Chapter 365: Chapter 210: The Secret of the Seven-star Study Palace_2

Xu Yan furrowed his brow, resentfully saying, “Who knows what’s going on with him? I killed that evil Ice Lord in the Ice Tower, and then he appeared.

“The first thing he does is ask where people are. Who knows who he’s asking about?

“I just asked him one question, and he disdains and insults me, calling me all sorts of swine-like things.

“That I can’t bear, so I killed him.”

Bai Yun Kong and Pang Yu mourned for a while for that unknown martial artist powerhouse. That guy was really asking for trouble, getting on Xu Yan’s bad side.

At this moment, they both felt a bit desolate inside. They had trained all their lives and considered themselves top tier within the Inner Domain prior to Xu Yan’s appearance. They had few opponents.

After Xu Yan appeared, they realised that their abilities were nothing at all.

They suddenly felt inexplicably sad.

How old is Xu Yan? He’s killed a martial artist powerhouse with just three blows.

If Xu Yan says it was three blows, it must be true. In contrast, forget killing the powerhouse, they wouldn’t even be able to handle one of his fingers, right?

The gap … thinking about it makes them feel hopeless!

“The Seven-Star Study Palace has a long history. 1 came here to understand more about the Ling Domain.”

Xu Yan speaks.

This is his main purpose for coming to the Seven-Star Study Palace.

Meng Chong nods at the side.

The Gate of Lingyu has appeared. Eventually, one day, they will go to the Ling Domain.

With the increase in strength, they realise the Inner Domain is too small.

“You have to ask Old Pang about it. Some of the palace’s knowledge about the Ling Domain was erased. Only the line of martial artists scholars have passed on some by word of mouth.”

Bai Yun Kong shakes his head.

After pondering for a moment, he adds, “The purpose of the Seven-Star Study Palace was not spontaneously created. Although the founder of the palace came from a humble background, he acquired the opportunity of Ling Domain.

“Every secret passed down from each Palace Master, involves the founder going to the Ling Domain. Back in the day, every time the Gate of Lingyu opened, the Seven-Star Study Palace had a quota to enter the Ling Domain.

“But since the Demon Master’s incident, the Gate of Lingyu closed, unable to access the Ling Domain. There was also no quota.”

Having said this, Bai Yun Kong sighs. Since it is all already said, might as well tell the full story.

“The secret passed down by the Palace Master of the Seven-Star Study Palace implies that after a ten thousand years of demon hunting, the Gate of Lingyu will reopen again and give the Study Palace access to the Ling Domain.

“This is the core secret of the Seven-Star Study Palace. Besides me, no one else knows.”

Bai Yun Kong spoke solemnly.

“Is this true?”

Pang Yu looks surprised.

“It’s been almost ten thousand years since the demon hunting, right? Considering this, it’s incredible that the Demon Boys are still alive.”

Pang Yu marvels.

Those of the Demon Boys’ generation have all died of old age.

The past is buried as these people died.

“The Demon Master is truly extraordinary!”

Pang Yu sincerely marvels.

The long lives of the Demon Boys are undoubtedly tied to the Demon Master.

Otherwise, for a semi-divine being, it is impossible to live for ten thousand years under normal circumstances!

The Demon Master again!

Xu Yan and Meng Chong exchange looks, with some admiration in their hearts. The Demon Master is indeed extraordinary.

If it weren’t for Meng Chong’s unfortunate fate, the Demon Master might have risen again.

Xu Yan, who has seen the mural detailing the Demon Master’s life, knows that the Demon Master has risen and fallen more than once.

Every time he was defeated, he always rose again.

“The closing of the Gate of Lingyu and erasing the records, was probably to prevent the Demon Master.”

Xu Yan guesses in his heart.

Following up, Pang Yu also tells Xu Yan everything he knows about the Ling Domain.

“People from the Inner Domain have a hard time in the Ling Domain. It’s rumoured that unless you obtain the power of Ling Domain, you will become a slave once you enter.

“Even if you have the power, you can’t guarantee becoming one of them, becoming a disciple. You can still become a slave.

“The Ling Domain is very domineering!”

Pang Yu sighs and remarks, “The news of the Gate of Lingyu is spreading, and so many people want to enter the Ling Domain, but they don’t know that while they are revered in the Inner Domain, they will become slaves in the Ling Domain.”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were both silent. Ling Domain powerhouses act like this to martial artists of the Inner Domain.

Thinking of Jiao Ming’s arrogant attitude and statements like “you pigs and dogs,” Xu Yan is sure that Pang Yu’s words are true.

“Heh! These Ling Domain powerhouses are asking for a beating. Let’s see how arrogant they are when I enter the Ling Domain. I will trample these arrogant guys into the dust!”

Xu Yan said with a cold laugh.

As for the Ling Domain power that Pang Yu mentioned, it must be the Yu Ling.

The Seven-Star Study Palace used to have the Yu Ling and a quota. Xu Yan doesn’t know which force in the Ling Domain the Seven-Star Study Palace was connected to.

Even if they enter with the Yu Ling and become a disciple of the affiliated force, their treatment would still not be as good as that of the Ling Domain’s native disciples.

They might even face inequality and oppression. This is inevitable.

Bai Yun Kong and Pang Yu glance at each other. They don’t doubt Xu Yan’s words. If he enters the Ling Domain, those who want to make him a slave will truly be unlucky.

Xu Yan has now gained the power to kill a divine being.

How powerful will he be in a while?

“If we, the martial artists of the Inner Domain, want to hold our heads high, it’s all up to Xu Yan.”

An idea popped into both of their heads..
