After eliminating the high-ranking cadres of the Hongchen Pavilion, Ye Ling yawned and walked to the edge of the rooftop again, looking down at the other Hongchen Pavilion cultivators below.
The Hongchen Pavilion cultivators looked up at Ye Ling standing at the edge of the rooftop, all of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their hearts filled with endless fear.
That was…
A demon rampant in the world!
Seeing their fearful expressions, Ye Ling chuckled, leaped down, and landed steadily in their midst.
When the other Hongchen Pavilion cultivators saw Ye Ling jump down, they instinctively retreated, not daring to confront him, nor even to look him in the eye!
Although Ye Ling was alone, the Hongchen Pavilion cultivators felt as if they were the ones surrounded!
Ye Ling swept his gaze over the cultivators, then ignored them and walked towards the sports field.
The cultivators dared not block Ye Ling's path and automatically made way for him.
In the vast Daocheng University, with nearly a thousand Hongchen Pavilion cultivators, not a single one dared to breathe heavily at this moment.
A Hongchen Pavilion cultivator guarding the sports field trembled all over as Ye Ling approached the barrier.
In extreme fear, he suddenly made up his mind, grabbed a female student by the hair, pulled her up, and held a knife to her neck, shouting at Ye Ling, "You, don't come any closer! Take one more step, and I'll kill this girl!"
The girl was so frightened her face turned ashen, while the other students crouched on the ground, hugging their heads tightly, filled with extreme fear, lest they be targeted as well!
Seeing the cultivator using a student to threaten him, Ye Ling's smile grew even colder.
"You truly have courage!"
As his voice fell, Ye Ling vanished outside the barrier.
"No one has ever dared to threaten me in front of my face."
The next moment, Ye Ling appeared before the cultivator, startling him into instinctively slashing the knife towards the girl's neck.
However, before he could even cut the girl's neck, a hole was opened in his forehead by Ye Ling's demonic energy, and he fell straight down.
Blood stained the sports field.
Screams erupted.
"Murder!"
When had these students ever witnessed such a scene?
They all screamed, and many even wet their pants!
However, the girl Ye Ling saved was relatively calmer, not shouting.
Although she had collapsed to the ground, she knew Ye Ling had come to help them and kept thanking him.
The surrounding cultivators were also greatly intimidated by Ye Ling, dropping their weapons and fleeing the barrier in a panic.
In the eyes of the Hongchen Pavilion cultivators, Ye Ling was now a demon who killed without blinking.
That was not something humans could contend with!
Ignoring the fleeing cultivators, Ye Ling helped the girl up and gently comforted her, "Can you still stand?"
*Puff! Puff! Puff!*
While Ye Ling was attending to the girl, the fleeing Hongchen Pavilion cultivators, every single one of them, had their hearts explode, falling straight onto the sports field!
"Mm, mm…"
The girl Ye Ling helped up was pale-faced, her legs still trembling, but she could barely stand steadily and nodded at Ye Ling.
Although she was also scared, she was the bravest among the students. She could barely steady her mind and accept the supernatural powers at the moment.
Ye Ling continued, "It's good that you can stand. Rescuers will arrive soon. Stay here and don't run around."
"Can you keep an eye on them for me?"
The girl glanced at the students in the sports field who were already stunned by fear, gritted her teeth, and said tremblingly, "I, I'll try…"
"Thank you for your cooperation." Ye Ling chuckled, "What's your name?"
"Su Xiaobai."
"Su Xiaobai…" Ye Ling repeated the name, "I'll remember you."
With that, Ye Ling vanished from his spot to deal with the other Hongchen Pavilion cultivators within the barriers.
After Ye Ling disappeared, Su Xiaobai forcibly steadied her collapsing worldview and took a deep breath.
Suppressing her fear, she turned to encourage the students, "Students, don't panic. Rescuers will be here soon. Everyone stay put and don't go anywhere!"
"Trust the government…"
When the Hongchen Pavilion cultivators saw Ye Ling effortlessly bypass the barrier and eliminate those within it, their last psychological defense completely collapsed, and they lost all will to fight.
A large number of Hongchen Pavilion cultivators abandoned their armor and weapons, fleeing the Daocheng University in a panic, unwilling to fight Ye Ling any further.
With one person slaughtering nearly a thousand cultivators, Ye Ling, like a demon god, was deeply imprinted in the souls of everyone present!
After this, if any cultivator managed to escape alive, Ye Ling…
Would become famous throughout the world!
Outside Daocheng University.
Wang Liren, who had received Ye Ling's message, arrived with the Dragon Department cultivators to provide support. He happened to see the Hongchen Pavilion cultivators crying and fleeing Daocheng University, and they were all stunned.
A Dragon Department cultivator saw the fleeing Hongchen Pavilion cultivators and asked Wang Liren, "Boss, what should we do?"
Upon learning that the Hongchen Pavilion was in Daocheng University, the entire Dragon Department had prepared for an extremely difficult offensive battle.
After all, there were many innocent teachers and students in the school, and the Dragon Department dared not act rashly with those ordinary people held hostage by the Hongchen Pavilion.
To prepare for long-term negotiations, the Dragon Department's high command had even urgently sealed off the area around the school, cutting off all nearby networks to prevent information leaks and avoid negative social impacts.
Even the military regions surrounding Daocheng were on standby at all times!
The Dragon Department had made thorough preparations to minimize social impact.
But now, seeing a large number of Hongchen Pavilion cultivators escaping, all the Dragon Department cultivators felt that something had gone wrong.
Wang Liren's mouth twitched. Just seeing the terrified expressions on the faces of those Hongchen Pavilion cultivators, he could imagine…
What terrible things Ye Ling had done in the school!
Wang Liren tried to calm himself and ordered, "Capture all those who have escaped. Assign a group of brothers to guard the perimeter of the university, ensuring not a single one gets away. The remaining brothers will follow me into the university to rescue the other hostages!"
"Yes!"
At Wang Liren's command, the Dragon Department cultivators began to divide their tasks in an orderly manner, quickly deploying their formations and advancing into Daocheng University!
After all, the Dragon Department was a regular force, and obeying orders was the most basic requirement.
In terms of discipline, apart from the Cangyan Army, no other cultivator sect in the country could compare to the Dragon Department.
"What a pleasing formation… worthy of the Dragon Department!"
High above Daocheng University, a black-haired man wearing ink-colored Hanfu, more beautiful than a woman, stood in the void, smiling as he watched the Dragon Department members enter Daocheng University below.
Then, the black-haired man shifted his attention to Ye Ling. A hint of coldness flashed in his smiling eyes.
"This guy has disrupted his master's plans time and again. Not only did he destroy the East Sea branch, but he also killed the Heavenly Luo Ghost King, abducted Jiang Muya, and ruined all of his master's arrangements in Daocheng… he deserves to die!"
The black-haired man muttered to himself, his killing intent growing stronger.
"Ye Ling, no matter who you are… you will die here today!"
He took out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve, unrolled it, and began to chant an obscure incantation.
"Hmm?"
Ye Ling, who had just finished clearing out the Hongchen Pavilion cultivators in Daocheng University, suddenly felt a killing intent emanating from high above. He couldn't help but look up and saw the black-haired man standing in the void.
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who is he…"
He felt a completely different aura from that black-haired man!
