In addition to this girl's extraordinary cultivation and her style of doing things, she really is capable of destroying a sect. However, Tianmen Mountain is not a small force, and it was probably easily destroyed because those old guys with some strength were killed at Longtou Mountain.

"Because Tianmen Mountain was destroyed by me. Ye Chengchen told Feng Luo about the divine artifact before he died, hoping that Feng Luo would save her. However, she miscalculated."

“Feng Luo is a suspicious person by nature, and he will definitely try to find out the truth. Obviously, he has now confirmed that there is a divine artifact in the Star Academy, and I'm afraid he will not let it go.”

Yu Bugui's lips curled up. Although she had already expected it, she was still somewhat surprised by how casually she spoke, as if crushing an ant was as easy as she had imagined.

Shen Qingqiu almost dropped the tea in his hand, staring at Ji Jiuying in disbelief. This girl was terrifying; the mysterious Floating Life Mirror actually belonged to her.

Could it be that the Vermilion Bird, the divine beast that appeared in Cangyue Kingdom not long ago, was also hers?

Shen Qingqiu shook his head. Everyone said that the one who contracted the divine beast Vermilion Bird was that elusive national advisor. This matter must not be unfounded. After all, this girl already has a dragon. If she gets another divine beast, she will surely be deified.

"How did Tianmen Mountain find out about this?"

Shen Qingqiu then thought of another matter. He had been in the Star Academy for over a hundred years and had no idea that there were divine artifacts in the forbidden area. How did Tianmen Mountain, which was far away, know about it?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqiu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Since it's a divine artifact, how could it be so easy to obtain?"

Yu Bugui spoke softly, his eyes revealing emotions that others could not understand.

Hearing this, Shen Qingqiu felt it made sense, but she feared that things wouldn't be peaceful at Star Academy from now on...

"Old Shen, news of the divine artifact will likely spread throughout the Cangming Continent soon. For the safety of the students, let's close the academy for a while. You can make the arrangements."

Just as Shen Qingqiu was about to leave, the old man spoke again.

"There is one more thing. According to the regulations, you are now eligible to apply for graduation. Of course, you can also stay in the academy if you wish, as a student or as a guest elder."

Ji Jiuying thought for a moment. Since Qingling and the others were still at the academy, she would become a guest elder.

"Then I'll choose the guest elder."

"Old Shen, do as the girl says."

Shen Qingqiu nodded and then got up to leave.

After Shen Qingqiu left, Yu Bugui spoke softly, "Disciple, it seems the matter of the divine artifact can no longer be kept a secret."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying's expression flickered slightly. She looked up at Old Man Yu, whose face showed helplessness and hesitation.

"Old Yu, you might as well speak your mind."

"Girl, although divine artifacts are not easily obtained, there are ways to get them. However... once a divine artifact leaves its seal, it means the demon inside will appear."

Ji Jiuying frowned slightly. The appearance of demons would definitely plunge the world into chaos, but why was this old man speaking so evasively today? "Is there any way to resolve this?"

Yu Bugui remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Girl, do you still remember when Qingling turned into a demon at Dragon Head Mountain?"

Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly. At that time, she had already entered the body of the World-Destroying Demon Wolf. Later, Yingyue told him about it.

The old man bringing this up now, could it be...?

"If one day she becomes completely corrupted by demonic possession... she will surely unleash the demons beneath her, my disciple..."

"Old man Yu, do you want to kill Qingling?"

Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold, and she gripped the teacup tightly in her hand.

This is also her fault. If she hadn't been in such a hurry to give her the Ancient Demon Harp... would she have avoided becoming a demon?

The lives of everyone in the world and her...

Old Man Yu choked for a moment. At first, he did want to kill her, but he knew how important she was to his disciple, so he couldn't bring himself to do it several times. Then he remembered the divine beast Vermilion Bird that had appeared in Cangyue. In order to test her, he spared no effort to find the Sacred Heart Stone. Sure enough, he guessed right.

"At first, I did think about it, but I knew that if I killed her, my disciple, you would hate me for the rest of your life."

What made you change your mind?

Ji Jiuying asked indifferently. She had a feeling that she had been tricked by Old Man Yu, but there was not a trace of malice in his eyes. If she could help him, she would naturally be happy to do so.

Although she wasn't some benevolent saint, and the lives of everyone in the world were none of her concern, there were many people here she cared about, and she didn't want her friends to be in endless danger.

Yu Bugui met Ji Jiuying's clear eyes and said calmly, "Girl, was that little child next to you just now the divine beast Vermilion Bird?"

Ji Jiuying looked up at Yu Bugui, whose eyes were filled with certainty.

This made her think back to when he suddenly gave her the Sacred Heart Stone; he must have been certain at that moment that the divine beast Vermilion Bird was on her.

Ji Jiuying did not answer his question, but instead asked him, "Master, are you from the Tianyu Continent?"

"yes."

Yu Bugui was surprised. Hadn't that man told her?

"So you guessed that Suzaku was in my hands, which is why you didn't kill Qingling?"

“Yes, my good disciple, I have been guarding this place for over seven hundred years. This divine formation has trapped the demons, but it has also trapped me…” Yu Bugui sighed softly, his face full of vicissitudes, his usual stubbornness gone.

"As long as it doesn't endanger Xiaohuang'er's life, I can help you."

"It won't endanger her life, but..."

"Just what?"

"It will restrict her freedom."

"What do you mean?" Ji Jiuying frowned slightly.

"As long as the Vermilion Bird's true form stays in the forbidden area for three months, I will have a way to strengthen the seal."

Ji Jiuying fell silent. Three months? Even if she agreed, Xiao Huang'er wouldn't. Besides, she didn't understand the situation in the forbidden area and was really worried about leaving Xiao Huang'er there. Moreover... regarding the divine beast, she didn't trust anyone except Gong Mingyue.

Seeing her silence, Yu Bugui knew she was in a difficult position and sighed inwardly.

"I'm sorry, please allow me to consider this matter."

She couldn't do it; she couldn't let Xiao Huang'er take such a risk.

The news of Ji Jiuying becoming a guest elder of the academy spread quickly, and no one dared to object, after all, her strength was undeniable.

Back in the courtyard, Ji Jiuying pushed open the door, and a suction force pulled her up, landing her in a familiar embrace. Ji Jiuying did not struggle, but closed her eyes and leaned against his chest.

Gong Mingyue gently stroked her hair, "Jiu'er, is something on your mind?"

"Ah Yue, don't talk, I'm so tired."

Ji Jiuying said wearily, "I fought for three days and three nights in the Monster Forest, and then rushed back to the academy without stopping. I used my remaining energy to fight against the elder of the Feng family. After advancing to the Spirit Venerable level, the energy in my body has been in constant turmoil. All I want to do now is sleep. Even if the sky falls, I still want to sleep."
