10: Tianxian Academy

"Who's there!?"

Everyone was greatly shocked.

One must know that Lu Chen and Chi Yan Old Man were both Peak Martial Emperor Realm experts, existences hard to find rivals for in the surrounding Empires.

Now, they were both sent flying a hundred zhang by a ruler wreathed in flames!?

Such a terrifying event not only seemed inconceivable to Nangong Qian and the others, but even Lu Chen and Chi Yan Old Man themselves were stunned on the spot.

"Who are you? Have you considered the consequences of offending both of us simultaneously?"

Lu Chen and Chi Yan Old Man, who had just been at loggerheads, now faced with the interference of a third party, unexpectedly united against a common enemy.

"Consequences? Heh heh, two mere Martial Emperors might be considered figures in this corner of the continent, but if you step out of here, what are you two even worth?"

From the Void Realm, a slightly disdainful chuckle from an old man echoed.

The old man's laughter sounded extremely harsh in Lu Chen and Chi Yan Old Man's ears; Martial Emperor experts were clearly existences revered by countless people within the Empire.

But in the other party's eyes, they seemed as insignificant as slightly larger ants.

"Your Excellency truly has a big mouth!"

"Fellow Daoist, do you dare to announce your name, so this Venerable can know whether Your Excellency is truly qualified to say such words!"

Lu Chen's expression was stern, but facing a mysterious expert who had repelled both of them with a single move, he retained a few reservations, not daring to be overly aggressive, wanting to first ascertain their identity before making plans.

"With you, I'm afraid you're not yet qualified to know this old man's origins."

The old man smiled faintly, and as his voice fell, his figure slowly emerged from the Void Realm.

Without any superfluous words, the moment the old man appeared, he smiled and extended his large hand, gently clenching it in the air towards Lu Chen.

The space where Lu Chen was located began to slowly solidify under this grasp, as if transforming into a spatial prison.

"Space solidification!?"

"You are a Martial Venerable expert!"

Lu Chen's face changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.

"Run!"

Chi Yan Old Man's pupils constricted even further, and he immediately didn't dare to utter a sound, turning to leave.

On the other side, Lu Chen also quickly reacted after his initial shock, escaping through the gaps before the spatial prison fully formed, and then likewise ran away without saying a word.

In front of a Martial Venerable expert, the two Martial Emperors dared not linger, fleeing at extreme speed without even daring to say another word.

"Heh heh..."

The mysterious Martial Venerable old man also had no killing intent; after startling Lu Chen and the other away, he chuckled softly, then dispersed the terrifying spatial power.

Watching this scene, Nangong Qian and the others were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping.

A Martial Venerable expert!?

They simply couldn't believe their eyes, that a Martial Venerable expert would appear in their small Black Cloud City.

Before everyone could recover, the Martial Venerable old man had already descended from the sky to stand before Nangong Xueli, and after a thorough appraisal, he nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, it truly is the Fire Spirit Immortal Body! Although it was formed Acquired, it is still extremely rare and precious."

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Nangong Xueli, the old man slapped his forehead, then chuckled, "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself."

"This old man, Ge Feng, is the Outer Court Dean of Celestial Immortal Academy. Secret techniques detected the emergence of a Fire Spirit Immortal Body here, so I specifically came to investigate."

"Are you willing to be my student and Cultivate at my Celestial Immortal Academy?"

The other party's casual words, however, instantly shocked Nangong Qian and the others.

"Celestial Immortal Academy, that's the number one Academy on the continent!"

"I heard that Celestial Immortal Academy has experts as numerous as clouds, and is preeminent even in Zhongzhou. Looking at our entire Eastern Barren, perhaps only Saint Essence Sect can compare to it."

"Oh my god, I didn't expect the Dean of Celestial Immortal Academy to personally come to the Nangong Family to take a Disciple!"

Earlier, the appearance of Lu Chen and Chi Yan Old Man had also attracted many people from the city to watch.

Now, hearing that this mysterious expert, who had startled Lu Chen and Chi Yan Old Man away, was actually from Celestial Immortal Academy in Zhongzhou, everyone's faces showed extremely shocked expressions.

Even Nangong Xueli herself was somewhat surprised at this moment.

She hadn't expected that she had just recently, with the help of Yao Mu, used the many precious medicines sent by Lin Yang to reshape her Acquired Fire Spirit Immortal Body.

And Celestial Immortal Academy, far away in Zhongzhou, had already learned that a Fire Spirit Immortal Body had emerged in the world, and had dispatched a Martial Venerable expert to cross space.

"Celestial Immortal Academy, huh... This Academy has a very significant background. An Innate Fire Spirit Immortal Body once appeared there, so it's not surprising that they have the means to find you."

In the ring, Yao Mu was silent for a moment, then also secretly nodded, saying:

"It just so happens that you now need a place rich in Spiritual Qi to begin Cultivating again. Since Celestial Immortal Academy has actively sought you out, you might as well follow him to Zhongzhou."

Hearing that even Yao Mu said so, Nangong Xueli nodded her head slightly, and thus did not refuse Celestial Immortal Academy's invitation.

Next, after Nangong Xueli simply packed some personal belongings from home, she, accompanied by Ge Feng, arrived before a long-distance spatial teleportation array carefully constructed by the other party.

Before entering the array, Nangong Xueli suddenly stopped, slowly turned her head, and looked towards the direction of Saint Essence Sect.

"Lin Yang, wait for me, I will definitely catch up to you!"

After gazing for a moment, Nangong Xueli, with determined eyes, stepped onto the spatial teleportation array heading to Zhongzhou.

......

Seven days later.

Saint Essence Sect.

Lin Yang's Cultivation had completely stabilized at the Martial King Realm.

And in these few days, Lin Yang also received news that Nangong Xueli had actually Awakened the Acquired Fire Spirit Immortal Body and had been taken away by the Dean of Celestial Immortal Academy in Zhongzhou.

"I told you this engagement couldn't be broken off..."

Lin Yang secretly rejoiced that he had withstood the pressure from many elders of his Sect and had not gone to break off the engagement.

Otherwise, if he and his little wife were now sworn enemies, he would definitely be in for trouble later.

"Senior Brother Lin Yang, Sect Master wants you to go to the guest hall on the back mountain."

Just then, Shen Youchu, the female Disciple who had previously delivered a message to Lin Yang, appeared outside again, relaying Mu Yunxi's order for Lin Yang to go to her immediately.

Lin Yang, having received his Revered Master's message, immediately set off.

......

Back mountain, inside the guest hall.

"Giggle giggle~"

As soon as Lin Yang approached the hall entrance, he heard the sound of women's laughter coming from inside.

"Yunxi, it's been years, and your little hands are still so soft, and this has grown quite a bit too~"

"Don't be so hands-on! My Disciple is here!"

Lin Yang heard the commotion from inside and immediately knew that the old Sect Master of Lily Sect had come again to take advantage of his cold and beautiful Revered Master.
