Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 682: Chapter 631: No Definition for Good and Evil

”Do you dare to come with me?” Evil Qiqi, hovering in the air, challenged Tu Xiao’an.

Tu Xiao’an gave a noncommittal smile. ’Right now, there’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do.’

”Then I’ll see you at the Ancient Academy.” Evil Qiqi gave Tu Xiao’an a meaningful look, then turned and flew away, her clothes fluttering as she moved with a weightless Body Technique.

”Master, would you like me to go with you?” Luo Zijie asked.

Tu Xiao’an shook his head. ”No need. You’d better think about how you’re going to explain this to your family.”

”If it were any other Snake Species, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you, but not this Dragon Snake,” Tu Xiao’an added.

Luo Zijie lowered his head, not daring to object.

At that moment, Tu Xiao’an turned to the Dragon Snake and placed his hand on its Dragon Horn. His bewitching eyes narrowed as he unleashed his Consciousness Power to subdue it.

The Dragon Snake had already accepted its fate and offered no resistance from its soul.

”DING... Congratulations, Host, for subduing one Level 29 fortune-blessed Dragon Snake. Reward: one Low rank Divine Beast Bloodline.”

’Huh, I can’t believe the system is giving me a reward for subduing a mere Rank Two Snake Spirit.’ Tu Xiao’an hadn’t expected that at all.

’Well, it’s a pleasant surprise.’

”You all rest here. Don’t take a single step outside this plaza.”

Tu Xiao’an glanced at the assembled Demons one last time, then shot off from where he stood, vanishing without a trace.

In just a few breaths, Tu Xiao’an appeared in the sky above Wencheng University. The campus had become a disaster zone, the school itself was now a ruin, and students were long gone.

Normal classes were out of the question.

He glanced down, bypassed the ruined university, and soon landed in front of an ancient gate.

Behind Wencheng University was the mysterious Ancient Academy.

Although the university was wrecked, the Ancient Academy behind it hadn’t suffered the slightest damage. Given the Ancient Academy’s power, even if the Fierce Beasts had discovered this place back then, they probably couldn’t have destroyed it.

Tu Xiao’an now noticed a powerful Energy from an Array fluctuating around the Ancient Academy, and it all started to make sense.

When he’d visited the Ancient Academy before, he had only felt that it was a uniquely blessed place where the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth converged. Now, it was clear this was due to the protective Array.

”You sure took your time. My grandfather has been waiting inside for you,”

Evil Qiqi called out in annoyance, perched on the courtyard wall.

”Then please lead the way, Senior...” Tu Xiao’an had barely finished speaking when his expression froze.

After leaving that one sentence, Evil Qiqi vanished again. She truly came and went like a ghost.

’The Ancient Academy is huge. How am I supposed to find anyone if she won’t even show me the way?’

Tu Xiao’an was incredibly frustrated. ’I’ve got a ”go fuck yourself” on the tip of my tongue right now.’

’Whatever. I’m sure that mysterious dean will show himself once I’m inside.’

Afterward, Tu Xiao’an entered the Ancient Academy once more. ’The name ”Ancient Academy” really fits,’ he thought. ’Everything about this place has a quaint, antique feel.’

Come to think of it, he was a student here too. While he wasn’t particularly familiar with the Ancient Academy, he at least knew the basic layout.

”Dean, show yourself! The Snake King is here.”

Since Evil Qiqi knew his identity, it was impossible for the mysterious dean not to. So Tu Xiao’an decided to be direct.

However... the surroundings were deathly quiet. Not a soul was in sight.

Tu Xiao’an couldn’t see any of the Ancient Academy’s students either.

’Am I in the wrong place?’

He ventured deeper until he reached a massive training ground. He leaped onto it, making himself visible from all directions.

”Dean, since you asked to see me, show yourself!”

”...”

The area remained quiet, with only the faint whisper of the wind.

’Can that girl do anything right? Making me come here and play hide-and-seek...’

Tu Xiao’an was thoroughly exasperated. If he weren’t so curious about the mysterious dean, he would’ve just left.

’Wouldn’t it be better to just go home, take a shower, and go to sleep?’

But since he was already here, he couldn’t just leave. And so, Tu Xiao’an wandered around the Ancient Academy like a Midnight Ghost. To put it nicely, he was revisiting an old haunt.

To put it bluntly, he was getting annoyed.

’Is the dean trying to put me in my place?’

Suddenly, a lingering flute melody drifted out from an unknown source, carrying with it a faint, hidden sorrow.

Tu Xiao’an froze, his gaze snapping in a specific direction. The image of a pink skeleton surfaced in his mind.

Back then, he had been too weak and had been frightened by the Skeleton Monster hidden at the bottom of the lake.

Now, he was just one step away from becoming a Deep Mountain Demon King, and his actual combat strength was even greater. ’Maybe I should go pay another visit to that evil creature suppressed at the bottom of the lake.’

’Besides,’ he thought, ’I have my unbeatable subduing Skill now. If that pink skeleton really is an Ancient Demon from Ancient Times, just as Luo Ziyun guessed, I’ll just subdue it.’

’Then I could use it to deal with the Ancient Taotie. Wouldn’t that be perfect?’

Having made up his mind, Tu Xiao’an headed toward the lake. The flute music from the lake’s depths was indeed incessant.

’Don’t they get tired?’

Besides, Tu Xiao’an had been down there before. The place where it was suppressed was actually a vast distance from the Ancient Academy.

When Tu Xiao’an reached the lake, he froze for a moment. He saw a young man sitting by the shore, fishing.

That’s right, he was fishing.

’Fishing in this bizarre place in the dead of night? Is this guy crazy?’

’No, that’s not it.’ Tu Xiao’an suddenly smiled. He strolled over leisurely and plopped down beside the man. ”You have some refined hobbies, Dean,” he said with a laugh. ”Fishing out here in the middle of the night... you really made me search high and low. But I have to admit, this isn’t a bad spot for it.”
