“Junior Sister, I already said that this brat was a bit strange.”

Wu Cong narrowed his eyes slightly and gazed at the whirlwind howling in the distance. He put his hands behind his back and said unhurriedly, “Just you wait and see how Senior Brother takes care of him!”

The young man stood facing the wind, his pale blue sleeves fluttering in the wind. He had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing.

But the “girl” next to him didn’t appreciate his kindness at all.

Xie Ziyou’s face was as cold as ice. He tilted his head slightly, his tone neither salty nor indifferent. “Oh, Senior Brother, can you do it?”

Nonsense!

How could a man say no at a time like this?

“Don’t worry, Junior Sister. Even if Senior Brother has to risk his life, he will definitely protect you!”

Wu Cong’s eyes lit up.

This kind of opportunity to display his heroic bearing in front of his junior sister was truly too rare!

Fairy Xie had a cold personality and rarely went out. Almost everyone in the Central Academy treated her like a goddess, and she was often surrounded by servants when she went out. How could she encounter any danger?

Today’s coincidence was truly a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

Although Junior Sister’s cultivation was strong, she lacked combat experience. Seeing the formation on the other side, not only did she not show it on the surface, but she was also afraid in her heart.

At the end of the day, this was the perfect opportunity for him to display his might!

“Junior Sister, don’t be afraid. Hide behind me.”

The young man’s excitement was evident in his words, and he began to chatter nonstop. “The move Senior Brother is going to use next was created by Senior Brother when he was sixteen years old. It’s called ‘Flowing Sand River’. It can gather wind and sand into a waterfall, drowning the enemy …”

Xie Ziyou could not bear it any longer. He raised his hand and waved. A streak of light blue profound energy tore through the air like a whip, wrapping around Wu Cong’s waist and sweeping him to the side.

Was this person an idiot?

The other side was already controlling the waterfall. Was he going to sweep up the yellow sand?

Was he going to attack Guan Heng, or was he going to help Guan Heng attack him?

A single Guan Heng who had gone bloodthirsty from killing was already a huge headache. At such a crucial moment, this idiot still came to add to his troubles.

Xie Ziyou took a deep breath, held his breath, and focused.

Three thousand black hair quietly fluttered in the wind, and the “young girl” stretched out her slender and slender hand. Her fingertips gently moved in the air.

Sparkling and translucent blue profound energy flowed out from her fingertips. With a shake of the wind, it transformed into countless tiny, crystal-like specks of light.

The tiny specks of light emitted a hazy halo like moonlight. Following the direction of the whirlwind, they gracefully fluttered about. When they neared Guan Heng, they all emitted a crisp sound of ice shattering, like a white cocoon breaking.

Thin antennae emerged from the crystal specks of light. They shook a few times in the face of the whirlwind, then unfurled in the air, and unfurled their ethereal, graceful, and almost transparent ice blue butterfly wings under the sunlight.

As more and more butterflies broke out of their cocoons, Xie Ziyou’s face, which was as cold as snow, began to blush. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his head to block his azure eyes.

Using this move placed a huge burden on him.

But Xie Ziyou didn’t have much room for choice.

Guan Heng was already riddled with wounds, and his mental state had also collapsed. He had to knock the protagonist unconscious, and at the same time, he had to ensure that his methods were gentle, so that he wouldn’t aggravate the young man’s injuries.

This move was like a dream, and the “Ice Butterfly Dance” that could lure people into a dream was the best choice.

Although the burden was high, the effect was obvious. As more and more butterflies danced in the air, Guan Heng’s figure in the distance began to wobble even more. He almost couldn’t hold the long blade in his hand anymore, and his profound energy dissipated, disappearing into the wind.

The instant the black light disappeared, the mighty tornado in the air also gradually weakened. The thick clouds drifted away, revealing the azure sky behind them. Faint golden sunlight shone down, like a golden curtain of rain.

“Plop!”

The young man fell down in a daze, and his heavy eyelids gradually closed.

A teardrop that contained traces of blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his eye, landing on the ground, and was absorbed by the ground that had drunk its blood.

Xie Ziyou took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Things had finally come to an end.

Next, he only needed to find an excuse to “deal with Guan Heng,” find a secluded and safe valley, and drop him off. Then, he could leave.

… Let’s end this quickly.

Xie Ziyou really didn’t want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer.

“I’ll go throw him out of the examination area.”

Xie Ziyou stomped on the ground and flew into the air.

“Wait, Junior Sister!” Wu Cong paused for a moment, then hurriedly followed behind and shouted, “Just leave this dirty and tiring work to Senior Brother. I’m an earth elemental thief, and I dig quickly. Junior Sister —”

In the air, the young girl’s white clothes fluttered in the wind. Her gaze was cold and indifferent, and she turned a deaf ear to him.

But before Xie Ziyou could land in front of the unconscious Guan Heng, the corner of his clothes suddenly trembled violently. The gauze fluttered, as if he was very anxious.

What was this?

Xie Ziyou’s brows furrowed.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached into his clothes and fumbled for a moment. He took out a sparkling and translucent crystal from his bosom.

The crystal was completely white, and its edges were polished into a smooth arc. Light shone brightly inside, and faint black lines flowed like fish swimming around, gradually forming a line of small characters.

[Take him back to the Academy]

Xie Ziyou’s willowy eyebrows tightened bit by bit, and his eyes flickered.

This crystal was a communication device that his master, the dean of the Central Academy, had given to his disciples. It was much more advanced than the one he had given Youqin, and it could temporarily transmit simple text messages.

However, this kind of advanced recall order also consumed several times more energy. With Xie Ziyou’s cultivation at level seven, he could at most drive the crystal to display a single character.

Xie Ziyou was silent for a long time, puzzled. “How does the dean know what happened a thousand miles away?”

“Why does he want me to take Guan Heng back?”

The System sighed and said, “Since he wants to see Guan Heng, at least he doesn’t want to take the protagonist’s life.”

“Think about it. Maybe this isn’t a bad thing?”

Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth.

… Hopefully.

He turned his head and suddenly met Wu Cong’s gaze.

The young man’s face was steely black, and his eyes were filled with anger. He held an identical crystal in his hand that was glowing brightly. The tadpole-shaped lines gradually condensed. It was clear that he had received the same information as Xie Ziyou.

The dean passed the information to the two of them.

Xie Ziyou and Wu Cong, one of them floating in the air, the other standing quietly on the ground, separated by Wu Zhengying, who was whimpering “Brother Cong”. Their gazes met. For a moment, they looked at each other in dismay, their hearts filled with regret.

With the other party as witnesses, it was inconvenient for them to destroy the body and pretend they didn’t see anything.

Although the Central Academy was located in the center of the continent, it covered an area of ten thousand mu. It wasn’t a flat plain with buildings, but rather mountains and rivers surrounded it, with layers upon layers of mountain peaks.

There were towering mountains and towering peaks, and surging rivers. There was no lack of dangerous cliffs and cliffs. It served as a place for students to train themselves and also served as a deterrent to punishment.

The famous “Repentance Cliff” was one of them.

Surrounded by water on all sides, the Repentance Peak stood tall. The Repentance Peak was thousands of feet tall, and from afar, it looked rugged and dark green. There was a faint white mist that resembled mist and clouds, curling around it like silk ribbons.

Strangely, there were still lush pine trees at the lower elevations of the peak. But from about a thousand meters away, the Repentance Peak miraculously drew a line between heaven and earth. Above that thousand meters, the Repentance Peak was absolutely barren. Not a single blade of grass grew, and there was not a single trace of green in sight. There were only bare cliffs, and the snow that covered them for hundreds of years.

The cliff was so steep that it was like a jade mirror that had been cut by a knife. Every day during the day, the dazzling sunlight would fall on the cliff and reflect out with almost the same amount of light. It was like an unsheathed blade that pierced through the clouds.

Bitter cold, cold, lonely, bleak … These were all synonyms for the Repentance Cliff.

However, even if the heaven and earth were dangerous, there would always be a line.

Although the environment of the Repentance Cliff was extremely harsh, the air at the top of the peak was thin. The cliffs and the ice layer were exposed to sunlight all year round, gathering the essence of the sun and moon, and gathering the purer Xuan Qi between heaven and earth. It had the effect of calming one’s mind and comprehending the Dao and refining one’s cultivation.

Those who climbed the Repentance Cliff, as long as they were able to endure the bitter cold and loneliness, would be able to obtain great benefits in the end.

After bringing the unconscious Guan Heng back to the Central Academy, Xie Ziyou secretly signaled for the youth to be locked up on the Repentance Cliff.

The “Heaven Devourer” technique was best at absorbing Xuan Qi and purifying one’s body. The Repentance Cliff was a natural place for him to recover from his injuries.

But Xie Ziyou was still worried.

When night fell, he dismissed the maids. Looking at the dark and windy night outside, he secretly channeled his Qi and silently made his way to the Repentance Peak.

The System sighed several times, “You You, I can remotely monitor the protagonist’s life status …”

The moment it sighed, Xie Ziyou quickly covered his ears and shook his head, pretending not to hear it.

After repeating it a few times, the System stopped reminding him.

Its gaze was complicated as it watched Xie Ziyou sneakily sneak towards the direction where Guan Heng was locked up. Even though he was using the Seven Steps Floating Platform in such a place, his feet did not touch the ground and it was completely silent.

The place he was trapped in was a cave. The cave was empty and the cold wind was blowing. The stone platform beneath his feet was as cold as ice. Standing on it made one’s blood freeze and their limbs turn cold.

Xie Ziyou clung onto the stone wall and used his fingertips to grind down the stone powder. Finally, he made his way through a small hole.

He squatted on the ground and focused his attention on the cave.

The System said helplessly, “You You, your posture isn’t very elegant. It doesn’t match Fairy Xie’s persona. Once someone comes …”

Xie Ziyou squinted his eyes, the tip of his nose almost touching the stone wall. A thin layer of dust had fallen on his small nose, but he quickly wiped it off. His white skin revealed a faint red color.

The young man didn’t even turn his head. He just waved his left hand behind him impatiently. “It’s such a cold night. Who’s going to come up? Are you looking for trouble? ”

Before he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. His upturned peach blossom eyes flashed with shame and anger. He immediately changed the topic and muttered, “… Do I want to do this, just like peeping?”

“It’s all because of the poor design of the stone wall. The top is so thick, it’s impossible to get through, but the bottom is thin. Don’t interrupt, I’m just going to sneak a peek.

As he spoke, he moved closer to the stone wall and pressed his cheek tightly against it.

His black hair flowed down the sides of his ears, sweeping across the young man’s cheeks that were flushed by the cold wind. The ends of his hair were fine, and they quietly slid across the dusty ground.
