Chapter 340 Joining the Ice Feather Academy

"What's going on?!"

The young man named Lu Wang, who had been captured and was about to be offered to the current academy master, froze on the spot.

He thought he had reached the end of his road, but unexpectedly, the situation took a dramatic turn, and all his pursuers were killed.

"this……"

The seriously injured old man looked at everything before him in disbelief.

"Uncle Jiang!"

Lu Wang quickly went to the injured old man's side, helped him sit up.

"Uncle Jiang, are you alright?"

Lu Wang didn't have time to figure out the reason for what was happening, and first asked Uncle Jiang with concern.

Uncle Jiang waved his hand, forcing himself to speak loudly into the dense forest, "Which friend secretly lent a helping hand and saved us?"

"it's me."

As soon as Uncle Jiang finished speaking, Xu Ning's figure emerged from the woods.

"Who are you?"

When Uncle Jiang saw Xu Ning's youthful appearance, he was somewhat surprised.

He could sense that this young man was a fourth-level strategist, and one who could instantly kill experts of the same level.

Uncle Jiang was momentarily puzzled.

This young man was a complete stranger. Why would he be willing to take the risk and intervene? Was it really just a simple act of chivalry?

"My name is Xu Ning, and I am a lone master from the northern part of the Wild Wind Domain."

Xu Ning didn't hide anything and directly revealed her identity.

"A lone master strategist?"

Both Jiang Bo and Lu Wang showed a look of shock in their eyes.

Lone solitary strategists are not uncommon, but those who can reach the fourth rank are extremely rare.

The cultivation resources for a solitary sorcerer are extremely difficult to obtain, and the environment for advancement is much more challenging. There are very few solitary sorcerers in the entire southern part of the Wild Wind Domain who can advance to the fourth rank or above, and Xu Ning is still so young.

"good."

Xu Ning nodded.

Jiang Bo hesitated for a moment, then was helped up by Lu Wang with difficulty. He clasped his hands in thanks to Xu Ning and said, "Thank you for saving us, Brother Xu. My young master and I are extremely grateful."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning smiled but did not respond.

Jiang Bo's heart skipped a beat. Xu Ning's reaction showed that she accepted his gratitude very readily.

"Brother Xu, your act of rescue is an immense favor to us. We don't know what you would like to repay, but we will try our best to fulfill your request."

Jiang Bo also vaguely sensed that Xu Ning's intervention to save them seemed to have some ulterior motive.

However, Uncle Jiang did not find anything wrong with this.

If Xu Ning were to truly act righteously and without seeking anything in return, that would truly make Jiang Bozhen's heart pound.

"Brother Jiang..."

Xu Ning followed suit, addressing Jiang Bo in reverse: "Just now, when I was in the shadows, I overheard some of your conversation..."

Jiang Bo's eyes twitched.

"Your young master seems to be the heir to a certain secret arts academy?"

Xu Ning took the initiative to start the conversation.

Jiang Bo glanced at Lu Wang beside him and nodded: "Yes."

"My young master is the successor to the headmaster of the Ice Feather Academy."

Uncle Jiang responded directly.

Given their current situation, there's nothing for them to hide.

Moreover, since Xu Ning overheard their conversation, he has a general understanding of their situation.

"The former headmaster of Ice Feather Academy was the young master's grandfather."

Uncle Jiang said, "Because the young master's parents both died in a turmoil, the old academy master attaches great importance to the young master and has long had the idea of ​​cultivating the young master as the successor of the Ice Feather Academy."

"Six months ago, the young master made progress and advanced to the third-tier Mystic Master. The old academy master was very pleased and asked me to take the young master on a trip to broaden his horizons and improve his combat skills."

"So, I took the young master on a tour of the central part of the Desolate Wind Domain. The young master gained a great deal from this trip. Just as we were preparing to head to the western part of the Desolate Wind Domain, news came that the old academy master had suddenly passed away, and Yin Qingleng, a powerful academy master of the Ice Feather Academy, had become the acting academy master..."

As he said this, a trace of sorrow appeared in Uncle Jiang's eyes.

It is clear that he has very deep feelings for the old academy director.

"Upon receiving the news, we led our entourage back to the southern part of the Desolate Wind Domain. But just as we were about to reach the southern border of the Desolate Wind Domain, we were suddenly attacked. And these pursuers were all people from the Ice Feather Academy, and all direct subordinates of the then Academy Master, Yin Qingleng..."

Jiang Bo's eyes turned cold: "These people don't hide their purpose at all, and directly state their identities. They are under orders from Yin Qingleng to kill us and then let Yin Qingleng secure his position as acting head of the academy."

"The reason for this is that the old academy master still has many supporters within the Ice Feather Academy. Once the young master returns, Yin Qingleng will definitely have to relinquish his position as acting academy master, so he has to resort to this assassination."

"I see..."

Xu Ning nodded as well.

"So, what are your plans next?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"I'm still undecided."

Jiang Bo's expression was conflicted: "Since Yin Qingleng failed this time, he will definitely make further moves. If we insist on returning to Bingyu Academy, we will definitely have to face Yin Qingleng's schemes and sneak attacks again. But if we leave with the young master like this, giving up the position of head of Bingyu Academy, then I am really unwilling..."

"Brother Jiang, how strong is your Ice Feather Academy, located in the southern part of the Wild Wind Domain?"

Xu Ning suddenly asked.

Jiang Bo glanced at Xu Ning and answered truthfully, "It can be considered a medium-to-large-sized secret master force. When the old academy master was alive, he was a sixth-level secret master, which gave Ice Feather Academy some reputation."

"What is Yin Qingleng's strength?"

Xu Ning pondered for a moment, then asked again.

"He is a fifth-level arcane master."

"That's what Uncle Jiang said."

"A fifth-tier arcane master..."

Xu Ning nodded thoughtfully.

After a long silence, Xu Ning spoke up: "Brother Jiang, may I join your Ice Feather Academy?"

"You're joining our Ice Feather Academy?"

Jiang Bo looked at Xu Ning with some surprise.

Xu Ning met Jiang Bo's gaze and nodded firmly.

In fact, Xu Ning's move just now was intended to take advantage of this opportunity to join this secret master organization.

After all, their subordinates are all fourth-tier secret masters, so they must be quite extraordinary.

As Xu Ning had guessed, Ice Feather Academy was indeed a medium-to-large-sized secret master force in the southern part of the Wild Wind Domain.

Uncle Jiang looked at Xu Ning and suddenly realized.

It turns out that Xu Ning's previous act of helping was actually for this purpose.

Jiang Bo could understand this. As a lone master, Xu Ning would definitely have difficulty acquiring resources, so joining the Master Academy was an excellent choice.

"Xu Ning is also a peak fourth-tier secret master. If he can return to Ice Feather Academy with us, it will be a powerful ally, giving us more confidence to contend with Yin Qing Leng..."

Jiang Bo thought to himself.
