Chapter 139 Escape
Although Su Yu had never been to the place where those disciples were stationed, it didn't matter, because Xiao Qi could guide him.
Speaking of which, Xiaoqi has indeed become much more reliable since returning from her studies at the Time Management Bureau.
At this moment, Su Yu noticed that the person on her back moved.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yu turned her head and saw that Su Yao's face was ugly, and her eyes showed a hint of heartbreak.
She murmured, "How come it really is just like a pigeon..."
The summoned sandstorm is just like a carrier pigeon; once it's released, its destination is uncertain, but it's not impossible for it to fly off course. The probability of it reaching its destination is relatively high, but there's still a possibility that it might go astray.
So unstable, and it absorbed almost all of her mental energy—it's practically a half-finished product!
Su Yao was heartbroken. She had gone to such lengths for this thing, only to be chased and killed, and had even used up one Concealment Talisman and eight Swiftness Talismans!
Raising a sword is expensive, refining pills requires buying rare spiritual plants, purchasing talisman array plates and various magical artifacts also consumes money, and you have to pay compensation if you accidentally damage the training ground. Daily cultivation also requires a lot of spirit stones...
She was really, really poor!
As the sandstorm raged unchecked, deafening explosions resounded from all directions.
The roof of this underground building is teetering on the brink of collapse.
The crowd's expressions grew even more serious, tinged with anxiety.
After recovering, Instructor Wushi came to Su Yu and Su Yao and said to them, "Tell us where the other disciples are and give us directions. We'll head over there to rescue them."
"Our instructors weren't seriously injured, and they all have the cultivation level of the early stage of Void Refinement, so we can get there faster."
Su Yao was about to speak.
The side wall of the passageway then crumbled with a loud crash.
The sandstorm, now much larger, howled past them. Ahead of the sandstorm were several black-robed evil cultivators fleeing, crying and screaming. On the other side of the sandstorm's path were numerous disciples staring blankly at the dilapidated prison cells.
Under the combined effects of the sandstorm and the exploration team's explosive artifacts, the underground structure finally...
It's going to collapse and die.
"Children, run!"
"Waaaaah, mentor, you've come to save us! I knew it! Waaaaah—"
"You naughty kid, stop crying and run away now!!"
Finally seeing their teachers, who were like family, many students had tears in their eyes. They looked at their loved ones with deep emotion and excitement. Of course, this emotion was the true teacher-student relationship and family affection.
Only after escaping life-or-death danger did they realize how precious life is, and how glorious and great the teachers who came to their rescue seemed!
They vowed that if they had the chance to go back, they would respect their teachers and never skip classes, complete their assignments on time, and practice swordsmanship 30,000 times a day without ever being lazy again!
The mentors and elders, seeing the ceiling about to collapse and the foolish kids not running away, almost couldn't catch their breath.
"If you don't hurry back and copy the rules of the sect ten thousand times!"
A scream suddenly rang out: "No—!"
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Su Yao's friends were not thinking about reuniting with their teachers.
They stared at Su Yu and Su Yao in disbelief.
No, it hasn't been that long, and they're already in a relationship where they can carry each other's backs?
"What's wrong with you guys?" Su Yao asked, puzzled.
Yue Minghe glanced around and realized that his classmates hadn't noticed them yet. So he quickly covered the lower half of his face with his folding fan, which he often played with, and awkwardly transmitted his voice to Su Yao:
Su Yao was expressionless and sarcastic:
Seeing Yue Minghe's defenses breached, Su Yao seriously transmitted her voice.
Su Yao nudged Su Yu's back, signaling him to put her down.
Perhaps because her brother had carried her on his back before, she would do this whenever she wanted to get down. Over the years, she had never been carried by anyone else, so Su Yao performed this action with exceptional skill.
But Su Yu put her down with remarkable ease.
Su Yao paused for a moment, remembering that she had said she trusted him, and reluctantly stopped thinking about it.
She was still a little unsteady on her feet, so she smiled and said to You Fujun, who had already walked over, "Little Jun, I'm exhausted from using my spiritual power. Please help me."
You Fujun glanced at Su Yu and said, "I can carry you on my back too."
"No need, I'll recover soon. Look, I can walk by myself now."
Just before the underground structure collapsed, the elders managed to shoo their disciples out like chicks.
Yellow sand stretches endlessly, and the flat land sinks.
The group was fortunate enough to escape successfully, but many of the evil cultivators also managed to escape.
The teachers exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.
Several injured mentors and elders stayed with their disciples, leading them back to Pingsha Town as quickly as possible, while the remaining healthy ones went to hunt down the escaped evil cultivators.
This is no small matter. Although it is still uncertain whether this is a spontaneous act by evil cultivators or if they have already colluded with the demon realm, it is clear that they intend to help the demon realm attack the spirit realm.
Therefore, those evil cultivators who have escaped should be killed or captured if possible, especially those who tried to possess them. After capturing and interrogating them, we may be able to obtain more information.
The Middle Spirit Realm knows very little about the Demon Realm; perhaps the Upper Spirit Realm has more relevant information.
However, faced with many disciples who had not yet matured, the remaining mentors concluded that the matter was caused by an evil cultivator, and specifically instructed Su Yao, who also knew about the evil cultivator's boasting, not to say anything more about it to outsiders.
As for Su Yu, after leaving the underground building, he told Su Yao that he was going to meet up with his fellow explorers and then left.
He certainly didn't really intend to join them; he didn't need to worry too much about the exploration team's strength.
He went to destroy the evidence in this underground building, especially in case there was any evidence that indicated the mastermind was the Demon Lord, but didn't clarify that this Demon Lord was named Wei Lan.
Of course, he didn't use Feng Jiu's identity; instead, he changed into the Ghost Lord's attire.
With Su Yu's cultivation level at the Integration Stage, he could clearly hear what the mentors who went to chase the evil cultivators in the distance were whispering about.
They are deeply suspicious and worried about the worst-case scenario: that these evil cultivators have colluded with the Demon Realm, and that the current Demon Lord of the Demon Realm is just as ambitious as the one who launched the legendary war.
While their guesses were not wrong in a certain sense, the current Demon Lord would soon die in a few years and be replaced by his twelfth son.
When the spirit realm investigates, they'll find out that the Demon Lord is actually Feng Huaijin, and that's the one who wants to attack the spirit realm!
In the original story, Feng Shi was eager to make trouble and readily accepted the blame, but Su Yu felt that it would be better for Twelve not to take the blame.
