Chapter 1390 – 1390 He Was Once a Hero
1390 He Was Once a Hero
Under the influence of the Demon Subduing War a thousand years ago, all the righteous path cultivators in the cultivation world ostracized all experts who cultivated non-spiritual energy.
For example, fiendish cultivators and ghost cultivators.
The reason Cang Lang Continent was willing to accept the existence of Purifying Spirit Masters was that they weren’t aggressive powerhouses and their existences seemed to make up for the shortcomings of Beast Tamers.
Therefore, Professor Ekel disliked Ye Qingyang, who was a ghostly cultivator.
!!If it was any other time, Ye Qingyang would definitely glare at Ekel when he heard this. However, he just heard about what happened a thousand years ago, so he could understand how deep Ekel and the others’ hatred for fiendish cultivators and ghostly cultivators was, so he didn’t say anything.
However…
“The person who killed Cang Lang Academ’sy student was a great fiendish cultivator, not a ghostly cultivator. Please be careful with your words.” The current Ye Qingyang was no longer willing to swallow his anger like before.
In the past, when Ye Qingyang was slandered and ostracized, he would choose to swallow his anger most of the time. This was because he was once a righteous path Beast Tamer and had once slandered ghostly cultivators.
Therefore, he didn’t have the confidence to punch those who mocked him.
However, the current Ye Qingyang had completely come to terms with his ghostly cultivator identity.
In this world, there were many paths, so people could cultivate different paths. If they mastered their path well and did the right thing, they would be good people.
Whether a person was good or evil had nothing to do with the Dao he cultivated, but was closely related to his character.
Therefore, Ye Qingyang was full of confidence now and was no longer ashamed of his identity as a ghost cultivator.
Professor Ekel, on the other hand, felt that he was in the wrong after being rebuked by Ye Qingyang. He couldn’t find a reason to refute Ye Qingyang, so he rubbed his nose and muttered in a not-so-confident tone, “You’re quite cocky despite cultivating the Ghost Dao…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang was even angrier. “I didn’t do anything evil, so why should I bear that heinous reputation?!”
“You!” Ekel was so angry that his eyes widened.
Seeing that if she didn’t stop them, Professor Ekel and Ye Qingyang would most likely fight, Yu Huang hurriedly stood between the two of them.
“Professor.” Yu Huang turned around and faced Professor Ekel as she said, “What happened after the outer academy collapsed?”
The moment Yu Huang brought up serious matters, Professor Ekel’s attention was instantly diverted.
“Although the outer academy of Cang Lang is located on the Divine Miracle Continent, there is a deep sea barrier between it and the Divine Miracle Continent. And this deep sea barrier is a protective barrier left behind by the former Prime Emperor Divine Miracle. At that time, all the professors, including Prime Emperor Taixu, didn’t expect a great fiendish cultivator to be able to break through the deep sea barrier.”
“Between the outer academy and the inner academy, there is a desolate place. When we received the distress signal from the outer academy and when Prime Emperor Taixu led us and all the elite students to the outer academy, the outer academy had already completely collapsed.”
“Because the War God Clan was too powerful, they were once nicknamed ‘overlord’ by the cultivation world of the Cang Lang Continent. Five thousand years ago, a Patriarch of the War God Clan understood that the tallest tree attracts the most wind, so he decided to lead the War God Clan out of the various alliances of the Cang Lang Continent and hide on the deserted island above the Black Sea of the Divine Miracle Continent. After that, the War God Clan no longer participated in or interfered in the matters of the three thousand worlds.”
“After the War God Clan’s Divine Clan disappeared, the other forces on the continent lost the suppression and control of this overlord and developed rapidly. In those thousands of years, hundreds of clans rose up the ranks on the Cang Lang Continent, and the atmosphere on the continent became extremely liberal. However, when the true calamity descended, the various forces on the continent became like loose sand. They were unable to gather and resist the enemy.”
Shaking his head, Ekel lamented, “That day, when he saw blood flowing like a river in the outer academy and the people in misery, Zhan Jiuxiao was so agitated that he ignored the danger of the situation and accompanied by his good friend Chu Xiaoyue, the two of them left the inner academy without permission and rushed back to the War God Clan.”
“Zhan Jiuxiao started to kneel down from the long staircase outside the War God Clan. He kowtowed with every step, and he appeared in front of the old Patriarch, the elders, and the clansmen of the War God Clan in a bloody state. He implored the clansmen to come out of the mountain to fight and kill the great fiendish cultivator to save the world!”
At this point, Ekel’s eyes were already blurred with tears. “So, tell me, how could such a compassionate child do such a despicable thing to Dongfang Brulee?!”
Hearing this, Yu Huang and the others fell silent.
Ye Qingyang asked in disbelief, “Was Prime Emperor Jiuxiao really so… so bold when he was young?” Ye Qingyang couldn’t believe that Zhan Jiuxiao had done this.
“Why not?! He’s such an outstanding and kind child. I’ve taught countless students in my life, but only he makes me feel proud and heartbroken every time I mention him.”
Ekel placed his elbow on the table and massaged his forehead with his palm. With tears in his eyes, he said, “That child loved freedom the most and often traveled all over the continent with Chu Xiaoyue. He even said that his dream was to travel through the three thousand worlds. However, in order to convince the War God Clan to fight, he knelt in front of all his clansmen and swore on his soul that he was willing to stay in the War God Clan for the rest of his life and bound together for good or ill. He was willing to dedicate his life to the War God Clan and never leave the clan!”
“After that great battle, that child completed his studies in the inner academy of Cang Lang before returning to the War God Clan. Ever since then, he rarely left the clan.”
“In the past thousand years, he has only left the War God Clan twice. The first time was 170 years ago, in order to suppress the fiendish cultivator in the Black Eye. The second time…” Ekel looked at Yu Huang as he said with a complicated expression, “It was the time he saved Zhan Jianxue from you. ”
Yu Huang saw the condemnation in Ekel’s eyes.
He doted on his student very much. Naturally, he didn’t like Yu Huang, who had caused trouble for Zhan Jiuxiao.
Yu Huang’s attitude remained calm and indifferent. She met Ekel’s condemning gaze as she said calmly, “Professor, the Prime Emperor Jiuxiao you’re talking about was indeed an admirable hero.”
“He’s a hero to begin with!” Ekel defended his student.
“The professor said that Prime Emperor Jiuxiao was injured in the Demon Subduing War, but how serious was his injury?” Yu Huang raised the previous question again.
Ekel replied with indignance, “He only woke up after nearly six months, so what do you think?”
That was indeed very serious.
Yu Huang asked again, “Then after he woke up, did he change much from before?”
Ekel was somewhat baffled, so he looked at Yu Huang and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you asking about?”
At this moment, Ekel also realized that something was wrong. He frowned at the three children in front of him suspiciously and said, “You guys are lying to me, right?!”
