Chapter 26 Next Destination

The Dean of The Fire King Academy sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He wondered who would stop them.

Ciel might be able to stop Mu Yixue, but he wouldn’t be able to stop Jian Wuxin.

Fortunately, right after the first clash, an old woman figure suddenly appeared behind Jian Wuxin.

She was like a ghost because no one could sense her existence unless they saw her in person.

“Miss, you must stop, it would be bad if this continent is destroyed,” the old woman said.

Hearing that, Jian Wuxin glanced back then jumped into the area beside the old woman.

“You’re lucky,” she said to Mu Yixue, clearly thinking of her as a lion who stopped bullying a cat.

Mu Yixue wasn’t happy to hear what she said. While snorting softly and pointing her spear at her, she said, “I don’t mind a fight to the death whenever it is!”

Jian Wuxin was clearly not afraid, she was about to reply, but was interrupted by Ciel who suddenly said while patting Mu Yixue on the back. “Don’t make such an agreement, this girl will be your sister in the future.”

Mu Yixue parted her lips at his words.

On the other hand, Jian Wuxin froze with her mouth open. She understood Ciel’s words and clearly the latter implied that she would become his subordinate as well or rather his girl.

“Boy, who taught you to speak so presumptuously?” The old woman became angry, staring at Ciel with eyes that looked as if they were ready to spit fire.

Unfortunately, it didn’t affect Ciel at all so the old woman was confused.

She glanced at the ark above, suspecting that one of the two people above was secretly shielding Ciel from her gaze, but she really didn’t feel any movement, as if they weren’t doing anything.

If she was weak, it was natural that she didn’t feel it, but she wasn’t an ordinary old woman.

In terms of strength, she could compete with Isla.

Unless Isla broke through to the God Realm, her movements would definitely be discovered by her, moreover Isla was not a cultivator who was skilled in stealthy movements. She was the kind who fought in a conspicuous manner.

“It seems that you have some abilities, little boy,” the old woman said after thinking that Ciel was protecting himself.

Jian Wuxin hadn’t expected that she would say that, it made her stare at Ciel once more, wondering what abilities the old woman was referring to.

And Ciel thought that this old woman had a better brain than Isla and Mu Yueli even though her previous words were quite harsh, at least she knew that he was extraordinary.

When he answered, he gave her a compliment. “You really are open-minded, madam, I would prefer it if you were the elder in the ice palace.”

His words naturally made Isla and Mu Yueli who were watching from the top of the ark knit their brows. They slightly felt that Ciel was satirizing them.

The old woman didn’t respond to Ciel’s words, she looked at Jian Wuxin and said, “miss, it’s time for us to leave.”

Jian Wuxin nodded then flew into the air with the old woman.

She glanced at Ciel before she increased her speed.

Of course, Ciel knew that this was not the time to keep an eye on Jian Wuxin.

First they had only met in a place, and she wasn’t in her house, there was little chance of her doing anything strange.

It was just that, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes as he looked at the woman’s aim.

She was clearly going to the center of the continent where the volcano was located.

‘What is she looking for? She shouldn’t be interested in the Holy Spirit Flame, right?’ Ciel thought.

After that, he looked around with an expression like he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This city had completely collapsed, even if it was rebuilt, the result would definitely be different. In other words, he couldn’t remember anything here anymore.

However, he didn’t think much of it either.

His life here was so bleak, having only enemies with no friends at all.

The last thing he needed was to never have to come here again to find someone.

“Let’s go,” he said to Mu Yixue and the others. 𝒪𝓋𝑙xt.𝗰𝑶𝐌

He took a step back into the ark, stared at by everyone in awe.

“At least one of my academy disciples made it big,” said the Dean.

“In the future, people will know that he started his journey from this place.”

The other teachers looked at him strangely after hearing his words.

Actually, even if Ciel became very famous, no one would be impressed by him if he could not increase his personal power.

Status could make people afraid, but only strength could make people admire.

Ciel quickly arrived on the ark.

Isla and Mu Yueli were looking at him, as if waiting for what else he wanted.

“Go to the center of the continent, I want you two to help me retrieve the Holy Spirit Flame, I’m sure you two can sense its existence,” he said.

When hearing that, the two middle-aged women knitted their brows.

“Do you know that it’s not easy to find the Core of the Holy Flame, even a low-level one like the Holy Spirit Flame,” Mu Yueli replied.

“One year or even ten years might not be enough. Even if we can withstand the heat, it’s only temporary, we’ll still run out of spiritual energy if it’s too long. And it could cause us injuries or worse than that if there’s an accident. If you come along, you’ll die under the condition.”

“And why do you think that we need a long time?” Ciel answered with a question.

“What do you mean?” This time it was Isla who asked.

“I know where the Core of the Flame,” Ciel replied.

“Are you serious?” Isla and Mu Yueli spontaneously asked simultaneously, surprised by Ciel’s words.

Even Mu Yixue almost said the same thing, she only restrained herself as she realized it was inappropriate for her to speak like that to Ciel.
