Halfway there, they saw a red firework shoot into the sky and burn three times in a row.
This was a type of distress signal in the Dao Institute.
Wei Yan immediately grabbed Shen Nanqi and sped up.
He didn't want to miss the best time to rescue, but he also couldn't leave the exhausted Shen Nanqi here. Therefore, he could only pretend that he didn't see Shen Nanqi and the others' resistance.
Outside Xiao Lin Town.
Wei Yan, who had rushed over, landed on the ground.
He stopped right in front of Jiang Wang and his two brothers who were searching here.
The investigation of the CWU mission had come to an end. Because Dong A had requested for confidentiality, Fang Heling was now free to avoid alerting the enemy.
This investigation mission could only be temporarily shelved. Of course, on the surface, the case was closed.
The twelfth lunar month was the end of the first year. Jiang Wang and his two brothers had been very active in completing missions, like wild beasts in winter, accumulating Dao Merits.
After this period of hard work, they had completed the run-in in the battle of the Transcendent Realm, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
Ling He completed the Minor Heavenly Cycle on the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month, still using the extreme speed of ordinary talent to complete the breakthrough. Zhao Rucheng was not to be outdone. He even broke through a few days before Ling He and completed the reversal.
On the other hand, Jiang Wang had been polishing Dao techniques and strengthening his foundation. He had consumed a lot of Dao Energy, and his breakthrough speed had slowed down.
On the fifteenth lunar month, the blessed land challenge day, his blessed land's ranking had dropped to the twenty-seventh Dong Gong Mountain. He only had 1450 merit points left every month. Including what he had before, he only had a total of 4120 merit points.
This undoubtedly increased Jiang Wang's sense of urgency, but he wasn't in a hurry to break through.
The stage from the Heavenly Cycle Realm to the Heavenly Cycle Realm was the advancement from the Minor Heavenly Cycle to the Heavenly Cycle Realm. It determined the time to see the Heaven and Earth Gate, as well as the height and thickness of the gate.
He had to be steady.
This was what Dong A had repeatedly told him.
However, in reality, this small team of three Heavenly Cycle realm cultivators had suddenly risen in the rankings of the Dao Academy's Dao Merit Rankings, and they had overtaken many of their senior brothers from the previous batches.
In next year's Three Cities Dao Debate, Jiang Wang had already reserved the title of champion. At the end of the year, he even had a chance to enter the County Academy.
There was also Du Yehu, who was in the Nine Rivers Profound Armor. The brothers all had a bright future ahead of them.
The shadow brought by the White Bone Path gradually faded under Dong A's responsibility. Jiang Wang was now full of beautiful imagination for the future.
Today, their team happened to be carrying out a new mission nearby. They rushed over as soon as they saw the distress signal. But after searching for a long time, he found nothing.
…
"Did you encounter any academy disciples who asked for help?" asked Wei Yan.
Ling He replied, "We were nearby. When we saw the distress signal, we immediately came over. However, we didn't see anyone. There aren't even any traces of battle. "
Everyone knew what this meant.
That group of Dao Academy disciples must have encountered an opponent they couldn't fight against, which was why they couldn't even leave behind any traces of battle.
Then why did they still have the chance to send out a distress signal?
Just thinking about it made him shudder.
"We have to hurry back to the city and report this matter." Zhao Rucheng said.
The abandoned Little Forest Town was not far away, and the ruins seemed to be telling the story of the past.
They told her what they had done here and what they had left behind.
Of course, what happened was painful memories, and what was left behind was shame.
The Moon Cypress Trees outside the town were growing very well. Now, no one dared to come here to steal.
"Let's go." Wei Yan turned and said.
"Aren't we going to look around?" Ling He couldn't bear it.
Zhao Rucheng had suggested returning to the city before. It was only because of Ling He's repeated requests that the three brothers looked around for a while. Because of this, they met Wei Yan and Ling He.
Zhao Rucheng tugged at him. "Let's go. It's a disaster! Just report it to the Arrest Department. Even if we want to find traces, we have to let the professionals do it. "
Ling He had to give up.
Because Shen Nanqi had lost his ability to fight, everyone took turns to carry him. They didn't move very fast.
They walked on the official road. A little further ahead and they would see Maplewood City. Wei Yan suddenly stopped. "You guys go. Take Shen Nanqi back."
"What about you, General Wei?" asked Ling He.
Zhao Rucheng hugged him. "Let's go, boss. Don't worry about other people's business!"
Jiang Wang didn't speak. Because as soon as they left Xiaolin Town, his mind fell into a sudden uneasiness.
But he couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from. He could only protect Shen Nanqi and walk forward.
At this time, Shen Nanqi was like a walking corpse. He didn't care who he followed or where he went.
But Jiang Wang keenly sensed that there was an extremely sharp aura in his body that was slowly spreading.
The brothers looked at each other. They all understood that after today's blow, Shen Nanqi was about to open the door to heaven and earth!
… …
Wei Yan waited until Jiang Wang and the others were far away before he suddenly turned around and rushed toward Xiaolin Town.
Quick Snow was raised and metal elemental energy madly gathered toward him.
His figure was extremely sharp. It seemed to cut through the wind and he moved forward in the gap between the wind.
The distance that he had walked for half a day was now covered with a whistling sound.
But this place was still quiet, as if there was nothing.
This was a wasteland where even spirits didn't exist. Because all the spirits here had become sacrifices for the shadow of the Gates of Hell.
Wei Yan held Quick Snow and walked among the broken walls and ruins.
Tea houses, taverns, single-wheeled trucks … …
His pace was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. But after almost circling the entire Xiaolin Town, he didn't find any traces.
There was no attack.
In the end, he stopped and stood in the center of Xiaolin Town, at the empty flat ground where the shadow of the Gates of Hell had been condensed.
"Come out! You can't wait for anything! "Wei Yan suddenly shouted.
A breeze seemed to blow and a black brocade robe appeared in front of him. Under the long hair was Wei Quji's dignified face.
"Sure enough, it was you who followed me!" Wei Yan sneered. "Using me as bait? That's really something you would do. Unfortunately, you were exposed! "
"That can only mean that you're a waste. You're not worth their risk!"
Wei Quji seemed to be disdainful. He only said this sentence stiffly and then left in a whirlwind.
He didn't seem to expect an answer. He just wanted to express his will.
"Aren't you a waste?" Wei Yan gritted his teeth and held Quick Snow tightly. "My … father?"
… …
After returning to Maplewood City, he sent Shen Nanqi back to his residence.
The three brothers went to the Hall of Merit to choose a mission. After distributing the merit, they prepared to go back.
"Third Brother, are you okay?" Zhao Rucheng asked.
"I'm fine," Jiang Wang said reluctantly. "Maybe it's because I know that many of my brothers died today, so I feel a little uneasy."
"Go back and have a good rest." Ling He patted him on the shoulder. There was no other way to comfort him about this. On the path of cultivation, they would still experience a lot.
After walking out of the Hall of Merit, Ling He lived in the Dao Academy's dormitory. Zhao Rucheng left the Dao Academy's gate and went home. Jiang Wang returned to Pegasus Alley from the Dao Academy's back door.
The three brothers parted ways.
Jiang Wang walked forward alone. When he reached the back door, his footsteps suddenly swayed.
He had just been in a trance, and the ruins of Xiaolin Town seemed to have appeared in front of him. He also saw a huge, pitch-black vortex in the center of Xiaolin Town!
He came to his senses and saw the Dao Academy's disciple in front of him asking about him with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Jiang Wang said repeatedly.
He stepped forward, but his footsteps felt heavy.
Was it … an illusion?
