At this moment, her heart was ablaze with anger, mixed with hatred, sorrow, and guilt towards Cloud Academy, all bursting forth at once.

Gong Xue’s eyes bulged with rage as she questioned Liao Sixin, “Liao Sixin! How did you find this place?”

Liao Sixin wasn’t fazed by Gong Xue’s anger and smiled pleasantly, “Xue’er, we meet again?”

Gong Xue looked around and noticed that many of the people surrounding Liao Sixin were old acquaintances from Yiqu Liushang.

He actually used the people from Yiqu Liushang to attack Cloud Academy!

How dare he!!!

Yiqu Liushang, that place was Gong Xue’s hard work!

“Yun’er!”

“Gong Xue!”

Just at that moment, Mu Xian and the An Brothers arrived.

An Wanggui also noticed the people from Yiqu Liushang, “Isn’t this… aren’t these people from Yiqu Liushang?”

Mu Xian noticed Meng Yi.

Their eyes met, and perhaps because of shame, Meng Yi immediately looked away.

Mu Xian was truly disappointed in Meng Yi and did not want to have anything more to do with her at this moment.

Mu Xian noticed Gong Xue’s trembling body and pale face. She was staring intently at Liao Sixin in the distance, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Mu Xian placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently but firmly, “Stay calm. Though he has brought many people, if a real fight breaks out, it won’t be easy for them. I will step in and try to push them back.”

Gong Xue’s steely gaze gradually softened. She turned woodenly to look at Mu Xian, then nodded.

“Yun’er, don’t worry. Cloud Academy is the number one sect in the Mortal Realm. Even the Mountain Guardian Array would require them a lot of effort to breach. Besides, there are many senior brothers and sisters in the mountains. Worst comes to worst, my father alone could drive them away,” An Cheyan reassured Gong Xue.

Gong Xue knew that Yiqu Liushang was no match for Cloud Academy, but she was worried about the Divine that had driven her to Gaoshang Land.

Gong Xue asked, “Mu Xian, have you ever heard of Lord Zhuo Mu?”

Mu Xian’s heart raced, and his eyes widened, “You mean…”

Gong Xue wouldn’t ask pointless questions. The fact that she asked indicated the seriousness of the situation.

“Can you defeat him?”

Gong Xue asked.

Mu Xian was almost suffocating, his face turning as pale as Gong Xue’s. Mechanically, he shook his head, “I can’t beat him. The gap between our levels is too vast. Even at my peak, I had no chance, let alone now…”

Gong Xue closed her eyes, took a deep breath skyward, her unease growing stronger.

In the next instant, a bolt of heavenly fire descended upon Cloud Academy, striking the Mountain Guardian Array. The array shattered within moments.

One by one, bolts of heavenly fire fell, destroying buildings and forests. People engulfed in the flames screamed until there was silence.

The four stood at the entrance, gaping at the heavenly fire descending upon Loong Head Mountain.

Liao Sixin led his people to attack the mountain at the opportune moment.

“Mu Xian, go inside the academy!”

“Got it!”

Gong Xue sent Mu Xian away, and he did not argue, knowing that she could handle this herself.

An Cheyan and An Wanggui found the address “Mu Xian” strange. The conversation was also baffling to them, but now wasn’t the time to question these things.

Gong Xue led the disciples of the mountain in a fierce battle, with An Wanggui and An Cheyan assisting on the side.

Gong Xue and Liao Sixin were evenly matched. Meng Yi wanted to help but was entangled by the An Brothers.

After ten consecutive moves, Gong Xue and Liao Sixin were still tied, which surprised Liao Sixin. Gong Xue’s recovery had been astounding in such a short time.

Back in Qingjue Sect, she had defeated Liao Sixin in just a few moves and faced Meng Yi without breaking a sweat. Liao Sixin was somewhat jealous of Gong Xue’s talent and regretted not keeping her by his side or killing her back then.

An Cheyan and An Wanggui teamed up and barely managed to contend with Meng Yi.

Despite being only a demigod, Meng Yi, an Immortal of the Third Heaven, did not take them seriously at all.

With the Mountain Guardian Array broken, the heavenly fire rampaged, turning what was once a paradise into a hellscape.

The disciples of Cloud Academy made an emergency retreat while several elders joined the rescue efforts.

When a fireball was about to descend, causing chaos among the disciples on the ground, Deng Ying led some disciples to repair the array, but they couldn’t hold off even one fireball.

“Everyone, run!”

Wei Xian and Xu Tao helped evacuate the crowd as the fireball, carrying intense heat, approached them.

Boom!

Just when everyone thought they were doomed to burn, Mu Xian appeared mid-air, erecting a light shield that covered the entire Loong Head Mountain. The fireball shattered into pieces upon hitting the shield.

“Move quickly!”

Disciples on the ground, stunned, snapped back to reality upon Mu Xian’s shout and began to support each other to safety.

After bringing the disciples to a safe place, the four elders looked up at Mu Xian in the air. Covered in divine light, his Divine Manifestation on full display, they knew in that moment-they were seeing a Deity!

An Xuqian remained calm, while Chang Wan angrily questioned, “Old man! Did you know about this all along?”

An Xuqian stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously.
