563: Chapter 563 Captured Alive

That kick from Li Heng shattered more than just the white marble plaza.

It shattered the worldview of everyone present.

Especially when the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, truly rose from the ground, transformed into a giant city floating in the sky, and charged into that pitch-black spatial rift.

Whether it was the Kunlun Academy Disciples or the surrendered soldiers of the Qingyun Immortal Sect kneeling on the ground.

Everyone's mind went blank.

"Where... where are we?"

A second-term New Student leaned against the nearby stone railing, his face pale and his voice trembling.

He felt the mountain beneath his feet vibrating slightly. Looking out through the light screen of the mountain-protecting Formation, he saw the bizarre turbulence of the Void Realm all around, with bands of colorful energy streaking past "the window" at high speeds—magnificent yet deadly.

"God knows!"

The companion beside him swallowed hard, his eyes glazed.

"Don't ask. If you must, the Dean just drove our home out."

"This isn't a spaceship anymore; this is a Mobile Grotto-heaven! No, it's a Mobile Divine Kingdom!"

Xie Wangsheng, the head of the Formation System, was currently squatting on the ground, stroking the plaza's floor with both hands, trying to understand the principles behind all this.

But the more he sensed, the more alarmed he became.

The entire Kunlun Mountain's Earth Veins, Spiritual Veins, and Formations were perfectly integrated by an unimaginable, great power, forming a self-consistent System.

This wasn't a Divine Ability at all.

This was creation!

'Treating an entire mountain range like a spaceship and organizing some cross-dimensional team building... The Dean's thought process is truly beyond the understanding of us Mortals.'

Xie Wangsheng shook his head with a bitter smile, completely giving up on his investigation.

Compared to the Dean, his proud talent for Formations was like a child's sandbox game in a kindergarten.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Inside the glittering golden statue of the God of Wealth at the mountain gate, the Divine Soul of the Grand Elder of Qingyun Immortal Sect was completely despondent.

He couldn't even muster thoughts of mockery or malice anymore.

All that remained was endless numbness.

A monster.

That man was simply a monster who could not be judged by common sense.

While everyone was still immersed in the massive shock, Li Heng's figure appeared at the peak of the main summit.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the surrounding turbulence of the Void Realm as if he were viewing the scenery in his own backyard.

"Liu Lian."

He suddenly spoke.

A white-haired figure appeared silently by his side.

"Dean."

Liu Lian's tone was as cold as ever, but deep in his eyes, a flicker of emotion was hidden.

Clearly, the Dean's move had also exceeded his imagination.

"Not bad."

Li Heng glanced at him and nodded. "You went to the moon and severed some useless Karma. Your sword is purer than before."

Liu Lian's body stiffened for a moment.

Going to the moon to slay Wu Gang and severing his Karma was his greatest secret.

He hadn't expected the Dean to see through it at a single glance.

He was silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"Thank you for your guidance, Dean."

Li Heng waved his hand dismissively.

"I wouldn't call it guidance; you walked the path yourself."

He paused and added another sentence.

"However, what is too rigid is easily broken. Sometimes, a sword that doesn't know how to bend isn't necessarily a good sword."

Liu Lian's pupils shifted slightly as if he had gained some insight, and he bowed deeply to Li Heng.

"This student understands."

Li Heng ignored him and turned his gaze toward the end of the Void Realm turbulence.

There, a broken, gray, and deathly silent continental fragment was slowly emerging.

"Get ready."

Li Heng's voice echoed throughout the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

"We have arrived."

Rumble!

Just as he finished speaking, the massive Kunlun Immortal Mountain shook violently, as if passing through a thick film of water.

The bizarre sights around them vanished instantly.

Replacing them was a gray sky, with an atmosphere filled with a scent of decay and decline.

The Kunlun Immortal Mountain descended slowly, finally settling firmly on a vast black plain.

The moment the mountain made contact with the ground, a dull roar erupted, causing the entire broken continent to tremble.

"Xie Wangsheng, Fang Yuan."

Li Heng's voice rang out again.

"Yes, Dean!" The two immediately stepped forward.

"Xie Wangsheng, take the Formation System Disciples and use Kunlun Mountain as the core to set up warning Formations and defensive barriers. I want this place to be as solid as a fortress within an hour."

"Fang Yuan, take the Magic Cultivation Department and Talisman Department Disciples to purify the surrounding foul Qi. I want the air here to be breathable for me."

"Understood!" The two took their orders and immediately set off with their respective department Disciples.

For a time, figures moved all over Kunlun Mountain. Beams of spiritual light shot into the sky as various Formation Flags and Talismans were methodically deployed.

The surrendered soldiers of the Qingyun Immortal Sect watched the skillful and efficient coordination of the Kunlun Disciples with even more complex expressions.

This wasn't just a Sect; it was practically a well-trained immortal army!

"Everyone else, rest where you are."

Li Heng clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"In two hours, a group barbecue at the main summit plaza."

"???"

Everyone was stunned.

Barbecue?

Dean, we just arrived in a dangerous world full of unknowns!

At such a serious moment, you mention a barbecue?

Isn't that a bit too casual!

However, seeing Li Heng's matter-of-fact expression, everyone could only swallow their complaints.

"Chen Pingan, Lu Miaomiao, you few from the Refining System, take a team out to scout the path and see if there are any living creatures in this godforsaken place."

Li Heng instructed the heads of the Refining System.

"Yes, Dean!"

Chen Pingan and Lu Miaomiao nodded immediately, selected a dozen elite Disciples from the Refining System, and with a flash of their bodies, they rushed out of Kunlun Mountain's range toward the distant dark plains.

As soon as they left the range of Kunlun Mountain's Spiritual Qi, they immediately felt the difference.

"The air here is so thin, and it feels very chaotic," one Disciple frowned.

"It's more than just chaotic."

Chen Pingan sensed it, his expression grave.

"The Laws of the Heavenly Dao here are fragmented. The Spiritual Qi is mixed with Death Qi and resentment. If an ordinary Cultivator stays here too long, their Dao Heart might become unstable, leading to Qi Deviation."

Lu Miaomiao nodded and looked toward a collapsed mountain range in the distance.

"It seems that Grand Elder of Qingyun Immortal Sect wasn't lying. This Qingyun Realm really is about to perish."

They investigated all the way, seeing nothing but broken walls and parched earth, without a trace of life.

Just when they thought the continent was completely dead.

From behind a pile of rocks in the distance, a rustling sound suddenly came.

A dozen sneaky figures were peeking toward them.

More accurately, they were looking at the towering, majestic immortal mountain that had appeared out of nowhere behind them, shrouded in Immortal Qi.

"Boss, did you see that? What... what is that?" a thin, small Cultivator in tattered Daoist robes asked the burly man with a face full of scars beside him.

"Nonsense! Of course I saw it!"

A greedy light flickered in the burly man's eyes, and he was almost drooling.

"An immortal manor! This is definitely an immortal manor left over from ancient times!"

"We're rich! We're rich!"

"Look at the Spiritual Qi on that mountain; it's almost turning into liquid! How many Heaven And Earth Treasures must be in there!"

These Cultivators were the surviving natives of this continental fragment.

With the collapse of the Qingyun Realm, these low-level Cultivators had nowhere to go and could only struggle to survive on this desolate land, fighting to the death for every bit of resources.

Today, a divine mountain had fallen from the sky; to them, this was simply the greatest Opportunity dropped from the heavens!

"Boss, there seem to be people on that mountain."

"So what if there are people?"

The burly man called Boss sneered, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Looking at them, there are only about a dozen. They're likely Puppets or Dao soldiers guarding the immortal manor!"

"Brothers, grab your gear!"

The burly man stood up abruptly and pulled a rusty greatsword from his back.

"The bold feast while the timid starve! This is wealth bestowed upon us by the heavens!"

"If we seize this immortal manor, we'll never have to live such a precarious life again!"

"Kill!"

With the command, a dozen wolf-like Cultivators, their eyes glowing red, rode their crooked Magical Artifacts and charged toward Chen Pingan and the others with strange cries.

Chen Pingan and Lu Miaomiao glanced at each other, both seeing the speechlessness in the other's eyes.

"This is it?"

A group of Loose Cultivators who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage dared to try and rob Kunlun Academy?

"Prepare for battle!"

Chen Pingan clenched his fists, his knuckles making a popping sound like firecrackers.

Just as he was about to strike and knock down all these reckless fools.

The Dean's voice lazily rang out in each of their minds.

"Capture them alive; don't kill them all."

"It just so happens I have some things I want to ask them."
