On the other side of Yuntian, in a castle, a charming woman took off her battle skirt, removed her veil, and tore off her black clothes with the fragrance of peach blossoms, revealing her smooth skin and soft body, but her face was cold and there were sparks in her sharp eyes. She was sulking, but no one knew why she was angry. Although the task assigned to her by the ancestors was not smooth, it was basically completed, so why was she angry?

Only the woman herself knew that her anger was due to the entanglement of the peach blossom woman in the academy. During the battle, she really wanted to show her true form and swallow her in one gulp. No matter how coquettish that woman was, under her full strength and true form, she could only become a peach that was bitten off in a few bites.

The maid walked over quickly in her loose robe, but the woman raised her hand and her tone was cold and irresistible.

"Go down."

The maid turned and left, leaving her alone naked in the room. The floor was piled with war skirts and fragments of black clothes, but the wide robe that the maid had put on the floor was suddenly put on her body, making the woman look different from the previous hazy dream, more attractive. But her face was full of piety, not frivolous. After the door was closed, the woman knelt on one knee, facing the ground, as if she had done something wrong and confessed.

"Is this the mission you completed?"

"Ancestor, I..."

"Slap!"

The harsh rebuke made the woman shudder, fearing that she would be abandoned. If she wanted to fulfill her ambitions and restore the wild beasts to their dominant position, she had to obtain the power of her ancestors! Therefore, she did not hold back and slapped herself hard in the face.

The crisp sound echoed in the room. If outsiders knew, they would be shocked. For someone of her stature, slapping herself was a terrifying thing, like an emperor kneeling before others or an elder bending for a child. But she did slap herself, and a clear, red and swollen handprint appeared on her side face.

"Ancestor, I left a mark in Xia Xiao's body. When the time comes, he will..."

"Do you really think that the people in the academy are vegetarians? Can your little mark really kill him?"

The woman was stunned on the spot, and nodded as if she suddenly realized something, as if she agreed with the ancestor's words. It was not that she had no confidence in herself, but she agreed with the ancestor. The latter was very angry now, and no matter what she said, it would become an excuse, so she stopped talking and listened to the ancestor!

"You underestimated the enemy. Although the academy was established only 300 years ago, true gods have been here. During those years, I hid outside the South China Sea and dared not breathe. You have a chance, but you are wasting it. Do you really think you can remove the hypocritical skin of humans? For thousands of years, their skin has been tightly attached to their bodies. No matter how you peel it off, it will be useless!"

"Listen carefully to the teachings of our ancestors!"

The woman, as always, put herself in a very low position. The ancestor said a few words and then stopped teaching her. Although the woman did something wrong, she should have some self-respect. If she could not help him, the ancestor would not have paid much attention to her, but she was still useful now. The woman was simple-minded and easy to deceive. In addition, she had empty ambitions, which made it even easier to use her!

"Dahuang has transformed into a human form and is walking between heaven and earth. You should join the team to find it. You must find it first before Qingxunzi, that brat, and gain its recognition."

"Youngsters, obey your orders!"

The woman was busy with her career. She had nothing to lose, but was getting closer and closer to her goal. This road was full of ups and downs, but it was much smoother than Xia Xiao's. He lost Shu Shuang, and he didn't know how desperate he would be when he woke up.

The moment they returned to the academy, the ten elders stopped and the students who had been busy all night were able to go back to the Qingwa Building to rest. But they were destined not to have a good sleep, because the experience of last night overturned their understanding of the world.

Gods really exist, they exist on the top of the mountain, above the clouds, and outside the wilderness. Although there are no gods in the wilderness now, there are records about gods. Therefore, we cannot deny the existence of such a great being that is comparable to the world just because we have not seen it. But people do not think that ghosts really exist. They are just toys used by adults to trick children into falling asleep. People have always been the ones who scare people, how can ghosts scare people? But last night, the students really saw it.

Last night the academy was on guard in the mountains, and the students all had their posts. With the help of a special talisman array, they saw many humanoid monsters. They were all deformed people, but it was not as simple as having extra fingers or missing an eye.

The limbs and facial features of the people were all disrupted, and then pieced together in pieces on the bodies of different sizes. The monsters, dragging their hands and feet that did not fit their bodies, came from outside the mountains, covered in blood, and made faint calls in the dark, as if calling on ghosts and gods, praying for death.

That chilling feeling would dominate everyone's dreams for a while. When the sun rose and they saw other students, regardless of whether they were from the same country or had grudges against each other, they were all glad that they were not alone and did not have to face those evil spirits that wanted to break into the academy or go underground.

“How many did you stop last night?”

When Xia Xiao was not around, Wang Ling started to compete with Tianming. He loved to compete, and so did Tianming. The latter was still arrogant and said:

"Eleven!"

Wang Ling straightened his chest, regained some confidence, and said:

"Same!"

They couldn't kill those dirty things hiding in the dark, they were not strong enough. So they only had to stop them, and the rest was left to the ten seniors running back and forth. In one night, some of the mountains in the academy were flattened, some were burned, and some were frozen. The students tried their best to stop these guys, and they were quite brave, but they are still frightened.

In that situation, warriors whose contracted beasts are conscious are better off, after all, if someone talks to them, they will be braver. Some warriors whose contracted beasts are not conscious can only hide behind their contracted beasts, but in the darkness, it seems that there are people hiding around them, and when they turn around, they will see a miserable ghost face. Of course, the talisman master is the worst, no one speaks, they can only listen to the wind and answer the wind.

"What's wrong?"

There is no road in the mountains, and it is impossible to reach Tongtian Mountain. However, due to special circumstances, a transparent road appeared under the feet of the students, hidden in the air, allowing them to walk in the air, giving people a sense of novelty and coolness. However, in the square, many students gathered together with their heads down, as if to express mourning, and the atmosphere was wrong.

When Wang Ling was puzzled, Tianming was sharp-eyed and said in surprise:

"It's Xia Xiao!"

Tianming sprouted wings from behind, leaving the transparent road beneath his feet, shining with metallic luster under the bright sun, and flew into the crowd. Wang Ling followed closely, opening and closing the fire dragon's wings, squeezing out a place in the crowd that could accommodate himself.

There were no interesting things in the crowd, but two charred corpses and a young man covered in wounds. The young man was Xia Xiao, and they were familiar with him. The tall woman next to him was Shu Shuang's contracted beast, Lan Ze Ling Bird, but why did Shu Shuang disappear? And those two corpses, could it be...

Wang Ling knew what Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were doing. He had been keeping an eye on their situation, but weren’t the ones traveling with them the Mother Star Dragon and Instructor Ganar?

Fang Hai had a wound on his forehead, and his expression was serious and tired. He carried Xia Xiao on his back, walked out of the crowd, and walked up the mountainside. He said nothing, but when he saw the leafless peach forest, he thought of Gong Qingge and his mother star dragon. They had eaten peaches to their heart's content in a midsummer, but the scene of that year would never appear again in the peach forest.

Fang Hai felt sad, helpless, and felt sorry for Xia Xiao. He was one of the first teachers in the college to know Xia Xiao. He knew Xia Xiao well and knew how important Shu Shuang was to Xia Xiao. But she passed away suddenly. How much psychological trauma must she have suffered?

As he sighed, Hu Bugui in the square waved his hand, and the two bodies disappeared from everyone's sight. His voice was hoarse and low, and every word touched his heart.

"Your future teachers are the same, willing to sacrifice their lives to protect you, not for anything else, just because we are all in the same academy. I hope you remember that you have been in the academy, which will be a lifelong honor. Please carry this honor and go further. But even if you reach the end of the world, don't forget the name of your teacher!"

Hu Bugui, hunched over, leaning on a wooden stick, slowly walked up the mountainside, his back full of sadness. This was the first large-scale attack by the dark forces, killing two mountainside teachers of the academy and the followers of the pope. The other side won a great victory, and they did not gain anything, but just sounded the first alarm, warning the light forces of this world that the danger is not in the preparations, but around them!

"Di Muli, Hu Bugui, send a notice to all the four forces, telling them that war is about to start, and keep the alarm bell ringing!"

Hu Bugui, who had just walked up the mountainside, received the task and went to work. As for Xia Xiao, he had already trudged to ** under Xiao Ran's care. This was originally Fang Hai's job, but Xiao Ran felt that Sister Shu Shuang was thinking about her own safety before she died, so even if she didn't say it, she should take good care of Xia Xiao.

After changing into Shu Shuang's clothes, Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling sad when she saw Xia Xiao frowning all the time.

"sorry."

Xiao Ran silently apologized to Shu Shuang, and then hugged Xia Xiao's upper body in her arms. Her three-meter height was a bit exaggerated, but Xia Xiao smelled Shu Shuang's scent, and his brows really relaxed. Seeing this, Xiao Ran brushed the black hair in front of her eyes behind her ears and accompanied him silently.

Xiao Ran was worried when she thought about her own fate, but she had a basic idea, that is, not to leave Xia Xiao. She didn't know how long Xia Xiao would sleep, and she was afraid that she would affect Xia Xiao's rest, who was exhausted physically and mentally, so she sat motionless on the side of the bed, imitating Shu Shuang's appearance, imitating Shu Shuang's emotions when she saw Xia Xiao, and watching him sleep.

Xia Xiao felt a warmth, different from before, and the area seemed larger. But there was a familiar smell, it was Shu Shuang! He would never forget the smell of Shu Shuang. He smelled the faint fragrance since the first time he carried Shu Shuang on his back at the Xuelong Road. As soon as he smelled it, he remembered Shu Shuang wearing a light blue dress, with her hands clasped in front of her, and her eyes and face smiling.

What happened before seemed like a nightmare and Xia Xiao put it behind his mind. He fell asleep peacefully, but his sleep did not last long.

After a long time, Xia Xiao woke up and found that his nightmare had come true. At this moment, he was extremely anxious and panicked.
