"What grudge did Tang Yang have with the Ancient Demon Race?" Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
As someone from the Xuanhuang Star Domain, yet entering the Tianxuan Continent to lead the continent's martial artists in battle against the Ancient Demon Race army, Ye Yunfei had long guessed there must be another reason behind this.
"Have you heard of the Tang Clan?" Vice Principal Meng asked.
"I have," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Da Di Daozhang had once mentioned to Ye Yunfei that back in the day, the Northern Wastes Domain had five major powers: the Two Sages, the Two Clans, and One Academy.
The Two Clans referred to the Li Clan and the Tang Clan.
However, later, the powerful Tang Clan was annihilated overnight.
"When the Tang Clan was suddenly wiped out that year, the Ancient Demon Race was most likely one of the perpetrators," Vice Principal Meng said.
"So that's how it was!" Ye Yunfei exclaimed in realization.
"After the Tang Clan was destroyed, Tang Yang, filled with grief and indignation, vowed to track down the culprits and exact vengeance.
However, his enemies were too powerful—they could even destroy the entire Tang Clan. Tang Yang was alone and too weak, so how could revenge be easy?
Later, he was suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious experts and suffered severe injuries. By the time I received the news and rushed over, he had already disappeared.
After that, I heard news of him appearing in the Tianxuan Continent.
For all these years, I have never seen him again, nor have I received any news of him." Vice Principal Meng sighed.
"Why did the Ancient Demon Race want to destroy the Tang Clan?" Ye Yunfei asked again.
"Because of the Heavenly Dao Tower," Vice Principal Meng replied.
"The Xuanhuang Star Domain's number one treasure, the Heavenly Dao Tower?!" Ye Yunfei was astonished upon hearing this.
He already knew about the Heavenly Dao Tower from his time in the Tianxuan Continent.
"Correct.
Back then, Zhen Xuanzi suddenly obtained the Heavenly Dao Tower, causing countless powerful experts in the Xuanhuang Star Domain to pursue him frantically.
Later, Zhen Xuanzi disappeared without a trace.
The Heavenly Dao Tower was too alluring; the powerful experts of the Xuanhuang Star Domain refused to give up. They still used all their resources to search everywhere for Zhen Xuanzi's whereabouts.
Zhen Xuanzi was once a close friend of a Supreme Elder from the Tang Clan.
Moreover, after Zhen Xuanzi obtained the Heavenly Dao Tower, he had brief contact with that Tang Clan Supreme Elder.
Therefore, many experts suspected that the Tang Clan's Supreme Elder knew Zhen Xuanzi's whereabouts. Some even believed Zhen Xuanzi was most likely hiding within the Tang Clan itself.
In the end, this led to the Tang Clan's destruction." Vice Principal Meng explained.
"After the Tang Clan was annihilated, those experts turned their sights on Tang Yang.
They believed that as the eldest young master of the Tang Clan, Tang Yang must know some inside information.
So, they began to hunt him down." Vice Principal Meng continued.
"So it seems, everything is because of the Heavenly Dao Tower," Ye Yunfei sighed.
"Too many people have died because of the Heavenly Dao Tower," Vice Principal Meng also sighed.
"Do you think Tang Yang is still alive?" Vice Principal Meng suddenly asked.
"I don't know.
I want to find out, too." Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"Your identity has been exposed. The Ancient Demon Race and the Tianji Sect will definitely go all out to deal with you.
You can continue to stay in the Heavenly Dao Academy." Vice Principal Meng said.
"My reason for coming to the Heavenly Dao Academy was actually to obtain a qualification to enter the Godfall Land." Ye Yunfei said.
"You want to enter the Godfall Land?" Vice Principal Meng was taken aback.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"As long as you continue staying in the Heavenly Dao Academy, I can take responsibility and grant you two spots to enter the Godfall Land."
Vice Principal Meng knew about the relationship between Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
"Alright then." Ye Yunfei nodded.
Originally, Ye Yunfei planned to leave the Heavenly Dao Academy.
However, this Vice Principal Meng was showing such sincerity that Ye Yunfei temporarily chose to stay.
"Then you should head back for now.
If there's anything, just send me a message directly." Vice Principal Meng said.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a communication jade slip landed in front of Ye Yunfei.
"Alright." Ye Yunfei stored the jade slip, turned, and left the cave abode, returning to his cultivation mountain peak.
"How did it go?" Da Di Daozhang had been waiting for Ye Yunfei.
"We're staying in the Third Hall for the time being," Ye Yunfei said to Da Di Daozhang.
"Alright.
You're in charge of everything.
So, what do we do now..." Da Di Daozhang said.
"To the Mission Hall, to claim our Contribution Points." Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
Since they were continuing to stay in the Heavenly Dao Academy, they should follow the academy's rules.
Thus,
Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang once again arrived at the Mission Hall.
"Look!
It's Su Ye and Du Fan, they're back again!"
Immediately, the Mission Hall was once again stirred into an uproar.
Numerous students gathered to watch.
"You two are here to claim Contribution Points, right?" Elder Jin appeared in the Mission Hall, looking at Ye Yunfei with a complicated gaze.
Now that he knew Ye Yunfei's true identity, his attitude was naturally different.
"Yes.
Troubling Elder Jin." Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Very well.
What tasks have you two completed?" Elder Jin asked.
"All the tasks we accepted have been completed," Ye Yunfei said, waving his hand.
Two identity tokens flew out, hovering before him.
Then, various scenes erupted from the two identity tokens.
These scenes were of Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang completing their missions.
"Heavens!
They really completed forty missions!"
"It's truly a miracle!
Many of these missions required life-and-death battles against experts at the late stage of the Minor Mysterious Dan Realm, yet they managed to complete them all!"
Sounds of incredulous amazement rose within the Mission Hall.
Every watching student felt it was unbelievable.
"You two, each receive five thousand Contribution Points," Elder Jin finally announced.
"Incredible!
It's absolutely unbelievable!
Two new students earned five thousand Contribution Points within ten days.
This practically breaks the historical record of our Third Hall!"
Every student in the Mission Hall was utterly stunned.
"Elder Jin, we apply to undergo the assessment to become intermediate students," Ye Yunfei directly said.
Even though Vice Principal Meng had already promised to give Ye Yunfei two qualifications to enter the Godfall Land,
it would be more appropriate to follow the Heavenly Dao Academy's rules when the time came.
"Very well.
You can take the assessment tomorrow." Elder Jin thought for a moment and said.
He knew that with Vice Principal Meng stepping forward to protect Ye Yunfei, few within the Heavenly Dao Academy would dare target Ye Yunfei.
Even the Third Hall Master wouldn't dare cause trouble for Ye Yunfei anymore.
Because Vice Principal Meng was one of the top experts of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
The Third Hall Master was far from being a match!
Next, Ye Yunfei returned to his cultivation mountain peak.
Ye Yunfei directly entered the Phantom Tower and arrived before Tang Xue and Li Zhong.
After his conversation with Vice Principal Meng, Ye Yunfei had many questions he wanted to ask Tang Xue and Li Zhong.
