2356 Return

Heaven and Earth Academy.

In a secret chamber on the top floor of a secret pavilion, a medicinal fragrance wafted. Old Xuan a.s.sumed a lotus position on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate. He looked slightly pale and his aura was weak.

All of a sudden, someone suddenly appeared in the secret chamber—it was the Sect Master of the Academy.

“How do you feel after recuperating for a few days?”

The Sect Master of the Academy asked.

“I won’t die just yet.”

Without opening his eyes, Old Xuan asked casually, “Any news of that lad, Su Zimo?”

“He should have already entered h.e.l.l, but his fate is unknown,” The Sect Master of the Academy replied.

“Have any living beings come forth from Avici in the past few days?” Old Xuan asked again.

“No.”

The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head gently.

“You don’t seem worried?” Although Old Xuan did not open his eyes to look, he seemed to be able to read the Sect Master of the Academy’s mind.

“It’s useless to worry.”

The Sect Master of the Academy said, “Furthermore, I just divined a divination for Su Zimo. It seems like he’s managed to turn his misfortunes into blessings.”

“That’s good.”

Old Xuan nodded.

The secret chamber went silent once more.

A moment later, Old Xuan suddenly asked, “Did you manage to find out anything about that long-browed old monk?”

“I’m not sure. I can’t divine him at all.”

The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head gently.

“It’s normal that you can’t divine someone who can see through my Grotto-heaven with a single glance.”

After saying that, Old Xuan did not ask further and continued recuperating.

After a while, the Sect Master of the Academy turned to leave when he saw that Old Xuan did not say anything.

It was only then that Old Xuan opened his eyes slowly and looked in the direction where the Sect Master of the Academy disappeared expressionlessly. He looked for a while in deep thought.

A long time later, Old Xuan took a deep breath and continued healing with his eyes closed.

…

Inner sect of the academy, Qingyun’s cave abode.

Fang Qingyun sat in the middle and rubbed his glabella gently in deep thought.

“Senior Brother Fang, is there anything on your mind?”

Not far away, the person who asked was an inner sect disciple of the academy, a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal named Chang Qi. He was usually very close to Fang Qingyun.

Fang Qingyun was indeed troubled and frustrated over something.

A few days ago, he received a message from Prince Yuan Zuo that the four major factions were annihilated and even Tang Peng died on Great Tie Wei Mountain.

Su Zimo fled into Avici and the others chased after him.

There was no news of them for the past few days and they were most likely dead.

Furthermore, as time pa.s.sed by, the various factions of the Heavenly World gradually realized that none of the cultivators who entered Avici survived!

Many experts gradually realized that Avici might be a trap and forbade disciples from exploring further!

If Su Zimo had fled into Avici, he should have died.

However, the price this time round was way too great!

Tang Peng had followed him for many years in the inner sect. To think that he would die outside this time round.

At the same time that he was sad, Fang Qingyun felt relieved.

Initially, he thought that the alliance of the four factions would definitely be foolproof against a Grade 2 Heaven Immortal. That was the reason why he did not follow them.

To think that that single thought would save his life instead.

However, Fang Qingyun could not tell anyone about this.

Tang Peng’s death could not be blamed on anyone since he joined forces with outsiders to deal with his fellow disciple. However, Fang Qingyun might be implicated if the Grand Elder heard about this.

“How is Yang Ruoxu? He’s not dead yet?”

Fang Qingyun asked with a frown.

Since Su Zimo was already dead, it was useless to keep Yang Ruoxu alive.

Yang Ruoxu knew that he had joined forces with outsiders. The fact that Yang Ruoxu was still alive was a threat to him!

Chang Qi said, “I haven’t found any suitable opportunities during this period of time. Liu Ping and Princess Scarlet Rainbow have been guarding Yang Ruoxu’s cave abode.”

“Even if someone leaves to collect some sect resources, one of them will stay.”

“Both of them are inner sect disciples and we can’t barge in either.”

“Hmph!”

Fang Qingyun said, “If there’s no chance, won’t you create one? If I’m not wrong, you should be cultivating the academy’s Righteousness Sutra as well, right?”

“Yes, we are.”

Chang Qi nodded.

When Fang Qingyun saw that Chang Qi still did not understand, he could not help but frown. “Yang Ruoxu is now a cripple. If the Righteousness Sword is still with him, it’s equivalent to a pearl covered in dust. Go and get it back!”

“Understood!”

Chang Qi’s eyes lit up. “I’ll go right away!”

…

Suddenly, two beams of light shone from the teleportation formation of Heaven and Earth Academy.

Immediately after, a man and woman appeared on the teleportation formation—it was Su Zimo and Fairy Mo Qing who had returned from the Pure Land of Bliss.

“Where are you going?”

Mo Qing turned to look at Su Zimo.

Su Zimo said deeply, “I’m prepared to make a trip to Senior Brother Yang Ruoxu’s place. I have to send the Saraca Fruit over as soon as possible.”

“What happened to him?”

Mo Qing asked.

Su Zimo was surprised and asked, “Senior sister, you don’t know about this?”

Mo Qing shook her head gently.

On second thought, Su Zimo recalled that Senior Sister Mo Qing spent most of her time in seclusion painting and was indifferent to everything in the academy. It was only normal that she did not know about Yang Ruoxu’s situation.

At the very least, that could prove one thing.

There was indeed nothing between Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu.

Otherwise, there was no way Mo Qing would not know that Yang Ruoxu was severely injured.

“Senior Brother Yang was encircled and severely injured. His Essence Spirit is damaged and only the Saraca Fruit can heal him.”

Su Zimo said, “The reason why I headed to Avici this time round was to search for the Saraca Fruit.”

“Oh.”

Mo Qing replied casually, as though she was not concerned about this matter. She nodded and said, “Go on then.”

“What about you, senior sister?”

Su Zimo asked.

Mo Qing said, “I’m returning to my cave abode.”

Pausing momentarily, she pondered for a moment and continued, “If you encounter anything in the future or have any doubts regarding the Dao, you can look for me at the legacy ground.”

“Ah.”

Su Zimo was slightly stunned.

Those did not seem like words that Senior Sister Mo Qing would say.

Given Senior Sister Mo Qing’s character, why would she take the initiative to invite others to her cave abode?

Even Sword Immortal Yue Hua did not receive such treatment!

Just as Su Zimo was puzzled, Fairy Mo Qing had already turned to leave.

She flew through the air and shuttled through the clouds. Sparkles rose from her socks and and the Ice b.u.t.terfly danced around her. The woman and b.u.t.terfly seemed to have fused with the surrounding nature and were graceful.

“Junior Brother Su is a junior from the same sect after all. Furthermore, we’ve experienced this calamity together and it’s only right for me to take care of him in the future.”

Fairy Mo Qing whispered, “Moreover, Junior Brother Su has a deep relations.h.i.+p with that… erm… Fellow Daoist.”

At the thought of that person, Fairy Mo Qing suddenly recalled something and said reproachfully, “Little b.u.t.terfly, why did you fly around Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial to cause trouble when he appeared?”

“You’re not like that usually.”

“It’s strange.”

The Ice b.u.t.terfly said crisply, “I can also sense the aura of our Demon Emperor from that person…”

“Could I have sensed wrongly?”

The Ice b.u.t.terfly’s puzzled voice sounded.
