The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 273: Chapter 270: Dragon Tiger University, A Cultivation Sect?

Liu Sisi and Li Fengxia were taken away by the Demon Hunting Bureau.

The incident caused a considerable commotion within the university.

It even split the student body into two factions.

One faction of students believed that the two of them were ruthless and vicious for killing their own roommate and deserved severe punishment.

But another faction of students believed that the victim, Liu Shuqin, came from the Old District.

Can students from the Old District even be considered people?

They’re nothing more than abandoned refugees.

If they’re killed, they’re killed. What rights could they possibly have to speak of?

Students from the two factions engaged in heated debates.

However, the conflict was limited to debates. No one took any drastic action over it.

So much had happened in the last few days.

First, Guo Hao and Wu Jie were among the five people taken away by the Town Martial Department.

Then, Li Fengxia and Liu Sisi were taken away by the Demon Hunting Bureau.

It seemed as if everything was targeted at the local students.

On the other hand, the students from the Old District were being treated with exceptional friendliness.

This filled the once proud and arrogant local students with an inexplicable sense of panic and crisis.

...

”Sis, I’m coming down now!”

It was the weekend, and Tang Qinru had called early in the morning.

Today was the day she would take Lin Yi to Dragon Tiger Mountain to pay respects to the Elder Celestial Master.

”Don’t rush. I’m right outside your dorm. You’ll see me as soon as you come downstairs!” Tang Qinru said over the phone.

”Okay, I’m already dressed!”

Lin Yi quickly finished his sentence and hung up.

Just as he was about to leave, Wei Nan and Wei Shang, who were sitting on the sofa, glanced back at him.

”Take your time, don’t be in such a hurry. If you’re not coming back tonight, give us a call!”

Wei Nan called out.

”Yeah, I know. I’m taking Xiaoqi with me, so you don’t need to feed it for me!” After putting on his shoes, Lin Yi walked towards the door.

After opening the door, Lin Yi left the dorm room.

”Old Wei, what’s the story with this Elder Celestial Master? Is he a big shot?”

Seeing that Lin Yi had left the dorm, Wei Nan couldn’t help but ask.

Wei Shang shot him a glance. ”Drop the question mark. He’s the Elder Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain. His realm is unfathomable. Even Elder He of the Town Martial Department has to show him the utmost respect. You can figure out the rest yourself!”

”So, does that make him the most powerful person in the New District?” Wei Nan was immediately intrigued.

If Lin Yi could really become the Elder Celestial Master’s disciple, wouldn’t that mean he could do whatever he wants in the New District from now on?

But Wei Shang shook his head. ”No one dares claim to be the most powerful, aside from the Martial God.”

”Actually, in the New District, there are many reclusive Ancient Martial Families!”

”They all have their own legacies and their own ways of life. They rarely wish to get too involved with the secular world and prefer a reclusive life!”

Wei Nan scratched his head. ”Reclusive? Wouldn’t that be incredibly boring? Not having contact with the outside world, not even having any friends, just staying in the deep mountains and old forests all day?”

Wei Shang shot him a harsh glare. ”Who told you being reclusive means you have to stay in the deep mountains and old forests?”

”And who told you they don’t have contact with the outside world or have any friends?”

”Let me put it this way for you. So-called ’reclusion’ just means not revealing their identity as ancient martial artists!”

”Their daily lives and routines are no different from us ordinary people!”

”It’s even possible that your neighbor, a classmate you’ve known for years, or even a future colleague could be a descendant of a reclusive Ancient Martial Family. They just don’t say anything, so you’d never know!”

”That’s what being ’reclusive’ means. It doesn’t mean you have to go run off and live in the deep mountains and old forests!”

After Wei Shang finished his explanation,

a glint flashed in Wei Nan’s eyes. ”Hey! You know, going by that logic, I had a neighbor once who might really have been the descendant of an Ancient Martial Family!”

”Every day before dawn, she’d go out to exercise and wouldn’t come back until after seven!”

”She’d carry two big bags of groceries every day, and she’d fly up the stairs, WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH, all the way to the sixth floor. And the crucial part is, she’s already in her sixties!”

”And then there’s the building in front of my old place in the Old District. There was someone who practiced the Lion’s Roar Skill, three times a day—morning, noon, and night. Her husband and kids suffered terribly... Do you think these people could be descendants of ancient martial artists hiding in the secular world?”

Wei Shang rolled his eyes and said, ”Now you’re just being ridiculous. By your logic, everyone would be a descendant of an ancient martial artist. Forget it, I can’t be bothered to waste my breath on you. It’s like playing a lute to a cow!”

Wei Nan: ”...”

After Lin Yi met up with Tang Qinru,

the two of them got in the car and drove straight off campus.

Along the way, Tang Qinru kept reminding him of some things to keep in mind.

”The Elder Celestial Master is a rather traditional and rigid person. You must remain polite at all times!”

”Your apprenticeship this time was arranged mainly by my grandfather. You should understand his intentions!”

”Why?”

Lin Yi said, a little puzzled.

Tang Qinru glanced back at him and said with a light chuckle, ”To find you a master, which is to say, to find you a backer!”

”The New District isn’t like the Old District. Only those with a master, a background, and a family name will be respected!”

”You’ve only just arrived in the New District, and you haven’t yet shed the identity of the Martial Arts Examination Champion Scholar from the Old District!”

”So what if you were the top scholar of the entire district? The local students will still discriminate against you!”

Lin Yi laughed. ”So what if they discriminate? If worse comes to worst, I’ll just kill them.”

Hearing this, Tang Qinru’s brow furrowed slightly.

”Your killing intent is too strong right now. No wonder Grandpa wants you to become the Elder Celestial Master’s disciple. When you go to the mountain, it will be good for you to cultivate your heart, to eliminate your bloodlust. It will be beneficial for your future growth!”
