Gu Yu wore a look of helplessness as she faced the tense Lin Han, her head shaking slightly as if she wanted to explain something. At that moment, Lin Han gripped his Silver Rapier tightly; if he confirmed that her escape was related to the Azure Abyss Cult, he would not hesitate to strike, even though their previous interactions had been somewhat amicable.
"Brother Lin Han, if I don’t leave the Star Dragon Divine Domain, that monster will eventually eat me!" Gu Yu shouted, her face flushed with emotion as she trembled. She hadn’t expected Lin Han and the others to track her down to this Jingji Forest so quickly.
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she hurriedly looked in Lin Han's direction, saying urgently, "You all need to leave this forest quickly! Those people have been planning to attack you!"
"Gu Yu!" A deep, resonant voice interrupted her. In the next moment, a swift figure approached Lin Han.
In an instant, Lin Han felt as if a massive mountain was crashing down on him. Instinctively, he raised his long sword to defend himself, but he was still sent crashing into a giant tree behind him.
Boom!
A tremendous sound echoed through Jingji Forest. The impact made Lin Han feel as though his entire body had shattered. The tree he collided with twisted and leaned dangerously.
Xue Wushuang and the others finally reacted when they saw Lin Han propped up on the ground with his Silver Rapier in one hand; the previous attack had been too fast for them to comprehend.
"Hmm? No wonder he's an Advanced Talent; he could actually withstand my punch!" A middle-aged man appeared beside Gu Yu.
Seeing this man materialize, Gu Yu felt a surge of reassurance but also increased worry for Lin Han and the others. "Brother Lin Han, you should—"
"Shut up! If it weren't for looking for you, we wouldn't have gone through all this trouble," Xue Wushuang interrupted her sharply, pointing at the middle-aged man. There was no need for further explanation; this man was Zhang Ziqing, the headmaster of Furious Lion Academy.
At that moment, Fat Cat sneered coldly. "As the head of a top-tier Beastmaster Academy, you still aren't satisfied?"
"Ha! Kid, what do you know? When I nearly sacrificed my life for this Star Dragon Empire, you lot hadn’t even been born yet!" Zhang Ziqing seemed uninterested in Xue Wushuang's words and instead curiously focused on Lin Han.
He wondered why the Qingming Cult was so invested in Lin Han.
"Ha! Mie Tian Qi Lin! Burning Flame Nine Transformations!" Lin Han shouted as he enveloped himself in Blood Flame. With a furious roar, he unleashed a fireball several meters wide from his mouth towards Zhang Ziqing and his disciple.
With a thunderous crash, Zhang Ziqing burst out from within the fireball and charged toward Lin Han and the others.
At that moment, from a distance, a golden shadow flickered by as a short sword pierced through to block Zhang Ziqing's path.
As a powerful Beast Master of multiple levels, this Raging Lion Academy Headmaster summoned his Beast—a Blood-colored Lion with nearly all its mane gone—and it opened its massive jaws to bite at Mie Tian Qi Lin’s neck!
Roar! Mie Tian Qi Lin was also incredibly strong and wasn’t particularly afraid of this Xiong Shi due to its lack of level restrictions. Meanwhile, on another side, Devouring Heaven Xuanwu rushed over; with two Holy Level Beasts present, they could stabilize the situation completely.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud sounds echoed, and Zhang Ziqing instantly retreated. The helper that emerged from the opposite side was none other than Lin Suqing, known for her title as the Golden Light of the Canying.
