Chapter 122

The fissure slowly closed.

That hair-raising sensation dissipated along with it.

"What kind of place is actually beyond that fissure?"

Li Yao murmured softly.

He could sense that with his current strength, if he were to step into such a place, it would be certain death!

Li Yao cast his wild thoughts aside and turned to look at the Cyclops before him.

He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

He had thought some incredible thing had escaped.

As it turned out,

was this it?

The exit to the passage secret realm was a giant warship floating in the air.

Before long, all the top examinees of the Dragon Kingdom would gather here to conduct the final trial of the Martial Exam, the battle for the top ten.

At this time:

Inside the warship, in an independent room,

Xue Xue Jiulan was leaning on a lounge chair, leisurely eating fruit.

She was feeling incredibly comfortable right now.

Just a moment ago, the Mayor of Sangyu had been in contact with her.

"Not bad."

"He's actually grown to the point where he can solo the Purgatory-level trial Magic Cube!"

Xue Xue Jiulan's snow-white legs, which she had crossed, swayed rhythmically in the air.

In her mind, scenes of Li Yao slaughtering his way through the competition were already appearing.

Then, he would refuse the invitations of all the top academies and unhesitatingly apprentice under her.

"Hmph hmph!"

"When the time comes, I'd like to see who dares to say that I, Xue Xue Jiulan, can't teach a good student!"

Just as Xue Xue Jiulan was fantasizing,

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Xue Xue Jiuling, wearing her usual uniform, appeared before Xue Xue Jiulan, panting.

"Dean, something has happened!"

"How many times have I told you, don't panic when you encounter things," Xue Xue Jiulan said with a smile, in a good mood. "Tell me, what is it this time?"

"Let's go first, I'll tell you while we walk," Xue Xue Jiuling said anxiously, pulling Xue Xue Jiulan toward the door.

It was clear that Xue Xue Jiuling wasn't joking, so Xue Xue Jiulan let herself be pulled along.

On the way to the warship's central control room,

Xue Xue Jiuling didn't beat around the bush and explained directly:

"Just now, the detection instruments detected that the aura of the Outer Abyss had emerged from the Sangyu secret realm passage."

"Sangyu secret realm passage? Outer Abyss?" Xue Xue Jiulan frowned immediately. "What does that mean? Speak clearly."

"The technical staff suspects that someone used a Forbidden Crystal to summon an Abyss monster inside the Sangyu secret realm."

"Dean, you also know that the only person inside the Sangyu secret realm passage right now is Li Yao!"

Being able to become a General of the Nation, Xue Xue Jiulan was naturally not stupid.

The moment Xue Xue Jiuling's voice fell, she had roughly guessed the clues within.

Seeing her Dean's face turn terrifyingly gloomy, Xue Xue Jiuling didn't dare to say more and focused on leading the way.

"In other words, the Law Enforcement Bureau agents were just a smokescreen put out by the Yang and Yan families."

"The real killing blow lies in diverting Meng Meng Yanghai away, letting Li Yao be forced to traverse the secret realm passage alone, and then summoning an Abyss monster."

Xue Xue Jiulan pondered for a moment, then asked:

"A Forbidden Crystal is not something an ordinary professional can use. Xue Jiuling, who else is inside the secret realm?"

Xue Xue Jiuling hurriedly said: "Yang Yang Yuexin, Yang Yang Lesheng's biological daughter, an S-rank Curse Spirit Poison Mage. Her mana should be enough to use a Forbidden Crystal once at level 25!"

"However, after using it once, this S-rank professional, Yang Yang Yuexin, should be ruined."

"What's the use of her being ruined?" Xue Xue Jiulan's expression was cold and disdainful. "A hundred Yang Yuexins don't compare to one Li Yao."

Xue Xue Jiulan paused and continued to ask: "I remember she was studying in Jingcheng, how did she get into the Sangyu secret realm?"

After Li Yao formed a feud with the Yang family, Xue Xue Jiulan had sent people to investigate all the members of the Yang family.

Although the Yang family was a Sangyu family, Yang Yang Yuexin had grown up in Jingcheng with her mother, so she naturally should have taken the Martial Exam in Jingcheng.

If she had specifically run to Sangyu City for the Martial Exam, her subordinates would definitely have told her about such news.

"It should be that," Xue Xue Jiuling said, as if thinking of something. "The commotion caused by the alliance between the Yang family and the Yan family earlier."

"In order to prove to other families that they were a true alliance,"

"They sent many young professionals to visit the other's home, and even set up several marriages on the spot."

Hearing this, Xue Xue Jiulan knitted her brows, her expression ugly.

"You mean Yang Yang Yuexin snuck in at that time?"

"It should be, otherwise they couldn't have hidden such a thing from you, Dean."

At this time, they had already walked to the warship's central control room.

The technical staff in the control room stood up in unison and saluted Xue Xue Jiulan.

"General Xue."

"Alright," Xue Xue Jiulan said, worried about Li Yao, and waved her hand irritably. "How is it? Can the footage be pulled up now?"

"Yes, but the situation is not optimistic."

Xue Xue Jiulan interrupted without hesitation: "Pull up the footage."

The next second,

A giant figure appeared on the screen.

One eye, fangs, silver-gray mane, and a volume beyond imagination.

Almost instantly, Xue Xue Jiulan recognized the origin of this monster.

"Titan-race One-Eyed Behemoth!"

In an instant, the entire control room became icy cold.

Xue Xue Jiulan's face dropped to freezing point, and she gritted her teeth, saying word by word: "You all really do think highly of Li Yao."

"What is the grade bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and what level is it?"

The technician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "Grade: Boss. Level: 45."

"Hoo."

Xue Xue Jiulan let out a long, turbid breath.

Except for her eyes remaining cold, the whole person became as she was before, with an indifferent appearance toward everything.

Only Xue Xue Jiuling knew:

This was just the Dean's way of adjusting her emotions.

At this moment, the Dean was probably already furious to the extreme!

If Li Yao was fine this time, it would be okay, but if something happened—

I'm afraid even the old principal, Some Jingyu, wouldn't be able to stop the furious Dean.

"What do you plan to do?"

The technician hurriedly stated the plan they had already prepared.

"The appearance of the Abyss Outer Realm has made the secret realm formation extremely unstable now. If we enter rashly, the secret realm might collapse."

Xue Xue Jiulan: "Tell me the result."

The technician shivered suddenly: "13 minutes. It only takes 13 minutes to repair it. We are already gathering military professionals below level 30. Once the time is up, we can enter for rescue immediately."

"13 minutes, huh?"

Xue Xue Jiulan looked at the screen and whispered in a deep voice.
