The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 1337

Chapter 1337: Abandoned Piece’

Chu Liuyue blinked, and her black, gem-like eyes seemed to have faint smiling intent in them.

“It’s all because of your help that we managed to open the Xuan formation and come out.” Elder Hua Feng patted the snow on his body, looked at the dark-blue Xuan formation that had closed up again, and still felt stunned.

He said emotionally, “If you didn’t recall that Xuan formation, I’m afraid we might not even be able to solve this even a month later! Not to mention that although the Xuan formation was broken, it was still very useful, especially the few areas you got wrong…”

Just looking at the messy pattern, he was reminded.

He followed that train of thought and tried to solve the Xuan formation. He indeed succeeded!

“Kid, you’re really our lucky star!” Elder Hua Feng was really convinced. Not only is this kid lucky himself, but the people that follow him also seem to be decently lucky as well. This should be the potential of being a lucky star! I was originally about to give up, but who would’ve known that the light at the end of the tunnel was right there!

Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other and smiled.”Elder, you’re too kind. No matter what, it’s great that I could help.”

The other elders all heaved a sigh of relief respectively, and their gazes toward Chu Liuyue had become kinder like never before.

“Haha, I didn’t expect the Xuan formation Chu Yue forcefully drew out was actually this useful! Chu Yue, you deserve the credit this time!”

“Yeah! Why don’t you follow Elder Hua Feng in the future and cultivate Xuan formations with him? If not, it won’t be presentable if you create such Xuan formations every time!”

…

“I think so too! Anyway, you’re talented. You mustn’t waste it!”

After experiencing this incident, the few elders completely changed their views of Chu Liuyue. Now, they could finally tell that not only did this kid not cause trouble or drag them behind, but he could always help them at crucial moments.

At the very least, they all owed Chu Yue half a favor today.

This sentence caused Elder Hua Feng to be overjoyed. He secretly thought in his heart, After we return from the Flood-Desert Northern Region, I must get this kid to accept me as his mentor! I really can’t miss a disciple with so much potential! Even if I have to steal, I must steal him away!

Seeing Elder Hua Feng’s extremely enthusiastic gaze, Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched as she silently changed the topic. “Elder Bo Yan, since we’re already out, then… Should we find Elder Bo Yan and the rest?”

Once she said this, she immediately reminded them.

“You’re right. We shouldn’t stay here for long. We should leave as soon as possible.” As Elder Hua Feng spoke, he glanced at the Xuan formation again. “I wonder who exactly left this Xuan formation behind…”

Right at this moment—

Bang!

That Xuan formation suddenly broke open from the middle! It formed into countless rays of light that rapidly disappeared from the snowy field!

Elder Hua Feng’s gaze turned cold, and he rapidly went a few steps forward. However, there were already no traces on the snowy ground.

“Cunning!” Elder Hua Feng scolded.

But from this, one could tell how smart the person who prepared the trap was. Firstly, he prepared a trump card, and even if it failed, it wouldn’t leave any traces behind.

The culprit was clearly well-prepared.

“I wonder if Bo Yan and the rest had met with the same circ.u.mstances…” Behind him, an elder spoke with knitted brows.

This was actually what they were worried about all along.

Elder Hua Feng looked up. This land of snow is vast. How are we supposed to find them…

…

At the same time, somewhere in the Flood-Desert Northern Region.

A figure quickly flashed across the acc.u.mulated snow. Different from others, he was moving forward while being half an inch above the ground. Hence, wherever he flew past, the snow was smooth like before, without leaving any traces behind.

Then, he stood still at some point and slapped forward with a palm facing the ground.

Snowflakes flew everywhere! The frozen, black ground was revealed.

He took out an item and knocked it against the ground thrice.

Dong dong dong!

After three blunt sounds, an entrance leading underground suddenly appeared!

Without hesitation, he jumped forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the snowy field!

Not long later, a gust of cold wind blew over, and snow fell down as it silently covered this area.

…

After walking below, it was a long flight of stairs.

On the two walls by the sides of the stairs were many candlelights.

The pale white fire against the long, narrow corridor made it seem even darker and more oppressive than before, even causing one to suffocate. However, that man already seemed used to it as he didn’t slow in his steps and walked down.

After about 15 minutes, he finally reached a large hall downstairs.

The entire hall was empty without a single person, but all four corners of the area had a lantern. The light that came out from them reflected the mysterious statues on the walls and the ceiling.

The centermost area was a gigantic copper mirror. On the edges of that copper mirror, there was a layer of blood that looked extremely frightening.

This scene caused the entire hall’s atmosphere to become especially grave and oppressed.

That man quickly walked to the copper mirror and kneeled on the ground with one knee. “Master, someone broke the ghoul Xuan formation.”

Once he said this, the blood by the edges of the copper mirror suddenly moved and flowed toward the middle. Very quickly, that copper mirror was completely covered by the blood.

At first glance, it seemed like an overflowing sea of blood!

A hoa.r.s.e and low voice came from within. “Oh? He’s here?”

“Master, it doesn’t seem like it’s him.” The man kneeling on the ground hung his head even lower. “It is an elder from Ling Xiao Academy. If I haven’t guessed wrongly, he should be a Great King Xuan Master.”

“Great King Xuan Master? How long did he take?”

“Just.. four hours.”

Once the man said this, the blood on the copper mirror seemed to tumble. After a moment, laughter sounded. “Since when can a Great King Xuan Master solve the ghoul Xuan formation so quickly?”

“…Everything I say is true!” Beads of cold sweat formed on the forehead of the man on the ground.

“Watch them closely first and see what else he can do. What about… the other people?”

“Master, other than a dozen-plus people escaping, the other people from Ling Xiao Academy have already been controlled.”

The man in the copper mirror paused for a moment, and his voice became especially dangerous. “Escaped? Dozen-plus?!”

Thump!

The man kneeling on the floor immediately kowtowed sincerely in horror. “Master, Bo Yan and the rest are really cunning. I was negligent for a moment, s—it’s all because I’m incompetent. Master, please punish me!”

“Immediately go and check! You can’t let any of those people from Ling Xiao Academy go!”

“Yes! Yes!” That man kowtowed a few more times horrifyingly before he stood up and left gingerly.

But the moment he took a few steps out, he heard a voice from behind. “Where’s Mu Qinghe?”

With a conflicted expression, that man paused in his tracks and hesitated while turning around. “Um… Master, he previously didn’t listen to your instructions and insisted on staying in Tianling. Hasn’t he become an abandoned chess piece already? You…”

“An abandoned chess piece has its own uses. Since he doesn’t want to come back, then ‘invite’ him back.”

“…Yes!”

After his figure disappeared, the blood on the copper mirror dissipated.

Not long later, everything returned to normal.
