Dance Of The Phoenix
82. The real gap

"Sir Guruan, are you okay? How's it going in there?" Ru Meng immediately raised a question upon seeing Gu Yuena's arrival.

Due to the previous attack, all the representatives of the palace decided to return as soon as possible without being able to delay. Even the Tianshuang Palace representative also had to leave and leave a greeting for Gu Yuena.

This time the attack was not far from a declaration of war.

"I'm fine." Gu Yuena looked towards Yun Qiao who was also looking at her worriedly. "For now, they won't be back. We need to get back to the palace quickly to report."

Gu Yuena was about to leave, yet Yun Qiao held back his arm. The man asked one thing, "I felt something strange as I left. Didn't you do some weird magic?"

Gu Yuena smiled without guilt. "Can I do it to you? Your power is higher than mine."

"I thought I was nothing." Yun Qiao smiled wryly. "I didn't know I'd deserve the position my teacher gave me."

"Don't be discouraged. Even your teacher has lost to my teacher." Gu Yuena laughed after saying so to dilute the situation. "We're leaving now."

They also traveled back to Yuansu Palace. But before the airship took off, a disciple came hurriedly carrying a letter from the Palace.

"Unclearly, seriously!"

The three of them turned to look at the male disciple who was in such a hurry as to see a ghost. As it was difficult for him to speak due to exhaustion, the man immediately gave Yun Qiao a letter to read together.

The three of them read it. In the next instant, their countenances turned into overwhelming shock and anxiety.

Gu Yuena clenched her fists restraining the turbulent emotions. So the attack was just a diversion to keep him inhibited during the banquet.

The main purpose of Linghun Hall is ... Yuansu Palace.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Yuansu Palace is in a state of decline. The alchemists and healers pacing around inside the palace gave care and support to the disciples fighting outside.

Already a few days had passed, Yuansu Palace suffered a surprise attack that brought down the entire academy. In just a few hours, Yuansu Academy had been destroyed and killed many disciples.

The remaining disciples were now secured inside the palace, joining other palace disciples to fight.

The palace has defended the gates and natural barriers. For now they are indeed safe inside the barrier, but do not know how next.

Out there, the number of witches and the death squad was far more than expected. It caused many disciples to fall in battle and reduced their many troops.

In general, the strength of the palace disciples was very good. But faced by thousands of death squads and witches, they were clearly outnumbered both in numbers and strength.

A black figure darted through the air carrying many cheers from below which added to the horrors of the war. The mysterious black masked man. His eyes looked towards the palace gate which behind it had a barrier like any other palace.

The corner of his lips slightly raised. He swung his hand, letting out a black mist exhaled towards the gate.

The black fog was like a hot and huge meteor, smashing into the palace gates until it pierced through the barrier like broken glass.

The barrier shattered when it also became a piece of glass.

The death squads and witches cheered cheerfully while carrying out the bloody massacre. Many disciples were panicking because the barrier had been destroyed, so the palace that was supposed to be invisible now seemed very clear.

Inside the palace, many were panicking and running as the death squad broke through. The elders set up a formation to block them from entering the shattered gate, but some magicians interfered with the formation causing some elders to experience a backlash.

Too many casualties.

Unfortunately, the dead army always comes back to life because of the masked man.

Yuansu Palace was completely chaotic. The elders gathered to find a solution, while thinking about when the children they sent to Yin City would return to provide assistance.

Yan Shuiyin on the other hand remained silent without giving the slightest reaction. The very sudden arrival of the Linghun Hall was beyond his expectations.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The Yuansu Palace King was silent for a while thinking of some possibilities. If it continues like this, Yuansu Palace will disappear. They have no choice but to retreat.

"Bring the disciples to evacuate and defend the palace as long as possible. I'll hold their leader." The Yuansu Palace King took the safest step. They cannot attack at a time like this.

"What's? Retreating? Your Majesty, you know this is very risky."

King Yun looked towards Yan Shuiyin. "Great Chief Yan, I entrust you to secure the disciples from the pursuit of the troops. The rest, having to activate the teleportation array, the sooner the better."

"Teleportation will be open for a long time, it can't be too sudden" said one female elder.

"How much?"

"Fast 10 hours."

The Yuansu Palace King fell silent. If within more than 10 hours of teleportation were inactive, they would all be depleted. There is no other option but to bet.

"Open the teleportation immediately!"

10 Hours . is enough.

"Your Majesty! They've come!" A student ran to give news. Those that the disciple called should be the children that were previously sent to Yin City.

Quickly they exited the hall, going to see Gu Yuena and the others arrive without the airship with the other disciples intact. That makes them very grateful.

It's good they're all safe.

"Your Majesty." They were all half-kneeling to pay their respects.

Previously, their airship was destroyed by the witches. It was fortunate that Yun Qiao immediately put up a protector and had Gu Yuena fly off carrying the others to land safely, so that there were no casualties among them.

"You've seen what's going on out there. Are you willing to fight for Yuansu Palace?" The Yuansu Palace King looked at the talented children thoughtfully.

"We're ready!"

Their spirit made the confidence of the Yuansu Palace King even more resolute in his decision. He will save the people of Yuansu Palace.

"In the next 10 hours, teleportation will be activated. If at that time the conditions are not possible for you to fight, I order you to direct everyone to teleportation as soon as possible, without exception."

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Gu Yuena kept quiet without saying anything. For some reason, there was an implied message behind the speech of the Palace King Yuansu. He glanced at the tense-looking Yan Shuiyin. This condition was really bad beyond his estimation. It even made a tense Yan Shuiyin.

They all decided to enter the battlefield to provide assistance. Their arrival was definitely a great help to stall for time until teleportation was open.

Without using the power of witches, Gu Yuena finished off the many witches and death squads that wanted to break through the palace. The whip in his hand turned into sword blades, cutting them all with agile movements until his body was filled with splashes of blood.

When he slashed the death creature after the many creatures he killed, he was silent to take a breath and pay attention to the surroundings. The thing that made him very tired was, the number of death creatures that rose again despite being mutilated.

"Damn!" Gu Yuena cursed while shaking her sword.

His gaze was unintentionally fixed on the figure of the masked man up there, watching. Their gazes met, between black and blood red irises.

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes. "The guy ...."

It was the person he had met in the outer courtyard academy. Someone Bai Youzhe nearly killed when she first entered the academy.

His strength feels very strong. What is a tier 8 power? No... What is a tier 9 power?

King Yun and Yan Shuiyin came out to handle it head-on. Given the strength of the opponent was much higher, the two united to fight back.

King Yun had the same level 9 as Yan Shuiyin. Both of them attacked the person for a long time, showing clearly that the person was much stronger than just a tier 9.

The intense and fierce air battle took a lot of time. While Gu Yuena and the others continued to defend against the army of death that became more and more of a witch as it continued to rise.

In the end, Yuansu Palace was pressed because of the many casualties and severe injuries. Gu Yuena retreated along with the other disciples and her friends, then put up a protector from the back-to-back witch attacks.

The guardians defend the barrier from the magic attacks of witches while enlisting the help of healers to heal many people. While the magic power of healers began to weaken because it was used continuously.

The alchemists also ran out of stock of pills so had to make them back inside the palace. It required so much time that many disciples lost combat vitality. That condition frustrated Gu Yuena.

It had the power to finish everything off, but that power had already drained a great deal in the previous battle. He can use his magic to bring them down, but it's free.

The masked man had to die first to win the war.

But is that possible?

Seeing as it seemed like King Yun and Yan Shuiyin were starting to be overwhelmed by the archer as great as the masked man, Gu Yuena became pessimistic. His soul power was so great that Gu Yuena had no chance of taking over the war.

Gu Yuena continued to think hard, trying to solve the problem in front of her. What should he do to protect everyone?

"Teleportation open!"

A disciple shouted from within the palace, giving good news in critical moments. Yun Qiao immediately announced it to everyone to enter into the teleportation array in the palace courtyard. They all rushed in.

"You come in, I'll hold him." Gu Yuena walked over to the guardians holding the barrier with all her might.

"Senior—"

"This is His Majesty's order. I will enter into a timely teleportation with His Majesty and my teacher." Gu Yuena tried to convince.

Seeing Gu Yuena's confidence, the guardians holding the barrier agreed. When the guardians removed the barrier they had made, the barrier disappeared making an attack from outside entering the palace.

Gu Yuena held him back with magic, then made another barrier to hold all the magic that kept hitting.

His defense was not as strong as the guardian, but it was more than enough.

The battle in the air was getting more and more intense. King Yun and Yan Shuiyin were aware that teleportation had been active. The two of them exchanged looks.

"You go." King Yun asked Yan Shuiyin to leave.

Yan Shuiyin just silently looked at him, then saw Gu Yuena who was overwhelmed with restraining the barrier that continued to be showered with attacks. The time of teleportation is limited.

His students are stupid.

Yan Shuiyin looked towards the masked man, then unleashed her magician power that fell down upon all the magicians. Gu Yuena's pressure on the attack was slightly lightened.

Yan Shuiyin looked at King Yun coldly. "I might leave you, but I'm not leaving my students."

Yan Shuiyin glanced at the masked man again, then went downstairs to deal with the remaining troops. The death army continues to rise to control the battlefield.

The presence of Yan Shuiyin in front of the barrier shocked Gu Yuena. The woman slightly glanced at Gu Yuena behind her. "Take it off and go, I'll handle the rest."

Gu Yuena looked towards King Yun who was again handling the masked man. He looked at his teacher again. "Kalian—"

"There's not much time." Yan Shuiyin gave a warning. "That person .. is no match for all of us, including you."

Gu Yuena knew, but she could not leave the two of them. He promised to go with them.

"What else do you think? Think of your life!" Yan Shuiyin scolded with a fierce tone.

"I'm not—"

"Gu Yuena, are you no longer listening to your teacher?"

Gu Yuena was silent. At the same time, the death squad rose again and attacked blindly. Gu Yuena took off the barrier while defending it from afar, then joined the battle to hold them back from entering.

Gu Yuena's magic was so powerful that it left many magicians shocked. He killed them all without looking them in the eye.

Unfortunately, more and more power he drained, while the army of death continued to rise from the dead. Yan Shuiyin was also tired.

Until something fell from the sky, making a loud bang that distracted their attention.

It was King Yun.

King Yun fell on the ground, spewing out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. Yan Shuiyin hurriedly walked over, while Gu Yuena was speechless.

His gaze was directed at a pair of black irises of mysterious-looking masked men.

That person's strength was terrifying, and it seemed to have taken an interest in him.

Right, that person must have been ordered by the Queen to take him.

"Gu Yuena, go!" King Yun shouted at Gu Yuena to immediately leave the masked man.

The masked man shot towards Gu Yuena. Quickly Gu Yuena dodged, then would give him an attack. But the man's attack was faster than her until Gu Yuena crashed.

Yan Shuiyin hurriedly confronted the masked man, protecting Gu Yuena behind him. Both of their attacks clashed forming energy fluctuations so high that it caused a huge pressure all around.

"Xiao Yumina!" Yun Qiao ran over to Gu Yuena and helped her up. His gaze was directed at King Yun. He was just about to help the man, but King Yun was already yelling at him to leave.

Yun Qiao felt trembling and tense. He had no choice but to obey his teacher, taking Gu Yuena away.

But Gu Yuena's gaze kept on her teacher who was holding the masked man.

Can't do. His teacher ... he cannot leave them with that person!

"Take me off ...." Gu Yuena tried to release the grip of Yun Qiao which led her into the teleportation array.

Didn't that guy want to take it? Just need to take it, he'll turn himself in. But don't touch the teacher!

"Yun Qiao, let me go!" Gu Yuena raised her tone. He was as strong as possible to remove the man's grip even though he had to use magic.

Due to Gu Yuena's rebellion, the journey towards the array was hampered. King Yun stood in the distance, participating in a large battle that could no longer be seen clearly.

Don't know what he's using. Gu Yuena could see a green luster bursting out from the darkness. The explosion pushed the two of them towards the teleportation that was about to close.

Gu Yuena who was finally able to escape from the snare Yun Qiao could not run any further. He crashed backwards, breaking the barrier he made and entering the array just as teleportation took them all to another place.

Even to the very end, Gu Yuena was unable to say anything to her shock.

Teachers ....
