When Li Yun exuded his aura, a few people immediately noticed and rushed over. As they approached from a distance, they suddenly heard someone say, "There is Demon Emperor's Legacy on Ren Pingsheng," and they were all taken aback.
Who is Ren Pingsheng? They naturally had some impression of him, but it had always been rumored that he was dead. How could he have returned now with Demon Emperor's Legacy? However, these thoughts were secondary; their minds were focused on Demon Emperor's Legacy. One by one, they turned their gazes toward the distant figure of Ren Pingsheng.
"Where did this evil outsider come from, daring to commit crimes in Great Chu Academy?" They quickly surrounded Ren Pingsheng, shouting angrily.
"Evil outsider? How ridiculous. This disciple token belongs to you Great Chu Academy, I can't afford it," Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but laugh, then flicked his wrist and sent the identity token flying out.
"Hmph, even if you have a disciple token, daring to kill Lord Li of Great Chu Academy is still a dead end for you." After receiving the token, they said with vigilance without even looking at it.
"From now on, I have nothing to do with you Great Chu Academy. So don't test my patience. I'm just here to settle old scores and don't want to indiscriminately kill innocents. You'd better step aside!" He glanced at them and then turned to walk inside.
He had already learned about his second enemy, Chu Tian, who had now become a disciple of Heavenly Mansion. He certainly wouldn't forget how Chu Tian had plotted against him back in Demon Soul Valley. Since he was back, it was just right to understand this grudge so that he could focus on his cultivation without any distractions.
"You murderer, where do you think you're going? Stop right now!" An elder from Zongji Jing, watching Ren Pingsheng's back, couldn't help but make a move. He struck down with a palm aimed at his back.
Ren Pingsheng dodged swiftly and then vanished into heavy illusions as he stepped into the Inner Court, heading towards the location of Heavenly Mansion.
"Damn it, let's all attack together and capture him!" Three elders exchanged glances and seemed to come to a decision before directly pursuing him. Following behind were some disciples who had also heard Li Yun's shout. Unfortunately, they didn't know who Ren Pingsheng was and were merely following along to watch the excitement.
"Chu Tian, come out and die!" Ren Pingsheng moved quickly and reached the disciple area of Heavenly Mansion in just a few breaths, shouting loudly.
"Who is this person so arrogant? He actually wants to find Chu Tian, who is ranked fourth on the Golden List." A disciple from Heavenly Mansion looked at Ren Pingsheng with interest and began to whisper among themselves.
"Hmph, who dares to shout at me?" Chu Tian, who had been cultivating, suddenly heard someone provoke him. Unable to remain seated any longer, he stepped out of the palace where he was meditating, looking furious.
"An old friend has arrived; why not come meet him?"
"Ren Pingsheng, is that you?" Seeing the figure standing in the center of the square, he felt a jolt in his heart and immediately had an ominous premonition but still forced himself to say something calm.
"Ren Pingsheng? That name sounds familiar!" Some disciples from Heavenly Mansion still had some impression of Ren Pingsheng, especially those who were among the same batch of geniuses as him.
"So it's him; he didn't die and came back? This is going to be exciting." A disciple who remembered exclaimed in surprise. In their view, the return of the once-great genius Ren Pingsheng would definitely cause quite a stir. Especially on the Golden List, someone might be in trouble.
Unfortunately, while they guessed part of it correctly—that there would indeed be a commotion—it wouldn't be as they imagined.
"It’s me. I came today to settle our grievances. Do you have any last words?" Ren Pingsheng asked calmly.
"Last words? Ha... Ren Pingsheng, you really think highly of yourself. I was just about to see what kind of cultivation this once genius has now," he paused for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter. His aura grew stronger, and his eyes stared arrogantly at Ren Pingsheng.
"Since you have nothing to say, I'll send you on your way." He glanced at him lightly, and with a flick of his right hand, a Sword Qi flashed by. Many people felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could react, they heard Chu Tian let out a piercing scream.
"Ah... you..." Chu Tian covered his heart in fear, continuously retreating. Unfortunately, the blood there wouldn't stop flowing; his heart had already been pierced by the Sword Qi.
The other Heavenly Mansion disciples were also frightened and quickly retreated far away. They had initially planned to watch the show, but now that the spectacle had truly unfolded, they were left dumbfounded and horrified, speculating about what realm Ren Pingsheng had reached.
"You bold criminal, how dare you continue your rampage! Capture him!" Three elders finally rushed over from behind. Upon seeing the fallen Chu Tian, they acted without hesitation. Immediately, True Qi surged, Sword Qi crisscrossed, flames leaped, and raindrops fell like swords, directly enveloping Ren Pingsheng.
"Hmph, I won't stoop to your level. Do you three old fools really think I'm afraid of you?" Ren Pingsheng's sharp gaze fixed on the three attackers as he spoke coldly. The Windscar Sword flashed out of its sheath, filling the Void with an endless sharpness that made many feel a chill run down their spines.
This strike incorporated ninety percent of the Golden Realm's power; its sharpness was overwhelming and its coldness suffocating. In an instant, it shattered countless Sword Qis with a thunderous roar and powerful impact that sent the three elders flying. They were merely at the High-Level Sect Realm; how could they withstand Ren Pingsheng's sword? Before it even landed, blood was already splattering across the Void.
"This time I’ll spare you; there won’t be a next time." Ren Pingsheng merely glanced at them before sheathing the Windscar Sword and walking outward at a leisurely pace. Now that his grievances had been settled, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
"Cough cough... This criminal's strength is too formidable; we are no match for him. It seems we need to find some help," one elder said reluctantly.
"Let it go; this person is too strong for us to handle. We should just let him leave!"
"No way! He possesses the Demon Emperor's Legacy; how can we let him go?" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took out something and threw it into the air, engulfing the entire Great Chu Academy in flames.
Some Zongji Jing experts who were in seclusion within the Academy were instantly awakened and rushed out upon seeing this signal. This was a signal that indicated danger for the Great Chu Academy.
"What? The Demon Emperor's Legacy? Where is he? We must not let him escape!" Six Zongji Jing elders arrived and upon learning the situation, their eyes lit up with greed. The nine of them immediately chased after Ren Pingsheng in the direction he had fled.
"You criminal! Where do you think you're going? You killed someone in my Great Chu Academy; do you think you can leave unscathed? Do you think this place is just somewhere you can come and go as you please?" The nine cornered Ren Pingsheng in the Outer Court, glaring at him without any courtesy.
"Hmph, I advise you to obediently hand over the Demon Emperor's Legacy; if you do so, we might spare your life by only stripping away your cultivation."
"Heh heh, spare my life? I stayed here for two years before; I didn't want to add more bloodshed. But since you've repeatedly sought death, don't blame me." Ren Pingsheng said expressionlessly as he turned around to face the nine men, his heart already filled with killing intent.
"Want to kill us? You really overestimate yourself! We'll subdue you first!" The faces of the nine changed as they shouted angrily and then attacked in succession, preparing to take down Ren Pingsheng.
"You truly are overestimating yourselves!" he muttered softly to himself. With a single sword strike, Storm Rising erupted. Cloud Mist enveloped them as Wind Blades howled through the air. Not only did he block their attacks, but he also shrouded them within it.
"Ah... save me..." In the midst of the Cloud Mist, after a rumble, there were screams and cries for help. The piercing cries made some disciples in the distance shrink their heads, looking at Ren Pingsheng as if he were a Demon. Those powerful Zongji Jing experts, who seemed so high and mighty in their eyes, turned out to be so vulnerable.
Had this person really been a disciple of the Great Chu Academy? They wondered. Why did he possess such formidable strength now? Previously, they thought it was the Academy's merit, but now they realized that it was entirely different; ultimately, one's strength relied on oneself.
"Sigh..." Suddenly, a sigh echoed, and it seemed as if countless fallen leaves drifted down from the sky. They appeared light and airy, but as they fell, the enveloping Cloud Mist began to dissipate, and the Wind Blade gradually vanished. Among the nine elders inside, only four remained, all severely injured. The others had already become corpses.
"You've returned!" Appearing in mid-air was Chu Yanran, but when she looked at Ren Pingsheng, her expression was complex as she softly uttered a single sentence.
"Half-Step Monarch, not bad!" Ren Pingsheng looked at her and said with a light smile. There was no other emotion of hatred or resentment; perhaps he had long since come to terms with it over the years. After all, it was unclear who was right or wrong back then.
"Since you've made your move, I will spare these people their lives." He sheathed the Windscar Sword and glanced at the four severely injured individuals without making another move.
If it hadn't been for Chu Yanran's intervention just now, they would have already become corpses. At this moment, looking at Ren Pingsheng, they no longer had their previous arrogance; each one of them appeared timid and fearful.
"How have you been all these years?" She paused for a moment but couldn't help but ask.
"What is good? What is bad? Anyway, I'm still alive. My matters have come to an end. Perhaps we will meet again by chance in the future!" Ren Pingsheng smiled faintly and turned to step into the void.
"I'm sorry; I was wrong back then!" Watching Ren Pingsheng leave, she suddenly said.
"Heh heh, what does it matter if it's right or wrong? It's all in the past. People must grow and look forward," he paused for a moment before saying something that sounded like self-talk or consolation before disappearing into the air without leaving a trace.
