Lin Jingge sighed.
"Dean, this matter concerns the fate of the entire South Academy, so we cannot be careless. Let's open the stone door and take a look."
Lin Jingge offered a word of advice.
Qingjian pondered for a while before nodding.
At this moment, he had clearly overcome his mental hurdle, and even glanced back at Lin Jingge as he stepped forward to break the formation.
Are you sure there's really no one inside the cave?
Lin Jingge nodded very solemnly.
Although Qingjian's gaze was filled with doubt, he still turned his head and began to decipher the formation.
The formation was set up by Qingjian to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the area and disturbing Dean Zhao's seclusion.
The formation he set up was naturally very easy for him to break.
In no time, the formation was broken.
The pale blue light shield gradually disappeared.
A very crude cave dwelling appeared before the two of them.
Qingjian glanced back at Lin Jingge again, then immediately stepped forward and walked to the stone doorway.
He took a deep breath before placing his hand on the mechanism on one side of the stone door.
He pressed down hard, and a rumbling sound was heard.
As sand and gravel fell, the stone door gradually opened.
Lin Jingge immediately focused her attention and peered inside the cave.
The cave was not large, barely big enough for two people to squeeze in. Compared to the caves Lin Jingge had discovered before, it was several times smaller.
As Xiao Shi said, it was completely empty; there was no one there at all.
Qingjian was stunned when he saw the empty cave.
He clearly watched Dean Zhao enter the cave, and he also watched the stone door close before setting up the formation.
But the formation is completely intact, and the stone gate has never moved. How could the people inside have disappeared into thin air?
Aokiji looked incredulous.
Lin Jingge didn't know anything about Dean Zhao, nor did she have any feelings for him, so naturally she couldn't empathize with Qingjian.
Approaching the cave, Qingjian, who was standing blankly at the entrance, glanced at him and immediately picked up the detector to search for the protective barrier of the Divine Demon Transfer Array, which was the entrance to the folded space.
The detector in my hand was quite useful; not long after entering the cave, there was movement.
Lin Jingge followed the direction in which the black stone slid down.
Raise your hand and press it against the wall.
He covered his hands with spiritual energy and pressed down hard.
Before even touching the wall, I felt the resistance.
The light green spiritual energy in his hand clashed with the transparent water ripples on the opposite side.
Seeing this scene, Qingjian was somewhat surprised, which relieved his emotions a little.
"Dean, I can't break this restriction. You should do it," Lin Jingge said, stepping back as she spoke.
Qingjian had seen countless restrictions, but this was the first time he had ever seen one like this.
He could already sense it when Lin Jingge found the restriction.
A sharp attack flew out from Qingjian's hand.
The spiritual energy clashed with the restriction, producing a loud sound.
The entire cave seemed to tremble.
The restriction hadn't even lasted five moves against Qingjian before it was completely destroyed.
Qingjian seemed quite interested in this restriction.
"This restriction seems to be specifically designed for defense; it doesn't seem to have any offensive capabilities," Qingjian said, looking at the broken restriction.
However, Lin Jingge noticed something amiss. Normally, after this restriction was broken, the entrance to the folded space would immediately appear. But now, she only saw the broken restriction; the entrance to the folded space had not appeared.
Lin Jingge frowned. Hearing Qingjian say this, she was reminded of the time that Ye Su fought against the restrictions in the ice cave.
"Watch out!" Lin Jingge exclaimed in surprise, as if she had just thought of something.
However, it was too late by then.
Qingjian was caught off guard, and given that the opponent's attack and speed were comparable to his own, he couldn't dodge the blow that struck his chest.
After the barrier broke, Qingjian was hit squarely by a figure that suddenly appeared at the barrier's location.
Qingjian was sent flying, crashing into the wall at the cave entrance and causing it to collapse.
Qingjian coughed up blood and quickly rolled to the side.
The spot where he had just lain had already shown a mark left by spiritual energy. The mark was very deep; if it had struck a person, they would likely have been cut in two, if not killed.
Taking this opportunity, Qingjian also got up from the ground.
"Dean Zhao!" He looked at the person who attacked him in surprise and shouted out.
However, the man seemed not to hear him. Seeing that Qingjian had not been killed, he immediately attacked again.
Lin Jingge, with Xiao Shi in her arms, hid in a corner and observed the battle.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Lin Jingge was hit squarely by a stone that flew towards her.
Fortunately, it was only a slight pain. Just as Lin Jingge was about to leave the cave to hide, she discovered that a hole large enough for one person to pass through had appeared at the broken barrier.
Lin Jingge looked behind her, then at the entrance, gritted her teeth, and rushed inside.
The two behind him were still fighting. Even though Qingjian was injured, he was still evenly matched with Dean Zhao.
Lin Jingge rushed into the folded space and saw that the blood demon in the blood pool had begun to emerge.
Lin Jingge didn't dare to delay and quickly put her upgraded water pump over.
In less than half a minute, the pool of blood was drained, leaving behind a blood demon with only its upper body formed.
Without the support of the blood pool, the half-body blood demon instantly turned into a pool of blood.
Lin Jingge is now quite adept at destroying the Divine Demon Transfer Array.
In less than ten minutes, she had absorbed all the elements of the formation that she could, and destroyed the rest that she couldn't.
The blood pool was smashed, leaving Chu Wangliu with nothing intact.
As the altar was removed, the folded space began to shake, and Lin Jingge immediately rushed out with Xiao Shi.
Not long after they went out, the entrance behind them collapsed and then disappeared from the spot.
After patting her chest to calm down, she realized that the fighting outside had ended, and the entire cave was riddled with bullet holes.
Aoki carried someone in his arms against the light.
"What's wrong with Dean Zhao?" Lin Jingge rushed forward to ask.
Aokiji looked grief-stricken.
He kept silent.
Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Jingge immediately understood.
Dean Zhao is gone.
"How is the Divine Demon Transfer Array?" He asked Lin Jingge, tightly holding Dean Zhao's body.
"Dean, I've destroyed the formation," Lin Jingge replied. "The entrance disappeared on its own after I came out."
Qingjian glanced behind Lin Jingge and saw the wall of the cave from before.
Qingjian nodded slightly, then carried Dean Zhao away.
Lin Jingge didn't ask any further questions about Dean Zhao's situation and quickly took Xiao Shi and slipped away.
——
Qingjian carried Dean Zhao back to his room and then sent a message to Zhao Ya, asking her to come over in person.
