A powerful explosion immediately ttened the Starry Mountain Peak. Thismotion rmed everyone in the academy, and several figures immediately appeared in the air above the mountain.
"What''s going on? How could someone dare to cause trouble here?" Lin Taixu frowned as he scanned the surroundings with his Spiritual Sense, but nothing could be found.
Nangong Xi didn''t say anything and flew down. She spread her Spiritual Sense out and discovered Bai Yun and others lying on the ground several meters away. What shocked her the most was the appearance of Hong Wuya… How could he be like this?
She didn''t think further and hurriedly went to their side. Upon discovering there was no serious injury on them, she heaved a sigh of relief and turned her attention to Hong Wuya.
At this moment, Hong Wuya coughed severely, and a trace of ck blood fell from the corner of his mouth. His vitality decreased rapidly. He could stop breathing at any second from now on.
"Wuya!" Nangong Xi hurriedly caught Hong Wuya and started to transfer her profound energy into his body in desperation. "Why didn''t you tell me you''ve returned? How could you be like this?"
Nangong Xi''s expression kept changing a few times. She could see Hong Wuya''s internal organs were starting to rot. Every profound entrance began to close, and there was a sign of copse on his soul. In short, there was no way she could save Hong Wuya.
Hong Wuya''s eyes were unfocused. However, his mind was still bright and clear. He secretly stuffed a piece of profound imaginary stone into Nangong Xi''s clothes and sent a sound transmission to her. "Give this to Pce Master Han. Do not let anyone know."
Nangong Xi gritted her teeth and poured more of her profound energy into Hong Wuya''s body. "Don''t speak now. Close your eyes and calm yourself. You just have to heal your wounds in peace. Gu Yi must have a way."
"Do you really think so?" Hong Wuya''s bleak voice resounded in Nangong Xi''s mind. "When I''m gone, take care of these brats for me. They are good seedlings. I believe they will be peerless powerhouses of our Northern Continent in the future."
"They are all your disciples. Why don''t you take care of them yourself!? Shut your mouth up and hurry to stabilize your wounds!" Nangong Xi was furious. However, her eyes were already soaking with tears. She was well aware of Hong Wuya''s condition. The chance of him surviving today was as close as zero.
Hong Wuya''s lips were trembling and formed into a smile. It was a carefree smile that made Nangong Xi''s heart skip a beat. "Since the day Weiwei died, I don''t want to live in this world anymore.… I''m sorry for letting you down. I am aware of your feelings for me, but I ignored them. Please forget me and live your life."
"Bastard! Why are you so selfish? Do you think I can forget you just because you say so? If it''s easy like that, I would have done it long ago." Nangong Xi cried uncontrobly. A trace of blood fell out of the corner of her mouth.
Hong Wuya coughed up another mouthful of ck blood and smiled weakly at Nangong Xi.
"Master!" After recovering from the aftershock, Bai Yun and others hurriedly came to Hong Wuya''s side. Their expression was unsightly beyond words when they saw Hong Wuya''s condition.
"Who was it!? Do you dare toe out!?" Bai Yun roared toward the sky. He was extremely outraged.
Lin Taixu nced at Hong Wuya gloomily. He felt his authority was being challenged, as he couldn''t believe there would be someone so daring to assassinate people in the academy. He turned to several onlookers and said solemnly. "Activate the formation and close all the entrances. From now on, no one is allowed to enter and leave!"
"Yes, Vice-Principal Lin." Several figures hurriedly said in unison and scattered away.
At this moment, Gu Yi had arrived at the scene. Earlier, he was busy concocting a pill and could not stop the process midway, but when he heard something happened to the Starry Mountain, he immediately abandoned everything and rushed to this ce.<sub> </sub>
When he nced at Hong Wuya, a deep shock appeared in the depth of his eyes. As someone proficient in alchemy and medical profound art, he could tell at a nce that there was no way to save Hong Wuya.
Nangong Xi noticed Gu Yi''s arrival. She turned to him and yelled. "What are you standing for? Come here and help him!"
Gu Yi recovered from the initial shock, but he didn''t move. He lowered his head in sorrow.
Nangong Xi was so angry when she saw this and was about to scold him, but she was interrupted by Hong Wuya. "No need to waste your energy. Old Gu is a doctor. He naturally knows that I''m beyond help."
"I said stop talking!" Nangong Xi was trembling.
Hong Wuya ignored her and looked at Bai Yun. "Bai Yun. You are my most proud disciple. I will leave your junior brothers and sisters to you. You have to protect them at all costs. Understood?"
Bai Yun gritted his teeth and nodded his head in tears. "I understand, Master. I won''t let anyone bully them."
Hong Wuya smiled contentedly and turned to Lan Shuiying and others. "All of you have the potential to stand at the top of this world. Just believe in yourself."
"Master…" Lan Shuiying was crying like a baby. Even Qin Yiran, who usually didn''t show her emotion, was also the same.
"Why are you crying? Life and death aremon things. One day, everyone will eventually die. There''s no need to be sad." Hong Wuya said indifferently.
He turned to look at the starry sky, and his mind began to blur. At this moment, a beautiful figure slowly descended from the sky and opened her arms to Hong Wuya.
"Weiwei… Are you here to receive me?" Hong Wuya smiled affectionately as he looked at the woman in front of him. This person was no other than histe wife.
"You''ve worked hard, husband. It''s time to rest." The woman smiled lovingly and hugged Hong Wuya.
"… Alright." Hong Wuya said in a rare soft voice and calmly closed his eyes. Thest breath of his life faded away at the same moment his voicepletely disappeared.
"Wuya!"
"Master!"
The grief-imbued yell of Nangong Xi and others resounded. They knelt by Hong Wuya''s body as their tears of pain fell…
