Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 900 - Great Ancestor-Level Puppeteer, Deadly Secret Art!

Chapter 900: Great Ancestor-Level Puppeteer, Deadly Secret Art!

“Vice-headmaster?”
The hostages were all stunned.
They had seen Murong Ye being killed by the Four Symbols Starlord earlier and their hearts had ached. After all, he had died in a bid to save everyone. But now, judging from his tone, he seemed to be in cahoots with the Dark Dawn.
The one who had been dealt the greatest blow was Xiao Fulong. He was now on the verge of death.
“Why haven’t you died?”
Xiao Fulong was completely confused.
He knew that Murong Ye was hankering after his position. Therefore, even after having seen how unbridled the Dark Dawn was in the Dragon Subduing Palace, he had held it in. He had wanted to see through Murong Ye as a person.
Murong Ye had died. He had really died. There wasn’t a chance of it being faked. That was why Xiao Fulong appeared. What he didn’t expect was that he still fell for the scheme.
“Are you very baffled?”
Murong Ye looked at Xiao Fulong who was lying on the floor, feeling pleased.
“Hmph!”
Xiao Fulong let out a cold snort. Then, all of a sudden, he thought of a possibility. “Spiritual control technique? That’s not right. It’s impossible for you to believe in Duanmu Li completely.”
At the mention of this, Xiao Fulong then looked toward Duanmu Li.
(You’ve hidden it really well. I haven’t noticed it at all during all these years.)
Spiritual control techniques were very mysterious. They could be used to fake deaths to the extent that the fake could be passed off for the original.
Duanmu Li smiled and nodded, not giving a reply.
He was known as the Four Symbols Starlord because he excelled in the study of beast taming. Therefore, he naturally wanted to take the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture, which was known as being able to control and tame all beasts, for himself.
“It’s our Mingyue!”
Murong Ye boasted.
Hearing this, Wanyan Mei and the others turned their heads in unison, looking toward Murong Mingyue. She shrank at the corner of the wall, not standing out despite being together with the group of hostages.
“…”
Xiao Fulong’s brows furrowed tightly.
He was a saint and had special secret techniques. He was able to verify it with 100% accuracy if a person had died. The Murong Ye from earlier had completely lost his vitality.
“Headmaster, the Darkness Continent is so big and mysterious. Even if a saint was to spend their entire life learning, they wouldn’t be able to understand it thoroughly.”
Murong Ye’s tone was filled with emotions. “This is how the world is. The more you study and the more you fear, the more you’ll feel that you’re insignificant.”
Buzz!
A great teacher halo erupted. It was Priceless Advice.
Wanyan Mei and the other students, as well as Dark Dawn’s star generals, didn’t know about these things. They looked stunned. However, the great teachers all agreed.
Sun Mo, especially, had experience with quantum mechanics before and had studied biology as well. Therefore, he had a deeper understanding of Murong Ye’s words.
Given the modern world’s technology, there were still a lot of mysteries on Earth that couldn’t be understood, let alone the Darkness Continent.
“Is it some kind of secret treasure?”
Xiao Fulong asked.
“Hehe, headmaster, you’re underestimating me too much. Killing with a secret treasure of darkness? I’m sorry, as a great teacher, I look down on using such despicable means.”
Murong Ye had his pride too.
“Puppetry?”
Xiao Fulong finally guessed the answer.
“That’s right. Our Mingyue is already at the great ancestor level. It’s just that I’ve been hiding her capabilities all this while.”
Murong Ye gave a reserved smile. “Are you surprised? Are you shocked?”
“Great ancestor-level?”
Wanyan Mei’s group was all stunned.
The princess was treated as an absolute genius from a young age and had astonishing talent in the study of spirit runes. Despite this, she didn’t dare to dream of being able to get the title of a great ancestor at the age of 30. Moreover, Murong Mingyue was only 25 years old…
“Everyone, in this world, there will always be some geniuses that you can never keep up with.”
Murong Ye looked at Murong Mingyue, his gaze filled with admiration.
It could be said that the reason why he dared to scheme against Xiao Fulong and hanker after the headmaster position was because he had a powerful helper, Murong Mingyue, by his side.
“It’s true that Teacher Mingyue is talented.”
Duanmu Li praised.
Sssss!
Everyone gasped, no longer having any doubt. Being able to get the praise of a Four Symbols Starlord was enough to show how amazing Murong Mingyue was.
(It’s no wonder that you’re so unhappy!)
Sun Mo suddenly understood why Murong Mingyue was always depressed. She only wanted to teach and educate people, not do such shameless things.
“Headmaster, you should be proud. In order to deal with you, Teacher Duanmu and I had put in a lot of effort.”
Murong Ye teased. “Therefore, isn’t it about time for you to hand over the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture? Don’t let us waste our efforts.”
Murong Ye would only have the right to assume the headmaster position after getting this school’s ultimate divine art.
“You’re already a secondary saint?”
Xiao Fulong sized up Murong Ye.
“That’s right. Otherwise, how would I have the right to work together with a Starlord?”
Murong Ye kept one hand behind his back.
Rising up to a secondary saint was an extremely glorious moment. However, Murong Ye had hidden the news of this in order to lower Xiao Fulong’s guard.
“I’m completely convinced.”
Xiao Fulong sighed. It wasn’t an aggrieved loss to be killed by two secondary saints. He then smiled. “But the two of you can forget about getting our Dragon Subduing Academy’s ultimate divine art.”
“That remains to be seen.”
The Four Symbols Starlord snapped his fingers and a vortex-shaped cloud immediately appeared in front of him. Then, a tortoise crawled out.
Even if Xiao Fulong didn’t say anything, the Four Symbols Starlord had his means to obtain his memories.
At the sight of this scene, Xiao Fulong let out an agonizing laugh and then a long sigh.
“Predecessors, I, Xiao Fulong, have let you guys down!”
Bang!
After saying that, Xiao Fulong’s head exploded.
He had suffered serious injuries and definitely wouldn’t be able to survive. Moreover, as he was a saint and the Dragon Subduing Academy’s headmaster, it’d be too embarrassing and dangerous for him to be interrogated. Hence, he might as well commit suicide.
“Ahh!”
Seeing that Xiao Fulong’s head had exploded into smithereens, mashed meat, and bone fragments that splattered everywhere, Wanyan Mei’s group screamed in fright.
Sun Mo was a little surprised too. He hadn’t expected that the first saint he met in his lifetime would end up in such a plight.
“Brutal!”
Duanmu Li’s lips twitched.
Some dark secret arts could extract information from a corpse’s brain. Therefore, Xiao Fulong had exploded his brain.
“It’s a pity that you don’t know how terrifying a great ancestor-level puppeteer is. Mingyue, I’ll leave this to you.”
Murong Ye made ‘tsk’ sounds.
Murong Mingyue actually didn’t want to do such things. However, she had no choice and could only walk up to Xiao Fulong’s corpse. “Take off his clothes.”
A star general immediately stepped forward and followed the order. There was also a Dark Dawn’s guard who handed over a small cloth bag to her. This was Murong Mingyue’s item. When she had been acting as a hostage, she had handed it over to make it seem more realistic.
Murong Mingyue took out a wooden box from the cloth bag and opened it. There was a row of steel needles of different lengths and thicknesses. She then started to pierce the steel needles into the corpse.
When the hostages saw this scene, their countenances turned pale.
A beautiful woman was handling a headless corpse that was lying in a pool of blood. This contrast was too intense.
15 minutes later, many steel needles had been pierced into Xiao Fulong’s corpse. Moreover, there were also strange runes drawn on it. Murong Mingyue then took out a palm-sized rock and pressed it down on the corpse where the heart was at.
Hu!
Murong Mingyue took a deep breath and then channeled her spirit qi into the rock.
Zap!
A tremendous amount of blue electricity darted out from the rock, looking like many small snakes that extended out on the corpse and then entered it.
Ba-thump!
The headless corpse twitched furiously as if it had been electrocuted countless times. It wriggled intensely and then sat up fiercely.
Ah!
Even the star generals who had killed many people before revealed horrified expressions, let alone the girls.
Duanmu Li’s eyes lit up when he saw this scene.
Murong Mingyue didn’t pay any heed to the commotions around her. She took out a metal plate that had many bulges on it. There were also 12 copper threads on this plate.
Under everyone’s baffled gaze, Murong Mingyue pierced the copper threads into different parts of the corpse and then quickly knocked on the metal plate’s bulges with both hands.
Zap! Zap!
Sun Mo could see fine electricity flashing on the copper threads.
The sight of this scene surprised him because he vaguely sensed something.
As expected, about six to seven minutes later, the corpse stood up shakily. As it didn’t have a head, it looked exceptionally scary.
“I didn’t expect Xiao Fulong to be so ruthless. To think that he detonated his brain. Otherwise, the control would be easier.”
Murong Ye might seem to be reproachful, but he was clearly wearing a proud expression on his face.
(Did you see that? This is how amazing a great ancestor is!)
“How long more would it take?”
Duanmu Li took out a pocket watch and checked the time.
Dawn was approaching and he didn’t have that much time left.
“It’s fine now!”
Murong Mingyue said this and then tugged hard with her right hand. Those copper threads fell off from the corpse.
The corpse started walking steadily. It was going to open up the restrictions on the Dragon Heart Great Hall.
No one except the Dragon Subduing Academy’s headmasters as well as the headmaster candidates had the right to enter this floor.
Murong Ye and Duanmu Li quickly followed after it.
“What… what is that?”
Helian Xue’s face turned pale.
“It must be a dark secret art that involves puppetry.”
“I didn’t expect that Murong Mingyue turned out to be so strong.”
The great teachers were all astonished. People who had reached the ancestor level in a particular area had the ability to establish their own factions.
Murong Mingyue’s skill was definitely the one and only across the entire Nine Provinces.
Sun Mo was very curious about what would happen after this. However, he was disguised as a guard at the moment and didn’t have the right to go down. He didn’t even dare to send the holy pharaoh to scout either.
There was no helping it. There were two secondary saints, one great ancestor, and several star generals on the other side. The enemies’ formation was too great.
Wanyan Mei felt unsettled and kept staring at the entrance to the hall’s corridor.
To think that the headmaster had died?
What was even more horrifying was that the enemies could make use of his corpse to open up the Dragon Heart Great Hall. Wouldn’t that mean that they were going to lose the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture?
If Duanmu Li were to get away with his scheme, then how was the Dragon Subduing Academy going to establish its standing in the future?
No!
What they should be concerned about was that since Murong Ye had exposed his identity, he’d definitely silence them.
Half an hour later, a star general came out anxiously and shouted toward the Dark Dawn’s guards.
“Bring the hostages down!”
Sun Mo immediately went up and drove Wanyan Mei’s group over.
After passing through the downward-sloping corridor, there was the Dragon Heart Great Hall.
Many walls here were erected irregularly. There were diagrams of ancient beasts drawn on each of these walls.
This was the first time Wanyan Mei and the others had come here. Even though their lives were being threatened, they still looked around, unable to suppress their curiosity.
After all, this was the most important place in the Dragon Subduing Academy.
“As expected, it’s very troublesome without the head!”
Murong Ye felt upset. He had thought that there would be a scroll that had the contents of the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture recorded in it. In the worst-case scenario, they could just get the corpse to write it out. However, after arriving in this place, they realized that the legacy of this school’s ultimate divine art had been passed down directly through souls.
That was annoying.
“We were too conceited after successfully scheming against a saint. I should have stopped him in time.”
Murong Ye felt regretful.
“Don’t worry, I have a way out!”
Duanmu Li smiled and then looked toward the hostages. “Sun Mo, didn’t you decipher the murals at the Battlegod Canyon? Would you be able to decipher this dragon language?”
