There was someone in the crevice?
Lu Ping and the others were shocked. Although they had let down their guard to a certain extent after hiding here, the crevice was not very big. It was not normal for them to not notice the presence of someone at such a distance.
Guo Youdao looked at everyone's shocked expression and showed a proud expression. "It seems that it was very effective after a simple lesson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in the crevice finally walked out. She looked timid, but when she looked at Lu Ping and Su Tang, her eyes were full of gratitude.
"It's you!"
Everyone immediately recognized the timid girl who walked out. Wasn't she the sword-carrying maid of the young lady of the Qin family, Qin Sang? Lu Ping, Su Tang, Wei Ming, and Wei Zhong from the Castellan's mansion had fought on Zhiling Street, but it was all for the sake of saving this girl who had nothing to do with them — — Ling Ziyan.
However, Ling Ziyan did not seem to be in good spirits. After walking out, she had been holding the stone wall with one hand as support.
Everyone looked at Guo Youdao. Of course, they still had to rely on Guo Youdao to explain this matter.
"If you want her to escape from her situation, death is the only way," Guo Youdao said.
What was Ling Ziyan's situation at that time? Lu Ping and Su Tang, the two fellows who risked their lives to help, did not fully understand the situation. They just could not bear to watch it. However, the practitioners who had a certain understanding of the struggle between families and forces could quickly understand the crux of the matter.
The skills that Ling Ziyan displayed made the Qin family feel a sense of crisis. The other forces would see this as a weapon that could be used to threaten the Qin family.
A man's wealth was his own ruin.
Just like that, Ling Ziyan became the center of a whirlpool. Other than death, there was indeed no way to completely resolve this whirlpool.
"So, that person was you?" Lu Ping asked.
"That's right. I'm the one who killed them, and I'm the one who saved them," Guo Youdao said.
"But I really thought she was dead," Lu Ping said.
"It's just a cover-up," Guo Youdao said concisely. An ability that could cause the entire continent's experts to misunderstand, this was just a small matter. In his opinion, it wasn't worth writing home about.
Then, everyone understood why Guo Youdao said that there was still one less recommendation letter. As long as Ling Ziyan was still alive, she could fall into the maelstrom at any time. She also needed the protection of the four academies.
Ling Ziyan had obviously heard the conversation between these people. She had only met these people by chance. Even though they did not know each other, they had already received a great favor from them. How could they still dare to compete with them for the recommendation quota?
"I … I don't need it, really, thank you …" Ling Ziyan was a little flustered as she declined. But she couldn't say anything forceful. She was so anxious that she was sweating.
From Guo Youdao's gaze, Chu Min had already read some meaning.
"Leave her to me!" With regards to Guo Youdao's intention, Chu Min was very satisfied. Not only did she not need to look for protection, but she could instead protect someone.
"Hehe," Guo Youdao smiled and didn't say anything else. He already knew that this arrangement was the most suitable for Chu Min's character.
Since the arrangements had been made, Guo Youdao immediately signaled the four to come up and take the recommendation letters, "Pick whatever you want. Go to whichever school you pick." Four recommendation letters were directed to four different academies.
Lu Ping and Su Tang looked at each other. This kind of separation was, of course, not something they were willing to do.
"If we run away like this, what about the academies? What about the others? "Siffin suddenly said.
Guo Youdao glanced at Siffin, and in the end, his gaze fell on Lu Ping more seriously.
"Lu Ping, you have to remember." He even directly mentioned Lu Ping's name, "It's not smart to show a strong desire to protect something that must be protected. Sometimes. You even need to stay away from her. "
Obviously, he was referring to Lu Ping. Everyone knew that he was referring to Su Tang.
And this was more or less an answer to Siffin's question.
Everyone quickly understood the meaning behind Guo Youdao's words: things that they valued too much. Something that he valued too much would fall into the eyes of his opponents and enemies.
"Of course, if you have enough power, then it's a different matter …" When Guo Youdao said this, he slightly clenched his fist, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the Zhenfeng College at the foot of the mountain.
"It's a rare occasion. I'm not the robber that everyone thinks I am. "Guo Youdao's expression was actually a little down. Previously, when he mentioned that he had deceived the world and was misunderstood by others because he was afraid of the five spirits, he did not feel the slightest bit guilty. Instead, his face was full of pride. But now, he was a little disappointed and a little annoyed. This was because he did not have true power, so he could not stand out to protect Zhenfeng College. When two experts with four spirits stood in front of him, he clearly knew that he, in fact, was not a match for them.
"That's it!" Guo Youdao stood up and took a deep breath.
"If you leave, Zhenfeng College will be fine," he said.
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, there would be a loud bang. A huge cloud of dust formed into a mushroom cloud that rose from the Zhenfeng College at the foot of the mountain. Guo Youdao's expression immediately became gloomy. The others rushed to the cracks in the rocks and looked down. It was too far away, so they could not see too clearly. But after all, this was a place where they had lived for a long time, so they could roughly make a judgment. Zhenfeng College's Zhai Feng Building had already disappeared after the cloud of dust rose, leaving behind only a pile of rubble.
The main building of Zhenfeng College had already been demolished. Would Zhenfeng College be fine? Obviously, this was just wishful thinking.
"Let's go!" Guo Youdao, who had the highest cultivation level, seemed to have sensed something. With a wave of his hand, four recommendation letters had already been stuffed into the hands of the four people.
"Go up, continue to follow me carefully." Guo Youdao leaped out from the cracks in the rocks and continued to jump along the mountain wall. Drops of blood that could be seen with the naked eye were blown away by the wind as he jumped.
"Quick!" Chu Min urged the others. She grabbed Morin with one hand and rushed over to pull Ling Ziyan with her hand.
The mountain wind was stronger at high altitudes. At this moment, Chu Min was already multitasking. She grabbed one person with each hand and jumped up by herself while looking after Siffin so that he would not be blown away by the wind.
This short moment of rest in the cracks in the rocks was not enough. Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered. Fortunately, this place was not too far from the top of the mountain. Seeing that the top of the mountain was only a step away, Guo Youdao let out a sigh of relief. He took one last breath and leaped up, but his expression immediately became gloomy. He hurriedly turned back, but Lu Ping, Su Tang, and Siffin had already followed quickly. Only Chu Min, who was the last, saw Guo Youdao's warning look. In his open palm, there was a Spirit Force that prevented her from going up.
Chu Min knew that the situation was not good. She did not take the last step to the top of the mountain. Instead, she forcibly twisted her body and fell straight down. She hurriedly controlled the Spirit of Qi to roll up a hurricane. Unfortunately, she was carrying two people at a time, and the weight had exceeded the limit of her flight. Her body was still falling very quickly, getting closer and closer to the ground. Chu Min could even see clearly that at the foot of the mountain, the secret agents of the City Lord's Mansion and the guards of the Garrison Army were already waiting.
Chu Min's eyes turned quickly and glanced at the mountain wall diagonally below. A small green pine stubbornly squeezed out of the cracks in the rocks.
"Be careful." Chu Min said to Morin, who was in her hand, and then raised her hand. The wind rolled up Morin and sent him falling towards the pine tree. But this sudden change caught Morin off guard. The recommendation letter given to him by Guo Youdao was actually swept away by the wind. Morin hurriedly stretched out his hand, but still could not catch it. Seeing that the letter kept floating between the mountain walls along with the wind brought by Chu Min, Morin, who had landed on the tree, looked at Chu Min and the others through the gaps of the leaves. He saw that Chu Min continued to fall with Ling Zimin. A crazy hurricane had already rolled up, and the people at the foot of the mountain could not open their eyes. Obviously, it was to help Morin cover their tracks.
At the same time, the two of them, minus Mo Lin's weight, gradually came to a stop in the wild wind. Just a few meters before they landed, they suddenly changed direction and rode the wind, rushing in another direction along the mountain wall.
"They went that way!!" Of course, the people from the City Lord's Mansion would not give up just like that. They constantly called for their companions and gathered people to chase in the direction of the hurricane.
There was a moment of silence at the foot of the mountain, but some distance away, there was already a crowd of people moving. Morin knew that this was his only chance to escape. Without thinking too much, he stuck close to the almost straight mountain wall and immediately slid down.
Morin's physique was not strong and he was already heavily injured. This fall further injured him, but he gritted his teeth and did not make the slightest sound. Looking up, the recommendation letter was still floating on the mountain wall, but Morin did not have the time to wait for it to fall. Thinking back to the direction of the City Lord's Mansion's people, he chose a direction and immediately stumbled in that direction. On the way, he could not help but turn back to look at the top of the mountain.
His Rushing Soul was only at the second layer, so he could not see clearly what was at the top of the mountain. But he knew that something must have happened there, which caused Chu Min to change direction at the last moment and fall down the mountain again. And then, Chu Min brought Ling Ziyan to distract the enemies guarding here. Could it be that in the end, he was the only one who survived?
Morin did not feel the slightest bit lucky, but he also did not want to give up this hard-won opportunity.
He ran madly in Zhenfeng College. He did not live here for long, but he was very familiar with the terrain. This was the place he had explored when he first came to Zhenfeng College to assassinate Lu Ping.
