Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 299: Retreat at Every Turn!

"What? Guiyuan Academy is in trouble?"

After learning of Feng Ziyuan’s whereabouts from Cai Qing, Long Chen’s brows immediately knitted together. Generally speaking, a senior figure like Feng Ziyuan, who had experienced all sorts of trials and tribulations, could handle most matters with composure. However, Cai Qing’s description of him leaving in such a frantic hurry indicated that something serious must have happened at Guiyuan Academy.

Seeing Long Chen’s expression, a sense of foreboding washed over Chu Lingjun.

Long Chen quickly asked, "How long ago did Senior Feng leave?"

"It should be almost a shichen," Cai Qing replied.

"Little Qing, there’s no need for you to be involved here. It’s not safe for you to stay, so you should head back to your teahouse first," Long Chen said, giving her a few words of caution. "I have to make a trip to Guiyuan Academy. Be careful on the road!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful." Knowing this was no simple matter, Cai Qing reminded them, "You two must be careful as well!"

"Mhm." Long Chen nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Chu Lingjun. "The situation at Guiyuan Academy is still unknown. Maybe you should go with Little Qing..."

Before he could finish, Chu Lingjun cut him off sharply. "What are you trying to pull now? I’m warning you, don’t even think about leaving me behind!"

"But the situation there is still unknown." Long Chen was still hesitant to let Chu Lingjun accompany him.

But she retorted decisively, "That’s exactly why I have to go! If something terrible has happened, we can look out for each other if we’re together. If you dare to go alone, I’ll never forgive you!"

Hearing this, Long Chen had no choice but to relent. He stopped arguing and simply nodded at her. "Fine, we’ll go together. That settles it, right?"

"At least you have some sense," Chu Lingjun huffed, finally dropping the matter. She then looked at Cai Qing and said, "Little Qing, be careful going down the mountain."

"Mhm." Cai Qing nodded. "Once everything is settled, feel free to stop by my teahouse for a visit if you have time."

"Will do." Chu Lingjun smiled faintly. After watching Cai Qing head down the mountain, she left with Long Chen, moving swiftly in the direction of Guiyuan Academy.

「Meanwhile」

Feng Ziyuan had already returned to Guiyuan Academy. When he saw the scene before him, his brows knitted together tightly.

What is going on?

His pupils contracted. He saw that people from Xuanyue Valley, Feiyu City, the Heavenly Water Sect, and the Divine Blade Sect had all appeared inside Guiyuan Academy. Not only that, but they were all launching a ferocious assault.

"AHHH—"

Painful screams echoed intermittently from within the academy. At that moment, the forces from Xuanyue Valley, Feiyu City, the Heavenly Water Sect, and the Divine Blade Sect were like demons from Hell, viciously reaping the lives of the Guiyuan Academy disciples. Blood splattered everywhere, and the thick stench of blood filled the air.

"Damn it!" Feng Ziyuan felt a surge of rage upon witnessing this, and he immediately quickened his pace. With a flash, he vanished from his spot.

Watching the Guiyuan Academy disciples die one after another before his eyes, Fu Qing’s heart was in agony. A dense killing intent radiated from him, his eyes completely bloodshot. He targeted the disciples of the invading powers, striking to kill!

The two elders of Guiyuan Academy were also on a rampage. Though Dong Xuan and Wei Lin were seriously injured, they showed no weakness. They fought with all their might, unleashing their full power to fend off their opponents!

Guiyuan Academy’s overall strength was weak to begin with, and in this battle, its disciples were being overwhelmed. They were in constant retreat, simply no match for their opponents. If this continued, it was feared they would be completely wiped out.

Realizing this, Fu Qing suddenly bellowed, "Dong Xuan, get the disciples out of here! Quickly!"

"No!" Dong Xuan immediately shook his head in refusal. "I would rather die than cower from this fight!"

Just as Dong Xuan was about to charge back in, Fu Qing grabbed him and commanded in a low, urgent voice, "You must find a way to escape with some of the disciples. As long as you live, Guiyuan Academy has a hope of rising again."

"But..."

Before Dong Xuan could finish, Fu Qing struck out, hitting his back with his palm. A gentle but firm force sent him flying backward.

"Dean!"

Dong Xuan regained his footing and was about to rush back to help when Fu Qing’s transmitted voice shouted in his mind, "Dong Xuan, do you dare to disobey even my orders? Hurry and leave with everyone! If this goes on, we’ll all be buried here! Is that the outcome you want to see?!"

At these words, Dong Xuan, who had been resisting, suddenly fell silent. He clenched his fists, his heart in turmoil. Finally, he forced himself to turn around.

He shouted to the disciples of Guiyuan Academy, "Everyone, break off your engagements! Retreat with me!"

Upon hearing his words, the faces of the Guiyuan Academy disciples turned incredibly solemn. They knew all too well that to leave now was to abandon their home. Their Guiyuan Academy would truly be destroyed.
