Chapter 292: Chapter 60: Proceeding

Inside the Nine Emperor Space.

Lin Yuan held his breath, watching the nine vine leaves, hoping to see the sprout that represented great expectations.

One breath, two breaths.

Inside the Nine Emperor Space, there was silence.

After waiting for a full thirty breaths, the vine leaves remained motionless.

Lin Yuan’s expression slightly darkened.

"Was my earlier conjecture all false?"

The lack of response from the nine Chapters left him very disappointed.

"Perhaps the level of a dragon like this is just too high, far beyond the level of the Canglan Realm."

Lin Yuan squinted his eyes, continuously contemplating.

The Candle Dragon opens its eyes for day, closes its eyes for night. With each breath, it can determine the changes of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Almost the top combat power at the same level as the Yinglong.

This level is too far from my current self.

Lin Yuan slightly shook his head, once again looking at the dragon soul in his spirit with 120 stars lit: "Maybe it’s because my current level is too, too low."

"Even the orifices have only gathered over twenty."

"Perhaps after I gather 360 orifices, I will be able to attempt deducing the Sky Candle Dragon Brilliance Scripture again!"

Lin Yuan readjusted his mindset, looking at the black dragon in front of him, his eyes still filled with joy: "Although I can’t deduce the Sky Candle Dragon Brilliance Scripture, I can still borrow the aperture structure of the Jiao dragon spirit to incorporate parts of the Jiao dragon’s power when my own spirit transforms."

"Then start with the dragon claw."

For a moment, the room fell into silence again.

Only Lin Yuan’s continuous body evolution brought a gusting wind sound within the quiet chamber.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this morning, Qi Yu knocked on Lin Yuan’s door.

"Senior sister, are you leaving?"

Lin Yuan asked softly, smelling Qi Yu’s unique cool fragrance.

However, Qi Yu nodded and then shook her head: "Indeed I’m leaving, but you also have to come with me."

"Why?"

Lin Yuan had a vague suspicion.

I thought I could cultivate quietly for a while. The three demon sects must have taken some action; otherwise, Qi Yu wouldn’t let him act with her.

But that’s good, too. Killing the demon sect disciples might give us a chance to get the third and fourth divine diagrams.

Danger and opportunity coexist. Perhaps once I go, there will never be another chance to cultivate so peacefully.

"I just received a secret order from the academy to have all the guards immediately head to Changle Village. The three major demon sects have officially gone to war with the three sects of the Fire Crow Sect. Our Baiyan City is right on the front line." Qi Yu took a deep breath, and her voice contained some tension.

Facing a battle of this level like the Fire Crow Sect, although they were geniuses in Baiyan City, in the Fire Crow Sect, they were considered the lowest-ranked disciples.

A single misstep, and they could easily lose their lives in this calamity.

"I understand."

Lin Yuan nodded, his pitch-black eyes looking at the woman in front of him with extreme calmness.

For countless people, this battle was a bloodbath, but having reached this point, fear would only quicken their end.

Only by forging ahead boldly could they seize a sliver of life.

Qi Yu looked at Lin Yuan’s calm face, his eyes incredibly profound. Unknowingly, his composed demeanor influenced her, gradually calming her racing heart.

Qi Yu didn’t realize that, unconsciously, Lin Yuan’s calm shadow had already left a trace in her heart.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan spoke again: "Senior sister, let me make some arrangements first."

Qi Yu was only awakened by Lin Yuan’s voice at this moment, softly acknowledging it.

After Lin Yuan’s figure disappeared from sight, she reacted, "What was I just thinking?"

Before long, two quite ordinary carriages departed quietly from the Black Dragon Lagoon’s government office.

*************

Five days later.

Changle Village, the entire city had undergone a significant transformation.

The roads that once allowed four carriages to run abreast were changed to eight lanes. On the wide roads, countless carriages and horses, like ants moving a house, continuously transported various supplies.

Grains, oils, salts, iron, and medicines—countless martial artists and commoners at the bottom, supervised by high-level martial artists, were preparing for war.

Lin Yuan lifted the curtain and swept over the scene outside, his heart sighing: "This battle is truly a catastrophe for the lower-class people."

But right now, he could hardly protect himself and could do nothing about what these people were going through.

Letting down the curtain, Lin Yuan’s mood grew much heavier.

Changle Village, the academy.

The massive academy had been divided into four major areas, respectively accommodating the residences of the three major martial academies of Baiyan City and the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lin Yuan and Qi Yu presented their identities and discreetly entered the academy.

Not far along, the two of them dismounted from the carriage.

With the situation tense now, all task assignments were posted in the service hall. As one of the core guards, Qi Yu needed to collect the mission token here.

As they turned the corner, they saw a scene that made them frown immediately.

In front of them, six people were in confrontation.

The one at the forefront was dressed in blue brocade, a dark sea-blue belt tied at his waist, his hair flowing, eyes bright, with an ethereal presence.

He held a withered wood staff, pointing at the tense young man in black on the opposite side: "You are Lan Shengyu from the Xuri Martial Academy?"

"Is it Bo Feng?"

Qi Yu turned her head and recognized the man opposite.

"What is going on here?"

Lin Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Ranked sixth in Qingmu Martial Academy. If I haven’t broken through to the third realm, I’m not his match." Qi Yu’s face showed solemnity.

Lin Yuan nodded silently.

The young man in black was very tense under Bo Feng’s questioning: "Yes, it’s me."

"Then there’s no mistake." Bo Feng raised his eyebrows and said sternly, "You provided false information, causing my junior to suffer severe injuries and now bedridden for three months. This loss needs to be compensated by you!"

The young man in black, upon hearing this, was furious: "He acted on his own, startling the other side, and even ruined our mission. Why should we compensate?"

"Hmph! Still daring to argue, if you don’t give an explanation today, we’ll make you bedridden for three months too!" a man behind Bo Feng shouted, glaring.

"You!" The young man in black’s face turned liver-colored in anger.

But the elemental energy from Bo Feng had already locked onto him; any sudden movement would definitely be met with the other’s thunderous means.

Just as he was at an impasse, a clear voice rang out: "Bo Feng, is this the conduct of your Qingmu Martial Academy? Are you trying to bully us as if Xuri Martial Academy has no one?"

The words had just fallen when a robust figure landed in front of the black-clad disciple.

That robust figure had towering muscles and distinct facial lines, similar to a bodybuilder, giving a feeling of the agility of a tiger and leopard.

Qi Yu also stepped forward, her cold gaze landing on Bo Feng: "Wei Junli speaks the truth. If a disciple of our Xuri Martial Academy makes a mistake, we will naturally discipline them. There is no need for Qingmu Martial Academy to interfere!"

Bo Feng swiftly scanned the two, feeling two auras not beneath his own, realizing he would have to give up his intent to avenge his junior today.

But he couldn’t let the situation go unnoticed, so he snorted coldly through his nose.

Neither Wei Junli nor Qi Yu spoke, only the elemental energy on their bodies surged, continuously opposing Bo Feng.

After holding on for a while, Bo Feng glared at the two before finally giving up: "Let’s go!"

Before long, the several people from Qingmu Martial Academy left. Meanwhile, the young man in black was exceptionally grateful for Wei Junli and Qi Yu’s assistance.

However, for Wei Junli and Qi Yu, it was just a simple effort, and they didn’t say much, sending him on his way.

But Wei Junli noticed the Lin Yuan beside Qi Yu, paused for a moment, and then smiled: "Junior Brother Lin Yuan?"
