Chapter 212: The Fall of Jiangcheng!
Ye Bai's mobile phone suddenly rang with a dense series of message notification sounds.
At first, he thought it was Qin Churan, who had already arrived in Magic City and was sharing some of what she had seen and heard there with him.
After all, that instructor had only been detained for seven days.
Before starting his rapid strengthening plan, he had also sent messages to Li Qingqing and Wang Xiaopang in advance, telling them that he would be in seclusion for the next few days.
He asked them to find time to keep an eye on when exactly Qin Churan would set off.
If Qin Churan arrived in Magic City during this time, the two of them should help look after her, arrange a place to stay, take her around, and so on.
However, he just opened his phone and took a look.
"Swish!" Ye Bai's face turned deathly pale in an instant!
"Ho, how could this be..."
It was because the dense notification sounds were not messages sent to him by Li Qingqing or Wang Xiaopang.
They were from Xuanyuan Mu, a friend he had added nine days ago in the real world!
Wang Xiaopang had only sent him one message!
"Ye Bai, I just came out of seclusion. I heard that Jiangcheng was attacked by an Alien Race and the city was destroyed. Is that true?"
"Ye Bai, I just went to confirm it with my instructor; this matter is true.
And not a single person in Jiangcheng survived, because the strength of the Alien Race that attacked Jiangcheng was too terrifying; a Seventh-grade Evil Spirit even appeared."
"Ye Bai, why aren't you replying? Are you in seclusion training? I wanted to ask if you have any friends in Jiangcheng. If you do, I'll go take a look for you; maybe I can still find some remains."
"Ye Bai, sorry, I was mistaken. Jiangcheng was not attacked by an Alien Race. You can train with peace of mind, there are no problems..."
"Ye Bai, the previous message wasn't sent by me. We are friends, and friends cannot deceive friends!"
"And I just found out that your only relative was still in Jiangcheng before the incident. Wait for me, I am going to apply to my instructor now to let him agree to let me go to Jiangcheng."
"Although the announcement says that not a single person in Jiangcheng survived, Jiangcheng is so big, who can say for sure? Don't worry!"
"Ye Bai, I am Wang Xiaopang. Xuanyuan Mu was just diagnosed with delusions. Don't take his words to heart..."
"Ye Bai, sorry, the instructor did not approve my application, and he has someone following me constantly. I can't shake off this tag-along..."
"But rest assured, we are friends, and friends will not let friends down!"
These were some of the messages Xuanyuan Mu had sent to Ye Bai.
There were many more later on.
They were mostly about Xuanyuan Mu trying to find a way to get away, saying that a friend needed help and he couldn't just sit by and watch, and so on.
Ye Bai did not continue reading.
Because there were too many messages.
And more importantly, Ye Bai felt stars dancing before his eyes and became dizzy in an instant!
Xuanyuan Mu would not lie.
Even though the only message Wang Xiaopang sent him emphasized again not to believe Xuanyuan Mu, and that Xuanyuan Mu's mental state had truly gone wrong!
Wang Xiaopang and Li Qingqing probably just didn't know when he would come out of seclusion.
They didn't want him to know the truth the moment he came out while they weren't there!
Wang Xiaopang had even sought out Xuanyuan Mu because of this and had snatched the phone from the latter several times!
In fact, Jiangcheng... really had been destroyed!
"Qin, Qin Ayi..."
The first face that appeared in Ye Bai's mind was Qin Churan, who had been so meticulous toward him and always had a gentle smile on her face!
It was the bits and pieces of the life he and Qin Churan had lived over the past twelve years!
Qin Churan was the person who had given him tenderness even after being diagnosed with cancer.
He still remembered the look of joy on Qin Churan's face when he told her he could improve his Qi and Blood normally.
He remembered that after Qin Churan's illness was completely cured, although she kept pretending not to care, a look of surviving a disaster flashed across her face, and the way she looked at him was even more like she was looking at the pride of her life.
He remembered when he returned after taking first place in the Ladder Tournament...
Scene after scene.
It's impossible, right?
He had clearly just recently gained the ability to let Qin Churan live a good life.
He had clearly promised to bring Qin Churan to Magic City.
He had even arranged for a Martial King Realm instructor to go to Jiangcheng to pick up Qin Churan.
How could anything have happened to Qin Churan?!
How could Jiangcheng have had no survivors??
Then, the figure of Liu Qingtian, the old man who had also been extremely kind to him, appeared in his mind.
And Liu Yan'er.
Huang Weiguo.
Chen Zhenyao.
Dantai Yanran.
The instructors of the Genius Camp.
How could anything possibly happen to everyone?
Liu Qingtian, having just broken through to the Sixth Grade, said with a smile that he felt like he had been given a new lease on life, and that he would definitely protect Jiangcheng well; he could not let Ye Bai's gift go to waste.
He also promised Yan'er that he would soon get her a Mending Heaven Stone to upgrade her talent...
Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao had also just been transferred to the Publicity Department not long ago, and they had once sighed with emotion at the Dingsheng Hotel that the most correct decision they had ever made in their lives was showing goodwill to Ye Bai back then.
It was clearly just goodwill, yet they had received a thousandfold return!
And there were the instructors.
Ye Bai clearly remembered the gratified looks in their eyes when they looked at him...
"Ah!"
He did not know how long he had been in a trance.
Ye Bai suddenly let out a long howl!
Emotions of pain and hatred filled his entire chest!
"Ye, San, Jian!!"
His killing intent was directed straight at Ye Sanjian!
He had every reason to believe that all of this was still Ye Sanjian's handiwork!
Because the one Ye Sanjian had always wanted to kill was not just him!
And since he had come to Qingshan Martial Arts University, Ye Sanjian could not find a suitable opportunity to strike.
So he had orchestrated the great event of Jiangcheng's destruction to kill Qin Churan and kill everyone he knew in Jiangcheng!
"Boom, boom!"
Martial Dao Will began to circulate around his body in an instant.
One second it was destruction, the next second it was slaughter...
It only circulated between the two.
Because right now, he only wanted revenge!!
"Junior Ye Bai, what is wrong with you?!"
It is worth mentioning that because of Ye Bai's long howl, a figure soon appeared.
Meigui.
She was wearing a training suit, and there was worry and unease in her eyes.
But looking at Ye Bai now, a smile appeared on her face again.
"Did you remember what Ye Sanjian did to you before again?
"Oh, don't be anxious; I believe that with your growth speed, your strength will soon be able to surpass Ye Sanjian's."
"When the time comes, you can go challenge the Tongtian Tower again, and once you reach the sixty-ninth floor, you can fight Ye Sanjian in the Life and Death Arena!"
Ye Bai could see that Meigui had been waiting in the back mountain the whole time.
She must have also known about the incident in Jiangcheng and was waiting for him specifically.
Her forced smile was because she did not want Ye Bai to discover any clues.
Perhaps Zui Xiaoyao waiting for him outside back then was also because of the destruction of Jiangcheng...
However, these thoughts only appeared in Ye Bai's mind for a fleeting moment before they were quickly extinguished.
"Senior, you just said that if I reach the sixty-ninth floor of the Tongtian Tower, I can fight Ye Sanjian in a Life and Death Arena; what does that mean?"
He had discovered the crux of the matter and asked in an incomparably hoarse voice.
"Junior, you didn't know? Didn't you even kill Shangguan Yijian?!" Meigui was surprised, and this time she wasn't faking it.
"Teacher Zui is really... as unreliable as ever!" Then, realizing that Ye Bai was not pretending, the corner of her eye twitched.
"Junior, Teacher Zui actually went to Haicheng the very day you agreed to enroll in Qingshan Martial Arts University and forced Ye Sanjian to agree to an agreement.
That is, the feud between you and Ye Sanjian can only be settled after you or Shangguan Yijian pass the sixty-ninth floor of the Tongtian Tower!"
"Before that, if he were to lay a hand on you, Teacher Zui would not care that he is a Half-step Martial King and would personally execute him for you!"
She quickly told Ye Bai about the agreement between Zui Xiaoyao and Ye Sanjian.
And upon hearing this, Ye Bai...
At this moment, he didn't care at all about Zui Xiaoyao's unreliability; he was even grateful from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't even take in any of Meigui's other words.
He only knew that he had a chance to kill Ye Sanjian with his own hands!
No need to wait, no need to go to Haicheng, he only needed the sixty-ninth floor of the Tongtian Tower!
"Senior, thank you!"
He set off.
Extreme Speed Spear Intent enveloped him.
His entire person instantly turned into an afterimage and disappeared!
He was going to the Tongtian Tower!
He was going to kill Ye Sanjian!
He believed that since Ye Sanjian had this agreement with Zui Xiaoyao, he would definitely send people to keep watch at the Tongtian Tower!
He even felt that Ye Sanjian destroying Jiangcheng was just to force him to challenge the Tongtian Tower!
"Junior, where are you going?!" Meigui was slow to react.
What she was even slower to react to,
was that it was only at this moment that she realized Ye Bai's aura had been wrong just now.
"That, that looks like Martial Dao Will possession?"
"Only, only a Grandmaster can allow a fully comprehended Martial Dao Will to not just attach to a War Soldier, right..."
"Junior Ye Bai, you've reached the Grandmaster Realm?!"
It was impossible for Meigui not to be shocked.
No, Ye Bai had clearly told her before that this trip into the Time Secret Realm was to collect Time Sand!
Not to mention, where would Ye Bai have found the time to improve his own strength during this period?
Only nine days had passed!
Not ninety days, and certainly not nine months!
Was she dreaming?
"Not only that, the Martial Dao Will on Junior Ye Bai is a bit unfamiliar to me; it doesn't seem to be the Destruction Spear Intent he used before..."
But there was no time to think about it in detail.
"Could Junior have... gone to the Tongtian Tower?!"
She realized where Ye Bai had gone...
