Chapter 377 Top Scholar
Countless people looked at the dead Yao Xue, and then at the solemn-faced Ye Ru, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.
"A gentleman keeps his word, so I will not kill you, but when you come to the battlefield, your fate will be left to destiny."
Ye Ru turned his head and looked at the demons, then slowly said.
The demons also looked at Ye Ru with hatred in their eyes, but due to their own strength, they did not have the courage to seek revenge on Ye Ru.
The demons also gasped and remained silent.
"Let's forget about it, the opponent is too powerful..."
Meng Yun sighed and turned to leave with the other three.
They knew that after witnessing Ye Ru's methods, even if they combined the strength of the four great talents, they probably wouldn't be able to do any real harm to him. Rather than that, it would be better to maintain that false friendship so that it wouldn't be so awkward when they met in the future.
“Brother Ye is truly righteous, sparing so many demons from being killed. He is indeed a man of honor. I, Long Shang, admire him. Now that our journey on the Holy Road is over, we will take our leave first.”
Long Shang bowed to Ye Ru and then slowly spoke.
He knew that there was no point in staying here any longer.
"and many more."
At this moment, Ye Ru turned his head, and the Sacred Ancient Tree rustled as it stretched out its branches.
"Brother Ye, is there anything else important?"
These words made Long Shang's heart skip a beat, and he slowly began to activate the dragon power within his body.
“Brother Long, this journey on the Holy Path is the result of our joint efforts, and what you should be seeking is the Holy Leaf, therefore…”
Ye Ru smiled slightly at him, and dozens of sacred leaves fell from the branches of the ancient sacred tree behind him with a rustling sound.
These sacred leaves fell into Ye Ru's palm, then he handed them over and said:
"These sacred leaves are for you as compensation."
"This……"
Ye Ru's actions startled Long Shang, and the dragon power within him gradually subsided. He then said:
"Thank you, Brother Ye. I was the one who judged you with my petty mind."
After carefully storing the sacred leaves, Long Shang pondered for a moment before finally taking out a jade pendant:
"You humans believe in repaying kindness tenfold. This jade pendant is proof of your entry into my dragon clan. Holding this is like seeing me. You can come to the dragon clan anytime you wish to do so."
After speaking, Long Shang slowly turned his head and then waved his hand:
"let's go."
“Everyone here has a Sacred Leaf, but not many, just one for each person.”
Seeing the eager looks on everyone's faces, Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and waved his hand. Countless sacred leaves transformed into beams of light, raining down and causing many people to scramble for them.
Han Fengxian looked at the sacred leaf in his hand, took a deep breath to suppress his rage, and then left with Han Lu and the others.
As everyone left, Ye Ru and the others also began to part ways.
"Let's part ways here. Thank you, Brother Ye, for saving my life."
Li Xunfeng bowed to Ye Ru.
"No need to be polite. We are all human, and we will join forces to fight our enemies in the future."
Ye Ru shook his head.
"Then we'll be leaving now. If you ever come to my Li family again, we will definitely treat you as a guest."
After Li Xunfeng finished speaking, he took a deep breath and then walked away into the distance. Ye Ling thanked Ye Ru and then left as well.
Of course, there were also many who had prejudices against Ye Ru, and they snorted and left.
"Phew, finally leaving. I wonder how I did on the imperial examination this time."
Ye Ru raised his head, looked at the distant sky, then turned and bowed slightly to the tightly closed bronze door:
"Gentlemen, we, the younger generation, will certainly strive to improve ourselves, work hard, and protect the human race with our lives."
Afterwards, Ye Ru put away the Sacred Ancient Tree, then stepped out of the Sacred Path and disappeared from the spot.
……
While Ye Ru and the others were leaving, the demon race was thrown into turmoil once again.
The cause of the turmoil was naturally the demonic snow that had entered the Holy Path.
Inside the main hall, dozens of demon saints sat together in an unusually heavy atmosphere, which was also filled with a strong killing intent.
"Yao Xue is dead."
A demon saint spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of murderous intent.
"Who killed him?"
Another demon saint frowned slightly and tentatively spoke, his face also showing a hint of shock. He was well aware of Yao Xue's abilities, but he never expected that Yao Xue would actually die now.
"The situation is still under investigation, and we should have results soon."
The Asura Demon Saint pondered for a moment and then said.
creak.
At this moment, a demon lord opened the door and respectfully bowed to these demon saints:
"The results are in. The person who killed Yao Xue is..."
"who is it?"
The Asura Demon Saint glanced at the Demon Lord and said.
"It's still that Ye Ru."
"No way, that Ye Ru was only a student at the lowest level, no, he should be a scholar now. How could a scholar like him possibly kill Yao Xue?"
Among these demon saints, one who was rather thin stared wide-eyed in shock.
"Judging from the death image, it was indeed made by that scholar named Ye Ru."
"Didn't we send out a lot of people to kill him? What, so many people couldn't even handle a mere scholar? What use are you all!"
The most powerful demon saint took a deep breath, then suppressed his rage, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted sternly.
"Your subordinate is incompetent. I will immediately dispatch two demon guards to kill Ye Ru."
The demon lord immediately knelt down in panic. He knew that this demon saint was notoriously capricious. Even if he were killed, no one else would dare to object. He was also the person with the best chance of becoming a demon god among all the demon race.
"Hmm, issue a kill order. These two demon guards... This time, we cannot afford to lose them again, or we will have to atone with your head."
Seemingly satisfied with the decision, the most powerful demon saint nodded and said.
……
Ye Ru was unaware of the kill order issued by the demon race, as he had already left the Holy Path and headed to the Northern Territory.
He didn't have much time to communicate with Yuzhang Academy, after all, it was under the command of the Left Prime Minister.
"Ye Ru, you're back?"
Upon arriving in the Northern Territory, Chen Tianjian spotted Ye Ru from afar and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Is Lord Chen well?"
"I'm fine. Your results this time are really amazing. They surprised us all."
Chen Tianjian's face showed a mysterious expression as he spoke.
"Why are you so surprised? Did something happen after you handed in your paper early?"
Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked.
Seeing this, Chen Tianjian patted Ye Ru on the shoulder and laughed heartily:
"Fifth Grade, that's one grade higher than when you took the preliminary examination. Now you are truly the top scholar in the provincial examination, a fifth-grade candidate!"
