Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Lu, Lu Feng...!"

At that moment, a weak, low male voice came from the ruins nearby again.

The next moment, Chu Tianhong managed to stand up straight, his face pale, and he said in a broken voice, "You're alright...that's so good!"

"Dean Chu, your injuries...!"

"No, it's alright!"

After examining the other's injuries, Lu Feng was about to speak when Chu Tianhong waved his hand to interrupt him, "It's just that your dantian energy is exhausted, and you can't use the Withered Tree Rejuvenation Technique for the time being. Such a minor injury is not enough to kill me..."

"On the contrary, it's you, Lu Feng...!"

Chu Tianhong looked at Lu Feng again, his eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration. "Not only did he show no fear in the face of the two envoys of the Wusheng Sect, but he also risked his life to save people. His courage and boldness truly make him the number one young person in the Falling Star Academy in nearly a hundred years..."

"Dean Chu, you flatter me. I only offered my humble assistance..."

Faced with Chu Tianhong's praise, Lu Feng was not arrogant or complacent. He simply cupped his hands slightly and said, "Moreover, as a member of Falling Star Academy, I will not stand idly by and watch the vast Falling Star Academy be destroyed by these remnants of the Lifeless Cult...!"

"Brother Chu!"

"Old Chu, are you alright?!"

At this moment, Liu Lanyu, Xia Xihai, and others who had successfully escaped also rushed over, their faces full of worry.

Although Chu Tianhong was spared thanks to Lu Feng's help, his injuries were still serious. In addition, he had just had some of his essence blood absorbed by the Blood Drinking Demon Blade, making him extremely weak and almost unable to fight again!

"Junior Brother Xia, and Junior Sister Liu..."

"Please rest assured, everyone, I, Chu, am not going to die anytime soon...!"

Facing the worried looks from the crowd, Chu Tianhong merely grinned, then shook his head, "As for the portion of essence I just lost, it's nothing to worry about. With the 'Rejuvenation of Withered Trees' technique, it will be fully restored in just half an hour...!"

"Very good!"

"Dean, if something really serious happens to you, we old folks won't be able to survive either...!"

"Yes! It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!"

Upon discovering that Chu Tianhong's aura was weak but his vital energy had not been damaged, Yuan Tiangang, Dao Butong, and the others nodded repeatedly, their faces showing lingering fear.

"Oh right, Vice Dean Xia! And Xiaoyu and Xuanfei too...!"

Seemingly remembering something, Lu Feng quickly turned to look at Xia Xihai beside him, who shook his head slightly and then said unhurriedly, "Little Lu, don't worry, these two girls are not only full of energy and perfectly fine, but they're not even in Cangmang Mountain right now..."

"What?"

Lu Feng was taken aback.

"Hehe, of course it's Xia's foresight..."

Seeing the surprise on Lu Feng's face as well, Xia Xihai's lips curled slightly, then he smiled faintly, "Back then, the Wusheng Sect issued the Wusheng Annihilation Order, so naturally I couldn't have been unprepared..."

"Ten days ago, I, Xia, specifically arranged for Lin Xiaoyu and Ren Xuanfei to leave the academy. As for the reason for their departure, it was that a small, remote country in the Eastern Xuan Region had suddenly encountered a minor problem, requiring the urgent dispatch of several Falling Star disciples to resolve it. This could be considered a kind of academy mission..."

Xia Xihai remained unhurried, seemingly having anticipated the attack from the Wusheng Sect, which was why he made these arrangements.

"Vice Dean Xia, thank you so much!"

Upon hearing that the two women were safe and sound, Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

"Hey! Have you guys finished chatting yet?"

Seeing Lu Feng and the others getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, even ignoring him, the beast guardian, Savage Dragon, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned and looked displeased. "Do you guys really think you can escape this time? Hmph, that's just wishful thinking...!"

"Hehehe, that savage dragon is right. Even with another hothead at the fourth level of the Yuanhai Realm, you all have no chance of winning today. As for the entire Falling Star Academy, it will be completely razed to the ground and cease to exist forever...!"

As soon as the former finished speaking, Guardian Xu Yiping also slowly pushed his mechanical wheelchair. At this moment, his wrinkled, old face was filled with a strong killing intent, clearly showing that he did not take Lu Feng and the others seriously.

After all, Dean Chu Tianhong is currently at his limit and unable to fight any longer!

As for Xia Xihai and the others who were once known as the Seven Fallen Stars, they were also seriously injured and their strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. So what could Lu Feng, who was only at the fourth level of the Yuanhai Realm, possibly do?

"Xia Xihai, do you intend to forever hide behind a hothead and never dare to fight this protector?"

Taking a step forward as well, Dai Qisi spoke sarcastically, seemingly intending to use provocation to force Xia Xihai to take action personally once again.

"Kiss, I can't let you make another mistake. This battle...!"

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Xia Xihai was about to make a move, Lu Feng interrupted him, saying pointedly, "Vice Dean Xia, you're getting on in years, perhaps you shouldn't be so impulsive..."

"As for this mess of troubles right now, I'll take care of it for you...!"

After saying that, Lu Feng did not give the other party a chance to refuse. He immediately leaped up and landed steadily in front of Dai Qisi and the others.

"Tch, it's that brat surnamed Lu again!"

Seeing Lu Feng charging towards him alone, Manlong also crossed his arms, his face filled with murderous intent. "I didn't expect that in just over a year, this brat's strength has improved so rapidly, even reaching the fourth level of the Yuanhai Realm in one fell swoop..."

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have listened to that cripple Shen Yunyou's advice last time at the Shen family ancestral tomb in the Western Qin Kingdom. I should have just smashed Lu Feng to death with one blow...!"

"Hehehe, you barbarian dragon, why are you suddenly bringing this up again now? Are you scared, kid? This is quite a rare thing..."

Beside him, Xu Yiping also gently tapped the mechanical wheelchair beneath him, his tone revealing a hint of mockery.

"Scared? You think I'd be scared of this brat surnamed Lu? Are you kidding me!"

Faced with Xu Yiping's mockery, Manlong's face also flushed red, and he replied somewhat defensively, "I'm just a little regretful that I couldn't have crushed that brat Lu Feng with a slap sooner!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

With another cold shout, Dai Qisi interrupted their argument. Her gaze turned icy, and her beautiful face, though veiled, still radiated murderous intent. "This brat named Lu Feng will be dealt with by me alone. As for the two of you, don't interfere...!"

"Yes, Sister Dai...!"

"Since Protector Illusion intends to take action personally, then it is inconvenient for this old man to..."

"Wrong...!"

Before Xu Yiping could finish speaking, Lu Feng interrupted him in a deep voice, his tone still cold and sharp, "Whether it's the so-called Left and Right Envoys of the Wusheng Sect, or those so-called Four Protectors, I will deal with them one by one...!"

"As for the three of you, come at me all at once, so as not to waste my time...!"
