Chapter 296: The Plan

Yun Lintian was solidly surprised when he saw this. Obviously, the spatial suppressing formation here was working fine. How could Crimson Reaper manage to twist the space?… Was her power beyond the formation's ability?

He had no time to think about it further. Yun Lintian crazily poured all of the Profound Stones he had in to reinforce the barrier.

Rumble—

The swirl spread throughout the entire barrier's surface and twisted it into distorted shapes. However, it did not shatter right away due to the round after round of energy injection from the best grade Profound Stones. The barrier would occasionally break apart and mend together. 

The situation continued for several minutes before Profound Stones was about to exhaust, and the protective barrier was on the edge of collapsing.

"Almost there!" Abyssal Devourer was looking at the soon-to-break barrier behind him excitingly. Of course, he could lend a hand to help Crimson Reaper break the barrier from the inside, but he felt it was too cheap to do so. Wouldn't it be better to watch someone working hard for him? Furthermore, this Crimson Reaper had been watching him on the sideline for a long time now.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tian Jiuyi, Yang Chen, Qin Yuyan, Qin Yiran, Bai Qingyi, and the injured Chu Heng appeared on the ground at the square. Their appearance gave everyone a surprise, and they were looking forward to seeing more people come out… Unfortunately, after waiting for several seconds, no one had ever appeared in the square again.

"This…what's going on?" The academy elder, who was guarding the entrance, was startled and did not know what to do next. 

Tian Jiuyi stood up from the ground and looked around briefly. When he saw Hong Wuya, he hurriedly asked. "Hall Master Hong, do you know where is Palace Master Han?"

Hong Wuya was taken aback for a second, as he didn't know this young man. However, as he looked closely, he immediately recognized this young man's identity. "Are you Principal Tian's great-grandson?"

"That's right. I am Tian Jiuyi. Please answer my question, Hall Master Hong." Tian Jiuyi's face was filled with urgency.

"I know where she is. Let me bring you there." At this moment, Nangong Xi, who stood beside Hong Wuya, took a step forward. 

"Please." Tian Jiuyi nodded politely. In the next moment, he felt a gush of wind drift past him, and his body was instantly lifted up into the air before vanishing along with Nangong Xi.

Yang Chen carried Chu Heng up and walked to Hong Wuya. He greeted. "Senior Hong."

Hong Wuya's complexion was not good when he saw the injuries on Yang Chen and Chu Heng. He nodded and said. "Let me take both of you to see a doctor."

Just as Hong Wuya was about to bring Yang Chen and Chu Heng away, Yang Chen said. "Thank you, Senior Hong, but we're fine. We will wait for Brother Yun here."

Hong Wuya stopped his movement and nodded his head slowly.

Meanwhile, Qin Yiran, Qin Yuyan, and Bai Qingyi found their clan's elders and gave them a brief explanation about the situation within the Fallen Dragon Forest.

Swoosh!

"Pardon me for the disturb, Palace Master Han." Nangong Xi's voice rang out above the wooden hut as she descended down onto the ground along with Tian Jiuyi.

"Come in." Han Bingling's voice resounded from within the wooden hut, and the door automatically opened, welcoming Nangong Xi and Tian Jiuyi.

When the two stepped into the wooden hut, Han Bingling was surprised when she saw Tian Jiuyi. Because Yun Lintian had turned off the surveillance formation before sending Tian Jiuyi out, Han Bingling was completely unaware of it. 

Tian Jiuyi hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his hands together. "Greetings, Palace Master Han. This junior is Tian Jiuyi. I have an urgent matter to tell you."

"Go ahead." Han Bingling nodded. She knew it wasn't the time to ask him about the current situation in the forest.

Tian Jiuyi drew closer to Han Bingling and handed the jade slip to her. "Brother Yun told me to hand this to you."

Han Bingling took the jade slip and read the content in it with her Spiritual Sense. A moment later, a surprise appeared on her face, and she threw the jade slip to Yun Lingwei. "You should read this."

Yun Lingwei grabbed the jade slip and quickly read the content. A few seconds later, she exclaimed loudly. "This is it!"

Tian Jiuyi looked at Yun Lingwei in confusion. He didn't know her identity and didn't understand why Han Bingling gave the jade slip to her.

At this moment, Yun Lingwei raised her head to look at Tian Jiuyi and said. "Bring me to the formation. I have a way to bring everyone out!"

Tian Jiuyi was stunned and turned to Han Bingling, asking for her opinion.

"She's Yun Lintian's aunt, and she's a top formation master." Han Bingling said. Although she didn't know the level of Yun Lingwei, she was willing to believe in Yun Lintian's judgment.

The content within the jade slip was simple. Yun Lintian basically gave instructions on how to modify and reactivate the entrance's formation. He had stated further Yun Lingwei was the only one in this world who could do it.

After knowing Yun Lingwei's identity, the doubt in Tian Jiuyi's mind disappeared instantly. He had witnessed Yun Lintian's formation profound art before. Without a doubt, Yun Lintian's aunt should be as powerful as him.

"Follow me." Tian Jiuyi said with a serious expression.

"We will go together." Han Bingling said and brought everyone, including Mumu, Linlin, and Lin Xinyao, along.

When they had arrived at the square, Tian Jiuyi went straight to the entrance with Yun Lingwei, but they were stopped by the two academy elders.

"You cannot enter." One of the two academy elders said. His eyes were cold as he stared at Yun Lingwei… Why was this girl again?

Tian Jiuyi frowned and took out a white jade token. "Look at this."

The two academy elders had immediately straightened their backs when they saw the token. "It turns to be Young Master Tian. Please forgive us for our rudeness."

"Can I go in now?" Tian Jiuyi put the token away and asked.

Before the academy elders could say anything, Peng Haoye's voice suddenly came from a distance. "No, you can't go in."
