Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

The old Daoist looked at Xia Jingxue with a smile that was not a smile. Finally, his gaze gathered on Ao Lingchen. His voice was slightly teasing, "How is it, little brother? You're not going to fight anymore, right?"    

Although he was not clear about the relationship between Ao Lingchen and Xia Jingxue, the old Daoist could tell that the latter could completely affect the young man's decision.    

Hearing the teasing words beside his ear, Ao Lingchen helplessly rolled his eyes at the old man. This kind of situation and even asking the obvious, this person was really annoying.    

Calming down the fluctuation in his heart, Ao Lingchen cupped his fists with both hands and spoke with a serious expression. "Senior, I apologize for my offense just now. Please don't take offense. I have a presumptuous request. I hope senior can tell me about Dean Xia!"    

No matter how dissatisfied he was with the barbarian princess behind the old Daoist, Ao Lingchen would not make a move in order to know about Dean Xia. There was a limit to the severity of the matter. Now was not the time for combat power.    

"With my relationship with Princess Zi Yun and Little Xia, I can tell you that there is no problem." The old Daoist stroked his white beard and said casually, "This matter happened a month ago. I received some news about Twilight City. It seems like the Ye family of Twilight City was the one who took the lead and joined forces with the numerous powers of Twilight City, as well as the people of the nearby cities. Together, they attacked the Tianwu Academy. "    

"What?" Before the old Daoist could finish his words, Xia Jingxue spoke with a furious expression, "How could the Ye family be so shameless? How dare they attack the Tianwu Academy, as well as those fence-sitters? I will never let them go!"    

Xia Jingxue suddenly spoke. The old Daoist frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with being interrupted.    

"Senior, Jingxue is also worried about her father. I hope you don't take offense. Please continue!"    

Ao Lingchen stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Jingxue's arm. He humbly cupped his fists and apologized. Now was not the time to be anxious. He had to understand the situation in Twilight City as much as possible. If he returned to Twilight City like a blind fly, he would die without even knowing how.    

The old Daoist chuckled, "When Father is in danger, it is inevitable for him to be anxious. This is a matter of human nature."    

"Actually, I don't know much. I only know that the Tianwu Academy has been forced to seal the mountain gate. The grass and wood are all soldiers. From time to time, we have to deal with assassinations and sneak attacks. Most importantly, the information I know is from a month ago. I don't know what's going on right now, so I need you to find out by yourselves."    

The old Daoist said with emotion. Although he didn't have much contact with the Tianwu Academy, he had met Dean Xia several times. It was a good thing that he nodded his head. He knew that Dean Xia was a good person, but unfortunately, he wasn't in a good situation.    

"Thank you for telling me this, senior. I will remember this kindness in my heart."    

Ao Lingchen's eyes were deep and his expression was solemn. He politely cupped his hands. Although the news was from a month ago, it was still very important to him.    

"It was nothing!"    

The old Daoist smiled faintly. To him, the news just now was really a piece of cake. Even if he didn't say it, Ao Lingchen and the others would know very soon. He just wanted them to know in advance. If he could make these young men owe him a favor because of this, it seemed to be a very good thing.    

He was old, but he wasn't muddled by age. He could clearly see the extraordinary talent of these people in front of him. At such a young age, they already possessed strength no less than his. If they were given a few more days, who could guarantee that they wouldn't soar into the sky?    

Hence, forming some good karma with them in advance was a very good choice.    

"Senior, the academy is in trouble, so we won't be staying for long. We'll take our leave first. The next time we meet, I'll definitely properly thank you."    

Thinking of the situation the Tianwu Academy was facing, Ao Lingchen really didn't have the mood to enter the Imperial Capital anymore. He really wanted to rush back to the Twilight City immediately.    

"I understand. We'll meet again if fate allows it!"    

The old Daoist nodded his head in understanding. He could understand the feelings of the few people in front of him.    

After saying goodbye to the old Daoist, Ao Lingchen and the others did not stop at all. They ran towards Twilight City with heavy hearts.    

They moved as fast as the wind. Ao Lingchen and the others shuttled through the forest. Each of them had a serious expression on their faces.    

"Don't worry. The dean is so powerful, and the foundation of the academy is also very strong. Even if the Ye family and the others want to deal with them, they won't be able to gain any benefits. Perhaps their situation will be more difficult. But nothing will happen to them. "    

As he spoke, Ao Lingchen dashed forward and grabbed Xia Jingxue's left hand with his right hand. He held her hand tightly, which was as cold as ice.    

Feeling the temperature entering his palm, Ao Lingchen subconsciously exerted force.    

The warmth that came from that cold palm made the anxious Xia Jingxue nod her head in relief. Fortunately, Ao Lingchen was by her side at this time. Otherwise, she really did not know what to do.    

"That's right. The Tianwu Academy's foundation isn't weaker than theirs. It won't be so easy for them to deal with us. When we return to Twilight City, everything will be resolved!"    

Suen Zhiming, who didn't speak along the way, gritted his teeth and spoke. Although he didn't speak just now, it didn't mean that he wasn't angry.    

The atmosphere was stifling. Not only did the speed of their journey not slow down because of the long journey, but it also increased gradually.    

The sun rose and set. The journey that originally took two days was actually rushed in a short day under the crazy rush of everyone.    

Under the dim moonlight and the hazy fog, an ancient city appeared in front of Ao Lingchen and the others. From afar, it looked like a Giant Beast that was hiding on the ground.    

That was the Twilight City that everyone was looking forward to!    

"Everyone, recover your Yuan Qi here and adjust your condition to your best. We will enter the city."    

Ao Lingchen stood under a large tree with lush branches and leaves. He held Xia Jingxue's hand and said.    

According to Xia Jingxue's original plan, they should enter the city and rush back to the Tianwu Academy.    

However, Ao Lingchen intercepted her and prevented her from entering the city in this state.    

Ao Lingchen naturally had his reasons for doing so. Even with his strong physique, he was still unable to endure the running of the city. His body was extremely tired.    

His Yuan energy was almost depleted and he had little energy left. In this condition, not to mention the fact that he might face many families of Ye family and Twilight City after entering the city, even facing a single Ye family would be very taxing.    

Rather than taking such a risk, he might as well recover his strength and Yuan energy first. After entering the city, he could kill all his enemies with an invincible manner, and thus resolve the crisis of Tianwu Academy.    

His family was right in front of him, and it was unknown whether his father was still alive or dead. Xia Jingxue originally didn't want to do this, but under Ao Lingchen's firm gaze, she still chose to obey in the end.    

At this time, other than relying on Ao Lingchen as the backbone, Xia Jingxue seemed to have no roots.    

"Recover well. Let's kill our way back!"    

Suen Zhiming sat cross-legged on the spot. He casually scattered the Essence Stone on the ground and then closed his eyes tightly.    

Although Suen Zhiming was anxious in his heart, he did not lose his reason. He knew very well that Ao Lingchen's arrangement was the most appropriate. Since the Ye family dared to ally with many families to attack the Tianwu Academy... If they entered the city in their current condition... If they could recover to their peak condition... No matter what the Ye family had to rely on, they would be able to deal with it with force.    

With Suen Zhiming taking the lead, the rest of them, including Xia Jingxue, closed their eyes and started circulating their cultivation techniques. They were using the fastest speed to recover the Yuan Qi and physical strength they had consumed, in preparation for the upcoming fierce battle.
