Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 899 - Your Scheme Is Very Deep!

Chapter 899: Your Scheme Is Very Deep!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Fog had appeared, bringing an additional hint of moisture to the dry air.
Sun Mo hid under a roof, looking at Dark Dawn’s guards outside the Dragon Subduing Palace, feeling troubled.
Even though these black-clothed men were separated by over 30 meters each, there’d definitely be sounds if they were to start fighting.
“I suddenly feel like learning the Poison Scripture.”
Sun Mo sighed.
It was no wonder people said that one would only feel that they had studied too little when it was time to use the knowledge.
The study of poison didn’t have a good reputation, but it was the most suitable for secret assassination. If Sun Mo knew poison, then he’d be able to resolve the problem of infiltrating into the Dragon Subduing Palace.
Thankfully, humans needed to answer the call of nature.
After Sun Mo squatted for over 20 minutes, a black-clothed man headed to a wall in the distance after informing his comrade.
“Thank god that he’s a civilized one.”
If he were to encounter a trashy guy who just took off his pants on the spot and relieved himself, Sun Mo wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Sun Mo didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately infiltrated there.
“Pharaoh, it’s up to you now!”
The scarab immediately crawled over with its long legs. Before it got close, a soul attack had already smashed toward the guard. At the same time, a swarm of bugs gushed out.
Boom!
The black-clothed guard was struck by the soul attack and felt giddy. He then saw a large number of bugs flying over. He wanted to call out to warn the others, but the bugs covered his face and then entered from his ears, nostrils, and mouth.
In an instant, his voice was blocked.
That wasn’t all. Some of the bugs even squeezed through and popped his eyeballs, invading into his skull and engulfing his brain matter.
The black-clothed guard instantly died.
Before the corpse fell, Sun Mo held onto him, avoiding the noise from when it fell. He then threw a glance and felt so disgusted that he wanted to puke.
“Quickly get these bugs away,” Sun Mo urged.
The corpse was like a dead cat that had rotted by the roadside in summer, with flies all over it.
“Master, aren’t you burning the bridge too quickly after crossing it?”
The Holy Pharaoh felt gloomy. It wanted to be praised.
“I’ve noted your merit down. After we’ve killed all the black-clothed men, you’re free to eat all the brain matter you want.”
Sun Mo quickly took off the guard’s black clothes and put it on himself. It didn’t fit him well, but he had no choice.
Taking in a deep breath, Sun Mo recalled how the black-clothed man’s posture and speed were like when he was walking and headed back to the teleportation formation.
“Tsk, he’s really wary.”
At the sight of this scene, the Holy Pharaoh had to give it to Sun Mo. It wasn’t a loss to be a battle pet for a person like this.
(If Sun Mo were to become a saint in the future, my status would probably become very high as well, right?)
(I wonder if I’ll be able to reach my past level again.)
Although Sun Mo was very anxious, he didn’t enter the Dragon Subduing Palace immediately. He only turned and got on the teleportation formation after waiting for another ten minutes.
The other black-clothed men threw a glance at him and didn’t show any reaction.
The sound of dragon roars continued to ring in the Dragonroar Great Hall.
Sun Mo looked up and over. There were densely-packed black-clothed men everywhere. They were wearing helmets and armors, with at least 1,000 men stationed here.
It seemed that the Four Symbols Starlord also knew that he might not be able to get his hands on the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture before the Dragon Subduing Academy’s reinforcements came back. Therefore, these men were here to drag out the time.
After entering the second floor, Sun Mo saw that a few elites were stationed here. Other than that, many teachers and students were held hostage here, forced to squat down in a corner.
When Sun Mo came in, those elites’ gazes immediately looked over.
“Did something happen?”
A man, who was clearly someone from a high position and might possibly be a star general, asked.
“F*ck, why are you guys having such a big reaction?”
Sun Mo was speechless. At a time like this, he could only adapt accordingly. Just as he was about to give an excuse, anxious footsteps rang out outside.
Sun Mo immediately turned and stood to the side, raising his right hand toward the back as if saying that he was with them.
As expected, the star general’s gaze turned to the back.
A group of black-clothed men came in, holding down Wanyan Mei’s group.
“These people had run off, yet they came back to court death. They are really fools.”
The leading star general mocked.
Sun Mo took a look and noticed that two great teachers and five students who had left with Wanyan Mei were missing. They should have been killed.
“Jin Country’s princess? Haha, you’ve achieved a great merit. Go and meet Lord Starlord!”
The star general congratulated.
After this group of men passed by, Sun Mo followed behind them naturally. No one suspected him at all.
Other than the fact that Sun Mo was daring and didn’t show any flaws in his performance, it was also thanks to the black-clothed men’s arrogance. After all, who’d have expected that someone would infiltrate here?
It’d be no different from courting death.
In the hall where Sun Mo had almost died previously, there were now over 100 beast tamers and spirit controllers studying the walls, attempting to decipher them.
A middle-aged man crossed his arms and stood in the center of the hall, deep in thought.
He was wearing a black longrobe that had the image of the rosy clouds of dawn embroidered on its hems. He was wearing two rings on his ring finger, with the words ‘Four’ and ‘Symbols’ engraved on each of them respectively.
Sun Mo didn’t activate his Divine Sight but only threw a glance before quickly lowering his head.
It was because top-notch experts like him had extremely sharp senses. They’d be able to detect it immediately if there were people sneaking looks at him.
The star general bowed and reported to the Four Symbols Starlord.
“Princess Wanyan has been caught? Well done.”
The Four Symbols Starlord praised, his gaze brushing past these hostages. “What insights do you guys have toward these walls?”
No one could answer him.
“Take them away!”
The Four Symbols Starlord waved his hand then continued to return to his job of deciphering the wall murals.
There was no meaning for Sun Mo to stay here either. Therefore, he followed the star general’s army out.
“Your Highness!”
When those hostages saw Wanyan Mei, a bit of a commotion arose.
“Don’t be noisy, otherwise, we’ll cut off your tongue.”
The star general threatened.
The surroundings instantly fell quiet.
“What should I do now?”
Sun Mo wrecked his brain but couldn’t think of a way out. Putting aside the Starlord, just the six star generals in the hall were opponents that he couldn’t defeat.
Time passed by slowly. After approximately half an hour, the Four Symbols Starlord walked out, did a gesture, and a star general immediately stepped forth and walked toward Wanyan Mei.
“What are you thinking of doing?”
A great teacher spoke up but was kicked in the stomach by the star general.
“Headmaster Xiao, come out. Tell me the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture’s profoundness.”
The Four Symbols Starlord’s lips twitched. “Don’t force me to kill.”
The other hostages didn’t have enough importance, but Wanyan Mei was different.
After the Four Symbols Starlord said that, he stopped with the crap. He waited for ten seconds and then suddenly flicked out his finger.
Swoosh!
A crescent-shaped spirit qi blade shot out, slashing toward Wanyan Mei’s head.
However, the instant before the attack hit, it shattered as if it had collided with an invisible wall.
“Stop it!”
A dignified voice rang out. “Even if you’re a dark great teacher, you’re a secondary saint after all. Don’t you think that you’re too low class to threaten the students’ lives?”
Murong Ye came in just like that.
He was very strong. The heavily armed soldiers outside couldn’t stop him at all.
“Headmaster Murong!”
“Vice-headmaster!”
“Boohoohoo, we’re saved!”
When the hostages saw that Murong Ye had come, all of them became agitated. The black-clothed men next to them immediately kicked and beat them up, getting them to stay quiet.
“It’s because I know that there’ll definitely be someone to save her!”
The Four Symbols Starlord sneered. “I just didn’t expect that the one who came is a vice-headmaster and not the headmaster.”
“Why? You seem to look down on me?”
Murong Ye squinted his eyes.
“Isn’t that obvious? What I want is someone who knows the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture’s secret. You don’t know it, so why did you come out?”
The Four Symbols Starlord sneered.
Even though Murong Ye was the vice-headmaster, he didn’t understand the true meanings of the wall murals.
Only the headmaster could obtain the legacy.
“Atrocity!”
Murong Ye let out an enraged bellow, shooting out at lightning speed.
The Four Symbols Starlord let out a cold laugh and a majestic eagle, a white tiger, a large snake, and a huge tortoise immediately appeared next to him. All of them attacked fiercely toward Murong Ye.
Although the Four Symbols Starlord said that he looked down on Murong Ye, how could someone who could become the vice-headmaster of a top-notch school like the Dragon Subduing Academy be trash?
Of course, he had to go all out to face him!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the two sides exchanged blows, spirit qi erupted and the entire Dragon Subduing Palace trembled. Dust came falling down from the ceiling.
Sun Mo wanted to watch the battle, but his brain was thrown into a mess by the seething spirit qi, bringing him great pain.
Hu!
The large snake opened its mouth and spurted out purple poisonous smoke that spread out.
The black-clothed men immediately ran out with the hostages.
“Fight back!”
A great teacher wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate, but two star generals jointly attacked him and he fell into the purple smoke.
“Ah!”
This great teacher let out an agonizing cry. Parts of his body that came into contact with the purple poisonous smoke instantly corroded, leaving only rotting bones behind.
He used both his arms and legs to crawl out. Even though he had broken free from the purple smoke, it was useless. The parts that had corroded continued to extend out.
This terrifying and brutal scene made the other teachers and students who still wanted to retaliate feel as if a bucket of icy water had been poured down over their heads. It calmed them down completely.
Everyone backed out.
The battle situation in the Draconic Human Great Hall was very intense, but things fell quiet after five minutes.
The star generals exchanged a glance and then held onto the hostages to go back in. When Wanyan Mei’s group saw the rotting corpse on the ground, all of them let out grieving cries.
“Headmaster Murong!”
The group felt the loss of one of their own.
Vice-headmaster Murong was very amazing, but the one he was facing was a secondary saint. He was one of the seven Starlords in Dark Dawn.
“Isn’t Headmaster Xiao training in seclusion in the school? Why is he not coming out when things are like this?”
“That’s right, our lives aren’t important, but the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture is our school’s ultimate divine art. If we lost it, how could we call ourselves the Dragon Subduing Academy in the future?”
“It’s so embarrassing. A top-notch school being thrashed and killed by someone as easily as if they are taking a stroll in their backyard garden. Our face is completely gone.”
The great teachers were very angry.
At this instant, they felt hatred toward Xiao Fulong.
“Stop with the scolding. Your headmaster has come!”
The Four Symbols Starlord suddenly spoke up and couldn’t help but laugh, “As expected of the barbarians who believe in survival of the fittest. Even at a time like this, you’re still waiting for others to throw away their lives before you get the benefit.”
An old man with snow-white hair walked out.
He was wearing a golden longrobe that had nine dragons of varying colors embroidered on it. All of the dragon heads were groveling at his feet, having a strong symbolic meaning.
“You’re mistaken. I was only being a little more wary, worried that it might be a trap.”
Xiao Fulong seemed to be explaining things to the Four Symbols Starlord but was actually saying this to Wanyan Mei’s group.
As the headmaster, he had to defend his face.
“Trap?”
The Four Symbols Starlord raised his brows. “Are you saying that Murong Ye and I might join hands to deceive you?”
“That’s right. After all, he has been hankering after the position that I’m on for years.”
Xiao Fulong sighed.
“Then you aren’t scared that it’s a trap now?”
The Four Symbols Starlord sneered.
“No.”
Xiao Fulong sighed and looked toward Murong Ye’s corpse. “It’s because he is already dead.”
That was right. He couldn’t sense Murong Ye’s signs of life anymore.
“Murong Ye, I have wronged you. I apologize.”
Xiao Fulong bowed.
He hid in the dark and didn’t come out at the first instant, wanting to see Murong Ye’s reaction. The truth turned out to be that he loved this school and these students.
Of course, the reason Xiao Fulong had stepped out was not because he was concerned for Wanyan Mei’s life. It was because Murong Ye had died, proving that there wasn’t any scheme here. Therefore, it was time for him to take care of this mess.
“Four Symbols Starlord, you might be very strong, but you’re no match for me. If you want the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, you’ll need at least three Dark Saints to join hands or for the Dawn Sovereign himself to come personally.”
Xiao Fulong said this and suddenly pounced toward the Four Symbols Starlord.
As long as the Four Symbols Starlord was killed, the crisis would be gone.
But just as Xiao Fulong charged up to the Four Symbols Starlord and wanted to shatter the Starlord’s head with a palm strike, the latter suddenly exploded.
Boom!
A tremendous amount of purple poisonous smoke permeated out.
“What?”
Xiao Fulong was surprised. (Did I just fall into the trap?)
“What’s going on?”
Wanyan Mei was completely shocked. Was it still hopeless even with the headmaster making a move? It felt as if everything had been calculated.
The battle amidst the smoke was very intense and spirit qi seethed.
Suddenly, Xiao Fulong darted out, his dressing looking a little forlorn. He didn’t pause and pounced toward the group of hostages.
Two star generals tried to stop him, but before they could touch him, their necks suddenly twisted, and their heads turned to their back.
“Your Highness, I’ll bring you out first.”
Xiao Fulong knew that he had fallen into a trap. Therefore, before he figured things out, he wanted to take Wanyan Mei with him and leave first. The lives of the others weren’t that important.
As for the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture?
Please, these people wouldn’t be able to get it even if they were to wreck their brains.
At this moment, Duanmu Li suddenly made a move. With a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Fulong and slapped out both palms consecutively.
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Fulong fended off all the blows, but a venomous snake suddenly came out from Wanyan Mei’s chest, biting Xiao Fulong on the neck.
Pa!
Xiao Fulong backed off rapidly, grabbing onto the venomous snake and tugging it off.
The battle stopped.
However, everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment.
Those black-clothed men and star generals were no exceptions either.
What on earth happened earlier?
In the crowd, Sun Mo’s pupils also contracted abruptly. He didn’t expect the situation to be 10,000 times worse off than he had expected.
Even the Dragon Subduing Academy’s headmaster, who was their trump card, was a goner as well.
“You… You’re a dark great teacher?”
Helian Xue felt that even his voice was trembling.
How strong was his battle prowess to be able to deal Xiao Fulong a serious blow?
“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Duanmu Li. In the Dark Dawn, I have a title called the Four Symbols Starlord.”
Duanmu Li’s voice was slow and sounded very comfortable. His words brought so much astonishment to everyone that they were all stunned.
“Star… starlord?”
Helian Xue’s group felt that their legs were all trembling.
To speak the truth, given their close distance, they could surround and attack Duanmu Li. However, none of them did that.
“Princess Wanyan, I’ve frightened you.”
Duanmu Li laughed softly.
“Stop with the crap talk. Hurry up with the important matter!”
An unexpected person walked out from the purple poisonous smoke.
