Chapter 67: Narrow Escape

  "Divine Void Academy!"

  "It's actually the special recruitment token of Shenxu Academy!"

  At this moment, even Zhao Hanqing and Song Yunjin, several swordsmen at the Sword Master level, had their expressions slightly frozen.

  The strong men of Leishen Temple, Taiyin Pavilion, Taoyuan Gate and Xianxia Sect all looked ugly at the same time.

  Shenwu Academy

  In the entire Daxia dynasty, he had an unparalleled and transcendent status.

  Divine Void Academy students are divided into three types.

  The first is through the assessment of various universities, sent to Shén Xū Academy. The second is by relying on one's own strength, stepping onto the Divine Path stage, and passing the three major checkpoints to enter Shén Xū Academy. The third is special recruitment.

  Any student of the Divine Void Academy, to some extent, can receive protection from the Divine Void Academy. If there is not enough evidence, as long as the other party is a student of the Divine Void Academy, even the law enforcement agencies of the Great Xia Dynasty cannot arrest them.

  The specially recruited students of Shenxu Academy have an even more noble status.

  Each of these students, once they enter the Shenxu Academy, will be cultivated as elite students. Some exceptionally talented students who stand out at the Shenxu Academy, even before becoming students, have already obtained the qualification to take the Shenxu Sect's assessment. They can board the Flying Heaven God Vessel that goes to the Shenxu Sect once a year in the talent transfer, and undergo the Shenxu Sect's disciple assessment.

  This special student, in terms of status and position, is not inferior to any top swordsmen. Even if he commits a serious crime like murder, the Great Xia Dynasty cannot execute him on the spot. Instead, they must negotiate with the Shenwu Academy, provide sufficient evidence, and obtain the academy's consent before they can have him punished.

  If this student's talent is truly exceptional, there is a good chance that they will formally enter the Shenxu Sect and become a member of the Shenxu Sect. The principal of the Shenxu Academy also has the qualifications to grant amnesty to this student.

  Once a pardon is issued, it would be useless even if the King of Dashan himself came out in person.

  From this point on, it can be seen how noble and different the identity of special students is.

  "Special recruitment order! Jiang Dawu actually has a special recruitment order from the Divine Void Academy, this kind of special recruitment order, even many dukes in our Great Xia Dynasty can't get one, and the number of special recruitment quotas allocated to the royal family each year is limited... Jiang Dawu having a special recruitment order from the Divine Void Academy, his identity as a disciple of the Divine Void Sect is indeed genuine..."

  Thinking of this, Lu Dingdong's mind, which had been somewhat unwilling to let go earlier, was now completely settled.

  Regardless of whether Jiang Da Wu is or isn't a disciple of Shenxu Sect, just the fact that Qin Tian Yi is a specially recruited student of Shenxu Academy makes him absolutely not someone who can be easily insulted by a small county marquis like him.

  If there's a reason for them to stand their ground, then it's somewhat acceptable; after all, the Shenwu Academy isn't made up of completely unreasonable people.

  But the current situation is obvious to anyone who sees it, if Qin Tianyi really stays behind, once the Shenvirtual Academy sends someone to investigate this matter, this Wanxia County Marquis will definitely not be able to get away with it.

  As he thought of this, Lu Dingdong's face, which had been somewhat gloomy and uncertain earlier, now revealed a hint of a smile: "I didn't expect that our Wanxia County Zongmen would actually produce a specially recruited student from the Divine Void Academy. This is truly a joyous occasion worthy of celebration. No wonder, as the young master of Yunlei Sword Sect, you have already cultivated to the Great Swordsman realm at such a young age, and on top of that, you possess such an incredibly powerful secret technique."

  When Xiao Su Yue heard Lu Ding Dong's words, which were completely overcast and gloomy, she felt an immense sense of relief wash over her, as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

  "Your Excellency is overpraising me. If it weren't for being under Your Excellency's leadership and creating a stable cultivation environment for Wanxia County, the Young Master wouldn't have been able to grow up either."

  "Haha, all of this is due to Qin Tianyi's extraordinary innate talent."

  Lu Dingdong saw a hint of urgency on the faces of Qi Lingyun and others, and since he had already given up on continuing to fight Qin Tianyi and others, he naturally wouldn't continue to be a villain and provoke Cloud Sword Sect's resentment. He opened his mouth and said: "Since you all want to take Qin Tianyi to Riyue City to recover from injuries, I won't delay you any further. Jian Ying, immediately prepare the best carriages for Cloud Sword Sect's people. You also successfully obtained the qualification to go to Shenyuan Academy in this year's examination at Dashu University, so along the way, you can get close to Qin Tianyi, the young master of the Qin family."

  "Yes, Father."

  Young Master Lu Jingying respectfully echoed and retreated.

  As he backed away, he was secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

  It's okay...

  Fortunately, the Golden Gate did not destroy Yunlai Sword Sect. Fortunately, he acted steadily and did not listen to the words of the Golden Gate people early on. Please ask Song Yunjin Sword Master to go to Yunlai Sword Sect and seize the war puppet of Yunlai Sword Sect.

  Otherwise...

  Once Qin Tianyi bursts out with his true strength, even if he is beaten to death, it would be a worthwhile death.

  The special students of Shenyuan Academy, despite having no other privileges, would absolutely intervene forcefully if others dared to bully the academy's students, relying on their own prestigious identities without sufficient reason.

  "Gentlemen, Qin Tianyi is a member of our Wanxia County and has just received a special invitation from the Divine Void Academy. This is a great honor for our entire Wanxia County. Such a talented swordsman who brings great glory to our Wanxia County, we should all support him well and absolutely cannot let him make any mistakes in our Wanxia County. What do you gentlemen think?"

  Taking advantage of Qiling Yun and others who have not left the martial arts arena, Lu Dingdong loudly announced.

  It was said that it was for the glory of Wanxia County to ask for everyone's opinion, but in fact anyone could hear that he was secretly warning.

  If there is still any sect that does not give up and wants to take advantage of Qin Tianyi's weakness to attack Yunleijian Sect, I'm afraid the first one who won't let him off will be this Marquis of Wanxia County.

  At that time, those people will at least face the wrath of three swordsmen or more.

  "The young master is right."

  "Not bad, it's been many years since we've had a special recruit from the Shenxu Academy in Wanxia County? Even ordinary students, there are only one or two per year. Such figures, every time one appears, represent the thriving development of our Wanxia County Zongmenjie."

  "When our Thunder God Temple first confronted the Shang Xuan Ling Sect, we formed an alliance with the Yun Lei Sword Sect, advancing and retreating together. Whoever is an enemy of the Yun Lei Sword Sect is also an enemy of our Thunder God Temple."

  "We have been on good terms with the Yunlai Sword Sect since ancient times, and Gong Sun Fenghua of our pavilion is even more closely related to Qin Tianji's father, Qin Huailing."

  As Lu Dingdong finished speaking, the people present expressed their opinions one after another.

  Even Dong Ping and Xia Yan, the top masters of Taoyuan Gate who had previously harbored murderous intentions in their hearts, also retracted all their killing intent at this moment, not daring to reveal a single bit.

  Luding Dong surprisingly sent his own son to accompany Qin Tianyi, clearly showing the attitude of this Wanxia County Marquis.

  "It seems that I can only wait until I return and prepare a thick gift to personally visit the Yunlai Sword Sect and apologize to Qin Tianyi, the young master of the sect."

  Dong Ping sighed secretly in his heart.

  Who could have imagined that the final situation would be so dramatic?

  They relied on the big tree Xuanling Sect, which collapsed instantly, while Yunlai Sword Sect, who was originally doomed to death in their eyes, made a miraculous turn of events. Qin Tianyi not only killed the leader of Xuanling Sect, Beiyue Sword Master, but also became a specially recruited student of Shenvirtual Academy.

  Rise and fall, transformation, unexpectedly so strange.

  Xiao Su Yue also felt like she was in a dream.

  Xiao Su Yue was a native of Yunlai Jianzong, her vision and knowledge were limited to Yunlai Jianzong, limited to Wanxia County. She had also vaguely heard that the Shenvirtual Academy had a transcendent status in the Great Xia Dynasty, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of flipping out that special recruitment token from Qin Tianyi's body to increase the weight of Qin Tianyi's identity.

  But she never thought that a special recruitment token from Shenwu Academy would weigh so heavily.

  "What's going on with Su Yue? How did Tian Ji become a special recruit of Shenxu Academy?"

  Others were vague about the special recruitment students of Shenxu Academy, but Qi Lingyun, who had been to Dashawangdu and had seen many grand scenes, understood the importance of this identity.

  "Qi Elder... I'm also not very clear, when the Young Master told me at that time, it was also a brief mention, let's wait for the Young Master to wake up later, you can ask him carefully yourself."

  "...about the matter of Jiang Daowu, the lord of Wucheng..."

  "How the relationship between Jiang Daowu, the castle master, and Shao Zongzhu is, I also don't know... However, since Jiang Daowu, the castle master, gave such an important thing to Shao Zongzhu, their relationship shouldn't be ordinary, right?"

  "You're not clear either..."

  Qī Língyún slightly furrowed her brow and sank into thought.

  What if Qin Tianji and Jiang Daowu's relationship wasn't as close as imagined, they rashly went to Riyue City, once Jiang Daowu, the city master, found out that Yunlai Sword Sect was using his name to show off, who knows what other changes might occur...

  Everything will have to wait until Qin Tianyi's aftereffects are over.

  As long as he gets over the aftereffects, with his terrifying combat strength that is not inferior to a Sword Master's, there is nowhere in the world he can't go.

  Thinking of this, Qilingyun had already made a decision: "We'll head back to Yunlai Sword Sect first."

  "Return to Yunlai Jianzong?"

  Xiao Su Yue glanced at the young master Lu Jian Ying who was followed by his guards: "What about them..."

  "The city of Rihui is also two days away from here, and if we take a detour, we will pass by our Yunlai Sword Sect. At the Yunlai Sword Sect, there are 'Leiting' and 'Shandian', which are also a great deterrent. By then, even if Luding Dong has some doubts, he won't dare to act rashly again. Moreover, I think that even without the identity of Jiang Dawu, the lord of Rihui City, just relying on the special recruitment token from Shenxu Academy is enough to make Luding Dong give up his idea of attacking our Yunlai Sword Sect."

  Lightning and thunder were those two Thunder Eagles.

  These two Thunder Eagles have already reached the level of a human Great Swordsman, and as flying fierce beasts that dominate the skies, their intimidating power is only stronger than that of a human Great Swordsman. Unless a Sword Master-level expert personally takes action, Yun Lei Jian Zong doesn't need to be wary of anyone at all.

  As for the swordmaster...

  I believe no swordsman would be so ungrateful as to think of a special student from the Divine Void Academy as an enemy.

  "Alright, let's return to Yunlai Sword Sect."
