Whis was truly going crazy. The circumstances of that day kept replaying in his mind. After being thrown out by Solan, he spent a full ten days to shake off the Desolate Overlord's pursuit, but he paid a huge price. Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also burned by two withering flames. If he couldn't find a Heaven Rank powerhouse to help him extinguish the withering flames, it wouldn't take long for his soul to be burnt to ashes.
Even when fighting Solan, he had no choice but to use a part of his power to suppress the withering flames to prevent them from corroding his soul too quickly.
The moment he was thrown out by Solan, he swore in his heart that if he could survive, he would definitely kill Solan!
The disciple that he had wholeheartedly nurtured for dozens of years had actually dug his own grave at the critical moment. No matter who it was, they would probably go crazy from anger. If Whis had not experienced great storms and waves, he would probably have vomited blood from anger at that moment.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to escape the Desolate Overlord's pursuit and find Solan!
The moment he saw Solan, all of his resentment erupted.
But after exchanging blows with Solan, his heart turned cold.
Because he discovered that Solan Monchi wasn't the same Solan Monchi as before.
5th Rank Archmage!
A genuine 5th Rank Archmage! He, who had fallen to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, was actually unable to deal with Solan. This was hard for him to accept.
Solan's expression was frighteningly gloomy. When he first discovered Whis, he had indeed panicked. He clearly understood his teacher's strength. Without the power of a 6th Rank Archmage, it would be impossible to survive against his teacher, let alone a 5th Rank Archmage like himself.
But then, he discovered that his teacher's condition was somewhat bad. His cultivation had fallen to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, and the power he could display was even a bit inferior to his own.
"Whis, do you remember? Three years ago, in the Dark Azure Plane, I entered a ruin and almost died before coming out with a True Spirit Magic Tool. But you forced me to hand over the True Spirit Magic Tool. To be honest, I have had enough of a scoundrel teacher like you. If not for my fear of your strength, I would have fallen out with you long ago! "You didn't need to be so angry about what happened two months ago, we are even. I won't look into the matter of that True Spirit Magic Tool …"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, not only did Whis not intend to stop, but his attacks became even fiercer, and dazzling wind spells whistled towards him.
Solan's expression couldn't help but sink. He could see that Whis wanted to go all out against him.
During these ten days, he had been swallowing his anger at all times, afraid that he would accidentally provoke Mafa Merlin and lose his life. One Mafa Merlin was enough to make him distressed, and now there was Whis …
Damn it, do you all want me to die?
At most, they would perish together!
Solan's eyes were red as he stared at Weiss. He hardened his heart and burst with the power of a 5th Rank Archmage.
This ten-minute battle could only be described as intense. Both sides had the power of 5th Rank Archmages, and they didn't hold anything back. They both wanted to kill the other.
They used to be master and disciple, but now they had become mortal enemies.
This was truly ironic …
The most exciting part of this battle was that Whis and Solan kept exposing each other's shortcomings, to the point that the two of them were exposed for all to see. Everyone, including Lin Yun, was tongue-tied when they heard this. How was this a battle? This was clearly a shouting match.
Whether it was Whis or Solan, they were both like arrows at the end of their flight. From the start of the clash of High Tier Spells to the 2nd Tier Spells, it could be seen that the two of them didn't have much mana left.
But Whis was in a more difficult situation. He already had many injuries on his body, and now there were new ones.
"Hurry up and stop …"
At this moment, Lin Yun, who had been watching the battle, had a drastic change in his expression as he let out a deep voice. Just a moment ago, the control system he had dismantled from the Heaven Puppet had suddenly shown some movement.
This change caused his heart to skip a beat. It was as if there was a power controlling the control system.
He couldn't help recalling the scene of the thousand puppets recklessly charging towards them when they first arrived at the 10th Floor. After discovering the puppet in the workshop, he had guessed that it had been caused by the puppet when it was alive, but it now looked like that wasn't the case.
If the control system hadn't been dismantled from the Heaven Puppet, then that Heaven Puppet might have been controlled by that power and attacked them.
'What kind of existence is able to control puppets and forcibly change their programming?'
His intuition told him that something big was about to happen, which was why he shouted to stop the fight between Solan and Weiss. If he continued to stay here, there might be trouble.
But …
Solan and Whis acted as if they hadn't heard him and were still casting spells. In fact, the two of them were already bloodshot, and their hatred had reached a point where they wouldn't rest until one of them was defeated or died.
Lin Yun frowned, his expression frighteningly cold. He suddenly rushed into the battlefield and used Fire Elemental Incarnation. With a Flame Flash, he instantly appeared in front of Solan and Whis. He didn't even say anything as he instantly cast seven Ice Walls, separating the two of them. He then pointed the Doom Staff in his hand and two Flame Shackles wrapped around Solan and Whis.
Flame Shackles was only a 2nd Rank Spell. Normally, even with a frightening buff, this 2nd Rank Spell wouldn't be able to restrain a 5th Rank Archmage for even a second.
But this was clearly a special situation.
Solan and Whis, who had almost exhausted their mana, were tightly bound by the raging Flame Shackles and couldn't struggle free. Whis was glaring at Lin Yun with an ashen expression.
As for Solan …
Solan recalled that Lin Yun had previously told them to stop. At the time, he had been completely focused on the battle and hadn't paid attention, but now that he thought about it, he was scared. He was afraid that Lin Yun would do the same thing ten days ago and torture him again.
"High Mage Merlin, you, you … What do you want to do? This is a matter between me and Whis, please don't get involved …"
Solan looked at Lin Yun with fear, his hands and feet shaking uncontrollably. But he was a bit unwilling to let Whis die just like that.
To tell the truth, he had the courage to say those words. His fear of Lin Yun couldn't be described with words.
He couldn't help shivering as he recalled that inhumane torture ten days ago. At that time, Mafa Merlin had treated him as a guinea pig. It took him no less than ten days to recover from his injuries, but it had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
The other side even seemed to have done something to his body. Just now, when he tried to struggle free from the Flame Shackles, he clearly felt the mana within his Mana Whirlpool become chaotic. Fortunately, he didn't have much mana left at that time. If it had been at any other time, the mana within his Mana Whirlpool would have been severely damaged, even if he didn't die.
"If you want to live, shut up …"
Lin Yun coldly glanced at Solan. It was only a slight movement, but it made Solan feel a chill down his spine. He shrunk his neck and couldn't stop shivering, not daring to say anything.
"Everyone, hurry up and leave this place! Go to the 9th Floor as fast as possible! Cousin William, you lead the way …" Lin Yun, who was in his Fire Elemental state, anxiously shouted as he dragged Weiss and Solan with him as he appeared in front of everyone with a Flame Flash.
"Okay …"
Among these people, William Merlin naturally understood Lin Yun the most. Hearing Lin Yun's anxious voice, he immediately knew that something big was about to happen. He answered and cast Haste on himself before rushing towards the passage leading to the 9th Floor.
Delson's group was stunned at first, but they then followed behind William Merlin and Lin Yun.
"Rumble!"
A world-shaking sound echoed as the huge forge in the center of the workshop suddenly exploded and a Planar Path appeared. One puppet after another rushed out of the Planar Path.
Following that loud sound, Delson's group, who had been running towards the passage, realized that something big was about to happen, but they didn't dare to turn around.
After running for a while, they finally reached the entrance of the passage. Lin Yun threw Whis and Solan on the ground, not even bothering to look at them. He turned to look at the alchemy workshop and discovered that it had already been submerged by countless puppets.
'Puppet Plane …'
When the forge exploded and the Planar Path appeared, Lin Yun immediately noticed that the Planar Path led to the Puppet Plane!
The current era was just the beginning of the multiplication of planes. The known planes were probably not even a tenth of the peak of the Magic Era. As for the Puppet Plane, it was also an undiscovered plane.
The name 'Puppet Plane' would spread throughout Noscent roughly three millennia later, when a Heaven Mage discovered the coordinates of the Puppet Plane and entered it.
But that Heaven Mage then discovered that the Puppet Plane was an extremely terrifying place. There were endless puppets that didn't know fatigue and didn't fear death. Even the most powerful mage would run out of mana when dealing with countless puppets. After that Heaven Mage came out of the Puppet Plane, he told everyone about his experiences in the Puppet Plane.
Up until the peak of the Magic Era, a few major forces of Noscent united and spent a huge amount of money to conquer the Puppet Plane. In a way, the danger of the Puppet Plane wasn't inferior to the Undead Plane, but the wealth it contained couldn't be underestimated.
