YAMA RISING

Chapter 153: Invisible



Chapter 153: Invisible

The air around them had practically transformed into a glass like material. He reached out with his hand and tapped the air in front of him.

Qin Ye gulped nervously.

He felt as though he were in the heart of a torrential storm right now. The shard of King Yanluo’s Seal on his chest was the only one that kept his determination going. His head was percolating with cold sweat, and yet he dared not move a single muscle, almost as though a single movement would render the shard of King Yanluo’s seal incapable of protecting him.

And this is stronger than Arthis, no less!

One minute later, the invisible storm around vanished as abruptly as it began. Zhou Xianlong stared at his own hands in dismay, “Nothing?”

He stared at his own hands in a daze for some time, before suddenly turning to look at Qin Ye, “How did you sense it earlier?”

“If you hadn’t sensed it in the nick of time, it would have devoured all of the Yang energy in his body, and it would be as though nothing had ever happened when morning comes.”

Zhou Xianlong nodded his head. There was no reason to be suspicious of Qin Ye. Yin spirits and humans were existences that were fundamentally opposed to each other. No human could possibly cooperate with the forces of the netherworld, since their minds were filled with a primal thirst for blood and flesh. Only a fool would go down the path of no return and deal with the devil.

“You’re going down the right track. Cultivate well. I’ve got a good feeling about you.” He responded softly, “But for now, brace yourself.”

He had just been praised!

His understanding of Infernal Judges had always been this - venomous, strong-willed, and incapable of resisting the urge to diss and oppose him. Therefore, this was the very first time that he’d heard praise coming from the mouth of a Judge-class entity, and a human cultivator no less!

Ka-ka-ka-ka… The grounds of the previously peaceful academy suddenly trembled slightly. The true energy surrounding Zhou Xianlong’s body wasn’t visible, but his clothes immediately began to flutter wildly on its own as Zhou Xianlong slowly drifted off the ground and hovered in the air.

“Law of the Five Thunderbolts.” Zhou Xianlong slowly enunciated each word. Then, he slammed his palm down abruptly and drifted away in an instant.

“Bloody hell…” Qin Ye stared at Zhou Xianlong as though he had seen a ghost. In his stupor, he even tuned out the countless screams and scuttling of footsteps across the entire building.

One second later, the lights in the room switched on with a click.

And then, silence.

“This… things aren’t as they seem… Hang on! Don’t close the door! Listen to me! Holy shit! Get your ass in here right now!!”

Despite having explained the situation a number of times, the students had nevertheless sent him off with an expression that had written him off as “that kind of instructor”. Qin Ye’s heart was incredibly forlorn.

“Have you heard? One of the instructors has made a move against his student!” Local Bully typed excitedly in the instructor group chat for the Faculty of Combat, “That’s awesome! I wanted to give a huge thumbs up when I first heard the news!”

Qin Ye switched off the Momo app numbly, shut the door to his dorm room, and then looked at Arthis as he muttered with displeasure, “I’ll say, can’t you find a better opportunity to…”

It was because the atmosphere in the room was far too peculiar.

Nor was she playing LOL.

It’s too strange! That’s not the kind of scene I would regularly be seeing!

Bang! Instantly, a red flash shot straight into his head, sending him flying straight back into the door.

It’s still the same old Princess Lordaeron I know.

“Nearby?” Qin Ye rubbed his reddened brows, “Unclean? Yin spirits?”

Arthis added icily, “This enemy of Hell ranks even higher in priority than the daolords around.”

“Like I said, there are some things which you don’t need to know right now. And this matter, in particular, is one of them. The more you know, the more troubled you will be. Furthermore, we can’t even be certain whether the others are intentionally targeting the First Academy of Cultivators or are just passing through.”

Arthis shook her silicone head, “The human Judge is stronger than I am. I wouldn’t dare to open my infernal eyes thoughtlessly in a place like this. And these things can only be seen by an Emissary of Hell…”

Arthis immediately halted her lips, and she changed the topic when she spoke once again, “It’s fine if the other party is simply passing through. After all, Cathay’s Hell is currently riddled with holes. But if their target is none other than the First Academy of Cultivators…”

“What in the world is that thing?”

Qin Ye groaned in frustration and collapsed on the bed. Then, he tilted his head towards the rest, “Your ‘we’ clearly doesn’t include me, does it? Is it really that good an idea to leave the future King Yanluo out of all these discussions?”

“Can you please watch your words? Since when did I allow you to call me Arthis? I can ignore the fact that my name has changed, but the name even suggests that my gender has changed!”

“... Since when have you been reading Mr Lu Xun’s works? And the True Story of Ah Q at that…”

Nobody was aware that on that very same night, Zhou Xianlong called up all of the Hellguard-class professors and combed through the entire First Academy of Cultivators that night, but found absolutely nothing.

They didn’t even know who that entity was.

The final day of rest just before the commencement of work was always the most precious day. He naturally also woke up with a great mood and outlook for the day ahead.

Wang Chenghao, Ye Xingchen.

Wang Chenghao’s response nearly caused his jaws to drop to the ground.

Ahhhhhh… There were so many people out there last night! How do you think I could’ve possibly noticed the twitch of a little shrimp’s eye?!

“It’s fine, it’s nothing much… Hang on!” Qin Ye gave a conditioned response before catching himself with a blink and a pause. In that instant, Qin Ye almost reacted with a tight slap to Ye Xingchen’s face.

What do you think this was? A fifty-fifty situation? What the hell have you youngsters got in your head these days, huh?!

Ye Xingchen coughed lightly and glossed over the details. It was obvious he didn’t want people to know about the awkward situation that transpired last night, “Head of Faculty Zhou called for me this morning. That was when I realized exactly what went on last night. Thank you, Instructor Qin. If not for your discovery, I might have… already…”

It’s fine as long as you catch my drift…

These were all students under his charge when all was said and done. It was necessarily a good idea to take good care of them.

Qin Ye looked at him gratefully - You’re still the one that knows me best.

Leave.

And shut the door behind you!

1. Lu Xun is one of the earliest and best known modern chinese writers (1881-1936). The True Story of Ah Q is one of his works.

2. This is just a figure of expression. They’re still outside Qin Ye’s room right now.
