Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

The middle-aged man was taken aback, then heard a commotion behind him. Most people had already started arguing about the ownership of the Spiritual Treasure, and due to disagreements, signs of division began to appear among them.

Among them were a pair of domineering-looking twin brothers, the fiercer and more unyielding ones. The elder brother, named Luan Ba, pointed at the crowd behind him and said, "A treasure belongs to a hero, so stop arguing. A fight will decide it!"

His younger brother also stepped forward, holding a Mountain-Opening Axe weighing over a hundred pounds, and said dully, "My brother is right. Arguing is useless; the real skill is in a fight. Whoever beats us gets the Spiritual Treasure!"

"Why should it be up to you two, huh? I, Tang Yong, disagree!"

A hulking man with broad shoulders and a big broadsword stepped forward, pointing at the Luan brothers and yelling.

"Yeah, who do you think you are to be barking orders here? Get lost to the side!"

A pale-faced man beside Tang Yong shouted shrilly.

Instantly, the crowd erupted into another wave of quarrels. The middle-aged man watched the scene unfold, his sharp brows furrowing.

"Master Canghen, what do you think we should do?"

The mysterious man shook his head slowly, "I'm only here to sense the Spiritual Treasure's location and lead the way. As for who it should belong to, that's up to you all to decide."

The middle-aged man's face showed some hesitation, but seeing the situation escalating into chaos, he finally couldn't hold back, "Brothers, can you calm down and listen to what I, Ji Shaohe, have to say?"

But to his headache, no one paid him any attention. They continued forming opposing factions, arguing loudly, leaving no room for negotiation.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, sigh."

Qi Ling, hiding behind a giant rock, sighed softly.

"If they're good-for-nothings, then what do you suggest? How can we both appease the crowd and ensure the Spiritual Treasure goes to the rightful owner?"

Su Chen snorted.

"We find the Spiritual Treasure first, then just take it. Whoever has the superior skills will own it."

Qi Ling flashed a confident smile.

"Sounds easy enough~" Su Chen said calmly. Then he looked again at those endlessly arguing people, astonished to find a strange red light suddenly flashing at the mountaintop entrance!

"What?"

He almost cried out in surprise, fortunately being stopped by the quick-handed Qi Ling, who covered his mouth. Instantly, he widened his eyes, looking with horror toward the scene!

The previously smiling Qi Ling's gaze also showed a slight tremor, for both she and Su Chen clearly saw, after the red light, a tall, sinister silhouette mysteriously appearing at the mountaintop entrance!

That flowing long hair danced non-stop in the wind. The pale, handsome face bore a subtle, breeze-light smile, while blood-red, demonic eyes sent shivers down Su Chen's spine!

"It's him…"

Su Chen trembled as he spoke.

Hearing Su Chen muttering, Qi Ling didn't feel surprised, because she also recognized this sinister long-haired man!

It took more than half a minute before someone in the crowd noticed the man's presence, suddenly exclaiming, "Someone is behind us!"

Everyone whipped around to look, and upon seeing that man with blood-red eyes, they were all stunned!

"Blood Sect!"

The middle-aged man Ji Shaohe shouted in surprise, instantly causing a commotion in the crowd! They all quickly retreated, staring with shared hatred toward this unwelcome guest!

"Hahaha, welcome to Luoji Mountain, dear friends," the man let out a creepy laugh, a tinge of cruelty in his expression.

"Blood Sect bastard, are you here at Luoji Mountain also for the Spiritual Treasure?"

Luan Ba, holding an identical Mountain-Opening Axe as his brother Luan Jie, shouted angrily. Seeing that they had the numerical advantage and eager to show off in front of everyone, he recklessly stepped forward.

Unexpectedly, the man's eyes narrowed, and without saying a word, suddenly opened his mouth. A powerful suction instantly pulled the boastful Luan Ba toward him!

Under the stunned gazes of all, the man grasped Luan Ba by the neck with one hand, lifting him high, then tilted his head, his face contorting with malice as he sucked out large streams of blood from Luan Ba's gaping mouth like a ghoul! Suspended in midair, Luan Ba struggled desperately, screaming, watching helplessly as his blood was drawn from him!

"Brother!"

Luan Jie was the first to snap out of shock, immediately charging forward with his Mountain-Opening Axe!

But the man merely extended his left palm, giving a slight twist. Luan Jie was instantly dragged over, heavily colliding with the man's grasping left hand!

Everyone was horrified!

Only to see that blood-drenched left palm penetrating through Luan Jie's abdomen, emerging from his back. As it twisted mockingly, a crunching sound of intestines grinding echoed from Luan Jie's stomach!

"Everyone attack, kill this demon!"

Ji Shaohe finally unable to suppress his inner rage, led the charge by shouting!

But just as everyone was preparing to fight desperately, another mutation occurred!

The mysterious masked man beside Ji Shaohe suddenly raised his snake-shaped longsword, slashing through lightning-fast, cleaving directly into Ji Shaohe's head, sending it flying into the air!

Blood splattered, and after the head soared, it landed with a thud on the ground, causing everyone to be utterly terror-stricken!

"None of you are leaving today."

The mysterious man's hoarse voice suddenly became clear and bright. He let out a cold sneer, abruptly tearing away the black mask from his face!

"Ma...Master Canghen, who are you really!"

Tang Yong, holding a large broadsword, cried out in shock, his steps involuntarily retreating. Everyone backed away in fear, but at this moment, a dull sound suddenly arose!
