Chapter 1544: Something Happened

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Million Wine Mountain was still continuously collapsing. Only in the middle of the fountain was an invisible barrier surrounding it, and it was still peaceful.

Only the repeated knocks that kept sounding from inside were strange and mysterious, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

“The Heaven-Locking Formation has already started to lose control. We’re just afraid—” Elder Hua Feng’s face was pale. He was a Xuan Master, and he naturally knew how dangerous the current situation was.

It was fine if it were the other formations in the academy; they might have a chance of winning if they tried their best. However, this Heaven-Locking Formation was completely different from those!

Elder Bo Yan knitted his brows tightly. Suddenly, a ray of white light quickly flashed across his mind!

“The Heaven Scrolls!” He quickly turned his head to look at Elder Hua Feng. “The Heaven-Locking Formation was left behind by the first director back then. Perhaps the Heaven Scrolls have a solution!”

Almost at that moment, Elder Hua Feng understood what Elder Bo Yan meant. “You’re talking about… the Xuan formation that person left behind back then?”

His eyes first lit up. Then, that spark of light quickly disappeared. “However… There are at least a hundred Heaven Scrolls with Xuan formations, and every single one of them is very complicated! In such a short time, how can we understand all of them and solve the problem before us?”

This was literally an impossible task! All these years, those items left behind by the first director were meticulously treasured by the academy, and they wouldn’t be easily produced for other people to see.

On the one hand, those items were indeed precious. On the other hand, there weren’t many people who could understand items of such level.

To put it crudely, a Great King Xuan Master like Elder Hua Feng only had the right to go in and look when he made a huge contribution to the academy. And in a year or so, he might not even be able to understand even one of the scrolls, let alone other people!

Elder Bo Yan’s expression instantly darkened. It is indeed too late to think about that now. However… Can we really just watch everything happen? 

Hong long long! 

As they spoke, Million Wine Mountain continued collapsing.

The lines on the Heaven-Locking Formation were moved by an invisible force and had started to become messy. The rays of light swam around, and the energy exploded!

The mountain broke into pieces.

The hard rocks turned into powder.

Between heaven and earth, dust flew everywhere.

The night became increasingly dark, like a giant fiend that was about to swallow everything!

…

Red Moon Desert.

A red moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight shone down and covered the desert with a layer of light color.

It was sinisterly cold.

In the depths of the desert, there was a quiet and peaceful lake.

When the blood moon reached the peak of its ascent, a faint red color shone on the lake.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the middle of the lake. The crack grew bigger and slowly formed a path.

A small figure slowly walked out from within. He was wearing cotton clothes, and he had snow-white skin and purple eyes.

His thick and long lashes cast a faint shadow below his eyes, causing his entire person to be more distant. When the night wind blew and rippled, it curled up his purple hair.

It was Dugu Mobao!

He stood above the lake and looked up at the sky as darkness flashed across his eyes.

For so many years, they could only temporarily attain freedom and break free from that cage when it was the night of the blood moon. But after such a long time, they had long hated such days.

Now, he had to risk his life and reform his Holy Body to get a few days of rest. But after exiting this desert, he still couldn’t casually use his holy force. If not, it would spell grave danger!

“It has already been so long, and they haven’t come over. I think they haven’t discovered it yet.” A translucent figure flew out from the lake—it was Diwu Zhangze.

Dugu Mobao retracted his gaze and shook his head. “Not exactly.”

After all, he did take action in the G.o.d Residence Realm. Even if he had used all sorts of methods to cover it… those people weren’t naive. Even if they didn’t take action now, they might just be observing in the dark.

Or perhaps they had other considerations.

Diwu Zhangze knitted his brows. “During this period of time, you even forced your Holy Body to hibernate to hide your aura. Even if they have all the skills in the world, they might not be able to produce any evidence.”

Without evidence, they couldn’t do anything.

Even though they were trapped in this cage back then, they did leave some contingencies behind. At the very least, if those people casually barged into the Red Moon Desert, they could retaliate unconditionally.

“It’s all thanks to Lan Xiao for leaving such a method behind during the negotiations back then. If not… we really would’ve been touched in every way.” Diwu Zhangze sighed.

Dugu Mobao nodded, turned back, and then asked, “How is he recovering now?”

After he tried his best to help Lan Xiao, he fell into a deep sleep and just woke up today.

Diwu Zhangze smiled. “Don’t worry. With such a stupid face, he can’t bear to die just like that. He has pretty much been healing for the past two days. Calculating the time, he should be waking up soon.”

“Who has a stupid face?” A floaty and lazy voice sounded.

The two of them turned around and saw Lan Xiao walk out of the lake.

His figure looked much more solid, and his surrounding aura seemed to return to his previous standard. As for his face… Without a surprise, he had changed to another one.

He looked handsome and cool.

He smiled and glanced at Dugu Mobao, teasing, “You normally don’t really care about me, but at crucial moments, you’re still pretty concerned about me!”

The corner of Diwu Zhangze’s lips twitched. He just survived, and now, he’s courting death again. Indeed, it is hard for a leopard to change its spots.

Dugu Mobao gazed at him expressionlessly and reminded coldly, “Your current face is your Twelfth Junior Brother’s.”

Lan Xiao’s expression changed! Then, he hurriedly looked down and cried.

A handsome face was reflected on the water.

It is no wonder I felt that this face was rather familiar—so it was that beast’s! 

“Why didn’t you say it earlier!?” Before Lan Xiao could even finish his sentence, his figure disappeared below the lake again.

He was gone, but he didn’t forget to grumble, “It has been more than 10,000 years, yet you still remember it so clearly! You pervert!”

Dugu Mobao’s face was nonchalant. “Your brain is just too forgetful.”

Lan Xiao didn’t reply again. He was probably busy tearing that face off.

Diwu Zhangze stuck his thumb up. “You’re indeed the best.”

Dugu Mobao’s brows moved slightly. “How long have I slept for?”

It should be time to return to the academy. 

Diwu Zhangze thought for a moment before answering, “Actually, not for long. About—”

Sha sha! 

Before he could finish his sentence, a sound came from afar!

The two of them immediately became alert!

Dugu Mobao’s expression turned slightly cold, and he was about to take action!

Diwu Zhangze looked afar and hurriedly said, “Wait! It’s Little Hongyu!”

Dugu Mobao knitted his brows even more tightly. I just sent Mu Hongyu to Ling Xiao Academy not long ago. Why did she come back now? 

Suddenly, his expression changed. Something happened!
