"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother Chen Chu!"
"Teacher Chen Chu!!"
"Why are you here?"
On Alioth Peak, Chen Chu charged out of the central boundary of the Seven Elements Relief and immediately fell to the ground. The wound on his right shoulder where his right arm had been chopped off instantly sprayed blood all over the ground. The disciples of the Alioth Sect were stunned to see Chen Chu suddenly appear. Then, seeing that he was so heavily injured, they all turned pale with fright and quickly gathered. Among them were Chen Chu's peers, and also disciples of these peers who addressed Chen Chu as Teacher. Chen Chu himself did not have any disciples.
"It's Jin Qi. Prepare to attack." Chen Chu gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he turned his head to look behind him. He did not have the time to explain in detail as he hurriedly said this.
Everyone was slightly taken aback, but they all subconsciously prepared to attack. But no one else came out of the open space in front of the peak, only the blood that Chen Chu had just spilled.
After a while, everyone came to their senses. Jin Qi, the head disciple of Megrez Peak, the mastermind of the theft of the seven storehouses. He was originally to be dealt with after the Seven Star Trial, but there was news that someone had taken advantage of the Seven Star Trial to rescue Jin Qi. Who would have thought that this fellow did not take the opportunity to escape, but actually snuck into the central boundary of the Seven Elements Relief? This was ruining the grand customization! Thinking of this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. They were completely unaware that someone had snuck into the central boundary of the grand customization. This was a dereliction of duty. Previously, when the Seven Elements Relief had failed halfway through its activation, it was all because of this fellow's sabotage.
And this was all because of their dereliction of duty, allowing Senior Brother Chen Chu to be injured to such a state … Seeing Chen Chu's right arm severed, everyone was even more indignant. But Jin Qi still did not appear. Everyone could not help but look towards Chen Chu.
Chen Chu's heart sank when he saw that Jin Qi did not give chase. He had planned to get someone else to do his dirty work when he was preparing to escape. But Jin Qi did not fall for it and did not immediately give chase. If he delayed any longer, and Li Yaotian woke up, he would not be able to confuse the truth. He could use Jin Qi's current status as a criminal, and even discredit Huo Ying, but Li Yaotian was not someone he could touch.
"Activate Trapped Beast," Chen Chu immediately said. The trapped beast was a part of the central barrier. Although this was the core part of the Seven Elements Relief, the North Style Academy did not neglect the possibility of the central control being infiltrated. Therefore, in the custom-made contents of the central barrier. Hence the Beast Trapping Arcana.
"Trapped beast? Academician and Huo Ying are also inside! "someone shouted.
At this time, Chen Chu's face was full of sorrow. He said with great pain, "I … didn't protect them well."
"The academician is dead?"
"Teacher is dead?"
"Senior Brother Huo Ying …"
Many people stayed where they were.
When they saw Li Yaotian and Huo Ying walk into the central barrier with their weak bodies, many people already had a bad premonition. But now, because of such an external cause. Their teacher, academician, their former head disciple, and their eldest senior brother died.
"Prepare to trap the beasts!" A roar came from one of Li Yaotian's direct disciples. Everyone's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and they quickly returned to their posts.
"Jin Qi … I want him to die without even a corpse left!!!" Amidst the furious roar, the power of the central barrier began to seethe. A roar that sounded like a tiger's roar came from the mountain.
Beast Trapping Arcana was activated!
Everyone had sorrowful expressions as they looked at the highest peak of Alioth Peak. This was their revenge for their teacher and academician, as well as their farewell. After the beasts were trapped, the central barrier would be destroyed. While Jin Qi would die without a corpse, Li Yaotian and Huo Ying's corpses would also disappear.
"We have to carry on Teacher's dying wish and protect this Alioth Peak." Chen Chu's right shoulder was still bleeding but he still stood straight. He looked at the lone peak and transmitted his voice into the ears of every disciple.
"Yes," everyone answered solemnly.
"Everyone, carry out your duties. We still need to rely on everyone for the large customization. We cannot afford to make any more mistakes, "Chen Chu said.
"Yes," the response was full of sorrow. Yes, it was their negligence that allowed Jin Qi to infiltrate the central barrier, leading to the current tragedy. This was a lesson learned in blood. They definitely could not make this kind of negligence again.
Inside the central barrier.
Huo Ying stopped Jin Qi from chasing. Jin Qi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood the whole story. They already knew of Chen Chu's wild ambition. But to the disciples of Alioth Peak, Chen Chu was still their eldest senior brother, the second most important person on Alioth Peak, second only to Li Yaotian. If he chased out like this, with his status as the Institute's target, he would definitely be an enemy. He was definitely an enemy, not a friend. Even if he had the chance to speak, no one would believe him.
He could not, and Huo Ying had left Alioth Peak for a long time. His weight was probably not enough. The one who could truly influence the situation. Only Li Yaotian.
"I'll go see the academician." Jin Qi hurried towards Li Yaotian.
"There's no time. Hurry and take Teacher. I'll send you away," Huo Ying said urgently.
A muffled sound rang out in the mountain. Soul power surged, and Jin Qi's expression changed.
Trapped beast!
He naturally knew of the Seven Elements Disaster Relief central barrier's customization to kill intruders. He did not expect Chen Chu to act so quickly. Seeing that he had not chased out, he immediately activated the trapped beast to silence him.
Huo Ying said there was no time, so he had expected this? After he failed to kill Chen Chu with the Big Dipper Sword in the moving maze, he forced himself to maintain the moving maze. He wanted to use this customization to move the others out of the central barrier. However, Huo Ying could not move an inch while maintaining the moving maze that could penetrate the central barrier. Hence, from the beginning, he was prepared to sacrifice himself to protect the others.
"Hurry! If the trapped beast activates, we'll be finished! "Huo Ying shouted. The trapped beast would not only launch a sweeping attack on the central barrier, but it would also seal the barrier, making it impossible for anyone to escape. It was already very difficult for him to use the moving maze to penetrate this alternate space's barrier. If the trapped beast sealed it, it would be completely hopeless.
This was not the time to hesitate!
Jin Qi's eyes were filled with tears. Finally, he quickly helped Li Yaotian up and stepped into the moving maze.
"Senior Brother Huo Ying … take care," he said in the end. Although he knew that these words were meaningless, he still had a sliver of hope in his heart.
"Take care of Teacher." Huo Ying smiled. Death, he had waited for so long, and it had finally come. He was very glad that he did not die in the five academies. He was very glad that he was no longer in despair in the last few days of his life. He was also very glad that his death could help his teacher and Jin Qi escape from this predicament. Although compared to successfully killing Chen Chu … This result was somewhat embarrassing and terrible, but in the end, it was not that useless.
I'll leave the rest to you guys.
He thought. The surrounding moving maze's Soul Power shone brightly. Huo Ying ignited the last of his strength and intertwined the space and time in the moving maze. He wanted to send Li Yaotian and Jin Qi directly to a safe place outside the barrier. However …
Almost … just a little more!
The Soul Power was gradually weakening. Huo Ying began to feel sleepy. He wanted to lie down and sleep, but just a little more, just a little more. He needed to be faster. He needed to get ahead of the trapped beast. But this was his limit, his current bottleneck. If he had just taken the Soul Grain Pill, if he had a Divine Weapon, even if it was a second-level Divine Weapon, it would not be a problem. But he did not. He was just a little more …
"Jin Qi?"
The teleportation in the moving maze woke the unconscious Li Yaotian up. This custom-made top-class expert had an innately sharp perception towards the collision of custom-made laws.
"Fellow Li." Jin Qi was pleasantly surprised when he realized that Li Yaotian had woken up.
"This is …" Li Yaotian did not ask for Jin Qi's origin. He just sensed the intertwining of the surrounding Soul Power and the custom-made laws of various abilities. He immediately understood what was happening.
Just a little more!
In just an instant, Li Yaotian had a clear and accurate judgment.
The moving maze was trying to send them out before the trapped beast sealed the barrier. Just a little more. Moreover, the trapped beast's momentum was increasing, but the moving maze was gradually weakening. Huo Ying used all his strength. This difference was magnified.
"Soul Grain Pill," Li Yaotian said.
Why are the teacher and student exactly the same!?
At such a critical moment, Jin Qi did not forget to mutter in his heart. But he knew that this was not the time to argue or ask questions. He hurriedly took out a Soul Grain Pill. Li Yaotian took it and immediately put it in his mouth.
Soul Power!
It immediately burst forth from the fellow's body. It was so powerful that Jin Qi was bounced to the side.
"You go first," Li Yaotian said.
"I …" Jin Qi still wanted to say something, but he saw Li Yaotian take a step forward and disappear. In the moving maze, each step was a different space, and it could change at any time. Jin Qi knew how powerful this ability was, but he did not understand it. How could he chase after him? He could only helplessly listen to Li Yaotian's instructions.
Just a little more!
Just a little more!
In the end, he still could not do anything. He had saved his teacher and Sun Zhanzhao at Phecda Peak, but this time, was this the end?
His heart was filled with sorrow, but it could not make Huo Ying feel any more energy. He was really at the end of his rope.
"Teacher, Jin Qi … I'm sorry …" he muttered. The moving labyrinth was already on the verge of collapsing, but suddenly, a new Soul Force was generated in the barrier. The moving labyrinth that was already in a state of decline was instantly repaired, perfectly and accurately.
This was Huo Ying's signature ability that he had developed himself. The only one who could do this was his teacher, Li Yaotian.
Yes, it was his teacher!
The familiar Soul Power. Although he had not come into contact with it for a long time, he could immediately sense it.
Teacher had recovered?
Huo Ying was happy, but then he saw Li Yaotian appear in front of him.
"Teacher?" Huo Ying was slightly dazed. Why did his teacher come back? The trapping beast was about to activate, how was he going to get out? Even someone as strong as Li Yaotian would not be able to break the trapping beast's barrier.
"Teacher, leave quickly!" Huo Ying hurriedly shouted.
"The people of Alioth Peak have the responsibility to protect the entire academy." Li Yaotian said.
"You did very well, as expected of the head disciple of Alioth Peak."
"And I, am Academician Alioth."
The moment he finished speaking, the trapping beast ability was completely activated. The moving maze that was created by the spatial crisscrossing barrier was instantly cut off. Luckily, Jin Qi had been successfully sent out.
Following that, the Soul Power started to spread and roll around, like the dense clouds before a storm.
Li Yaotian raised his hand, and the Divine Weapon Omnidirectional Destruction flew over, hovering above Huo Ying's head.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the Soul Power that rolled over like dark clouds suddenly became far away.
"Live well." Li Yaotian said.
The Omnidirectional Extermination disappeared and firmly protected Huo Ying.
The Soul Power shot down like dense arrows.
