Chapter 245 3 years in Hedong and 3 years in Hexi

"Tell me, how did Li Ling break up with Jiang He? Are all demonic cultivators so hot-tempered?"

"I don't know if it will explode or not, but my legs are a little sore from squatting. I feel like the people Commander Jiang mentioned haven't arrived yet."

Shh, shh, they're here, damn it!

"Holy crap, one, two, three..."

Twenty-three, twenty-seven...

Fifty! Fifty-one people! This Zhao Wuchi is quite a capable man.

"I saw Li Ling. How did she end up in Zhao Wuchi's group?"

"Li Ling? I think she was still disobedient to Commander Jiang earlier. Could she really have deserted and betrayed us?"

"It seems so at the moment. I need to send a private message to Jiang He right away."

On the desert map, two cultivators from the Myriad Absolutes Academy waited anxiously for Zhao Wuchi to walk away.

As soon as they sent out their message, Jiang He received messages from Zhao Wuchi and Li Ling.

"You mean, Li Ling just put on a show for Mingyue's people?" Shangguan Linghu asked in confusion.

"Is that so?" Zhong Liyu turned to look at Jiang He.

Jiang He nodded slightly, glancing at the communicator:

"Zhao Wuchi is coming soon. Hua Xi, Linghu Yan, how are your acting skills?"

Hua Xi thought about her role as the evil queen in Snow White when she was a child, and said softly, "It was alright."

Linghu said, "Watch us. I've won the grand prize in the primary and secondary school acting competitions several times."

"Isn't the grand prize usually just a filler award?" Zhong Liyu muttered for a couple of minutes before Jiang He suddenly lowered her head, her expression sharp.

"Hua Xi, we killed the scorpion that killed us, and we took the crystal core. Why should we just hand it over?"

Hua Xi was somewhat reluctant to cooperate with Jiang He, but she was also curious about whether it would work out, so she still recited her lines:

“The command position was originally mine. If you hadn’t used some tricks, how would it have fallen to you? Isn’t it reasonable for us to exchange the crystal cores for supplies? None of your team members have reached the Nascent Soul stage, while our team has Linghu Yan. It’s better to give us the crystal cores than to let you have them.”

Zhong Liyu: "Hua Xi, your team has gone too far. You're just being unreasonable. So what if you're a Nascent Soul cultivator? We're young, we're only at the Golden Core stage. Fortune changes every thirty years! Don't underestimate the potential of the young!"

After saying this, Zhong Liyu became visibly arrogant.

He improvised these words on the spot. After Zhong Liyu finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment.

Zhong Liyu thought to himself with satisfaction that everyone must have been amazed by his acting skills.

Jiang He sighed, rubbing her forehead. Zhong Liyu had barely finished speaking when Jiang He, who hadn't even felt embarrassed yet, started feeling embarrassed for others on their behalf again.

"What a wonderful saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'! It's good that you cultivators of Wanjue Academy have such arrogance, but when you encounter Mingyue, let alone thirty years, even if you were given a hundred years, you still wouldn't be able to catch up."

Seeing Jiang He and his group arguing again, Zhao Wuchi knew that he had made the right decision to come.

Li Ling was right. When Jiang He took command, no one respected her. Moreover, according to his spies in the Wanjue Academy, Li Ling and Jiang He had already broken up openly.

Now there's another group of people who are dissatisfied with Jiang He. They say that Jiang He has a useless spiritual root and low martial arts skills. They let Sha Liu observe for a long time and found that Jiang He only talks and rarely fights the demon. How can he be a good commander?

He should have come sooner; maybe then the monster would have fallen into his hands. I wonder who got the final kill on the Killer Scorpion.

But it doesn't matter, since this time he will not only take down everyone, but also the points they have will be his.

Li Ling stood conspicuously in Zhao Wuchi's group, and Jiang He frowned.

"Li Ling, you broke ties with me before, what do you mean by joining the ranks of other universities now?"

Li Ling scoffed coldly: "What else could it mean? If you don't step down voluntarily, then I can only find help. Zhao Wuchi can help me. I'll give him your points and I'll be the commander."

“Yes, it was Li Ling who told me about your positions. If you’re not capable enough, you should just step down and let someone more capable take your place.” Zhao Wuchi said, glancing sideways.

"Li Ling, you're despicable! You've teamed up with outsiders to attack us? This is the Academy Grand Competition!"

"Yes, so what? It's Jiang He's fault for not giving up her position. This spot could have been given to Hua Xi, but since Jiang He won't relinquish it and you're all protecting her, I have no choice but to rely on other forces." Li Ling's attitude was arrogant.

"And I advise you all to be sensible and hand over Jiang He, otherwise..."

Don't blame me for being ruthless.

As Li Ling spoke, his demonic energy became fully revealed, and his aura increased significantly, making him look very much like a demonic cultivator.

[: ? ? ? Has Li Ling gone mad? Is she not going to stay after this? I remember Li Ling is from Wanjue Academy, right? She's supposed to stay here for three and a half years, and now she's rebelled... Ah, this...]

Wow, she's so brave! No wonder she's a demonic cultivator; she explodes the moment things don't go her way. I wish I could be like Li Ling and just quit whenever I want. I don't want to go to this lousy class anymore.

Jiang He should have retired long ago. So many people are dissatisfied with her, and Li Ling is right—she's incompetent yet in command; I don't really understand.

But these internal conflicts should be resolved internally. Li Ling has brought in cultivators from Mingyue Academy, the mortal enemy of Wanjue Academy. Did anyone else provoke her? Her actions are simply insane.

Yay! It's a yandere! We're saved!

: ...? Didn't you guys watch the live stream just now? Something's obviously not right. Jiang He was getting along well with Linghu Yan's team just now. That girl named Hua Xi, I think that's her name, anyway, she's the one with the Roman curls.

Although she had a sour face the whole time, she hadn't said much at first, and I don't know why Jiang He suddenly started arguing.

Then suddenly Jiang He asked if the two of them could act, and that's how the atmosphere became.

Yes, it seems so. The live stream did look a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what was wrong.

I think I know! Are Jiang He and the others putting on an act, deliberately luring Mingyue's cultivators here so they can wipe them all out in one fell swoop?

Um... I don't even know what to say. How did your brain survive this long? With the strength of cultivators from the Myriad Absolute Academy, you're acting? And you're saying you can wipe them all out? Zhao Wuchi's side has fifty people, and Jiang He's side, including Li Ling, only has twenty-five people. Who's surrounding whom? It's ridiculous.

Haha, indeed, the strength of the cultivators on both sides is about the same, but the difference in numbers is too great. Moreover, Linghu Yan's team and Jiang He's team are only superficially united. If Zhao Wuchi seizes this opportunity with Li Ling, he will definitely be able to take down Jiang He and his group in one fell swoop. At that time, not only will the Wanjue Academy lose its leader, but it will also lose its command. Hahaha
