Chapter 1402

Smoke Like Fire

Squeak!

The sharp screeching sound pierced through metal and cracked rocks as it shot straight into the clouds. It shook the eardrums of many Inner Academy disciples to the point that their eardrums hurt, while their eyes revealed a shocked expression.

The phoenix shadow was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the huge shadow that was originally in the sky had already arrived above Capital Sky Peak.

Then, the disciples of the Inner Court saw over a dozen figures standing quietly on the phoenix's back. The one leading them was an old man in a fiery-red robe.

Blazing flames burned in the old man's eyes, and terrifying laws of fire intertwined around his body.

It was worth noting that the laws of fire on the old man's body were much stronger than Shao Yu's.

If the two of them were to fight, Shao Yu would not be able to withstand a single blow from the old man.

Yan Ji's gaze fell on the old man, and he frowned slightly. He could not help but say, "Elder Reiwa, I didn't expect Zou Tianzong to send you to welcome Junior Nephew Chen Xue."

Elder Reiwa narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Ji. His expression became serious as he frowned. "Yan Ji, I didn't expect you to break through before me. The Eastern Lands has finally produced a second Heavenly Saint powerhouse."

"I was just lucky. I've only just entered the Sky Yin Saint Realm," Yan Ji said with a faint smile.

Perhaps because he discovered that Yan Ji was a Heavenly Saint, Elder Reiwa's expression became much more serious. A Heavenly Saint was much stronger than a Profound Saint.

Elder Reiwa waved his hand and said, "Brother Yan is too humble. In the entire Heavenly Armor Continent, other than the Central Lands, there are billions of beings in the other four plates. But the number of Heavenly Saints that can be born can be counted on one hand."

"Brother Yan, since you're able to become a Heavenly Saint, even if it's just the Sky Yin Saint Realm, you're already standing at the peak of the Eastern Lands. At the very least, I have to look up to Reiwa," Elder Reiwa said politely.

"Brother Reiwa, you're too polite. You've already reached the Fragmentary Saint Realm of the Five Profound Saints and are only a step away from becoming a Heavenly Saint. I'm afraid that you'll be able to break through to the Heavenly Saint Realm in the future," Yan Ji said with a smile.

Reiwa shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Brother Yan, you're worrying too much. I've already lived for thousands of years, and I've been stuck in the Fragmentary Saint Realm for nearly a thousand years. my chances of breaking through...."

Yan Ji did not answer. He knew that martial artists who could cultivate to the Pilgrimage Realm were all prodigies blessed by the heavens.

However, the Pilgrimage Realm was as deep as the ocean. Even if it was just a minor realm in the Pilgrimage Realm, the difficulty of advancing was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Yan Ji had stayed in the Profound Sage Realm for a thousand years before he managed to break through and become a Heavenly Sage by chance.

One had to know that the lifespan of a Saint was extremely long, at least hundreds of thousands of years. To be able to become a Saint within a thousand years was already considered a genius, and to be able to become a Saint within a hundred years was already considered a monster.

Of course, monstrous geniuses were rare. At least in a place like the Eastern Lands, such a monstrous genius had never appeared before.

Beside Elder Reiwa, a young man in red clothes with a flame pattern on his forehead stepped out and landed on Sky Capital Peak. With a smile on his face, he walked towards Mu Chenxue step by step.

"He is?" Yan Ji's eyes fell on the young man and asked curiously.

"Haha, he's the Holy Son of my Burning Heaven Sect, Yan Ruhuo. He came with me this time to welcome Saintess Mu Chenxue back to the sect," Elder Reiwa said with a smile.

"Holy Son?"

Yan Ji narrowed his eyes. Yan Ruhuo's aura was very powerful and terrifying. He was probably comparable to Qing Longzi of the Blue Dragon Hall. He even faintly felt that Yan Ruhuo was hiding his true strength.

"Chen Xue, how have you been in the Eastern Land for the past five years?

I heard that you found someone you like here? "Yan Ruhuo came in front of Mu Chenxue and asked with a smile.

Mu Chenxue frowned and said indifferently, "This has nothing to do with you. Who did you hear it from?"

Yan Ruhuo smiled evilly and said, "Elder Qiu. Who else could it be?"

Mu Chenxue's pupils shrank and her face changed. "Elder Qiu?

What did you do to him? "

Mu Chenxue knew Elder Qiu's character very well. He was absolutely loyal to her and would never tell Yan Ruhuo about this. Combined with Yan Ruhuo's usual style, she was afraid that the latter had used some kind of torture to force Elder Qiu.

"What else can I do? I just looked at the old man's memories. Oh, I heard that the person you like is called Zhuowen, right? I heard that he also came to Jia Shen Academy. Where is he?

Let me take a look. "Yan Ruhuo said without any care.

Mu Chenxue's face turned dark. Yan Ruhuo's words were very calm, but she knew that with the latter's methods, Yan Ruhuo must have searched Elder Qiu's soul.

The side effect of searching his soul was very large. If she wasn't careful, Elder Qiu might … …

"Oh, that's right. Elder Qiu has gone crazy. When I searched his soul, I wasn't paying attention and destroyed his Sea of Consciousness." Yan Ruhuo suddenly said with a teasing smile.

"Bastard!"

Mu Chenxue's body trembled. She gave a delicate roar and flames burst out from her body. Her jade like hand reached out and attacked Yan Ruhuo.

Yan Ruhuo's smile became even wider. Her right hand reached out and grabbed Mu Chenxue's right hand. She said with a smile, "Chen Xue, why are you so angry?

You're just a useless servant. "

"You bastard, you'll die a horrible death."

Mu Chenxue's beautiful eyes were filled with mist. Elder Qiu had followed her for a long time and had a very good relationship with her. Ever since she joined the Fine Theology Institute, Elder Qiu had been reporting to the Burning Heaven Sect.

She never thought that Yan Ruhuo would search his soul and destroy his Sea of Consciousness, turning him into an idiot.

Mu Chenxue was very clear that with Yan Ruhuo's cultivation, there shouldn't be any mistakes in searching his soul. However, Elder Qiu's Sea of Consciousness had been destroyed. It was obvious that Yan Ruhuo had done it deliberately.

Boom!

A sonic boom suddenly came from behind Yan Ruhuo. A terrifying temperature rose, causing Yan Ruhuo to frown. Her empty left hand suddenly smashed behind her.

Boom!

An ear-piercing explosion resounded. The two powers of law collided and swept up a violent hurricane.

Yan Ruhuo was as still as a mountain, but the figure behind her groaned and retreated several steps.

"What is the meaning of this?

Sneak attacking me. "

Yan Ruhuo tilted her head and stared at Shao Yu behind her. Her voice was cold.

Shao Yu's face was a little ugly. Yan Ruhuo was actually this strong, forcing him back in a single move. This made him both shocked and angry.

"Chen Xue is still a disciple of our institute. Aren't you a little too arrogant to act so recklessly in our Fine Theology Institute?" Shao Yu took a deep breath and coldly said.

"Ha, ha, you're saying that I'm acting recklessly? Chen Xue is our Burning Heaven Sect's Saintess. She only came to your institute to train. You really think that she's a disciple of your institute. What a joke." Yan Ruhuo sneered.

"Ruhuo, let Chen Xue go!" Elder Reiwa finally opened her mouth and calmly said.

Yan Ruhuo's face froze. She nodded and released Mu Chenxue, saying, "Chen Xue, your cultivation progress is very slow. You're only in the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm and you haven't comprehended the power of law. Fine Theology Institute isn't that great. Returning to the Burning Heaven Sect is a wise choice."

"I don't need you to care about my matters."

Mu Chenxue coldly glanced at Yan Ruhuo, then walked over to old man Tian Du, Yang Yi, Jian Mu, and Feng Nianlan.

"Master, senior brother Yang Yi, senior brother Jian Mu, and senior sister Feng Nianlan, thank you for taking care of me these past few years. Chen Xue will be leaving today."

After saying this, Mu Chenxue bowed, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude.

"Junior sister Chen Xue, be careful. You can always contact me when you return to the Burning Heaven Sect." Feng Nianlan stepped forward and held Mu Chenxue's hands as she said this.

Old man Tian Du softly sighed, "Chen Xue, master is not talented and can't teach you too much. I hope that after you return to the Burning Heaven Sect, you can rise step by step."

"Master, there's no need to belittle yourself. The days in Sky Capital Peak are very free and very happy. I like it very much." Mu Chenxue said with a smile.

Yang Yi leaned against the stone pillar and looked at Mu Chenxue. His eyes sparkled and he rarely said, "Junior sister Chen Xue, take care!"

Jian Mu, on the other hand, was like a sharp sword as he stood where he was. Ruthlessness lingered in his eyes as he quietly stared at Mu Chen Xue without saying a word.

"Goodbye!"

Mu Chenxue revealed a sweet smile. Her eyes looked through the void and fell onto the Floating Snow Pavilion. Inside, there were the people she cared about, the people she loved.

"Goodbye!"

Mu Chen Xue softly muttered as she reluctantly withdrew her gaze. With a kick of her jade-like feet, she leapt onto the back of the phoenix silhouette.

"Young miss Chen Xue, the sect master has been waiting for you in the sect for a long time. Now that you can return to the sect, I'm afraid the sect master will be very happy." Elder Reiwa said to Mu Chenxue with a smile.

Mu Chenxue expressionlessly nodded, not saying a word.

Yan Ruhuo also jumped up and landed on the phoenix phantom not far away from Mu Chenxue.

"Brother Yan, if we have the chance to meet again in the future, let's drink and chat." Elder Reiwa cupped his hands towards Yan Ji and said with a smile.

"Brother Reiwa is too courteous. If possible, we will drink to our heart's content." Yan Ji said with a laugh.

"Let's go!"

Elder Reiwa cupped his hands and gave a sharp cry. The phoenix phantom under his feet released a sea of flames as it flew into the sky.

Watching the phoenix phantom gradually disappear into the distance, Shao Yu's eyes darkened. He said to Yan Ji, "Martial uncle Yan Ji, what should we do when Zhuowen realizes what happened?"

Yan Ji was stunned. Soon after, he said with a soft sigh, "That's why that girl Chen Xue hid it from that brat Zhuowen and left by herself. Otherwise, with that brat Zhuowen's personality, who knows what he would do. That would be truly troublesome."

Rumble!

Just as Yan Ji's voice fell, a shocking explosion rang out. Capital Sky Peak's Floating Snow Pavilion actually collapsed and a figure suddenly flew out.

"Chen Xue!"

A distant and mournful voice rang out from within the Floating Snow Pavilion. Soon after, a pair of ten foot large purple lightning wings appeared on the figure's back. It turned into lightning and chased after the phoenix phantom in the distance.

Just now, if it was not for Xiao Hei and Cheng Huang, Zhuowen might still be in a deep sleep.

After waking up, the first thing Zhuowen did was to check the lights in the room. He discovered that there was actually a sleeping incense inside and it was an extremely powerful sleeping incense.

At the same time, he also discovered that Mu Chenxue was not in the room. Combined with Mu Chenxue's strange actions from before, he knew that Mu Chenxue was definitely hiding something from him.
