Peace Order-Chapter 1559 - 19: Battle, Battle!

Such a rare change of taste, how can we go home so quickly?

No, definitely not going home!

Xuanhu Mountain Lord has suggested returning several times.

As Southwest Auspicious nibbled on Jiangnan’s bamboo, it replied, "Delightful here, no thoughts of returning."

This frustrated Xuanhu Mountain Lord greatly.

Even now, faithfully following the Qilin, Xuanhu Mountain Lord and Sun God Bird did not come, Iron-eating Beast was fierce and determined, full of confidence.

Staring directly at the Qilin.

Qilin!

Do not think you can shake off this auspicious beast!

Do not think to hog all the good fruit!

Qilin’s expression remained unchanged, without any fear, not at all afraid. It didn’t reveal to that tailing Iron-eating Beast what the so-called Academy’s good fruit truly is.

As for the reason for agreeing to bring this guy along—

It was naturally to leave a retreat for itself.

Hmph, though this Qilin has now consumed that pearl with a delightful taste, successfully surpassing the limit, exceeding its past self, it’s still under five hundred years old, beating that old fellow is surely ninety-eight percent unlikely.

But if there’s still a two percent chance of losing.

Cough cough, having an outsider to protect—

As the saying goes, family shame shouldn’t be made public, with this Iron-eating Beast around, at least that old fellow won’t hit me too hard.

Well, surely it won’t hit this guy as well!

Qilin and Iron-eating Beast, both loaded with cunning, exchanged a glance and shared a slight smile.

Both creatures are on good terms with Mr. Wen Qingyu.

Because Mr. Wen often feeds them.

Qilin smiled, then knocked on the door again.

This time the knock went unanswered.

Squeak—

The Confucian Ancient Path slowly opened, perhaps because the Academy was too quiet now, as the door opened, the light inside was somewhat dim and deep, Little Qilin’s body stiffened, Iron-eating Beast’s bamboo-biting paused.

In the deep darkness, seemingly four eyes glowed faintly.

Old Qilin, and a lofty old scholar slowly emerged.

Old Qilin bore a cheerful smile.

Little Qilin stiffened.

Iron-eating Beast sat there like a human, grasping bitten bamboo in both hands, staring blankly at the towering scholar, suddenly recalling that once, long ago, there was another, eight feet tall, broad-shouldered, sturdy-backed, and a face so fierce it seemed to frighten ghosts, wandering around wielding a great sword; Iron-eating Beast still remembers meeting him.

Back then, the tall scholar seemed to be cooking, with a disciple very skilled in culinary arts.

Hungry for his dishes, rushed to get a bit.

But before saying anything, that god-like scholar turned and smiled at him.

Strong and powerful, strong and powerful!

Then remembered nothing.

Damn, Ancient Confucianism?!!

Iron-eating Beast, Little Qilin exchanged a glance, feeling enlightened.

Little Qilin turned, "Ah, sorry, wrong door!"

Iron-eating Beast turned, "I, this Auspicious Beast, am just passing by!"

They moved swiftly.

But unfortunately, there’s someone faster.

Old Qilin’s paw gently rested on Little Qilin’s head, tenderly, three thousand years of Qilin power softly halted its movement.

"Weren’t you after good fruit?"

"I’ve got plenty of good fruit here."

Gongyang Suwang clasped Iron-eating Beast’s forehead, lifting it up.

The Confucian head laughed heartily, "Why so eager to leave?"

"Hahaha, since you’re here."

"Old friend, close the door, host the guest!"

Old Qilin and Gongyang Suwang laughed heartily, clearing the stuffy and stifling air from their hearts of late, only feeling unbelievably joyful and pleased, along with loud noises, the two elders approached, Little Qilin, Iron-eating Beast fell on the ground, eyes almost rolled into circles, Old Qilin praised, "Your ability has increased greatly, if fighting directly, I would have to evade, but unfortunately, divine ability grew, brain did not follow."

"In front of Confucian Ancient Path, challenging us two."

"Back in the day, even Sword Madman at his most arrogant didn’t behave like this."

"Murong Longtu, seeing you both, would surely give praise!"

"Hahahaha!"

Little Qilin, Iron-eating Beast lying on the ground, claws dragging furrows into the earth, then amidst Confucianism’s hearty laughter, they were pulled back.

Boom!!!

Door shut tight.

"Ahhhhhh, Guan Yi, save me!"

"Ahhhhhh, I just wanted to eat good fruit, I don’t want to meet such Ancient Confucian School madmen!"

.........

Boom!!!

Weapons clashed fiercely, igniting radiant gold light, then instantly extinguished and scattered, Ji Zichang’s eyes reflecting this flicker, dispersing, the intense Military Evil Qi causing Ji Zichang’s breathing to tighten, having clashed several times already, Li Guanyi did not fall behind.

Li Guanyi raised the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd in hand, the surrounding Military Evil Qi gradually rolled open and dispersed.

A notably tall man walked out slowly, brows flying high, silent and grim, black hair falling freely down to his waist, still adorned in shattered armor, upon which were hundreds of sword scars and blade marks, but that School of Military grim aura, was indeed the strongest Li Guanyi had ever seen.

Eight hundred years ago, invincible Overlord.
