The Forbidden Art… Fairy Wuyou gritted her teeth!
She knew that the Third Elder had the Forbidden Art in his arsenal: it was an art that allowed a person to improve their strength significantly. Although there were after-effects, how could she fear them in the face of death?
Thinking of this, Fairy Wuyou resolved to learn the Forbidden Art to quickly raise her strength.
Su Luo did not know that the enemy she would face in the battle to the death in half a year’s time would gain a significant increase of strength. If she did, she would be feeling a great deal of pressure right now.As for the Eighth Elder, he had naturally picked Su Luo. So, a team of two elders and five students was formed.
The leaders of the team were the Seventh Elder and the Eighth Elder.
The students were Zhang Wang, Li Luoming, Ouyang Xie, Fairy Bingqing, and Su Luo.
Everyone arranged to gather at the Fourth Elder’s place on the morning of the day of departure.
The Fourth Elder pulled aside Zhang Wang before everyone arrived. He looked at the latter solemnly and instructed word by word, "You must remember: it doesn't matter who dies, but you must not let it be Su Luo."
Zhang Wang: "Su Luo? Never heard of her.”
The Fourth Elder took a deep breath: "You came from the extra-territorial battlefield, so it is understandable that you are in the dark about the past six months. But since this is urgent, there is not much time for the details. You just need to remember that even if it costs your life, Su Luo cannot die. Understood?"The Fourth Elder's expression was dead serious—something Zhang Wang had not seen from his master for a long time.
How could the Fourth Elder not take this matter seriously? The thought of those senior Elders having to call Su Luo ‘Granduncle’ made his foot tremble.
Of course, he could tell Zhang Wang that his master was going to have to call her ‘Granduncle’ too.
However, afraid of scaring Zhang Wang out of his wits, the Fourth Elder bit his tongue and suppressed this urge. He ordered his disciple yet again, "Just make sure you remember. If something happens to Su Luo, the entire Purgatory City may be destroyed. This is all you need to know.”
Zhang Wang's eyes snapped wide open! ‘That serious?’
"The Great Pool of a Hundred Rivers is extremely dangerous, and the Bai Ze Ruins are even more so. This disciple can protect himself, but I may not be able to protect her. If she is really as important as what Master says, Isn’t it better for her to not go at all?" Zhang Wang suggested.
The Fourth Elder took a deep breath and sighed, "If she doesn't go, how will you find the Bai Ze Ruins? Even if you find the Bai Ze Ruins, how will you possibly enter?"
Zhang Wang looked puzzled.
"She is the key to entering the Bai Ze Ruins. Do you understand now?" The Fourth Elder said solemnly.
If he could, he would have liked to guard Su Luo himself. But as the date of the hundred-year recurring formation was approaching, he couldn’t afford to leave and go with them.
The Fourth Elder knew that Su Luo, as the key, would need to be protected before the gates of the Bai Ze Ruins were opened. Even if there was no more use for her after that, he was afraid that something would happen to her. This was why he cautioned Zhang Wang so gravely.
"Since Master has ordered, this disciple will obey!" Zhang Wang promised firmly.
Only then did the Fourth Elder feel slightly relieved.
Of course, just in case, the Fourth Elder had other arrangements that would not be disclosed to Zhang Wang.
At this time, the others joined them.
Zhang Wang raised his eyes to look up at the two elders leading the four disciples over.
He was naturally familiar with two elders and had seen three of the four disciples before. However, this was the first time he had seen the girl tailing them.
