I Am Overlord

Chapter 718: Xiao Wei's Appearance

Xiang Shaoyun did not reject Aikai and accepted him as a subordinate. With that, he gained a fierce non-human general. It was worth noting that many humans longed to have non-human experts as subordinates, but not many were capable enough to have one.

Since he had gained Aikai as a subordinate in the Sinister Wind Den, Xiang Shaoyun would probably create a commotion in the academy. Apart from that, the Overlord Legion's prestige would also grow.

When Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the teleportation formation with Aikai, the overseer on duty was astonished. And when Xiang Shaoyun voiced his request to bring Aikai with him, the overseer's shock intensified.

The beastmen were known for being stubborn. Subduing one wasn't easy. Furthermore, this beastman had a higher cultivation level than Xiang Shaoyun. The overseer could not understand how Xiang Shaoyun had accomplished that.

Then again, Xiang Shaoyun was a special priority disciple. He might really have some unimaginable methods at his disposal. Xiang Shaoyun also told the overseer about the yin wind devil invasion, which the overseer was relatively indifferent about. He only nodded in response.

That caused Xiang Shaoyun to wonder inwardly, Has he known of the invasion long ago?

He brought his confusion with him and left the Sinister Wind Den zone. Sure enough, a commotion was created when he appeared in the academy with Aikai.

"Th-that's a feathered beastman. Why is he here with Xiang Shaoyun? Has he been subdued by Xiang Shaoyun?"

"Feathered beastmen can only be found in the Sinister Wind Den zone. They are extremely fast and vicious. It is exceedingly hard to defeat even one of them, much less subdue one. This overlord is truly too domineering, to be able to subdue even a beastman like that."

"Not long ago, he killed Di Lin's elder brother, Di Shang. Now, he returns with a beastman. Is there still anything he is not capable of?"

"Looks like the rise of the Overlord Legion is already certain. Should I consider joining them as well?"

...

Xiang Shaoyun ignored all the discussions and went straight to his villa with Aikai. After returning to 1 Dragon Villa, he started considering the matter of informing the academy higher-ups about the yin wind devil invasion so they would attach some importance to it.

After thinking about it for a bit, he went straight to the meeting hall. With his status as a disciple, he was not allowed to enter alone, but he couldn't be bothered with the rules right now. Before he could reach the hall, someone stopped him.

"Elder Xiao," Xiang Shaoyun called out when he saw the one blocking his way.

He was trying to let the academy know of the invasion. Ordinary overseers did not seem like they would care. Now that he was able to meet Xiao Wei, he was naturally overjoyed.

"You're heading to the meeting hall?" Xiao Wei asked with a calm demeanor. historical

Unknown to Xiang Shaoyun, Xiao Wei had been observing him for a long time. He was the elder the grand elders had sent to guard Xiang Shaoyun. Unfortunately, Xiang Shaoyun was completely unaware of it even now.

If Xiang Shaoyun wasn't heading toward the meeting hall, Xiao Wei wouldn't have revealed himself either.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly said, "Reporting to Elder Xiao, the yin wind devils have appeared in the Sinister Wind Den zone. Moreover, they have constructed a spatial tunnel there. A large yin wind devil army could arrive at any time, and I am trying to report it to the elders. Otherwise, this will develop into a disaster for the dominion."

"It's good that you have the dominion in your mind. Very good," praised Xiao Wei. "Alright. You can pull out of this now. The academy will deal with it."

Looking at the indifference Xiao Wei was showing, Xiang Shaoyun emphasized, "Elder Xiao, the devil army will not only harm the academy...even us humans will be put at risk."

"Hehe, I know more than you how important this is. Don't worry. Go back and return to cultivating," said Xiao Wei with a smile.

The Sinister Wind Den was one of the academy's nine major cultivation zones. Anything happening within them would not escape the academy's notice. In truth, the academy had intentionally let the devils build the spatial tunnel. Their purpose was to lure the yin wind devils over.

As for the yin wind devil army, it was unlikely to happen as some hidden formations were already in place. The moment anything bad happened, the academy would destroy the tunnel.

As for the yin wind devils that managed to arrive, they weren't too strong and were just nice to temper the academy disciples. If Xiang Shaoyun knew that, he would probably admire the higher-ups for coming up with that plan. Such a scheme was not something a young man like him could come up with.

When Xiang Shaoyun heard Xiao Wei, he could no longer keep to the same topic.

"I'll leave, then," said Xiang Shaoyun as he turned and left.

He had only taken a few steps when Xiao Wei's voice transmission arrived, "Comprehending the profundity of powers is a good idea, but don't neglect any chances of expanding your stars."

After saying that, Xiao Wei vanished into thin air. Xiang Shaoyun was confused, Chances of expanding my stars? Is he telling me to use some herbs to expand my stars?

In the past, he had used the astral expansion flower to expand his stars, but that herb would only work once. His only option was to look for other herbs or treasures with the same effect. However, these herbs and treasures were extremely rare. It wouldn't be easy to get one. Of course, the academy still had some in their storage.

I'll buy some after earning more contribution points, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

At the moment, he did not have any contribution points as he had given them all to the Han Clan sisters. If he wanted to trade for those herbs, he needed contribution points. Once again, he returned to his villa.

There, he found that Ma Qihao had been beaten to the ground by Aikai. As for Zhuge Zhantian, he was standing to the side speechlessly, an odd expression on his face.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.

"Greetings, Overlord," Zhuge Zhantian greeted.

"Looks like you're improving nicely. You've even reached the third stage," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

"Sharp eyes, Overlord. Yes, I have had some gains recently," said Zhuge Zhantian. "Overlord, this is?"

"He is Aikai, one of us," said Xiang Shaoyun. He then looked at Ma Qihao and said, "Ma Qihao, why are you on the ground? Did you provoke Aikai?"

Face flushed red, Ma Qihao said, "Overlord, when I saw this...this person here, I thought he was here to pick a fight. So I fought him, but he's actually too strong. I'm not his match."

"Hehe, Aikai's strength is far above yours, so it's not surprising that you lost," said Xiang Shaoyun.
