Suddenly.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck down from the sky, heading straight for Ji Jiuying, and the deafening thunder stunned everyone present.
Just then, a powerful pressure suddenly came. Gong Mingyue and Si Yu stood up, their faces as black as ink. They saw that the spot where Ji Jiuying had been standing was now empty.
"Jiu'er!"
"Girl!"
boom--
Everyone on the field stood up, their eyes wide. What was going on? Lan Xi was gone!
The dark clouds and lightning in the sky also disappeared at the same time, as if they had never appeared.
"hateful!"
Gong Mingyue's face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, and his eyes revealed a chilling killing intent. He exuded a terrifying aura, like a shockwave of ice, sweeping towards everyone.
Everyone felt an invisible pressure weighing heavily on them, making it difficult to breathe. It was a fear from the depths of their souls, as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast, with nowhere to escape.
Some people, with weaker mental fortitude, were unable to withstand the onslaught of fear. They felt a sharp pain in their chest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and collapsed helplessly to the ground. Others, however, were pale and trembling uncontrollably, struggling to control their fear, terrified that they too would vomit blood and collapse like the others.
Gong Mingyue glanced coldly at the sky and vanished instantly. Si Yu quickly followed him. As the two left, the terrifying pressure also disappeared. Everyone gasped for breath; it was too terrifying.
Hei Xiangling was no exception, and even Xiao Yichen disappeared as well. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the sect leaders, "You guys continue to host the competition!"
"Hey, where are you going? Take me with you..."
Bai Lisha was about to chase after her, but Bai Ling stopped her.
"Xiao Bai, don't be silly. That bolt of lightning was clearly a law of heaven. You can't catch up with it," Bai Ling explained.
Hua Li and Le Ran exchanged puzzled glances. The laws of Heaven? It seems that this person named Xiao Jiu is indeed no ordinary person. But then again, how could someone who could bewitch the person from the Nine Heavens Divine Palace be an ordinary person?
"Why would the laws of Heaven abduct Xiao Jiu? Will Xiao Jiu be alright?" Bai Lisha asked with a worried expression.
Bai Ling shook her head. "However, with the rest of them around, we should be fine."
The noise from the crowd subsided, and a group of people surrounded Lan Zhao.
"Lan Zhao, where is Lan Xi?"
"Lan Zhao, what is the relationship between your Lan family and the Nine Heavens Divine Palace?"
"Lan Zhao, what is the relationship between Lan Xi and that person from the Nine Heavens Divine Palace?"
"Lan Zhao..."
"······"
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Fu Yan stepped forward and shouted.
"Class advisors, please maintain order. Look at the state of things now!"
The crowd reluctantly dispersed. Lan Zhao looked grave, unsure whether he was worried about Ji Jiuying or the Lan family. After much consideration, he decided to return to the Lan family to find out the truth.
After saying goodbye to his mentor, he turned and left. Jiang Xin felt a pang of sadness and worry as she watched his departing figure.
Seeing this, Yao Guanglin, who was inside the arena, wanted to go forward, but then she remembered that she still had a competition to attend and that her master had high expectations for her. She couldn't leave now, so she stopped herself. Lan Xi had suddenly disappeared, and he must be very worried.
——
Ji Jiuying felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a void that stretched to the bottom, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Just as she was wondering, a man dressed in an ice-blue robe appeared in front of her. The man was completely covered by the robe, and only his ice-blue eyes were visible on his face.
Ji Jiuying stared at those familiar eyes, frozen in place.
"You...you're Chu Yu...how could you have become like this..."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Wen Chuyu's eyes, but he did not answer her question: "Xiao Jiu, something has happened on the Cangming Continent. You must go back... and help them."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Wen Chuyu's words, Ji Jiuying couldn't help but recall the scene in the illusion in the Demon Realm. A sense of panic welled up in her heart, and a hint of unease flashed in her eyes as she asked, filled with trepidation.
"Could it be that the monsters from beneath Star Academy have emerged?"
Wen Chuyu looked at Ji Jiuying with his icy blue eyes in surprise. Seeing his expression, Ji Jiuying staggered a few steps and almost lost his balance. Wen Chuyu quickly stepped forward to support him.
Just then, a spiritual technique carrying killing intent shot out from the void, aiming straight for Wen Chuyu's heart. Wen Chuyu was startled and quickly dodged to the side.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several figures appeared from the void, surrounding Wen Chuyu, while Ji Jiuying also fell into a familiar embrace.
Si Yu, Hei Xiangling, Xiao Yichen, and Gong Mingyue all glared at Wen Chuyu with hostility.
Gong Mingyue's killing technique coalesced once more, but was stopped by Ji Jiuying.
"Ah Yue, no..."
Gong Mingyue looked at the person who had broken free from his embrace with a puzzled expression.
"He is my friend, Wen Chuyu, the eldest son of the Wen family of the Cangming Continent."
Gong Mingyue frowned, his eyes still unfriendly and filled with a strong warning. Only then did Hei Xiangling lower her guard. "So you're Xiaoting's brother. But how did you become the Heavenly Dao?"
Hei Xiangling asked curiously.
"This is not the time to discuss this. It's about the Cangming Continent. Something has happened on the Cangming Continent. Si Yu, do you remember that illusion back in the Demon Realm? I suspect those illusions are real. I have to go back now."
Si Yu's expression turned serious: "You mean that monster has come out?"
"That's impossible! Didn't we reinforce the seal last time? How could it have escaped?"
The others were also unsure. Wen Chuyu looked at Ji Jiuying and said, "It's Qingling..."
Ji Jiuying's heart sank. Had Qingling become a demon?
Xiao Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out they were all this girl's friends. They seemed to be very close friends. However, the people this girl knew were so shocking. Si Yu from Tianji Palace, Ming You from Jiutian Divine Palace, and now she even knew the Heavenly Dao!
But what exactly are they talking about? A demon? Could it be the one that was sealed away eight hundred years ago?
"We should not delay, let's return to Cangming now," Ji Jiuying said solemnly.
"good."
Wen Chuyu raised her hand and waved it, and a blue vortex appeared in front of them: "Go from here, and hurry up."
Gong Mingyue narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wen Chuyu, but said nothing. Wen Chuyu naturally noticed his gaze, her eyes flickered slightly, and her lips, hidden by her robe, were tightly pursed.
