The figure seemed to have been blasted away by a tremendous force, falling like a cannonball and crashing into the ground not far away, creating a large crater. The speed was so fast that no one could react in time.
"Chancellor!" Xie Daoyun hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran over. As a disciple of the academy, the Chancellor was a transcendent figure in her heart.
Zuan and the others hurriedly followed. They saw that the chief priest's clothes were stained with a large bloodstain, his hair was disheveled, his beard was also stained with blood, and his eyes were somewhat cloudy. At this moment, he looked more like an old man in his twilight years, and he no longer had the ethereal and otherworldly air he usually had.
"Chancellor, what's wrong?" Zu'an asked hurriedly.
The chief priest opened his eyes, saw them, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly, the emperor is coming."
Zu An's heart sank: "Did Zhao Hao injure you like this?"
Yan Xuehen had already released her fingers from his pulse and shook her head slightly at everyone.
At this moment, the chief priest's life force was completely cut off, and he was only hanging on by a thread.
Upon seeing this, Xie Daoyun was overcome with grief and couldn't help but sob, her shoulders hunched.
The chief priest comforted her, saying, "Little Dao Yun, there's no need to cry. Everyone must die eventually. My time is coming to an end, so there's nothing to be sad about."
Xie Daoyun didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she tried her best to hold back her tears, but they kept falling like pearls from a broken string.
The chief priest sighed and looked at Zu An: "Indeed, I thought I could perish together with Zhao Hao, but I didn't expect that his cultivation level has improved a lot. Alas, I have too many hobbies in my life, which has distracted me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this situation today. Now it seems that everything is predestined."
Everyone was shocked. Had Zhao Hao improved again?
How is that possible?
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Hao had been stuck at the Earth Immortal realm for many years, feeling lost about the future. But not long ago, he witnessed the intervention of Immortal Lord Baopu, which gave him a glimpse of the path ahead. For a cultivation genius like him, this was probably more useful than any elixir.
Furthermore, the origin of this world seems to be stronger than that of his own world, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is much more abundant. Zhao Hao might really have a chance to break through here.
Zu An was thinking about something else. He had visited the back mountain of the National Academy before, and found that the disciples of the Grand Master all had completely different research areas. They all admired the Grand Master very much, and the Grand Master's energy must have been focused on these areas.
The "Baopu Zhenjing" that I just obtained contains rites and music, divination and hexagrams, fasting and rituals, talismans, formations, alchemy, and weapon crafting. Each of them is profound and vast. If I spend too much energy on them, will I end up like the libationer?
The chief priest was already quite powerful, but he couldn't compete with someone like Zhao Hao who was focused on cultivation. If he had encountered a situation like today, it would have been too late to regret it.
Just then, a golden figure rapidly approached from afar: "Hahaha, High Priest, I must thank you for the stimulation of being such an evenly matched opponent. It was through this that I found the inspiration for a breakthrough. Once I have a day of enlightenment, I will probably be able to transcend tribulation and break through in this world."
That familiar aura was undoubtedly Zhao Hao.
At this moment, the chief priest's expression changed, and he quickly said to Zu'an, "There is something I would like to ask you."
"Please speak, Master!" Zu An said in a deep voice. Previously, rumors about him and Bi Linglong had spread, and it was only thanks to the Master's testimony that he was cleared of suspicion.
Later, when I visited the National College, he treated me well, so I naturally wanted to repay his kindness.
At this moment, Zhao Hao had already arrived in mid-air and saw Zu An and his group. He was first taken aback, then overjoyed: "Haha, it's like finding a needle in a haystack! Since you've all gathered together, I don't have to bother looking for you anymore."
Yan Xuehen said in a deep voice, "I'll buy you some time."
After saying that, he drew his Flying Snow Sword and went to meet Zhao Hao.
Just a few days ago, the chief priest saved her life, and now, watching him die, even though she cultivated the Supreme Being's Emotionlessness, her eyes were filled with rage.
"Yan Xuehen, are you really going to court death like this? You don't even care about Bai Yujing anymore?" Zhao Hao's face darkened. He had once admired this woman, and seeing her turn against him with swords now made him feel particularly bad.
Yan Xuehen said calmly, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the nonsense?"
Zhao Hao sneered: "Did you really think it was your skill that I showed mercy to women in the past?"
After saying that, he threw a punch right away.
Snowflakes swirled around Yan Xuehen, and he charged forward, enveloped in a storm of ice and snow.
Her actions now were not reckless, but rather based on the fact that seeing how badly the Chief Priest was injured, she knew that Zhao Hao must also be seriously injured. She was at her peak at the moment and might not be without the ability to put up a fight.
Sure enough, she was sent flying in one exchange, but she was reassured because although she was at a disadvantage, the gap between them was not so great that it was hopeless.
She formed a hand seal with one hand, unleashing a variety of spells and displaying exquisite swordsmanship, her entire body seemingly a white phantom.
"A mere trick!" Zhao Hao sneered and threw a punch at one of the shadows.
Yan Xuehen's body trembled, and she was sent flying again.
A ruthless glint flashed across Zhao Hao's face. If he couldn't have this woman himself, he wouldn't let anyone else have her either.
He had just fought a great battle with the chief priest. Although he had gained insights into a breakthrough, he was also seriously injured. These people could still pose a threat to him, so he decided to deal with the one with the highest cultivation level first, which would make it easier to defeat them one by one later.
Yan Xuehen was struck on the sword by his punch, and the immense force made it hard for her to catch her breath. She could only watch helplessly as his fist drew closer and closer.
