341: Meeting, snow-white flames
That woman calmly glanced in the direction where Ji Wuchang had disappeared, then turned and left. She was Jia Yi!
Just then, a corpse slid down from a corner not far away. There was a bloody hole in the center of its forehead, and its eyes were wide open, filled with terror.
This corpse belonged to Bai Chongguang!
He never dreamed that the other party would finish him off so directly!
Ji Wuchang's figure appeared near the small courtyard, and he immediately saw the Old Academy Head nearby.
The Old Academy Head also seemed to sense something and looked toward Ji Wuchang!
The moment he saw Ji Wuchang, the Old Academy Head's body vanished instantly, appearing by Ji Wuchang's side in the blink of an eye.
Ji Wuchang and the Old Academy Head looked at each other, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the Old Academy Head's face!
"It's good that you're alright!"
The Old Academy Head spoke, letting out a heavy sigh of relief!
He had been extremely worried before, but thinking of Ji Wuchang's consistent performance, he had managed to relax slightly!
Only now, seeing the person for real, was he completely at ease!
"Wuchang pays respects to the Head!"
Ji Wuchang's eyes were slightly red. A weak Primordial Spirit appeared in his hand; it belonged to Qian Wuguang!
Qian Wuguang's Lifespan was nearly exhausted, and with his Physical Body destroyed this time, there was no longer any possibility of survival!
Although this wisp of his Primordial Spirit had been preserved by Ji Wuchang, its dissipation was only a matter of time!
The Old Academy Head looked at the faint Primordial Spirit in Ji Wuchang's palm. His body trembled slightly as he reached out to slowly take it.
"Old fellow, I've failed you!"
The Old Academy Head spoke to Qian Wuguang's Primordial Spirit, his face full of guilt.
If he hadn't come to Qian Wuguang's place, the other man would surely have enjoyed his later years in peace instead of ending up in such a miserable state!
Qian Wuguang's Primordial Spirit was drowsy, but it suddenly sensed something and opened its weak eyes.
The moment he saw the Old Academy Head, a smile appeared on Qian Wuguang's Primordial Spirit!
"Old fellow, I'm going. I shouldn't have brought shame to you!"
"But after all these years, your judgment still hasn't improved. You actually failed to see through Bai Chongguang!"
"However, young Ji is good. His future achievements will be limitless."
"To be able to finish this life like this, I have no regrets. At least when I leave, I still made use of my remaining warmth!"
"I owed you a favor back then. Now I've repaid it. From now on, we owe each other nothing!"
After Qian Wuguang's Primordial Spirit finished these words, he laughed heartily. His Primordial Spirit was rapidly fading.
Seeing this, the Old Academy Head couldn't help but shed tears. His lips trembled, and he opened his mouth several times, but not a single word came out!
Seeing Qian Wuguang's Primordial Spirit becoming thinner and thinner, about to vanish completely, he finally spoke tremblingly!
"Qian Wuguang, you old fellow, even in death you want me to owe you a favor!"
"Go in peace... Those juniors of the Qian family, I will take them... to the Academy!"
"As long as I am around, I won't let them suffer!"
Qian Wuguang seemed to understand these words. Before his Primordial Spirit dissipated, he showed a look of relief.
Looking at his empty hands, the Old Academy Head's expression was sorrowful, and he seemed to have aged quite a bit.
Ji Wuchang had also heard Qian Wuguang's words just now. He realized instantly that Bai Chongguang indeed had issues.
He glanced around and actually didn't see Jiang Yuanxiong's figure, causing him to frown!
Then, seeing the Old Academy Head's sorrowful expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The human heart is the most difficult thing to fathom. Bai Chongguang was also an old master of the Academy, yet he still betrayed it.
Inside an inn in Xinglong City, Rongcheng Duandao and Rongcheng Yiyun sat opposite each other.
Rongcheng Yiyun's face was still pale, but a faint trace of color had returned.
Seeing this, Rongcheng Duandao couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief!
Just then, a burst of frigid Qi suddenly erupted from within Rongcheng Yiyun's body, giving Rongcheng Duandao a fright.
"Young Miss, what's wrong?"
Rongcheng Duandao was naturally very shocked because the frigid Qi had just erupted yesterday. Logically, it should have been three days before the next outbreak.
Rongcheng Yiyun's body trembled slightly, and the trace of color on her face vanished instantly.
The frigid Qi around her was biting, and the temperature in the entire room plummeted.
Rongcheng Duandao made a prompt decision. With a wave of his hand, a spiritual energy barrier emerged, enveloping Rongcheng Yiyun.
This was not the wilderness, but an inn. Once this chill erupted outward, everyone in the inn would be turned directly into ice sculptures.
Rongcheng Duandao hurriedly took out a Jade Slip. This was given to him by Ji Wuchang, who told him to contact him immediately in case of emergency.
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly crushed the Jade Slip.
At this moment, the frigid Qi inside Rongcheng Yiyun's body surged out frantically. Within the spiritual energy barrier, a thick layer of frost immediately appeared.
Rongcheng Duandao was as anxious as an ant on a hot griddle; he had no idea what was happening.
Just as Rongcheng Duandao was so anxious he didn't know what to do, a figure flew from a distance and instantly appeared in the inn.
This person was precisely Ji Wuchang.
Behind him was an old man, the Old Academy Head.
The two hadn't even had time to discuss what happened after they were separated before Ji Wuchang received Rongcheng Duandao's summons.
He didn't have time to explain much to the Old Academy Head and rushed over excitedly.
Seeing Ji Wuchang appear, Rongcheng Duandao instantly felt relieved. He directly opened a crack in the spiritual energy barrier to let Ji Wuchang enter.
A piercing cold wind surged out from the crack, causing the surroundings to freeze instantly.
Rongcheng Duandao quickly closed the opening in the barrier. He looked at the barrier, his eyes filled with worry.
At this moment, he could no longer see anything inside the barrier. A thick layer of solid ice completely covered it, and even his Divine Soul could not probe inside!
The Old Academy Head approached Rongcheng Duandao. Looking at the biting cold spiritual energy barrier, his expression instantly became grave.
Inside the barrier, Ji Wuchang's Divine Soul dao platform, Five Elements Power, and Yin and Yang Taiji Diagram all rotated slowly, frantically devouring the frigid Qi within.
But this time, the frigid Qi was much more terrifying than before. Because all the cold was locked in and could not leak out, even Ji Wuchang could not devour it fast enough!
Ice began to slowly form on his body!
After half the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he was already covered by a thick layer of ice.
Ji Wuchang's body seemed to sense the crisis, and the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art began to operate automatically. Scorching spiritual energy flowed through every part of his body.
The frigid Qi that entered his body was evaporated completely by this scorching spiritual energy in just an instant.
Suddenly, as the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art circulated, he actually sensed a special heat within the frigid Qi.
This heat was extremely weak. If not for the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art being particularly sensitive to heat capture, he wouldn't have been able to sense it.
He guided this heat into his body, letting it gather and gradually form a tiny, snow-white flame.
Seeing this, Ji Wuchang was first stunned, then he suddenly thought of something and looked at Rongcheng Yiyun nearby with a strange expression.
