Chapter 89: Chapter 89: You’re the One I’m Hitting (1)_1

Having entered the city, Mo Ziqing and his companions quickly found out where Xie Lao’s group had settled down. Half an hour later, they too arrived at the inn. As an inn in Blue City that had seen its share of disheveled guests, the Xiao’er eagerly approached the group when he saw the many arrivals and asked earnestly, "Guests, would you like rooms?"

Before they could answer, Mo Feng’s excited voice rang out, "Seventh Brother, over here!"

"Xiao’er, they are with us. Go arrange rooms for them," He Lian told the inn assistant.

"So they are the people you have been waiting for! Please, follow me," Xiao’er said, leading the way upstairs, "Everyone, please go to your rooms to rest. The hot water will be delivered to your rooms shortly."

"Seventh Brother, you go freshen up first, and we’ll notify them of your arrival. By the way, where is my sister?" Mo Feng asked.

"She had some matters to attend to and should arrive shortly. Let’s go upstairs," Mo Ziqing said.

Once everyone had returned to their rooms, Mo Feng set out to find Old Xie, only to see He Lian still staring at the stairway entrance in a daze.

"What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out here?"

"Did you notice their cultivation levels?" He Lian asked.

"I was too excited and didn’t pay attention. What about them?" Mo Feng inquired.

"They are all at the level of Great Phantom Masters now, and there are many whose ranks I can’t even discern," He Lian revealed.

"What?!" Mo Feng exclaimed, "Previously, apart from my brother and them, the others were almost all at the Phantom Master level!"

Although he knew that Dugu Qianye had elixirs that could enhance their strength, he hadn’t expected such a dramatic effect. What kind of monstrous advancement was this?!

"Let’s go tell the vice principal that they have arrived," He Lian suggested, then followed upstairs.

In fact, Xie Ping didn’t need to be informed by He Lian, for he had sensed them the moment they entered the inn, and while he felt somewhat relieved, he also wondered why Dugu Qianye was not with them.

"Knock, knock."

"Come in," Xie Ping yelled from his rocking chair, eyes still closed.

Mo Feng and He Lian entered, greeted Xie Ping with a bow, and said, "Vice Principal, the Phantom Masters and Sword Masters of the troops have arrived."

"Mm. Inform Mo Ziqing and the others to tidy up and come see me once they are ready; the rest should rest up well," Xie Ping instructed.

"Yes."

Mo Feng and the other exited, and soon after, there were knocks at the door once again.

"Come in."

Upon permission, Mo Ziqing and the others pushed the door and entered.

"Vice Principal," they greeted Xie Ping with a bow and called out.

Xie Ping opened his eyes and glanced over them, saying, "Not bad, all of you have reached the level of Phantom Kings. It seems you have been training very hard these past few months!"

It was not just hard work; it was practically life-or-death dedication. The group muttered to themselves in their hearts.

"Where is Qianye? Why isn’t she with you?"

At the mention of Dugu Qianye, everyone’s expression darkened, causing a jolt of unease in Xie Ping’s heart, who immediately asked, "Has she encountered trouble?"

"About that, we don’t know either," Mo Ziqing said, his voice strained.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Mo Ziqing handed the sleeping Xiaoyin to Xie Ping and pointed to Xiaojiu in Ye Canglan’s arms, saying, "Qianye said she’s tied up with something and can’t come with us, arranging for Xiaoyin and Xiaojiu to escort us here to meet up with you all first."

"If her Contract Beast is fine, it means her life isn’t in danger."

Xiaoyin in Mo Ziqing’s arms was catching up on sleep when roused by Mo Ziqing’s movements. Lifting its eyelids, it said, "Old man, my master asked me to deliver a message to you. She’s tied up right now and wants you all to head to Fei City first. She’ll try her best to arrive before the competition starts."

After speaking, it closed its eyes and continued to sleep, completely disregarding everyone else’s expressions.

"In that case, rest well tonight, and we’ll set off early tomorrow morning. Inform the others once you step out."

"Yes."

The group filed out one by one. Watching their backs, Xie Ping’s eyes shone with satisfaction. All these have become Phantom Kings; he believed the others wouldn’t be too far behind. He was very curious about how Dugu Qianye trained them?

If he knew that not only had their Phantom Power greatly improved but their combat strengths were also outstanding, and that all the Phantom Masters had contracted Advanced Level Phantom Beasts, he probably wouldn’t be so nonchalant.

The next day, everyone gathered in the great hall waiting for Xie Ping. Alchemists and others gaped in amazement at the Phantom Masters and Sword Masters.

"Goodness, do they have to be this intimidating?"

"Could they have been switched out?"

"If I remember correctly, they were all at the Phantom Master and Sword Master level during the initial selection, weren’t they? Can someone tell me if these Great Phantom Masters and Great Sword Masters are really them?"

Hearing the exclamations, the Phantom Masters and Sword Masters wore proud expressions. Now that they had become Great Phantom Masters and Great Sword Masters, they too could be considered geniuses.

All ten accompanying teachers came down and, seeing a room full of Great Phantom Masters and Great Sword Masters, and even more than ten Phantom Kings, were just as astonished and speechless as the students before them. Were they dreaming?

Although they had known since last night that these people had rejoined the team, no one expected their strength to be at this level. To enhance nearly a full rank in just three months was truly astonishing.

"What are you all standing around for? Let’s get ready to depart."

Xie Ping had appeared on the stairs at some point and said to the dazed teachers below.

Due to the large number of flying eagles, they were left in the forest outside the city. Now that nearly everyone had gathered, except for Dugu Qianye, there were a total of 126 people. After everyone mounted the flying eagles, Xie Ping nodded to one of the teachers, who slapped the flying eagle beneath him, prompting it to spread its wings and take flight. The other flying eagles followed suit, flying toward the Imperial Capital of Fei City in the Cangqiong Empire.

After nine days of flight, the group arrived in Fei City three days before the competition.

Fei City, located in the northern central part of the Cangqiong Empire, wasn’t very prosperous due to the Empire’s limited resources, and thus lagged far behind Pu City.

The flying eagles stopped outside Fei City, and after everyone dismounted, the teacher led them towards the nearest forest.

This grand spectacle attracted the attention of those entering and leaving Fei City.

"Are they here for the four-nation competition?"

"Seems likely. I just wonder which nation they’re from."

"Tsk, tsk. They look pretty strong. Could they be from the Glei Empire?"

"No, the students from the Glei Empire arrived yesterday, and General Wang came in person to receive them. I saw it."

"Then which empire are they from?"

At this moment, a man at the city gates walked up to the crowd, casually digging in his ear with his finger, approached them languidly, and said in an offhand manner, "Are you from the Mors Empire?"

"Yes." Seeing Xie Ping looking indifferent and gazing at the sky, a teacher stepped forward and replied.

"I’m here to pick you up." The man stretched the finger he had used to dig in his ear in front of him, flicked it, and said, "Follow me."
