Chapter 252 Feint to the East, Attack in the West

Time passed, and the last drop of sand fell silently. Everyone's heart skipped a beat, but when they realized there was no explosion, they were completely relieved.

"This Chief Scholar Ye is truly a genius of the world. He actually managed to break this Poison Curse. We are truly ashamed."

The elderly doctor breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing some shame, and said...

After sensing that the poison in Xue Hanshu's body had completely disappeared, Ye Ru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then wiped away his sweat, smiled at the latter, and said softly:

"The poison has been neutralized, you're alright, you're alright."

"Really?"

Xue Hanshu's eyes widened in disbelief. This was something that even the elder physicians had failed to solve, yet it had actually been accomplished.

"Don't worry, you'll be fully recovered after a few more days of rest."

Ye Rudao.

At this moment, inside Yingtian Academy, three figures clad in black robes were leaping across the rooftops, with the leader occasionally glancing behind him.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something amiss, and his expression changed slightly:

"Damn it, the sensation of the Poisonous Curse has disappeared. It must be Ye Ru's doing. It seems the leader was right. This Ye Ru is indeed a genius."

"No way! This Poison Curse was created by the first patriarch, and he added many extremely poisonous substances. Ordinary medical books and doctors are completely helpless against it. How could it be so easily dispelled by a mere brat?"

Beside him, a scholar from a family of poisoners spoke in a deep voice.

"This person must have some powerful healing artifacts. It's a real shame that all our efforts were in vain."

Another person also shouted in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, our target isn't those people."

The leader of the Poison Family sneered and said.

shhhhhh!

At that moment, the people from the Punishment Hall rushed towards the three of them like lightning, eventually surrounding them completely.

"You three would better surrender quickly, lest I have to take action."

Zhan Lunhui raised his head, took two steps forward, and coldly addressed the three of them.

"So it's Lord Zhan! My apologies for not recognizing you. Did you really think these people could stop the three of us?"

The leader of the Poison Family smiled and said.

"Whether you can stop them or not is not up to you. Get them!"

Lord Zhan gently raised his hand, his eyes turning as cold as a blade. Finally, he swung his hand sharply, directly colliding with the three members of the Poison Clan.

While Zhan Lunhui and the others were fighting, Ye Ru's side had already completely dispersed.

"How on earth did these ghostly scholars manage to sneak in and evade three layers of detection, all just to tell us that the demon race is going to attack our Yanhuang Kingdom?"

In Grand Scholar Su's study, Grand Scholar Su paced back and forth, his brows furrowed as he spoke.

"It's not necessarily true. Perhaps they weren't ghost scholars when they entered, but became them after entering. Therefore, within this academy..."

At this point, Ye Ru's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he slowly raised his head, exclaiming in shock:

"There might be a ghost scholar in this academy!"

"You need to be careful, this ghostly scholar might be here to see you."

At this point, Scholar Su gave his instructions.

"Oops!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly left. At the same time, an anxious voice echoed out:

"Scholar Su, these wicked scholars are using a feint! Immediately close all the doors leading out of Yingtian Academy and don't let a single person leave!"

"What's going on? Mr. Yu, Mr. Ying, you need to catch up with him quickly."

Scholar Su was completely bewildered, and then quickly said...

"These guys have shown their true colors today, using Xue Hanshu's poison to hinder my progress and employing other information to create chaos. It must be a feint. If that's the case, then their ultimate target isn't any of you here, but rather..."

"Nursery rhymes and Little White!"

Thinking of this, Ye Ru quickly wrote the Swift Movement Poem, took a deep breath, and transformed into lightning, rushing towards his residence.

boom!

The door opened, revealing an empty room where no one was present. Ye Ru froze, then rushed towards the bedroom.

"Nursery rhyme! Little White!"

They found no one there, only a letter left on the table.

"shit!"

Ye Ru breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the letter:

"Three days later, in the Tibetan Forest."

"As expected, the demon scholar!"

Ye Ru crumpled the paper into a ball, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and finally slammed it on the table, shattering it instantly.

"Chief Ye, what's going on?"

At this moment, Zhan Lunhui and his group also rushed in with their men. When they sensed the powerful killing intent, they were also startled.

"The real target of these people is me."

Ye Ru lowered his head, his bangs obscuring his face. Although his voice was calm, everyone could feel the killing intent beneath that calm.

"As expected, we're still too late..."

Zhan Lunhui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then waved his hand, throwing the Poison Master Ghost Scholar, who was bound, into the room.

"Chief Ye, you are a man of great wisdom, but you didn't expect this to be a feint attack."

Blood trickled from the corner of the scholar's mouth as he glared menacingly at Ye Ru, then suddenly let out a chilling laugh.

"What have you done to Nursery Rhymes and Little White?"

Ye Ru raised his head and said coldly.

"Nothing much, just asking you to leave for a short while, but if you don't come after three days, then we will be separated by death..."

boom!

Before the ghostly scholar could finish speaking, Ye Ru struck him on the forehead with a palm.

"If you kill me, your literary reputation will truly be ruined!"

boom!

As soon as the ghost scholar finished speaking, Ye Ru's palm struck the ground beside him. The strong wind rang in the ghost scholar's ears, causing his mouth to twitch.

"A true man should know what to do and what not to do. Fame means nothing to nursery rhymes and children."

Ye Ru looked at the Ghost Scholar, then struck him with his palm again.

boom!

The talent surged into his head, instantly killing the ghost scholar.

The surrounding area was completely silent. Even Zhan Lunhui and the others couldn't help but feel a chill, and their gazes toward Ye Ru were filled with more apprehension.

After all, no one expected that this seemingly gentle young man would be so terrifying when he got angry.

"Phew, the most important thing now is to figure out how to save them."

Grand Scholar Su looked at the dead ghost scholar and then said to Ye Ru.

"Where is Zangmu Forest...?"

Ye Ru frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"It's not far from Yingtian Academy, and it seems these people haven't gone far either. In three days, I'll have the gentlemen accompany you."

Scholar Su pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Grand Scholar. But you should still be careful within Yingtian Academy."

Ye Ru continued, saying that he knew that if the Ghost Scholar still existed in Yingtian Academy, things would not be peaceful so easily.
