"Mo Yu, you can't protect them! Once the great army of the Hun Clan arrives, you will all die!" Before his death, Hun You spat out his final, venomous words.
"Reinforcements?"
Hearing this, Su Qian and the others were instantly shocked.
At the same time, just as all the invading enemies were annihilated, several figures swiftly appeared in the sky above the academy under Su Qian and the others' vigilant gazes. As these figures emerged, a terrifying aura silently spread across the area.
"Dou Sheng?"
Sensing this bone-chilling, horrifying aura, Su Qian and Elder Bai and Elder Qian's scalps tingled. The newcomers… were all legendary Dou Sheng experts?
"Haha, Su Qian, it seems you're quite suited to managing the academy..."
As Su Qian and the others involuntarily wiped away cold sweat, a sudden burst of laughter echoed from the sky. Immediately after, an elderly figure slowly descended, appearing before everyone's eyes.
"Headmaster?"
Upon seeing the smiling old man walking through the air, Su Qian and the others were momentarily stunned before exclaiming in shock.
"Heh heh."
The newcomer was none other than Jia Nan Academy's headmaster—Mang Tianchi.
He smiled as he looked at Su Qian and the others, then swept his gaze across the academy grounds, nodding in satisfaction. Compared to when he had left all those years ago, the scale of the academy had improved significantly.
"Let's go down and talk first."
Mang Tianchi did not treat himself as an outsider, despite having been missing for decades. He waved his hand casually, then looked up toward the sky and chuckled.
"Elder Mo Yu, young brother Xiao Yan, why don't you both show yourselves?"
After the Battle of Burial Mountain Range, in recognition of Mo Yu's contributions, Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, had rewarded him with the position of Enforcement Elder within the clan. Because of this, as a member of the Lei Clan, Mang Tianchi could no longer treat Mo Yu with the same attitude as before.
Hearing this, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged glances in the sky before descending under the watchful eyes of the crowd, bringing Xun'er and several other Dou Sheng experts from the allied forces with them. Mo Yu cupped his hands toward Su Qian and smiled.
"Grand Elder, it's been years. I trust you've been well?"
"You two brats! So many years without any word—I almost thought something had happened to you." Seeing the much more mature Mo Yu and Xiao Yan compared to a decade ago, Su Qian couldn't help but laugh.
"Grand Elder."
Behind Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, Xun'er also smiled gently. Her elegant and composed demeanor made many of the surrounding students stare in awe. A girl of this caliber was simply unmatched within the entire academy.
"Xun'er…"
Su Qian also smiled and nodded upon seeing her.
"We pay our respects to the Manor Lord!"
To the side, the Yao Clan's three brothers suddenly cupped their fists and bowed, their expressions filled with excitement.
"Oh, it's you three—the Yao brothers."
Mo Yu smiled upon seeing his former subordinates and chuckled, "You've done well maintaining order in the Black-Corner Region over the years without any major incidents."
"It was our failure not to protect Jia Nan Academy properly!"
Hearing that Mo Yu still remembered them, Yao Da's face filled with emotion. In Yuan Manor, Mo Yu was a legendary existence. He had thought that Mo Yu had long since forgotten his name.
"It wasn't your fault. The enemies here were beyond what the Black-Corner Region branch could handle. After some time, you three should head to the Central Plains headquarters for training. With diligent effort, breaking through to Dou Zun shouldn't be a problem."
Mo Yu chuckled. If given the opportunity, he was more than willing to nurture capable subordinates who had rendered meritorious service.
"Thank you, Manor Lord!"
Upon hearing this, the Yao brothers were ecstatic. The Yuan Manor headquarters was a place they had long dreamed of reaching.
Now, with Mo Yu personally promising them the chance to advance to Dou Zun, how could they not be thrilled? Even Su Qian, standing nearby, was stunned by Mo Yu's generosity.
Mo Yu waved his hand dismissively, about to speak when several figures suddenly flashed through the sky, quickly arriving beside him—it was Cai Lin and the others.
"The remaining remnants of the Hun Clan in other areas have also been completely eradicated," Cai Lin said as she landed gracefully, a faint smile appearing on her cold yet stunning face.
Su Qian and the others felt their hearts tremble as they looked at the ten or so people surrounding Mo Yu. They realized that all of these individuals had reached the level of Dou Sheng.
Such a lineup was enough to leave people utterly speechless. It took them a long time before they could bitterly smile and ask, "What exactly is going on here?"
"Some troublesome matters."
Xiao Yan and Mo Yu exchanged glances, their expressions turning more serious.
"In the coming days, evacuate the academy's students as quickly as possible. The Black-Corner Region… is about to experience a major upheaval," Mang Tianchi said solemnly.
Hearing this, Su Qian's expression changed slightly before hesitantly replying, "But with so many students, where can we possibly evacuate them all at once? We don't have enough manpower to ensure their safe departure."
Mang Tianchi furrowed his brows at these words.
"The students won't be too much trouble. When the time comes, we can have them hide in the Deathly World for a while," Mo Yu said with a smile. "As for what's happening, we can discuss it inside."
"Alright."
Although Su Qian had no idea what the Deathly World was, he could only nod. After instructing several elders to calm the students, he quickly led the way toward the academy's council hall.
Mo Yu, Xiao Yan, and the others followed closely behind, leaving behind a crowd of students watching in awe.
Inside the council hall, after brief introductions, everyone took their seats.
"Many forces within the Black-Corner Region have already been slaughtered by the Hall of Souls. However, those invaders from earlier have all been eliminated," Mo Yu said calmly, his gaze sweeping across the room.
Upon hearing this, Su Qian and the others couldn't help but shudder. Given the terrifying strength of Mo Yu's group, it wasn't hard to imagine that if they truly wished to wipe out the entire Black-Corner Region, it wouldn't be impossible.
"You two are truly extraordinary. In just over a decade, you've reached such heights," Su Qian remarked, looking at Mo Yu and Xiao Yan with an odd expression.
Even though Mang Tianchi had glossed over many details earlier, Su Qian could still sense the immense dangers these two had faced.
The other elders, including Qianbai and the academy's senior members, all nodded in agreement. Back when Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had left, they had only been at the Dou Huang level.
Yet now, they were among the strongest beings in the world—so rare that only a handful could rival them.
This level of achievement was truly astonishing.
"So, according to the Headmaster, the reason the Black-Corner Region is facing this disaster… is because of that underground magma world beneath our academy?" Elder Bai and Elder Qian exchanged glances with Su Qian, his face filled with shock.
"There may be something down there that the Hun Clan desperately needs—something they are willing to obtain at any cost," Mang Tianchi said, his expression grave.
"What we've encountered so far is only a vanguard force. Soon, the entire Hun Clan army might arrive. When that happens, a world-shaking battle will be inevitable. These students… cannot remain here indefinitely," Mo Yu stated firmly.
Su Qian and the others exchanged bitter smiles. This was truly an unexpected calamity. They had simply been instructing students as usual, yet who could have foreseen that such trouble would come knocking? And this trouble stemmed from none other than the most formidable force on the Dou Qi Continent…
"If not for your timely arrival today, I'm afraid the Black-Corner Region would have been bathed in blood," Su Qian sighed lightly. He had witnessed the methods of those Hun Clan members earlier. If not for Xiao Yan's sudden appearance, this place might have already turned into a sea of corpses and rivers of blood.
"Grand Elder, rest assured. Though the Hun Clan is strong, our allied forces do not fear them. We will never allow them to destroy Jia Nan Academy so easily," Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and spoke with unwavering certainty.
Hearing this, Su Qian gazed at these two outstanding young men and could not help but shake his head in amazement. What kind of fortune had befallen Jia Nan Academy to cultivate such exceptional students?
"Heh heh, this brat is now someone who can stand on equal footing with the Patriach. If you put it that way, as the Headmaster here, I still get to hold some authority over both of them," Mang Tianchi laughed strangely.
When it came to the monstrous talents of Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, he had long regarded them as freaks.
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly at this, then his expression turned serious as he said, "Elder Mang, be more vigilant during this period. If any Hun Clan experts are spotted, immediately sound the alarm.
The follow-up forces of our allied army will gradually make their way here as well."
Mo Yu nodded and added, "Exactly. Xun'er and Elder Mang should remain outside. Xiao Yan and I will head into the Magma World."
If he remembered correctly, the old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was trapped within the Magma World. This was the perfect opportunity to investigate.
Hearing Mo Yu's decision to venture into the Magma World, Su Qian and the others were initially startled. However, recalling Mo Yu's terrifying strength, they relaxed. Though the Magma World was mysterious and unpredictable, with such power, retreating unscathed should not be an issue.
"Yes, my thoughts are the same as Mo Yu's. Since that's the case, there's no time to waste. Let's depart now…" Xiao Yan, known for his decisiveness, immediately stood up when he saw that Mo Yu's plan aligned with his own.
Su Qian and the others exchanged glances before slowly nodding.
…
Inner Academy, bottom level of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
After bidding farewell to Xun'er, Xiao Yan turned to Mo Yu and said, "Cousin, let's go."
"Mm." Mo Yu looked into the bottomless Magma World and gave a slight nod.
The next moment, the two exchanged a glance, then, without hesitation, their figures turned into black streaks of light as they shot into the passage leading to the Magma World below.
After many years, the Magma World remained as crimson as ever, stretching endlessly into the horizon.
"Chi!"
Upon entering the magma, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan swiftly dove toward the depths at an incredible speed.
The surrounding magma evaporated automatically within half a meter of their bodies. With the power of the Divine Wood Gang Thunder and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, this magma was utterly unqualified to cause any hindrance.
In less than ten minutes, the two had already ventured deep into the magma. At the same time, their speed gradually slowed.
Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged looks. They could sense many concealed auras rapidly closing in on them.
"Magma creatures. Leave them to me…" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile. His foot suddenly stamped lightly, and a vast soul ripple burst from his brow.
"Boom!"
The surrounding magma exploded, and several figures hidden within it let out shrill screams.
"Chi chi!"
With the cries, the magma around them surged violently. Mo Yu could see that a swarm of crimson figures was surging toward them from all directions, eventually encircling Xiao Yan.
Among these magma lizard-like creatures, two stood out—they were entirely milky white, appearing much older than the others. What was truly surprising was that these two had actually reached the level of Ban Sheng!
"Humans, this is the Graveyard of the Gods. It is not a place for you. Leave now, or you will awaken the Guardian and be buried here forever!"
One of the two milky-white lizardmen spoke in a halting, crude voice, but the message was clear to Xiao Yan's ears.
"Graveyard of the Gods? Guardian?"
Hearing these terms, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, both noticing a flicker of intrigue in each other's eyes.
"There really is something unusual at the bottom of this magma. Looks like we've found the right place," Xiao Yan said with a hint of excitement.
"Mm. Time is pressing—we must continue deeper. Since the Hun Clan has discovered this place, they'll likely arrive soon," Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded. He then glanced at the bizarre creatures surrounding them and smiled, "Since there's a Guardian, I wonder… what exactly are they guarding?"
"Humans, leave now, or die!"
The two milky-white flame lizardmen stared at Mo Yu and Xiao Yan with icy eyes, their voices still crude and slow.
As their words fell, the surrounding lizardmen's eyes glinted with savagery. The scales on their bodies seemed to darken ominously.
Seeing this, Mo Yu let out a cold snort. Without moving, a vast soul ripple shot out from his brow like lightning.
"Buzz buzz!"
As the soul ripple spread, the magma began to churn violently, accompanied by a faint humming sound.
In an instant, the flame lizardmen around them trembled. A soul pressure akin to heavenly might surged into their very souls, causing them to shudder uncontrollably. Their formation descended into chaos…
Upon witnessing this, the two milky-white flame lizardmen's expressions changed drastically. Before they could shout, a mass of thunderous liquid exploded before them. A violent surge of lightning energy enveloped their bodies, leaving them on the brink of death.
Dispatching the enemies effortlessly, Mo Yu nodded toward Xiao Yan. The two figures turned into streaks of light and shot toward the depths of the magma…
