"The order was given personally by the Eastern Saint. It is a matter of great importance and we were all unaware of it!" replied the Juren general who was guarding the place.
When everyone heard that it was the order from Saint Dong, they stopped asking questions and moved away from the door to discuss in a low voice.
"Do you think it's because of the blessing of the star of literature? Not many people knew about this news yesterday, but today it has suddenly spread to everyone in the city."
"Alas... Not only does the whole city know about it, but the rebellious scholars are spreading rumors with all their might, saying that the literary star does not shine on the people of the ten countries, which has caused panic among the ten countries! My visit to the Holy Academy this time may be related to this matter."
"This matter has become a big deal. Even my eight-year-old kid is worried. On the way here, even people at the market were talking about it. There were all kinds of speculations. Some even said that a genius appeared in the demon tribe and was blessed by the literary star."
"You are lying! It must be a human! At most, it must be a human captured by the monsters!"
"Do you think it could be those people from Shengxu, such as Fang Yun and Yan Yukong?"
"What do you think Wenquxingzhao is? Wenquxingzhao only looks at potential, while Wenquxingzhao looks at talent as well as potential. Fang Yun's talent... you know what, when he was a scholar, his poems were known all over the world, so he really has the qualifications. But it's totally impossible for him because his literary rank is too low."
"Yan Yukong is unlikely. He is better than Yi Zhishi back then, but if he can get the Wenquxing when he is a juren, then he is not just better, but catching up with Confucius! Unless his talent is comparable to the top hundreds of people in the world, then he may get the Wenquxing when he is a juren."
"But someone has already calculated that no one in our human race became a sub-sage, half-sage, great scholar or university scholar that day, not even a Hanlin, so how could it be the human race's literary star? What those rebellious scholars said was absolutely right, which is why they caused panic. Some people even suspected that the literary star no longer favored our human race."
"Our human race is growing stronger day by day. Even though we have lost the Wenqu Star, our talent is still growing. It's just growing very slowly. However, Wenqu Star is the source of talent after all. It's tolerable if it just stops shining on us, but if it really shines on the monsters, then half of our race will collapse."
"In fact, the most terrifying rumors are not about the monsters, but about the rebellious scholars! Once the rebellious scholars are blessed by the star of literature, the faith of the human race will collapse, and a large number of rebellious scholars will inevitably appear."
"Of course the rebels want to do so, but luckily the fortune teller doesn't shine on them, otherwise they would have publicized it and let all ten nations know."
"Alas, the news is uncertain now. The people of the ten nations are in a panic. If the saints do not take action, it may become a disaster!"
"The Holy Court is now closed, perhaps because of this matter."
"The Holy Court is rarely closed. The last time it was closed was when the demons attacked Liangjie Mountain. They said that Liangjie Mountain was about to be breached, and they might have to ask the number one killer harp, 'No. Bell', to be deployed. But in the end, the dragons took action, so they didn't use the No. Bell."
"In that case, something big might happen today! Why is the hospital closed for the second time in a hundred years?"
"I can't guess..."
Suddenly, Daofeng Mountain seemed to shake, and then everything returned to silence.
The sound of snowflakes flying through the air, the sound of continuous collisions, the sound of snowflakes hitting the force of Wen Dan rebounding... Many sounds echoed in his ears. Fang Yun could not hear the sound from ten feet away.
Poisonous blades and snowflakes were swirling all over the sky, forming an endless killing array around.
At first Fang Yun didn't care, but after going half a mile, Fang Yun finally realized that if he hadn't successfully broken through to the second level of Wendan before, he would have to leave in disgrace.
Without the protection of the power of the second level of Wendan, even if a Jinshi came here, he could only keep using protective poems to resist, and apart from that, he could do nothing.
At this moment, in the starry sky of Fang Yun’s Wen Palace, a crystal clear teardrop-shaped star emitted a faint light, forming a powerful force to protect Fang Yun.
The power of a first-level literary director is limited, and it is difficult for him to exist for a long time, and he may even be unable to withstand many attacks. However, a second-level literary director does not have these shortcomings.
The stars in the Wen Palace sky represent the poems and essays written by Fang Yun. Originally, these stars could only shine on his talent, allowing it to grow slowly. But now, all these stars shine on Fang Yun's literary courage, continuously restoring his power, allowing Fang Yun to continue moving forward in the poisonous snow.
The light of Wen Dan was like water, falling on every part of Wen Palace, and Wen Palace was therefore slowly strengthened and enhanced.
On the shoulder of Fang Yun's statue in Wen Palace, the spirit of Wudie is sleeping, and it keeps absorbing the power emitted by Wendan, and transforms this power into a power with similar properties to Ruoshui and Qifeng, and sends it into Wendan. After being cleansed by Wendan, it spreads outward with Wendan.
Just the unintentional actions of Wudie and Fang Yun increased the protective ability of Wendan's power by a full 20%!
The 20% difference may seem small, but it is actually the difference between Fang Yun being extremely cautious and paying a little attention. For the people in the seventh corridor, this is the difference between death and life.
In the sky full of poisonous snow, Fang Yun's eyes were firm, not affected by the poisonous snow like hidden weapons at all. He squinted his eyes occasionally, trying to see the scenery clearly in the vast white snow, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see a hundred feet away, and anything farther away was blocked by the dense snow flakes.
If you don't care about the attack power of the poisonous snow, these snowflakes that occasionally flash green are more beautiful than any natural snow scene.
Fang Yun walked while being on guard and thinking about how to deal with the situation.
"Dou Ji, one of the three saints, was frozen in the fifth corridor and disappeared. Ying Yan and Long Ling should be ahead."
"A total of eight Saints came to the Comet Corridor this time. Among the rest of the Saints, the Wolf Barbarian Saint, Lang Li, hates me the most and will definitely not let me go. Although the Demon King's Third Prince is not a Saint, his strength is definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary Saint. He hated me to the core because I wiped out a part of the Imperial Capital Army, and he failed to frame me and I got the Moon Phase Divine Stone of the Full Moon. He never targeted me along the way. I'm afraid he is working hard for the Star King. Once he becomes the Star King, he will kill me."
"As for the Evil Lord, I'm afraid he has taken over the body of a demon or barbarian, because the demons are the most powerful here, and the human race has Wen Gong and Wen Dan, so it is extremely difficult for him to take over the body, and he can only be controlled as a puppet. We can see it at a glance. Fu Yue didn't say whether the one who can command the Frost Dog is the Evil Lord, but the Evil Lord definitely cannot pass through the first six corridors. If he wants to reach the seventh corridor, he must follow a certain Holy Son all the time."
When Fang Yun thought of this, he carefully recalled the monsters and barbarians surrounding each of the Holy Sons.
"The Holy Son and the Holy Tribe monsters are all protected by the power of the semi-holy bloodline. No matter how powerful the evil king is, he can't seize the bodies of the descendants of the saints. Therefore, the evil king can only place his spirit on ordinary monsters."
Fang Yun recalled carefully, from the first corridor to the seventh corridor, and was surprised to find that there were actually two monsters that met his basic conditions: they were ordinary monsters and could at least enter the fourth corridor from the first corridor.
One is a wolf demon general, and the other is an ape demon general.
Fang Yun became more and more curious, and carefully recalled the scenes of seeing the two monsters on the road. The ape monster named Yuan Bei was the most amazing. He almost always traveled alone and hardly cooperated with other monsters. Moreover, Yuan Bei had offered advice in front of the huge bronze gate, which determined the ownership of the Mist Butterfly, and finally let Fang Yun get it.
Apart from this, this ape was no different from other monsters along the way, but it was able to miraculously reach the seventh corridor.
Fang Yun still remembered that after the fox demon left, Yuan Bei talked to other demons. It was no longer prepared to go deep into the seventh corridor, and just stayed at the safe door until the end of the Comet Corridor. It didn't look like the Evil King at all. Moreover, with the Evil King's character, even if he took over the body of an ape demon, it would be impossible for him to communicate with other demons in such an idle and indifferent way.
Fang Yun finally recalled the performance of the wolf demon general.
Fang Yun found that the wolf demon had looked at him with an unusually cold look. It had been following the Wolf Barbarian Saint, Lang Li. Since entering the Comet Corridor, it was the only ordinary demon barbarian around Lang Li, and the rest of the followers were Saint Clan demon barbarians. It never spoke, and never showed any killing intent towards Fang Yun or anyone else.
The more this happened, the more Fang Yun suspected that the wolf demon was hiding something.
"The road ahead will probably be difficult. What star is this Star King? Why did the Demon King risk being killed by the saints of the human race to kill the Kong Family Dragon himself? He knows Fu Yue's secret, and I know it too, but everything Fu Yue said does not involve the Star King. Is it only by becoming the Star King that the mystery of why the Demon King personally killed the Kong Family Dragon can be solved?"
"In Fu Yue's memory, the Demon Ancestor took a fancy to the star fragment, snatched it and sent it into the comet, refined it into the Comet Corridor to conceal it from the public, and then allowed the demon barbarians to enter to select the Star King. So, what was the purpose of the Demon Ancestor?"
"Moreover, in Fu Yue's memory, there is only the scene where the demon ancestor imprisoned him. It did not mention the specific reason for imprisoning him. Obviously, it does not want me to know."
Soon, Fang Yun adapted to the power of the poisonous blade snow and quickened his pace to run forward.
While running, Fang Yun suddenly slowed down and looked to the front left.
I saw that the snowflakes floating there were blood-colored. Upon closer inspection, I saw many small pieces of bones, flesh, fur, etc. on the ground.
Fang Yun was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, hesitating whether to eliminate the danger first or escape quickly, when he heard a familiar voice coming from there.
"I never thought you could come to the Seventh Corridor, and you came alone! You don't have the power to protect the war poems, which shows that you have been using the power of Wen Dan to get here. And you seem so relaxed, you must have reached the second level of Wen Dan! It's been less than half a month since you became a juren. With this talent and strength, you are truly a sub-sage! You are really well hidden!"
Fang Yun also didn't expect that the voice of the Wolf Barbarian Saint would appear at this time, but the voice was too decadent.
The sound came from where the bloody snowflakes were, but there was only minced meat there, and no complete monster.
"I am a wolf spirit now!"
Fang Yun was stunned. After a powerful monster was killed, it would not die immediately, but would turn into a monster spirit. The Monster Saint could use the monster spirit to resurrect it.
However, the monsters were extremely fragile. When clearing the battlefield, the scholar could kill all of them by simply using a war poem.
"Are you really dead?" (To be continued...)
