"What?!"

The bald old man was shocked. At such a close distance, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed.

Fortunately, Jiang Du's assassination just now made him very alert. At the critical moment, he quickly condensed a protective spiritual shield.

There was only a loud 'bang'.

The protective spiritual energy shield suddenly trembled violently, like a stone falling into the water, causing layers of ripples.

The bald old man couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but then he looked carefully and found that what was attacking him was actually a ball of black flame.

In order not to reveal its identity, the Mantis King deliberately activated the Black Flame Demon Body and spread the black flames on its body to conceal its true appearance.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

The bald old man was shocked and a long sword flashed in his hand.

“Bang!”

However, just as he was about to counterattack, the protective shield on his body suddenly exploded.

The blade limb that was filled with black flames suddenly and strangely grew several times larger, directly splitting him in half!

The bloody scene stimulated the visual nerves of everyone present.

In just a dozen breaths, two palace masters who were at the half-step holy realm were assassinated one after another, which completely frightened this group of warriors who were only at the eighth and ninth levels.

They stood there trembling, not daring to move, staring at the strange black flame with pale faces.

Because the bald old man escaped first and was targeted.

At a time like this, no one dares to be the first to step forward!

However, Jing Ke and the Mantis King had already completed Lin Hao's task, so they didn't care about these minions anymore.

In a flash, the two killer pets disappeared in the lobby of the inn.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no danger, many members of Wuling Academy present broke into cold sweats with lingering fear.

"Master, the Palace Master..."

Immediately, their eyes all turned to the body of Jiang Du who had died of poisoning nearby.

As if because they were too frightened, everyone had a stunned look on their faces, without any trace of sadness at all.

Some of the ninth-level warriors even had their eyes flickering, with a hint of secret joy in their eyes.

After all, with the death of the Palace Master, Wuling Academy is leaderless and must elect a new Palace Master.

In this way, these level nine powerhouses undoubtedly have a great chance.

…

At this moment, a group of people from Tianyan Academy have already appeared in the animal shed in the backyard of the inn.

Their flying beasts are placed here.

After what happened just now, except for Lin Hao and his four brothers, the other youngsters still had extremely tense expressions and wanted to leave Wuling City, this place of trouble, as soon as possible.

Little did they know that Jiang Du and the bald old man, who posed the greatest threat to them, had just been assassinated by Lin Hao's pet.

"Boss, when we get back to the academy, we must get drunk!"

Qin Yu put his arm around Lin Hao's shoulders and encouraged him impatiently.

“I agree with this.”

When he heard about drinking, Raymond pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.

"It's not enough to have wine, it would be even more fun to call a few girls."

The four brothers gathered together again. Gu Yunle was in a very good mood and proposed with a wry smile.

"Old Four, it's been a while since you last touched a woman, and you're horny again so soon."

Qin Yu immediately laughed and scolded, referring to what happened in the ancient battlefield.

"If you hadn't threatened to run away in the middle of the night, maybe I could have enjoyed another night."

Gu Yunle curled his lips, quite unhappy.

Seeing the two of them insulting each other again, Lin Hao smiled secretly and shook his head.

Although these two guys seem to be lazy at ordinary times, they are quite reliable when it comes to serious matters.

Beside them, Zhao Linger frowned slightly when she heard Gu Yunle and the others still wanted to call women.

But soon, Zhao Linger's brows slowly relaxed.

She and Lin Hao are no longer husband and wife. The two of them have no name or status and are like the most familiar strangers.

Even if Lin Hao invited this woman from the secular world to drink and have fun, what right did she have to interfere?

Zhao Linger sighed softly in her heart.

"Those people from Wuling Academy are eyeing us covetously now. We should not stay here for long. If there is anything, let's go back first."

Ying Yuanzi seemed to be fed up with Qin Yu and the others' teasing, and said with a stern face.

As soon as the Palace Lord spoke, Gu Yunle and Qin Yu had no choice but to shut up and sit on the back of the Swift Eagle.

Lin Hao brought Xiaobai with him and used the power of wind to float directly into the air.

The bird he had driven here from the Territory of Chaos was an iron-beaked eagle.

If you continue to use it, you will only increase the risk of exposing your identity.

After experiencing many dangerous situations over the years, Lin Hao's vigilance and privacy protection are no longer as naive as they were at the beginning.

whoosh!

However, just as Lin Hao was about to follow the team into the sky, his storage ring suddenly flashed with light.

Then, a sound transmission note suddenly flew out and burned slowly in front of him.

"My Lord, I have an urgent matter to report. Please come back to the territory."

As the sound transmission talisman burned, an urgent voice also rang in Lin Hao's mind.

This voice came from Bai Lin, the chief steward of the Territory of Chaos.

Urgent report?

Lin Hao paused, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Judging from the tone of voice, something big seemed to have happened in the Territory of Chaos.

Based on Lin Hao's understanding of Bai Lin, if it is not an emergency, he will usually handle it on his own and rarely need to show up in person.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yu noticed that Lin Hao behind him suddenly stopped in mid-air, so he immediately patted the eagle's back and turned back.

At the same time, Gu Yunle and Raymond also flew over on their eagles.

"Boss, this mount of mine is for you."

Qin Yu was confused and mistakenly thought that Lin Hao had suffered some internal injuries in the ancient battlefield.

Thinking of this, with a hint of worry in his eyes, he directly attracted the spirit of wind and floated up from the eagle's back.

"I'm fine."

Lin Hao shook his head and smiled faintly: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with. You guys go back to Tianyan Academy first."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu and the others were slightly stunned.

"What's up?"

The three of them asked almost in unison.

At this time, Ying Yuanzi and the others also flew over on their eagles and looked at Lin Hao with confusion.

Lin Hao's sudden change of mind was somewhat unexpected.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I'll go back to Tianyan Academy in a while and I'll report back then."

Lin Hao didn't want to continue talking to them, so after he finished speaking, he flew quickly towards the south.

"Second brother, why don't we go with the eldest brother to take a look?"

Gu Yunle frowned slightly and couldn't help but suggest.

"No need. Even if we go, the boss will definitely not let us follow."

Qin Yu looked at Lei Meng and Gu Yunle beside him and smiled bitterly: "Don't you know what kind of person the boss is?"

After hearing this, Gu Yunle and the others felt relieved.

Ever since they met, Lin Hao has always behaved in a solitary and mysterious manner.

If I insist on following him, I'm afraid Lin Hao will find a reason to drive me away.

"This Lin Hao is really worrying."

Looking at the young figure gradually flying away in the sky, Ying Yuanzi shook his head and sighed.

Immediately, everyone stopped thinking and continued to fly towards the direction of Tianyan Academy...
