Chapter 758: Goodbye (1)

Hearing the Dean's words, Wu Yifan was momentarily stunned, but he quickly reacted and shook his head, saying, "The academy has nurtured me; I will not leave the academy."

Hearing this, Dean Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then took out the token that the Lord of Forbidden had given him and placed it in Wu Yifan's hand.

"This token is a treasure that I, this Dean, exchanged from the World Master. With this token, no one in the vast Forbidden Realm can do anything to you, except for those in the position of World Master."

Hearing Dean Gu Yuan's words, Wu Yifan was first stunned, but he quickly and solemnly refused, saying, "Dean, this is far too precious; I absolutely cannot accept it."

Wu Yifan knew that this item was far too valuable. If he were to accept it, it would be equivalent to owing a significant amount of Karma, which he would have to repay in the future.

But Dean Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, "If I tell you to take it, then take it. This item was specifically exchanged from the World Master for you. I have no use for it, so just take it."

"This… very well. Thank you, Dean. I will not forget your kindness."

Wu Yifan sighed and eventually accepted it out of necessity.

He simply noted this kindness in his heart. After all, only the Lord of Forbidden had acted against their Divine Realm; the others were unaware, so he naturally could not spread the hatred to everyone.

After accepting the token, Wu Yifan remembered that he needed to leave the academy temporarily, so he looked at the Dean with a serious expression and said, "Dean, your Disciple has one more thing to say."

Soon, Wu Yifan explained his intention to go out, though he did not state the purpose of his journey.

Hearing this, Dean Gu Yuan's expression immediately became solemn, and he sighed, asking, "Is it absolutely necessary for you to go?"

"Dean, you also know that I cannot stay in the academy forever."

Wu Yifan spoke in a serious tone.

Seeing this, Dean Gu Yuan knew he could not persuade Wu Yifan otherwise. Moreover, with the token bestowed by the World Master, he presumed that Beast Taming and the others would not dare to defy the World Master's will by acting against Huang Yuan, so he nodded and agreed.

"Do you need me to arrange for an Elder to protect you in secret?"

As Wu Yifan was about to leave, Dean Gu Yuan called out to ask.

But Wu Yifan shook his head. "There's no need, Dean. I have now reached Level Fifteen Perfection, and with my mastery of the Forbidden Domain, even those at Level Sixteen might not be my match. Plus, with the token bestowed by the World Master, who would dare to move against me?"

Dean Gu Yuan felt this made sense upon hearing it, so he simply let Wu Yifan go on his way.

The moment after Wu Yifan left Gu Yuan Academy, the news reached the Three Great Powers: the Beast Taming Sect, the Extreme Town Sect, and Mount Tianyin. Clearly, even after five thousand years, they still could not forget how Wu Yifan had slaughtered the Prodigy Disciples within their forces.

Thus, shortly after Wu Yifan left Gu Yuan Academy, the leaders of the Three Great Powers gathered together with no other purpose than to deal with Wu Yifan.

"Now that Huang Yuan has left Gu Yuan Academy, it is a perfect opportunity."

The Master of Tianyin Mountain had a sinister look in his eyes, his voice filled with killing intent for Wu Yifan as he spoke.

The Sect Leader of Beast Taming Sect and the Sect Leader of Extreme Town Sect both nodded. Then, the Sect Leader of Beast Taming Sect spoke in a heavy tone, "Killing a mere Huang Yuan is simple enough, but the problem lies with the Gu Yuan Academy behind him. That fellow Gu Yuan is extremely protective of his own; if Huang Yuan is killed, who knows what kind of madness he will descend into."

"Hmph, so what? He should have known the outcome from the beginning. Who told them to stop us from saving our own Disciples?"

There was not a trace of fear in the Master of Tianyin Mountain's voice. After all, their strengths were all similar; if it came to a fight, they were not afraid of Gu Yuan Academy at all, let alone now that the Three Great Powers were joining forces—they were even less afraid.

But just then, the Sect Leader of Extreme Town Sect spoke up. "Gu Yuan would certainly have thought of the things we can think of. He must have sent experts to protect Huang Yuan in secret, or perhaps it is Gu Yuan himself protecting Huang Yuan. In that case, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Gu Yuan is only one person, but there are three of us. If the three of us strike together, Fellow Daoist Beast Taming and I will stall Gu Yuan, and you, Fellow Daoist Extreme Town, only need to take action and eliminate Huang Yuan. Once done, we will leave; Gu Yuan won't be able to stop us. I don't believe the World Master would punish us for a mere Huang Yuan afterward."

The Master of Tianyin Mountain said sinisterly, clearly already fantasizing about the moment they successfully dealt with Huang Yuan and reclaimed the dignity their Mount Tianyin had lost.

Seeing this, the Sect Leader of Extreme Town Sect said no more, and the Sect Leader of Beast Taming Sect also nodded in agreement.

Soon, the leaders of the Three Great Powers decided to act immediately and pursued the direction Huang Yuan had taken. Although Wu Yifan had now broken through to Level Fifteen Perfection, he was still someone who could be killed instantly before three Eighteen-level Perfection experts. Had it not been for the World Master's token, he likely would have truly died at the hands of the leaders of the Three Great Powers.

The leaders of the Three Great Powers never expected that Dean Gu Yuan would be so desperate for Wu Yifan's sake that he would give up half of his Origin power to obtain a token from the Lord of Forbidden. If they had known, they likely would not have had the courage to move against Wu Yifan.

On the other side, after leaving Gu Yuan Academy, Wu Yifan headed toward the location provided by Wu Yidao.

After traveling for a full day, Wu Yifan finally arrived at the place Wu Yidao had marked, but he did not see Wu Yidao's figure.

"Where did Yi Dao go?"

Wu Yifan's brow furrowed slightly as a faint sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart for some reason.

But just then, a voice came from not far away: "Brother! I missed you so much!"

In the next moment, Wu Yidao was seen rushing over from a distance, giving Wu Yifan a big bear hug.

Wu Yifan also thoroughly enjoyed it. After a while, he released Wu Yidao and, sensing Wu Yidao's cultivation, spoke with praise, "You're doing well, kid; you've reached Level Twelve so quickly."

Hearing Wu Yifan's words, Wu Yidao fell silent, simply because he sensed a fathomless and terrifying aura within Wu Yifan's body. It was definitely not just Thirteen-level; he estimated it was already Level Fourteen.

Wu Yidao had originally thought that by Cultivating so strenuously, he could become the number one person among the Wu Family's peers, but he never expected to be left so far behind by his Brother.

However, Wu Yidao didn't dare to imagine that Wu Yifan had already broken through to Level Fifteen. If Wu Yifan had indeed reached Level Fifteen, he would start to wonder if they were even of the same species.
