"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, four chains shot out from the darkness, each binding Long Chen's hands and feet.
"Buzz!"
Bai Shishi, Qin Feng, and the others were enveloped in divine light, and the Courtyard Guardian Divine Stone slipped out of Long Chen's hand and came into Qin Feng's grasp.
"Boss..."
Qin Feng was shocked, his expression changing instantly.
"I order you to protect the Courtyard Guardian Divine Stone." Long Chen shouted.
"Rumble..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the four chains instantly snapped straight, dragging Long Chen toward another part of the passage.
A divine ring swirled behind Long Chen, the divine diagram trembled, shaking the entire passage with a roaring sound. Countless cracks appeared above the passage. Long Chen fought back with all his might, the immense force resisting, and runes on the chains fell off.
"Quick, use the power of the Courtyard Guardian Divine Stone! Long Chen is about to succeed, just a little bit short." Seeing this, Bai Shishi hurriedly said.
But Qin Feng held the courtyard guardian divine stone, shook his head, and gritted his teeth, saying, "These are all traps." "
What trap? Hurry and save Long Chen!"
They were enveloped in divine light, blocking the entire passage's power. Bai Shishi cried out anxiously, her voice tinged with anger. If she waited any longer, Long Chen would really be dragged inside.
Qin Feng shouted loudly, "The boss handed me the Guardian Courtyard Divine Stone but didn't give it to you because he didn't want you to fall into Empuda's trap."
The boss must have realized that this passage was targeting him alone, which is why he separated the Guardian Courtyard Divine Stone from us, so the Seventh Academy can be preserved. "
But Long Chen... Bai
Shishi watched as Long Chen's limbs were bound by chains. Struggling desperately, the chains sank into his flesh, blood dripping down, and her heart ached immensely.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth as well. He understood Long Chen's meaning and knew that at this moment, he had to remain absolutely calm.
Empuda had Long Chen struggle, but in reality, it was for them to see. Empuda's goal wasn't just Long Chen, but also to destroy the Seventh Academy.
As long as the Guardian Institute's Divine Stone remained, Empuda was unwilling to give up. He was deliberately giving everyone hope, hoping they would risk using the Guardian Divine Stone to save Long Chen. If they made a move, they would be completely fooled.
Although Bai Shishi was usually cold and aloof, she was a person of passion. In a moment of urgency, she couldn't stay calm, which is why Long Chen handed the courtyard guardian divine stone to Qin Feng.
Now, he was the one suffering the most. Without Long Chen's orders, he could do nothing and could only watch helplessly as Long Chen was dragged farther and farther away from them.
"Kid, ruthless enough. If I can't destroy the Seventh Academy, then I'll destroy you as well."
Empuda's face darkened; his plan had been seen through by Long Chen. The plan of killing two birds with one stone seemed impossible to accomplish.
This passage was a cross-heaven passage that could only lock onto one person. Long Chen saw through his intentions. He knew that using this opportunity to destroy the Seventh Academy was impossible. If this dragged on, if something went wrong, it would be a waste of effort.
"Rumble rumble...
Suddenly, the passage roared and exploded. Black energy swirled around the four chains, power surged, and Long Chen was instantly dragged deep into the passage.
"Long Chen..."
"Boss..."
Bai Shishi, Qin Feng, and the others were furious. Were they just going to watch Long Chen die without a second thought?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the spatial passage exploded. Long Chen had already given up struggling, thinking about how to harness the power of the Chaos Pearl against him after meeting Empuda. While he was pondering, a chain on his body shattered.
Long Chen felt as if he were inside a time-space tunnel—Empuda in front, Bai Shishi and the others behind, both separated by such distance.
Bai Shishi and the others cheered, thinking Long Chen had found some way to break a chain, but they didn't know Long Chen had done nothing.
Long Chen looked at Enpuda, whose chubby face was also full of shock, as if he had no idea what had happened.
"Boom!"
Another explosion sounded. The chains on Long Chen's right hand shattered once more, causing the entire spatial passage to tremble. Long Chen looked at Empuda but saw that Empuda was no longer at the end of the spatial passage. Behind him, the spatial passage was still extending. At the end of the passage, Long Chen saw a sleazy figure and nearly cried out.
It was a figure wearing a helmet resembling a black pot bottom, holding a shovel about three feet long, seemingly digging something, peeking into the passage.
"Mo Nian"—
Long Chen could hardly believe it. He actually saw Mo Nian, and at this very moment.
Mo Nian looked shocked when she saw Long Chen, rubbed her eyes, and said in disbelief, "
Really?" I opened the coffin and actually saw you. Could it be that I'm possessed?
Hey, are you really Long Chen? How did you turn into a one-eyed dragon? Last
time, Long Chen used the Purgatory Eye. His eye was still being repaired, and he was wearing an eye patch. The spatial passage was too far away, and he couldn't sense the other's aura, so Mo Nian couldn't quite believe it.
"No way, it really is Mo Nian."
Qin Feng and Qi Yu both cried out in alarm. The spatial passage was now divided into four sections. Qin Feng's side was the starting point, originally the end point at Empuda, but now he had become part of the spatial passage. The endpoint was on Mo Nian's side. The passage was straight, allowing both sides to see each other.
Seeing Qin Feng and Qi Yu both call out their names, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief, Mo Nian immediately understood that he was not possessed by evil spirits. Just as he was about to speak, Enpuda angrily said, "
Who are you?" How dare you ruin my good plans? Mo
Nian was furious: "You fat bastard, get lost! I'm talking—do you have the right to butt in?" "
Empuda cursed angrily, "You're the damn fat guy." "
Are you going up with your eyes or butt?" I'm baby fat, not fat, got it? If you've got guts, just state the name of your sect and see if I'll dig up your ancestral graves! Mo Nian immediately fought back; he really hated being called fat.
"You... Are you the newly accepted disciple of that scoundrel Daoist? "Empuda was startled and thought of something.
"Good that you know. If you don't want your ancestors to come out and bask in the sun, then shut up."
After Mo Nian finished speaking, she ignored Empuda and continued shouting at Long Chen, "Long Chen, what's going on with you? How did you end up so miserable? Someone dragged you into a rat's hole. Do you want me to stand up for you?"
Wow, wow, both are ascending, how did you find another pretty girl so quickly? Hey, hey, is there anyone suitable? Can you introduce me too? I've been digging graves all day, cough cough... Archaeology, it's archaeology, it's muddy and dirty, without even a companion, it's so lonely..."
Mo Nian seemed to have been silent for a long time. Once he started speaking, he couldn't hold back. Seeing Bai Shishi, he immediately felt somethingWith such unfair fate, the story goes on endlessly and starts chatting.
Long Chen was so angry he wanted to hit someone. Does this guy have no sense of sense? He shouted, "Cut the chains quickly, save me!" "
Chains?" Where are the chains? I don't have chains here? Mo Nian was taken aback: "I'm opening the coffin, opened two, and then saw you." "
Quick, open the other two coffins as well." Long Chen shouted anxiously.
Mo Nian was startled—Long Chen actually knew he still had two coffins on his side. Without hesitation, he pried open the third coffin with a shovel.
"Boom!"
Sure enough, the third coffin was pried open, and another chain on Long Chen shattered, leaving only the last one trapped on his left foot.
"Courting death!"
Empuda was furious. With Mo Nian's help, the last chain on Long Chen shattered as well. Freed from the chains, Long Chen was about to run back.
"Rumble... The
spatial passage shattered in an instant, and Long Chen was swallowed by endless spatial fragments.
"Long Chen... Bai
Shishi and Mo Nian exclaimed in surprise, but the passage disappeared, and Long Chen vanished as well.
