Martial Cultivator

There were many scholars in the Divine Capital.

Especially in the academy next to South Lake, there were many scholars there.

But the most famous scholar in the Divine Capital was the one in front of them. He was the dean's disciple and the legitimate son of the Wei Family. From the moment he was born, it was destined that he would have nothing to do with the word ordinary.

His background was rivaled by few in the Great Liang Dynasty. He already belonged to the tiny group of extremely dazzling people in the first place. However, for some reason, everyone who saw him for the first time would think that he was an ordinary scholar. But as they got to know him, they would realize his extraordinary qualities.

It was a strange phenomenon.

Chen Chao let out a sigh of relief when he saw the scholar. Although he had no relationship with him, since his friend had some connection with the scholar, he could also consider himself to have a connection with him.

"Mr. Wei."

Chen Chao opened his mouth, feeling akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.

Wei Xu glanced at Chen Chao and nodded with a smile. He had neither a favorable impression nor malice towards his little junior sister's friend.

He wanted to say something to the girl, but he dispelled the idea when he realized they were not really acquainted yet. Turning to the old man in the hemp robe across from him, he calmly said, "Leave or die."

The words were calm without any surging emotions, but the content of those words was anything but calm.

Listening to this, Chen Chao's eyes showed a look of admiration. This seemingly gentle scholar was indeed not as gentle as he looked on the surface. However, he really liked what he said.

So domineering.

The old man looked at Wei Xu and was silent for a long time before asking with a smile, "I thought since the dean knew about this matter, he would come here in person. But instead, he let a weak scholar like you come? This isn't the academy. do you want to rely on words to kill this old man?"

Naturally, there was some sarcasm in his words.

Although Wei Xu looked weak, everyone knew that he was definitely not weak. The old man might have deliberately tried to anger Wei Xu by saying that.

Wei Xu asked, "Which family's spy are you"

The old man was definitely not one of the cultivators from the foreign lands. The greatest possibility was that he came from somewhere in the Divine Capital.

The old man sneered and said, "You really are a pedantic scholar."

As he spoke, a killing intent surged from within his hemp robe again. A terrifying aura emanated from the bottom of his robe, "If the Dean were to come in person, this old man would naturally retreat, but what do I have to fear from a pedantic scholar like you?"

He used his actions to express his attitude.

Wei Xu could sense the sarcasm in the old man's words, but he did not care much. He just looked at the old man and said, "You don't have to be afraid of me, but I can still kill you."

After saying this, he walked towards the old man.

He did not have any anger, he walked forward only to kill.

His steps were not fast, as if every step was taken very seriously.

The old man looked at this scene and gave a cold laugh. In just a moment, several rays of profound light had already gathered in his palm. The entire alley was filled with murderous intent.

A daoist magic that he had cultivated bitterly for many years had been cast by him.

Wei Xu did not care, he just continued to walk forward. He took a step out and his figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was several dozen feet away.

Chen Chao knew that this daoist spell was the most basic Shrinking Earth to Inches technique, but even for such a simple daoist spell, they martial artists likewise could not grasp it. Therefore, at this moment, he looked at Wei Xu with envy in his eyes.

The mighty profound light surged out of the old man's palm and engulfed Wei Xu as he walked forward.

It was a powerful cultivation technique called the Profound Light Curse!

It was one of Daoism's orthodox daoist magic.

Watching Wei Xu who was already being engulfed, the old man felt very confident. No matter how fast he walked, he would fall into the lightning pool constructed by the profound lights too. He believed he could kill this young scholar here.

He was already a high-level Great Beyond Realm cultivator; only one step away from Nepenthe Realm. There were not many people in the world who could surpass him. Therefore, after he made his move, he guessed the outcome.

But a moment later, Wei Xu arrived in front of him.

It was unknown how he passed through that shower of profound light, but it was obvious from his appearance that he did not exert any effort. He should have easily arrived here without any injuries.

This seemingly ordinary scholar was now standing quietly in front of him, looking at him.

There was no emotion in his eyes, no ridicule towards the old man in front of him, and also no feeling of relief. He just looked at him calmly.

The old man finally understood something and had a look of disbelief as he said, "Nepenthe?!"

He naturally would not have any doubts that someone like the dean of the academy was a Nepenthe Realm cultivator, but he never thought that this seemingly ordinary scholar in front of him would also be a Nepenthe cultivator?

How was this possible?!

Was he not just the dean's disciple?!

Nepenthe had always been considered the highest realm in the world by cultivators, Those characters who stepped into this realm would inevitably have a great reputation in the cultivation world. However, although the scholar in front of him had some reputation too, it was clearly not a product of his cultivation realm.

It was primarily because he was too young. He should still be under 40 years old now.

A Nepenthe cultivator at this age was really rare.

Wei Xu did not answer any of his questions, nor did he care about his astonishment and regret. He just reached out his ordinary hand to pat his shoulder.

Countless feelings of fear instantly surged in the old man's eyes, so he suddenly retreated, trying to avoid that hand. At this moment, he unleashed his lifetime cultivation. But, the alley was only so long, no matter how fast he retreated, there would always be an end. However, that hand was always in front of him, and it was still landing.

The old man had already retreated to the end of the alley.

There was nowhere else to retreat.

In reality, this was not the case. He could have smashed through the stone wall and fled farther away, but Wei Xu did not give him this opportunity.

Wei Xu's hand fell.

The hand seemed to land very normally, just like an elder seeing a satisfactory junior, so they patted their shoulder with some joy. This kind of action was very natural and ordinary, and it was difficult to associate it with a character like a Nepenthe cultivator. However, in the instant when Wei Xu's hand came into contact with the old man's shoulder, a cracking sound was heard.

With a crack, his bones shattered.

With a thud, he was forced to kneel under this force.

With a splutter, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The old man lifted his head in terror, his eyes full of regret and shock.

There was also endless pain.

Chen Chao who was watching this while standing in the distance was a little dazed. That scholar, he just patted that old man and he became like this?

Was this a legendary Nepenthe cultivator?

The girl could not help but sigh, "He's stronger than you."

Chen Chao snapped out of his trance. Hearing this, he was just about to refute, but the girl comforted him, "It's okay, you're quicker than him!"

Chen Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say that, or I'll have a falling out with you."

The girl looked at Chen Chao with some surprise and asked, "Why? You're very quick in the first place."

Chen Chao wanted to explain it, but he thought that mentioning those things might leave a bad impression on the saintess in front of him, so he dropped the matter.

……

……

Wei Xu withdrew his hand. The old man in front of him was already seriously injured and his vitality had began rapidly diminishing. It seemed that he would not live much longer.

"I gave you a chance, but you chose the wrong path."

Wei Xu was very calm, feeling that these words were somewhat meaningful. He thought that when he returned to the academy, he could have a conversation with Teacher and maybe even leave a note on a certain book in the future.

Thinking about these things, he turned around and walked towards the end of the alley without any interest in listening to the old man's final words or asking where he came from. There would not be too much meaningful information in his final words. He did not think the old man in front of him would tell him where he came from.

Those who acted as double agents naturally kept their lips tightly sealed.

Wei Xu returned next to Chen Chao and the young girl. Chen Chao hurriedly clasped his hands to thank him, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for saving us."

Wei Xu smiled and said, "Although you have some connection with my little junior sister, I didn't come this time to save you."

Chen Chao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, feeling a bit embarrassed. But he did not say anything. He just thought that this scholar's personality was really a little... straightforward.

Wei Xu looked at the young girl and said, "My teacher asked me to take the Saintess to stay at the academy for a while. The saintess' master is also waiting for her at the academy now."

Wei Xu did not know the girl's name and did not take the initiative to ask for it either. Using the title "saintess" was good enough.

After the previous incident, the young girl already knew that the scholar in front of her was the dean's disciple. Therefore, she thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Wei."

This time, Wei Xu accepted the thanks calmly.

He came from the academy to rescue her, so it was natural for her to thank him now.

Wei Xu said, "In that case, please follow me, Saintess."

The girl glanced at Chen Chao beside her and did not follow Wei Xu. She just turned her head and asked, "Mr. Wei, may I ask if the capital is still dangerous now?"

Wei Xu thought for a moment and understood the implication. He shook his head and said, "No one will do anything to Saintess in the Divine Capital now."

Those who came to assassinate her were originally just fighting for that opportunity when the Divine Capital was not vigilant. Now that the opportunity no longer existed, they naturally would not take action anymore. The current Divine Capital was definitely very quiet.

The fury of the Great Liang emperor had to be borne by someone. No one would choose to test the waters at this time.

Chen Chao saved the girl to avoid a storm from raging in the Divine Capital. But now, there would naturally still be a storm, but the meaning would be different.

The girl looked at Chen Chao and said, "Commander Chen, can you send me to the academy?"

Chen Chao thought for a moment and said, "This is the responsibility of my Left Guard."

He naturally knew that the other party was giving the Left Guard a way out. After all, the Left Guard was the one responsible for the girl's safety today. If the girl was taken away by Wei Xu in the end, the Left Guard would at least be charged with the crime of failing to protect her.

Wei Xu understood the girl's thoughts and did not say anything much, he just said, "Then I'll make a move first."

Calling someone 'quick' has a double meaning in the words, it can also mean premature ejaculation...
