"There are two reasons why I helped you," Wu Ziheng said. "The first reason is because of the Third Princess!"
Hearing Wu Ziheng's words, everyone turned to look at Zhou Yingxue.
Zhou Yingxue should be the Third Princess, which would explain why Wu Ziheng helped them.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yingxue shook her head and said, "Actually, I'm not the Third Princess!"
"Miss Zhou, if you're not the Third Princess, then who is?" Shen Jun's eyes widened when he heard that.
He was not the only one. The others around him were also shocked.
In their opinion, Zhou Yingxue was definitely the Third Princess. Who would have thought that Zhou Yingxue was not?
"I can't tell you who the Third Princess is yet …" She looked at Linlong apologetically and said, "Young Master Lin, I didn't tell you that I'm not the Third Princess because I can't reveal her identity."
"That's fine." Linlong nodded.
He thought to himself, 'If Zhou Yingxue is not the Third Princess, then Song Qiaoqiao must be the Third Princess.'
Of course, unless Song Qiaoqiao, Zhou Yingxue, or Wu Ziheng solved the puzzle, he could not be sure.
"Then, why did the Third Princess help me?" Linlong looked at Wu Ziheng and asked.
"Naturally, it's because of Miss Zhou. The Third Princess is good friends with Miss Zhou, so she chose to help you," Wu Ziheng said.
After all, it was because of Zhou Yingxue. Linlong nodded when he heard Wu Ziheng's words.
"What's the second reason?" Yang Sheng asked.
"The second reason is that if anything happens to the Dean, then … the entire Mask Academy will basically be in my hands!" Wu Ziheng's eyes emitted a sharp glint as he said that.
Hearing that, Linlong completely understood. Wu Ziheng must have helped him not only to please the Third Princess, but also for his own benefit.
Killing two birds with one stone led him to do such a thing.
"What do you plan to do next, Vice Dean?" Linlong asked.
"Zhang Yunfeng is the Dean after all. It's not good if he dies just like that, so I'll bring him back …" Wu Ziheng said.
Before Wu Ziheng could finish, Shen Jun said worriedly, "What if Zhang Yunfeng finds trouble with us after he recovers?"
"Don't worry. Zhang Yunfeng's Spiritual Force has been injured. He won't be able to recover in a short period of time. I have my own ways to control him, so you don't have to worry," Wu Ziheng said.
"Sure." Linlong nodded.
Wu Ziheng continued, "And the two of them, no matter what, I have to bring one of them back. After all, they are powerhouses who can activate Level Five Ice Talismans. Losing one of them is a great loss to our Mask Academy."
"Alright. Vice Headmaster, please bring one of them back," Lin Long said.
The reason why he chose to leave one person behind was naturally because he wanted the person to take the Fate Obeying Pill and be used by him.
"Hmm, that's good. I can completely explain myself." Wu Ziheng laughed. After a short pause, he said, "I'll go up later and tell them that after a battle, both you and the Dean were injured. The Dean's Spiritual Force was injured and you died on the spot. As for the others, most of them died in the spatial rift ahead. Only one or two managed to escape."
After hearing what the other party said, Linlong immediately nodded. "Let's do that then!"
The others felt that this was a good idea, so they nodded as well.
It was also at this moment that traces of heat suddenly appeared behind Linlong and the others. This situation made Linlong and the others happy because it meant that the passage had been opened. Otherwise, there would be no heat coming in at all.
After the warm air came in, the mist above also slowly began to thin.
If they did not leave, the people above would be able to see the situation below clearly. Linlong immediately said, "Vice Headmaster, which one do you choose to leave behind?"
"Leave the Great Elder behind," the Vice Headmaster said directly.
It was not because the Great Elder was powerful, but because the Great Elder was more obedient to him.
"Alright, then we'll take our leave … See you again!" Linlong said.
Just as he turned and took a step, he thought of something and stopped and turned around.
Seeing him like this, Wu Ziheng could not help but ask, "Is there anything else, Young Master Lin?"
"I would like to ask a favor of the Vice Headmaster," Linlong said.
"What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask the Vice Headmaster to help me get a portion of the Purple Tiger's blood essence. After I obtain it, I will give you some compensation," Linlong said.
He had not completely mastered the Level Five Ice Talisman. The experts in the mask that could completely activate the Level Five Ice Talisman had no chance of winning, so he naturally wanted to get some Purple Fire Talismans to protect himself.
"This?" Wu Ziheng could not help but nod his head.
He was worried that Linlong would use the Purple Fire Talismans to deal with them.
"Don't worry, Vice Headmaster. As long as the Mask Academy is under your control in the future, I will not cause any trouble for you." Seeing that Wu Ziheng was worried, Linlong could not help but smile.
Hearing Linlong's words, Wu Ziheng nodded his head and said, "However, it is not easy for you to find the Purple Tiger's blood essence. You have to be prepared that you will not be able to obtain it for a long time."
"That I know … Alright, goodbye." Linlong nodded his head.
As he said that, he directly asked Elder Wang and the others to carry the unconscious Feng Tian, and then the group of people walked in the direction behind them.
As soon as they got closer, Linlong completely heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that the spatial rift in front of them was very clear and very stable.
Immediately, the group of people passed through the spatial rift.
Seeing that they had left, the Vice Headmaster walked in front of Zhang Yunfeng. He did not slap Zhang Yunfeng to wake up immediately. Instead, he made Zhou Yongfu consume a pill. This pill contained a kind of slow-acting poison. When Zhang Yunfeng's Spiritual Force was injured, it would cause more damage to Zhang Yunfeng at will. As time passed, not only would Zhang Yunfeng's Spiritual Force not recover, but his strength would also rapidly decline.
Because of this, he did not think of using Linlong's Ten Days Heart Attack Pill to threaten Zhang Yunfeng. In his opinion, this kind of poison was more effective than the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill.
As for the Grand Elder beside him, he did not let him consume this pill because he did not have much of this pill. Moreover, he did not know how to refine it. He had obtained it by chance somewhere in the Catacombs previously.
After that, he only slapped Zhang Yunfeng and the Grand Elder awake.
"Ah, my head hurts …" As soon as he woke up, Zhang Yunfeng held his head and said.
"This is normal. Dean, this pain will not lessen in the future," Wu Ziheng said in his heart.
"Zi Heng, what's going on? Where are they?" Zhang Yunfeng asked.
The Grand Elder also looked at Wu Ziheng with a puzzled expression.
"They have already escaped! They used Elder Feng Tian as a hostage. I was lenient and the passageway just happened to open, so they managed to escape, "Wu Ziheng said.
"How can that be? Isn't that releasing a tiger back into the mountains?" Zhang Yunfeng's expression changed.
"Dean, don't worry. Linlong has already been seriously injured by me. He won't live for more than half an incense stick," Wu Ziheng said confidently.
"That's good." Zhang Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that Linlong, who had the Purple Fire Talisman, was about to die, he did not think of continuing the chase. He immediately said, "Ziheng, quickly bring us back!"
"Alright!" Wu Ziheng nodded. At this time, the fog had dissipated. Although the fog had dissipated, the surroundings of the pit were still very cold.
However, this did not affect Wu Ziheng bringing Zhang Yunfeng up. After activating the Ice Talisman, he and the Grand Elder worked together to bring Zhang Yunfeng out of the pit.
During this process, Zhang Yunfeng also barely activated the Ice Talisman.
"Dean, what's wrong?" Once they came out, they saw that Zhang Yunfeng's condition was not right.
"Don't worry, Dean, because the other party activated the Purple Fire Talisman. Just like Third Elder, he will be fine after a while," Wu Ziheng said.
"That's good." Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, someone hurriedly asked, "Vice Dean, what about Linlong and the others? And Elder Feng Tian? "
"Linlong has already been seriously injured by me. He won't live for more than half an incense stick. You don't have to worry about who can use the Purple Fire Talisman against us in the future …" Wu Ziheng said.
Hearing this, everyone naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
Wu Ziheng continued, "Only one or two of them escaped. Most of them died in the extremely cold passageway below."
"That's good." Hearing this, everyone was completely relieved.
While Wu Ziheng was deceiving the people from the Mask Academy, Linlong and the others appeared in a dense forest.
This situation did not surprise them. Previously, Zhou Yingxue had already told them that after coming out, they would not be in the Mask Academy, but outside of the Mask Academy. As for the specific location, Zhou Yingxue did not know.
"Let's move forward carefully. Let's see where we are first," Linlong immediately said.
However, he did not immediately lead the others forward. Instead, he took out a Destiny Pill and let the unconscious Feng Tian swallow it. This way, he could save a lot of trouble.
As soon as he swallowed it, Linlong patted him to wake him up.
After waking up, Feng Tian stared blankly at Linlong. He knew that from now on, he would listen to Linlong's orders.
At this time, Linlong led the others forward.
After walking for a while, a few fierce beasts appeared in front of them. However, these fierce beasts were only second-level fierce beasts. They did not pose any threat to them at all.
After killing these fierce beasts, they continued forward. After walking for a while, a village suddenly appeared in front of them.
Linlong immediately led the others over. Just as they entered the village, someone blocked their way.
However, after seeing the masks on Linlong and the others' faces, the two people in front of them immediately changed their expressions.
One of them could not help but exclaim, "You are from the Mask Academy?"
The reason why they could tell was because Linlong and the others were wearing masks. Moreover, they were not ordinary masks, but the ones from the Mask Academy that seemed to have special energy.
"That's right. We are from the Mask Academy." Elder Wang nodded.
"May I know what business you have with me?" Knowing that they were from the Mask Academy, the two of them immediately became extremely respectful.
This situation made Linlong and the others heave a sigh of relief because it proved that they were near the Mask Academy.
"Nothing much. We just lost our way and wanted to ask where this place is." Elder Wang said.
"Lost?" Such words made the two of them extremely puzzled.
Obviously, to them, Linlong and the others being lost was something unbelievable.
"Yes." Elder Wang nodded. However, compared to before, the tone of the two words became extremely sharp, causing the two of them to not dare to ask anything else.
One of them hurriedly said, "This is the Green Foam Village."
Green Foam Village? Hearing his words, Linlong and the others were puzzled because they did not know where the Green Foam Village was.
Seeing their reaction, the other person hurriedly said, "The Green Foam Village is just a small village. It's normal that you do not know about it … Actually, we are not far from the River Source City. Walk in that direction and you will reach the River Source City in four hours."
The other person's words made Linlong and the others heave a sigh of relief.
At the same time that they heaved a sigh of relief, they were naturally a little surprised. They did not expect that a spatial crack would allow them to leave the Mask Academy and arrive outside the River Source City.
"Thank you very much." Elder Wang immediately said.
After saying that, he took out a small bag of Deep Frost Coins and handed it to the two of them.
The two of them did not dare to accept it at first, but in the end, under Elder Wang's' threat ', they finally accepted it.
After that, they left the Green Foam Village.
After leaving, Elder Wang could not help but ask, "Young Master, where are we going next?"
Naturally, they could not return to the Mask Academy.
Linlong did not answer. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yingxue, Shen Jun, and Zhang Yue. "Miss Zhou, Miss Zhang Yue, Shen Jun, what about you?"
"I can only go home," Shen Jun said.
"I don't want to go home. I want to stay by Big Brother Linlong's side," Zhang Yue said.
"That won't do." Linlong shook his head.
After this, he would head to the Imperial City and find a way to enter the Imperial City's sacrificial altar to find the spatial crack to leave this world. Naturally, he could not bring Zhang Yue along.
"I don't care. No matter what, you have to teach me to master a stronger Absolute Silence Rune," Zhang Yue said.
"Then, let's each take a step back. I will teach you to master a stronger Absolute Silence Rune, and then you can go home. What do you think?" Linlong said helplessly.
"This … Let me think about it," Zhang Yue said.
Zhou Yingxue smiled. "Young Master Lin, where are you going next?"
"I will head to the Imperial City next," Linlong said directly.
"Heading to the Imperial City? My house happens to be in the Imperial City. Young Master Lin, you can come to my house directly." After saying that, she looked at Zhang Yue and smiled. "Little Sister Zhang Yue can come to my house to play too."
Hearing that Linlong's destination was the Imperial City, Zhang Yue immediately said without hesitation, "Sure, I will go to Big Sister Zhou's house to play!"
"Alright then," Linlong nodded.
As the others listened to Linlong's orders, they naturally did not say where they were going.
