Ye Changge, the Master of Zhang Family!

"This is my fault. Let me make it up to you."

The old scholar sitting by the lake stood up and said, "The Heavenly Dao Academy has been passed down for thousands of years. Our strength has not lain stagnant. If anything, our connections are even more powerful."

Facing the woman, the old scholar continued, "I will send someone to send him a sincere invitation to the academy and become the head of our academy's younger generation. Is that okay?"

"You want him to become the leader of the Academy?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.

Nodding, the old scholar replied, "Based on his current performance, he is worthy of this identity."

"Even in the past, he had been able to suppress the holy sons and saintesses. Now he has grown even stronger. If he returns, he will probably become the strongest leader of our academy yet."

The woman was full of confidence in Li Shiyi.

"In that case, I will go and prepare." the old scholar said as he walked outside.

"Remember to set better conditions! Don't be stingy!"

For some reason, the woman who had a bad premonition added.

A few days later, Li Shiyi, who had returned to Faya City again, observed this familiar city.

"Father, it seems that Faya City has become much colder."

"Of course," Li Yi, the head of the Li family, replied. "Many people feel that the Hidden Edge Sect is being targeted by the Holy Land. The best outcome would be heavy losses on their end."

"The destruction caused by the duel between top-tier experts is catastrophic. Many are afraid of being caught in the crossfire and have already fled."

"Moreover, Faya city is so prosperous because the Hidden Edge Sect is nearby to maintain order. If the Hidden Edge Sect falls, this place will be in chaos and business will be difficult to do."

After thinking carefully, Li Shiyi's eyes lit up. "Father, if that's the case, this is a good thing. Now that the city has a large empty space, the Li family can expand their sphere of influence."

"Nonsense, I've already made my move long ago. I even joined forces with your junior sister's family."

Li Shiyi smiled at the smug Li Yi and skillfully responded to him.

Ever since Li Yi helped him find Ye Changge and asked him to become a disciple of the Hidden Edge Sect, Li Shiyi's relationship with his father had greatly improved.

After the visit, Li Shiyi left the city and went to the Hidden Edge Sect.

As he flew on his sword, he suddenly found a man wearing a square headscarf and a scholar's robe in front of him.

Li Shiyi frowned and recognized the man.

It was a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy, Fang Xiao. He was the son of the previous headmaster of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

From the looks of it, the man had obviously been waiting for him.

As expected, Fang Xiao flew straight towards him.

"Li Shiyi, I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

"I knew this guy wouldn't be able to speak the languages of men and beat around the bush." Li Shiyi, who hated the man very much, couldn't be bothered to stop and flew back around him.

Fang Xiao had been waiting for a reply. He froze. Then, he flew into a rage and shouted, "Li Shiyi!"

Although this guy had a lot of treasures, his abilities were far too lacking. He couldn't even catch up with him if he ran away.

With this thought in mind, Li Gaishi ignored him and sped up to fly back.

Suddenly, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. A warning sign appeared. Li Gaishi rushed forward and spun around to use his sword to block.

Peng!

The sound of a collision rang out. Li Shiyi managed to fend off Fang Xiao's attack.

Li Shiyi came to a stop. Fang Xiao's voice sounded, "Humph, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness. I'm here on behalf of the Heaven's Path Academy, and I want you to return. Furthermore, your dog sh*t luck has arrived..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish his words, Li Shiyi wielded his frost sword and condensed his sword Qi before striking.

The sword Qi did not reach Fang Xiao's body but was blocked by the pale yellow light barrier that appeared in front of him.

A violent explosion sounded.

The attack did not take effect. Li Shiyi's sword did not stop and streaks of sword Qi shot out rapidly.

"Stop! I am representing the Heavenly Dao Academy! It was Mr. Lin who sent me here! Do you hear me?! Stop!"

Realizing that Li Shiyi's attack was only increasing in speed and that he had no way to fight back at all. Only his own magic treasures were automatically activated to protect him, Fang Xiao began to panic.

Li Shiyi had a calm expression. He realized that his opponent had too many dharma treasures. They were too strong and the sword aura was not very effective.

With the long sword in his hand, Green Sword lotuses appeared. Li Shiyi dashed forth and slashed at Fang Xiao.

The Aura was razor-sharp and a biting cold air spread out.

Sword intent!

Fang Xiao panicked! He was really afraid.

As the son of the head of the front yard of the Heavenly Dao Academy, his father was now a powerful elder of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

His status was of high nobility, and very few people dared to provoke him.

Li Shiyi was the abandoned son of the academy. He had gotten lucky and was once again valued by the academy. He even had the chance to become the Head of the academy. Of course, Fang Xiao would remain unconvinced.

He had originally planned to show Li Shiyi his might, but this fellow had directly ignored him. In his anger, he had intercepted the other party, but in return, he had received such a fierce attack.

Fang Xiao sensed the aura of death and watched as he was continuously sent flying. Now, the other party had actually used sword intent and finally crushed the jade token his father had left him.

A white light flashed and Fang Xiao was covered by a protective barrier. The jade fragment floated in the air and a middle-aged man's shadow appeared.

A violent collision sound rang out from the light barrier as Fang Xiao was sent flying far away.

The middle-aged man looked surprised as if he didn't expect his son to suffer such a powerful attack.

Fortunately, he was carrying his life-saving jade token. Otherwise, Fang Xiao would have been beheaded.

After protecting Fang Xiao, the middle-aged man looked at Li Jieyi who had stopped and said, "Li Jieyi, I'm Fang Yuru! You should know me."

"And?"

As if he didn't expect Li Shiyi to be so rude, Fang yuru frowned and said, "Xiao'er was ordered by Mr. Lin to come and find you. He announced that you would return to the Heavenly Dao Academy and become the head of this year's student body."

"Why did you attack him like that?"

Li Shiyi shook his head and said, "It's still the same old routine. Don't you know what kind of idiot your stupid son is? You're asking me?"

Upon being ridiculed again, Fang Yuru's temper rose. "What? Li Shiyi unlocked the five elements suppression technique and comprehended sword intent. Are you so arrogant? Don't you think highly of me?"

"It's not that I don't think highly of you."

The other party was bossy and arrogant. He came here and was questioning him. Moreover, Fang Xiao had attacked him, so Li Shiyi did not intend to take this matter lightly.

"It's you. I don't even care about Your Heavenly Dao Academy."

Fang Yuru had calmed down a little after hearing the first sentence. However, he was filled with vigor when he heard this.

"Hehe, it seems like joining this so-called Hidden Edge Sect has caused you to lose your mind and highly overrate yourself."

"The Myriad Swords Sect and the myriad elephant sect are currently preparing for action. It Won't be long before they send out their experts. The Hidden Edge sect will definitely pay the price."

"They can't protect themselves now. They can't help you at all. Where did you get such arrogance from?"

Thinking that the other party was someone that Mr. Lin and the other two decision-makers valued and wanted to bring back the academy, Fang Yuru softened his tone.

"Now, all the gentlemen are willing to let you come back and give you the chance to become the head of the Academy."

"Xiao'er also has many of the Academy's Heavenly Treasures. As long as you agree, the treasures will all be yours."

"Our Heavenly Dao Academy has a long history. The support we can give you is not even comparable to an ordinary sacred place. You are a talent, you should be sensible."

As the other party laughed in a self-righteous tone, Li Shiyi shook his head.

"The Heavenly Dao Academy's role is to watch the other party meddle in the Academy's rules while the students are suppressed by the Holy Land?"

"The Heavenly Dao Academy, the Myriad Swords Gate, the Wan Xiang Gate, and the Ten Pinnacle Sword Sect? What are they all in the grand scale of things?"

"My teacher, Ye Changge! The Old Devil and the Clown. They stood together, yet they couldn't even withstand a single blow. It was a landslide victory!"
