“Hua Feng?” Elder Long Ze had a look of disbelief. Didn’t I already clearly say that it was enough for a few elders to go over under such circumstances? How could he add an additional student? It’s fine if it is someone like Rong Xiu, but Chu Yue has only been enrolled at the academy for a few months. How could he go? 

“You’re kidding, right?!”

Elder Hua Feng also felt embarrassed, but he had already said it. How could he go back on his words?

Besides… He was originally rather open-minded about this matter.

On the one hand, Chu Yue did have the right to go over previously but didn’t make it on time. On the other hand, his legendary fiend was too formidable, and he shouldn’t become a burden. He might even be able to help at critical moments.

He still clearly recalled the scene of all the fiends kneeling toward Chu Yue that night.

Other than this, there was another point. It seemed hard for him to reject Chu Yue’s request. Anyway, for some reason, he just really liked this kid and doted on him a lot.

Even if he knew that other people would object to this, he still did it. It was just because he didn’t want to see that pair of eyes show sadness or grievances.

Even he could not clearly state what kind of feeling this was. He wasn’t even this nice to his own disciples!

“Ahem. Actually, Chu Yue should’ve gone over previously, but he suddenly fell ill on the day itself, so he missed the chance. He has already recovered now, so he wants to follow us and take a look. I-I thought about it and agreed.” Saying this, Elder Hua Feng hurriedly added, “But don’t worry. This child is very sensible; he won’t cause you any trouble!”

The few elders kept quiet and didn’t speak. They had stern expressions and clearly disagreed with it.

Elder Hua Feng patted Chu Liuyue’s shoulders. “Don’t worry. If something really happens, I, Hua Feng, will be fully responsible!”

Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled, and she couldn’t help but turn around to look at him.

He seemed very determined as if he had already made up his mind to protect her till the end.

There seemed to be something coursing through Chu Liuyue’s chest. She looked down and hid the ripples in her eyes.

“Hua Feng, this isn’t child’s play. Have you thought about this clearly?” Elder Long Ze asked with a low voice.

Elder Hua Feng nodded again. “Long Ze, I know what I’m doing.”

The two of them exchanged a glance and kept quiet for quite some time. They were silently exchanging blows!

Finally, Elder Long Ze was the first to look away, and his sharp gaze scanned Chu Liuyue’s body. “Kid, you are a little capable. Since Hua Feng is bent on vouching for you, then we’ll allow you to come with us. But if anything happens… you must be fully responsible for the outcome yourself!”

What kind of place was the Flood-Desert Northern Region?

Those people in front were safer because they had gone together. But these few people were heading there to support them. Nobody could guarantee that they wouldn’t run into trouble.

Chu Yue was really a sore thumb sticking out in the middle of all these elders.

Chu Liuyue seriously said, “I understand.”

Elder Long Ze furrowed his brows, glanced at Elder Hua Feng, and helplessly shook his head. Forget it. Let them try it out on their own, and they’ll know how dangerous it is! 



Receiving permission, Chu Liuyue could finally go forward and saw the transportation formation clearly.

It was just a circular-shaped transportation formation with a copper body that seemed traditional and thick. In the middle was an engraving of Ling Xiao Academy’s totem.

It wasn’t very large, but it was made meticulously.

Standing at the side, Chu Liuyue could faintly feel the shocking suppression coming from it.

Elder Long Ze and the rest stood around the transportation formation, and each took out their own green jade plaques.

Countless rays of light flew out from the green jade plaques floating in mid-air before they gathered above the transportation formation.

The sparkling yet not bright rays of light instantly flew out in all directions, wrapping the entire Xuan formation. Then, a holy and heavy aura spread out from within!

Chu Liuyue unwittingly straightened her back and stared at that transportation formation closely. At this moment, she could confirm that this transportation formation was of the highest grade out of all the other ones she had seen in her life!

Elder Hua Feng and the rest were also stern as they hurriedly walked up the transportation formation.

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and followed them.

As force kept accumulating in it, the transportation formation was finally activated slowly.

Whoosh!

A ray of light sparkled, and the few people’s figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

Elder Long Ze looked at the empty transportation formation and shook his head. Now, I can only hope that everything will be smooth-sailing… 



After entering the transportation formation, the surrounding turbulence was instantly separated. Everything was stable in the surroundings, but it was too quiet.

Chu Liuyue naturally knew that it was because of her, so she quietly stood at the side and tried her best to minimize her existence.

After a moment, an elder finally spoke. “Hua Feng, you refused to say it earlier, but you can now tell us why exactly we’re going there, right?”

Once he said this, the other people all glanced at Hua Feng.

Even Chu Liuyue had her ears pricked up. She was also very curious as to what Elder Long Ze had told Elder Hua Feng previously.

Elder Hua Feng nodded. “Just now, I didn’t tell you guys clearly because the matter was too important.”

His voice became much lower, and it seemed irregularly distant and intimate at the same time. This caused the few people present to be slightly nervous as well.

Then, they heard Elder Hua Feng explain, “Bo Yan wants us to go over this time because… the Heavenly Square Cauldron has already appeared in the Flood-Desert Northern Region!”

Chu Liuyue suddenly opened her eyes, and shock flashed across them! Luckily, everyone’s attention was attracted by Elder Hua Feng’s one sentence at this moment, so nobody saw the change in her expression at this point.

“Really?” An elder first said in surprise, “It appeared so quickly? If Bo Yan wants us to go over, then does it mean that… they’re currently fighting for the Heavenly Square Cauldron and even have hope?”

Elder Hua Feng shook his head. “I can’t confirm that now, but I’m sure that the Flood-Desert Northern Region is in chaos. After we reach, I’m afraid there will be more than one intense battle.”

Even if one thought with their feet, they would know that many, many people would be going down this time! If one wanted to stand out amongst all these people and snatch the Heavenly Square Cauldron back, it would be as hard as ascending the skies.

However, this news still hyped the elders up. As long as we have a ray of hope, we must fight till the end. 

Chu Liuyue hesitated for a moment and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Hua Feng, did… Elder Bo Yan really send this message back?”
