power of "A Step to the Ends of the Earth", was the biggest variable. Trapping him eliminated the biggest interference to the plan.
For today\'s scene, the Bone Dao had almost exhausted everything, including the accumulation of hundreds of years of silence.
They were determined to achieve a success that hadn\'t been seen in hundreds of years.
The previous incident at Zhen Guan was a rehearsal, but it was disrupted by Zuo Guanglie, who suddenly fled there and started a big battle.
Li Yi came from the west with his sword, and no one dared to approach him.
They had to give up that time.
Then came the larger-scale operation in Xiaolin Town.
Now, under Lu Yan\'s control, countless souls and tangible negative emotions were all converging in one place.
That place was Xiaolin Town!
The town that shook the Underworld Candle and frightened Jiang Wang.
The Bone Dao\'s operation in Xiaolin Town was ostensibly to condense the phantom of the Ghost Gate, and indeed, they did create this Underworld treasure.
But for the Bone Dao, there was a deeper purpose.
While everyone\'s attention was focused on the phantom of the Ghost Gate and the Bone Dao, they overlooked Xiaolin Town itself.
The reason they chose to condense the phantom of the Ghost Gate in Xiaolin Town was to anchor their position in the mortal world, from the Nine Netherworlds to the human realm.
The being that returned from the Nine Netherworlds could only be, and indeed was, the Respected God of the Bone Dao!
