I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

The one who made a move!

The Great Master's expression was cold and steely, no longer filled with the regret and pity he felt earlier for Third Master Yang Huan.

He scanned around, accompanied by three golden rays forged from saints in the night sky, with their Vast Energy enveloping the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

Outside the Kyoto Academy, Li Qingzhou also unleashed his Sword Intent, examining the surroundings with him.

Moments later.

Neither found anything, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.

"Are you from the 'Extremely Pure Heaven'?"

"Hohoho... 'Pure Land of Bliss' Yue Li greets the Great Master. Unfortunately, I cannot meet with the Great Master at this time."

As the words fell, a crimson phantom rose to the sky from tens of thousands of miles north of the Kyoto Prefecture, gazing distantly at the Great Master and the three sages behind him.

The phantom was tall and dressed in black brocade, with a black cloak draped over its shoulders, but its face was eerily strange—covered in ridged wrinkled folds like tree bark.

Especially as it appeared from tens of thousands of miles away, its form shrouded the night sky, the face looked even more terrifying, like a demon.

Li Qingzhou gazed at the crimson phantom in the distant night sky, his brows furrowed in confusion: "From thousands of miles away... the Demon Court?"

The Great Master did not respond to him, carefully observing the crimson phantom as if to etch its appearance and form into his mind.

For a long while.

The Great Master's icy cold gaze returned to calm, bowing slightly to the northern phantom:

"For the 'Pure Land of Bliss' to remember for hundreds of years, it is indeed our Kyoto Academy's inadequate hospitality."

The three golden spectral figures of saints behind him also bowed, displaying the appearance of welcoming "friends from afar."

"Hoho... Next time we meet, I will definitely visit the Kyoto Academy for a drink."

The crimson phantom, who called himself Yue Li, curled its lips into a smile and extended a few fingers, saying:

"Won't keep the Great Master waiting too long!"

After speaking, Yue Li waved his hand, and three crimson rays shot from his palms, landing swiftly inside the Kyoto Prefecture.

Close to the Great Master and Li Qingzhou, just outside the Academy, stood a young Daoist from the Yuhua Immortal Sect and a monk with a blackened face in lama attire—none other than 'Extreme Pure Heaven's Zhou Guanwu and Earth Monk!

The two exchanged glances, neither expecting him to make a move at this moment, nor that Third Master within the Kyoto Academy would be slain by the Great Master in an instant.

"Everything's in chaos now, Brother Guanwu, you'll need to think about how to explain this to the 'General' later."

Zhou Guanwu ignored Earth Monk's Sound Transmission, his eyes coldly fixated on Heavenly Prison.

He only wanted to know who it was that killed Wang Yang, rendering his backup plan useless.

"I also wonder how 'Old Schemer' was exposed. Could it be that the Great Master detected when you used the Secret Technique to communicate just now?"

"Everything happened too quickly, before we could even get to the Dakong Temple, that 'Old Schemer' was dead, utterly useless," Earth Monk cursed.

"Shut up!" Zhou Guanwu coldly interrupted, his gaze landing on the crimson light upon him, saying with a sinister look:

"This won't be over just like that!"

And lastly, much to the slight surprise of the Great Master and Li Qingzhou's eyes, the crimson light fell inside the Duke Jingye Mansion, upon Chen Yuan who was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the phantom in the sky.

Chen Yuan's face changed slightly, his palm pressed on the WanJun Blade, but he did not make any counteraction.

Not far away, Zhou Tiance, also alerted by the sudden change at the Kyoto Academy, saw the red glow on Chen Yuan, his aged face filled with terror.

"Yuan Er..."

Even though his mind was controlled by the 'Demoness' Wen Renying, he still couldn't believe what he was seeing, indicating the immense turmoil in his heart.

Before anyone could speak, the three figures enveloped in crimson light vanished without a trace.

Looking again, the distant crimson phantom also dissipated.

Yet still, on its bark-like, aged face lingered a meaningful smile.

The Great Master frowned slightly on his somewhat aged face at the swift turn of events before him, collecting the Vast Energy around him to restrain the three saints in the sky.

Li Qingzhou came to his side, also frowning, his eyes looking toward the direction of the Duke Jingye Mansion.

"Three from 'Extreme Pure Heaven'... is that the Zhou Residence?"

"The new Duke Jingye, Chen Yuan!" The Great Master, knowing the Kyoto Prefecture better, had seen their faces with Vast Energy before the three figures were taken away.

"Didn't expect him to be one of 'Extreme Pure Heaven' as well!"

Chen Yuan... I wonder if Chen Yi knows about this...

Li Qingzhou's brows furrowed even more, as he followed Chen Yi's instructions to watch over Third Master Yang Huan with the Great Master, only for such events to unfold.

"The people of 'Extreme Pure Heaven' seem no longer intent on hiding, their schemes must be about to surface soon!"

After a moment of silence.

The Great Master, considerably calmer, looked at the Confucian scholars stirred around him, gesturing for them to disperse.

"Gentlemen, keep watch over the students. Once a conclusion is reached regarding this matter, the Academy will post a notice."

"Yes, Master!"

Although the numerous scholars of the Kyoto Academy bore complex expressions, after hearing the Great Master's words, they dared not slow down, hurrying to the various scholastic towers and the Book Storage Tower to reassure the students.

Not to mention the crimson phantom that later appeared at the Northern Demon Court, these scholars keenly witnessed how the Great Master cast Third Master Yang Huan into the mundane world.

That was an exceptionally talented Confucian saint practicing the three paths of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, yet he was stripped of all his cultivation by the Great Master's mere words—how terrifying!
