Mizar Peak, Academician Guo — Guo Wu Shu.
Although they were all seven academicians, even Chen Jiu didn't dare say he was very familiar with this name.
As one of the seven academicians, Guo Wu Shu was a generation older than the other four academicians, including the dean. The people of the Big Dipper Sect who were in the same generation as him had either retired or had long since fallen into eternal slumber.
Guo Wu Shu also seemed to have the intention to retire, and had long since stopped asking about matters. But he had remained in this state of semi-retirement for too long, and did not retire, making it hard for people to figure out what he was thinking. But the people of Mizar Peak had always done things in a strange and secretive manner, and did not need to explain themselves to others.
And Chen Jiu, he and Ruan Qingzhu were of the younger generation. When they had become academicians, Guo Wu Shu had already been in this state of semi-retirement. Chen Jiu really hadn't interacted much with Guo Wu Shu, and had only spoken a few times.
If he was like this as an academician, then his first disciple Jin Qi was even more so. But to this unfamiliar academician, Jin Qi had said he could be trusted. And Chen Jiu didn't feel it was strange at all. It seemed that in the hearts of the people of the Big Dipper Sect, even if they feared, loathed, or disliked Mizar Peak, they had an instinctive trust.
This really was a very strange feeling. Perhaps this was the deepest impression that Mizar Peak had left on people after thousands of years of inheritance — those who used the dark were always the most loyal, and Academician Mizar was always the most trustworthy.
As expected, at this critical moment, Academician Mizar, who had retired for many years, had acted as expected. And what plans he had, even Chen Jiu couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Come come come, I'll take a look at your injuries. Speak slowly." Chen Jiu called out to Jin Qi.
Jin Qi's injuries were not light, and his entire body ached, but he couldn't help but smile. But then he thought of the fallen stars he had just seen, and of Li Yaotian who had been sacrificed at the seven yuan hub. He knew the situation was still very urgent, and didn't walk forward completely. He had already begun to explain.
Mizar Peak.
The most unremarkable of the seven peaks. From the gates of Alkaid Peak to the boundary of the Big Dipper Sect, advancing along the mountain path to the foot of Alioth Peak, many people would discover that they had unwittingly overlooked Mizar Peak between the two peaks.
It wasn't very tall. It wasn't very short; it wasn't very precipitous, but it wasn't very flat either. If one had to add a characteristic, it would probably be ordinary.
It was the most ordinary of the Seven Big Dipper Peaks, but the academy's most secretive and most feared Shadow Envoys resided there. Those masked figures in black robes. It was the nightmare of many, both inside and outside the academy.
But now?
Mask?
Black Clothes?
He already had a label on his image, so how could he still be considered a Dark Wielder?
Guo Wushu, who was standing on the peak, looked at the fire pillars soaring into the sky. The North Style Academy was in chaos. He couldn't help but think of what his brother, Guo Youdao, said before he left the North Style Academy.
The Big Dipper's Mizar Peak had two peaks. This was something that no one in the world knew. The Mizar Star had an Auxiliary Star beside it. His strength wouldn't be any weaker than Kai Yang Academician. This was something that no one knew, including the academicians of the North Style Academy.
And the one truly in charge of the Mizar Peak's Shadow Envoys should in fact be this Auxiliary Star.
But many years ago, Guo Youdao left. Before he left, he said these words. He believed that the current Shadow Envoys existed only in name only, and were basically unable to fulfill their duties.
These words were indeed not wrong.
Looking at the North Style Academy that was in ruins. Guo Wushu could imagine that if Guo Youdao was here and saw this scene, he would definitely say. If his generation of Shadow Envoys were still here, this scene would absolutely not have happened.
That's right! That generation was no longer here.
The current Shadow Envoys, just like what Guo Youdao said, all had a fixed image and temperament. The theft of the Megrez Peak's pharmacy's seventh storehouse happened without any warning. After the incident, there was still no clue. And now. During the Seven Star Meeting, the academy was thrown into chaos. Two academicians died in battle. What about the Shadow Envoys? They were like headless flies like everyone else.
The Shadow Envoys shouldn't be like this. The true duty of the Shadow Envoys was to nip the evil in the bud. Walking in the shadows, annihilating everything in the shadows. But now … …
Times were different.
Even if the Shadow Envoys were handed over to the new generation of Big Dipper Gate to command, it still couldn't change the current state of the team.
This team really needed to be completely rebuilt.
But you left for so many years. You said you wanted to nurture a true Shadow Envoys. Now that you're dead, where are the Shadow Envoys that you've nurtured?
Guo Wushu had a tall stature. Even though he was already over a hundred years old, with a head full of white hair, he still looked burly and powerful. But at this moment, standing at the side of the mountain, his back looked abnormally frail.
"Academician, he's awake."
Just at this moment, a voice came from behind. Guo Wushu turned around and saw Lu Ping lying on the ground. He had just opened his eyes, and had a silly look.
"Zi Mu?" When Lu Ping opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face. It was actually a friend he had befriended during the Newcomer's Trial, a friend who had always been with him through thick and thin. Only after the theft of the seventh storehouse was they separated. Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear in front of him.
Lu Ping calmed himself down. He wasn't quite sure. Don't tell me I've fallen for some illusion technique again. He thought. Just today's battle had allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience.
"You're fine. You're just exhausted."
Another voice came from the other side. Lu Ping immediately turned his head to that side, and was stunned again.
"You … …" Another person he knew, and a person he rarely knew.
Wen Gecheng, the only practitioner who was able to enjoy a great reputation in the continent despite having two souls linked together. Because of his special ability, Microscopic Seamless, it was unprecedented, and could not be replicated. Such a rare and capable person was naturally the target of many people's enticement. But this guy roamed the four seas, and had no fixed abode. The last time he saw him, was on Mizar Peak. This time … …
Lu Ping looked left and right, and quickly saw a white-haired old man standing at the side of the mountain, who was currently turning his head to look at him.
Guo Wushu.
This … … is Mizar Peak again?
Lu Ping was sure now, this was indeed Mizar Peak. The place he came to last time. And this time … … Lu Ping recalled the moment before he lost consciousness: The valley behind Lu Cun Tang on Phecda Peak. The transportation passage that could lead to the destruction of the North Style Academy was there. The enemies of the three great academies kept teleporting in. He kept attacking, attacking, and attacking. He originally wanted to escape when it was about time, but in the end, he was stuck and couldn't leave. He kept attacking, persevering. In the end, he seemed to have even used all his strength to flatten one?
Then, he couldn't hold on any longer. Just as he was about to collapse, someone suddenly appeared beside him. So fast, he didn't have the time to react or defend. Then, that person brought him away. Even though he lost consciousness very quickly, that moment of teleportation and transformation, that kind of experience was somewhat familiar to him. It was definitely not the first time he experienced it.
Wan Fangting!
Lu Ping immediately recalled. The last time was Wan Fangting. He was interrogated by Liu Wu and Zhuo Qing there, and was suddenly rescued by someone. That person came very quickly. And the feeling when he was taken away, wasn't it exactly the same as when he was rescued from the valley?
It was the same person, the same method, who had saved him twice in succession.
"It's you." Lu Ping continued to look at Guo Wushu.
In the end, without waiting for Guo Wushu to reply, he turned to look at Zi Mu. Because he already knew that this was not an illusion. The people in front of him were all real.
"You told Lin Tianbiao that I should go to East Mountain Residence, Wan Fangting, at eight o 'clock tonight?" He asked Zi Mu.
"Ah?" Zi Mu was startled. Guo Wushu and Wen Gecheng were also startled. No one would have thought that after Lu Ping woke up and recognized the three people around him, the first thing he asked was this question.
"I didn't." After being startled for a while, Zi Mu still replied, "I only told him that I am fine at Megrez Peak, and that you don't have to worry."
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded.
Lin Tianbiao used Zi Mu's words as a cover, and let Lu Ping go to Octagonal Pavilion unguarded. He did not consider what would happen if this lie was exposed in the future, because in his opinion, Lu Ping should not have a future.
Who would have thought that Lu Ping would survive, so his clumsy lie naturally became a huge loophole. He could not change his words on the spot, and could only temporarily stick to the lie, and go to test. In the end, Lu Ping very calmly suspected him, and then asked him to go to Alkaid Peak to report him. Then Ruan Qingzhu actually really sent a disciple to support Lu Ping. Lin Tianbiao really did not understand the development of the matter. It seemed like Lu Ping didn't care much about the fake news he had spread. Although he expressed that he could not believe him, in the following days, Lu Ping did not avoid him. So in order to not attract unnecessary trouble and attention, the action of silencing Zi Mu was not carried out. After all, after the robbery of the seventh storehouse, the entire Megrez Peak was practically in a state of panic. At this time, it would not be easy to eliminate Zi Mu.
In fact, these actions that Lin Tianbiao did not understand, to Lu Ping it was actually very simple.
Because he knew that Zi Mu had not died. Since he had not died, then when he had the chance, he only needed to ask and everything would be clear.
Whether it was being imprisoned in Megrez Peak, or being executed after the Seven Star Trial, or now on Mizar Peak.
Since he had met him, then he would ask.
After asking, he would know the answer.
Lin Tianbiao had a problem.
His suspicions were correct.
