"Bamboo Shoot?"
Upon hearing these words, the corner of Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly twitched twice. "She's here too?" You came down from here too? "
Le Xuan Nian hesitated before saying: "She … Lin City, Junior Sister Zhu encountered an accident and jumped down … "
Swish!
Before she could finish her words, Lin Cheng's expression suddenly darkened. Cold light shone in his eyes, filled with killing intent.
"Who did it?!"
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth as he asked.
The Boundless Valley was not too high for warriors, but, there were many dangers involved. It was impossible for the people of the East Continent Academy to not know of them, if they weren't forced by someone, how could Zhu Zifu not have jumped down?
What's more, Zhu Ziyang was just a little martial artist at the Body Refinement Realm. She was actually sent to the depths of the Boundless Forest. Was this how that woman, Shui Ani, was supposed to be?
"A cultivator of the Myriad Sword Sect wants Junior Zhu to be his personal servant girl …"
As Le Xuan said this, she couldn't help but cast a glance at Lin Cheng. She discovered that Lin Cheng was clenching his teeth tightly and his eyes had turned blood-red, filled with hatred.
Anger!
An extremely strong rage rose up from Lin City's chest, causing him to be driven mad with hatred!
Only now did he know that the female student who was chosen by the expert of the Myriad Sword Sect and wanted to be their personal maid was actually a female student who was willing to die rather than submit.
Lin City's chest was filled with a strong hatred. If Bamboo Hill were to jump off the cliff, it would definitely be a disaster, especially if she was forced to do so by a cultivator. The consequences would be unimaginable!
"Myriad Sword Sect!" "Cultivator!"
Lin Cheng let out a roar and shouted word by word, "You and I will never be able to live under the same sky! If this enmity is not avenged, I, Lin Cheng, swear that I will not be a human being! "
Le Xuan Nian hurriedly said, "Lin Cheng, don't be anxious. Junior Zhu is a Pulse Wheel Realm expert after all. Although the Boundless Valley is dangerous, with her cultivation level, she should be safe."
Lin City, on the other hand, remained unmoved. He was too clear about how dangerous the Boundless Valley was. "Zhu Ziyang was forced by someone. What was the attitude of her master, Shuiyan?"
Le Xuan smiled bitterly: "That person is a cultivator of the Myriad Sword Sect. Even the Great Elder has to be respectful in front of him. How would Seventh Elder dare to fight against him?"
In reality, Le Xuan's heart was quite disdainful of Shui Ani's actions.
As Zhu Zifu's master, Shui Ani didn't even try to protect Zhu Ziyang. When she saw that the Myriad Sword Sect cultivator was angered, she even tried to force Zhu Zifu to do the same, saying that it was her honor and fortune.
This kind of character really wasn't worthy of being Bamboo Shoot's Master.
However, Le Xuan Nian was also a student of the East Region Academy and was not used to speaking ill of others behind their backs. Thus, she only gave a vague explanation, not being overly careful.
However, even if she didn't say it, Lin Cheng had already understood everything from her expression.
An extremely strong hatred was surging within Lin Cheng's chest.
"Ani!" That bitch! "She is not worthy to be Bamboo Hill's Master, and even more unworthy to be her Master!" Lin Cheng's voice was ice-cold. "This debt, I will definitely settle it with her! And the entire East Continent Academy! "
Through the few days of capturing the students of the East Continent Academy, Lin City had long been aware of the situation on the precipice. He knew that the elders of the East Continent Academy were already there.
That also meant that when that cultivator of the Myriad Sword Sect was forcing Bamboo Acupoint, the other elders had tacitly allowed him to do so. In their eyes, Bamboo Acupoint was not even a person, but a tool used to curry the favor of the Myriad Sword Sect cultivators!
These people all deserved to die!
Seeing Lin Cheng's hatred skyrocketing, Le Xuan wanted to open her mouth to comfort him. However, as the words were about to reach her mouth, she didn't know what to say. "Lin Cheng …"
"What's the name and origin of that cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect?" Lin Cheng's voice was filled with hatred.
"I only heard Seventh Elder call him Senior Brother Cheng. I don't know his specific name, but it's said that he's the personal disciple of an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect. His status in the Myriad Sword Sect is extremely high, and even the academy's Great Elder has to show some respect to him." Le Xuan read out.
"Senior Brother Cheng …" "Alright, I'll remember."
Lin Cheng slowly nodded his head, as if he wanted to carve this name into his heart, "Since he is here to collect the Azure Flame, does that mean he won't leave for a short period of time?"
"It should be. Our students have collected the Blue Flames and handed it to the Elders. This is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two …"
At this point, Le Xuan suddenly came to her senses, and looked at Lin Cheng in bewilderment, "You, you couldn't be thinking of …" Let's take revenge on that cultivator? "
Lin Cheng said in a deep voice, "From the moment he forced Zhu Ziyang to jump off the cliff, only one person between us could survive!"
Yue Xuan cried out involuntarily: "Lin Cheng, that's a cultivator, in their eyes, we are no different from ants. If you go and seek revenge on him, you will be using an egg to strike at a stone, and even if he stands there motionlessly and lets you slash at him, you won't be able to kill him.
Lin City's expression gradually calmed down, but the resolution in his eyes grew stronger. "Even so, I still won't remain indifferent when I know that he has killed Zhu Ziguo!"
Without waiting for Le Xuan to finish her words of persuasion, Lin Cheng asked, "Senior Le, may I trouble you to tell me the exact location of the bamboo stick jumping off the cliff? I'm going to look for her!"
After learning from Le Xuan that Bamboo Hill had broken through to the Arterial Circulation Realm, Lin Cheng firmly believed that she wouldn't die so easily. Even though the Boundless Valley was filled with dangers, as long as she didn't see Bamboo Hill's body, Lin Cheng definitely wouldn't give up.
"I don't know the exact location, so I might as well take you there." Le Xuan nodded her head and consoled again, "Junior Sister Zhu is incomparably intelligent and possesses extraordinary strength. She will definitely be able to turn the tide!"
"I believe it too!" Lin Cheng said.
Bamboo Gou slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her cultivation state, letting out a long breath of impure air.
At this moment, her originally pale face finally had a few traces of redness, and her tightly knitted eyebrows relaxed.
"Little thief …"
Zhu Zifu murmured softly.
The medicinal pills left behind by Lin City had helped her recover much faster than usual, especially the Triple Treasures, which helped her recover from her severe internal injuries by thirty to forty percent in a short period of time. This made her secretly sigh in relief.
The main injury she suffered was internal injuries. In mid-air, the fierce wind not only dispersed the elemental energy in her body, but also injured her internal organs. However, it did not cause any external injuries to her body.
At this moment, she had already recovered quite a bit. At least she could move freely. She stood up and stretched her body a bit. Although her elemental energy circulation was a bit blocked, as long as she didn't fight with others, her movements wouldn't be too difficult.
"It's about to leave."
She was lucky that she didn't even have the strength to climb the tree anymore. She could only sit under the tree and cultivate as fast as she could. If any ferocious or demonic beasts came by, she could only let them slaughter her.
Besides, this place wasn't too far from the azure fire. If the Myriad Sword Sect's cultivator didn't forgive her, and also her dear master, if they sent people to hunt her down, perhaps they would find this place.
"We can't head in the direction of the blue flames. At this moment, those people must be from the East Continent Academy." "This deep valley runs almost through the entire Eastern Region. As long as we follow this deep valley south, we can reach the southern part of the Eastern Region. The influence of the Myriad Sword Sect is limited to the central region, so it definitely won't affect the southern part of the Eastern Region."
"But …" If I leave like this, that little thief will definitely find me at the East Region Academy and fall into Shui Ani's hands! It is even very likely that he will become the target of the anger of that bastard from the Myriad Sword Sect! "
Thinking about the cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect and her beloved master, Shui Ani, her eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold light. "I can't go to the south! "Right now, as long as we avoid the area of influence of the East Continent Academy, we'll immediately sneak back. After we find the little thief, we'll leave together …"
After making up his mind, he headed south quietly.
In the deep valley.
Lin Cheng's face was scrunched up, and unconcealable rage could be seen in his eyes.
The bamboo stick had not been found!
According to what Le Xuan said, if there were no mishaps, then based on the location of the bamboo stick jumping off the cliff, she should be somewhere nearby.
However, when they carefully searched the surrounding several kilometers, they didn't find any traces of bamboo. Lin City's heart began to sink.
"Lin Cheng, don't worry. Junior Sister Zhu might have already left after coming down." Le Xuan said consolingly, "After all, those blue flames are all directed towards the academy's people. It's within reason that she doesn't dare to appear."
"Thank you for leading the way, Sister Le."
Lin Cheng lowered his voice and said, "I still need to continue searching. Senior Sister Le, go gather the Azure Firewood. Don't let me teach you otherwise. If you fail the mission given by the academy, you won't be punished."
Le Xuan shook her head and said, "It's better for me to accompany you in your search. The valley is filled with dangers. It's too dangerous for you to be alone."
Seeing Lin Cheng's strange gaze, Le Xuan's pretty face heated up and she hurriedly explained, "Actually, Junior Sister Zhu and I have already become good friends in the academy. I am also very concerned about Junior Sister Zhu's safety!"
"In that case, let's search together." Lin Cheng nodded.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In these three days, the two people from Lin City expanded their search range by several miles. However, they still did not find any traces of bamboo stick.
"Could it be that Junior Zhu did the opposite and snuck into the midst of the other students …?" Le Xuan read out.
Lin Cheng shook his head. All the students who came down from this side, with the exception of Le Xuan Xin, had been knocked unconscious by him and thrown into the tree.
