Chapter 741: Huge Rescue Team

Back at the main peak, Guan Xilin looked displeased when he saw Nie Teng, but he didn't drag up old grievances with him. Instead, he went to look for Ye Jing to find out what had happened and then prepared to leave with the Deputy Headmaster.

"Why are the few of you coming along? They are eight Golden Core cultivators and four Nascent Soul cultivators, and we don't even know the exact level of their cultivation. You are just going to get yourselves killed if you go. Stay back and wait for our return!"

After he finished speaking, the Deputy Headmaster looked at the Headmaster and the rest of the teachers leave under the leadership of Ye Jing. He then turned to Nie Teng, Guan Xilin and Xiao Yihan and said: "Go back now! Don't cause any delays to our rescue mission!" Before they could respond, he stepped on his flying sword and caught up with the party up ahead.

Nie Teng glanced at Guan Xilin then leaped onto his flying sword and followed the group ahead.

When he saw that Nie Teng had followed the rescue party, Guan Xilin took out the Eight Trigram Dish and threw it in the air. He stepped on the dish and followed suit.

"Wait for me!" Xiao Yihan also stepped onto his flying artifact and followed them.

Back at the academy, all the students were shocked as they stared at Nebula's four Nascent Soul Elders, Spirit Division's eighteen Golden Core teachers and Mystical Division's twenty Martial Sacred teachers, who under the leadership of the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster, left the academy for the town at great speed.

"Hey! That's the whole academy's teachers who are above Golden Core stage! Even the four Nascent Soul Elders have made an appearance, along with the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster. What on earth could have happened?"

"Who exactly did Feng Jiu provoke that they would need such a strong rescue team? Also, why would the academy use all their manpower to go and rescue a new student? Is Feng Jiu really just a country bumpkin from a ninth grade country?"

"Look! That's Master Mo Chen! The Sky Master's disciple is also going with them." The students watched from below in shock as they pointed to the figure that followed the rescue party.

Chief Gong and two other people had arrived at the forest. The moment they stepped into the forest, they felt the surge of powerful atmosphere. The air was filled with a blood thirsty intent, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air.

"Will the Ghost Doctor die?" The Golden Core cultivator asked.

"She won't die so easily." Chief Gong replied in a deep voice: "Her foundation is contracted by the ancient sacred fire phoenix, even in her last moments of life, her contracted beast will come out to protect her. It's just that there may be things that we can't foresee."

"Over there!"

As the elder spoke, his eyes fixed on something in front of him: "The airflow up ahead is the strongest, and there is the faint sounds of swords clashing. They should be in the depths of the forest."

"Let's go!"

As the three men spoke, they ventured further into the forest. As they walked further into the forest, they could feel the difference in the pressure from the outer parts of the forest. Their blood within their bodies writhed the further they went.

Chief Gong and the Nascent Soul elder weren't too bad. However, the Golden Core cultivator had to stabilise the pressure in his body to avoid losing control over his mind and body.

It had taken the three men about the time of half a joss stick before they arrived at the scene of battle. When they saw the red figure besieged by four Nascent Soul cultivators and two Golden Core cultivators, they couldn't help but shrink back....

Chapter 742: Opportunity

Feng Jiu's red robes were covered in fresh blood from being slashed by the sharp swords. She held the lifeless sword in her hand as she squatted on the floor breathless. Although she looked defeated, her eyes sparkled with fierceness and fight! It was dazzling!

The four Nascent Soul cultivators and two Golden Core cultivators surrounded her. The powerful atmosphere the six of them produced the blood of the three men watching boil. However, Feng Jiu who stood in the middle of them was able to use her spirit energy and stood up......

According to the information, she was only a Great Spirit Master.....

It was already extremely rare for a Great Spirit Master to sustain the battle for this long. When he saw her glance over at them, Chief Gong said: " We are here to help you!" As soon as he spoke, the sword in his hand was raised, ready to make a path for her escape.

Feng Jiu's eyes flashed as she stared at the three men, a little out of breath: "Then take care of those two Golden Core cultivators."

The three men surrounded the two Golden Core cultivators after hearing her instructions. Both these men were the peak level of Golden Core stages, the highest stage. Out of the three of them, only Chief Gong was at the peak level of Golden Core stages. The elder was Nascent Soul stage, and the other Golden Core cultivator was only at level three.

With their strength, it was not possible to go up against the four Nascent Soul cultivators without losing. Since that was the case, they would lure these two men away and kill them first!

"You're seeking death! I will take your three lives!" The two Nascent Soul cultivators said in a deep voice and flew away with them to about ten metres away.

Even though there was a Nascent Soul cultivator out of the three men, but they were not guaranteed victorious as they had magical weapons! Moreover, how could these sixth grade country cultivators compete with them?

"Feng Jiu, you better surrender, or you will suffer!"

One of the Nascent Soul cultivators said coldly: "Don't think that these people can save you. The four of us are Nascent Soul peak cultivators. We can make the whole Nebula City collapse with just a shake of our legs!"

At this point, they showed their full strength and released their Nascent Soul peak cultivators' breath and pressure!

This was their final showdown! One Nascent Soul peak cultivator had the ability to burn a city to the ground, even a whole country! They couldn't care less about the Nebula Academy!

Feng Jiu took deep breaths and stood up using the Qingfeng sword as a support. She seemed to have a messy atmosphere. However, nobody noticed that this was actually the opportunity she had been waiting for. The blood within her body was screaming and expanding through every muscle in her body. She could only feel her blood boiling, like a stream of flowing water, rushing all the way into the sea.....

Within her dantian, the dripping water turned into a vortex, her spirit energy surged as it condensed and got stronger. She knew that it was not the best time to cultivate her foundation, but it was the opportunity she had been waiting for!

"Then let's fight! I want to experience how formidable a Nascent Soul peak cultivator is!"

Chapter 743: Surge Of Mysterious Breath

She looked at the four Nascent Soul cultivators stood in front of her, a look of madness in her eyes, the determination to fight for her life was obvious at this moment. The mysterious breath and spirit energy gathered together and formed a breathtaking atmosphere that shocked everyone. The intent to kill was emanating off her, and from a dozen of metres from her, the airflow seemed to join up with her. At this moment, she gave people a terrifying feeling like she was about to destroy the earth.....

"Hiss!"

"How is that possible! She has the Mystical Body!"

"Dear God! It's the Mystical Spirit Body! So rare it is only seen once in a million years!"

At this point, even the four Nascent Soul cultivators were startled as they looked upon the powerful airflow that surged from her body. They thought about the legend of the Mysterious Mystical Spirit Body.

The cultivation of a Mystical Spirit Body was ten times faster than that of a genius cultivator! Maybe even more! There has never been a Mystical Spirit Body from within the Eight Empires. They never expected to come across one in a low level country, a ninth grade country even!

It was no wonder that person had his eyes set on her. Even if she was ordinary and not outstanding, after a few years of cultivation, she would be above everyone else!

"We can't let her live! Kill her!"

Such a person who had a Mystical Spirit Body could not be allowed to live! Even if those above had instructions to bring her back alive, however, in that moment, they knew they couldn't let such a person live! The threat was too high!

"Kill her!"

Blood thirsty cries could be heard from the four Nascent Soul cultivators as they attacked together. They hadn't used their full power earlier on with the intent of capturing her alive. However, now they exerted their full power with the intent to kill!

"You want to kill me, then I will kill you instead!"

Blazing flames rushed out from her body. The fire was from the ancient beasts that were joined with her body. On top of Qingfeng emanating surges of green glow, a cluster of flames surged ahead with the pressure of the ancient beasts. The four Nascent Soul cultivators were no threat to her.

This was war, fight to the death!

The startling airflow and terrifying atmosphere spread through the whole forest. Even the people dozens of metres away were struck by the invisible pressure from the four Nascent Soul conquerors and Feng Jiu's powerful airflow that was visible to the naked eye.

The airflow was like turbulent waves that rushed through and piled on top of each other continuously until the whole forest was completely filled. Whether it was the ground or in the air, it was filled with strong pressure.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh! Bam, bam!"

Other than the Nascent Soul elder, the few people who were dozens of metres away lost control and slammed hard onto the ground. Although the Nascent Soul elder heard the loud noise that came from the depths of the forest, he did not go to see what had happened. Instead, while the two Golden Core cultivators had lost control of their balance and combat power, he took the opportunity and drew two short swords and charged towards the two men like thunder, destroying them.

In an instant, only the sounds of metal clashing could be heard. The two Golden Core cultivators hadn't had time to respond and fell to the ground. Their eyes showed resentment as they stared at the Nascent Soul elder in death.

Chapter 744: Ancient Pressure

At this time, a group of cultivators arrived headed by the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster. When the two men saw the situation as they arrived at the forest, they were startled, especially when they recognised one of the men being Chief Gong from the Black Market.

In a blink of an eye, the two men were behind him.

"Chief Gong, what are you here?" The Headmaster asked, his eyes fixed on the two dead Golden Core cultivators on the ground. At the same time, he could hear the sounds of battle from within the depths of the forest.

"You've come too?" Chief Gong looked at the Headmaster and then at the group of cultivators behind him. He was shocked that the Headmaster had brought all the teachers from the academy to rescue Feng Jiu. However....

"We rushed over as soon as we heard the news. We saw Feng Jiu inside the forest, but we can't enter. See for yourselves." He gestured towards the depths of the forest where the powerful airflow could be seen.

"There are four Nascent Soul peak conquerors inside. The Nascent Soul cultivator's pressure has been released and spread through the whole forest. But more importantly, other than the Nascent Soul cultivator's pressure, there is also another....."

Chief Gong hesitated and looked towards the depths of the forest without saying anything else.

The Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster looked into the forest and also felt that other than the Nascent Soul cultivators' pressure, there was another... Ancient Sacred Beast breath!

Was it Feng Jiu's life contract beast? Was his life contract beast an Ancient Sacred Beast?

As the two men suppressed their shock and looked at each other, they heard the exclamations of the teachers who had gathered behind them.

"Wow! Can Feng Jiu still be alive when there is such a powerful spiritual airflow?"

"The pressure of the spiritual airflow from inside the forest is making me shudder..."

"This is the pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator!" Four elders of the academy said in unison. It was a big deal for the four elders to come and rescue one student.

Guan Xilin had not stopped like everyone else in front of the forest. He however, had put up the defense mechanisms on his Eight Trigrams Dish and flew straight into the depths of the forest. Upon seeing this, the Headmaster and everyone else were in shock.

"Come back! Do you want to die?"

The Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster chased after him. The four Nascent Soul elders paused and also followed them into the forest. The rest of the teachers looked at each other and took out their magical weapons to put up defences and also went into the forest.

It was difficult for the Golden Core cultivators to maintain control under such strong pressure, but they managed using their magical weapons. However, could Feng Jiu from a ninth grade country survive such a powerful pressure?

"We will go in too!" The Nascent Soul cultivator who was with Chief Gong said lifted his sleeve up and followed everyone.

"Let's go!" The teachers from the academy had magical weapons, naturally they did too.

Nie Teng and Xiao Yihan also went into the forest. One was the Crown Prince of Green Gallop Country, and the other was the son of the first wife of a powerful family. Naturally, they both also had magical artifacts.

Mo Chen who was behind them stopped in midair on his flying sword and didn't fly into the forest. He was getting a sense of the pressure and airflow that penetrated the whole forest.

The pressure that was mixed in with the Nascent Soul peak cultivators' pressure was not Golden Core nor Nascent Soul, nor was it Sacred Beast, it was...... Ancient Pressure!

Chapter 745: Kill Nascent Soul

As he looked at the forest that was engulfed in the pressure and airflow, he muttered thoughtfully: " Feng Jiu, who on earth are you?" He lifted his sleeve and also entered the forest...

In the depths of the forest, the battle between the four Nascent Soul cultivators and Feng Jiu was mind-blowing! In comparison to their spiritual power, hers became stronger the more they fought, like as if they were losing their power to her. Her speed and fighting power was incredibly strong.

In particular, the ancient pressure coming off her body slowed their movements down. Even though they are Nascent Soul cultivators, facing ancient pressure made their hearts shake with fear.

After battling for some time, the Nascent Soul cultivators bodies were filled with wounds. However, the wounds caused by the Qingfeng sword weren't bleeding. Because the sword had flames, when it sliced through their flesh, the fire burnt their skin before it could bleed. The smell of burnt flesh spread.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators covered in wounds looked embarrassed. If it weren't witnessed, no one would believe that a Great Spirit Master could back them into a corner like this. They experienced how powerful the mystical spirit body was first hand. If she weren't a female, they would have taken her body and used it to cultivate their powers.

If the people outside knew she had a mystical spirit body, they would most definitely come forth and try to take the body for themselves. This kind of body was that of a supreme cultivator, a temptation that one could not ignore, but it's a pity, a pity...

"Woosh! Bang!"

The Qingfeng sword slashed through midair, out for blood. The strong pressure from the sword slashed the airflow into two halves. The sword brought with it the ancient pressure, as it aimed at one of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

That Nascent Soul cultivator was astonished and used the sword in his hand to block the sword. His whole body exerted spirit energy to block the blow from the sword. However, his Nascent Soul strength was no match for the ancient pressure, and he was forced backwards. The powerful airflow came at such force that his facial features distorted and he couldn't even open his eyes.

"Clash! Clang!"

The sword that was used to block his body was broken by the powerful pressure. The pieces flew behind him and were embedded into the ground. At the same time, a loud bang slammed into his chest and he was thrown back by the same powerful pressure. He wasn't able to control the blow and was dragged back a few hundred metres.

No one heard it. When the Nascent Soul cultivator was struck by the powerful force, his body made a sound like as if a blade cut through his body. It was actually part of the sword that was embedded in the ground that had pierced through his body when he landed on the ground. Dust from the ground flew up in the air as the airflow whistled. No one noticed that the Nascent Soul cultivator on the ground was not moving, and blood was slowly seeping out from beneath his body. As he lay dying, his eyes stayed opened and stared at the red robed Feng Jiu.....

Chapter 746: I'm Not Leaving

After that Nascent Soul cultivator died, the remaining three men recovered from their shock. They couldn't believe that a Nascent Soul cultivator actually died at the hands of a Great Spirit Master...

Even if this Great Spirit Master had a mystical spirit body, even if she had a life contract with an ancient sacred beast, even if she had ancient pressure, but, but this was a Nascent Soul cultivator! Even if his body was dead, the Nascent Soul cultivator could still survive! How, how could he be dead....

Because they couldn't believe it, one of the Nascent Soul cultivators flew over and turned over the body of the dead Nascent Soul cultivator. He saw that the sword had pierced through into his dantian. Only a small section of the sword could be seen sticking out of the Nascent Soul cultivator's body. Blood had dyed his robes.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who looked middle-aged at this time started to change once the older Nascent Soul cultivator died. His face withered and he aged quickly as he absorbed the vitality of the dead cultivator. In no time at all he became an old man.

The atmosphere seemed to solidify at this moment, the repressed and low spirited breath were released from the remaining three Nascent Soul cultivators. Blood thirsty atmosphere filled the air and formed a flow of airstream that surrounded the few people which isolated them from the outside and obscured their view.

The closer the Headmaster and everyone else got, they found that their blood was not circulating well. The few Nascent Soul cultivators weren't as affected, but the teachers that followed behind them were not able to get closer. The distance between them grew bigger.

This was the difference in their strength, a difference in one level was not a minor thing.

"Feng Jiu! Get ready to die!"

The cold murderous voice from within the airflow barrier startled the people outside of it.

Feng Jiu was still alive? He was able to hold out for so long under the attack of Nascent Soul cultivators?

"Little Jiu! Little Jiu!"

Guan Xilin's eyes were red with worry. Even though he was a Martial Ancestor, but at this moment, no matter how much he wanted to continue forwards and rush through the airflow barrier, he couldn't take another step forward.

Under the powerful pressure and airflow, each step he took was like a dead weight. Each step that took him closer made his blood boil, as if it were going to burst out of his blood vessels.

Xiao Yihan was the same. Even though he was a Foundation cultivator, he was unable to more forwards under the powerful pressure. He was shocked that Feng Jiu was able to withstand this pressure for so long when they found it difficult to even move.

"You all should retreat. The pressure and airflow is too strong for you all to withstand." The Deputy Headmaster sent the two men backwards dozens of metres with a swish of his sleeve.

However, when he was about to send Nie Teng back, he saw that Nie Teng stared at him with cold, chilling eyes that made him shiver just a little bit. Why did he follow them? He knew about the danger and yet he came. Did he know Feng Jiu?

"I am not leaving!"

Nie Teng spoke in a calm voice as he looked at the Deputy Headmaster. He then looked that the airflow barrier in front of them and head the sound of battle coming from within. His chest tightened. He then took out an object from his space.

Chapter 747: We Are Here

It was a pearl that was round and smaller than an egg. It didn't look like anything special, so most people would probably mistake it as a pearl for playing with.

"It's one of the three royal treasures of Green Gallop Country, The Black Hurricane Spirit Pearl!"

The Headmaster was surprised that Nie Teng carried a treasure like this on him. It was extremely precious because it was made out of black obsidian and engraved with defensive array symbols. Just the defence array alone could withstand twenty attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators. In addition to its defensive power, it could also control the wind in the air. If a cultivator with wind properties were to get its hand on it, the pearl would play a great role in battle.

Nie Teng threw the pearl in the air, the pearl swept up the surrounding air to one side and sucked up the powerful airflow that formed a barrier into a whirlwind under the pearl, then sent that to the other side of the forest.

Because the powerful airflow that formed a barrier was swept away, the battle within the forest was now visible to everyone outside of the barrier. The scene before their eyes took their breath away.

Feng Jiu who was dressed in red robes was covered in wounds. There was so much blood on his clothes that you couldn't tell which was his blood, and which was the enemies' blood. What was shocking was the amount of wounds and the fresh blood on his robes, and the strong murderous pressure coming off him.

The most shocking thing of all was the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of them who had driven his sword into his shoulder. The sword had penetrated through his whole shoulder and protruded out the back......

The green sword in his hand had pierced through the heart of the Nascent Soul cultivator had a flame that emitted from it.

"Hiss!"

When everyone saw the scene before them, they breathed a sigh of relief when they realised that this was a wound swapping battle method! This method could defeat eight hundred to a thousand!

What they witnessed was so terrifying that they couldn't help but worry. If the Nascent Soul cultivator's aim was accurate, they he would lose his life for sure....

"Boom!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator looked up with shock in his eyes as Feng Jiu had kicked him and he fell over. Once the Nascent Soul was destroyed, every trace of vitality would disappear.

"Hmm!"

The long sword that had penetrated the Nascent Soul cultivator was pushed out because of his fall onto his back. At the same time the sword was pushed out, she stepped backwards and used the sword in her hand to steady herself.

She glanced sideways at the crowd of people who came towards them and couldn't help but feel surprised when she saw them. Familiar faces and unfamiliar faces, was the whole academy's instructors with combat power here?

"Feng Jiu, we are here!"

The Headmaster's gaze fell onto the young boy, who had managed to hold out for this long, until they had arrived to help. There were no words to describe how he felt, other than excitement that he was still alive.

His gaze moved from Feng Jiu to the two remaining Nascent Soul cultivators, his old and deep voice rang out with clear intent of murder.

"Kill!"

Chapter 748: Feng Jiu's Foundation

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Once the Headmaster's screamed out the order to kill, everyone repeated after him and shouted kill, their voices filled with fierceness. Even though most of the teachers were only Martial Sacred cultivators, none of them backed away. None of them showed fear, but rushed forwards instead and surrounded the two Nascent Soul cultivators to kill them.

With their combined power, surely they could kill the two Nascent Soul cultivators?

The surge of murderous power charged towards the two Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if their strength was not comparable to them, but the four Nascent Soul elders in front of them plus the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster leading them, they were all driven and ferocious like a tiger.

"Little Jiu!"

Guan Xilin had ran over to steady the injured Feng Jiu. His heart tightened up when he saw her covered in fresh blood: "Let me stop the bleeding for you first."

"Feng Jiu, how are you? Are you okay?" Xiao Yihan asked as he looked at him again and couldn't say the words Feng Little Brother.

Who would dare call a young boy who could fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator Little Brother? He hadn't known how strong his power was in the past, but now that he knew, how could he dare call call him Little Brother when his strength was so much more powerful and horrifying than his?

"Medicine."

Just as Guan Xilin was about to get the medicine, he saw a hand stretched out towards him with a bottle of medicine bottle. He glanced up at Nie Teng and ignored him. Instead, he reached into the Spatial Space and retrieved a bottle of medicine and poured it over Feng Jiu's shoulder.

Nie Teng looked at her pale face, it was the first time he had seen her this way. Even though she was covered in wounds, her magnificence still shone through.

She battled against Nascent Soul cultivators on her own, had her strength really increased so much?

Feng Jiu hadn't paid any attention to Nie Teng. Her focus was on the group of people who had surrounded the two Nascent Soul cultivators. She felt that her body could no longer contain the irregular breaths, her spiritual power was changing.

"Elder brother, I am going into the Foundation stage. Protect me."

She pushed him away and sat down cross-legged, then her hands marked out a complicated marking and placed two enchantments around herself.

Guan Xilin was shocked. Foundation stage? Here, now?

He recovered from his shock when he saw the enchantments and the surge of power from her. He had turned around immediately and stood guard outside the enchantment circle to protect her, in case the two Nascent Soul cultivators tried to attack her.

Nie Teng was also in shock, but said nothing and stood guard outside the enchantment circle to protect her.

Xiao Yihan asked, his eyes wide open with shock: "Fou....foundation stage?" What? Did he hear right? Feng Jiu was actually going into Foundation stage here? Was he not afraid that they could not protect the enchantment circle from the Nascent Soul cultivators, and they disturbed her? All her effort would go to waste.

"We also have to protect her."

The three members from the Black Market had not joined in the battle up ahead, but stood guard outside the enchantment circle instead.

While the few people were standing guard outside the enchantment circle, a group of people led by the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster were attacking the two Nascent Soup cultivators. Quite a few instructors were hurt and thrown from the battle. The Golden Core teachers were not able to get past the Nascent Soul cultivators. The situation was starting to be worrying.

At this point, one of the Nascent Soul cultivators waved his hand and went towards the enchantment circle......

Chapter 749: Need to Kill

Upon seeing this, the Nascent Soul elder from the Black Market flew towards him. The palm of his hand was condensed with spiritual force as he attacked him. Though both men were Nascent Soul cultivators, one was a peak stage cultivator and one was only middle stage.

The two palms collided, a loud sound was heard as the force created an explosion that shook the surrounding airflow.

The Nascent Soul elder from the Black Market was pushed back by the force of the palms colliding. He wasn't able to stop himself and slammed straight into a tree trunk.

"Bang!"

"Puff!"

After the blow against the tree, he fell onto the floor and spat out blood. He stood up and tried to walk forwards, but he swayed and fell down again.

The Nascent Soul cultivator took no notice of anyone else, because in his eyes only Feng Jiu had to die! He could not let her advance to Foundation stage, or else the future will be bleak!

"Uncle!"

President Gong exclaimed when he saw the Nascent Soul cultivator had sent a force towards the first enchantment circle with his palm. It was too late to stop the first enchantment from being broken, so he gritted his teeth and charged forwards with the sword in his hand. Before he could reach him, he was sent flying dozens of metres away with a sweep of his hand.

"Boom!"

His body fell heavily onto the ground and blood spilled from his mouth. Even though he was Golden Core peak stage, he was still no match for the Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Damn it!"

He looked down at the ground as he wiped the blood from his mouth and then stood up. He was about to attack again when he saw that the elders from the academy, Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster and several Nascent Soul cultivators had split up into two groups and started to surround that Nascent Soul cultivator.

He looked over to a few dozens of metres away and saw that his uncle had not gotten up from the ground. He rushed over to help his uncle up.

"Uncle, how are you? Are you okay?" He asked as he helped him up.

"Cough...cough..cough....."

As the old man coughed, he also spat out blood: " Nascent Soul peak cultivator is indeed formidable. Even I, a Nascent Soul cultivator could not block his attacks."

As he spoke, he had looked over at Feng Jiu who was on the last level of advancement, both her hands were bursting of spiritual energy. His eyes were wide open with shock.

"The...The breath from her..."

The spiritual power and mysterious force were mutually compatible, and they all belonged to her alone. The Golden Core cultivators were not able to tell the difference. Only the Nascent Soul cultivators knew what was happening.

President Gong saw the change in his expression and asked: "What is the breath surging from her?"

Even though it was strong, but should they be surprised by it? After all, everything that Feng Jiu had done was shocking. Just like what had happened today, if it weren't for the fact that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that a Great Spirit Master could kill two Nascent Soul cultivators. It was absolutely inconceivable.

A short distance away, Mo Chen dressed in white robes stood under a tree as he observed Feng Jiu who was sat cross-legged and about to advance to the Foundation Stage. He looked thoughtful as he looked at the fresh blood that stained his red robes and his look of concentration with his eyes closed.

However, while he was meditating, and everyone else was protecting him, a dark, large cloud flew across the sky with a loud bang....

Chapter 750: The Heavenly Foundation Building

The dark cloud amassed, getting larger and larger. It almost covered the whole jungle. The Heaven and Earth's formidable pressure came down from the clouds. The powerful pressure from the sky and the pressure from the jungle below repelled each other. A strong air flow exploded in the sky, making the ground shook. Those who besieged the two Nascent Soul cultivators looked up in astonishment.

They knew that Feng Jiu was at the Foundation Building stage. They had also gone through this stage before. However, this kind of stir had never occurred before! Moreover, why did the pressure released by the dark clouds contain the spirit of Heaven and Earth?

Among all the people present, only the headmaster and deputy headmaster as well as the four Nascent Soul elders were shaken to their core. They knew clearly what that was...

That was the Heaven and Earth qi! She actually provoked the Heaven and Earth qi to turn up during her Foundation Building. This, this was simply unprecedented...

Generally speaking, a cultivator needed Foundation Building pills during this process. It could be said that those pills were absolutely necessary. Without them, in nine cases out of ten, the cultivator would fail this process. The failure would not only destroy one's foundation, but also degraded one's strength by several ranks.

Therefore, without the Foundation Building pills, even those favoured by the gods wouldn't dare to start this stage. However, it was said that there was a kind of Foundation Building that integrated the power of Heaven and Earth. It didn't need the assistance of Foundation Building pills. When this perfect foundation was completed, it laid an extraordinary base for the Golden Core. However, this was also known as the Heavenly Foundation Building - an extremely difficult one to find even among a hundred thousands of cultivators.

However, they witnessed this extremely rare case here. They saw that Feng Jiu called on the spirit of Heaven and Earth to aid her Foundation Building process. Her boldness truly made them break out in cold sweat as well as invigorate their spirits.

At this moment, even though they knew that she was a genius at refining elixirs, they couldn't treat her as an ordinary cultivator. They started regarding her as the proud child of heaven, and they were still very much shaken.

After a cultivator who consumed the Foundation Building pill completed this ordinary stage successfully, he had officially stepped into the path of immortality. His life expectancy would have been increased to 200 years old.

But those who built their foundations with the power of Heaven and Earth were regarded as possessing heavenly foundation building. When they successfully completed this stage, their strength was beyond comparison. Moreover, their life expectancy would increase to 300 years old, which was equivalent to Golden Core cultivators. How could they not be shocked?

"Boom!"

The first thunderbolt shot down heavily while everyone was still in a fright. It pierced through the boundary and landed on Feng Jiu. At the same time, air flows visible to the naked eye swept out. It was like ripples of water spreading out in circles.

The two Nascent Souls, who were under siege, saw the fall of the first thunderbolt. At present, they condensed a stream of air with their hands with the intent to blast it off to where Feng Jiu was. When the headmaster and others saw this, they all tried to block it. However, they were still hit by the air flow that gathered up ten percent of the Nascent Soul peak stage's strength and flew out tens of meters away.

"Boom!"

The second thunderbolt fell at this time, tempering her body and her veins. A rich and abundant aura was surging in her body. The ribbon tying her hair snapped by force and her hair scattered in the air, flying in a tangled mess.

"Go to hell!"

The two Nascent Soul powerful cultivators attacked simultaneously. The strong air stream that they gathered formed a vortex. Their attacks carried an earth-shattering killing intent. They intended to destroy her foundation and kill her by dilating her blood and vital breath!

"Little Jiu!"

"Feng Jiu!"

"Feng Jiu!"

Guan Xilin, Nie Teng and Xiao Yihan were originally blown away by the airflow. Seeing this scene, they all rushed forward to block it. However, a figure came faster than them...

Chapter 751: The enchanting red robes

Mo Chen, wearing a white robe, flashed to the front of the boundary. He quickly gathered a powerful airflow with both hands to block the coming attack carrying a violent killing intent.

However, even with his skills, it was difficult to resist the combined attack of the two peak level Nascent Soul powerful cultivators.

The airflow attacks of both parties collided mid air, causing fierce whooshing sounds. The three powerful cultivators' pressures crashed with the air currents and created an explosion. The strong latent energy pushed them several meters behind.

As the two sides retreated, a trickle of blood oozed from the corners of their lips. The powerful impact knocked Guan Xilin and the others who came rushing forward for the second time flying. The defense boundary that Feng Jiu erected was also broken at this time.

"Bang!"

Mo Chen looked back. His glance captured the person sitting cross-legged in the midst of the surging air currents. Her jet-black hair flew about in a mess. The face that he considered pretty before now looked absolutely beautiful. She was even more enchanting in her red dress. It inexplicably added a woman's enchanting aura. His eyes moved fleetingly, staring at the alluring and gorgeous face. He kept looking and looking at her.

After a long time, he looked away and swept a glance at the boundary that was split open. Feng Jiu was at the center, with breath from the mystical energy and the powerful pressures still pervading the air.

He slowly turned back and looked at the two pale-faced peak level Nascent Soul cultivators in front of him. At the same time, he raised his hand to wipe the trace of blood from his mouth.

His eyes sunk at the scarlet speck of blood at his fingertips. Even though he seemed like an immortal, at that time, he was filled with a murderous spirit. The two Nascent Soul cultivators were shocked that he had used only one man's power to block their joint attack.

The white figure flashed in front of them and grabbed their necks with both hands. Before they knew it, a snapping sound was heard and their necks were crushed.

That action looked very casual and effortless, but it stunned the crowd behind him...

The two Nascent Soul cultivators died with fear on their faces. But just then, two tiny figures flew out of their bodies to escape. However, before flying a meter away, they were strangled again by Mo Chen.

Seeing this scene, not only the headmaster and deputy headmaster, but the four elders of the academy also gulped and looked at him in horror.

That man who looked like an immortal and such a clean person was so horrible when killing people. It made them tremble...

Even though they knew that he had an unfathomable strength, they were shocked to see that he killed those two peak level Nascent Soul powerful cultivators without much effort. Was his strength already surpassing those Nascent Souls?

The people present felt scared when they thought of this. When he turned to face them with an indifferent expression, every one of them except the headmaster and deputy headmaster took a step back.

"Boom!"

The third thunderbolt shot down at this moment and broke this weird atmosphere. At last, their eyes were drawn away from the immortal-looking man and fell on Feng Jiu who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

After the third thunderbolt, the surrounding energy was absorbed into Feng Jiu's body. Her rank was also rising step by step. Looking at the speed of her promotion, once again, the crowd's jaw dropped.

First rank, third rank. It didn't stop until the middle stage of Foundation Building....

Chapter 752: You're a woman

A teacher gulped and supported the person beside him, saying, "Other people advanced one or two ranks up. Say, how could he advance in one full stage? He went directly into the foundation building period and after the early stage of foundation building, she stepped into the middle stage without even stopping... "

"Can the Heavenly Foundation Building be the same as others? It must be different. "

"True. The academy hasn't seen a Heavenly Foundation Building for so many years. However, judging from the frightening pressure when Feng Jiu's advancing her ranks, it was really different from the ordinary Foundation Building cultivators."

At the front, the headmaster and deputy headmaster listened to the teachers talking behind them. The corners of their lips were slightly drawn out in an undetectable manner. They didn't know that Feng Jiu had the mystical energy body. Earlier, they mistakenly thought that the powerful pressure was Heavenly Foundation Building.

However, they were not aware that a person having the mystical energy body advanced differently. Ordinary cultivators stopped at the first level of Foundation Building when they entered this stage. Even the talented cultivators stopped at the second or third level when they advanced. Like Feng Jiu, there were few people who directly breakthrough into the middle stage early on.

After a half-column incense of time had passed, the surrounding mystical energy breath returned into Feng Jiu's body. Her cultivation level had been rising continuously. After entering the middle stage, it had still been rising until the peak stage. The spirit energy had been surging up, making it seem that she would break through the last threshold. However, her ability was limited. After several times of impact at the peak, her spirit energy aura was gradually weakening and finally stopped.

Even so, as soon as she stepped into the Foundation Building stage, she became a Foundation Building peak stage. This kind of speed still made people gasp with amazement.

It's important to know that it took an ordinary cultivator nearly ten years to get to the middle stage from the initial stage. However, in a short period of less than half a column incense stick to burn, she broke through at one stroke to become the Foundation Building peak stage....

Feng Jiu opened her eyes slowly. At this moment, she realized the difference of her body. Because she had entered the Foundation Building stage, there was a small vital sea of energy inside her meridians. Like a vortex, the spirit gathered and surging up, wrapping the green lotus inside.

Entering the Foundation Building, her vision seemed to be different. She could hear some tiny sounds in the distance and see some minuscular things. In brief, it felt extremely unusual.

However, what made her feel strange was that the immortal-like man in a spotless white robe was currently standing in front of her while fixing his gaze at her straightforwardly. She couldn't help but be stunned by this queer stare.

"What are you doing?"

She sat cross-legged, for even as she entered the Foundation Building stage, she still could not recover from her injuries. The pain made her want to curse at someone.

"You are a woman." Mo Chen watched her attentively. His voice was calm but his eyes and his heart were turbulent.

Following Mo Chen's affirmation, all the people around, except the three Black Market people, Guan Xilin and Nie Teng who knew her identity were astonished. Their mouths were agape and their astonished looks were fixed on Feng Jiu.

"Wo, woman?"

Nie Teng frowned and stared at Mo Chen with a cold face. Guan Xilin was the same, staring at him coldly.

Xiao Yihan stared at Feng Jiu open-mouthed. If Mo Chen didn't say, he wouldn't have paid any attention. When he took another look at the youth with her hair coming loose, which part of her was like a young man? She clearly was an enchanting beauty.

Chapter 753: Carried away

Feng Jiu, still in a cross-legged position, heard this and blinked at Mo Chen who stood in front of her. Her lips curled up when she saw his expression as well as the astonished gazes of the surrounding crowd. She reached out to take the straying strand of jet-black hair off her cheek and pinned it behind her ear. Then she stood up holding the Qingfeng sword on her side.

But due to her shoulder injury as well as other wounds on her body, her figure swayed when she started standing up.

At this moment, the crowd seemed to notice the Qingfeng sword in her hand. They were looking on foolishly. The shock was so great that it made them not knowing how to react.

"Everybody, many thanks for coming to my rescue. Feng Jiu thanks all of you here."

Although her face was pale, she still held the sword in her hand and gave a salute to everyone. Her eyes were on the injured teachers and the Black Market's three men. When her eyes swept past Nie Teng, she paused for a while and then her gaze fell on the headmaster and deputy headmaster.

"You may not know my identity." She smiled. "I'm the princess of the Phoenix Empire, a ninth-grade country. So, I'm really a woman."

She looked at Mo Chen while saying the last sentence as if it was meant for him.

For a moment, the whole jungle was quiet. Each pair of eyes fell on her. At that moment, she was dressed in red with her jet-black hair scattered. Even though her face was pale, her eyebrows were radiant, confident and cunning. No one thought that this was a young man any more because seen from any angle, she was an alluringly beautiful woman.

"You, you wrote down your information as a man in the registration form..."

A teacher gulped. He thought it was inconceivable. A princess from the Phoenix Empire, a ninth-grade country? Feng Jiu? A woman? Why did she want to disguise herself as a man?

"Yeah!"

She nodded. "It's more convenient as a man. In addition..."

She made a pause. Her pair of dazzling eyes, like stars, narrowed into a half-moon. Her smile was touched with both cunning and jest, alike a mocking smile. "In addition, I have a beautiful face that can overthrow cities as well as a matchless and unrivalled elegance. If I walk outside in female's clothing, my admirers will swarm and pounce on me. It's difficult to ward them off. However, it's different when I'm in a man's wear. I look romantic, elegant, and exceedingly handsome. I charm countless of girls. So indeed, it's much better than female's clothes."

Black lines streaked across everyone's forehead. They drew out their lips in straight lines and looked away speechlessly.

Once the danger was over, she was back to her old indolent self. Now, where were her ruthlessness and fierceness when fighting alone with the Nascent Soul? Where was the trace of the previous majestic presence?

Most of the teachers who hadn't been in touch with Feng Jiu only knew that she had an odd character. Seeing her today, it really verified everyone's evaluation in the academy.

However, according to their knowledge, even if it's because she was handsome and elegant in man's clothes, there were some people among the boys and girls in the academy who gave her the nickname of "little white face"...

Seeing the people's strange expressions, she smiled sheepishly. This narcissistic boasts made her a little uncomfortable. So, she put away the Qingfeng sword, leaned on Guan Xilin's shoulder with one hand, and called out softly.

"Big Brother, carry me back! My wounds are killing me. "

However, as she finished speaking and Guan Xilin was about to pick her up, a figure in white stepped forward. In front of everyone's astonished eyes, he carried Feng Jiu atop the flying sword, heading toward the academy...

Chapter 754: My lips are sealed

Seeing this scene, Nie Teng's face instantly darkened. His eyes were fixed gloomily on the figure that had gone afar in a flash. His lips turned into a thin line. Finally, he raised his vital energy and followed him to the academy.

Guan Xilin's expression was not very good either. He was half bent to pick up his sister. Unexpectedly, Mo Chen carried her away. Nobody wouldn't be upset at this. He tossed the eight divinatory trigrams plate and quickly chased them.

Only Xiao Yicheng standing still in the same place, stupefied. Before he had calmed down from the shock of Feng Jiu's revelation, he saw that Mo Chen had carried Feng Jiu away.

The headmaster and deputy headmaster looked at each other with a slightly surprised expression. From what they knew about Mo Chen, he was not a person who could make such a move. How could he carry Feng Jiu away and left without saying a word?

"Cough!"

The headmaster coughed and threw a dignified look at the crowd. "Since Feng Jiu is disguised as a man, she doesn't want her identity as a woman to be known. Don't say a word about it afterwards."

A teacher hesitated and asked, "Headmaster, the sword she was holding just now...Is it the ancient sword Qingfeng?"

Hearing this, the headmaster's imposing eyes fell on the teacher and ordered in a deep voice. "It's indeed the ancient Qingfeng sword. It must be her destiny to obtain the sword. This sword had wide implications. Nothing that has been seen or heard here shall be mentioned again."

"Yes, we know."

Everyone nodded solemnly in agreement. They knew that it was a matter of great importance. If they couldn't manage this matter well, it would not only cause trouble for Feng Jiu but also cause disaster for their academy.

"Did you hear that, too?" The headmaster's gaze was fixed on the dazed Xiao Yihan.

Xiao Yihan slowly returned to his senses. He answered with a straight face, "Don't worry, headmaster. I won't tell that to anyone."

He was astonished. Where would he want to speak out about it? What's more, what happened today was so unfathomable. A man he called his younger brother had the strength of fighting alone against the Nascent Soul powerful cultivator. Moreover, that person was actually a woman.

"Well, let's return! Those with only light wounds support those with serious injuries. " The headmaster spoke and took the lead to leave. He let deputy headmaster bring back the rest of the people.

Mo Chen was carrying Feng Jiu on the flying sword. His sight was fixed toward the front, but his heart was stirred and his body was slightly stiff. It was because the person in his arms had been staring at him since she was carried in his embrace. This measuring look, a naked gaze without concealing anything, made him unable to relax.

"Young Master Mo Chen?" Feng Jiu stared at the immortal-like man who was pursing his lips.

He didn't lower his head and only answered indifferently. "Speak if you have anything to say."

"You're holding me too tightly." Feng Jiu jokingly said.

Mo Chen froze then looked down to meet her jesting eyes. He glanced at her then shifted his gaze. As his body relaxed, he also somewhat eased his hold.

Feng Jiu smiled. She gradually relaxed and closed her eyes. "I'm tired. I'll sleep for a while." After the fierce battle, only injuries and fatigue left in her body. With the crisis relieved, she relaxed and gradually fell asleep.

For a good while, Mo Chen lowered his head and watched the slumbering woman in his arms. His eyes showed his complicated feelings.

There was no doubt in his mind. He knew very well that she was the one he was looking for.

He just didn't expect that he had already met her, let alone that it would be her.

Chapter 755: Returning to the academy

Ye Jing was waiting anxiously at the academy's gate. She also went along with the headmaster and others. However, when they arrived at the city's main street, they were told by the civilians that those people earlier were heading towards the jungle.

She had planned to go with them but was told by deputy headmaster to return. The reason being her cultivation was the weakest among the people and might need their protection if she went along. Therefore, in order not to delay them, she could only come back and wait there.

However, after waiting for so long, she still did not see them returning to the academy. The longer the time passed, the more uneasy she felt.

"I wonder if they can save Feng Jiu? Can Feng Jiu hold those powerful cultivators off until the headmaster and his party arrive?"

She murmured in a low voice while walking restlessly back and forth. From time to time, she looked up to the Eastern sky and looked forward to seeing their flying swords coming back. However, it was not until a long time later that she saw figures on a flying sword coming from the sky.

With a happy heart, she took a closer look and saw that it was Young Master Mo Chen. In his bosom was Feng Jiu, with her red robe in tatters and her jet-black hair coming loose.

"Feng Jiu!"

She shouted with joy. As Young Master Mo Chen kept going to the academy on his flying sword and didn't make a stop, she took out her flying instrument quickly to catch up with them.

Behind them, Nie Teng and Guan Xilin came one after another. Their eyes were fixed on Mo Chen holding Feng Jiu. They watched him taking her to the main peak, so they also followed him there.

After putting Feng Jiu on a side room, he briefly took a look at her injuries. Since most of her injuries were on her body, he couldn't remove her clothes to examine and thus withdrew from the room.

"Here's the ointment for the wounds. Go in and help treat her wounds." He told Ye Jing who came close behind him and handed her a bottle of medicine.

"Yes." Ye Jing assented and entered the room quickly with the medicine.

Nie Teng and Guan Xilin had also landed in the courtyard. When they saw him sitting in the courtyard, they were about to go in and had a look. Immediately, they heard him spoke.

"A female student is helping to dress her wounds."

Hearing this, they paused their steps and remembered that her wounds were all on her body and did not go in. Instead, they retired to the courtyard and looked at the immortal-like man seated nearby the stone table. Neither of them spoke.

The headmaster and deputy headmaster came next. Those two also sat down in the courtyard, waiting for the door to open. After about an hour or so, Ye Jing came out.

"Ye Jing, how's Little Jiu?" Guang Xilin asked.

The others also looked at her.

"It's not bad. Only the shoulder injury is relatively serious, but it was already medicated and dressed. She slept for a while and then woke up. She had already taken the medicine herself. Then she went to sleep again." She was very glad that Feng Jiu was still alive.

After all, not everyone could survive the murderous pursuit of such powerful cultivators.

"I'll go in and have a look."

Guan Xilin walked inside while speaking. However, when he was just about to open the door, his steps halted. He frowned at Nie Teng who was trailing behind.

"What are you doing, following me?"

Nie Teng glanced at him and answered sullenly. "Get out of the way."

"Tch! Get out of the way? You want to go in? Who are you?" Guan Xilin sneered and blocked the door.

Nie Teng's eyes were profound and Spirit power started to rush forth in his body. When he was about to attack, he heard the deputy headmaster's voice.

"All right, all right. You two, don't stir up trouble here."

Deputy headmaster was blocking between the two people. He frowned. "Do you think she can recuperate well, knowing that you're fighting here?"

Chapter 756: That person is her

After hearing his speech, they didn't fight.

The headmaster and deputy headmaster looked at each other and walked inside with light steps. Then, Mo Chen followed in. Guan Xilin, Nie Teng and Ye Jing also walked in.

Not long after, those few people were surrounding the bed. Feng Jiu had been asleep. Although she looked pale, her breath did not show any signs of weakening or disorder. This fact made them feel relieved.

Seeing that her life was not in danger, they all went out together.

"It's good that there's no problem. I'll leave her to you. I'll see the injured teachers." The headmaster spoke and strode out from the place.

Nie Teng paused for a moment then also departed.

But Guan Xilin stayed. "I will wait until Little Jiu awake, then take her back to her cave-dwelling."

Deputy headmaster glanced at those few people in the courtyard and coughed softly. "I'll tell the kitchen to cook her some medicinal porridge. Her wounds will recover faster." He then also left.

In the courtyard, there were only Guan Xilin, Ye Jing and Mo Chen. They were all silent, the atmosphere seemed weird.

After a good while, Ye Jing looked at Guan Xilin. "You are wounded. I'll help dress your wounds!"

"It's okay. These are just scrape wounds."

He glanced at a few small cuts in his arm and ignored them. As for the internal injuries caused by the airflow, he had taken the medicinal pills on the way back. It had eased his pain a lot, so he was alright.

In the evening, Xiao Yihan, who helped to dress the injured teachers' wounds also came. Seeing the immortal in white sitting motionlessly in the courtyard, he pulled Guan Xilin aside and asked in a low voice, "Feng Jiu knows him?"

"I assume so!" Guan Xilin answered. He didn't know much about Mo Chen.

"I heard from the headmaster that Feng Jiu is alright. Has she woken up yet?" He looked at the closed door and inquired.

"Shortly after waking up, Ye Jing helped her change clothes and take some medicine."

He nodded. After seeing the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, he said, "Since she's alright, then I go back first. I'll wait for her to return to the cave and then go visit her again."

Guan Xilin made an assenting sound and looked at his departing figure. After, he turned his sight toward Mo Chen who was sitting on the side reading a book. After quite a while, he looked away.

When the room door opened, Ye Jing came out. "Feng Jiu said she would go back to the cave to heal her wounds."

Guan Xilin turned and walked in. "I'll take her back."

At the stone table, Mo Chen's gaze moved, but he did not speak and just sat quietly.

Soon after, Guan Xilin came out with Feng Jiu on her back. She had changed into the academy's uniform. Her face looked even paler, but she was awake.

"Thanks very much."

When she reached the place where Mo Chen was, on Guan Xilin's back, she gave him thanks.

Ye Jing was supporting them and left together with them.

Waiting until after they left, Mo Chen put down the book in his hand and lifted his eyes to watch. He was silent for a long time.

"Is it her? Is she the one you're looking for?"

The headmaster and deputy headmaster came in. Seeing the man sitting by the table staring blankly, they posed the question. Actually, they already knew that the one they were looking for was Feng Jiu.

In the entire academy, only she was so extraordinary and only she could make Young Master Mo Chen who didn't care about anything to make a killing move and stain his hands with blood.

Mo Chen looked at the two men for a long time. "Treat her injury well. I have to go back."

Chapter 757: The Two Trapped Beasts

The Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster were stunned, and the Headmaster said: "Then please pass on my regards to your teacher."

"Okay." He replied, his eyes however were looked towards the sky, like he was deep in thought.

On the other side, Guan Xilin carried Feng Jiu on his back and returned to the cave dwelling. He hadn't noticed that Old White and Cloud Devouring were missing from the entrance. However, Feng Jiu had noticed that.

"Where are Old White and the Cloud Devouring beast? Elder brother, you have to help me search for them later. They better not have gone to the medicine peak to cause trouble while I have been away."

"Okay, I will look for them later on."

After Feng Jiu had opened up the protective enchantment around the cave dwelling, Guan Xilin carried her into her bedroom and instructed Ye Jing to look after her before he left to go in search of Old White and Cloud Devouring.

He had walked around the surrounding area but saw no sign of Old White and Cloud Devouring. Finally, he went back to the Mystical Division to ask about them.

"What? You're looking for that weird horse and meatball? They went out ages ago. I think they left before the Headmaster did to go to save Feng Jiu. However, they've not returned."

One of the students had spoken He paused and asked in curiosity: "So who was it who wanted to kill Feng Jiu? How come the Headmaster and various teachers went to her rescue? You should know what happened since you went to watch right?"

Guan Xilin ignored his question and asked in shock: "Went out? Out of the academy?" Before the student had a chance to reply, he went straight to the entrance to find out more.

"Oh, the weird horse and meatball? Yes, they have gone out. They left from the side entrance of the Spirit Division. They left so fast we didn't even have a chance to stop them. They have been gone for a long time. Even the Headmaster and everyone else is back, but the two beasts are still not back yet."

When he heard what the porter had to say, Guan Xilin said: "I will go out to look for them."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't leave! A student cannot leave the academy without prior permission. That's the rules." The porter tried to stop him: "Even though the horse is weird, but it is a spirit beast after all, it will know its way, don't worry."

Seeing that he was stopped from leaving, Guan Xilin had turned around to go to the main peak to look for the Headmaster to inform him on what had happened and ask for permission to leave the academy to look for Old White and Cloud Devouring.

"Spirit beasts know the roads. Tell you what, if they are still not back by the morning, I will allow you to go out to look for them. You have been injured today, you should rest. Who knows, the two beasts might come back a little later."

The Deputy Headmaster said: "Don't worry, I will let the porters know so that they won't stop the two beasts from entering the academy."

Guan Xilin finally nodded and replied: "Okay, I will return to the cave dwelling and let Feng Jiu know so that she won't be worried."

"Yes, go. I have sent some medicinal congee over, remind her to eat it."

"Thank you Deputy Headmaster." He bowed and took his leave.

At the same time, not far from the academy, in the forest, Old White and Cloud Devouring had walked into a formation and were trapped inside. They had walked for hours and were unable to leave the formation. This made the two beasts who were worried about Feng Jiu become violently angry.

"You said you knew the way. Now look, we have walked into this stupid formation and we can't make our way out of it. When we finally get out, Mistress might already be dead." Cloud Devouring had directed all his anger within the formation towards Old White.

Old White snorted two puffs of breath through his nose and replied angrily: "How was I to know that this place would have a formation trap? If I had known I would have gone another way."

Chapter 758: Help!

Old White trotted around in a circle and said: "What shall we do? We have been stuck in this formation for a long time. Mistress won't really be dead right?"

"Hmph, you're finally worried now?"

Cloud Devouring snorted loudly and lay on his back as he thought, then replied: "I have a contract with Mistress, so if Mistress' life was in danger, I would be able to sense it. I haven't sensed anything, so her life shouldn't be in any danger."

"And besides, Mistress has a life contract beast, that is an ancient spirit beast, so it should be able to protect Mistress. We rushed out too hastily, we should have asked first."

"What shall we do now? Wait for someone to rescue us? No one walks this way." Old White kicked his hoof as he spoke.

"This is a formation we are trapped in. If it was an enchantment, the both of us could have possibly broken out of it. If we are to break out of the formation, we have to find the source. But I am not familiar with formations, so I don't know what to do."

"So we wait?"

"Wait!"

"Shall we shout for help?" Old White suggested as he thought they should learn from the humans.

"If you want to do such a shameful thing, you go ahead." Cloud Devouring swallowed and turned his head to one side.

"It's shameful if we lose our lives."

Old White snorted then turned around and began to shout: "Help! Help! Is anyone there? Quick come and help us..."

Early the next morning, when the two beasts still had not returned, Guan Xilin and Ye Jing left the academy with ten students and went into the city to ask if anyone had seen the two beasts.

However, by the time they had returned at noon, they still hadn't found them. Guan Xilin muttered in a low voice: "No one in the city have seen them, could it be that they never went into the city?"

"They did leave the academy, could it be..."

Ye Jing looked at the forest next to the academy thoughtfully: "The forest up ahead has many formation traps, could they be trapped inside one?"

"Let's go and take a look."

"There are many formation traps in the forest, we have to be careful not to walk into one when we go in to look for them." Ye Jing reminded him.

"Yeah." Guan Xilin acknowledged and split up from her to begin the search. He shouted: "Old White, Cloud Devouring...."

The two beasts were sprawled on the ground asleep when they heard the shouts. They had then jumped up in excitement in an instant.

"It's the beauty Ye Jing." Old White's eyes sparkled as he said in surprise.

"I think there is also Mistress' elder brother." Cloud Devouring said.

"They must have come to look for us." Old White spun around in excitement and shouted out: "We are here! We are here! Beauty Ye Jing, we are here!"

Ye Jing who had brought ten students into the forest with her for the search heard the loud, excited, hoarse voice and asked the students next to her: "Did you hear any noises? Why did I hear someone shouting for me?"

"Could it be a student who walked into a formation by accident?"

A student replied, not realising that it would be the two beasts. After all, if a beast hadn't reached the spirit level, it could not speak like humans. Old White was just a weird horse, and that weird ball was just a pet, no one would think it was them.

"No matter what, we should go and take a look." Ye Jing followed the sound, and as they came nearer, the shouts became clearer.

"Beauty Ye Jing, beauty Ye Jing, help, help, beauty Ye Jing!"

"Can you stop shouting? It's so noisy."

Chapter 759: Quarrel

"If I don't shout, how can beauty Ye Jing hear me?" Old White said grumpily as he glared at the Cloud Devouring Beast.

"They're already here and you're still shouting. Even if you don't find it shameful, I do!"

"You're just a little meatball, why do you find it shameful?"

"What little meatball? Do you want to fight?"

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

Ye Jing and the ten students were dumbfounded. When they opened up the formation, they saw the weird horse and the pet arguing....

They hadn't misheard and had witnessed it, they were quarrelling with each other, no one else was there.

They didn't know that a beast that wasn't spirit beast could speak, but it wasn't just one, it was two of them. What was going on? Don't tell them that this pervish weird horse was a spirit beast. There was no way that was possible.

And don't tell them that the little meatball was a spirit beast either. It was just a pet, how could it speak?

Old White was glaring at Cloud Devouring as they argued. All of a sudden, he quietened down and when he saw that Cloud Devouring stared past him. Seeing this, Old White had also turned his head to look. When he saw Ye Jing, his eyes lit up.

"Beauty Ye Jing, you have finally come to save me."

It ran straight to her after he shouted in excitement. Ye Jing put out her hands in shock to hold the horse's face and asked: "Old, Old White, how can you speak?"

She had been to the cave dwelling many times, but had never heard Old White speak!

Old White was shocked and remembered his Mistress warning and pursed his lips as he replied: "I ate something by accident and now I can speak."

Oh dear, would Mistress really stop him from talking forever?

When he thought of that, the joy of being rescued disappeared. He came to Ye Jing's side and nudged her gently as he said: "Beauty Ye Jing, my Mistress won't let me speak and even used a cloth to bind my mouth because she was afraid that I would scare people. Now that you've seen me talking, can you plead for mercy on my behalf with my Mistress? Oh yes, is my Mistress okay?"

Ye Jing stared at Old White with indifference, although she was very surprised deep down, and said: "Don't worry, she is okay. She's sustained some injuries and is recuperating in her cave dwelling. When she noticed that you both were missing she sent us to look for you."

"Injured? Then we better get back now." Old White said anxiously: "No injuries on her face though?"

Everyone present couldn't believe that the horse was actually worried about its Mistress' injuries and also worried about its Mistress injuring his face.

Ye Jing smiled: " You'll find out when you get back." She then turned to the students behind her and said: "Go let them know that we have found them."

"Okay." A student answered and informed Guan Xilin's search party. They headed back towards the academy.

Chapter 760: Charm Not As Great As Mine

Because he knew that he was not welcome, even if he had gone to visit her, he would not be able to see her.

These past few days, Old White was having the time of his life as he took advantage of all the female students who had come to visit. That mouth of his, when he opened it, he said the most inappropriate things, but it amused the female students so much that they weren't offended.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, it was just a beast, just a horse, it meant nothing.

After a few days of recuperation, coupled with her own medicine, Feng Jiu's injuries were gradually getting better.

On this day, she was dressed in the Alchemy Division's green robes as she went out of the cave dwelling and heard Old White praising the few female students from the Spirit Academy flirtatiously. She hadn't walked over and just smiled as she leaned against the dwelling's entrance gate.

"Senior Sister Chen, you are even more beautiful than yesterday."

"Senior Sister Wang, you are looking in better spirits than you were yesterday, your skin is so tender that you could even squeeze water out of it."

"Senior Sister Lee, the fragrance on your body smells lovely. A woman's fragrance, it smells so good."

When they heard Old White's words, the female students chuckled: "Old White, why are you so perverted? Even a playboy can't compete with that mouth of yours."

"That's right, if you wanted to, you could even coax the bird down from the tree."

"Did you learn this from your Master? The number one beauty in our academy Ye Jing is very close to your Master. Many people in the academy want to go out with Ye Jing but she isn't interested. She only has eyes for your Master."

"Of course not, this is a natural born talent."Old White grinned: " And besides, my Master is so handsome, it is Ye Jing who has good taste."

The female students covered their mouths and chuckled.

Cloud Devouring who was sprawled on the ground glanced at Old White and looked away. Because he didn't like being touched, he had scared away anyone who tried to touch him. But that Old White, was so shameless taking advantage of the female students.

When he turned his head, he saw his Master by the entrance gate. He got up immediately and went over to her.

Seeing that, Old White and the few female students turned to look. When they saw Feng Jiu, they stood up in embarrassment.

"Feng Jiu, are you feeling better today?"

"You are out of bed and walking, you must be feeling better?"

Feng Jiu nodded and smiled as she replied: "I have beauties visiting me everyday, it's hard to not get well!" She laughed and walked towards the stone table to sit down. She smiled at the few female students and said: "Shall we have a chat?"

The few of them were embarrassed by her stare and smile: "No, no, it's okay. We have been here for quite a while. It's time we left. Next time! We will come and visit you again."

"Okay, Old White, see the few beautiful Senior Sisters out." She looked at Old White.

"Leave it to me!" Old White smiled and went to one of the Senior Sisters: "Senior Sister Chen, do you need me to help you out?"

"No need, no need, we can leave by ourselves." Their faces had turned red as they left quickly.

Seeing that he didn't need to see them out, Old White walked back over to Feng Jiu's side and said: "Master, your charm is not as great as mine, look, you scared everyone away the moment you came out."
