"What? Let her go!?" Princess Hua Shao said displeasedly, "Wang Xiaoqiang, killing Ghost Cultivators is the duty of us Human Cultivators. Now that this Ghost King's daughter has fallen into our hands, you actually want to let her go?..."

"Don't forget, she just saved you," Wang Xiaoqiang replied. "One shouldn't be ungrateful, shouldn't be heartless..."

"She saved me only because of your face, right?" Princess Hua Shao's gaze shifted between Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Mei, her tone full of jealousy... "Wang Xiaoqiang, you're not loyal and righteous; you're too sentimental. You're so sentimental that it's indiscriminate; you, you actually developed feelings for a Ghost Race woman..."

"Hua Shao, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Xiaoqiang thought this woman's jealousy was simply unreasonable.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Princess Hua Shao said indignantly, "Don't forget, she's the Ghost King's daughter. If this matter gets out, what fate will befall you? You will be discredited! You will become a traitor colluding with Ghost Cultivators! Don't speak of Yueyang Academy, even the entire Yellow Dragon Empire, the entire Immortal Realm, will be against you... You will be the public enemy of the entire Human Clan! You will be beyond redemption!!"

Princess Hua Shao looked furious, continuing, "Wang Xiaoqiang, don't blame me for being harsh, I'm thinking of you..."

"Only we ten people know about this, as long as everyone doesn't speak out, it will be fine," Wang Xiaoqiang said, glancing at the other students.

The other eight students remained silent.

Indeed, killing Ghost Cultivators is the duty of Human Cultivators, deliberately exiling without killing is dereliction, but since Little Mei is so loyal and righteous, they also felt unwilling to act heartlessly.

"If you can't do it, I'll be the villain!" Duke Hua Shao's face suddenly showed killing intent as he condensed a ball of Soldier Aura in his hand, striking towards Little Mei's forehead.

Little Mei closed her eyes, displaying a look of calm acceptance of death.

Wang Xiaoqiang waved away Princess Hua Shao's hand, resolutely saying, "I said I would protect her, and I will, even if the next moment I descend into Hell!"

Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, then said to Little Mei, "Hurry up and leave, the Ghost King has already fled to the Netherworld, you've lost your protection here. You must leave this place far behind. Find other shelter!"

Little Mei's face showed a shock at this, not expecting Wang Xiaoqiang not only would not kill her but also consider her environment. At this moment, the humiliation she felt at Wang Xiaoqiang's place completely dissipated, replaced by a sense of gratitude.

She nodded, turned around, and left.

She quickly walked out of the prison.

When Princess Hua Shao's face turned cold and chased after Little Mei, she was stopped at the prison gate by Fang Qiu, who said, "Hua Shao, let it go, a Ghost Cultivator isn't worth your jealousy..."

Upon hearing this, Hua Shao felt ashamed and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Fang, what do you mean? I, I'm not..."

Before Princess Hua Shao finished her sentence, Fang Qiu interrupted, speaking in a voice only two people could hear, "To save you, Wang Xiaoqiang spared no cost and almost lost his life."

Hearing this, Princess Hua Shao was stunned and then she let go of her anger.

Upon reflection, she also felt she was somewhat excessive, no need to bicker over a Ghost Cultivator.

When the ten students came out of the prison, the disciples of Ghost King Sect had already fled, leaving the Ghost King Sect suddenly empty, silent as a grave.

"Wow, Little Qiang, I really didn't expect that your strength would have reached such heights?" As they walked out of Ghost King Sect, Fang Qiu commented with some admiration, patting Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder.

The other students also secretly observed Wang Xiaoqiang, all with looks of curiosity and awe.

The scene of Wang Xiaoqiang fighting the Ghost Spirit was still vivid in their minds, and everyone doubted his incredible combat power, because Wang Xiaoqiang shouldn't have terrifying strength like that.

Wang Xiaoqiang knew that it was a force unleashed by the Alien Blood Energy, but he couldn't explain it to everyone, so he deflected by saying, "Actually, that Ghost Spirit, looked quite powerful and terrifying, but was just a paper tiger, all show no substance, didn't have much power..."

Fang Qiu secretly shook his head upon hearing this, and the other students didn't believe it, but didn't press the issue.

They refraining from asking was best, Wang Xiaoqiang feared this topic would come up again, so he quickly walked a few paces to the pagoda under Ghost King Sect, looking up at the pagoda only to see Vengeful Spirits still watching from above, as if waiting for something. When they saw him coming, they lowered their eyes.

Wang Xiaoqiang called out to them, "Hey, aren't you leaving? The Ghost King has fled to the Netherworld, you've regained your freedom!"

The Vengeful Spirits bowed to the students, gratefully saying, "Thank you, thank you all for driving away the Ghost King, allowing us to obtain freedom. Till we meet again!"

"Till we meet again!" The students all bowed to bid farewell to the Vengeful Spirits, who gratefully gazed at the students and then flew away happily like birds.

Originally, these Vengeful Spirits were waiting there specially to thank and bid farewell.

Seeing the Vengeful Spirits regain their freedom, the students felt happy, glad for them.

After leaving the Ghost King Sect, the students discussed the next actions, resulting in a split in opinions,

Some students suggested staying in Ghost Territory to kill Ghost Cultivators, arguing that with the Ghost King and numerous elite Ghost Soldiers fleeing to the Netherworld, the Ghost Territory was leaderless, extremely empty, why not take this opportunity to sweep through and severely damage the Ghost Cultivators' Vital Energy!

Some students hoped to retreat, not wanting to remain in Ghost Territory for more battles, due to exhaustion from ten days of fighting, being too weary to continue.

After a round of debate, opinions were still not unified, Fang Qiu asked Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, why aren't you expressing yourself, do you want to go back, or stay in Ghost Territory to continue sweeping...?"

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang; all believed that with Wang Xiaoqiang's personality, he should advocate staying to continue the sweep,

But Wang Xiaoqiang's answer surprised everyone, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Someone just mentioned the Ghost King and his elite forces have gone to the Netherworld, the Ghost Territory is leaderless, plunged into emptiness, a good chance to continue sweeping down, and I want to mention because of this, there's no need for us to sweep down anymore. Let everyone not forget our initial intention of coming to Ghost Territory...

Ghost Cultivators plague our Human Clan people, cruelly and ruthlessly, but there are Ghost Cultivators who advocate peace, there are women like Princess Mei who are kind, I think our purpose in coming here is for peace, not killing, but to ensure peace for the surrounding people near Ghost Territory,

The Ghost King's departure greatly weakened the Ghost Race forces, now Ghost Cultivators are hiding, lacking courage to harm our Human Clan again... So our goal has been achieved, no need to continue further."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words caused everyone to nod in agreement, finally reaching a unified decision to retreat.

Fang Qiu released the Golden Page, the Golden Page formed into the Flying Boat, everyone boarded the Golden Leaf Flying Boat to return.

Came with ten people, returned with ten people, although most of the students were injured, fortunately none were fatal, after returning to recuperate they would recover,

The zero death rate filled everyone with relief, plus this training received unexpected results, not only severely striking the rampant arrogance of Ghost Cultivators, but also greatly drained their Vital Energy. Of course, mainly scaring away the Ghost King and his elite followers, reducing their influence greatly, in this way ensuring the safety of the surrounding people near Ghost Territory.

Thinking about this brought joy to the students, also instilling a sense of accomplishment, of course Wang Xiaoqiang contributed the most, and in everyone's heart, there was hidden admiration.
