My Pretty Campus Queen

In the Forbidden Land of the Assassin Group.

Fang Yan used the infusion method to forcibly pass all his skills to Wu Guangzu. At this moment, he collapsed to the ground with a "thud," his hair instantly turning white, his entire body aging by decades, and his whole being appearing decrepit and intimidating.

Wu Guangzu felt like his body was on the verge of exploding, yet he couldn’t move. Watching his master barely clinging to life beside him, he endured the pain and shouted out loud, "Ah....."

A gust of wind blew around him as his entire body turned crimson, his face resembling a boiled lobster. Suddenly, with a "boom," Wu Guangzu broke through the blocked meridian gates.

He felt unbearably hot, with a powerful Qi fluctuating inside him. His heart felt like it was being sliced, and his body like it was burning. He leaped and crashed around the cave until, with a huge crash, he fell from the air.

Ru Nian quickly ran over, leaped into the air, and caught Wu Guangzu, spinning around several times on the ground before stabilizing.

"Senior Brother Wu, how are you?" Ru Nian asked with concern.

"Cough, cough, cough...."

After a bout of coughing, Wu Guangzu caught his breath, "Phew, I’m fine now. Earlier, it was just too unbearable; I couldn’t hold it in...."

Wu Guangzu didn’t say more but immediately feared, with a strong effort, zooming to Fang Yan’s side, astonished at his newfound, frightening speed.

"Master Fang Yan."

Wu Guangzu embraced Fang Yan, tears welling up, unable to find the words to express his feelings, as if he had lost a father.

"Shh, Guangzu, no, no, don’t be sad, Master Fang Yan is very happy, that’s enough." Fang Yan gasped out these words, and then his eyes slowly closed, and he passed away.

"Master Fang, Master!"

"Master Fang...."

Amid the cries, all the disciples kneeled together, honoring the glorious senior, who took the world as his responsibility.

After a long while, Wu Guangzu dried his tears, holding Fang Yan, he walked step by step towards the statue from before. He considered Fang Yan a saint in his heart, so he decided to place him alongside his grandmaster Hongqi, so they could be companions.

Earlier, he had noticed a stone chamber behind the statue, suspecting it to be where the spirit tablets rested. So, carrying Fang Yan, he walked into the stone chamber and pushed with force, indeed, the stone door opened, revealing a massive spirit casket.

At this moment, Ru Nian and a group of people also followed, surprised by the scene they saw inside, they followed Wu Guangzu inside.

Carrying his master in grief, Wu Guangzu walked to the spirit casket, and clumsily pushed open the stone slab on top. Inside was indeed the corpse of his grandmaster Hongqi, though now it was a pile of white bones, with plenty of space left beside.

Wu Guangzu slowly placed Fang Yan inside, then let go, suddenly touching something hard that was originally in the casket, he curiously picked it up and looked at it, which read: "Manual for activating the Blood Shadow Saber."

Wu Guangzu casually took it and covered the casket, then looked at the bamboo scroll in his hand. Everyone was very curious about the item in Wu Guangzu’s hand, and as he came down, Ru Nian and Gu Yuxin gathered around.

"What’s this, Third Senior Brother?" Ru Nian asked curiously.

"It says here it’s a method for activating the Blood Shadow Saber, probably outlining the steps needed to activate it, don’t you think?" Actually, Wu Guangzu wasn’t sure, having only briefly read the introduction, but there’s a long passage afterward he hadn’t read.

"The Blood Shadow Saber, wasn’t that Master Fang’s weapon when he was alive?"

"Yes."

"Wow, I didn’t expect the master’s treasured saber hasn’t been activated yet. If it were activated, that wretched Kuang Chenggong would definitely die with no place to be buried."

At this, Ru Nian was angry but suddenly felt the atmosphere was off, immediately realizing he had brought up a painful subject, hastily saying, "Senior Brother, let’s quickly see what’s below."

Wu Guangzu unfolded the bamboo scroll and began to read it earnestly.

The method to activate the Blood Shadow Saber is complex, yet once activated, it is immensely powerful, capable of causing continuous bleeding until death.

The activation method requires forging with the True Fire for forty-nine days and must be stained with the blood of eighty-one people to automatically activate.

Wu Guangzu frowned at this, thinking, "No wonder Master never activated this saber; the method is so wicked, full of bloodshed."

With this thought, Wu Guangzu sighed deeply, thinking it’s better to leave it. He couldn’t bring himself to stain it with blood, unless it was the blood of enemies.

"Third Senior Brother, how’s it? What does it say?"

Ru Nian hoped for the Blood Shadow Saber’s activation soon, so that his third senior brother could avenge their master.

"Ah, Ru Nian Junior Brother, it seems we’ll have to put the activation matter to rest for now."

Saying this, Wu Guangzu handed over the bamboo scroll.

Ru Nian took the bamboo scroll, looked at it for a while, and shook his head, clearly understanding it.

"Alright."

After reading it, Ru Nian sighed too, but to comfort Wu Guangzu, he said, "Senior Brother, don’t be discouraged. You’ve gained the true teachings of the master. With some time you’ll be able to thoroughly understand it and can kill that dog thief Kuang Chenggong just as well."

"Hmm, okay."

Wu Guangzu looked at Ru Nian’s confidence in him, nodding with understanding.

Wu Guangzu walked a few steps, examining the surroundings to see if there were any other exits. After all, returning the same way might lead them right into Kuang Chenggong’s capture.

But they had already spent a day here, and staying without food or water was not a solution either.

"Everyone look around to see if there is another way out."

"Okay, Third Senior Brother." They all answered in unison.

So, everyone started spreading out to search for an exit. Gu Yuxin observed the surroundings, knowing the family usually set up mechanisms in hidden, inconspicuous places, so she searched for places like that.

However, after searching for a long time and finding nothing, she grew discouraged and sat down on a large stone, lifting her leg to pound her calf with her hands.

Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a torch, noticing it was slightly different from the others, the flame appeared more vigorous, and the base was a long tubular cup.

So, she leaped up, swiftly stepping onto the cave wall, and pressed her body against the wall, grabbing the long tubular cup with her hand, and tried turning it to the left.

However, nothing seemed to happen, so after thinking for a moment, she prepared to turn it to the right. At this point, the people below were puzzledly watching Gu Yuxin on the wall, unsure of what she intended to do.

At that moment, they heard a "clank," and behind them, to the left of the grandmaster’s statue, a door about two meters high and one meter wide suddenly appeared on the cave wall.
