Yu Huang immediately applied for leave from Professor Mu and planned to go to the Broken Cliff to look for Anna Tao.
Sheng Yang went to the Cultivation Hall to cultivate in seclusion, and only Na Luo was resting in the dormitory. Yu Huang’s points card was out of money, so she returned to the dormitory and borrowed one point from
Na Luo. Only then did she enter the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Yu Huang packed her luggage. Thinking that Lin Jiansheng had traveled extensively and was experienced and knowledgeable, so perhaps he had been to the Broken Cliff, she gave Lin Jiansheng a
call.
Lin Jiansheng was a little surprised when he received Yu Huang’s call. “You lass, you’re finally willing to call me. I heard you defeated Xuanyuan Jing.”
Yu Huang asked him, “Mentor, how did you know?”
“What do I not know?” Lin Jiansheng chuckled a few times over the phone and said gloatingly, “That jerk Xuanyuan Shen’s expression must be very bad.”
“Of course.”
It was a video call. Lin Jiansheng was sensitive enough to realize that Yu Huang wasn’t in a good mood. There was no mirth in her eyes. He frowned and guessed that there was something on her mind.
“What? Are you in a bad mood?”
“Mentor…” Yu Huang leaned against the window and looked at the energetic students in the school. Her eyes were once again filled with sorrow. She asked Lin Jiansheng,” Mentor, do you still remember my friend,
Anna Tao?”
“That little ant?” Lin Jiansheng couldn’t remember Anna Tao’s name, but he remembered that her beast form was a little ant.
“Yeah, that little ant.”
Lin Jiansheng asked her, “What happened to her?”
Yu Huang was silent for a long time before she said in a muffled voice, “Mentor, she’s dead.”
Lin Jiansheng stopped talking.
Yu Huang told him, “Anna was bullied by the students of Yu Hui Academy and was forced to jump off the cliff. Mentor, I have to find her.”
Lin Jiansheng instinctively wanted to stop Yu Huang when he heard that Yu Huang wanted to go to the Broken Cliff to look for Tao Anna’s body. The bottom of the Broken Cliff was filled with danger, and countless
people had lost their lives there. Lin Jiansheng was naturally unwilling to let Yu Huang go.
But on second thought, he gave up.
Because Lin Jiansheng suddenly recalled the past from 19 years ago.
At that time, Yin Donghai had just disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown. As his best friend, Lin Jiansheng was so worried that he could not sleep at night. In order to find Yin Donghai, Lin Jiansheng had gone
to many dangerous places alone.
Therefore, he could understand Yu Huang’s feelings.
There was nothing wrong with going up a mountain of blades for a friend.
“I’ve been to the Broken Cliff when I was young. There’s a poisonous valley at the bottom of the cliff. You can’t deal with it with your current abilities. How about this, I’ll accompany you. We’ll meet at the capital of the
Cangyuan Empire.”
She agreed. “Alright then, Mentor, we’ll meet in the Cangyuan Empire.” Yu Hui Academy was located in the Cangyuan Empire, and the Broken Cliff was also in the Cangyuan Empire. It was the most convenient
arrangement for them to meet in the capital.
After hanging up, Yu Huang put on her windbreaker and saw Sheng Xiao the moment she walked out of the dormitory.
Yu Huang stopped in her tracks and walked toward Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao stared at her and said, “You’ve lost weight again.”
Yu Huang asked him, “How did you know that my seclusion has ended?”
“I heard it from a junior.” Sheng Xiao met a junior when he was on a mission at the back of the mountain. The junior told him about Yu Huang’s seclusion.
When Sheng Xiao heard that, he stopped his mission and flew back to the academy.
Seeing that Yu Huang was not wearing her school uniform but her own, Sheng Xiao asked her, “Are you going out?”
“Okay.”
“Where are you going?”
Yu Huang did not want to be perfunctory with Sheng Xiao, so she told him about Anna Tao. Sheng Xiao had an impression of Anna Tao. He even went to the Myriad Book Pavilion with Yu Huang to investigate her beast
form.
When he heard that Yu Huang was going to the Broken Cliff to look for Anna Tao, Sheng Xiao said without hesitation, “I’ll go with you.”
Yu Huang firmly rejected him. “No, the poisonous gas below the Broken Cliff is very heavy. I can go with Mentor. You…”
Sheng Xiao put his index finger on Yu Huang’s lips to stop her from talking. He said, “It’s because of the toxic gas that I want to go with you.”
Yu Huang was stunned for a moment before her gaze softened. “Alright, let’s go together.”
“Okay.”
Sheng Xiao had already finished his studies. He did not need to apply for leave. He could enter and exit the Divine Realm Academy freely.
The bird carried the two of them through the forest and across the sea. Only then did Yu Huang realize that the way to leave school was different from the way to enter school.
She said to Sheng Xiao, “On the day we entered the school, we took a roller coaster ride, then a submarine, and finally arrived at the school by flying bird. Don’t we need to go back the way we came?”
Sheng Xiao chuckled and said, “That’s the way for new students. We don’t need to go through so much trouble to get in and out of the school. The flying bird will take us to the place where the roller coaster is.”
“I see.”
Just as Sheng Xiao said, the birds carried them across the sea. At the end of the sea was a dark wall of spiritual energy. The birds carried them into the wall.
Yu Huang subconsciously closed her eyes and felt the wind whistling by her ears. When she opened her eyes again, she discovered that they had already left the independent space of the Divine Realm Academy and
had arrived at the underground world beneath Skysplit Tower.
The flying bird flew forward for another ten minutes before arriving at the changing platform.
Yu Huang jumped off the bird with Sheng Xiao. She heard the sound of the wheels rolling. She looked up and saw a roller coaster parked in front of them.
The driver whistled at Sheng Xiao and asked, “Sheng Xiao, your girlfriend?”
Sheng Xiao nodded and replied, “She’s my girlfriend.” Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang onto the roller coaster and reminded the driver, “Mr. Zhang, drive slower.”
“Yo, Little Sheng knows how to dote on people now.” The driver turned around and blinked at Yu Huang. He asked Yu Huang curiously, “This kid is so boring. What do you like about him?”
Sheng Xiao’s ears perked up.
Yu Huang said, “Naturally, I like his handsome looks, and how considerate and kind he is.”
Mr. Zhang’s expression turned strange. He stared at Sheng Xiao for a long time, but he could not find any trace of kindness in him.
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
“Sit tight, let’s go!”
Mr. Zhang stepped on the accelerator and the roller coaster shot out like a rocket. However, Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang kept a straight face and did not make a sound.
“We’re here!”
Mr. Zhang turned around to look at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao. They were so suffocated that their expressions had turned ashen. But, they did not even shout once throughout the whole process. Mr. Zhang knew that
these two people were trying to leave a good impression on each other.
“Alright, get off the car. See you next time!” Mr. Zhang chased Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao out of the car and drove the roller coaster away.
Yu Huang stood there for a while after she got out of the car. When her legs were no longer weak, she pretended to be calm and said to Sheng Xiao, “Let’s go.”
Sheng Xiao regained his composure. “Okay.”
After they walked out of the Skysplit Tower, Sheng Xiao used the Art of Sword Flight to bring Yu Huang to the Cangyuan Empire in the west.
There was a city called Mo City at the border of Cangyuan Empire. There was a hover bus station in the city that went straight to the capital of the Cangyuan Empire. Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang landed at the Mo City bus
station. They bought tickets and got on the train.
Yu Huang was quiet along the way. Sheng Xiao knew that she was upset so he did not disturb her.
Three hours later, they arrived at the station.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao walked out of the train station and saw Lin Jiansheng.
After not seeing him for half a year, Lin Jiansheng’s beard and hair had grown much longer. As he was too lazy to fix his hair, Lin Jiansheng’s hair looked a little messy.
The weather was cold, and he was wearing a military green cotton coat and a black belt around his waist. From afar, he looked sharp.
Yu Huang knew that Lin Jiansheng was a slovenly person in private. Hence, she did not find it strange when she saw Lin Jiansheng’s outfit. On the other hand, Sheng Xiao was surprised when he saw Lin Jiansheng’s
outfit.
n Sheng Xiao’s impression, Lin Jiansheng was always an “elite”.
Sheng Xiao had met Lin Jiansheng a few times before. Every time they met, Lin Jiansheng’s long hair would always be clean and tidy. He always wore the red Purifying Spirit Master robe on his body and exuded a lofty
aura.
But this man in front of him…
Sheng Xiao wanted to laugh but he was afraid that he would offend his girlfriend’s mentor. So, he held it in until his ears turned red.
Lin Jiansheng did not expect that Sheng Xiao would come with Yu Huang. He realized that it was not suitable for him to meet outsiders in his current outfit and felt awkward.
Yu Huang walked up and held Lin Jiansheng’s arm. She tiptoed and whispered into Lin Jiansheng’s ear, “Mentor, Sheng Xiao gave me his heart blood. I have finally mastered the first drop of blood.”
Lin Jiansheng looked at Sheng Xiao kindly.
Sheng Xiao walked up quickly and bowed to Lin Jiansheng. He said respectfully, “Supremacy Lin, long time no see.”
Lin Jiansheng waved his hand and said, “If you don’t mind, you can call me Mentor along with Yu Huang.”
Sheng Xiao changed his words immediately. “Mentor.”
Lin Jiansheng acknowledged. Seeing the gloominess in Yu Huang’s eyes, he did not waste any more time. “Alright, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
They left the bus station and arrived at a deserted place. Lin Jiansheng took out his flying transport and was about to turn it on when he remembered something. He turned around and asked Sheng Xiao, “Do you have
a flying transport? I’ve been short on funds recently. Hehe…”
It would cost at least a hundred thousand spirit stones to use the flying transport once. Lin Jiansheng was unwilling to do so.
Sheng Xiao had heard about Lin Jiansheng’s stinginess from the professors in the school before. But seeing it with his own eyes was a hundred times better than hearing it. Now that he finally saw it with his own eyes,
Sheng Xiao was amused.
“Use mine.”
Sheng Xiao waved his hand and a flying saucer-shaped aircraft appeared above their heads. The aircraft opened the door and a flight of stairs extended out.
Sheng Xiao bent down and said to Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, please.”
Lin Jiansheng looked at Sheng Xiao in satisfaction. Then, he turned around and said to Yu Huang, “This one is more reliable than the previous one.”
Yu Huang was speechless. She reached out and gave Lin Jiansheng a push. “Go up. Stop dawdling.” After being despised by his disciple, Lin Jiansheng boarded the flying transport.
Sheng Xiao was secretly delighted when he heard Lin Jiansheng’s comment.
The aircraft was slightly faster than the aircraft. After flying for more than an hour, they left the city and arrived at a barren mountain.
The mountain range beneath their feet continued to rise and fall. It was tens of thousands of meters wide from the west to the east. The end of the mountain range seemed to have been mercilessly cut by a guillotine.
The walls were steep and lofty.
That was the Broken Cliff..
