Nangong Xu suddenly fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth. His eyes widened as he stared at Gu Ying, who was smiling brightly.
"People who know too much will not live long. Senior Nangong, don't you agree?" Gu Ying said smilingly as he looked at Nangong Xu, watching with his own eyes as Nangong Xu breathed his last breath. Gu Ying then raised his head and looked at his arm that was covered in blood. The curve at the corners of his mouth deepened and he then turned to look at Ning Rui.
"I did not expect anyone from the Zephyr Academy to be able to recognise the route to the Heaven's End Cliff. Looks like we cannot delay this any longer."
Ning Rui nodded. The fact that Nangong Xu knew about the Heaven's End Cliff shocked Ning Rui. To ensure that no one else knew about it, Ning Rui said: "I will send the word immediately, to have the disciples of the Zephyr Academy move out immediately."
Gu Ying nodded in satisfaction.
"They will be here soon. They should be able to make it before we set off."
Making use of the disciples of the Zephyr Academy was one thing, but Gu Ying knew very well that with just these youths, they would not be able to fully understand the situation at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff. Hence, besides the disciples of the Zephyr Academy, he would also have people from his side go with them, but the task of finding the way forward would be left to these disciples.
Using the lives of the disciples of the Zephyr Academy, to slowly uncover the way down the Heaven's End Cliff, that was Gu Ying's goal!
Ning Rui nodded and immediately ordered Gongcheng Lei, who was standing guard outside, to pass the message down. Nangong Xu, who was lying on the ground, did not close his eyes. Even at the moment of his death, he would not have thought that he would die at the hands of a youth in his teens.
The sudden advance of the departure time made many of the disciples of the Zephyr Academy grumble and grumble. But due to Ning Rui's dominating presence, they did not dare voice out their complaints. In less than four hours, all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy had packed up their belongings and gathered before the gates of the Zephyr Academy. Looking at the numerous horse carriages parked outside, they understood that they were about to embark on a tough and arduous journey.
Ning Rui had already led his men to wait at the gates, waiting for the teachers from the various faculties to complete the headcount before they could set off.
However, just as the instructors were reporting the number of people to Ning Rui, a series of horse hooves slowly traveled into everyone's ears.
It was already dusk and the dazzling sun shone brightly in the sky. The warm glow of the setting sun shone upon the earth as a horse carriage rolled slowly through the dusk. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the carriage stopped before the gates of the Zephyr Academy.
The carriage looked extremely ordinary, and the tall man driving the carriage was also very unfamiliar. The disciples gathered at the entrance couldn't help but stretch their necks to peek, curious as to why a carriage would suddenly appear at this time.
The horse carriage did not look like it belonged to the Zephyr Academy. It was a size bigger than the Zephyr Academy's horse carriage and it was not painted with the Zephyr Academy's emblem.
Ning Rui turned his gaze over as well. They were about to set off for the Heaven's End Cliff and he did not want any more accidents to happen.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a slender and elegant figure slowly stepped down from the horse carriage. When that person's face came into view, the entire Zephyr Academy was filled with gasps!
The person who stepped down from the carriage was none other than Fan Zhuo, who had disappeared for a long time!
