The silver light carried a strong gust of wind as it swept towards Lu Ping's neck. It didn't have the coldness of an ordinary weapon, but it was far sharper than a sword. There was a clattering sound as the mountain wall shattered. A deep cut was carved into the mountain wall. The place where the cut was made was Lu Ping's neck. Crimson blood seemed about to spurt out.
"Thank you."
The blood didn't spurt out. Instead, it was Lu Ping's voice.
The people from Black Tortoise Region, who had long since stopped looking over, turned around. Among them was Bi Su. Then everyone's eyes fell on Chen Jian.
Chen Jian was a little dazed. He even looked at his right hand. The cut on the mountain wall was so clear. There was nothing wrong with his attack just now!
Lu Ping's arm had already broken free from the mountain wall, bringing a lot of rubble with it.
"I'm actually stuck. How embarrassing." As Lu Ping spoke, he swung his arms backwards and slammed his palms against the mountain wall. There wasn't much noise, but the mountain rock clearly loosened a lot. His body, which was embedded in the mountain wall, was finally pulled out. Then he fell with the rubble, dusting his hands and shaking his clothes.
The people from Black Tortoise Region just watched in a daze. The students from the other three academies who had just entered the valley felt the strange atmosphere and stopped in place, puzzled.
It wasn't just Chen Jian. Even Bi Su was astonished.
It was Chen Jian's ability that hadn't been able to cut off Lu Ping's head. But it was him who had fixed Lu Ping to the mountain wall.
Bi Su confirmed that Lu Ping wasn't Leng Xiutan. He didn't think much of Lu Ping either. But if anyone thought that he really didn't care about Lu Ping, they would be gravely mistaken.
A person who didn't understand how dangerous it was to be conceited couldn't have lived for so long.
Those who thought Bi Su was arrogant and conceited were just fooled by his appearance.
As soon as he saw Lu Ping, Bi Su was very wary of this youth.
This was because he definitely didn't believe that Island Lord Autumn Water of the Clearyue Academy and Gatemaster Eastwoods of the Southsky Academy were fools. What's more, the two of them had both brought transcendent-grade Deity weapons from their respective academies. Even in such a situation, the person who could still make the two of them look so miserable was not Leng Xiushan. Rather, he could be viewed as one of them. No matter how young the opponent in front of him looked, no matter how ordinary and unremarkable he looked. Bi Su did not underestimate Lu Ping at all.
His seemingly nonchalant attack was more like a sneak attack than a casual one.
He was striking first to gain the upper hand.
After realizing that Lu Ping was definitely not easy to deal with, he quietly launched an extremely tyrannical attack. He had even used the power of the Divine Martial Seal in that attack. If it was really an opponent that he didn't put in his eyes, why would it be like this?
Because of this, Wei Su was even more shocked.
He wasn't careless and didn't go easy. He used the Divine Martial Seal to launch an attack. He was already shocked that Lu Ping wasn't crushed to death. But now, he wasn't even locked in place. Lu Ping had escaped the Divine Martial Seal's lock?
What was it that he was stuck? It was as if he had been smashed into the mountain wall. That troubled him more than the Divine Martial Seal?
Bi Su scanned the mountain wall as he thought. He quickly felt that Lu Ping wasn't bluffing. The beheading attack that Chen Jian had released had cut across Lu Ping's neck. The part that grew out had cut into the mountain wall. That was right above Lu Ping's arms. Under all of this, the mountain wall had been shattered. Just enough to free Lu Ping's arms. That was why he said "thank you".
This kid, he was really troublesome to deal with. Bi Su's face showed surprise. He became even more cautious.
Cloud Clamped Valley.
The Nine Dragons Fire Seal firmly sealed Kuang Jie and his twenty students. Other than being unable to pass through the Fire Prison, the Nine Dragons Fire Seal didn't hinder any of their movements.
Hence, when they saw the Seven Stars Token appear, they knew that something big must have happened to the academy. However, they could only wait anxiously inside the Fire Prison.
The students discussed and came up with several plans, but Kuang Jie rejected all of them. Unconvinced, some students secretly tried to break through the Nine Dragons Fire Seal. Kuang Jie and his nineteen students, as well as a pile of ashes.
As long as they did not try to break out, the Nine Dragons Fire Seal seemed abnormally docile. No matter what supernatural ability they used in the Fire Prison, it would be destroyed. No matter what abilities they used inside the Fire Prison, the Nine Dragons Fire Seal didn't move. However, as long as they tried to break through the fire seal, they would immediately suffer the Nine Dragons Fire Seal's ruthless counterattack.
Last time, they lost an arm. Then, they lost a life. Now, no one dared to act rashly. Seeing the Seven Stars Token appear, everyone turned to look at Kuang Jie. They hoped their teacher had an idea.
Kuang Jie could only reveal a helpless and pained expression. To a loyal Big Dipper disciple, there was nothing more painful than being trapped in the Academy's current predicament, unable to do anything about it.
What could he do?
In truth, Kuang Jie had never stopped thinking. However, in the end, he couldn't think of a solution. As far as he knew, the Nine Dragons Fire Seal was unbreakable, whether from the inside or the outside.
Hence, he even told his students to dispel their hopes of being rescued. In his opinion, there was a higher chance of more Big Dipper Gate disciples being trapped inside the Nine Dragons Fire Seal if someone came to rescue them.
At the very least, they could give these fellow disciples a little warning! Kuang Jie thought. However, he couldn't even think of a solution. The Nine Dragons Fire Seal completely shielded their soul force. They couldn't send out any signals. He couldn't see anything from the outside just by using his inner eyes. The Nine Dragons Fire Seal was an excellent disguise. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fallen for it.
In the end, they couldn't do anything.
This feeling of helplessness tormented Kuang Jie. He didn't even have the heart to lift his head. At this time, a student suddenly shouted, "Someone's coming."
Someone's coming? Friend or foe?
When Kuang Jie heard the student's voice, he immediately raised his head. At this moment, he was looking forward to an enemy that could put an end to them, and not another batch of students trapped inside the Nine Dragons Fire Seal.
However, things didn't go as he wished. Outside the Fire Prison, the thick fog in the Cloud Clamping Valley was pushed away by the heatwave. What appeared in their line of sight were seven disciples from the North Style Academy. They were wearing Dubhe Peak's uniform.
"It's Dubhe Peak's." A student said excitedly. The disciples of the seven peaks gave them some hope.
Who was Dubhe Peak? Kuang Jie, who didn't expect it to be his own people, saw that it was Dubhe Peak's disciples. He carefully looked at the newcomers.
Zhu Ling, Luo Conghan, Dai Nan, Le Fengshan, Li Ya, Qing Huai, Lou Jing.
Kuang Jie knew every single one of the seven people. Dubhe Peak's head disciple Xu Lixue's disciples were all outstanding. However, there was one thing that everyone knew: Xu Lixue's disciples were all outstanding. However, there were only three who could be considered as Xu Lixue's disciples. As for the rest, they all wanted to join Xu Lixue. Xu Lixue didn't accept them, but he didn't reject them either. He would occasionally guide them. As a result, many people followed Xu Lixue vaguely and became his disciples who were part of the sect but were unknown to him.
Even so, these disciples all became very outstanding. It was because Xu Lixue was too good at teaching. As for his three true disciples, they were naturally even more outstanding. Some people even said that their strength was not below the seven disciples.
Among the seven, there was no one who was Xu Lixue's true disciple. However, Kuang Guang, who recognized these seven people, more or less realized the composition of this team from his understanding of them.
This was a small team specially made up for Kuang Jie's shortcomings. The people who sent this team had carefully considered the situation that Kuang Jie and the others might not be able to solve.
However, this situation was the Nine Dragons Fire Seal!
Kuang Jie and the others might not be able to deal with it, but these seven people could make up for their shortcomings. However, this was still not enough to deal with the Nine Dragons Fire Seal!
Don't come together, please don't.
Kuang Jie shouted in his heart. They could see the situation outside the Prison of Fire, but the people outside the Prison of Fire could only see the thick pillar of fire spiraling into the sky.
"Stop!" Outside the Nine Dragons Fire Seal, after seeing the pillar of fire, Zhu Ling immediately waved his hand to stop everyone in their tracks.
His gaze shifted to the left and right. The fog around the pillar of fire had been pushed away by the heat waves, and the scene was clear. However, there was no trace of Kuang Guang and his disciples.
"They disappeared after arriving here," Luo Conghan said after squatting down and carefully looking at the surrounding ground. Along the way, there were traces of Kuang Jie and his disciples, but after they came here, there was no more.
"Something's strange." Luo Conghan stood up and looked at the pillar of fire.
"What kind of trap destroyed them in an instant?" Dai Nan asked.
"The Nine Dragons Fire Seal," someone said.
Nine Dragons Fire Seal?! When Zhu Ling heard this name, his expression froze. He hurriedly looked at the pillar of fire again, but did not dare to act rashly.
But Luo Conghan, who was beside him, jumped up.
"Who are you?" As he shouted, the power of his spirit had already exploded out from his body. Zhu Ling hurriedly turned around. The others also erupted with their power of spirit and instantly surrounded one person.
When they came, there were seven of them, but now, there were actually eight of them. One of them, who no one recognized, had unknowingly appeared among them. It was only when he spoke that everyone actually noticed.
"Don't panic, we're on the same side." The person who was surrounded and was about to be blasted into smithereens by the power of spirit seemed to be the first to panic. He hurriedly raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
Everyone looked and saw that this person was indeed wearing the uniform of the North Style Academy. But at this time, what else could the uniform represent? Everyone looked at each other and could only confirm one thing: no one recognized him.
"I am Fang Yizhu, a famous rogue cultivator from the Southern Mountain Horizontal Courtyard." The surrounded person hurriedly introduced himself.
"Fang Yizhu?" When Luo Conghan heard this name, he seemed to have thought of something. Everyone heard his tone and looked at him.
"The one who swindled the Seven Star Order in a bet during the Seven Star Trial?" Luo Conghan said.
"Hey, I already said it was a bet, why did you say it was a scam?" Fang Yizhu said.
"Why are you here?" Although they recognized Fang Yizhu's identity, his appearance was too strange, so no one dared to lower their guard.
"Aren't I here to take a look like everyone else?" Fang Yizhu said.
"What a coincidence, you also came here?" Luo Conghan said.
