"Put it down. Put it down. Don't be impatient, don't be impulsive. "Yang Xiaohu repeatedly tried to dissuade him. If Xiahou Qianbai did not let go, Tie Muxin this big guy would be strangled to death by him.
It was only then that Xiahou Qianbai realised that he had lifted Tie Muxin's body into the air. Tie Muxin was breathing heavily, his face flushed red. Even if he wanted to explain, he could not say a word.
His palm loosened, and Tie Muxin's body immediately fell to the ground.
Tie Muxin clutched his throat and coughed loudly, big beads of tears rolling down from his eyes. "The illusion collapsed. The whole illusion collapsed. As long as Cai Pa and I escaped, we don't know where they went — — "
"What? The illusion collapsed? "Yang Xiaohu was shocked.
"How could the illusion collapse?" Xiahou Qianbai sneered. "The illusion has existed for thousands of years, how many students have we sent in. The other students can safely enter and exit, why did the illusion collapse when it was your turn to enter? "
"That's right. How could there be such a thing? The illusion is an ancient wasteland, it has a longer history than Starry Sky Academy, it would not collapse so easily. "
"It's just a few new students that went in, how could they have the ability to destroy the illusion? You overestimate yourselves. "
※ ※ ※
The Starry Sky teachers criticized one after another, evidently not believing what Tie Muxin said about the illusion collapsing.
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. "Tie Muxin hissed.
"It collapsed." Cai Pa also added on from the side. "If we hadn't been pushed far away, we most likely wouldn't have been able to escape."
"Why don't we ask the other students?" Yang Xiaohu suggested.
So, Kong Li casually pulled a student who had just come out and asked, "Student, did the illusion collapse?"
"I don't know." The student said with a frightened look on his face. "When we were still in the illusion, we felt that the water elements were fluctuating too much, frantically rushing in one direction. The water elements disappeared where we were, the flowers and plants withered, the birds and beasts died. We were worried that the illusion would have a big change, so we hurriedly came out of the weak water. "
Evidently, the student had fled when the iceberg was erected.
Kong Li said with a puzzled expression, "I've heard of water element riots before, but how many years ago was that?"
"Three hundred and sixty-seven years ago." Yang Xiaohu was well-read, and was familiar with all kinds of historical materials. "Three hundred and sixty-seven years ago, the students of the Academy entered the mountain and caused a water element riot."
"I remember." Xiahou Qianbai nodded.
"One thousand six hundred and twenty-one years ago, a student from the Academy entered the mirror and caused a water element riot. That was the first time in the history of the academy that they lost the most students. A total of 11 students died, 9 were severely injured, and 24 were lightly injured. At that time, it caused a stir in the academy, and the academy even sent people to investigate the matter. "
"Did you find any pattern?" Xiahou Qianbai asked.
Yang Xiaohu lowered his voice, whispering: "Three hundred and sixty-seven years ago, it was Bai Luchan who entered the realm. Bai Luchan entered the Empty Valley at the age of three and climbed a mountain at the age of eleven. He then made several breakthroughs and reached the Star State at the age of twenty-seven. He was the expert with the fastest breakthroughs in several hundred years, and was known as the Martial God by the people of his time. Until now, the academy's Space Wall still has records of his glorious achievements. "
"What about the time one thousand and six hundred years ago?"
"That time it was the 'Demon King' Xiu Yusha." Yang Xiaohu said.
"When did Xiu Yusha enter the realm?" Kong Li exclaimed.
"It was indeed that year." Yang Xiaohu said firmly. He was very confident in his memory.
The Demon King Xiu Yusha was a more terrifying existence than the Martial God Bai Luchan. He did not belong to any sect, and was an ordinary youngster from an ordinary family. He first entered the Ghost Domain, and then entered the Starry Sky. Later, because he fell in love with a girl from an aristocratic family and was rejected, he became violent and destroyed the family. Including the woman he liked, and the man the woman liked.
The matter was too big, and aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire cultivation world. Everyone attacked together, and repeatedly failed to kill Xiu Yusha.
Later, Xiu Yusha became the enemy of almost all the martial artists of the divine continent. When there were many people besieging him, he avoided the battle and tried to escape. Anyone who participated in the siege against him, he later destroyed their family or even their sect by any means necessary.
Because Xiu Yusha's cultivation was profound, and he was cruel and merciless, anyone who fell into his hands had no way to survive. At that time, the divine continent was in a reign of terror because of this person. In the end, he was killed by the 'Human King' Ying Lianyue on the Broken Dragon Platform. The divine continent was peaceful. But Xiu Yusha's notoriety was well known, and had the effect of stopping children from crying. He was called the 'Demon King'.
Of course, there were also Starry Sky experts that were famous throughout the divine continent in other years. It was just that in these two years there happened to be Starry Sky experts entering, and the water elements were more violent.
"What is the reason this year?" Xiahou Qianbai said with a thoughtful look on his face. "Who could make the illusion collapse? In the future — — is it a blessing for the people or a shame for Starry Sky? "
"Who knows now?" Yang Xiaohu shook his head and sighed. "Back then, Xiu Yusha was a very important student of the Academy. Because he was a commoner, did not belong to any sect, and the Academy wanted to use him to counter the aristocrats' ambition to monopolize outstanding students — — "
Before Yang Xiaohu's voice faded, Xiahou Qianbai and Kong Li were already glaring murderously at him.
Both of them were of noble birth, each had a Buddhist and Taoist background, and were the pillars of Mount Longhu and Tianyin Temple.
To talk about the monopoly of outstanding talents, in addition to the royal family of the various countries, there were also proud existences like Mount Longhu, Tianyin Temple and Changbai sword sect. There were countless Starry Sky experts, and which one had a more profound heritage than them?
Yang Xiaohu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, smiled awkwardly. "Xiu Yusha is usually a role model for all living beings, who would have thought that he could not pass the test of love, and in the end became a murderous demon king?"
"Human nature is evil. That is what the ancient sages have said. " Xiahou Qianbai sneered aloud. "No matter which sect, they are all students of Starry Sky, and it is an honour to be from Starry Sky. Starry Sky itself does not need to accumulate power, and has always been a neutral existence in the divine continent. What is the use of fighting against the aristocrats? "
"That's right. Bookworm has ulterior motives. He wants to create internal conflict. "Kong Li echoed. In this respect, the two had a common language.
Yang Xiaohu smiled bitterly. "Now is not the time to argue about that. Most of the students are back, why haven't Li Muyang and the others come out yet? If it really doesn't work, I want to go in and have a look. "
"Let's wait and see." Xiahou Qianbai said. "If what they said is true, the illusion no longer exists. If you go to the continent of Feng Lin, you might disturb that ten thousand year old monster. You have the ability to escape, but what about them? This is a bad thing for Li Muyang and the others. "
"But — —" Yang Xiaohu was worried. He only had a few students, but now only Tie Muxin and Cai Pa came out. If the others were really buried in the illusion, how would he have the face to continue teaching? Hurry and pack up and go out to slay the dragon.
The water mirror rippled again, and Yang Xiaohu hurried over to greet them.
Kong Li, Xiahou Qianbai and the others were also full of anticipation, hoping that this time it was Li Muyang and the others who came out together.
Thump!
A figure dressed in white fell out from the inside. He rushed forward a few steps before he could steady his body.
Bowing to the several Starry Sky teachers, he said in a weary voice: "Chu Xun pays respect to Misters."
"Chu Xun, where are Li Muyang and the others?" Yang Xiaohu grabbed Chu Xun's arm and asked hurriedly.
Chu Xun's eyes flashed with anger, but his face was still calm as he said aloud: "Teacher Yang, I entered the illusion alone. In the illusion, I did not see Li Muyang. "
"What about Lu Qiji, Lin Canghai and the others?" Yang Xiaohu asked again.
"I also did not see them." Chu Xun said.
"Then where did you go?"
Chu Xun did not answer.
Students can refuse to answer questions raised by a teacher, and there is no need to report to the teacher what they have obtained in the illusion. That is their own privacy, and does not need to be shared with others.
If any of the students obtained some secret treasures or cultivation treasures, they would bring disaster upon themselves if word of it got out.
This is the rule of Starry Sky Academy.
Yang Xiaohu also knew that he had asked too much, and explained: "Chu Xun, the Dragon Slayer department is in danger. Now only you, Cai Pa and Tie Muxin have come back. The others are nowhere to be seen. That's why I am so worried. "
Chu Xun's brows knitted in a frown, hurriedly asking: "Lu Qiji did not come out?"
"She did not come out."
"I'm going in." As Chu Xun spoke, he turned around to re-enter the illusion.
Yang Xiaohu held him back. "Your essential qi is exhausted, your physical strength is weak. Going in now is just suicide. And, from what the other students said, the illusion has collapsed, where are you going to find them? "
Chu Xun's face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot. "Then we just sit back and watch them be buried in the wilderness?"
"If they really can't come out — —" Xiahou Qianbai put on the airs of a Starry Sky teacher, saying in a cold voice: "That's it. Every year students are buried in the wilderness, isn't it like this year after year? We've also entered the illusory realm before and encountered danger before. We risked our lives to get there. If we can't, then we have to accept our fate. " If we can't, then we have to accept our fate. "
Chu Xun's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, but he dared not refute Xiahou Qianbai's words.
What Xiahou Qianbai said was indeed the rule of the Academy. Some people died in the illusion, and some people stayed behind.
If relatives and friends died and they had to re-enter the illusion to take revenge, and classmates stayed behind to accompany them, then Starry Sky Academy would no longer be Starry Sky Academy.
All the consequences must be borne by themselves, and all the choices must be accepted calmly.
"Wait a little longer." Yang Xiaohu understood Chu Xun's feelings for Lu Qiji, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Wait a little longer. They will be fine. "
Chu Xun had no choice but to stand with the Starry Sky teachers, waiting for the water mirror to ripple and distort again.
After a while, just as everyone's mood was getting lower and lower, and even Kong Li was clamoring to enter the illusion to look for them, the water mirror rippled again.
Yang Xiaohu's face twitched, shouting excitedly: "They're back. They're finally back — — "
