Wen Yan, with that small body of his, really couldn't carry him, nor could he manage it.
The Old Celestial Master watched the Taoist leave, stood in place for a long ti, then finally turned around and looked at Ji Mingzi, whose face was covered in blood and was still kowtowing.
"Immortal Chongyang failed to clean up his own house, all because his current status restrains him.
You have no idea what kind of grave consequences your actions will bring."
Leaving behind these words, the Old Celestial Master looked at the Taiyi Observatory disciples kneeling on the ground.
"Today, we invited Immortal Chongyang to revoke Taiyi Observatory's qualification to impart teaching.
This is also to protect you all, hoping to preserve a bit of incense for the righteous path of Taiyi.
It doesn't matter whether you understand or not.
I alone will bear all the problems. If anyone has questions, anyone can co to Dragon Tiger Mountain."
The Old Celestial Master finally glanced at Wen Yan, reached out his hand, and patted Wen Yan's shoulder.
A voice rang in Wen Yan's mind.
"Last ti I clearly sensed your remarkable talent, a rare genius for cultivation.
But now I see you have no soul at all.
Your soul, did you give it away?"
Wen Yan froze, hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
The Old Celestial Master, thinking of what Wen Yan carried, suddenly understood many things completely.
No wonder Wen Yan was protected openly and secretly by so many; this is a child willing to give even his own soul away.
He didn't pursue why Wen Yan was still alive without a soul, nor did he ask more details, only patted Wen Yan's shoulder again.
"Cai Qidong's eye is better than mine, your Grand Uncle Master's eye is better than mine too, Supre Taiyi Savior Heavenly Master."
The Old Celestial Master's form gradually turned into radiance, and disappeared, leaving only a magic sword hovering quietly before Wen Yan.
Wen Yan reached out and grasped the magic sword he had seen last ti.
At this mont, the Scorching Sun Departnt's helicopter descended, and only then did soone co over carrying a sword case.
Wen Yan wanted to put the magic sword back into the sword case, but saw the gray cloth fly out from the case, automatically wrapping around the magic sword, then landing on Wen Yan's back.
The Scorching Sun Departnt personnel, seeing this, closed the sword case without a word and stepped aside.
"Everyone, please leave here as soon as possible. You have five minutes to evacuate."
Helicopter after helicopter landed, carrying people away.
Wen Yan even brought Ma Mingzi along, saying this guy had to see what happened next before dying, so he brought him along.
But Ji Mingzi, whose face was covered in blood, shook off those trying to take him and ran up the mountain by himself.
The Scorching Sun Departnt's people couldn't stop him, and could only take the others away first.
Only two minutes after they flew off, Feng Yao called Wen Yan.
"Hey, hey hey, can you hear ? Hurry up and leave, I just got news, there seems to be so kind of rift inside Taiyi Observatory.
That giant ca out from there, and now, to be safe, the Scorching Sun Departnt is going to launch a saturation strike.
Hurry up and go, get as far away as you can."
"I'm already on the helicopter."
"Oh, that's good then, that's good."
A few minutes after Wen Yan flew off, he saw streaks of light in the sky, like a teor shower, tearing through the sky and crashing down on the location of the Taiyi Observatory.
At the top of Taiyi Observatory's steps, Ji Mingzi, face bloody and his eyes vacant, looked up at the falling teors, and quietly closed his eyes.
Violent explosions bood, continuing for at least two straight minutes.
The mountain mist turned into white shockwaves, spreading rapidly in an instant.
Under the surge of shockwaves, although they'd flown twenty or thirty kiloters away, they were still affected by the blast.
Looking into the distance, Wen Yan saw as the firelight and shockwaves faded: the place where Taiyi Observatory once stood was utterly leveled to the ground. There really wasn't even a sizable ruin left, only flas flickering.
Behind the Taiyi Observatory, there was still a place where the mist had not dissipated.
That mist resembled a rift dozens of ters long and over ten ters wide. Only the inside of the rift was filled with dense fog, the boundary was sharply defined from the surroundings, clearly visible.
Less than ten seconds later, more streaks of teor-like lights appeared, and in the next instant, with a terrifying speed, they plunged precisely into the mist and vanished inside.
A few seconds later, violent flas erupted from the rift, spewing hundreds of ters high.
In just three or four seconds, the flas died down, and that rift filled with mist disappeared with it.
All that remained at the site was the forr Taiyi Observatory, still burning in wild flas.
Seeing all this, even Ma Mingzi, who had turned into a fierce ghost, beca well-behaved, staring blankly.
"Are you satisfied with this outco?"
Ma Mingzi said nothing.
Wen Yan sighed.
"Pity my vision is shallow, I can't tell what that is. With such power, it must be so new thing."
It didn't look like a mushroom bomb, but if it wasn't, nothing short of that could make such huge flas. Wen Yan really couldn't guess.
Gotta admit, fire is really handy. If sothing can't be killed, it only ans the heat isn't high nor fierce enough.
As long as you unleash in an instant a heat rivalling the true Great Sun, there's nothing you can't kill.
The downside, though, is the blast radius is too big—only suitable for certain situations.
...
Mount Mao. Huang Zhiji had already returned to the mountain gate. At this mont, he and the Mount Mao Sect Master stood at the entrance, gazing toward Mount Zhongnan.
"I wonder how things turned out. What do you think of Wen Yan?"
"He's a good guy, very kind and sunny, and his hands haven't been stained with much blood." Huang Zhiji finished, then recalled how Cai Qidong, like a martial god descending, had swiftly struck down the Night Vigil Deity, and added, "I heard his martial arts talent is outstanding, soday he'll be one of this era's Martial Gods."
"Zhongnan is definitely finished. Rember in the future, never go too far in what you do."
"Didn't you always say, a lion goes all out even hunting a rabbit?"
The Mount Mao Sect Master turned his head slightly and glanced at his disciple.
"I was telling you to make more friends and have more roads to take. I might not live to see the day the world truly changes, but you're still young—you definitely will live to see that day.
Also, stay away from those folks at Zhongnan who've already gone mad. Otherwise, when the lightning cos for them, don't get dragged down with them."
