Dark Two looked at Aotian who had collapsed on the ground, his expression constantly changing.
The fact that Aotian, with only the cultivation of Innate Fourth Layer, could inflict such significant injuries on himself filled Dark Two with a strong sense of threat.
Currently, Aotian's cultivation was still low, and he couldn't cause any particularly severe damage to the Underworld Society. However, his potential was indeed terrifying. If left to grow, it would only be a matter of time before the Underworld Society would be destroyed by this kid.
A thought suddenly flashed through Dark Two's mind.
The emergence of this thought startled even Dark Two himself, but when he saw Aotian lying on the ground, a sense of crisis truly arose in his heart.
If he did not kill this kid today, it would undoubtedly be like letting a tiger return to the mountain, and it was a very potential tiger at that.
Thinking this way, a chilling killing intent flickered in Dark Two's eyes.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, Snow Qincheng's Crystal Sword suddenly unsheathed, and the icy sword energy shot towards Dark Two like an enraged divine dragon.
Instantly, Dark Two's expression changed. Although his cultivation was higher than that of Snow Qincheng, he had also sustained considerable injuries from fighting Aotian. Engaging in battle with Snow Qincheng right now would be extremely unwise.
After all, Snow Qincheng's strength was certainly not weaker than that of Aotian.
To have made a name for herself as the “Ice Snow Sword Immortal” in a place like Xuantian Academy, which was filled with Monsters, her hidden cards must be astonishing as well.
Weighing the pros and cons, Dark Two then said in a sinister voice:
“Aotian, Snow Qincheng, this guardian will remember both of you. The next time we meet will be the day you both meet your end!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Dark Two shot off into the distance.
Snow Qincheng's expression changed; it seemed she did not expect Dark Two to leave so abruptly.
Immediately, Snow Qincheng stepped forward fiercely and coldly shouted:
"Want to leave? First, ask the sword in my hand if it agrees. Ice Soul Sword Technique, Second Form: Ice Lotus, fill the sky!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Crystal Sword in Snow Qincheng's hand began to dance continuously. A terrifying chill enveloped the entire hill.
Then, countless white Ice Lotuses shot out from the swirling Crystal Sword, covering the entire hill with an unending sea of Ice Lotuses.
From a distance, the shape of the hill was no longer visible, only the continuous shining Ice Lotuses remained.
Dark Two suddenly halted his flight, his gaze filled with surprise as he examined the countless Ice Lotuses surrounding him.
"I suppose this is one of the three great martial arts of Xuantian Academy, the Ice Soul Sword Technique?" Dark Two asked lightly while staring at Snow Qincheng.
"Since you know the name of the Ice Soul Sword Technique, do you think you can still escape?" Snow Qincheng replied with a hint of pride in her tone.
A mocking smile appeared on Dark Two's face as he said:
"If this sword technique were to be executed by Aotian, I might indeed be in serious trouble today. Unfortunately, the one wielding it is you and not him!"
Snow Qincheng's eyebrows stood upright.
"What do you mean by that?"
"My Shadow Charm Technique from the Underworld Society is equally renowned in the Fengyun Nation, and the only nemesis of this movement technique is the Soul Power of a Soul Practitioner. Unfortunately, you are not a Soul Practitioner!"
As soon as Dark Two finished speaking, he vanished like a ghost from Snow Qincheng's sight. Immediately, one of the countless Ice Lotuses exploded strangely, and a figure resembling a ghost shot out from there.
"Damn it, he just knows how to escape!"
Watching that ghostly figure break free from the cover of the Ice Lotuses, Snow Qincheng's expression turned extremely grim.
At this moment, Dark Two had completely escaped from Snow Qincheng's attack range. Coupled with Dark Two's bizarre and profound movement technique, Snow Qincheng could only wear a face of helplessness and unwillingness.
On a high cliff, Aotian and Snow Qincheng stood quietly, gazing at the distant Giant Mountain.
It had been nearly a month since their last confrontation with Dark Two.
During this month, Aotian's injuries had mostly healed. After all, Aotian had only overexerted his Soul Power and could recover after some rest.
In this month, Aotian had also completely erased the Yin Xuan Seal. Even so, his mood still felt extremely heavy.
His identity had been completely exposed; the existence of the Yin Xuan Seal no longer mattered.
After all, he was going to Xuantian Academy, and his appearance and name were already known to Dark Two.
Once Dark Two returned to the Underworld Society, he would undoubtedly report this matter. Once the news came out of Dark Two's mouth, it would mean that he was already well-known within the Underworld Society. Therefore, the existence of the Yin Xuan Seal seemed less important.
“Xue Qingcheng, tell me about the Underworld Society,” Aotian asked after a long pause.
Snow Qincheng was slightly taken aback and hesitated before saying, “Not many people in Fengyun Nation know about the Underworld Society.”
“What?!” Snow Qincheng's first statement shocked Aotian. How could a force that dared to challenge Xuantian Academy be so little known in Fengyun Nation?
“The Underworld Society has been around for about three hundred years. Three hundred years ago, the Underworld Society suddenly emerged, specifically targeting our students at Xuantian Academy, clearly opposing our academy!”
“And for these three hundred years, the Underworld Society has only targeted us at Xuantian Academy. They have not interfered with other forces in Fengyun Nation. Even if they did intervene, it would never be under the name of the Underworld Society. Therefore, not many people in Fengyun Nation are aware of the existence of the Underworld Society.”
“Since the Underworld Society poses such a significant threat to our academy, doesn’t our academy plan to eradicate them?” Aotian asked curiously.
Snow Qincheng sighed and said, “Eradicating the Underworld Society is easier said than done. It is rumored that the leader of the Underworld Society is on par with our academy’s principal. Over a hundred years ago, our principal had a confrontation with the leader of the Underworld Society, but it ended in a stalemate.”
Aotian was taken aback. Although he didn’t know how strong the principal of Xuantian Academy truly was, he could guess some from Cheng Yuanshan.
Cheng Yuanshan, as the elder of the academy, had the strength to easily repel Spirit Realm Martial Artists, so the principal must be even more terrifying! Otherwise, how could he lead the entire academy?
However, even such a powerful figure could do nothing against the leader of the Underworld Society. One could imagine that the Underworld Society was not an easy target to deal with.
“After that battle between the principal and the leader of the Underworld Society, Xuantian Academy's determination to uproot them wavered. Thus, what was initially intended to be a major offensive by Xuantian Academy calmed down. The higher-ups of the academy only advised students to be cautious after leaving the academy and sent experts to protect them; beyond that, there was no other way.”
Aotian couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He completely understood the sudden reluctance of Xuantian Academy to take action against the Underworld Society.
From the few words of Snow Qincheng, Aotian realized that even if the comprehensive strength of the Underworld Society was not as strong as that of Xuantian Academy, it wouldn't be too far off.
If Xuantian Academy were to engage in a full-scale conflict with the Underworld Society, the final outcome would undoubtedly be mutual destruction. The best-case scenario would be that Xuantian Academy eliminates the Underworld Society, but at a great cost to themselves.
Once Xuantian Academy suffered significant losses, other forces within Fengyun Nation would surely pounce on them like hungry wolves, seeking to devour them entirely. Therefore, Xuantian Academy dared not act against the Underworld Society. After all, once they took action, even if they could eliminate the Underworld Society, Xuantian Academy would not last long thereafter.
Xuantian Academy was too powerful and drew too much attention; other forces within Fengyun Nation would be eager to see this academy fall.
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that the Underworld Society is a disgrace to Xuantian Academy. What do you mean by that?" Aotian suddenly asked.
Snow Qincheng hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly and clearly:
"Because the leader of this Underworld Society was once a student of our Xuantian Academy..."
