Chapter 1382: Old Acquaintance
The crowd waiting outside was even more shocked than Chu Liuyue. Most of them were deciding between patiently waiting or thinking of a way to barge in.
Actually, everyone was tempted, but the previous few incidents were enough for them to calm down and try their best to find the best solution.
However, n.o.body expected that someone would rush over, barge in, and be a step ahead of them before they could do anything.
In the sky, a few figures wearing black robes attacked directly below!
Elder Hua Feng went on his toes and rapidly flew up. “Who are you?!”
The other party had roughly about seven or eight people, and all of them covered their faces so that they couldn’t be seen. However, their auras were very strong, and all of them were legendary warriors!
This was especially so for the man at the front. His body was slightly curved like an elder, and his aura was hidden—one couldn’t even discern his cultivation level!
Elder Hua Feng’s heart sank. The other party directly rushed over like this. They should’ve long been prepared!
All these people didn’t care about Elder Hua Feng as they kept attacking below. It was as if they wanted to destroy the entire tomb!
Crack!
A large crack appeared on the rock at the top.
“You—” Elder Hua Feng’s expression changed. Before he could say anything, he suddenly saw a figure rush out from below.
Slim and long with agile movements—it was precisely Chu Liuyue!
Chu Liuyue nodded toward Elder Hua Feng.
The latter hesitated for a moment but still took a few steps back. However, his heart was filled with worry as he stared at the two parties in a stalemate without even blinking.
Chu Liuyue stood in the air and was opposite the other party. She quickly looked at the other party and realized that she didn’t know them. However, their sinisterly cold aura was rather familiar.
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes and suddenly smiled. “May I know why all of you respected individuals came here today?”
The elder at the front had an icy and nonchalant voice. “My master wants to see you.”
Chu Liuyue was dazed at first and raised her brows slightly. “Who… is your master? If he wants to see me, he should at least tell me his ident.i.ty, right?”
“You don’t have the right to ask about this yet.” That elder seemed to look down on Chu Liuyue as he said every single word without allowing her to go against him. “Just follow us over. If not, all the people here will pay the price for your choice.”
This elder’s tone was calm as if he were just narrating something ordinary.
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. Ancestor is still in a crucial period. If I leave, I don’t know what will happen later.
However, the elder’s second sentence rapidly made Chu Liuyue change her mind. “Don’t worry. An old friend of yours is there too. You haven’t seen him in a long time; it’s time to see him.”
Chu Liuyue clenched her fists tightly. “Who?”
That elder glanced at her with a deep meaning. “Mu Qinghe.”
Immediately, Chu Liuyue said, “I’ll go with you!”
“Chu Yue?!” Elder Hua Feng was taken aback and hurriedly advised her, “Chu Yue, think carefully!”
With just one look, these people are obviously up to no good. Won’t it be very dangerous to leave with them? It would be hard to even escape by then!
Chu Liuyue shook her head lightly. “Elder Hua Feng, I must make this trip. Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing.”
Seeing that she had a persistent att.i.tude, Elder Hua Feng opened his mouth and could only shake his head with a sigh in the end. Who exactly is that Mu Qinghe? When Chu Yue heard his name, his expression immediately changed. He wanted to leave with them without a care for the danger. If something really happens—
Chu Liuyue looked at that elder. “Let’s go!”
…
The few of them surrounded Chu Liuyue and flew toward the Flood-Desert Northern Region’s depths. Their figures quickly disappeared before the crowd.
Only when the crowd was certain that they completely couldn’t see them anymore did they look at Elder Hua Feng and the others with incredulous expressions. “Where are those people from?”
“I can’t tell… but they’re not weak, especially the person talking. I’m afraid not many of us would be his match.”
“But they don’t seem to be from an aristocratic family in the G.o.d Residence Realm…”
“Why did they call Chu Yue to go over? And they even said that an old friend wanted to meet her… Who is that Mu Qinghe?”
The crowd partook in heated discussions, and they were all confused.
s.h.i.+ Rui’er looked at Elder Hua Feng. She couldn’t help but ask softly, “Elder, are we really going to just watch? What if Chu Yue—”
He obviously isn’t those people’s match! What will happen if something happens to him because he just followed them?
Elder Hua Feng closed his eyes. “Chu Yue… doesn’t want us to follow him… He probably has another plan…”
“But his abilities are limited, and he’s alone. What other plan can he have?” s.h.i.+ Rui’er furrowed her brows tightly. Chu Yue saved me previously, so I’m filled with grat.i.tude toward him and don’t want him to be in trouble at all.
Elder Hua Feng was about to say something when he suddenly felt a tingle. He turned his palm and held a green jade plaque—this was Elder Bo Yan’s one.
The star on it suddenly exploded into a bright ray of light! A strong summon was coming from within!
Elder Hua Feng was stunned and elated. “Bo Yan is looking for us!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd from Ling Xiao Academy rushed over.
The few elders had very nervous expressions. “Is it true? It won’t be another mistake like the previous time, right?”
They had already suffered once!
Elder Hua Feng held the green jade plaque in his hands tightly.”No, it’s real this time! Such a signal will only appear if the owner of the green jade plaque is at risk of losing their life. Bo Yan and the others’ situation probably isn’t optimistic.”
Once he said this, the crowd exchanged glances and fell silent.
“Then, we…”
On the one hand, it was Chu Yue. On the other hand, it was Bo Yan and the rest… It was really hard to decide.
Elder Hua Feng clenched his fists tightly. After much thinking, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. “Let’s find Bo Yan and the rest!”
As for Chu Yue… Since he dares to go, he will definitely have the confidence to come back! Besides, those people that previously appeared are strong. Only by finding the other people from the academy do we have a chance of beating the other party. If we suddenly go over now, we won’t help the situation.
After making the decision, the people from Ling Xiao Academy rapidly gathered together and left without any reluctance.
They left Jin Di and the rest in a confused state. They just… left? First, Chu Yue was taken away. Next, the people from Ling Xiao Academy quickly left. Do they really not want to continue staying here?
Jin Di couldn’t help but look at the gigantic tomb, and he shockingly discovered that the silver barrier was still there.
He clenched his teeth and looked at the crowd. “Whoever wants to go in, take a step forward! Let’s work together! If we find any treasures inside, we’ll split them! How does that sound?”
