Brothers reunited
Cai Die's gaze fell on Zi Yan. The magical beast aura between the two made Cai Die feel a sense of closeness. Cai Die nodded slightly and said, "Are you one too?"
Zi Yan quickly nodded and threw herself into Cai Die's arms. It was the first time she had ever felt the presence of someone of her own kind, and she was incredibly excited!
Hu Jia and Wu Hao stared blankly at Cai Die and Zi Yan. Neither of them had told them what was going on. What magical beast? What similar aura?
Xiao Yu said softly from the side, "Don't ask too many questions yet. You'll find out later. And don't tell anyone about this for now, understand?"
Hu Jia and Wu Hao nodded in agreement upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. Having just witnessed Xiao Yu's strength, Hu Jia and Xiao Yu Wu Hao now only felt admiration for him. When the difference in strength between peers is too great, they no longer bother to compare themselves; it's pointless.
Seeing Zi Yan and Cai Die whispering to each other, Xiao Yu suggested, "Zi Yan, why don't you stay here? It'll save you from running around everywhere. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan nodded repeatedly. Now she wasn't so lonely anymore; at least she still had Cai Die to keep her company.
Immediately, Xiao Yu led Xun'er and the others towards the Outer Academy. At the exit of the Inner Academy's mirror, several figures flashed out. It was Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan, and the others, accompanied by Xun'er, Xiao Yu, Cai Die, Zi Yan, and Little Xiao Nian.
Just as they emerged from the forest, a faint, aged voice rang out above them. "To leave the Inner Academy, you need a letter from an elder of the Inner Academy. What are you all doing going out together like this?"
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yu and the others looked up and saw an old man standing on a branch of a giant tree. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yu vaguely remembered that this was also an elder from the Inner Academy.
Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, the old man suddenly saw Cai Die, let out a soft exclamation, and leaped down from the tree, respectfully asking Cai Die, "Are you Elder Cai Die, the newly promoted elder of the Inner Academy?"
Cai Die looked at the old man with some surprise and asked, "You know me?"
The old man chuckled and said, "The Great Elder informed us when Elder Cai Die first joined the Inner Academy, which is how I know Elder Cai Die. Since Elder Cai Die is with them, please proceed!"
With Elder Cai Die here, why would we need an elder's gift? Besides, the old man also knew that when the Great Elder informed all the Inner Academy, he had mentioned that Elder Cai Die's strength was that of Dou Zong expert, while they, the elders, were only at the Dou Wang level.
Cai Die nodded gently and said with a faint smile, "Thank you, Elder!"
The old man nodded slightly and moved his body slightly, leading everyone directly towards the Inner Academy gate. The old man formed a hand seal, and in the open space in front of them, the space suddenly trembled violently. Then, it was as if the space was torn apart by a pair of giant hands, and the silver gate that they had seen when they entered the Inner Academy reappeared in front of them.
"I've already sent a signal outside. The Inner Academy is quite far from the Outer Academy. There are Griffin Beast waiting outside. You can ride Griffin Beast to the Outer Academy!" the old man said.
Xiao Yan, who was in the lead, cupped his hands to the old man and said, "Thank you, Elder."
Immediately, everyone walked towards the gate. With a flash of light, their figures disappeared outside the gate, and the forest fell silent once more.
After exiting the silver gate, the group looked at the endless, continuous mountain range and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's only been a little over a month, and we're out again!"
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yu and said, "When you have more vacation time in the future, you can come out whenever you want, right?"
Xiao Yu smiled lightly and said, "That won't do. I still need to cultivate properly in the Inner Academy!" Having only been in the Inner Academy for a month, Xiao Yu has already reached the strength of Two-star Great Dou Shi. This speed is quite surprising. In addition to the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, the more important reason is that the awakening of the bloodline in the Xiao Clan members has made their cultivation even faster.
Not far ahead, beside a bottomless ravine, a huge Griffin Beast was flapping its wings. The group lightly touched the ground with their toes and flew towards the Griffin Beast 'Griffin Beast back, easily landing on its back.
The two riders on the Griffin Beast couldn't help but secretly admire the steady movements of these people. As expected of the Inner Academy students, they were far superior to the Outer Academy students. Without saying any more words, they gave a shout, Griffin Beast soared into the sky, flying towards the Outer Academy beyond the mountains.
Outer Academy, Griffin Beast parking plaza.
After Xiao Yu and the others dismounted from the Griffin Beast, they caused quite a stir in the square. After all, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan, and Xun'er had all performed exceptionally well in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, which had only lasted for a little over a month, so many people recognized them.
Ignoring the gazes of the Outer Academy students, the group headed straight for the pavilion where Instructor Ruo Lin was. Earlier, when Xiao Mei had A Tai deliver a message, she had said that her eldest and second brothers had arrived at the Outer Academy, Instructor Ruo Lin had arranged for them to stay in her own elegant pavilion.
Soon, Xiao Yu and the others arrived at the pavilion and gently knocked on the door.
Creak!
With a soft click, the door opened, revealing the gentle face of Instructor Ruo Lin. She paused slightly upon seeing Xiao Yu and the others, then smiled happily, "You got here so quickly? I thought it would be a while longer!"
Instructor Ruolin made way for everyone to come in. As soon as Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan entered, they saw their eldest and second brothers sitting on the sofa in the hall. Opposite them sat an old man with snow-white hair, none other than Elder Hai Bodong!
The four brothers, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yu, excitedly embraced each other, finally reunited!
Xiao Yu followed behind. Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning, who had come from the side, were also somewhat moved by this scene, after all, they were all Xiao Clan and had the blood of the Xiao Clan flowing in their veins.
Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu and smiled, "We've traveled a long way from the Jia Ma Empire, and we've seen the customs of the Black Corner Region. We also understand why Little Yu said the Black Corner Region is suitable for us. Now that we're here, when will we officially establish the Underworld?"
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Ding and said, "We can't rush this matter yet. The establishment of the Underworld requires choosing a base first, but we currently have no power in the Black Corner Region. Therefore, I think it's best if my elder brother and second brother cultivate in the Outer Academy for a while."
Xiao Li waved his hand and said, "If I stay in this Inner Academy, I'll be bored to death. I want to go to the Black Corner Region and try my luck. Your second brother's strength isn't bad either!"
As he spoke, Xiao Li's strength as a Six Star Great Dou Master suddenly erupted, leaving Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Ning quite shocked.
