Chapter 803: I Came for the Benefits

Yan Yuezhi felt so irritated and angry that she had the urge to end these people.

She was getting angrier by the second.

When she heard the woman speak, she almost lashed out.

She was almost about to use her ultimate move to exterminate them.

At the peak of her fury, she restrained herself.

She didn’t feel any better as she looked at the people gathered there.

Instead, she felt even worse.

She glanced at the heavily wounded Dole and the astonished crowd behind him.

She looked furious. Anyone could push her off the edge with a simple word.

It was quite unusual.

After a while, she sensed something as if witnessing a transformation from the depths of her soul.

She saw a scene of bloodshed.

It was the arrogance of youth and a question posed to the heavens.

The book in her hand began to emit a faint light. The contents flashed through her mind like a whispered song.

It was as though the words were paving her path toward her cultivation.

Yan Yuezhi felt surprised and sighed a little.

The opportunity she had sought for a long time had been impossible to find. Yet, in the midst of her fury, she saw it.

It was a revelation that set her on her path.

What she thought she needed from the Ancient And Modern Book was no longer necessary.

She sighed heavily under the questioning gaze of the crowd, but she didn’t speak.

At that moment, several powerful auras surged from the side.

They were grandmasters. They were stronger than her.

“We need an answer from you, Immortal! We know the Astronomical Academy is extraordinary, but we are also not to be trifled with,” said the middle-aged man.

His imposing aura spread wide.

The tremendous pressure shook Yan Yuezhi’s mind.

For a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator, they had ama.s.sed such powers.

What kind of hostility required such drastic actions?

However, it did nothing for how angry she felt. Her rage was like a deluge that had burst the dam in her heart.

Her aura soared, and an immortal intent was revealed deep within her. However, with that intent, her anger surged. It was like a roaring fire.

“Inner demons,” Yan Yuezhi murmured softly.

There wasn’t much resistance to her power. After all, whatever she did came from her heart. Her inner and outer demons were the same.

“Do you really want an answer? Fine! Tell me what explanation you want to hear. Do you want me to explain why I killed someone just now, or are you looking for something else?” she asked softly.

Her aura changed again. It transformed from white to black.

Everything merged into one. Dark and light. Saving someone or killing them. Her demons merged. There was no good or evil.

“Dole killed disciples of our sect. We want to question him in peace. Why did you stop us for no reason?”

“Why did you attack our people?”

“Does the Astronomical Academy want to be enemies with all our sects?”

“Did you really think we wouldn’t dare to lay hands on you to defend ourselves?”

Many voiced out their questions in contempt.

These words rang in Yan Yuezhi’s mind and ignited her fury further.

The inner demon began to spread around her as if it wanted to drag her into itself.

Her fury led to evil thoughts in her mind. She wanted to annihilate everything.

Yan Yuezhi didn’t act. She looked at the people in front of her.

After a while, she took out an ancient scroll. There were two words on it:

“Astronomical Scroll.’

“Please give us a straightforward response,” an elder asked.

“Okay.” Yan Yuezhi nodded and looked at the puzzled elder. “The Astronomical Academy agrees to be an enemy with your sects. We will annihilate you. So, please inform your respective sects about this. In a month, the Astronomical Academy will come for you and destroy you.”

At that moment, Yan Yuezhi threw the scroll into the air, and an ancient aura swept through the surroundings.

Yan Yuezhi, who was already enveloped by her inner demon, looked at everyone around her and declared, “Dole is under the protection of the Astronomical Academy. If you touch him, the Astronomical Academy will be your enemy. Now, state your names and your sects. The Astronomical Academy gives you a month’s time to prepare for the inevitable.” The elder who spoke earlier was incredulous. He looked fearful.

The Astronomical Scroll…

Everyone knew what it was.

It represented the entire Astronomical Academy.

How was it possible that such a powerful sect was taking action to protect someone like Dole at all costs?

Who actually was Dole?

Guan Zhongfei looked from afar. His heart raced.

He had no idea what was happening.

Someone from the Astronomical Academy not only had appeared out of thin air, but she also had brought along the one thing that represented her entire sect.

She had asked for everyone’s names and sects while threatening to annihilate them all.

It felt surreal.

Dole looked at the people before him in astonishment.

He didn’t understand what was happening.

“Senior, we were just pa.s.sing by and gathered here when we saw a crowd. We were here by mistake. Please forgive us. We’ll step back,” said someone.

Some of the people from the crown retreated.

They didn’t dare to say anything further.

The Astronomical Scroll had appeared. Even if their sect’s disciples had died in the Corpse Realm, a war with one of the major sects was dangerous.

Who would dare to fight a major sect just for the sake of a few disciples?

The elder also smiled weakly and admitted that it had been a mistake, and that they had got the wrong person. He apologized profusely.

Yan Yuezhi didn’t pay attention to these people.

She knew their current retreat was only temporary.

But as long as she held her ground, many would retreat.

Nearly overwhelmed by evil thoughts, she composed herself and sensed that there was an old woman who absolutely wanted to kill Dole.

If given a chance, she would act.

She would have acted already if the situation allowed it.

Time was running out.

Yan Yuezhi looked at Dole. “I’ll give you two choices.”

“Please go on, senior,” Dole said.

Yan Yuezhi looked at Dole calmly, but her eyes were blood-red.

“After I give in to my enlightenment, my inner demon will be unleashed. Once that happens, I won’t be able to spare you. The first choice is to immerse you within my inner demon. If I succeed in overcoming the demon, you’ll gain immense benefits. You’ll share my success in the cultivation path. However, if I fail, I’ll perish, and so will you. The second choice is that I can exclude you from this and leave you be. However, there are so many people here who will risk offending the Astronomical Academy just to kill you. I will seek help from the academy and provide you with a treasure for protection. But that’ll be uncertain. The academy might not arrive in time to help you. Both these choices have their own gains and losses. It’s up to you. Will you choose to face life and death with me, or will you choose to face it alone?”

“If I choose to face it alone, will they refrain from attacking you, Senior?” Dole asked.

Yan Yuezhi was stunned. Her rage seemed to dissipate a bit.

She looked wise and ancient.

She shook her head. “Don’t worry about me. I came here for the benefits anyway..”
