Chapter 256 Ou Goes Crazy: Who? Who? Who killed me!

Inside the outer city, within the Taixu Hall, four Taiyi Saints were stationed, allowing the academy's students to turn the hall upside down. Elder Zong stood by, furious but unable to speak out.

The people of Taixu Hall outwitted and outmaneuvered the Nine Capital Guards, daring to hide everything that needed to be hidden before they could.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything related to orchid poison.

During this time, Ou Rushuang hinted to everyone about the danger of the exposed fragments of the Pagoda, saying that this matter would harm the six kingdoms, cause chaos in the world, and displace the people. Therefore, she was determined not to tolerate this matter and would thoroughly investigate the people and things related to the fragments.

Wu Huaiwei smiled and agreed to fan the flames. Old Zhu didn't say anything, but Leng Rouyin found Wu Huaiwei a bit strange and said sarcastically, "The Yin-Yang School controls the fate of the nation. They must have investigated the matter of the Floating Pagoda fragments quite a bit. If Dean Ou really wants to investigate, he might as well start by investigating these few Yin-Yang School saints."

“Sure, if they find the fragment is with me, I’ll return it; if they don’t, you’ll have to exchange it for the Demon-Slaying Sword, which you possess, for the matter of you slandering someone, Rouyin. How about it?”

Wu Huaiwei moved her eyes and examined the sword at Leng Rouyin's waist.

The snow-white scabbard is carved with auspicious cloud and beast patterns, and the hilt is reddish-brown, resembling a flower branch.

Leng Rouyin didn't even glance at her, and said indifferently, "A fool's dream."

Ou Rushuang sat in the main room, ignoring the two people who were mocking each other. She calmly picked up the teacup on the table and just blew on the hot steam in the cup. Suddenly, her expression changed and she sat up abruptly.

Wu Huaiwei patted her chest lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "Dean Ou, what are you doing? It's quite frightening."

Old Zhu, who had just picked up his teacup, asked, "What's wrong? Did you find out something?"

What did you find?

Someone has tracked him down!

Ou Rushuang sensed that the sea fish were about to awaken, and also noticed that Zhang Xiangyun had entered the mirage. Zhang Xiangyun couldn't possibly run into the foggy sea at this critical juncture, unless he wanted to die.

Zhang Xiangyun's departure to the Fog Sea was not a problem, but the signs that the sea fish were about to recover made Ou Rushuang restless. She put down her teacup and said, "I have to leave first."

Before the words had even faded, the person had already vanished.

Elder Zong and the others were dumbfounded. What was going on?

Wu Huaiwei couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, saying in a leisurely tone, "Let's go see what good things our Dean Ou has hidden in the Fog Sea."

As he finished speaking, the smile in his eyes faded.

The Five Elements Light Cores released by Yu Sui will be affected by the sea fog in the Fog Sea region, making it impossible to see anything within the fog. Last time, this was the reason why they lost track of Qin Chongxue and his group, and thus failed to discover the Beast Bone Ship in time.

The same goes for this time.

But Xue Mushi immediately sent her a message: "Found it."

Coupled with Yu Sui's reaction to Ou Rushuang's sudden change in expression and her immediate departure from Taixu Hall, he knew that Xue Mushi was right; he had indeed found the mirage hiding Xuan Kui's stronghold.

Ou Rushuang was getting anxious.

Xue Mushi said, "The sea fish is affected by the Dao Gu worm's body and wants to awaken. Dean Ou will definitely sense it and go back to stop it."

"Let's go," Yu Suihui said. "Let's not get discovered."

Xue Mushi was also curious and asked her, "What will happen next?"

Yu Sui looked up at the city moat not far away, where the lights were dim.

"He's definitely not going to die, but he can't possibly go back to the academy."

As for the Xuan Kui members other than Ou Rushuang, none of them would survive with Wei Xizhen around.

Sea of ​​fog, mirage.

The wind was strong on Red Island, whipping up the fine sand from the ground to form swirling curtains of fog.

Four Taiyi Saints disembarked from a small boat that had docked at the shore. Here, they were unaffected by the thick fog of the outer city, and the houses and lights in the distance were very conspicuous.

Kuang Chu looked around and walked forward, saying, "This place is quite novel; I've never seen it before."

He squinted and looked at the cluster of wooden houses in the distance: "There are quite a few people there too."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword with lightning speed and slashed forward with one hand. The heavy black longsword slashed downwards, unleashing a sword aura with a long golden wind.

The sword wind was visible to the naked eye, resembling a golden arc-shaped wind screen, flying towards the depths of Red Island with the force of splitting mountains and cleaving seas.

The military strategist slashes with the Xun wind sword.

This domineering sword energy failed to shatter a single pebble, yet it pierced through the massive, thick boulder, striking directly at the group hiding behind the red rocks.

These people were hiding behind the red rocks, trying to send a signal to the group of wooden houses. Before they could send the signal, they were pierced through the chest by sword energy and sent flying, their blood splattering everywhere.

The Xunfeng sword slashed forward, passing through the wooden house street in the blink of an eye. Wherever the sword wind passed, the tightly closed wooden houses were affected by the air currents and banged open, causing the people inside to scream in surprise.

When the sword energy reached the center of the black wooden houses, it encountered many people who tried to block it, but all of them were struck and pierced through the chest by the sword energy.

The Xunfeng Sword Slash forcibly broke open all the doors and windows of the wooden house complex.

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Kuang Chu's face. He used his Wind Riding Technique to reach a high vantage point, looking down at the large, circular cluster of wooden houses below. The black houses contrasted sharply with the blazing firelight.

Wei Xizhen also rushed towards the very center in an instant.

Zou Qian stood still, still drinking with his head tilted back.

Liang Zhen didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He was more concerned about the dark figure on the boat behind him than the scenery in front of him: "Why don't you invite this hero who brought us into the mirage to come up and take a look?"

“He doesn’t want to come up.” As soon as Zou Qian finished speaking, the insect shadow under the black robe died, and the black robe floated lightly into the sea and sank.

Liang Zhen watched this scene with a smile but said nothing.

Zou Qian stepped forward and said, "Let's go."

Liang Zhen then caught up.

The impact of Kuang Chu's Xunfeng Sword on Red Island caused the earth to shake violently. The Xuan Kui members who were hiding underground felt the tremor, looked up in surprise, and rushed out to see what was happening.

A group of people emerged from the underground passage and found that the tremors had caused all the doors and windows to burst open. The nightlights had fallen over in the tremors, spilling oil that ignited and burst into flames.

Many people were shouting for help to put out the fire. The bald manager, touching the blood on his head, yelled angrily, "Who the hell did this?! Get the hell out here now!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sword aura pierced his throat, pinning him to the doorpost.

An overwhelming pressure descended, causing everyone on the ground to tremble. The already chaotic sea air on Red Island became even more violent, with dark clouds looming overhead, a sign of impending doom and the collapse of the sky, filling people with fear.

Kuang Chu hovered in the air, using his Wind Control Technique, and looked at the horrified gazes of the crowd below, saying, "The fragrance of this Orchid Poison is almost suffocating! Dean Ou, could it be that your Saint Realm was enhanced by Orchid Poison?"

He looked up at the figure that was flashing towards him from the opposite side.

Ou Rushuang arrived in a hurry and quickly, even using the power of the Earth's core. He entered the fog sea and arrived at the Red Rock Mirage in the blink of an eye. Even Zou Qian and Liang Zhen arrived at the central wooden house a step later than him.

Ou Rushuang landed on the roof and looked down to see a mess below. His gaze swept over the bald manager who had been impaled on a doorpost by a sword through the throat, and the Xuan Kui members who had come out from underground to study the orchid poison. His forehead twitched involuntarily.

He thought the sea fish were about to awaken, but he didn't expect that Zou Qian and his group had directly entered the Red Rock Mirage!

How did you do that?

How could this happen?

impossible!

Ou Rushuang dared not and refused to believe it.

As more and more people arrived, and after confirming the location of the mirage, Wu Huaiwei and the others outside were able to use the power of the earth's core to get there. The saints standing on the high black roof all looked at Ou Rushuang.

All the saints who remained at Taiyi Academy, except for Wan Guiyue from the Legalist school, were present at this time.

Even Yin Ziwu, the Yin-Yang School's sage who had been relatively quiet, came to watch the spectacle.

Meanwhile, Wan Guiyue, far away in the Legalist Mo Pavilion, knew that Ou Rushuang had lost as soon as she sensed the power of the Earth's core.

She looked up toward the sea of ​​fog, her eyes gleaming, but she couldn't decipher what was going on.

Faced with Kuang Chu's provocative question, Ou Rushuang did not answer. The person who usually pretended to be calm and friendly was now full of gloom, and the violent aura in her body could no longer be hidden.

"Using the information about the Pagoda fragments to lure me away, and then investigating the Fog Sea," Ou Rushuang's anger surged, and she asked coldly, "Whose idea was this?"

Zou Qian scratched her neck, pretending she knew nothing.

Wei Xizhen ignored the exasperated Ou Rushuang, squinted at the Xuan Kui members in white robes below, and said to Jiang Shulan, "Dean Jiang, I would like to ask you to come over."

Ou Rushuang waved his hand, and countless azure-red golden butterflies flew out from the void, rushing towards Wei Xizhen and Jiang Shulan. The scales scattered by the golden butterflies spread in all directions, like a golden fog enveloping the entire wooden house complex.

The two military strategists simultaneously wielded their swords, and within the golden mist, a skeletal sword spirit could be vaguely seen flashing past behind them, also drawing its sword at the same time. The sword energy struck the golden butterfly's wings, producing a sound like metal clashing.

Ou Rushuang instantly appeared below and guarded the underground entrance, trying to stop Jiang Shulan from going underground, and discovered the Lan Poison materials that were still being researched.

Wei Xizhen stood protectively in front of Jiang Shulan. In the blink of an eye, the whirlwind of deathly slow shattered the countless golden butterflies of blood that were attacking the two of them.

A white flower bloomed at Jiang Shulan's feet, while the spreading green vines neutralized the toxins from the scales.

Ou Rushuang heard the crisp sound of star bells in his ears, the sound of butterflies that ordinary people could not hear, but at this moment he shocked most of the Azure Blood Golden Butterflies.

With a wave of his hand, the golden spirit of the characters vanished into the wind, gathering the flying scales and dust into the swirling wind.

The sword energy of the two sages of military strategy arrived in front of Ou Rushuang without any hindrance, instantly breaking through his protective aura, sending Ou Rushuang flying and crashing into several walls, raising a cloud of dust.

For every move Ou Rushuang made, several Saints would also make a move. Even with the power of the Earth's core, he was powerless to fight back. And there was also the Healer Saint Jiang Shulan, whose abilities were the natural counter to his.

Jiang Shulan glanced at Ou Rushuang, who was swaying as she stood up from the ruins, shook her head and sighed, then hurried down with Wei Xizhen.

Ou Rushuang coughed up blood, and dust covered him, making the once aloof and sage of the farming family look disheveled.

"Who exactly orchestrated this scheme?" Ou Rushuang asked fiercely. "And how did you know it was me?!"

After saying that, he suddenly looked up at the man standing on the roof drinking, who hadn't made a move earlier: "Zou Qian? Is that you or Yin Ziwu?!"

Sitting on the hibiscus wood tray, Yin Ziwu chuckled and said, "Dean Ou, how can you not trust someone as trustworthy as me?"

He took the money to do the job, but he didn't say a single word he shouldn't have.

"That's you, Zou Qian!" Ou Rushuang once again activated her protective aura, staring intently at Zou Qian, her eyes burning with fury.

Zou Qian scratched his neck, looked at Ou Rushuang and sighed, "Dean Ou, if you had nothing better to do, why did you put the golden butterfly inside this kid?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kuang Chu beckoned and swung his sword at Zhang Xiangyun, who was lying on the ground.

The moment the sword energy pierced through Zhang Xiangyun's chest, it was blocked by the Azure Blood Golden Butterfly that burst forth from his body, preventing a fatal blow.

Zhang Xiangyun was also jolted awake by the clash of the two forces, coughing up blood and slowly opening his eyes.

Zhang Xiangyun's eyes reflected the dark, heavy clouds and the sky full of golden butterflies. The familiar scene of the wooden house, the flickering firelight, and the people standing on the roof—each one of them made his heart tremble.

After seeing the faces of these people clearly, Zhang Xiangyun was shocked and terrified, thinking that he would rather be dead.

He was already critically injured and on the verge of death; he could barely get up. He could only turn his eyes to look at Ou Rushuang on the other side, and said in a trembling voice, "Ou..."

Ou Rushuang looked at him indifferently. As she did so, a golden butterfly with a deep blue color landed on Zhang Xiangyun's forehead. The excruciating pain caused Zhang Xiangyun to scream wildly, his face contorted in agony, and he died in extreme agony.

Enraged, Ou Rushuang wouldn't give Zhang Xiangyun a chance to say another word.
