The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1540

Shangguan Jing's words were harsh and didn't give Yi Wenzhuo face at all. He even did it in front of Elder Bo Yan and the rest, which was akin to directly slapping his face!

Yi Wenzhuo's face turned green. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to take action directly.

"Senior Shangguan is a supreme Armory Refinement Master and had already commanded the God Residence Realm a thousand years ago. His status is distinguished. Wenzhuo, what do you think you're doing? Are you going to take action?" At the side, Elder Meng suddenly spoke.

His tone was light and had a hint of coldness and harshness.

Yi Wenzhuo was instantly stumped. His identity as the academy's vice-director wasn't considered much in front of a supreme Armory Refinement Master!

One had to know that even in the entire God Residence Realm, supreme Armory Refinement Masters were definitely top existences that could rule the area! Compared to legendary warriors and even supreme Physicians of the same level, they had more speaking rights!

Yi Wenzhuo clenched his fists tightly and swallowed this mouthful of saliva with much difficulty.

"Mentor, didn't you previously say that you came back this time to go to Dong Huang Clock Tower to find something?" Jun Jiuqing suddenly spoke and broke the cold atmosphere. "The situation in Million Wine Mountain has basically stabilized. With Elder Meng and the rest around, you don't have to be too worried."

This sentence gave Yi Wenzhuo an out. It explained all his coldness and overboard behavior to be because of his worry for the academy.

Yi Wenzhuo finally stopped himself when he saw that the going was good and grunted coldly. "I hope that this Heaven-Locking Formation can completely solve the problem!"

Then, he whipped his sleeves and rapidly left, rushing toward Dong Huang Clock Tower.

Jun Jiuqing hesitated for a moment and turned around to glance at Million Wine Mountain. Finally, he still caught up.

The duo's figures quickly went far away.

Yi Wenzhuo was the vice-director. Even though the right to manage the academy was in Elder Bo Yan's hands, he still had the right to go to Dong Huang Clock Tower.

"It seems like he accumulated quite a bit of vengeance during the past few years." Elder Meng stared at their backs and knitted his brows.

Elder Hua Feng snorted coldly. "Hasn't he always been like this?"

Thinking about it back then, Yi Wenzhuo was bent on getting the director's position. After confirming that the director position was given to his junior brother, he didn't accept it for a very long time.

From that point on, he already had vengeance in his heart. He hated the previous director—who was also his mentor—and his junior brother, the current academy director.

After the director left and passed the power to Bo Yan a few years ago, his dissatisfaction reached its peak. If not, he wouldn't have left the academy so harshly and not come back for a few years. During this period of time, he didn't even ask about the academy.

Yi Wenzhuo felt that the whole world betrayed him, but he didn't know how to reflect on himself. He never thought about why he wasn't the director and why everyone hated him so much.

"The academy is in so much trouble, and the first person he thought of was himself. Ever since he came back, what has he done for the academy or the students?" Elder Hua Feng had been displeased with him for quite a long time and held it in. However, Yi Wenzhuo's attitude during this incident was indeed very disgusting.

"People who don't know might even think that he came back to watch us be laughingstocks."

"Enough. These aren't important now." Elder Bo Yan seemed to be very open-minded about this. "In the next month, the most important thing is to guard the Heaven-Locking Formation."

The crowd nodded and didn't ask about other things.

"Elder Meng." Shangguan Jing suddenly spoke. "As for the things Yue'er did in the academy before… Could you possibly tell me about it?"

Actually, he could tell that quite a few elders in the academy treated Yue'er well. But considering that Elder Meng had the highest status here and even helped Yue'er guard her God Realm for a few years, it would be most appropriate to ask him about it.

Elder Meng hurriedly waved his hands. "You're too polite; you can just call me Meng Xian. As for that girl… It's really a long story…"

He squinted his eyes as if he were recalling something. "It's actually a coincidence that Girlie came to Ling Xiao Academy at the start…"

…

Million Wine Mountain was covered by the Heaven-Locking Formation. It was very tight and almost impermeable.

From outside, one could only see the mid-mountain that was cut up and the many silver lines floating inside.

In mid-air, there were elders strictly standing guard on all sides.

That terrifying coldness had been completely sealed, and the same terrifying commotion didn't happen again. However, the students all knew that the Heaven-Locking Formation had to be guarded for another month or so. Hence, they didn't dare to let their guards down.

All the students obediently stayed at their own territories; they either rested or cultivated. Not many people even went to Qing Ming Square.

Everything that happened on Million Wine Mountain that day was like a heavy rock that weighed people's hearts down. As long as the Heaven-Locking Formation didn't completely suppress it, they couldn't feel completely secure.

Of course, there were also some people who were more worried about Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue inside.

…

"It has already been three days. The Heaven-Locking Formation is working, and the frost on Million Wine Mountain is decreasing. I don't know when they can come out."

On a mountain peak, the few people from the Luo family gathered together. The person talking was Luo Yanming.

Originally, they planned on cultivating and dueling together, but they didn't have the mood to do it. Thus, they set it aside.

At this point, all their attention was still on Million Wine Mountain.

Zhuo Sheng couldn't help but scratch his head. "This… Rong Xiu and Chu—Shangguan Yue are true gods, and Rong Xiu even has a Holy Body! T-they should be able to come out, right? Besides, doesn't Shangguan Yue have a few trump cards?"

Even though he said this, his tone was filled with uneasiness, and his eyes had unconcealable worry.

The two of them were indeed very strong and had powerful trump cards, but Million Wine Mountain was in big trouble this time, and… It was probably not so easy to deal with it!

"A month later, Million Wine Mountain should be leveled to the ground, right?" Luo Shishi muttered in a daze.

Everyone fell into silence.

If the two of them hadn't come out at that time…

The Heaven-Locking Formation was so scary, and even Shangguan Jing and Elder Meng couldn't deal with it. What could they do?

"Hm? What are those two people doing?" Suddenly, Zhuo Sheng's gaze focused, and he pointed at a certain distraction.

The few of them looked over and saw two people discussing something in the middle of the mountain, and they even gestured from time to time.

They seemed to be discussing something.

"That's …. Lin Zhifei and Mu Hongyu?" Luo Shishi found it strange. "How did the two of them get to know each other?"

"I heard that the Sky-Cloud Empire's princess consort had once saved Lin Zhifei—I think that should be Shangguan Yue. And Mu Hongyu is also her good friend. However, these two people don't know each other, right?"

In comparison, those two people should be part of the group of people most worried about Million Wine Mountain's situation. However, they didn't know what they were doing.

…

In the middle of the opposite mountain, Lin Zhifei looked at Mu Hongyu. "Are you sure this can save them?"
