The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1529

That name seemed to be once forcefully erased, yet today, it gradually appeared in its original manner. The 'Yue' word almost seemed to jump out of the paper and fly out!

Chu Liuyue had already returned to being a true god and summoned her God Realm. Thus, her name would once again appear on this Record of the Million Gods. However, it was still a blurred mess near the position of her surname.

Rong Xiu raised his hand, and a spark of golden fire suddenly ignited on his fingertips!

If one went closer, they would see that the flame was bright and that it would illuminate the name on the paper. If one was even closer, the name would be erased again.

He hesitated for a moment and finally stopped in his movements. Putting away the scroll, he then looked at Million Wine Mountain with a dark gaze. Yue'er, you must stick true to your word now. I will never want and will never allow the same thing to happen the second time!

…

Time trickled by bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, it was already nighttime.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the darkest night was quiet.

The night sky—which was as clear as water—covered everything with a blurred light as if a layer of coldness had been added to it.

From afar, only the outside of Million Wine Mountain was as bright as day! However, everyone was well-aware that the bright light hid great danger!

Outside Million Wine Mountain, the ground to midair was heavily surrounded by academy elders in a stern formation.

Seeing this formation, even if most of the students didn't know what was going on, they knew that the danger this time wasn't low.

The giant Qing Ming Square was completely quiet. The cold atmosphere seemed to be frozen.

Elder Bo Yan looked down once again.

With the golden barrier that Rong Xiu set up, it was very hard for them to see what was going on inside clearly from the outside. But from start to end, even an energy ripple didn't come out from inside. This made the elders even more worried.

"Let the students go back first," said Elder Hua Feng softly. "I don't know how long it will take for Yue'er to come out this time. We can't let everyone continue waiting here."

Not to mention that they couldn't help, it was very easy for people to feel uneasy with so many people gathered together.

Elder Bo Yan thought for a moment and nodded. "Then, let them go back to their own residences first. Also, deploy more elders to guard in secret."

At this time, not a single mistake could be made.

Elder Hua Feng acknowledged the order and quickly went to do it.

In no time, the students respectively went back under the many elders' guidance. Even if some of them wanted to continue staying here, they couldn't fight with the academy, so they still listened to the elders and went back.

"Elder Bo Yan." A low voice filled with worry came from the side.

Elder Bo Yan turned around to look. "Senior Shangguan."

"What's going on with… t-this Million Wine Mountain's fountain?" Shangguan Jing had wanted to ask this question for a very long time.

When he was previously still a soul saved in the sword, he had followed Chu Liuyue to Million Wine Mountain several times. He knew that Million Wine Mountain's fountain contained secrets, and it had large implications. If not, Elder Bo Yan and the others wouldn't be so worried.

After seeing the frost quickly spreading around in the day, he confirmed his guesses.

Yue'er had now been inside for quite some time, yet she didn't make any movements.

Every time he thought of the scene of the frost freezing and the vitality of Million Wine Mountain being extinguished, a chill was sent down his spine.

"This…" Elder Bo Yan was hesitant in his words.

A sentence or two couldn't explain this situation clearly. Besides, there were a lot of internal matters that they weren't completely sure of.

He really didn't know how to explain it to Shangguan Jing, but seeing Shangguan Jing, Elder Bo Yan couldn't bear it. After thinking for a while, he picked a portion and simply explained the matter. "…There aren't many outsiders here now, and you're Yue'er's senior, so we won't hide some things from you. Actually, this Million Wine Mountain already existed when the academy was first established. And starting from then, Million Wine Mountain was a special existence in the academy. The directors and the Armory Refinement elders would take special care of it."

"Needless to say, the director would strengthen the Million Wine Mountain barrier every year. As for the elders, when they refine weapons, as long as the situation allows for it, they would try to guide the lightning to enter the fountain."

Shangguan Jing knitted his brows tightly. "It has always been like this even after so many years?"

Elder Bo Yan nodded. "Quite a few people know about this in the academy."

Shangguan Jing found it even more strange and didn't talk for a while.

He was also an Armory Refinement Master, so he naturally knew how much energy was contained within the lightning triggered by Armory Refinement and how big a commotion it would cause.

Ordinary beginner, intermediate, or even advanced Yuan instruments wouldn't trigger that much lightning when they were being made. But as it accumulated over tens of thousands of years, how many Yuan instruments would these many Armory Refinement Masters produce?

The lightning bolts triggered would be more than they could count, and they actually all landed in that small fountain on Million Wine Mountain!

This wasn't even mentioning that an academy of Ling Xiao Academy's status hid experts. If supreme Armory Refinement Masters or even royal Armory Refinement Masters took action, it would be even scarier!

It was really abnormal that Million Wine Mountain hadn't been reduced to flat ground by now.

How much lightning strength has been accumulated in that fountain, and how did it contain so much terrifying force!? Shangguan Jing didn't dare to think about it.

As if seeing through Shangguan Jing's thoughts, Elder Bo Yan comforted him. "Actually, all these years, nothing much had happened to the fountain. Besides, everyone, including Rong Xiu, is around, so Yue'er girlie would definitely be able to come back safely."

Shangguan Jing knew that he was just comforting himself.

In actual fact, he had also seen how Elder Bo Yan and the others panicked and were shocked when the incident happened.

They didn't want to see such an incident happen. Besides, at the end of the day, that girlie insisted on going down, so I can't blame the others. Shangguan Jing sighed in his heart. The only thing I can do now is wait patiently.

"Oh right, there's one thing…" Shangguan Jing kept silent for a moment as if he were hesitating about whether he should speak.

"Senior Shangguan, if you have something to say, just say it," said Elder Bo Yan.

After a temporary pause, Shangguan Jing then took a deep breath in and stared at him determinedly. "Yue'er… used to be a student in Ling Xiao Academy?"

Elder Bo Yan was stunned. "You don't know about this?"

Shangguan Jing laughed bitterly. "I just woke up from the Flood-Desert Northern Region. How would I know about these things?"

Elder Bo Yan thought about it and agreed. Previously, I still thought that… Yue'er dared to be so unreasonable the whole time because she had Shangguan Jing as her backer. Now, it seems like I've guessed wrongly?

He paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, we're not very sure of this either. When she came to the academy a few years ago, she was also about 17 or 18 years old. Although her appearance was very similar to what she looks like now, it was still a little different in the details."
