Ruan Ruan transford into the Golden Winged Thunder Peng, with Yang Aoshan and Yue Bi sitting on its back.
Yue Bi furrowed his brow and asked solemnly, "Still can’t sense Su Envoy?"
"No... Master, Master has disappeared..."
Ruan Ruan, in the form of the Thunder Roc, had tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lip, anxiously searching ahead at the fastest speed.
Transferring Su Yuan out of Rashamon Academy in broad daylight.
Such a preditated, targeted attack, how could Ruan Ruan not be anxious?
Yang Aoshan was also very worried, with a fine layer of sweat on her forehead and cheeks, feeling suffocated and uneasy in her chest.
She could only unconsciously clutch her chest tightly with her right hand, almost tearing her white shirt.
But Yang Aoshan knew that at this mont, the most worried one was Ruan Ruan, and she couldn’t pressure her further.
At this mont, not only here, Ruan Ruan had sent all her clones.
Moreover, Rashamon Academy, having learned the situation from Yue Bi, in light of Su Yuan’s status as a Sky Patrol Officer Envoy, imdiately sent a Burning Sun Level Teacher and contacted Rashamon City’s City Guard, deploying several teams to search.
However, even so, there was still no news up to now.
"Hmm?" At this mont, Ruan Ruan’s body trembled.
Yang Aoshan, who had been tense all along, quickly asked, "What’s wrong, Ruan Ruan, is there news of Su Yuan?"
"Yes! I’ve sensed the Master!"
Ruan Ruan responded both joyfully and urgently, imdiately putting all her effort into flapping the Thunder Roc’s wings to transform into lightning, rushing toward a certain direction!
Although she sensed Su Yuan, Ruan Ruan could feel that Su Yuan was very weak at the mont!
Yue Bi also beca alert, ready for battle at any ti.
After Ruan Ruan sped forward with the two for a while, suddenly there was a flash of silver light ahead, and a familiar figure appeared.
Silver hair and silver eyes, pale complexion, looking quite weak, it was Su Yuan!
"Master?!..."
Ruan Ruan cried out in surprise and quickly returned to her original Sli form, afraid that in Thunder Roc form she might knock Su Yuan away.
And Su Yuan chuckled softly, opened his arms and hugged Ruan Ruan.
"I’m fine." He gently rubbed Ruan Ruan’s head, soothing her in a low voice.
"Waa!... Master!..."
Feeling the warmth and familiar aura atop her head, all the worries in Ruan Ruan’s heart burst out, her big watery eyes streaming like small rivers, soaking Su Yuan’s chest not long after.
Su Yuan comforted Ruan Ruan while looking up at Yang Aoshan, who was clenching her fists and whose eyes were slightly red.
"Su Yuan, are you... okay?"
Seeing Su Yuan’s weak and disheveled appearance, Yang Aoshan clearly knew Su Yuan had gone through a battle.
Despite being very worried inside, her words turned into this ordinary sentence.
"I’m fine." Su Yuan smiled broadly, "Not gonna die."
"Don’t say such things!"
Hearing Su Yuan ntion "die", Yang Aoshan involuntarily scolded, but she quickly realized it was inappropriate, and though she wanted to explain, couldn’t find the words, causing her face to flush slightly.
Fortunately, at this mont, Yue Bi stepped forward, cautiously scanning Su Yuan’s back, asking, "Su Envoy, what exactly happened? It seems it wasn’t targeting Master Yang, but rather you."
Su Yuan nodded, "Indeed, they were targeting ; there were three Full Moon Masters from Qiguang, and I’ve killed them all."
"Three Full Moon Level..." Yue Bi pondered, then sighed in relief, "To make such arrangents, they must have co from experts. Did they leave any identity tokens?"
"Yes."
Su Yuan presented the identity tokens obtained from the three moon-shaped rings to Yue Bi for inspection.
Though they attempted to assassinate him, Layton and the others, as Holy Temple Moon Knights infiltrating Huo Luo Country’s sphere of influence, was no trivial matter.
To prevent them from having further arrangents in this area, it was necessary to inform Huo Luo Country.
Yue Bi examined the identity tokens of the three n carefully.
But as his gaze fell onto the uppermost identity token, Yue Bi was montarily stunned, then his pupils visibly enlarged rapidly.
"This is... Gareth of the Nightmare Purple Moon from Qiguang Holy Hall?!"
"That’s right." Su Yuan wiped the tears from the little Sli in his arms and nodded slightly.
But seeing Yue Bi’s big reaction, Yang Aoshan couldn’t help but lean in to take a look.
"Major General Yue, is this person... formidable?"
"Hiss..."
Yue Bi snapped back at Yang Aoshan’s query, inhaled sharply, then nodded vigorously, trying to remain calm.
"Very formidable."
"Then... compared with you, Major General?"
"... More formidable than ."
Yue Bi’s voice trembled slightly, his heart churned like waves, unable to calm down!
Much more than formidable?
The strength of the Moon Knights, the southern and northern confrontation lasting these few days, who doesn’t know?
Every ti a Moon Knight appeared, casualties would be heavy, requiring two or three Major Generals to lead forces to confront!
And according to the latest military communications, wasn’t this Nightmare Purple Moon assassinating a Great Fla’s Xuanwu Upper Moon and a Snow Mink Guard Major General in the Eastern Battle Zone just recently?
How did he suddenly appear here, and still be killed by Su Yuan!
Yue Bi realized that his understanding of Su Yuan seed inadequate, not rely what Brother Huang had ntioned.
How could a target warranting the Nightmare Purple Moon’s personal assassination be simple?
Thinking this, Yue Bi casually flipped to the next page and was imdiately stunned.
Yang Aoshan exclaid, "Major General Yue?"
Yue Bi didn’t respond to Yang Aoshan, absently swallowed his saliva, and quickly turned to the last page.
Upon seeing Layton’s information, Yue Bi’s pupils contracted, his mind buzzing as if he were dreaming.
Yang Aoshan noticed sothing wrong with Yue Bi and quickly said, "Major General Yue!"
But Yue Bi gazed blankly at the photos, unable to snap out of it, even doubting if he was dreaming.
Nightmare Purple Moon Gareth, Crimson Moon Caroline, and the chief of Qiguang Holy Hall—the Yellow Moon Layton!
Were these three here to ambush an Envoy who wasn’t even a Moon Lord?
And... all three of them were counter-killed?
Damn! Is this world f*cking crazy?!
Su Yuan finally cald down Ruan Ruan and looked up at Yue Bi.
"Major General Yue, since these three broke through to here, there are likely further setups along the way, I request Major General Yue to report upwards and conduct a thorough check."
Yue Bi looked at Su Yuan in front of him, opened his mouth to speak, yet nothing ca out.
In that instant, Yue Bi felt as if the other was standing at an imasurably distant place, becoming unreachable.
After so ti, Yue Bi finally steadied his heart and quickly responded, "Okay... okay!"
For safety, Yue Bi imdiately fired the pre-prepared signal flare, requesting support.
Not long after, a Burning Sun Expert from Rashamon City ca to cover and escorted Su Yuan and the others back to Rashamon City.
Upon learning the details from Su Yuan’s mouth, even the City Lord of Rashamon City and the captain of the City Guard were shocked.
They promptly transmitted the ssage back to the Great Fla via ergency communication.
The Great Fla responded directly, sending an Imperial Envoy expert to liaise with Su Yuan and Yang Aoshan!
Many days later, Su Yuan and the others returned to the Capitol City.
Before Su Yuan’s arrival, within a few days, the matter of the "March Killing Trap" outside Rashamon City had beco known to all, shaking everyone from top to bottom in the Yan Court!
Su Yuan, after single-handedly counter-killing three Moon Knights including the chief, his reputation spread throughout the Great Fla, across the Central Five Domains, through Black Snow Huo Luo... even reaching the North!
After all, the explosive deaths of three Moon Knights were sothing that the Holy Temple simply couldn’t cover up!
But in the storm’s eye, after Su Yuan t with the Vermilion Bird Throne, he quietly returned to the Qingming Realm.
Inside the Qingming Realm, Yang Aoshan hadn’t left yet, chatting with Yang Yifeng, who had woken from slumber.
Both being academy teachers, Yang Aoshan was conveniently seeking advice on many matters.
Yang Yifeng was also in high spirits, not to ntion, Su Yuan’s Qingming Realm was far livelier than the dark dungeon-like barrier under the Book Tower.
Even if he didn’t eventually recover his Origin, peacefully dying here would be far better than dying like a mouse in the dark under the Book Tower.
"Teacher, Teacher Yang." Su Yuan approached, greeting them.
Yang Aoshan said, "Just call Aoshan."
"Uh..."
Yang Yifeng’s eyes glanced over the two, then chuckled, "Yes, Su Yuan, calling young Yang ’Teacher Yang’ would be redundant with my title."
Su Yuan couldn’t help but laugh at that.
Seeing Yang Yifeng seemingly return to his lively, spirited forr self, Su Yuan was very pleased and said according to advice, "Alright, Aoshan."
Yang Aoshan nodded slightly, "Mm~"
Yang Yifeng, satisfied, stroked his beard and then asked seriously, "The Sun Spirit Pill, did you get it?"
"Of course!"
Su Yuan flipped his hand to produce a box, opened it, revealing the elixir with golden Sun Corona patterns—the Sun Corona Pill.
And not just one, but two!
Yang Yifeng’s eyes lit up, "There are two?"
Su Yuan smiled, "These were just given to by Fang Yu, saying that for escorting... Aoshan back and vanquishing the three Moon Knights, my contributions were significant."
"Good!" Yang Yifeng nodded heavily, looking at Su Yuan, "So what do you plan to do next?"
"This battle with the three Moon Knights yielded much for , and the persistent bottleneck seems to have loosened sowhat.
Coupled with these two Sun Spirit Pills, everything is ready; there’s no reason to delay anymore..."
Su Yuan’s eyes focused as he continued, "I plan to start seclusion imdiately, digest the gains from this battle, and then break through to Burning Sun!"
Yang Aoshan was shocked in her heart, wide-eyed at Su Yuan’s words.
She couldn’t quite grasp what Layton and the three Moon Knights represented.
But what it ant for Su Yuan to break through to Burning Sun... Yang Aoshan knew very well!
This young man, three or four years younger than herself, was actually preparing to break through to Burning Sun?
Yang Yifeng, looking at Su Yuan’s confident and vigorous appearance, felt both emotion and comfort.
Patting Su Yuan’s shoulder, Yang Yifeng said, "Good! Go for it, Su Yuan!"
Su Yuan nodded, called over Ruan Ruan and Ashley to give them so instructions and to take care of the teacher.
After all, breaking through to Burning Sun would likely take quite so ti.
After completing his instructions, Su Yuan bowed to Yang Yifeng, then looked up at the high Qingming Peak, taking a step and instantly teleporting up...
