Chapter 423: Wu Li’s Inner Demon, Qian Ya’s Trouble
Facing Nalan Xingde’s words, Wu Li, who was lying in the pool, smiled and said.
“It’s fine if I can’t get through; having reached our level, isn’t it clear that we see d*ath?”
“Of course you can see through it, but can Xiancha see through it?”
“Or rather, would he want to see through it?”
Hearing these words, Wu Li fell silent.
“You are the astonishing Emperor Huangtian, and more importantly, Xiancha’s most outstanding disciple.”
“Too many people around Xiancha have died. If even you were gone, who else would be there for him?”
“Could you really bear to watch Xiancha live alone in this world?”
At these words, Wu Li pressed his lips together and spoke.
“Back then, it was Xiancha who brought me out from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Because of Xiancha, there is today’s Emperor Huangtian.”
“At that time, I always yearned for the world beyond the mountains.”
“But now, I am incredibly yearning for the life I once had.”
“This path is truly too exhausting. I cannot imagine how one could endure this path alone.”
Looking at Wu Li in the pool, Nalan Xingde spoke.
“This path is indeed very difficult. Even so, Xiancha has always been on this path.”
“Xiancha taught us one by one under such painful circumstances.”
“And we became shackles on his path forward.”
“For Xiancha, for your dreams, you must live another life.”
Hearing these words, Wu Li was slightly lost in thought.
He muttered, “I never understood why Song Yuanshan and Wanyan Yue were determined to d*e.”
“Now I understand; they could not bear the weight of time.”
“The reason they lived longer was merely to spend more time with Xiancha.”
“Do you think one day I might also not be able to bear the weight of time?”
“No,” Nalan Xingde shook his head and said, “because you are Emperor Huangtian.”
“Your future still holds infinite possibilities. You are the only one with a chance to match Xiancha.”
“Xiancha still needs time, and only by living can you secure enough time for him.”
“But I may not be able to stop if I continue.”
“If you can’t stop, then don’t stop. Who are you, the astonishing Emperor Huangtian?”
After hearing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Wu Li’s mouth.
“Yes!”
“I am Emperor Huangtian!”
“For Xiancha, for what I aspire to, for those who have passed away, I must live.”
Fresh flesh emerged from Wu Li’s wounds, and his damaged body began to rapidly heal.
Seeing this scene, Nalan Xingde couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Indeed, the Emperor Huangtian who shook the heavens also encountered an inner demon.
And his inner demon was Chen Changsheng, who guided him onto the path of cultivation.
Since the Battle of Extinction, Wu Li’s state had not been good.
In that battle, he encountered very powerful enemies, but what shook his confidence was not their strength.
It was seeing his own future in those enemies.
Wu Li would eventually reach the height and realm of those enemies, but even reaching that level, these existences still had no end in sight.
He feared this path truly had no end, and he feared one day he would part ways with his former “mentor.”

Mountain River Academy.
“Sir, are you really not going to see Xu Hu and them?”

Traditional Simplified
Qian Ya followed behind Chen Changsheng, sometimes subtly trying to make Chen Changsheng find a way to “save” someone.
Facing Qian Ya’s behavior, Chen Changsheng curled his lips and said.
“It’s for them, so why don’t you use your spare time to worry about yourself instead?”
“Sir, you’re being a bit misleading here.”
“How can being locked up be anything but bad?”
“Besides, what trouble could I possibly have?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said.
“Being locked up is definitely a bad thing because they no longer have to deal with other matters.”
“Ma Guang doesn’t need to be locked up, but his life is at stake.”
“The academy does not prohibit students from ‘debating,’ but it forbids them from killing each other.”
“Xu Hu is the successor of ‘Spring No. 1 in the World’ and also half of the young generation of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.”
“If he is killed by imperial artifacts, would Spring No. 1 in the World and the Qingqiu Fox Clan stand idly by?”
“What if one day you are also pursued and killed? Would the God of Wealth turn a blind eye?”
“Of course not,” Qian Ya spoke, “I am a core disciple of the God of Wealth lineage. Targeting me is equivalent to targeting the God of Wealth lineage.”
“There you go!”
“Ma Guang’s situation is similar. Using imperial artifacts to k*ll Xu Hu.”
“This incident can be attributed to a momentary impulse or deliberately targeting ‘Spring No. 1 in the World.'”
“In any case, Ma Guang will have to pay a price.”
“Moreover, the other participants will also face trouble.”
“When the Divine Clan fights the Heavenly Silkworm Clan, and the Beast Clan fights the Demon Clan, are these conflicts racial, personal grudges, or just child’s play?”
“Behind every claim lies a different outcome. Xu Hu and them are not yet ready.”
“If they involve themselves, they might not achieve the desired effect.”
“Instead, it’s better to let them stay in the small room for a few days until this matter is over before they come out.”
“Do you still think being locked up is a bad thing?”
After hearing this, Qian Ya looked up and thought for a moment, saying, “This actually doesn’t seem like a bad thing.”
“So what’s my danger?”
“Shouldn’t someone be challenging me?”
As she spoke, Qian Ya instantly became alert.
Looking at Qian Ya’s alert appearance, Chen Changsheng smiled and said.
“With your strength, it’s not worth sending someone specifically to challenge you.”
“Your trouble comes from another direction.”
“I ask you, what is the strategy behind the Divine Source subsidy?”
“Of course, it’s the Demon Court.”
“What is the main use of the Divine Source subsidy?”
“To buy points from other students.”
“Correct!”
“You’ve bought all the points in the black market and successfully inflated the prices.”
“As a result, you’ve effectively torn a piece of meat off the Demon Court.”
“The Demon Court, which controls the world, cannot simply swallow this loss, so they will find a way to deal with you.”
“You acquired points by buying them at high prices.”
“If the selling price is lower than the buying price, you will lose money.”
“At this point, if someone lowers the price of points again, then at least half of your stock will be lost.”
“If the person targeting you is ruthless enough, they could make you lose everything.”
“Given such losses, how do you think the God of Wealth lineage will punish you?”
