However, the figure trailing behind him was even more concealed and skilled, moving faster than he could.
The two moved silently through the river, one in front of the other. Mike Alon had no idea that someone could keep up with him from behind. He considered himself a dragon of the water, unmatched in the world. Therefore, he never thought anyone could catch up to him in the water.
He swam across more than a dozen rivers, and whenever he reached a confluence, he would dart out of one river and plunge into another, continuing eastward.
After nearly twenty hours, he arrived at the bank of a very deep river, at a spot where the shore was quite dry. Mike Alon submerged into the depths once again.
The shadow that had been following Mike Alon also dove into the water after him.
What was unexpected was that this location underwater turned out to be Mike Alon's stronghold. The shadow watched all of Mike Alon's activities beneath the surface.
Mike Alon stayed underwater for two hours before finally surfacing properly and heading towards a majestic large palace located three thousand meters away.
That palace was the headquarters of the Azure Peak Sect.
At this time, at Dragon Lake Academy.
Lu Ziang was arguing with his master.
His master had decided to secretly eliminate Guan Tian, but Lu Ziang disagreed.
"Why are you protecting him? He is now on the verge of becoming an absolute expert. If we don't eliminate him now and he discovers our true plan, it will be too late to regret," his master said seriously.
Lu Ziang still approached his master with a very gentle attitude and said, "Master, you know that when we invited Guan Tian to join our team, it was entirely to make use of his clairvoyance. We didn't tell him too many secrets. He is unaware of our true plans. Now that he is wholeheartedly searching for the Child of Heaven and Earth, it can only benefit us, not harm us at all."
"Do you think he would hand over the Child of Heaven and Earth if he finds it? That's too naive. I believe he absolutely won't give it up," the master insisted.
Lu Ziang smiled, "His search for the Child of Heaven and Earth is also a form of power. If he finds a few of them, wouldn't that be serving us? It would be more convenient with him than with anyone else. At least we could know the exact location of the Child of Heaven and Earth."
Lu Ziang took a few steps, measured something in his mind, and continued, "If Guan Tian becomes even stronger, we won't be able to deal with him. Not to mention Angry Heaven's Little Ancestor Saint and Elder Lan Xuelei; even Jin Xi and Lat's Hand are enough for us to handle. I have no confidence in defeating those two."
The master coldly replied, "I have my own clever plans for dealing with them."
Seeing that his master was always at odds with Guan Tian, Lu Ziang directly asked, "Master, are you worried that if you have conflicts with Nantian, Futian, or other Mita in the future, Guan Yue will turn against you?"
The master smiled awkwardly and said, "That's one reason, but not the main one. The main reason is that Guan Tian's influence is too strong, and he himself is becoming powerful. He might end up being like his master Futian, someone who specifically opposes me. As long as his master knows I'm at Dragon Lake Academy, he will definitely make him oppose me."
Lu Ziang secretly laughed; it was only now that the master spoke the truth—he was actually afraid of being undermined by Guan Tian.
Of course, Lu Ziang thought about how to help his master. After all, his relationship with his master was closer than with Guan Tian. So he immediately thought of the Fang brothers.
When he mentioned Fang Bulian, his master shook his head repeatedly: "No way, no way. Those two are reckless and lack brains; they don't have much influence. They are not useful enough."
Lu Ziang mysteriously said, "Master, you might not know this, but Fang Bulian's uncle is a peak disciple in the Eternal Realm and has significant power. If Guan Tian succeeds in obtaining two Child of Heaven and Earth from Regretless Sage this time, we can incite Fang Bulian to lure his uncle into action and have a big showdown with Guan Tian."
"Good lad! So you are also plotting against Guan Tian," Lu Ziang's master laughed heartily. He finally understood Lu Ziang's intentions. In the past, he had been dissatisfied with Lu Ziang, thinking he favored Guan Tian; today he realized that Lu Ziang had always been scheming against Guan Tian—this disciple's cunning was indeed quite deep.
Lu Ziang had enough of his master. There was no ambition or great talent in him, so how could he have caught the attention of the Qingyue Peak Sect?
Of course, it was fortunate that his master was noticed by the Qingyue Peak Sect; otherwise, he wouldn't have been involved in this matter. From now on, he needed to establish direct contact with the Qingyue Peak Sect, distancing himself from his master, so that his talents could be showcased directly before them. This way, he would have greater opportunities.
Naturally, Lu Ziang was unaware of his master's connections, but no matter how strong he was, could he surpass Angered Heaven? Could he surpass Lan Xuelei? Therefore, Lu Ziang had his own ideas on how to deal with Guan Tian.
He still had a very close relationship with Fang Bulian and needed to rely on him for many things.
Regretless Sage had been anxious and restless these past few days. An instinctive feeling told him that danger was approaching. Moreover, the incoming threat was extremely powerful and could endanger his life.
Thus, he began to live underground. He wanted to use the defensive power of the underground palace to fend off invading enemies.
Since the last time when Eastern Hawk's subordinates completely destroyed his residence at Changshan Academy, Regretless Sage had rebuilt a massive underground palace at the same location. He employed multiple protective measures.
All the methods he could think of were applied to this underground palace.
Wind, fire, poison, gas, water, formations, hidden weapons—various designs were utilized in the underground palace. In Regretless Sage's eyes, this underground palace was as solid as a fortress; it could eliminate any enemy daring enough to invade.
Regretless Sage was full of confidence about this.
In a very remote mountainous area, there was complete silence all around. Apart from the gentle sounds of animals and footsteps, there were no other noises. The forest animals lived quietly.
At that moment, a small hill suddenly exploded, causing a massive fire that startled many animals in the mountains and sent them fleeing in all directions.
In the center of the explosion, from the shattered Mound, emerged an elderly man with a disheveled appearance.
He anxiously brushed off the dust covering his body, realizing that his clothes were in tatters. With a bitter smile, he immediately began searching for a water source. After some searching, he finally spotted a small waterfall. He hurriedly washed himself beneath it, cleansing four years' worth of accumulated grime before changing into a fresh set of clothes. He gathered his long hair into a bun atop his head.
The elderly man's clear eyes were filled with a bitter smile and a sense of helplessness. He was Futian, the master of Guan Yue.
Futian Shangren had finally escaped from the maze.
For someone like him, who was well-versed in formations, being trapped by a mere formation for four years was truly embarrassing. He had originally come out to settle old scores but had only managed to accomplish two tasks. The fact that he had been hindered by this formation made him blush at the thought.
As a lifelong researcher of formations, it was indeed frustrating for Futian to have been turned upside down by a small Floral Array. He felt embarrassed to even mention it again.
However, after four years of study, Futian's understanding of formations had significantly improved.
He was very concerned about his closed-door disciple, Guan Yue, as he was still young and had not seen him for over five years. Not knowing how he was doing made him anxious. As soon as he escaped, he immediately set off day and night to reach Qilin Academy and find Tai Shi Xiao Xiao.
Upon seeing him, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao was very happy and cheerfully said, "Futian Ge, you finally came! I thought you had forgotten about me!"
Futian joked back, "I might forget you, but I have to check on my disciple."
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao proudly replied, "Futian Ge, you are late. Guan Yue has already gone to Dragon Lake Academy. He is doing quite well now."
Futian felt a surge of joy in his heart: "That kid is not bad; being able to enter Dragon Lake Academy is impressive."
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao laughed and said, “Futian brother, Guan Yue is not just good; he helped me advance two major realms and also helped Nantian advance one major realm. Now I am at Eternal Peak. I must be stronger than you, right?”
“You are at Eternal Peak Realm now?”
“Guan Yue is just like you; he has a deep understanding of formations and can arrange the formation soul, which allowed both Nantian and me to break through a major realm. Moreover, he somehow found many medicinal herbs that greatly helped me, allowing me to break through another major realm. I really have to thank you.”
“What? Guan Yue actually has such abilities? You’re not lying to me, are you?” Futian found it hard to believe because since leaving Guan Yue, he had been plotting revenge and had been trapped in that Floral Array for over four years without hearing any news about Guan Yue. So when he heard Tai Shi Xiao Xiao say this, he couldn't help but feel incredulous.
“Lying to you? If I were lying, would you like me?” As soon as the words left her mouth, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao blushed and quickly added, “Guan Yue not only reached Guardian Realm at Qilin Academy, but he also helped five other classmates reach Guardian Realm, making us at Qilin Academy quite proud. Nantian was very pleased.”
Futian knew that Tai Shi Xiao Xiao had feelings for him, but he could not accept her love. So he pretended not to hear her slip of the tongue and curiously asked, “How did he do it?”
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao sighed and said, “I’m not sure; he just has that ability. He even helped me find a good disciple who practices both martial arts and is a Mind Master. Now he's at Chunhua Academy. My disciple is now also an Eternal Realm Practitioner. Plus, he received the true teachings of Lahong Great Sage and mastered the Magic Supreme Technique.”
“Oh, you have a disciple at the Eternal Realm?” At Futian's age, what mattered most was the achievements of the next generation. Hearing that Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's disciple was already at the Eternal Realm, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
“What does it matter? No matter how capable she is, she’s still your disciple's wife.” Tai Shi Xiao Xiao smiled at Futian, making him feel elated.
Haha, my disciple is impressive; he actually found a wife at the Eternal Realm. Not bad, really not bad.
It's a pity I missed their wedding; otherwise, I could have enjoyed some glory too.
