Chapter 84 – Summon the Saints!


The wind rustled through the grass,

As the general drew his bow in the night.

At dawn, he searched for the white feather,

But it was lost among the sharp rocks.

This poem by Lu Lun tells the story of the Arrow Saint Li Guang. According to the “Records of the Grand Historian” on Holy Origin Mainland, Li Guang was hunting when he saw a stone in the grass and mistook it for a demon, shooting it with his arrow. The arrow penetrated the stone and Li Guang realized it was not a demon, but just a rock.

Like the War Saint Guan Yu, the Craft Saint Lu Ban, and the Music Saint Bo Ya, Li Guang was a member of the Empty Sage group on Holy Origin Mainland. Although not a True Saint like those in the Holy Temple, he was still a famous figure and had a temple dedicated to him.

The golden Saint Page, covered in nine layers of treasure light, soared into the sky and exploded into a burst of golden light. To the people of the human race like Fang Yun, it was only slightly brighter, but to the demon turtle, it was blindingly bright. Even though the demon turtle was only one step away from becoming a demon general with its fake dragon bloodline, its eyes still felt a piercing pain.

The golden light dissipated, revealing the giant shadow of a one-zhang-tall golden-armored general standing in mid-air. The general exuded an indescribable aura, and his towering figure inspired awe in the hearts of the people and struck fear into the demons. His eyes seemed to pierce through the world, his left hand held a war bow, and his right hand was poised to draw an arrow.

A funnel-shaped wind vortex appeared above the golden-armored general’s head, and a large amount of spiritual energy was sent into his body by the strong winds howling in the sky.

“Summon the Saints!” Many people shouted in unison, including the demon turtle, who yelled in its demon language, its eyes filled with fear.

As a fake dragon bloodline, the demon turtle had a deep understanding of human history. Whether summoning famous people, Empty Sages, or True Saints, this War Poetry would form a qualitative improvement in the strength of the summoned soul, making it more powerful than an ordinary poetry soul and approaching the strongest Saint soul.

Whether summoning a Saint or a Saint soul, they would collect one of the seven divine thoughts of “benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, loyalty, and courage” left by the sages in the world, thereby unleashing a powerful force.

On Holy Origin Mainland, Li Guang killed countless demons and made great contributions to the war effort. The “divine thought of courage” he left behind was not just his own strength, but also included the thousands of soldiers he once led, his famous reputation recorded in history books, and the gratitude of countless people for his demon-slaying achievements. If all these powers were summoned at the same time, it would be enough to confront a great demon.

“Run! This person is even more talented than me! Remember this person, and make sure to report him to the Dragon Palace Demon Realm! He will be the second Li Wenying, no, he is worth ten Li Wenying! If he does not die, then our demon race will perish!” The demon turtle shouted in its mind, collecting the fake dragon pearls in the sky and turning to flee.

“You can’t escape!” Fang Yun whispered, his gaze fixed on the corner of the demon turtle’s mouth, which was still dripping with the blood of his fellow students.

The Li Guang shadow flickered, the bow opened like a moon in autumn, and the arrow flew like a shooting star to the ground, illuminating the night sky for several miles like daylight. The demon turtle was so scared that it retreated into its shell, covering its body with a layer of blood-red light that drained all its blood energy.Everyone only saw a silver light trail left in the night sky. Afterwards, the tail of the demon turtle pierced by the silver light shot out from its mouth and deeply penetrated the ground, leaving a deep hole.

The demon turtle remained motionless, continuously emitting explosive sounds from inside its body. Blood gushed out, and the fake dragon ball it didn’t have time to retract fell to the ground.

Li Guang’s phantom looked down at everyone and finally looked at Fang Yun. His gaze was like an empty space.

Everyone was stunned. Although Li Guang was not a Semi-Saint, he had made great contributions to the human race as an Empty Sage. They carried the destiny of the human race. As long as the human race did not perish and history did not perish, the divine thoughts of such a great figure would always exist in the world.

Li Guang’s divine thought would usually disappear immediately even if summoned, but now it moved uncontrollably. This was the biggest affirmation for Fang Yun, clearly encouraging the younger generation and praising his killing intention towards demons, acknowledging his contribution to the human race.

Fang Yun slightly lowered his head in respect.

Li Guang’s phantom also nodded lightly, turning into countless light spots and scattering, returning to the world.

Fang Yun had overdrawn his talent and had been supported by his killing intention towards demons and his will to avenge his friends. Now that his wish was fulfilled, he blacked out and fell to the ground.

“Fang Yun!” Lu Yu next to him hurriedly supported him.

The presented scholars also came over to check on him.

“It’s just the exhaustion of talent, no big deal,” a general said.

However, Nunu suddenly jumped out of the crowd, ran quickly to the corpse of the demon turtle, picked up the fake dragon ball that was now only a quarter of its original size, and quickly returned to Fang Yun.

Everyone looked enviously at the fake dragon ball. This treasure was extremely rare. Although it was only a fake dragon ball at the level of a demon general, its value was close to that of the Grand Academician’s Treasures of Literature, and it could not be measured by gold or silver.

Those presented scholars looked at each other and then at the presented scholar who had carried Chen Xibi back. They hesitated, but in the end, they sighed. There was no doubt that only Fang Yun was qualified to receive this fake dragon ball at the scene, even if Li Wenying came, he couldn’t take it away.

Nunu carefully put the fake dragon ball on Fang Yun’s mouth, then slowly pressed it down with its small mouth, and at the same time made Fang Yun open his mouth with its claws. Finally, it stuffed the entire fake dragon ball into Fang Yun’s mouth.

Nunu carefully closed Fang Yun’s mouth and then stood up, scanning the crowd with a vigilant look, as if saying, “Be careful, don’t get close to Fang Yun!”

The dragon ball slowly melted in Fang Yun’s mouth and finally turned into a faint water flow that flowed into his stomach. A surging vitality formed inside him, constantly nourishing him.

An Chengcai looked at Fang Yun and said in a low voice, “He remained calm in a crisis and turned the tide, but he also didn’t spare himself. That’s what a true scholar is.” When he spoke, he held his dagger tighter.

Mr. Wang helplessly said, “Since he can even produce the Saint Pass on the day of his inauguration, I don’t need to hide it anymore. He also made a strong military poem this morning, to be precise, a strong bow poem. As you know, we cannot disclose this matter, otherwise the Demon Barbarians will spare no effort to kill him, and may even mobilize the great demons. But these two poems have a great effect and cannot be kept secret, so we can only use the old method.”

The presented scholar-general said, “Then we can only falsely claim that a Grand Academician successfully modified the war poetry he made during his talented scholar period into a Saint Pass.””Let’s find the Great Scholar. Even a Grand Academician has edited two poems in a row, I don’t believe it.”

“We have no other choice.”

“Fang Yun is amazing. He was able to summon the divine thought of the Arrow Saint. Otherwise, we would all have perished here. The fact that the monster turtle said it could go to the Dragon Platform shows that it has an unusual status in the Dragon Palace.”

“It’s just a mere monster general, but it’s so powerful. It must be a big shot in the Dragon Palace. We must not let the people of the Dragon Palace know that Fang Yun killed it, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to Fang Yun.”

“Before the Lord of the Court arrives, no one is allowed to leave or contact the outside world without permission. Those who violate the order will be executed!” said the adjutant.

“Yes!” everyone responded.

“Fang Yun is awake!”

Everyone hurriedly looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun slowly opened his eyes, feeling warm all over his body, without any fatigue. Although his talent was exhausted, the discomfort had disappeared.

“Yingying!” Nu Nu happily clapped her little paws.

“Fang Yun, thank you for saving us!” the adjutant said, bowing.

“Thank you for saving our lives!”

All the Presented Scholars, students, and teachers thanked him with clasped fists.

Fang Yun hurriedly said, “Please don’t say that. If it weren’t for you constantly consuming the monster turtle’s blood and shell, and if it weren’t for you arousing the power of the Blue Blood Danxin, my own talent would not have been able to support the completion of this poem.”

Fang Yun now understood that the biggest reason he was able to complete this War Poetry was the five-fold power of the “Blue Blood Danxin,” which was the power that five Presented Scholars had exchanged for with fifty years of life.

At this moment, a deep voice said, “I said I would protect you before, but I didn’t expect to be saved by you. I was careless and thought that the monster turtle was just an ordinary fake dragon bloodline. Now I realize that its father may be one of the famous big monsters in the Dragon Palace. I lost to it in a head-on battle and was defeated by its sneak attack. It’s not unjust.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

“General Chen is awake!”

His shoulder was already bandaged, and he was struggling to stand up, saying, “Let’s go and see that snake monster. County Magistrate He should have already entangled it. It doesn’t have a fake dragon bloodline, and the Great Scholar’s filthy writing a few days ago has probably consumed a lot of its blood. It’s difficult for it to use its power again. I still have the strength to fight, and it’s certain to die! Tell me on the way how Fang Yun killed the monster turtle.”

Everyone continued to walk towards the mountaintop, where one person and one monster were fighting. County Magistrate He had already reassembled the Lip Gun and Tongue Sword, but its power was far less than before. At the same time, he was reciting the War Poetry, tightly entangling the snake monster.

But An Chengcai kept walking with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.

They soon arrived at the mountaintop, and the snake monster began to fight desperately when it saw the human race. County Magistrate He gradually couldn’t hold on.

Several Presented Scholars recited the Fast Running Poetry and rushed forward to attack the snake monster.

As they got closer and closer to the monster snake, An Chengcai suddenly said to Fang Yun, “Fang Yun, come over here, I have something to tell you.”

Fang Yun nodded and walked over, slightly away from the others.

The little fox followed Fang Yun, with its black eyes turning and looking at An Chengcai’s chest.An Chengcai put away the dagger, took out a cloth bag from his chest, and handed it to Fang Yun. He whispered, “Keep this with you for now. If I’m fine, I’ll come back for it; if something happens to me, this belongs to you because only you are qualified to be its owner! Don’t ask what it is, and don’t let anyone else know. Once you enter the Holy Temple’s covered area, you’ll naturally find out.”

“This…”

Fang Yun wanted to decline, but the little fox suddenly jumped onto Fang Yun, grabbed the cloth bag, and stuffed it into Fang Yun’s chest. It even used extra force, as if to say, hurry up and hide it, this is good stuff!
