TFHS: Chapter 179

So far in the league, this was the first time that cheating had been discovered. The cheater was a student of the Imperial Academy, so this caused quite a stir inside and outside the stadium.

Many forces sent representatives to visit and comfort Bai Qiaomo, fearing that he would be poisoned.

The shadowless glass snake was actually quite notorious, but it was difficult to obtain it. This snake could become invisible and it was difficult for cultivators to find their traces after they hid.

Therefore, it wasn’t easy for ordinary cultivators to raise a shadowless glass snake.

They needed to be fed with poison. If ordinary cultivators wanted to raise them, they couldn’t provide the poison for feeding in the later stages.

It was because the level of poison required by this snake would get higher and higher, or it would be difficult to promote the cultivation level of the shadowless glass snake.

Someone went to the stage to check and found that it was electrocuted to charred ash. They could barely recognize that it was a desolate beast that had been cultivated to the third-grade.

The third-grade shadowless glass snake could poison fourth-grade desolate beasts. Essence liquid realm cultivators would suffer great damage if bitten.

Many people were angry. Lu Yanfeng was planning to destroy Bai Qiaomo.

Bai Qiaomo was unlucky. He ran into people like Wu Yingyan and Lu Yanfeng. They all looked down on the genius who came from the middle and bottom levels. If they didn’t like him, they would destroy him.

Bai Qiaomo sat in a formation to heal his wounds. Pei Yingmin and Jiang Qian were the ones who received the cultivators.

Yu Xiao also came forward. Bai Qiaomo had a great relationship with him and was the partner of his youngest disciple, so how could he not be angry? He had to support his youngest disciple.

It didn’t take long for news from Lu Yanfeng’s side to come out.

Compared to Bai Qiaomo who walked off the arena intact, Lu Yanfeng’s injury was very serious.

Bai Qiaomo’s two blows broke Lu Yanfeng’s bones and also damaged his internal organs. The blood he coughed up before was mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

Moreover, the thunder power cultivated by Bai Qiaomo also penetrated into his body through the whipping of the spear. It was a bit troublesome to completely extract it.

This meant that even if he wasn’t kicked out of the league, Lu Yanfeng wouldn’t be able to go onto the stage in the short term. He couldn’t even stand up intact. He could only lie down and heal.

As for whether it would affect his future practice and promotion, it depended on the subsequent healing.

The forces that had nothing to do with the power behind Lu Yanfeng were gloating over the result. He failed to poison the other person, but was almost beaten into a cripple. This was the consequence of wanting to abolish someone.

The same thing happened to Xiong Kui before, but Lu Yanfeng’s result was a bit worse.

At the same time, they had a deeper understanding of Bai Qiaomo’s strength. This wasn’t an ordinary late stage essence liquid realm cultivator.

It had to be known that Lu Yanfeng had the same level of strength and was an outstanding cultivator among the late stage essence liquid realm cultivators.

The body of such a cultivator couldn’t be compared with a gifted person like Xiong Kui, but it was still very strong. It wasn’t easy to beat him to the point of breaking bones and damaging internal organs.

Therefore, it could be seen that in the previous competition, Bai Qiaomo was really good at dealing with his opponents. These opponents who were swept off the stage by him weren’t injured much.

Chen Tianlang was one of the people who was furious. If it wasn’t for the news that Lu Yanfeng was seriously injured, he would’ve wanted to run over and beat that guy so hard that he couldn’t get up.

But such a result didn’t satisfy him. Lu Yanfeng might be seriously injured, but the punishment of the Imperial Academy was a bit perfunctory. Chen Tianlang was extremely annoyed and couldn’t just let it go.

This punishment wasn’t painful for those children of the rich and powerful. Once his injuries recovered, such a person could still walk around Imperial City in a powerful manner. None of the other rich and powerful children would learn from it.

Chen Tianlang walked back and forth several times. Finally, he made up his mind and said, “No, I have to go and find someone. I can’t let him get away with it like this.”

“Wait.” Feng Ming heard his Fifth Senior Brother’s words and hurriedly stopped him. “Fifth Senior Brother, do you want to go back to Uncle Chen?”

Chen Tianlang waved his hand. “It is none of your business, Junior Brother. Just go and take care of Junior Brother Bai.”

Feng Ming knew that his fifth senior brother hadn’t returned to General Chen’s mansion until now. General Chen’s mansion had sent people to visit Senior Brother Chen many times. Every time, they sent a lot of things. Even his junior brother benefited from it.

Feng Ming knew that his fifth senior brother was having a hard time getting over it, but he didn’t want his senior brother to bow to his father due to what happened between him and Bai Qiaomo. When to reconcile should be up to his senior brother.

“Fifth Senior Brother, listen to me first. Send someone to see if Zong Yupao has taken action. He is also a contestant and he disdains to play tricks. If someone plays tricks in the competition he is participating in, do you think he will be angry?”

Pei Yingmin understood as soon as he heard this. “I will send someone to check it out.”

This matter was easy to check. Pei Yingmin soon got the news that Zong Yupao was still in the stadium.

But after the Imperial Academy announced the punishment, Zong Yupao summoned a person, gave him instructions and the person disappeared from the stadium.

Feng Ming said to Chen Tianlang, “Fifth Senior Brother, you can see that Zong Yupao showed a reaction. Why don’t we wait and see if there are any follow-up results? What Zong Yupao needs is a fair and upright competition. He doesn’t want this league to be questioned.”

Chen Tianlang calmed down. “OKay, Junior Brother. I will wait a bit longer. Don’t worry about me so much. It isn’t entirely due to you and Junior Brother Bai.”

“I know.” Feng Ming smiled. “No matter what decision you make, I will support it.”

Chen Tianlang couldn’t help patting his junior brother on the head.

After this incident, the rest of the competition couldn’t proceed normally.

Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi sat together. Neither of them went to see Lu Yanfeng. They both sneered when they learned that he was seriously injured.

Ji Yuan said, “I have wanted to teach that guy a lesson for a long time. Bai Qiaomo did a good job this time. He did what I always wanted to do.”

This guy also looked down on Ji Yuan’s identity. Among the children of the rich and powerful who bullied Ji Yuan, there was Lu Yanfeng.

It wasn’t until Ji Yuan became a fourth-grade formation master that the guy restrained himself. After all, a fourth-grade formation master wasn’t easy to mess with.

Ji Yuan didn’t go to the fighting area, but Lu Yanfeng wouldn’t necessarily end up well if he really fought with a fourth-grade formation master.

Qiu Yi also had his own pride. It might be difficult for him to accept losing to Feng Ming for a while, but he didn’t have any hostility toward Feng Ming, nor was he willing to win by cheating.

Therefore, he was very disgusted with people like Lu Yanfeng. “Senior Brother Ji, do you think the palace will do something?”

Ji Yuan touched his chin. “It should be possible. After all, Zong Yupao is still very important in the heart of His Majesty. This time, Zong Yupao is really angry. If Lu Yanfeng wasn’t injured too badly, Zong Yupao would probably break his bones with his own hands.”

Qiu Yi thought about it. Senior Brother Ji’s words were really possible. If Brother Zong really got angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Senior Brother Ji,” Qiu Yi lowered his voice. “Who do you think will win between Senior Brother Zong and Bai Qiaomo?”

Ji Yuan almost laughed. He didn’t expect Qiu Yi, who was the most protective of Zong Yupao, would also doubt it.

“I don’t dare to say it. It depends on how much Bai Qiaomo has hidden. He might really know formations. You know, it is difficult to track the traces of the shadowless glass snake. Bai Qiaomo killed the snake with one shot. This shows that his soul power is very strong.”

The formation set by Bai Qiaomo wasn’t defensive against Feng Ming, so Feng Ming could easily enter it.

After he talked to his fifth senior brother, he went back to the formation to see Bai Qiaomo. Then he found that Bai Qiaomo had finished regulating his breathing and had opened his eyes.

Feng Ming hurriedly walked up to him. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Bai Qiaomo smiled and shook his head. Then he pulled Feng Ming to sit down beside him. “It’s fine. I realized something was wrong at the first moment and took the best-grade detoxification pill made by you. I just checked it carefully and there are no toxins left in my body.”

Feng Ming finally sighed with relief. “I was scared to death. If that guy bumps into me next time, I will poison him to death. Fortunately, you reacted quickly or else…”

Feng Ming’s concern warmed Bai Qiaomo’s heart. He stretched out his right hand and shook the bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet blinked twice to show its presence.

Bai Qiaomo said, “The little snake also discovered the venomous snake and wanted to attack it, but I controlled it. The shadowless glass snake seems to have no nemesis, but that is because it hasn’t encountered a being with a higher bloodline than it.”

Feng Ming felt more at ease now. He reached out, touched the bracelet and smiled. “Fortunately, the little snake followed you. I made a meritorious service at a critical moment. Once we go back, I will refine more furnaces of pills for you, the little snake and the little turtle.”

The bracelet blinked again to show his happiness. If he could remove the current state of the bracelet, he would definitely be so happy that he would shake his head and tail.

It was a pity that his unscrupulous master didn’t let him move at all.

A dignified flood dragon could only serve as a bracelet.

Then thinking about the encirclement and interception when his traces were discovered in the sea, the little snake still acquiesced to the current state. It was important to save his life and heal his injuries.

There was a formation to protect him, but Feng Ming didn’t dare say anything else about the little snake. He imagined in his mind how shocking the scene would be if the little snake really attacked at that time and the dragon appeared. Just thinking about it made him excited.

Forget it, it was better not to make such a sensation or he and Bai Qiaomo would never be able to leave Imperial City safely.

Just when the referee was about to announce the continuation of the competition, a line of palace guards arrived at the competition venue.

The moment they appeared, the noisy voices in the venue became much quieter. Some people became worried.

How could the people in Imperial City not know what the identities of these palace guards represented? These people came the moment Lu Yanfeng got into trouble.

Could it be that the emperor knew about this and wanted to punish Lu Yanfeng?

Immediately, the essence dan realm masters came to meet them, including the dean of the Imperial Academy.

The leader of the guards said, “His Majesty learned about what happened here and ordered me to come and announce the punishment for Lu Yanfeng. His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized the fairness and justice of the league. Someone openly violated it and must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others. His Majesty ordered that when Lu Yanfeng is able to move, he will be immediately expelled from Imperial City and won’t be allowed to enter without any merit.”
