Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

  Hearing that, Ye Yuan snickered coldly. "Looks like the General Affairs Department is truly a place where talents gather, and their 'virtue' was inherited!"

  Feng Ruoqing sighed as she continued explaining, "There are too many people in the Dan Wu Academy. Using students as managers are also something that cannot be helped. Not only do instructors have to teach classes, but we also have to cultivate. If we are bothered by too many miscellaneous stuff, our cultivation would have been bound to be delayed. Hence, the general affairs had always been a place where the authority was the greatest. Therefore, it was also natural to breed these conceited students."

  Ye Yuan nodded to show his understanding. Instructors were also martial artists, and they pursued the martial path. They were obviously unwilling to be distracted by these mundane matters.

  Only by letting those students with insufficient talent managed the rest could the true geniuses have the time to cultivate. This was an acceptable method.

  "Then what happened?"

  "Then Mo Yuntian did not wait for the academy to deal with him. Alone, he walked to the Nine Heavens Peak at the back of the mountain and stepped onto the Nine Heavens Road, which is almost a certain death. But he passed through it! However, the Nine Heavens Road is absolutely not something that the current you can charge through!" Huyan Yong followed up.

  "That's to say, the Elders Council can't do anything to me once I pass through this Nine Heavens Road?" Ye Yuan ignored Huyan Yong's words and replied with a question.

  "Theoretically, yes. But you have to know that when Mo Yuntian made it pass the Nine Heavens Road, he was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Since the establishment of the Dan Wu Academy, there has been a total of 237 people who attempted the Nine Heavens Road. Among them were 194 Spirit Condensation Realm students and 43 Essence Qi Realm students, but only a measly five people made it through. In these ten years, only Mo Yuntian alone made it! Students who failed to make it either died directly on the Nine Heavens Road or lost their minds, and became a complete lunatic ever since. But most importantly, none of the 43 Essence Qi Realm students survived!" Huyan Yong seemed to have also become jumpy, talking about the Nine Heavens Road.

  "Just what is on the Nine Heavens Road?" Huyan Yong's words seemed to have not changed Ye Yuan's mind.

  "Nobody knows what's on the Nine Heavens Roads. It's because before entering the Nine Heavens Road, students must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to never reveal any information encountered on the Nine Heavens Road," Huyan Yong explained.

  "Like that huh? Fascinating! Teacher Huyan, just now that old fart is surnamed Su. Is he someone from the Su Family?" Ye Yuan suddenly enquired.

  "That's right. Su Yubai is the second brother of the Su Family's Family Leader, Su Yulin!"

  "So that's the case. No wonder he had such thick killing intent towards me. Since that's the case, then I will go and try out this Nine Heavens Road!"

  Huyan Yong was stunned by Ye Yuan's words. Was the long time he spent talking wasted?

  Seeing Huyan Yong's expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just think about it, Teacher Huyan. Su Yubai wants me dead. He definitely has a way of making the Elders Council impose the death penalty on me. Since that's the case, why should I seek my death? I know that Teacher Huyan wishes to drag things out until the dean is back, but will Su Yubai grant you your wish?"

  Hearing Ye Yuan's analysis, Huyan Yong's expression turned stiff.

  These few years, the dean stood aloof above worldly considerations and did not manage most of the academy's matters, letting Su Yubai fill in the void. The Elders Council was almost mostly his people already.

  Just as Ye Yuan said, going to the Elders Council now was no different from going to be killed.

  "So, the Nine Heavens Road is my only way out!"

  Chapter 90 - All for Naught

  Behind the mountain, at the Assembly Hall, six elders were present.

  Aside from Su Yubai, two deputy deans, and three more elders, these six people plus the dean constituted the highest authority in the Dan Wu Academy.

  Of course, the dean's authority was paramount. He could veto everything in the academy with one word.

  Because he represented the Tranquil Cloud Sect!

  "Deputy Deans and Elders, an Earth Rank student was utterly lawless in the academy and brutally murdered two fellow students in broad daylight. Today, I've invited everyone to hold this meeting so that we can discuss how we should deal with this student!"

  Su Yubai was the one who called for everyone, so he obviously had to stir things up.

  "An Earth Rank student dares to be so audacious! What's there to discuss; just kill him right away!" A deputy dean exploded after hearing that.

  "That's right. According to the academy's rules, killing fellow student is the death penalty! What's the need for this meeting?" another elder echoed in approval.

  "Elder Su, I wonder who is this student?" at this moment, the other deputy dean opened his mouth to ask.

  Su Yubai gave him a displeased look. This fellow always does not cooperate. Seriously irritating.

  There were two deputy deans in the Dan Wu Academy. One martial and one alchemy.

  The deputy dean who agreed just now was called Zhang Songtao, the deputy dean who specialized in the Martial Dao. The one who asked the question was the Alchemy Dao's deputy dean, Hu Changsheng.

  Hu Changsheng was Jiang Yunhe's die-hard follower and also somebody who did not like power struggles. He was someone who pursued the Alchemy Dao with all his heart. Hence, he basically had no presence all these years. Even in the Elders Council, he virtually abandoned his voting rights.

  He was not deliberately finding fault today. He just instinctively wanted to find out more.

  After all, students were the precious resources of the Dan Wu Academy. If they mistakenly killed a genius figure, then the loss outweighed the gain.

  Although killing fellow students was essentially the death penalty, he still wanted to figure out what was going on.

  Who knew if the State of Qin's Dan Wu Academy would have a second Mo Yuntian appear?

  "This student's name is Ye Yuan, a complete lunatic! He already had a bad track record before entering the academy. Some days back, who knows what lucky encounter he had to have his strength suddenly soar. What's unexpected was that he brutally murdered two fellow students consecutively today. I suspect that he might have gotten some demonic path cultivation law, that's why he lost his mind and did such a cold-blooded thing!"

  Su Yubai avoided the crucial points and dwelled on the trivial, describing Ye Yuan as a homicidal maniac.

  The majority of the elders already stood on his side, now, there was even less to talk about.

  "Since that's the case, then there's no need to discuss. After he arrives at the Assembly Hall, just directly sentence him to death," Zhang Songtao said nonchalantly.

  As a deputy dean, his words held a certain weight.

  These few years, Su Yubai gifted him countless treasures in secret to pull him over. The two are already of the same ilk.

  As for the other elders, they did not hold as much authority as Su Yubai nor were they as strong as him. Under his coercion and persuasion, they naturally became his vassals.

  "Seconded. Such a ruthless lunatic, what's the point of keeping him if we don't kill him?" an elder said.

  "I agree as well."

  Seeing everyone agreed in unanimity to kill Ye Yuan, whether Hu Changsheng casts his vote or not obviously did not matter, so he might as well stay mum.

  Su Yubai was secretly pleased when he saw the situation. Ye Yuan that punk was simply lawless, not only did he dare to kill fellow students, he even had the nerve to scold him an old fart.

  Even without the grudge between the Su and Ye Family, he would also sentence him to death today!

  As for the cause, Su Yubai was actually aware of it already. It was indeed Lin Tiancheng who provoked matters first and forced Ye Yuan's maidservant until she was seri
ously injured and on the verge of death!

  But so what? Ye Yuan was seeking death so others could not be blamed.

  Just like that, the few people chorused in unison and determined the life and death of an Earth Rank student without even asking for the reason.

  Except, they waited a long time, yet Ye Yuan did not arrive. Rather, it was Feng Ruoqing and Huyan Yong who came.

  "What are you two doing? Where's Ye Yuan? Don't tell me you two helped him to abscond punishment?"

  Feng Ruoqing and Huyan Yong did not even get to speak, and Su Yubai already judged them.

  Huyan Yong looked at Su Yubai and smiled coldly as he said, "If he tried to escape punishment, wouldn't that fulfill your wish? Relax. Ye Yuan isn't that stupid!"

  Initially, Huyan Yong was still oblivious to the state of affairs. Only after Feng Ruoqing pointed things out, did he become enlightened on the situation.

  In reality, he also considered helping Ye Yuan to escape, and return to the academy after the dean returns. But was rejected by Ye Yuan.

  If Ye Yuan ran away, the Su Family could seize this opportunity to apply pressure and ally with the Wan Family to deal with the Ye Family.

  Ye Hang was currently in a seclusion and could not be disturbed. Ye Yuan wanted to take on this matter all by himself!

  Huyan Yong was wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts and could not wrap his mind around these schemes.

  However, Feng Ruoqing was born in the Imperial Family and was inherently s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to these things.

  "Since he didn't run, why didn't he come? Don't tell me he still needs this elder to go invite him?" Su Yubai asked in a deep voice.

  "Snort! Why should he come here? You probably already embellished the details and fooled the two deputy deans as well as the elders, and you sentenced Ye Yuan to death already. Am I right? Don't tell me he should come here and die?" Huyan Yong scoffed.

  "Insolence! You dare to question the Elders Council's authority? Do you not want to be an instructor anymore?" Su Yubai flew into a rage.

  "Is it the Elders Council's authority or your authority? Don't try to confound people's eyes!" Huyan Yong did not give in at all and was diametrically opposed to Su Yubai.

  "Alright, alright. You two, stop arguing. The main character isn't here; what's the use of quarreling? Huyan, you said that Elder Su embellished the details. Could it be that Ye Yuan did not kill anyone?" Hu Changsheng interjected right then.

  Huyan Yong still had a good favorable impression towards Hu Changsheng, so he naturally would not rebut him.

  Huyan Yong respectfully saluted with his hands and said, "It's true that Ye Yuan killed someone, but there's a reason for it, not because of what demonic path fiend that Su Yubai said!"

  Huyan Yong recounted how Lu-er was nearly r.a.p.ed and about to die, which infuriated Ye Yuan, making Hu Changsheng knitted his brows after hearing it.

  Was not this incident a similar occurrence of Mo Yuntian's episode back then?

  Hu Changsheng turned to Su Yubai and said, "Elder Su, looks like this General Affairs Department really needs to be properly reorganized!"

  Su Yubai's position was inferior to Hu Changsheng, so he naturally did not dare refute. He replied, "Dean Hu is right. Even if Dean Hu did not say anything, I will also clean up the General Affairs Department after this case. But the pressing matter at the moment is still to deal with Ye Yuan's case. Regardless of what reason he had, killing two people successively is challenging the academy's rules. This must not become a precedent! Even if he had a reason for doing things, the speed of his improvement subverts common sense. It's very likely that he's cultivating a demonic path skill. How can we spare such a person like him?"

  "That's right! The Dan Wu Academy forbids killing fellow students. The killers were already sentenced to death. Don't tell me we should make an exception for Ye Yuan? What capabilities does he have? My view is still to kill him!" Zhang Songtao said.

  "I agree with Dean Zhang's opinion. This must not be encouraged!"

  "I agree as well!"

  Seeing the situation, Feng Ruoqing came forward and bowed towards a few people, and then she said, "Ruoqing is here not to intercede for Ye Yuan, but to inform the two deputy deans and the elders that Ye Yuan is preparing to challenge the Nine Heavens Road three days later. So he will not be attending this meeting."

  "What? He wants to challenge the Nine Heavens Road? Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm taking on the Nine Heavens Road? Hahaha! Did he think that he could escape the death penalty by doing that? Since he's looking to die, then I will watch just how he dies on the Nine Heavens Road!" Su Yubai burst into laughter.

  Chapter 91 - Death Zone? Life Land?

  The news of Ye Yuan challenging the Nine Heavens Road caused a stir once again in the academy.

  "Hey, did you hear? Ye Yuan wants to take on the Nine Heavens Road!"

  "Nine Heavens Road? Is he mad? He's only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. It's certain death!"

  "He's originally a madman! Defying the academy's rules, even killing two fellow disciples in succession, scolding Elder Su an old fart right to his face, and even threatened to take his head within a year. If he isn't crazy, then what is? But this time around, he has no choice but to be mad. If he doesn't challenge the Nine Heavens Road, then he absolutely can't escape death!"

  "That's true. But isn't it still death if he charges into the Nine Heavens Road?"

  "At least he can seize the initiative in his hands by tackling the Nine Heavens Road. If he doesn't attempt this, he would be placing himself at the mercy of others. If it were me, I would also choose to challenge the Nine Heavens Road."

  "I reckon that he still possesses a trace of confidence and thinks he can make it through? If he was given more time to reach the Spirit Condensation Realm, I believe that he can definitely charge through it! But what a pity. Nobody has ever made it through as an Essence Qi Realm."

  In the Dan Wu Academy, the Nine Heavens Road was a synonym for death. It had already been a whole three years since anybody challenged it.

  Since the establishment of the State of Qin's Dan Wu Academy, which student who challenged the Nine Heavens Road was not an extraordinary genius?

  But only a measly five of them made it through!

  And these five people were all Spirit Condensation Realm without exception.

  Even if Ye Yuan already had the combat power equal to a Spirit Condensation Realm now, nobody thought highly of him.

  After all, his real strength was only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.

  And one could not borrow the power of medicinal pills to raise strength while charging through the Nine Heavens Road!

  That was to say, Ye Yuan must use the strength of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm to take on a death road which made Essence Qi Realms despair!

  Essence Qi Realm students who challenged the Nine Heavens Road all died without exception.

  The survival rate of Essence Qi Realms on the Nine Heavens Road was . . . zero!

  It was the survival rate and not the passing rate!

  Hence, Ye Yuan was not challenging it but committing suicide!

  It seemed like Ye Yuan had been continuously creating miracles after returning from being poisoned.

  But this time, nobody thinks that he could create another miracle again.

  . . . . . .

  Ye Yuan did not bother with the discussion outside. He adjusted his body condition and took care of Lu-er without letting her out of his sight.

  Ever since Lu-er lost consciousness, she had not woken up.

  Ye Yuan also did not have any solution for Lu-er's current condition. He could only use his essence energy to suppress the frost poison in her body.

  Nine Yin Absolute Meridian was no joke. Once it erupted, it would be like a volcano exploding; sweeping forth with irresistible force.

  If Ye Yuan were still an Alchemy Emperor right now, the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian naturally would not stump him. But his present cultivation was too low.


  "Ye Yuan, Miss Lu-er, she . . . could it be that even you don't have any ideas to save her?"

  Seeing the normally adorable and obedient Lu-er end up like this, Feng Ruoqing felt all sorts of emotions.

  Feng Zhirou by the side was also unexpectedly quiet today and did not quarrel with Ye Yuan blindly.

  Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Unless my master was here, otherwise . . . Sigh. With Lu-er's current condition, I can only help her sustain her life for half a year at best. After half a year, the frost poison will thoroughly erupt, and I won't be able to control it anymore."

  "That Zhang Heng really deserved to die! If it were me, I would definitely have diced him into pieces!" Feng Zhirou gnashed her teeth bitterly.

  Feng Zhirou did not feel the slightest bit of pity towards someone like Zhang Heng.

  Feng Ruoqing's eyes, on the other hand, lit up. "You really have a powerful master! Where is he? Why not invite him here? As long as he comes, not only can he treat Lu-er, even your problems would go away as well!"

  Ye Yuan purposely said that he had a master because he was afraid that Feng Ruoqing and co would let their imaginations run wild.

  Feng Ruoqing was extremely intelligent. He was already facing imminent death, and his master did not show up, which unavoidably set off some ideas.

  In reality, Ye Yuan had long seen through Feng Ruoqing who wanted to ask but kept holding back her tongue. Which was why he said this.

  However, where would his powerful master come from?

  Ye Yuan gave a bitter laugh. "Master is truly powerful, but he's somebody who can't sit still. After imparting all his knowledge, he left to travel the world. I also don't know where he is now."

  Hearing Ye Yuan said this, Feng Ruoqing was greatly disappointed.

  Somebody who could raise a monster like Ye Yuan must surely be an extremely powerful figure. He might even be an Alchemy King or even an Alchemy Sovereign from the legends!

  If he was present, how would Su Yubai dare to be unbridled?

  "But, the Nine Heavens Road is a death zone for Essence Qi Realms. Isn't it equivalent to going to die if you enter the Nine Heavens Road?"
