Chapter 47

"This..."

Chen Zhen's expression was somewhat hesitant. To be honest, according to his own thinking, Lu Sheng would be safer staying at school. After all, Cloud City First High School had many martial artist teachers, more than enough to protect the students.

But...

Standing before him was Lan Linglong, the second disciple of Heaven and Earth Dojo!

She herself was a martial artist in the Viscera Refining Realm. With her beside Lu Sheng, he would be even safer.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Chen Zhen looked at Lan Linglong and said solemnly, "I'll entrust Lu Sheng's safety to you, Miss!"

After all, Lu Sheng was also his student.

Lan Linglong smiled faintly and said gently, "Don't worry. Lu Sheng is my Junior Disciple Brother. No matter what, I won't just stand by and watch my Junior Disciple Brother come to harm!"

The moment those words fell, Chen Zhen's pupils shrank slightly.

Lu Sheng was actually Lan Linglong's Junior Disciple Brother? That meant...

Lu Sheng had already become a personal disciple of Heaven and Earth Dojo?

Previously, Chen Zhen had only thought that Lu Sheng had joined Heaven and Earth Dojo as an Outer Disciple. What he had never expected was that Lu Sheng could become a personal disciple of Heaven and Earth Dojo!

One had to know that the mysterious Dojo Master of Heaven and Earth Dojo only had two personal disciples in total!

The first personal disciple was a high-ranking figure in the Military. As for exactly what position he held, Chen Zhen's status did not qualify him to know. But judging from what had happened at the Martial Arts Training Hall before, his position was certainly not low.

Otherwise, even Cloud City's two top officials would not have treated him with such respect.

As for the second disciple—Lan Linglong before him—she was likewise one of Cloud City's foremost powerhouses, one of the few martial artists in the Viscera Refining Realm.

This showed just how terrifying Heaven and Earth Dojo's two personal disciples were.

Lu Sheng had become a personal disciple of Heaven and Earth Dojo...

To a certain extent, Lu Sheng's talent...

Chen Zhen took a deep breath. He had already intended to keep a close eye on Lu Sheng before, yet even so, he had still failed to recognize Lu Sheng's potential...

Chen Zhen could not help but laugh bitterly to himself. Then he said solemnly to Lan Linglong, "In that case, Miss Lan, please do as you wish!"

Lan Linglong smiled faintly, beckoned to Lu Sheng beside her, and said softly, "Junior Disciple Brother, let's go!"

Lu Sheng nodded. Although he did not know where his Second Senior Sister intended to take him, the black, savage crack splitting open above the Sky Curtain made his heart pound with dread.

Clearly...

The current situation had already exceeded the level he could reach.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and followed Lan Linglong's side. Under everyone's watchful eyes, they slowly left the Martial Arts Training Hall.

As Chen Zhen watched the two figures disappear, his expression gradually turned grave. He exchanged a glance with the principal beside him, then said in a deep voice, "All teachers of Cloud City First High School, assemble immediately! Ordinary teachers, lead all Cloud City students into the underground shelters. Teachers and students at the martial artist level, proceed to the Martial Arts Training Hall and assemble at once!"

"Cloud City First High School... on alert!"

Enhanced by his qi and blood, Chen Zhen's voice surged forth like a mighty tide, sweeping across the entirety of Cloud City First High School.

Heaven and Earth Dojo, within the courtyard.

Kong Yunzhang looked at the black crack in the Sky Curtain. Even his face, once still as an ancient well without ripples, finally showed the slightest disturbance.

He slowly turned his gaze toward Wang Lin beside him and said in an extremely calm voice, "Do you know that you are courting death?"

Beneath that faint voice lurked an incomparably terrifying pressure.

Wang Lin, already suppressed by Kong Yunzhang's pressure, curled his lips upward at this moment. "Elder Kong, if this junior had not prepared properly, wouldn't exposing myself today have been courting death?"

Kong Yunzhang stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said blandly, "But even if you brought the Gate of Reception here, you will still die today. You know perfectly well... that Cloud City does not have only this old man."

As Kong Yunzhang's voice fell, a sharp female cry suddenly rang out.

"A pack of rats dares to run wild in my Heaven and Earth Dojo!"

Hearing that voice, both Zhao Changsheng and Wang Lin could not help looking in its direction.

High above the courtyard, a slender figure slowly emerged. Her exquisite face seemed to be covered in a thin layer of frost.

With her appearance, the temperature throughout heaven and earth seemed to drop by quite a bit.

All around them, wisps of white snowflakes seemed to materialize from thin air.

"First Senior Sister, you've finally arrived!"

Wang Lin looked at the figure in midair and could not help smiling.

Kong Xin looked coldly at Wang Lin and Zhao Changsheng below. A flash of disgust surfaced in her beautiful eyes.

"Who is your First Senior Sister? Don't try to claim familiarity here. Right now... you only disgust me!"

Kong Xin's voice brimmed with dense killing intent. As she spoke, a pressure slightly weaker than Kong Yunzhang's erupted as well.

Boom!!

A muffled blast echoed through the courtyard.

The two, who had already been struggling beneath Kong Yunzhang's pressure, now seemed as though they had suffered grievous injuries. They instantly spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Wang Lin was somewhat better off, but after Zhao Changsheng spat out that blood, his face turned deathly pale, and his aura instantly weakened.

Fuck! Why the hell did you have to provoke that female tyrannosaur?!

Zhao Changsheng could not help cursing Wang Lin inwardly.

You bastard are in the Shackles Realm and have broken the first shackle of the human body. Even if you're badly injured by that pressure, you can recover quickly. But I'm not!

If you want to show off, can't you stop dragging me into it?!

Of course, Zhao Changsheng could only vent those words silently in his heart. Under the two crushing pressures, even speaking had become extremely difficult for him.

"Father, keep an eye on those two. Once I completely destroy the Gate of Reception, I'll come back and properly deal with them. We'll strive to... destroy the Demonic Cult's stronghold in Cloud City!"

With that, Kong Xin turned around, preparing to head toward the crack in the Sky Curtain.

Although the Gate of Reception could summon the Demon King from the Demon space, as long as it was destroyed before the summoning was complete, such a thing could be prevented.

And this much...

Kong Xin was still capable of doing!

However, just as Kong Xin turned around, Wang Lin below smiled.

"I advise First Senior Sister not to do that, because..."

"After you do, I can't guarantee what kind of unforeseen change might happen over at Demon Slaying City..."
