Yun Lintian nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, Senior. I don't even feel anything. Let alone being proud."
Hong Wuya snorted and said. "Arrogant! But I like it. Haha!"
On the side, Nangong Xi shook her head with a smile. Now she understood why Hong Wuya was so interested in this young man. They were similar in a way. Especially their innate arrogance.
Since there was nothing to see further, the students and teachers quickly greeted Hong Wuya and left the scene.
At this moment, Yun Lintian saw Chi Xiong walk toward him. More precisely, toward Yang Chen. A doubt appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he said. "Who is this?"
"It's Wang Jue's underling." Yang Chen answered solemnly.
"So he was your opponent back then?" Yun Lintian said while activating Eyes of Heaven to check on Chi Xiong. He felt this man had something unusual in his body.
What came to Yun Lintian's mind was strange yet powerful blood madly circulating within Chi Xiong's body. This was clearly a beast bloodline, but he didn't know which beast it was.
"I'll wait for you in the arena. You can come to me after you've recovered." Chi Xiong ignored Yun Lintian's curious gaze and said to Yang Chen before turning around and leaving.
Yang Chen watched Chi Xiong's disappearing back with a thoughtful expression.
"This young man is not bad. His fighting spirit is strong enough." Hong Wuya looked at Chi Xiong with an approving smile.
"Senior Hong, do you know what his bloodline is?" Yun Lintian asked.
Before Hong Wuya could answer, Gu Yi, who was silent for all this time, spoke first. "Earth Shaking Bear, one of the toughest profound beasts out there. Its bloodline could enhance the inheritor's overall physique. Especially defense. If I guess correctly, he should come from the Chi clan of the Western Continent. I didn't expect him to come all the way here."
"Earth Shaking Bear?" Yun Lintian nodded slowly. He then asked. "May I know this Senior is…."
Gu Yi stroked his beard as he replied. "My name is Gu Yi. You can call me Uncle Gu directly."
"He's the Arcane Hall Master." Nangong Xi added. "Congratulations, Student Yun. Can you tell me how did you clear the maze this quick?"
Yun Lintian was familiar with Nangong Xi as she often stayed with Hong Wuya whenever he went to visit him. He smiled mischievously. "Can I not tell you, Senior Nangong?"
Nangong Xi pouted like a young girl as she replied. "Hmph! Stingy brat."
Yun Lintian laughed slightly and said. "Well, I won't joke with Senior anymore… The clue is the energy flow. As long as you follow the energy flow, you will eventually find a way toward the end. I guess Wang Jue probably has a kind of tool that can help him detect the energy flow."
"Energy flow?" Nangong Xi repeated with surprise. When she entered this place, her strength had already surpassed the requirement to enter the Forest Maze. Hence, she had never challenged it before.
"It turns out to be like this." On the side, Gu Yi was enlightened. Unlike Nangong Xi, he had challenged the Forest Maze before when he was young. At that time, he couldn't even reach the third ring. And now, Yun Lintian's explanation had cleared all the doubts he held for all these years.
"So you also have such a tool?" Nangong Xi asked.
Yun Lintian gave her a mysterious smile and said nothing.
Meanwhile, Hong Wuya took a deep look at Yun Lintian as if he understood something. Yun Lintian could see the Deep Sea Poison in his body. Seeing the energy flow shouldn't be a problem for him.
"By the way, I heard you the poison in Hall Master Hong's body was dealt by you. Can you talk about it? I had spent all of my efforts to help him, yet I didn't find anything in the end. I am really curious how did you find it." Gu Yi paused for a moment and added. "It's fine if it's inconvenient to say."
Yun Lintian looked around briefly and said. "There's nothing inconvenient. It's just that I don't want others to know it. At least for now."
While he was speaking this, Yun Lintian also sent a sound transmission to Hong Wuya. "Senior Hong, we better be cautious when talking about this. There should be a lot of spies in this place."
Hong Wuya pretty much agreed with Yun Lintian. He turned to Gu Yi and Nangong Xi. "Let's go. They need a good rest."
Nangong Xi and Gu Yi naturally understood the implied meanings behind Hong Wuya's words. They nodded their heads and left with Hong Wuya.
Before Hong Wuya left, he told Yun Lintian. "Brat, beware of the Supreme Hall and Peng Haoye. I have a hunch they are going to make a big move soon. And you've been in their ways many times now. Don't think that no one knows about your actions in those brothels. The water here is running deep more than you think. Otherwise, why do you think Principal Tian has done nothing until now? Also, you better stay low during this period. I got a clue someone from the Azure Palace has arrived here. Their purpose is unknown, but I guess it has something to do with your Master."
Yun Lintian's complexion turned solemn immediately upon hearing this. Of course, he wasn't naïve enough to believe no one knew about his secret operations. However, even if they knew, he believed they wouldn't do anything to him for now. As for the Cloud Shadow team, he was still confident their identity wouldn't get exposed easily.
Someone from Azure Palace? Could it be… Yun Lintian instantly understood the purpose of this person on coming here. They must notice something happened to the Life Leeching Seal on Lin Zixuan's body. Thankfully, Lin Zixuan and Han Bingling had already thought of a way to deal with this problem.. Unless this person had the ability similar to Yun Lintian's Eyes of Heaven, Lin Zixuan's current condition would never be exposed.
