Chapter 1500: Steal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This angry holler contained a thunderous aura that erupted throughout the place, clearly landing in the ears of everyone in the academy!

The crowd’s expressions changed instantly, and they all looked at Chu Liuyue. Shangguan Jing—isn’t that Shangguan Yue’s ancestor? Isn’t that the legendary and amazing supreme Armory Refinement Master? Who has such courage to holler outside Ling Xiao Academy like this?!

Chu Liuyue’s heart suddenly sank. That dragon roar—

“Everyone, calm down!” An energetic boom sounded formidably.

The originally restless Qing Ming Square instantly quietened down.

!!

Chu Liuyue looked toward the source of the voice—the one speaking was Elder Dan Qing.

She hadn’t seen him for a while, and Elder Dan Qing looked like he was much frailer. His hair had become white, as though it was covered in a layer of ice.

He was about to fly toward the academy entrance when he suddenly stopped and glanced at Chu Liuyue. “Chu—Shangguan Yue, please invite Senior Shangguan over and see what’s going on.”

Chu Liuyue nodded. “Okay.”

Elder Dan Qing looked at her with a complicated gaze. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he still left silently in the end.

Chu Liuyue turned and glanced at him.

“Although Elder Dan Qing had broken his mentor-disciple ties with Jiang Zhiyuan, he did genuinely bring her up for a few years. Now that she’s gone, it is inevitable that he will be sad.” Rong Xiu lightly said, “Don’t mind it. Although Elder Dan Qing was biased toward her in the past, he won’t unreasonably push the blame on us.”

He won’t have a grudge against us. At most, he would just feel complicated. After all, a person dying is like a candle extinguishing.

Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze. “I know.”

If Elder Dan Qing really couldn’t let it go, he would’ve directly looked for her.

“Actually, what I’m worried about now is…” Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other. If I didn’t guess wrongly, the incoming person is very likely—

“I’ll accompany you back to Jiuheng Peak.” Rong Xiu squeezed her hands.

Rong Xiu nodded and immediately left with Rong Xiu.

…

On the way there, the duo met Shangguan Jing, who coincidentally came out.

“Ancestor!” Chu Liuyue immediately greeted him.

“Yue’er, are you okay?” Shangguan Jing pulled her to size her up. After confirming that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Liuyue’s uneasiness became increasingly stronger as she clutched her ancestor’s sleeves tightly. “Ancestor, outside there seems to be—”

“They’re from the great phoenix dragon clan.” Shangguan Jing’s expression turned grave, and he said carefully, “They took action rather quickly.”

Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to be clenched tightly. Ancestor and the great phoenix dragon clan have huge grudges between them. Ancestor just woke up not long ago, and they directly rushed over to Ling Xiao Academy. It seems like they are serious. If this isn’t handled well, then—

“Don’t worry, Yue’er. This is my own matter. I definitely won’t implicate you and Ling Xiao Academy.” Shangguan Jing patted Chu Liuyue’s head, and his voice was gentle.

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. “I’m the Shangguan family’s descendant, so I will be with you regardless.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jing was dazed and had countless emotions overflowing in his eyes. In the end, the thousands of words only turned into a sentence: “Good Yue’er!”

My Shangguan family is never afraid of any danger!

“Don’t worry. When I chose to wake up this time, I knew that I had to face all of this,” said Shangguan Jing with a laugh. “Yue’er, you just have to care about peacefully waiting in the academy. I will naturally settle all these problems!”

“But…” Chu Liuyue wanted to go with them, but a thought suddenly popped up in her mind. She also felt that she might be a burden if she went with him, so she swallowed her remaining words. “You must be careful.”

Shangguan Jing nodded and glanced at Rong Xiu meaningfully.

Rong Xiu nonchalantly nodded.

Shangguan Jing then felt relieved. His figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot!

Chu Liuyue looked up slightly in the direction of the academy entrance. She knew that the great phoenix dragons were waiting sternly for her ancestor at this moment! I wonder if Ancestor can successfully solve all these troubles…

Chu Liuyue slowly clenched her hands.

The reason she was so worried was partly due to her ancestor and the great phoenix dragon clan having a long-term grudge. On the other hand… Back when she helped Zi Chen to reform his physical body, she used the two wings of the great phoenix dragon’s corpse!

Even though the remaining corpse had been sealed in the Heavenly Square Cauldron the whole time… A great phoenix dragon clan member was outside the academy barrier, and she felt that it would be a huge trouble. It was like a bomb that would suddenly explode at some point!

Boom!

Another loud sound was heard—it was the commotion from Million Wine Mountain!

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows and turned her head over.

In the skies above Million Wine Mountain, the dark clouds gathered and formed a giant vortex. The sky was gloomy, and the storm brewed; it was as if it would swallow the entire Million Wine Mountain!

The sounds of thunder came from the clouds. The silver snake-like lightning bolts swam around and lit up the sky from time to time, yet they made everything here more strange and terrifying.

The turbulent winds preceded the storms.

From here, one could still see the figures of Elder Bo Yan and the rest rushing toward Million Wine Mountain. In the dark skies, their figures were actually so small.

Chu Liuyue slowly clenched her hand tightly.

…

Million Wine Mountain.

When Elder Bo Yan and the rest rushed over, they realized that the barrier outside the mountain had shattered. This was also one of the reasons why the crowd saw the commotion so clearly.

However, this wasn’t the most worrying thing for the elders. That was because the fountain above the mountain had already stopped flowing!

It was still daytime now!

“The fountain seems like it’s going to freeze!” Elder Wan Zheng hollered, and rare panic flashed across his eyes.

“How did that happen?” Elder Hua Feng gasped. “There are so many lightning bolts gathered in it. Logically speaking, at this time, it’s impossible—”

Elder Bo Yan was swift and decisive. “Immediately guide the lightning into the fountain!”

At this point, they didn’t have time to think about why such a thing happened. The most urgent thing now was to solve the problem!

Elder Wan Zheng and Elder Hua Feng nodded with stern expressions.

With Elder Bo Yan in the lead, their figures flashed as they rushed toward that fountain!

Boom!

A lightning bolt suddenly struck—it landed in front of Elder Bo Yan!

Fire sparks flew everywhere!

The terrifying strength seemed to want to rip everything apart!

Elder Bo Yan was stunned and immediately set up a barrier around him! At the same time, he retreated!

However, his chest still felt stifled by the remaining shock!

“Bo Yan!”

“What’s the matter? Are you okay?”

The two elders immediately went forward and stopped him.

Elder Bo Yan shook his head, yet his expression was ugly. “I’m fine, but this fountain—”

Coincidentally, an ear-piercing sound was heard at this moment.

The few of them looked up, and it was Elder Ouyang!

His expression was anxious as he rushed over. When he saw that the sides of the fountain were frozen, he couldn’t help but be taken aback and scolded, “Who the hell stole the lightning strength inside here?!”
