"Young Master Wen, you shouldn't have gone to Holy City. There were countless casualties in Holy City this time. Wang Mingyuan's crime was too great. Even the Wang family was implicated. If it wasn't for the fact that the Wang family still has some influence in the League, the entire Wang family would have been finished. Even so, the Wang family is still in a terrible predicament. Their days aren't going well. As Wang Mingyuan's students, I'm afraid no one in the League will dare use you in the future, "An Sheng said to Zhou Wen, having clearly received the news from Holy City.
Zhou Wen fell silent. He didn't care if anyone dared to use him, but Wang Mingyuan's infamy was something that he probably couldn't wash away no matter what.
Regardless of the reason why he had done such a thing, so many lives had been lost because of him. This was something that couldn't be washed away no matter what.
"Young Master Wen, where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up. As long as you return to Luoyang, no one in the League can touch you," An Sheng added.
"There's no need. I remember the way. I'll go back myself." Zhou Wen rejected An Sheng. He believed that the path An Sheng had taken him through wasn't too dangerous. With his present strength, he should be able to return to Luoyang safely.
"Alright, be quick. Holy City is in chaos now. The six families and the bureau can't spare the time or manpower to do anything to you, but things will be different in a while. You have to return to Luoyang as soon as possible," An Sheng said.
After hanging up, Zhou Wen rode the Stone Chi and headed for Luoyang. An Sheng was right. He had to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.
In the past, the bureau had wanted to capture him because of a little suspicion. Now that his teacher, Wang Mingyuan, had committed such a heinous crime, and they had been by his side, Zhou Wen refused to believe that the six families would ignore the four of them. Therefore, he had to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. If it really didn't work, he could only escape into a dimensional zone.
He didn't encounter any danger along the way. Zhou Wen rode the Mutated Stone Chi, which was even faster than a car. However, it was too bumpy, making it uncomfortable to game.
Zhou Wen observed the Dead Man Tree on his phone every day and saw the flower bud grow by the day. It was very similar to the situation after Yan Zhen's death.
From the looks of it, Yan Zhen was sucked in by the Dead Man Tree after his death. That's why no one saw his corpse. Zhou Wen roughly understood what was going on, but he still couldn't determine if it was a good or bad thing.
The Dead Man Tree was an unknown terrifying existence. In the past, everything on the phone was under Zhou Wen's control, but now, the Dead Man Tree seemed to have exceeded his control.
However, it was useless to worry about this now. It was impossible for him to throw away his phone just because of the existence of the Treant.
"Xia Xuanyue, can you tell me what's going on?" Xia Dongyue stared at Xia Xuanyue, his eyes filled with anger.
Xia Xuanyue was one of the Xia family's geniuses with the highest chance of advancing to the Mythical stage. Her Life Soul had already reached the Perfect stage. The Mythical Companion Egg that the Xia family obtained from the dimensional zone was also given to her due to her outstanding performance.
In the end, Xia Xuanyue lived up to everyone's expectations. With the Xia family's large amount of resources, she advanced the ancient divine sword to the Mythical stage in less than six years.
It could be said that Xia Xuanyue was already a pillar of support for the Xia family, but this time, Xia Xuanyue had been severely injured in the wilderness. She was discovered by the Xia family and brought back, saving her life. However, she said that the ancient divine sword was gone.
Xia Xuanyue was very calm as she recounted what had happened that day.
"Are you saying that you were bitten by a two- or three-year-old child and fell unconscious? After you woke up, the ancient divine sword Companion Beast was gone?" Xia Dongyue couldn't believe such an explanation.
Xia Xuanyue pondered for a moment and said, "Now that I think about it, that young man was right. That child is indeed not human."
"What's that young man's name? What does he look like? Find him. As long as he's not dead, we have to figure out the truth, "Xia Dongyue said as he held back his anger.
That was a Mythical Companion Beast. There weren't many Mythical Companion Beasts in the entire Xia family. How could he not be angry that a Mythical Companion Beast was gone just like that?
Xia Xuanyue knew what Xia Dongyue was suspecting. Thinking of the youth's appearance, Xia Xuanyue said, "I didn't take a good look at that young man's appearance back then. I fainted after being bitten. Now, I can't remember that youth's exact appearance. I just feel that he looks very ordinary without any obvious characteristics."
Xia Dongyue was even more furious, but there was nothing he could do. After venting his anger, he let Xia Xuanyue leave his office.
That young man should be one of Wang Mingyuan's four students. I wonder what his name is. Xia Xuanyue had also been in front of the Holy Tower back then. She naturally recognized Zhou Wen, but she didn't know his name.
After returning, Xia Xuanyue found the information on the bureau. Soon, she confirmed that the young man she had met was Wang Mingyuan's disciple, Zhou Wen.
Forget it. If I hadn't stopped him from killing that little girl, this wouldn't have happened. It has nothing to do with him. He's already in enough trouble now, so why should I do anything unnecessary? Xia Xuanyue closed Zhou Wen's information and didn't plan on pursuing the matter further.
Zhou Wen successfully returned to Luoyang. An Sheng and Ouyang Lan rushed back from Zhuolu. Before Zhou Wen entered Luoyang City, they took him to Ouyang Lan.
"Little fellow, why are you so unlucky? It's fine if Wang Mingyuan goes, but he has harmed the Wang family and his students." Ouyang Lan pulled Zhou Wen and sighed.
"How are Hui Haifeng, Zhong Ziya, and Jiang Yan?" Zhou Wen hurriedly asked. He hadn't met the three of them on the way back.
"Hui Haifeng's family background is clean, so there shouldn't be any problems. He should be at home now. If there aren't any accidents, he should return to school in a while," Ouyang Lan said.
"What about Zhong Ziya and Jiang Yan?" Zhou Wen realized that something was amiss.
Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know. Up to now, there's no news of them. I wonder if they died in the mouths of those dimensional creatures or if they escaped and hid."
Zhou Wen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. The two of them shouldn't have died so easily. As long as they didn't fall into the hands of the bureau or the six families, they would likely have a chance to meet in the future.
"Sis Lan, how's the situation at Zhuolu?" Only then did Zhou Wen recall that Ouyang Lan and An Sheng had returned. Had there been any new developments?
"There's no progress. There are Mythical creatures guarding the inner sanctum. Our people can't enter unless Tianzuo can bring his Companion Beasts over. However, Luoyang isn't stable either. It's impossible for him to leave for so long. Otherwise, Luoyang might become the next Holy City," Ouyang Lan said with a sigh. Clearly, she was helpless about this matter.
From the looks of it, I can only rely on myself. Zhou Wen knew that he couldn't count on the An family. All he could do was think of a way to break into the inner sanctum and find the former principal.
Although he knew that the former principal was likely dead, Zhou Wen refused to give up as long as he didn't see his corpse.
