Not daring to stay for a moment, scared and fleeing in disarray from Liu Wuxie's house, taking advantage of the darkness to disappear into the night.

  The oil lamp lit up, and the room was in a mess.

  "What a close call! Luckily, I scared him off!"

  Liu Wuxie said quietly, his formation was already close to collapse, trapping Zhao Yuankai for so long had been the limit, continuing to struggle on, Zhao Yuankai would escape and definitely kill him.

  With the help of the formation's power, he was only slightly injured, and it wasn't fatal.

  The other party is a high-level hair washing realm and can achieve this point, which is enough to defy the heavens.

  Withdraw the formation, no one should come tonight, sit cross-legged on the bed, frantically inhale and exhale spiritual energy, do everything possible to enhance strength.

  The east showed a hint of white, and the first ray of sunlight shone through the window. Liu Wuxie withdrew from his meditation.

  He walked down from the bed, like a peerless divine sword, suddenly out of its scabbard, with an astonishing momentum that swept across the sky.

  The entire courtyard was shrouded in an invisible aura of sword energy. If anyone approached, they would inevitably be torn apart by the sword energy.

  A century-old wisteria tree in the courtyard suddenly made a rustling sound, unable to withstand the knife-like air, countless leaves exploded from the sky, turned into powder and dissipated in the air, leaving the entire tree bare.

  The tables and chairs inside the house were slightly exploded, as if they had been eroded by insects, and their insides had long since become hollow. The knife energy was rampant, but after a night of cultivation, the cumulative assessment of the past few days plus the long journey finally restored everything to its original state.

  "Why is it that the sword intent I've grasped has such a big difference compared to before, and also possesses more attacking power? It should have some sort of connection with the Tai Huang Dan Tian."

  Breath converged, the evil aura around Liu's body slowly dissipated.

  He couldn't say it, whether it was knife skills, gong skills, or ghostly eyes technique, the golden soul sea had already deviated from his previous life's cultivation trajectory, leaving only the knowledge of the immortal emperor.

  Walking out of the house, the courtyard still bears the scars of a great battle. No one has come to clean up yet. The courtyard gate is broken and needs to be repaired by students spending their own gold coins to hire someone.

  These two days, he has a good grasp of the overall layout of Imperial College, and Li Shengsheng gave him a topographic map, so he won't get lost in general.

  Through the dense forest, just after dawn, there were few students on the road, and occasionally met, also hurriedly passed by.

  Yanyang Cave is not here, it's about half a time distance from the Dizihao School District, and you need to cross the Xuanzihao School District.

  Step lightly, Liu Wuxie quickened his pace, lest he give rise to more branches outside the festival. There were not a few people who did not want him to enter the Yangyang Cave for cultivation.

  "That little guy went to Flame Sun Cave!"

  Liu Wuxie had just left for a short while, and from the distant forest, two figures emerged, staring at Liu Wuxie's courtyard all night.

  "Launch the plan and sabotage his entry into the Flame Cave."

  Another person gave an order to stop Liu Wuxie from entering the Flame Cave.

  Liu Wuxie was completely unaware, half an hour later, passing through the Xuanzi area, a large mountain appeared in front of him, and the Yangyandong Cave was located in this mountain range, connected to the underground flames, emitting a large amount of Yang energy every day.

  Especially for those who cultivate fire-attribute skills, cultivating in this place can be said to have twice the result with half the effort.

  Liu Wuxie possessed the Taihuang Dantian, which not only contained gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but also many other elements. Any place was a blessed land for cultivation to him.

  A straight bluestone path leads directly to the Flame Cave.

  Along the mountain path, after a cup of tea, there is a temple in front of you. To enter the Flame Cave, you must first register and not everyone has the qualifications to come here.

  Entering the temple, it was roughly built inside.

  In the depths of the temple, a long passageway appeared, leading directly underground and into the depths of the Flame Sun Cave.

  "Who comes?"

  Liu Wuxie had just approached when an old man walked out from the depths of the temple, the elder in charge of the Flame Sun Cave, who had been guarding this place to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

  The old man was over sixty years old, his hair had turned half white and became grayish white, his eyes were very sharp, like two flashes of lightning, sweeping horizontally towards Liu Wuxie.

  "Junior Liu Wuxie, this year's assessment champion, this is the reward for this year, enter Yangyang Cave to cultivate for ten days."

  Liu Wuxie was still quite respectful, took out the golden sword and handed over his token, presenting it to him.

  The old man took over the token handed over by Liu Wuxie, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "Yan Yang Cave has been closed for the past few days, you can go back first and come again when it's open."

  The old man put away the token and suddenly said in a cold tone, "Let Liu Wuxie go back first. This painting style is not right!"

  "Ah!"

  Liu Wuxie's eyes turned cold, and he realized that something was off. The old man guarding the Flame Yang Cave seemed to be targeting him specifically. As soon as he arrived, the Flame Yang Cave was no longer open to outsiders. What a coincidence.

  "Then please tell me, elder, when will Flame Sun Cave be open to the outside."

  Suppressing his inner anger, he knew that the old man was being difficult with him, but he endured it. It wasn't hard to guess that this must be the doing of the Xue family.

  They dominated the Imperial Academy with an iron fist, and bribing an elder was not difficult at all.

  "It's temporarily uncertain, you go back first, and will be notified when it starts."

  The old man waved his hand impatiently and told Liu Wuxie to hurry back, not to stay here, then walked towards the depths.

  No reason, no explanation, no exact date for when it will start, apparently intending to delay indefinitely until Liu Wuxie is expelled from the Imperial Academy.

  "Elder, what benefits did the Xue family promise you that made you target our humble Di Zi number student?"

  Liu Wu's eyes shot out a cold light, his gaze piercing straight through the old man, devoid of any emotion. A terrifying aura churned and surged, he was truly enraged.

  Facing various attacks from the Xue family, as long as it was just and upright, he would not be afraid of anything. This approach would only make Liu Wu Xie look down on the Xue family even more.

  "How I do things is none of your business, get out before I lose my temper."

  The old man's anger stirred, he turned his body, and with a terrifying momentum, he pressed down on Liu Wuxie.

  The first layer of the Washing Marrow Realm is in charge of guarding the Blazing Sun Cave, and its realm boundary isn't very high.

  Those high-ranking monks are all college tutors, of course they won't come to this godforsaken place. Only those elders with lower status will be sent here, left alone every day.

  "I'm not leaving yet, I've made up my mind to enter the Blazing Sun Cave today!"

  Liu Wuxie took a step forward, his aura not weaker than that of the old man. Instead, he countered with an even more powerful aura, causing the old man's eyes to widen in surprise. The unassuming young man before him had such a formidable presence.

  There is no one here, the two of them are arguing, and no one knows about it. This is also the reason why Xue's family dares to be so bold. Even if they kill Liu Wuxie, he will die unjustly.

  Actually, there is another way, go find the high-level officials of the college, explain the situation, and the college will send someone to investigate.

  This has delayed for several days again, and even if he enters the Yangyan Cave to cultivate, he will lose face. This is not the result that Liu Wuxie wants.

  The Xue family also saw this point, Liu Wu Xie's personality was proud and aloof, of course he wouldn't go to the academy.

  "Kid, I'm standing right here today. If you can get past me, that's your skill."

  The old man's mouth corner floated a cruel smile, equivalent to telling Liu Wuxie in disguise that the Flame Cave had not been closed, it just didn't want him to enter, and see what he would do.

  The bare and stubborn willow is innocent, I must stop you from entering the Flame Cave today.

  Not just today, but also in the future when you come, I will still stop you.

  Liu Wuxie thought of a sentence that Xue Pinzhi said on that day, you can never think of it, the foundation of the Xue family in Imperial College has already taken root in any corner of the college.

  What I saw today was that Xue Pinzhi didn't speak big words, the Xue family has already infiltrated the Imperial Academy. In recent years, many disciples of the Xue family have entered the Imperial Academy to cultivate, including several instructors from the Xue family.

  "That little brat is in trouble!"

  Liu Wu's mouth corner floated a cold smile, and he thought of stopping himself with a small washing marrow realm.

  A short sword appeared in his palm, and the two men locked eyes, forming a storm that surged to both sides, shaking those stone pillars and making them emit a loud crashing sound. Countless rocks fell from above the cave.

  The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression changed subtly, and he dared not be careless. A tobacco pipe appeared in his hand.

  The Xue family has passed on information about him, this kid is hard to deal with, be careful, or you'll capsize in a ditch.

  Rolling hot waves, transmitted from underground, underground magma began to erupt, dense fire attribute spirit energy, rushed over, Liu Wuxie took a big mouthful, Taihuang Dan Tian stirred and was about to break through.

  His body shot out, turning into a residual shadow, with the short knife in his hand slashing down through the air, pressing straight onto the old man's chest and back.

  Liu Wuxie didn't make a move, the old man was guarding this place, if something went wrong, things would get out of hand.

  He has always been very measured in his actions, getting rid of students and killing instructors are two different concepts, as long as he doesn't cross the line, the college won't pursue it.

  After the events of the past two days, Liu Wuxie had a misconception that someone in the college was protecting him. If it were an ordinary student who killed so many people and crippled so many students, they would have been expelled long ago.

  It is still unknown who secretly supports him.

  The old man did not dare to be careless, and the two of them fought back and forth in the temple, their battle unfolding in an instant.

  The short knife was as elusive as a ghost, the old man's pipe in his hand was equally unpredictable, coming and going, forming a storm that stirred up an air current, rushing down the mountain, shattering countless large trees.

  The old man's aura burst out, and he was enraged. He was suppressed by the tiny innate five-layer boundary, which was a kind of humiliation, revealing his killing intent.

  Liu Wu Xie did not dare to be careless, although he had the ability of one level of extermination and marrow washing, after all, it was not a life-and-death struggle, and he could not play his trump card.

  Try to win with cleverness and enter the Flame Sun Cave for cultivation. With strong enemies lurking around him, he must learn to hide his abilities.

  His feet trampled on the Seven Stars, and Lao's attack was skillfully dodged by Liu Wuxie each time, infuriating him to loud wails.

  The Xue family had made a solemn promise to intercept Liu Wuxie, and besides, they still had a handle in their hands. If the task couldn't be completed, the Xue family would make things difficult for him everywhere.

  The pipe in his hand turned into a trail of residual shadows, and a burst of flames engulfed Liu Wuxie.

  The old man has been cultivating here, and his understanding of fire properties far surpasses that of ordinary people.

  "Hmmph!"

  Liu Wuxie let out a cold hum, his body changing at an astonishing speed that left people speechless. The old man was shocked and frightened as Liu Wuxie's combat talent far surpassed his own.

  How is this possible? He's a Washing Bone realm, his combat talent isn't even comparable to that of an Innate realm. If word gets out, I doubt anyone would believe it.

  That's a fact. Liu Wuxie relied on his speed, effortlessly circling around, and the Ghost Eye Technique was quietly deployed to find the old man's flaws in his moves.

  From Aiwan.
