My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 28 A Bunch of Idiots

This sudden attack immediately drew everyone's attention.

Hegesius staggered a few times, then knelt on the ground, seizing the moment to resolve the strange sensation in his body.

He strained to look into the shadows, trying to figure out who had come to their aid.

But he couldn't see it; the toxins in his body blurred his vision.

But Hegeus couldn't see it; someone else could.

Edith stared in astonishment at the figure.

She exuded a strong aura of blood, half of her body was broken and shattered, and a large amount of blood flowed out. The ends of her black hair were dyed pale, and the blood on them was extremely glaring.

"Vichy Ellef?"

"How did she get here? Was that attack she launched?"

"To shatter most of Mansa's magical energy nodes with a single blow—how could a first-tier transcendent possess such power?"

Edith was filled with doubt and surprise. She had never heard of such a thing before; it was simply outrageous.

But she simply didn't have time to go see Vichy right now.

She turned to look at the shadowy priest before her, her eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

She would never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Damn it..."

Mansa was both shocked and furious. She never expected that there was such a hidden mastermind nearby!

Who is that person?

Are they henchmen of the law?

No, that's not right. That person is clearly a vampire.

The only one capable of severely injuring her is a fourth-tier mage, and a vampire at that.

I know who it is, that treacherous bastard!

Mansa was furious, but the most important thing right now was to deal with Edith.

The other person, carrying a cold glint in their hand, walked towards him.

The meaning is self-evident.

"Everyone, let go of the reins, we're retreating!"

A surge of inner energy resonated among all the monsters, and all the Shadow Children unleashed the same spell simultaneously—End of the Road.

Stimulated by the magic, all the monsters let out sharp howls and charged at the knights like madmen.

This pained Mansa greatly, because once the End of the World's fury was unleashed, these monsters would no longer be under their control.

The strength accumulated over ten years was instantly reduced by half.

However, the effect of the release was quite significant; the rampaging monsters immediately intercepted Edith, who was wreaking havoc, allowing her to escape.

With such chaos, the entire Green Valley Underground City was thrown into disarray, leaving behind only rivers of blood and countless people wailing and crying out in agony.

Their blood is slowly seeping into the deepest part of the underground city.

......

at the same time.

Vichy sensed a somewhat frightening atmosphere.

Although the teacher didn't say anything, Vichy could still sense that the atmosphere was heavy.

Having known her teacher for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen Shi Qing like this.

"teacher......."

Shi Qing didn't say anything, he just kept pressing her into the medicinal bath and putting all the various medicinal herbs he had collected over the past few days into it.

"sorry."

Shi Qing put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and turned to look at Wei Xi.

"sorry?"

"You son of a bitch! You idiots, don't you even know what it means to know your limits?!"

"Natural disasters and man-made calamities—can you Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators withstand them?!"

"If you want to uphold justice, can't you use your brain for once?!"

Suddenly, Shi Qing uttered foul language, and the entire room echoed with the curses of this Nascent Soul cultivator.

The camp trembled, and distant boulders were instantly pulverized by his smash.

"Don't you understand the importance of keeping a low profile and biding your time?"

"You think you can solve problems that others can't?"

Vichy didn't speak, but silently lowered his head, soaking in the medicinal bath, curled up like a kitten that had just made a mistake.

After a long while, Shi Qing's voice finally subsided, and after he had vented his anger, Vixi began to make a buzzing sound.

"Teacher, I'm so sorry."

"...Where did I go wrong?"

"I shouldn't have forced you to use your powers and overload your punches to create opportunities for them."

"so?"

"Next time, I'm definitely going to beat them to a pulp myself!"

Shi Qing smiled.

He was so angry he laughed.

Why the hell is my apprentice so stubborn and headstrong?

Is this a matter of whether or not I put it on myself?

"You, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, dare to challenge a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"Do you think you're some kind of scion of a powerful family? It takes time for talent to come to fruition!"

"Also, you overworked yourself this time. If I hadn't been pushing your body, you would have died long ago."

"So, you'll have to stay in bed for at least a week. Do you expect a next time?"

Upon hearing this, Vichy blushed slightly and simply remained soaking in the medicinal bath, too ashamed to show her face.

Seeing Vixi's state, Shi Qing could only sigh in the end, feeling utterly exhausted.

Is it really that difficult to take on an apprentice?

I wasn't this mischievous when I was an apprentice!

Oh no, he even had to worry about his master and secretly maneuver around him.

"teacher......"

"Um?"

Why did you say "you all"?

Shi Qing was silent for a moment: "You and your master are just like each other."

"Master?"

"It's the teacher's teacher."

Shi Qing stood aside, piled the charcoal fire up a bit, and lowered his voice, as if lost in a long-forgotten memory.

"Your grandmaster is a rogue cultivator, but he is also a true righteous cultivator. Just like you, he is full of thoughts about acting on behalf of Heaven."

But acting on behalf of Heaven is not such an easy thing.

You may have killed corrupt officials on behalf of the people, but the imperial court will not recognize it and will send more skilled officers to arrest you.

Even if you defeat those masters, the immortal sects behind them will step in to maintain 'order'.

"They beat up the young one, then the old one comes; it never ends."

The charcoal fire in front of him burned even brighter. It was the first time Vixi had seen Shi Qing like this, and he was lost in deep memories.

"Then, where is Master?"

"he?"

Shi Qing said, as if mocking, yet also self-deprecatingly: "He died, he died in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He caused too much trouble and killed the emperor."

Those righteous sects lost face and sent a Golden Core elder, who ended up dying a gruesome death; I couldn't even collect his body.

After a long silence, Shi Qing looked at Wei Xi.

"I don't object to you acting on behalf of Heaven; everyone has their own ideals and pursuits."

"But you should know the principle of acting within your capabilities; those who are chivalrous usually don't end up well."

"If you die, will there really be more people like you who will stand up for justice?"

Vichy lay beside the bathtub, lost in thought.

She suddenly spoke up: "But, a belated rescue is not a rescue at all."

"Sister Pavit probably wasn't thinking about any of this when she pulled me out of the fire."

"Teacher, what will Master Shi do?"

Shi Qing wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

Yes, what will the teacher do?

He already knew the answer.

During that heavy rain, the middle-aged man carried himself out of the mud, fought the enemy with a broken sword, and was seriously injured. In the end, he had to find medicine to treat him himself.

"He will take action."

Even if the enemy is very strong?

Even if the enemy is very strong.

Vichy smiled; he already knew the answer in his heart.
