He regained his composure, his consciousness returning from the high altitude, and Zhu Yinhong's voice became clear.
"...Someone is trying to force their way through that 'door'!"
When Chen Qian came to his senses, he saw that the fortified area was already in complete chaos.
Besides the soldiers still on guard on the ramparts, hundreds of figures were already fighting in the low sky above the old campus.
The Yuan energy surged, and the dark night sky was constantly illuminated by the dazzling colors emanating from high-level martial arts techniques.
Some of them were strong members of the Martial Arts Department who remained behind, but the number of intruders was obviously much greater. However, they did not seem to have any intention of killing. After repelling the strong members of the Martial Arts Department who remained behind, they rushed towards the depths of the old campus.
Shen Qian turned his head and looked around. In the darkness, it seemed that even more figures were surging towards them.
"How could so many mountains and seas suddenly appear?"
Shen Qian frowned deeply.
"I don't know. It seems they've been lying in wait for a long time. What should we do before they sink?" Zhu Yinhong asked anxiously.
"Have the soldiers stay put and intercept ordinary martial artists. Don't get involved; you won't be able to stop them."
Shen Qian shook his head as he recalled Wu Jingcai's attitude. He vaguely felt that the Martial Arts Department had anticipated the current situation. Otherwise, how could there only be so few strong people guarding an A-level "gate"?
After giving Zhu Yinhong his instructions, Chen Qian moved swiftly and rose directly into the air.
"Shenqian, where are you going!"
Zhu Yinhong took two quick steps, but she couldn't keep up with Shen Qian's speed at all.
"Go find the answer."
Shen Qian waved his hand, and before Zhu Yinhong could ask anything else, his figure had completely disappeared into the night sky.
...
Whoosh!
When Shen Qian arrived at the tent in the temporary camp, he immediately saw Dao Jiu guarding the entrance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Dao Jiu is staying by my side at all times, nothing unexpected should happen.
Dao Jiu also saw Shen Qian flying towards him. He said something into the tent, then lifted the tent flap, revealing a somewhat pale-faced girl inside.
"Sink forward!"
Upon seeing Shen Qian appear, Jiang Xuan's expression relaxed, followed by surprise.
Are you alright?
As he landed, he was immediately embraced by an excited Jiang Xuan.
"I'm fine." Jiang Xuan shook her head, then remembered something and said anxiously, "That 'door'..."
“I think I know everything. Do you remember why you were near that ‘door’ in the middle of the night?”
He asked before sinking in.
It was somewhat unbelievable that Jiang Xuan, with her cultivation level, could cross the restricted area and arrive at the old campus of Jiangzhong Military Academy without any trouble.
"I don't know, it's just that the voice in my head seemed to have taken over my mind, and when I came to my senses I was already here..."
Jiang Xuan said helplessly.
"Dao Jiu, go help Company Commander Zhu. While I'm away, you follow Shang Zuo's orders."
After pondering for a moment, he gave Dao Jiu an instruction, then grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand and turned to rush towards the direction of the "door".
Along the way, one could see martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm fighting everywhere. Shen Qian glanced around and saw mostly unfamiliar faces. He didn't bother to intervene and simply sped up.
After a few dozen breaths, Shen Qian had brought Jiang Xuan to the vicinity of the "gate".
As his vision gradually cleared, Shen Qian's expression changed again.
Above the shattered circular pit, the ancient and massive gate had undergone an astonishing transformation.
The vortex that had previously been located in the center of the gate, resembling a nebula, has now expanded several times over. At the same time, mysterious runes have appeared on the jade pillars, radiating a bright light.
As Shen Qian stared at it, the talismans continued to spread outwards.
For some reason, just staring at this "door" made Shen Qian feel a strange sense of dread.
It's as if it has suddenly gained some kind of vitality and is gradually awakening.
call out!
Suddenly, a staggering figure streaked across the sky, dripping with golden blood, but he seemed oblivious, staring intently at the glowing portal as it drew closer.
"Uncle Hu?"
Shen Qian recognized the man as Hu Feiwei at a glance and couldn't help but call out to him.
The other party completely ignored Shen Qian's shout. Just as Shen Qian was about to approach, his figure seemed to be suddenly attracted by something huge, and his speed instantly increased several times. He plunged directly into the vortex in a twisted posture.
"Sinking forward..."
While Shen Qian was still in a daze, his wrist suddenly loosened. Jiang Xuan, who was standing next to him, didn't know where she got the strength, but she broke free from Shen Qian's wrist and ran towards the door like a nightmare.
Shen Qian moved swiftly and appeared in front of Jiang Xuan in an instant. Just as he was about to stop her, he froze first.
Holy crap!
Shen Qian cursed inwardly, "What's the system trying to do by suddenly going online at this time?"
We'll know the answer before we sink.
Instead of stopping Jiang Xuan, he grabbed her around the waist and leaped forward, rushing directly towards the South Heavenly Gate.
"Is there something with an attraction system inside the 'door'?"
The system, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly started to move. Shen Qian could only give up struggling and let himself be sent into the portal that represented the unknown.
However, in the last moment before being swallowed by the nebula, Shen Qian quickly communicated with his clone through his mind.
A phantom flashed in mid-air, and an almost invisible figure followed closely behind, entering the vortex together.
"Squeak!"
Not far away, a large, snow-white monkey came running wildly. With a mighty leap, it barely managed to grab a corner of Shenqian's clone and also entered the vortex.
