Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1222: Forbidden Technique

Translator: Lordbluefire

The Wind King was watching with interest and showed no signs of wanting to interfere.

Although its fight with the kirin earlier was ferocious, both of them didn’t even unleash 1% of their full power.

“I was wondering why that kirin didn’t want to unleash all its power. So this is the case!”

The Wind King sneered at that kirin. After that, it recalled that it was also trapped in the Wind King Divine Hall and had no idea when it could be free, thus it was depressed again.

However, one good thing was that it knew it could believe in Li Ziqi’s character.

“Everyone, don’t be in a hurry to scold people. Do you guys really understand this ‘Xia Taikang’?”

Sun Mo spoke to the people from Great Xia, telling them to be patient.

“What do you mean?”

Everyone didn’t understand.

Xia Taikang wasn’t only the crown prince of the Great Xia, but he was also proclaimed to be a genius of the millennium, someone that could lead the Great Xia Empire to become the top empire in the Nine Provinces.

Although the Xia Emperor had yet to abdicate the throne, Xia Taikang was already controlling parts of the country with his status as the crown prince. Besides, it was said that after the Five Empires War Discussion ended and Xia Taikang obtained the first place, the Xia Emperor would officially abdicate the throne.

Bluntly speaking, Xia Taikang was someone who wanted face. He wanted to become the next Xia Emperor by borrowing the prestige of the champion of the Five Empires War Discussion.

“Why didn’t the grand tutor of your country come?”

Sun Mo counter-asked.

The other countries had sent their grand tutors. After all, whether the crown prince’s performance was outstanding or not concerned their prestige.

“Grand Tutor Xia’s body isn’t too good and is recuperating in our country. What’s the problem?”

Someone answered.

“Oh, he’s actually still alive? I thought he’s already dead!” Sun Mo analyzed. “From the looks of things, he has a hand in this too!”

“Great Teacher Sun, what are you talking about exactly?”

The Qi Emperor was completely clueless.

“I just want to tell everyone that this Xia Crown Prince is fake. Someone is masquerading as him. His true body has died, and his body is only an empty shell now.”

Sun Mo’s words were like a cold current that came from the north and directly stunned everyone into silence.

“Your Majesty, did I hear wrongly? He actually said that this Xia Taikang is a fake one?”

The queen felt this was very ridiculous.

Although in this world there were indeed a few magical and mysterious secret arts or treasures that could seize one’s soul and change one’s face, that could only work if the target was someone ordinary. The various royal clans all had secret methods to identify one’s identity and bloodline.

Besides, the grand tutors and great teachers employed by the royal clan would all be people with wide horizons and immense experiences. Even if someone planned to substitute a prince, their plots would surely be sniffed out.

It was basically impossible to use such schemes to seize the throne.

“Sun Mo, what nonsense are you speaking? How can this crown prince’s reputation be besmirched by someone like you?”

Xia Taikang howled with a flushed face.

“Then, how do you explain your sudden surge in strength earlier?”

Sun Mo questioned.

“Can’t I be a genius?”

Xia Taikang coldly snorted. “Besides, I’m the crown prince. All the cultivation resources I use are top-graded ones!”

“Hehe, you can ask Grand Tutor Su about this. Even if a genius eats heavenly ingredients daily, can he reach the Legendary Realm like you at the age of twenty-five?”

Sun Mo’s Divine Sight was activated. He actually wasn’t able to identify Xia Taikang’s actual cultivation realm, but it was for sure not low. This was why he took action. He was able to depend on his various peak-level cultivation arts to block Xia Taikang’s attacks. If it was other Longevity Realm experts in his place, they would have been smashed to death.

“Great Teacher Sun must be joking. If it was so easy to reach the Legendary Realm, everyone on the street would be one.”

Grand Tutor Su self-mockingly laughed.

Speaking of resources, Grand Tutor Su also didn’t lack any. But didn’t he still have to climb up step by step?

“Sun Mo, stop talking with no proof. If you are capable, show some proof!”

Xia Taikang glared at Sun Mo like how he was looking at the killer of his father.

“Sure!”

Sun Mo shrugged. Just when everyone had their eyes wide open and wanted to see how Sun Mo would prove it, he suddenly attacked.

Swish~

A platinum glow shot toward Xia Taikang.

He wanted to dodge, but that beam of light was too fast.

Putong!

Xia Taikang’s head was pressed onto the ground.

“What are you doing?”

Clang! Clang!

The people from the Great Xia diplomatic group all pulled out their weapons and stared at Sun Mo in rage.

“Your crown prince was dead a long time ago. He was refined into a living puppet by someone using a forbidden technique. After that, that person also used another technique to replace his soul with another soul.”

Sun Mo explained.

“What I used was Freedom Proof. It can cause a rejection reaction between that soul and your crown prince’s corpse!”

As expected, Xia Taikang’s body started squirming. It looked like a monster out of a horror movie, it was very frightening.

“I, I’ll kill you!”

Xia Taikang’s voice turned bizarre.

The diplomatic group from the Great Xia were all stunned. For a time, they didn’t know what they should do. After all, this matter was too major.

“Who knows if you used some methods to secretly ambush His Highness? You should stop first!”

The main commander of the diplomatic group recovered first and pleaded with the Qi Emperor. “Your Majesty, please help us protect Our Highness. At the same time, please summon your top-level puppeteers and spiritual controllers to inspect Our Highness.”

“Beloved Subject Sun, this matter is too huge in terms of impact. It’s best not to speak recklessly!”

The Qi Emperor felt a headache.

Xia Taikang was the Xia Empire’s hope. If he died, things would be extremely troublesome. A war might truly be invoked.

“I’m not speaking recklessly. You can find anyone to come and inspect him. There are traces of a forbidden technique being used on this body.”

Sun Mo was very calm.

At this moment, a human-shaped black shadow shot out of Xia Taikang’s body.

“Sun Mo, you destroyed my life. I’m going to kill you!”

The black shadow was enraged, “Xia Zeyang, spread my command and start an all-out war against the Great Tang and the Central Province Academy!”

“Ah?”

Xia Zeyang was none other than the main commander of the Xia diplomatic group. He jumped in fright when he heard this voice. This voice seemed to be the voice of the Xia Emperor?

Just when Xia Zeyang was in a daze, Sun Mo lowered his head and instructed Li Ziqi with a few sentences. After that, the little sunny egg waved her hand and cast a divine language of spiritual control.

It was Land Proof.

Strictly speaking, humans could be considered land-based lifeforms and were within the range of this divine language.

It was a pity that the soul strength of this shadow was simply too strong. The divine language was ineffective.

“Teacher!”

The little sunny egg stuck out her tongue.

Just when Sun Mo wanted to act, the Wind King took matters into its own hands.

“Allow me!”

Swoosh~

A transparent wind arrow penetrated the black shadow. After that, numerous shackles erupted forth from it and entangled the shadow, binding it and forcing it to reduce to the size of a walnut.

“Hehe, not bad. I have a new toy again!”

The Wind King was very happy.

“Sun Mo, please leave that thing behind!”

Xia Zeyang spoke out. What if that black shadow truly belonged to the Xia Emperor?

Without waiting for Sun Mo to reply, the Wind King retaliated. Everyone couldn’t even see its attack clearly. They only saw that after Xia Zeyang finished speaking, his entire person was diced into countless pieces of flesh that splattered onto the ground.

“Ant, you actually dare to act so arrogantly before this king. You really don’t want your life anymore.”

The Wind King coldly snorted.

This scene caused many people to shiver.

“‘This king’, was Li Ziqi’s spiritual control beast a king?”

Grand Tutor Su guessed.
