About three hundred and eighty kilometers away from the Big Dipper Mountain, there was a small town that had been abandoned for who knew how long.
The decorated archway at the entrance of the town had long since been destroyed, leaving behind only three pillars that were less than half a person tall. They were now polished to a bright shine, revealing the vermilion paint that had been obscured by dust and sand for who knew how long. It was a strange sight.
The town behind the three pillars was still as quiet and dilapidated as ever. As the wind blew past, the yellow soil on the ground tumbled and crashed into the dilapidated walls.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except for the three broken pillars that didn't seem to match their surroundings.
A bird flew past in the sky. It looked a little tired as it stared at the branch of the withered tree in the town.
The bird swooped down, but when it was about a hundred meters away from the withered tree, it suddenly disappeared into thin air. Not even a feather was left behind.
The wind was still blowing as if nothing had happened. Only one of the three broken pillars flickered the moment the bird disappeared.
Then, a person walked out from behind the three broken pillars and looked around vigilantly. He was wearing the unique water play uniform of the Que Yue Academy. There was a "One" embroidered on his shoulder, revealing his identity. This person was actually a Que Yue First Rank student.
"It's just a bird, isn't it?" A voice and a figure appeared from behind the three broken pillars. This time, this person wasn't wearing a water polo uniform. Instead, he was dressed in the most common martial attire of the continent. A black belt was tied neatly around his waist, and the tail of the belt hung quietly at his waist, not swaying in the wind.
Those who knew their stuff would be able to immediately guess that this person was from the Black Tortoise Academy, one of the four great academies. Moreover, he was a black sash disciple. His strength and status were on par with the rank one student.
"Yes." The student who had just passed the first grade nodded and said.
"That's good. The South Sky Academy has already sent word that the sky luo region has been mobilized. They may come to our aid at any time, "the black sash disciple said.
"Go and make your preparations," the rank one student said.
"Mm," the black sash disciple responded. The two of them then looked around again. Then, they took a step back. When they passed the three broken pillars, they disappeared again.
The deserted town continued to look like it had been abandoned. There was no one within a radius of tens of miles, so no one noticed it. Today, regardless of whether it was birds, beasts, or insects, as long as they came within a certain range of the town, they would vanish into thin air. No one would ever find out that this entire town was shrouded in a great ability, a great customization.
North Style Academy. Phecda Peak.
The two academicians, Wang Xin and Li Yaotian, led a few students and rushed to Phecda Peak. Not long after reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Yaotian stopped and carefully sensed his surroundings.
"This place …" Wang Xin also sensed that something was amiss. This area seemed to have been invaded by soul force, and it had been set up. However, Li Yaotian was the expert when it came to customizing abilities, so Wang Xin naturally trusted Li Yaotian's judgment more.
"It seems to be the Dream Token," Li Yaotian said with a frown.
"Qiyue College's Dream Token?" Wang Xin asked.
"The people on the continent who can use the Dream Token aren't limited to people from Lack Yue College," said Li Yaotian.
Wang Xin didn't say anything. He hoped that what Li Yaotian said was true. If the person who set up the Dream Token here was really someone from Que Yue Academy … The problem would probably be much more complicated and serious.
The group didn't stop and continued forward. Soon, they arrived at the pavilion.
There were traces of battle everywhere, including a corner of the mountain path that had been destroyed by Lu Ping. The Que Yue disciple who had fallen here had long since disappeared.
Li Yaotian looked at the traces of battle and glanced at Wang Xin.
"This wasn't Sun Jianzhao's attack." Wang Xin shook his head. Whether it was Sun Jianzhao's Sound Turn or Divine Armament, Hundred Li Seizing Autumn, the techniques he used emphasized control and precision. Such crude destruction was definitely not Sun Jianzhao's means.
What kind of battle had happened here? Just based on these traces, the two academicians and their students couldn't discover much.
They didn't have time to waste here. After leaving one student behind to study, the rest of them continued up the mountain path.
The scenery on the side of the road was quickly left behind. No one was more familiar with Phecda Peak's mountain path than Wang Xin and his students. After a short distance, they all sensed that something was wrong.
"Don't act rashly," Li Yaotian said in a deep voice.
He also sensed that something was wrong. They seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion. As for when they fell for it, even Li Yaotian didn't notice.
"Island Master Yuan, is that you?" Li Yaotian asked in a clear voice.
One of the five island masters of Que Yue Academy, Yuan Fei, who was representing Que Yue Academy to watch the Seven Star Trial. He was a master of this type of illusion ability.
It really was Que Yue Academy?
Wang Xin was shocked.
Yuan Fei's voice was extremely faint, "Brother Yaotian guessed that it was me. Is it because you have confidence in your own strength?"
North Style Academy's Yu Heng Academy's Li Yaotian was a custom-made ability expert. The ability that he specialized in disappeared was also this kind of custom-made ability that caused people to be trapped in an illusion. To be able to make Li Yaotian fall into a custom-made ability, it would be hard to believe that the other party didn't have the same level of strength as him.
And there weren't many people with this kind of strength in the entire continent. Right now, other than Yuan Fei, Li Yaotian couldn't think of a second person in North Style Academy.
Therefore, Li Yaotian asked this question.
Therefore, Yuan Fei replied like this.
When he replied, Li Yaotian looked at Wang Xin.
Wang Xin shook his head, "The voice is also an illusion."
Wang Xin was an expert of the Soul of Cry. However, he failed to determine Yuan Fei's location from the voice. This faint voice was very fragmented and was disguised by an illusion. It was impossible to determine the origin of the voice.
"Brother Yaotian, is it possible to break my mirage?" The faint voice sounded again.
"What's your goal?" Li Yaotian asked.
"Let's break this mirage first."
"Ha!" At the same time the faint voice sounded again, Wang Xin suddenly let out an explosive shout. The Soul of Cry spread out in all directions. The surrounding scenery seemed to be shaking. And Yuan Fei's faint voice seemed to have been reorganized after this explosive shout, becoming clearer and more precise. Wang Xin waved his finger, and the scattered Soul of Cry immediately gathered and shot towards the void.
Bo bo bo bo … …
As if the layers of lightning had been pierced, the surrounding scenery once again shook violently. Wang Xin's attack seemed to have been swallowed up by the void, but his expression seemed to be extremely confident.
"You talk so much. Do you really think I won't be able to find you?" Wang Xin said as he turned his body and looked in a certain direction. The force of his spirit seemed to have taken a turn and exploded in the direction he was looking at.
"What a great Sonic Strike. As expected of Academician Tianji."
The voice was no longer faint, but came from the direction Wang Xin was looking at. The surrounding scenery shook, and the disguise was removed. However, it wasn't just Yuan Fei who appeared in front of them, but also Southern Sky Academy's Gate Master Cheng Luozhu.
"You guys …" Wang Xin was stunned. It wasn't just Queyue Academy who had caused trouble, but Southern Sky Academy as well. But weren't these people supposed to be at the Sevenstar Tower? Wang Xin didn't believe that they could have moved so much faster than him and Li Yaotian. Not only did they arrive here first, but they also set up such a huge custom.
If that was the case, then it could only be that they had been here all along.
Then who were Island Master Yuan and Gate Master Cheng Luozhu at the top of the Sevenstar Tower?
Many questions flashed through his mind like lightning, but an extremely surging Soul of Cry had already descended from the sky, filled with a dangerous and invasive aura.
Star Danger Hundred Feet!
It was a killing move, an offensive that didn't pay attention to anything else. The dangerous Soul of Cry continued to attack. The rainbow belt was swung straight in the air, like a sharp sword.
Not only did Queyue Academy and Southern Sky Academy come, but one of the seven constellations of Black Tortoise Academy was also here — Wei Su.
