With the Asura God's words, Jiang Chen finally relaxed.
His respect for the Asura God grew a little more.
Although he knew the Asura God was helping him so that he could later check and balance the God of Destruction, he was still grateful in his heart.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to kill the Grandmaster inside Shrek Academy.
He needed to arrange things carefully so that everyone would know the Grandmaster was dead without exposing his own identity.
His main goal was to let Bibi Dong know that the Grandmaster was already dead.
With a thought, Jiang Chen's face and body began to change.
A moment later, he had become the Grandmaster's appearance and hurried toward Shrek's school gate.
He saw that Zhao Wuji was already chasing after him.
Shrek Academy was not far from the city gate to begin with. After leaving the academy, Jiang Chen headed toward the Sunset Forest.
Along the way, he deliberately spoke with some people and leaked his destination.
Sure enough, Zhao Wuji inquired as he walked behind and also chased toward the Sunset Forest.
...
Inside Jiang Chen's system space, the Grandmaster sat dazedly on the ground.
Just a moment ago he had still been running inside the academy. He had merely stumbled, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived in a strange and unfamiliar place.
This place was not large, only a few meters in diameter.
There were no walls around. Instead there was rolling white mist that continuously surged and churned, extremely eerie.
The Grandmaster stood up, took a few steps forward, and warily touched the surging mist.
The instant he touched the mist, he felt a resistance that stopped his hand from penetrating inside.
The Grandmaster was stunned for a moment and increased the strength in his hand.
Strangely, at the beginning he had clearly felt that the resistance was not great.
But as his strength increased, the resistance also grew stronger, always preventing him from entering.
The Grandmaster's expression turned solemn. The pain and sorrow in his heart dispersed somewhat because of this eerie and unknown situation.
He condensed soul power in his hand and forcefully bombarded the white mist.
But he soon gave up.
The mist was like cotton; when he struck it, there was no force at all.
A moment later, he calmed down.
"Is anyone there?" he called out.
As if in response, the moment his voice fell, the mist churned even more violently and parted to both sides, opening a path.
The Grandmaster quietly released Luo Sanpao. Two yellow spirit rings circled his body.
In such a strange place, he had to remain fully alert to guard against any unexpected situations that might appear at any time.
With a soft sound, pale purple soul power surged in the Grandmaster's hand, and a plump white creature appeared in front of him.
Its appearance resembled a pig, its body length exceeded one and a half meters, its fat buttocks swayed left and right, and its large head rubbed against the Grandmaster's leg.
"Luo luo." Luo Sanpao called out once.
The Grandmaster affectionately stroked its head and sighed, "In the end, you are still the most loyal to me."
Luo Sanpao could not understand the meaning of those words. A human-like look of confusion appeared on its fat face.
The Grandmaster patted its head. "Go on. Open the way ahead."
"Luo luo." Luo Sanpao swayed its head and walked toward the already parted path, sniffing with its nose as it went.
Luo Sanpao's sense of smell was very sharp. It could detect the scent and strength of spirit beasts and was most suitable for scouting the path.
"Luo luo, luo luo..." Luo Sanpao, which had only walked a few meters, suddenly cried out urgently. Its fat body continuously retreated.
The Grandmaster walking behind could see Luo Sanpao's entire body trembling and could even sense the emotion of fear on it.
The Grandmaster's heart instantly rose.
Luo Sanpao had just retreated two steps when a ferocious black maw suddenly stretched out from the dense white mist at the side.
That large mouth was filled with interlocking sharp teeth, each one like a sharp dagger, gleaming with cold light.
The large mouth was extremely fast. Before the Grandmaster could react, it bit down on Luo Sanpao in one bite.
Luo Sanpao only let out a tragic cry before its body was already bitten into two pieces.
The front half was swallowed by that terrifyingly large mouth. The rear half instantly turned into purple soul power and returned to the Grandmaster's body.
The Grandmaster immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood. There was not a trace of color left on his face.
His martial soul had already suffered severe damage and could no longer be released.
With the martial soul damaged, his body also suffered serious trauma. He nearly collapsed.
He looked in shock and terror at that massive vicious beast's head. A terrifying pressure pressed down on him like the heavens collapsing.
Gradually, the surrounding mist began to disperse, and the image of that terrifying creature appeared before the Grandmaster.
The moment he saw the creature clearly, the Grandmaster finally could not control himself and sat down hard on the ground.
"What kind of spirit beast is this? Why don't I recognize it?"
"What place is this? How can there be a spirit beast I don't recognize?"
The Grandmaster muttered to himself, feeling unprecedented fear.
He very much hoped that all of this was only a dream, but everything that had just happened proved it was real.
Half of his martial soul had been eaten by this monster in one bite. That feeling absolutely could not be fake.
"Hehe, ignorant human. I am an ancient ferocious beast. How could I be compared to those lowly creatures you speak of?"
Qiongqi spoke in human words. Its massive and ferocious body slowly approached the Grandmaster.
"Able to speak human language… at least a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast." The Grandmaster muttered, his face already ashen.
A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast had appeared in front of him. Did he still have any chance of surviving?
"I already said I'm not a lowly creature like a spirit beast. Are you humans idiots?" Qiongqi roared. That large mouth full of sharp teeth opened and was about to bite down on the Grandmaster's head.
It had not tasted the flavor of humans for a very long time and missed it greatly.
Its large mouth opened and had even enveloped the Grandmaster's head, but it simply did not bite down.
Jiang Chen had only told it to scare this human and had not let it eat him.
That large mouth lingered on the Grandmaster's head for more than ten seconds. The foul-smelling saliva flowing from it had already soaked the Grandmaster's hair and face.
Qiongqi finally retracted its head.
The Grandmaster's eyes were tightly shut. Half of his soul had almost fled.
When had he ever experienced such a soul-stirring and terrifying matter?
That long tongue even licked his face a few times.
If it had been an ordinary person, they would probably have been scared to death on the spot.
The Grandmaster's entire body trembled as he fearfully looked at the giant beast in front of him. His lips quivered and he could not speak.
Qiongqi smacked its lips and said, "What a pity. My master told me to scare you first and not let you die so quickly. Otherwise, your head would already be in my stomach."
The Grandmaster's fear subsided a little. While shocked, he could not help asking, "Who is your master?"
Qiongqi looked down at the Grandmaster from high above. "My master is Jiang Chen."
"Master said that you cannot escape death today and will ultimately be eaten by me."
"Jiang Chen… so it was Jiang Chen." The Grandmaster muttered, already filled with boundless despair in his eyes.
Just then, Jiang Chen walked out from the white mist not far away.
This was his spirit master clone, which could freely enter the system space.
"Master." Seeing Jiang Chen appear, Qiongqi respectfully called out and retreated a few steps.
Jiang Chen patted its head. "Fortunately you didn't bite him to death. Otherwise I would have skinned you."
Qiongqi's massive body trembled. It lowered its head and did not dare speak.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Relax. After I finish speaking with him, I'll reward him to you."
The Grandmaster slumped on the ground and weakly gave a tragic smile. "Jiang Chen, I didn't expect it to be you. You've come to kill me this time on Bibi Dong's orders, right?"
"Hmph!" Jiang Chen coldly laughed once. "You overestimate yourself too much. In my teacher's eyes, you pose no threat at all."
The Grandmaster understood that he could not escape death today. His heart gradually calmed.
"Since I pose no threat, why do you still want to kill me?" he asked calmly.
Jiang Chen stood to the side and looked down at him. "Because my teacher still has lingering feelings for you in her heart. Only by killing you can she forget you, this heartless man."
"Hehe." A cold smile appeared on the Grandmaster's face. "That woman's eyes only have power. She was with me back then only for my wisdom. The moment she drove me away back then, I already saw through her."
Jiang Chen looked at this man with pity. "Back then my teacher drove you away without any warning. Didn't you feel even a little that something was wrong?"
The Grandmaster's expression froze for a moment. After a while he still insisted, "What could be wrong? Could the words she personally said to me be false?"
Jiang Chen sighed. "My teacher loved you so deeply back then, yet you don't understand her at all."
More emotion appeared on the Grandmaster's face. He pleaded, "If there was some hidden story regarding the events of that year, please tell me."
"Fine. Then I'll let you be a ghost who understands."
"Back then, you and my teacher were in love. However, your talent was far too poor, and you were also a person of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How could the then Pope Qian Xunji possibly hand his beloved disciple over to you?"
At this point, a trace of bitterness had already appeared on the Grandmaster's face.
"That Qian Xunji locked my teacher up and forcibly took her. He said to my teacher: 'You are no longer pure. What face do you still have to be with Yu Xiaogang? If you don't separate from him, I will immediately kill him.'"
The Grandmaster's body trembled violently. Both fists tightly clenched.
"My teacher once thought of suicide, but to preserve your life, she could only pretend to be heartless and deceive you into leaving.
"All these years, Teacher, a woman, has silently endured these pains. Yet you almost hated her to the bone and even found another woman.
"Qian Xunji has already been dead for so many years. Even if you had tried to make amends once, Teacher might have gotten back together with you. But you didn't!
"Yu Xiaogang, do you still have the face to live in this world?"
The Grandmaster's entire body trembled. Tears flowed uncontrollably. He muttered, "Impossible… this is impossible."
Every one of Jiang Chen's words was like a sharp knife cutting into his heart, making his heart bleed, the pain almost made him unable to breathe.
"This isn't real. You're lying to me. Jiang Chen, you're lying to me."
"Hmph. Do you still have any brains left? Would I joke with my teacher's reputation?"
The Grandmaster was utterly dejected and muttered, "Dong'er… my Dong'er."
He suddenly looked at Jiang Chen, revealing a strong desire, and agitatedly shouted, "Take me to see her. I want to admit my wrongs to her. I want to repent in front of her."
"Hehe. With my teacher's feelings for you, she might accept you again. But don't you still want your Liu Erlong?" Jiang Chen looked at the Grandmaster with a cold smile.
The Grandmaster froze for a moment. After a period of silence, he said sorrowfully, "Erlong already has another man."
"Hehe." Jiang Chen could not help but laugh coldly again.
He mocked, "Yu Xiaogang, ah Yu Xiaogang. You are still as stupid as ever. You can commit the same mistake a second time. Liu Erlong loved you so much, yet you so easily believed she had a change of heart?
"You didn't even give her a chance to explain. You don't even trust your own lover. What qualifications do you have to love them? You are merely a selfish person who only believes his own eyes."
The Grandmaster's body trembled even more violently. "You mean… Erlong, she also wasn't willing?"
Jiang Chen showed a smile. "That's right. Last night I threw Flender into Liu Erlong's room. The two of them are both innocent."
"Devil… you devil." The Grandmaster muttered.
Jiang Chen crossed his arms and looked at the Grandmaster. "You're about to die soon. I arranged for Flender and Liu Erlong to be together. Isn't that a good thing?"
The Grandmaster froze. After a long while he said, "Fine… this is also good. I know Flender has never let go of Erlong all these years. He will definitely take good care of her for me."
The Grandmaster's gaze turned to Jiang Chen and gradually became calm again. There was not even a trace of hatred.
"Thank you for letting me know the truth before I die. Jiang Chen, may I ask you for one thing?"
Jiang Chen's mouth curled up as he said teasingly, "You want me to spare Tang San?"
The Grandmaster nodded. "He is my only disciple, and the two of you also came out from the same village..."
Jiang Chen raised a hand to interrupt him. "I am already inseparable from Spirit Hall. If Tang San insists on opposing Spirit Hall, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to spare him."
The Grandmaster sighed once and closed his eyes. "I understand. Go ahead and do it. Give me a clean death."
Jiang Chen's spirit master clone sensed the situation outside and smiled. "Let you live a little longer. Later I'll have Qiongqi eat you in front of Zhao Wuji. News of your death must reach my teacher's ears."
"Thank you for Master's reward." Qiongqi opened its large mouth as if smiling.
It looked at the Grandmaster and said, "Relax. I'll bite through your neck in one bite and won't let you feel any pain."
Facing death, the Grandmaster was no longer afraid and became calm.
"Jiang Chen, you're only twenty years old now, right? I didn't expect you could subdue such a powerful… powerful being. What level are you at now?"
Jiang Chen released eight red spirit rings. "Level 87 Spirit Douluo. Eight five-hundred-thousand-year spirit rings."
The Grandmaster was shocked and dazed for a long time before sighing, "I didn't expect that I, Yu Xiaogang, spent my entire life researching martial souls yet ultimately only touched the tip of the iceberg. I feel ashamed of those theories of mine."
Jiang Chen did not speak and quietly waited.
Outside, Jiang Chen's true body transformed into the Grandmaster ran wildly the entire way and left obvious traces.
Zhao Wuji chased behind but could never catch up to the "Grandmaster" in front.
One after the other, the two entered the Sunset Forest.
Jiang Chen avoided those spirit beasts and arrived deep in the forest.
Inside the system space, the spirit master clone said indifferently, "Grandmaster, it's time for you to be on your way."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Grandmaster only felt the surroundings blur for a moment, and then he himself appeared inside the forest.
Qiongqi also followed out and landed beside him.
Nearby, Jiang Chen's true body changed his face a little and became his own appearance.
At this moment the Grandmaster only had surprise left.
Jiang Chen had already sensed that Zhao Wuji was about to arrive.
"Qiongqi, I'll leave it to you in a moment. You must act in front of Zhao Wuji."
"Master, rest assured. I'm already starving."
Jiang Chen took a deep look at the Grandmaster. "Grandmaster, goodbye."
After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.
The Grandmaster opened his arms and took a deep breath. "Dying in the Sunset Forest isn't bad either.
"Flender, you must take good care of Erlong and make her happy.
"Bibi Dong, I regret wrongly blaming you for so many years. I hope my death can make you feel a little better. Don't miss me anymore.
"Little San, Teacher truly doesn't hope for you to oppose Spirit Hall now. Unfortunately, I understand your temperament. You won't give up."
Just then, Zhao Wuji rushed over in a hurry. His figure appeared in the Grandmaster's line of sight.
The Grandmaster smiled and waved at Zhao Wuji.
Immediately after, a large mouth enveloped him from above and bit off his head in one bite.
Blood sprayed out.
