Peerless Taoist

Tian Boyan sneered. "Hehe, Cheng Daru is really generous. I heard that your Cheng Family is a famous wealthy family in the Imperial Capital. Naturally, you don't lack this money."    

This mockery naturally attracted the cold gazes of all the Confucians.    

However, Tian Boyan knew that he wouldn't be able to stay in the Jade Cauldron Academy for long. In any case, he would be heading to the Imperial Army in the end, so he might as well not have any scruples.    

Cheng Jin knew that Tian Boyan was mocking him, so how could he tolerate this sort of anger? Thus, he prepared to leave with a flick of his sleeve.    

However, at this moment, a waiter suddenly rushed in with a panicked expression on his face.    

"Not good, not good!"    

As the attendant ran, he shouted as he bumped into the surrounding disciples.    

"What's going on, calm down!" Tian Boyan shouted.    

The attendant shuddered and hurriedly said with a trembling voice, "Lu shi's soul flame... has been extinguished."    

What!?    

Everyone's gaze gathered on the scene.    

"Who are you talking about?" Cheng Jin dashed forward and asked in a deep voice.    

The attendant hurriedly said with a trembling voice, "It's a high-level disciple, Lu Yu!"    

Everyone was terrified.    

How could it be Lu Yu?    

Before entering the Blood God Inferno Hell, many people speculated who would get the highest score. Some even compared Lu Yu and Northern Underworld Han to bet who would get the highest score.    

No one thought that Lu Yu would die in the Blood God Inferno Hell.    

If Lu Yu could easily retreat in the secret realm of the Divine Land, then the Blood God Inferno Hell wouldn't be a problem either.    

No one could bear the sudden emergence of this news.    

"Quick, I'll go and take a look!"    

Many great Confucians could no longer sit still and quickly headed towards the land of soul fires.    

When they went over to take a look, they indeed found that the soul fire with Lu Yu's name on it had been completely extinguished.    

When the soul fire was extinguished, it meant that they could no longer sense Lu Yu's aura. It was 80% certain that Lu Yu was already dead.    

Everyone was in a trance.    

Just today, Lu Yu was still an invincible existence. Almost no disciple in the academy was his match.    

Many Confucians had already decided that he would be the chief disciple. Even Tian Boyan agreed to this suggestion.    

As long as Lu Yu came out of the Blood God Purgatory and obtained good results, he would be able to bring all the Jade Cauldron Academy disciples to participate in the Imperial Examinations.    

However, there was no hope at all.    

Lu Yu actually died, died in this kind of place!    

Cheng Jin said in a deep voice, "Absolutely impossible! Lu Yu definitely isn't dead. It's very likely that he was in some corner of Blood God Purgatory and wasn't detected by the soul fire."    

The other Confucians also responded.    

They knew very well Lu Yu's identity.    

If the disciple of a saint died in Blood God Purgatory, it would be a huge joke.    

"I'll go and find him myself!" Cheng Jin said and walked towards the transmission array.    

The other major Confucians also immediately set off, not hesitating at all.    

Regardless of whether Lu Yu was dead or alive, as the disciples of the saints, they had to give the saints an explanation.    

Many of the surrounding disciples were also summoned. They planned to follow the Confucians into the teleportation formation to find Lu Yu's whereabouts.    

"All of you stop right there!"    

At this moment, Tian Boyan jumped out.    

He looked around with the dignity of a deputy dean and said in a deep voice, "Without my order, no one is allowed to enter Blood God Purgatory without permission. Right now, we are conducting tests on the disciples to select the spots for the Trial. Are you going to cause trouble if you go down there!?"
