"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Snow Qincheng exclaimed in surprise. Such a great opportunity was right in front of Aotian, yet he refused it. Was his head stuck in the door?
However, Aotian did not think so. The title of Core Student was definitely a hot potato for him.
Once he became a Core Student, it would surely cause a stir throughout the city. With his Innate Fourth Layer cultivation, if he were to take on the position of Core Student, there would undoubtedly be many criticisms against him, and he might even face hostility from all the other students.
Think about it; who becomes a Core Student without going through countless hardships and challenges? If he were to become a Core Student just by submitting a letter, it would certainly provoke dissatisfaction among other Core Students, and many Inner Academy Students would challenge him, hoping to take his position.
If that happened, his comfortable life would be completely ruined.
Perhaps he could report to the Grand Elder; he might have some measures to prevent other students from bothering him. But that would only further incite dissatisfaction among the academy's students, and those with narrow minds might even harbor resentment against him. Most importantly, Aotian did not like relying on others.
Therefore, Aotian decided that no matter what, he could not sit in that Core Student position; at most, he would settle for being an Inner Academy Student for now. Once his strength was sufficient, he could compete for the Core Student position later without rushing.
After sharing his thoughts with Snow Qincheng, she pondered for a moment and then remarked:
"That's right; it's not wise for you to take that position just yet. Remember, when opportunities fall from the sky, if they are too big, they might crush you..."
Aotian had a dark expression on his face; what kind of metaphor was that...
But he had to admit that Snow Qincheng's words made a lot of sense.
"Hehe, in the wilderness, love is in the air..." Suddenly, a sinister voice echoed across the hill.
"Who?!"
Upon hearing the sudden voice, Aotian and Snow Qincheng sprang to their feet, their eyes scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
"No need to look around, I'm right in front of you!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a figure appeared like a ghost before Aotian and Snow Qincheng.
Aotian's gaze sharpened; the appearance of this figure was extremely eerie. He didn't even know how the person had appeared. If that figure had chosen to attack him directly just now...
Thinking of this, cold sweat began to bead on Aotian's forehead.
"Heh heh, Aotian, today you will pay for my subordinate's life!"
As soon as the words fell, a violent killing intent surged from the figure, shattering the conical hat that had covered its face.
The mysterious figure was a middle-aged man, around thirty or forty years old, with a sinister expression. The cold aura emanating from him felt somewhat familiar to Aotian; it was similar to the aura of Sword Mo You...
"You've come for revenge for Sword Mo You?!" Aotian asked in a deep voice.
"Kekeke, everyone who has been marked by the Yin Xuan Seal is a target for my Underworld Society!" the middle-aged man replied with a sinister laugh.
Aotian's heart trembled slightly upon hearing the man's words.
In recent days, Aotian had been continuously using the Heaven Devouring Seal to absorb the Yin Xuan Seal, achieving remarkable results. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could completely erase the Yin Xuan Seal planted by Sword Mo You. However, he never expected that the existence behind Sword Mo You would find him so quickly based on the Yin Xuan Seal.
That so-called "Underworld Society" must be the mysterious organization that trained Sword Mo You.
"You are from the Underworld Society?!" At that moment, Snow Qincheng suddenly spoke up. When she mentioned "Underworld Society," her tone was laced with intense coldness.
"Kekeke, I assume this is the renowned 'Ice Snow Sword Immortal' Snow Qincheng from Xuantian Academy?" The middle-aged man looked at Snow Qincheng, his eyes revealing a strong killing intent.
"I’m asking you a question! Are you a member of the Underworld Society?!" Snow Qincheng coldly shouted.
Faced with Snow Qincheng's sudden hostility, the mysterious middle-aged man remained calm and said, "I am Dark Two, the Second Guardian of the Underworld Society!"
"Since you are from the Underworld Society, don't even think about leaving! Come back to Xuantian Academy with me to face judgment!" Snow Qincheng's right hand had already gripped the hilt of her Crystal Sword. It seemed as if she had an irreconcilable feud with Dark Two.
"Kekeke, it seems that your students from Xuantian Academy have quite a strong opinion about us Underworld Society members..." Dark Two chuckled ominously.
"You Underworld Society are a disgrace to Xuantian Academy. One day, our academy will completely eradicate you!" Snow Qincheng shouted angrily.
Aotian watched in confusion from the side.
Wasn't Dark Two here for revenge against him? Why was he now clashing with Snow Qincheng? Usually as calm as water, Snow Qincheng was losing her composure upon seeing Dark Two. She even claimed that the Underworld Society was a disgrace to Xuantian Academy. What kind of relationship existed between them?
At this moment, Aotian was filled with questions.
Dark Two did not pay attention to Snow Qincheng but instead spoke to Aotian: "Kid, this originally had nothing to do with you, but since you killed my subordinate, I can't let you go today just because you joined Xuantian Academy!"
"Aotian, this guy is from the Underworld Society, which is the greatest enemy of Xuantian Academy. As students of Xuantian Academy, it is our duty to eliminate members of the Underworld Society. We absolutely cannot let him escape today!" Snow Qincheng said seriously to Aotian.
Aotian nodded in understanding. Immediately, he moved swiftly to cut off Dark Two's escape route.
Although feeling somewhat awkward about this sudden obligation, Aotian could not deny the fact that he had killed Sword Mo You and offended the Underworld Society. Dark Two was clearly here to kill him, which is why Aotian agreed to help Snow Qincheng fulfill this so-called duty.
"Kid, the strength of my Underworld Society is not something you can measure. If you join me in killing Snow Qincheng and come back to the Underworld Society to plead for mercy, perhaps our leader will show leniency and spare your life," Dark Two said to Aotian calmly.
Upon hearing Dark Two's words, Aotian felt a mix of amusement and disbelief. If he truly teamed up with Dark Two to kill Snow Qincheng, he would indeed be a fool.
Although Aotian did not have a clear understanding of the Underworld Society, at this moment, he felt it was not the time to ask too many questions. Therefore, he planned to capture this guy first and later extract information about the Underworld Society from either him or Snow Qincheng.
With this thought in mind, an overwhelming aura surged from Aotian's body, firmly locking onto Dark Two's spirit and leaving him with no escape.
Snow Qincheng exerted force with her arm, and instantly, the Crystal Sword was drawn. A bone-chilling coldness erupted from the sword and spread towards Dark Two.
Dark Two's eyes flickered with a cold light as he murmured, "Since you two are so ungrateful, then go straight to hell!"
As he spoke, a sinister and chilling aura suddenly erupted from Dark Two's body, enveloping the entire hill. It clashed head-on with Aotian's imposing presence and Snow Qincheng's icy aura...
