I Am Overlord

Chapter 902: Prior to Leaving

Xiang Shaoyun could hear the confidence in the gravekeeper elder\'s voice, as though the elder believed Xiang Shaoyun could easily accomplish anything he set his mind to.

His confidence infected Xiang Shaoyun, and an unyielding emotion welled within Xiang Shaoyun. He recovered from his gloominess and said, "I will listen to your command, Master, and I win the competition of the four academies."

"Um. You need to search for your dao yourself. Since you can comprehend nine profundities, your comprehension capability is incredibly high, but you are still not the best. The dominion is filled with geniuses, and many of them can compete with you. Never ever grow complacent," reminded the gravekeeper elder.

"Also, apart from the peace of the academy, I also want you to leave the academy because I hope you can fight for your own cultivation resources. That way, you can temper yourself. The academy has all sorts of resources available, and you will come to rely on it if you stay. It won\'t be beneficial for your growth."

The gravekeeper elder was obviously explaining so Xiang Shaoyun could understand his intentions. He did not wish to be misunderstood either.

Xiang Shaoyun was smart, and he instantly understood what the gravekeeper elder was trying to do. He said seriously, "Your disciple obeys."

"You have half a month to finish your affairs in the academy. Leave when you\'re done. Don\'t look for me if it\'s nothing important. Of course, it wouldn\'t be easy for you to return after leaving anyway," said the gravekeeper elder coldly.

Xiang Shaoyun hesitated for a bit and finally decided to ask, "Master, I wish to save the person imprisoned in the Castle of Darkness."

He believed the gravekeeper elder knew who he was talking about. After all, this was the academy\'s oldest living individual.

"That is your private affair, and I am not obliged to help. But, if you are capable of freeing him, I won\'t stop you," said the gravekeeper elder before vanishing into thin air.

Xiang Shaoyun thought about the gravekeeper elder\'s words and smiled. "So is master saying he\'s going to turn a blind eye? Then I really need to think it through."

He then turned and left. He was going to bid farewell to his brothers and sisters in the Overlord Legion and leave the Dragon Phoenix Academy, which he had stayed in for several years.

He had yet to leave far when the wolfman reappeared before him. The wolfman bowed respectfully and said, "Young master, I will be by your side at all times for your remaining time in the academy."

Evidently, this was the final protection the gravekeeper elder was giving him. In the future, he would have to rely on himself.

"Ok," Xiang Shaoyun agreed without any hesitation.

Someone might still be trying to create trouble for him in his remaining time in the academy. With the wolfman by his side, he would not need to fear anything.

Xiang Shaoyun returned to 1 Dragon Villa impatiently. He knew that the Overlord Legion members had long known that he had been expelled. He had to properly placate them.

On his way, he encountered many disciples. Each of them had a complicated expression upon seeing him, and not one stepped forth to taunt him. Most of them had a look of sympathy.

There was even a young woman who said, "Overlord, I like you. I will withdraw from the academy with you. We can live as a free and unfettered couple. Do you agree?"

The young woman had excellent looks, fair skin, and a flawless figure. She was a rare beauty. Alas, Xiang Shaoyun did not have the time to get involved in romance. He merely offered her a smile before stepping away.

Nobody could stop his dao, and nobody could interfere in his dao. He was going to walk the path of the strongest dao. Before he had even arrived at 1 Dragon Villa, news of his reappearance spread everywhere, and the Overlord Legion members started gathering from all directions.

"Overlord, where have you been? We were worried sick of you!" asked one of them.

"Am I not here now? Don\'t worry," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Overlord, we don\'t want you to leave," said someone else.

"Don\'t worry. I am only leaving after half a month. We still have plenty of time," said Xiang Shaoyun cheerily.

Soon, hundreds of people surrounded him, and the large group headed for 1 Dragon Villa with great fanfare. People of other factions were filled with respect toward Xiang Shaoyun\'s leadership. He still enjoyed such respect even after being expelled.

At this time, Gui Mochou and Feng Xiaosha suddenly appeared before Xiang Shaoyun. There were about a dozen people behind them. All of them were staring at Xiang Shaoyun, and they were obviously here for him.

"You still dare to show your face before me?" said Xiang Shaoyun with a frown.

"Haha, who do you think you are? You\'re merely a stray dog that has been expelled from the academy. You dare act cocky in front of me?" said Feng Xiaosha with derision.

"A defeated opponent like you is saying all these big words?" said Xiang Shaoyun with his eyes narrowed.

"Hmph. The moment you step out of the academy, you will face our endless pursuit. Just wait for your death," said Feng Xiaosha coldly.

"And the Squall members will be oppressed by the entire Overlord Legion!" shouted someone from the Overlord Legion.

The other Overlord Legion members also started shouting at Feng Xiaosha and co. They were so overbearing when acting as one that Feng Xiaosha\'s group was actually frightened.

"Xiang Shaoyun has devil blood in him. What are you doing? Why are you still following a devil? Are you associating with the devils?" berated Gui Mochou. "He was expelled because he is a devil and had murdered an elder\'s descendant. Be very careful who you\'re supporting."

"Bullshit. How can the overlord be a devil? You are clearly framing him!" shouted Pan Yun, who was completely infuriated by the accusation.

"That\'s right. The overlord is obviously a human. All of us can sense it clearly. A devil will be cultivating devilish energy, but the overlord cultivates astral energy. Anyone with a brain can see that. You are clearly framing the overlord due to your jealousy. How shameless!" said someone else.

"You guys are persisting on the wrong path. You will come to regret this," said Gui Mochou with a sigh.

Feng Xiaosha said, "The Overlord Legion will cease to exist. You might as well join the Squall. I will always welcome you guys. Both myself and my senior brother are seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators. We are no weaker than your overlord."

They were here not only to humiliate Xiang Shaoyun but to also steal his members. They truly harbored bad intentions.

The Overlord Legion members were furious, and when they were about to continue bickering, Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Wolf guard, these flies are too noisy. Can you shut them up?"
