Chapter 255: Setting Off For Spirit City
Ling Mo had been waiting for this day for a long time, and had been scheming for a long time.
Each team had only three days for adjustments, and after three days, there would be a total of fifteen teams.
Accompanied by teachers and five hundred Imperial Knights, over a thousand people set off for the venue of the finals.
Spirit City!!
“Alright, let’s go back first! We’ll depart for Spirit City in three days…”
Each team returned, beginning preparations for the next journey to Spirit City.
“Dean, you promised a celebration banquet, don’t forget…”
On the way back, everyone called out in unison, not forgetting Flander’s big meal.
They had been exhausted for the past few months. It was finally over, so they had to rest properly.
Although there were only three days, three days were enough.
“Little ones, you did well. Tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk…”
After leaving the arena, instead of returning to Shrek Academy, Flander took everyone directly to the best hotel in Heaven Dou City to start the celebration.
Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and others also came and drank to their heart’s content.
Ling Mo also drank quite a bit. Among the Shrek students, the best drinkers were surprisingly Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, these two girls.
This made Ling Mo a little surprised; their gazes towards him were not right.
If you were to ask about Ling Mo’s drinking capacity.
Ling Mo smiled without speaking and looked in the direction of the sea.
In the past, Ling Mo’s figure could be found lying around in front of various food stalls. If you talked about his drinking capacity, he was always carried away.
Three days later, fifteen teams assembled and marched towards Spirit City in a mighty force.
Over a thousand people, all in unison.
Although each academy was on its own, they all represented the Heaven Dou Empire. Compared to the preliminary and promotion matches, the tension was much less.
Especially among a few academies that had closer relationships, they walked together.
Shrek Academy still attracted the most attention, but academies with weaker forces were unwilling to approach them.
The Four Elements Academy, perhaps due to their defeat in the promotion match, had also become much more low-key. To allow the participating team members to rest better.
The Heaven Dou Empire had specially made fifteen luxurious giant carriages for the participating team members to ride and rest in.
Shrek Academy’s contingent was in the middle of the team, led by Flander and Liu Erlong, with Qin Ming on the side.
As for Zhao Wuji, he continued to guard the house, as someone had to stay behind.
As for Master, he had probably already arrived at Spirit Hall by now!
From Liu Erlong’s expression, it could be seen that her temper had grown significantly in the past few days, becoming extremely fiery.
Anyone who dared to argue with her would likely fight to the death; even Ling Mo avoided her.
“Xiao Mo, what are you looking at?”
Beside him, the attentive Tang San noticed that after Ling Mo entered the carriage, he had been looking around, unsure of what he was thinking.
“It’s nothing…”
Not answering Tang San’s question, Ling Mo’s gaze continued to observe the surrounding terrain.
“Xiao San, why are you bothering with him! He’s probably looking at some girl again and is sizing up potential partners…”
Ma Hongjun said slyly.
“Get lost! Am I as evil as you think…”
Ling Mo was dejected. He wasn’t really looking at beauties, but at the surrounding terrain.
Half a month ago, disciples from Ghost Gate, Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and Hidden Blade Valley had already set off in secret and were ambushing the road ahead to Spirit City.
However, this road was very long, and Ling Mo didn’t know if they had ambushed the correct location. If they were wrong, a major incident would likely occur…
This time, Spirit Hall would not only send Chrysanthemum Pass and that old ghost. After all, the one they wanted to eliminate was Ling Mo.
And Ghost Gate!
Ling Mo felt that they must have guessed his identity as the Ghost Gate Sect Master. Therefore, they would not hold back this time.
The incident with the traitors in the sect last time had taught Ling Mo a lesson; it was possible his identity had already been exposed.
Therefore, Spirit Hall would definitely not hold back this time.
“Look at this Imperial Guard. Such neat and strict military discipline. It’s clearly a powerful combat force…”
Looking at the orderly guards outside, Tang San couldn’t help but exclaim.
“This army, although they are of the lowest noble rank, they come from the Imperial Knights, and their status in the Heaven Dou Empire is quite extraordinary.”
Dai Mubai also exclaimed.
“Oh? What’s the difference compared to the Star Luo Empire?”
Ling Mo said with a chuckle. Everyone didn’t know Dai Mubai’s identity, but Ling Mo knew it thoroughly.
Hearing Ling Mo’s words, everyone cast curious glances.
“They are evenly matched! However, in terms of combat power, I think the Star Luo Empire is stronger…”
Dai Mubai gave Ling Mo a deep look before replying.
The strength of the Star Luo Empire was greater than that of the Heaven Dou Empire, which was publicly acknowledged.
However, the difference in strength was only a little bit. If they really fought, they wouldn’t be able to conquer the Heaven Dou Empire.
“Oh dear, why talk about these things! What do the matters between empires have to do with us.”
“Brother Mo, look at all the beautiful women outside, especially those beauties from Heaven Water Academy. Aren’t you interested in going down with me?”
Ma Hongjun said slyly with a smile.
“Go away! If you’re going to look at beauties, don’t drag me into it…”
It was better not to say it, but as soon as he did, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong shot him murderous glances.
“Don’t you want to?”
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, with a hidden meaning. Ling Mo dared not admit anything.
“No, not at all…”
“Hmph, who believes you!”
Ning Rongrong said disdainfully. He was saying one thing but thinking another. He had clearly been looking around just now, and now he said he didn’t want to.
Actually, she had misunderstood. Ling Mo wasn’t really looking at beauties, but observing the terrain.
“Haha, Brother Mo, if you’re not going, then I’ll go by myself…”
Fatty couldn’t care less. He left the carriage and rode a horse around.
This team, dispatched by the Heaven Dou Empire to Spirit City, formed a long line. They traveled for ten days and only covered half the distance.
This speed was not slow, considering the large size of the team. Carriages were not as fast as people traveling at full speed.
“Xiao San, look over there!”
Passing by a desolate area, Ling Mo suddenly patted Tang San and pointed to a large mountain above, saying meaningfully.
“What’s wrong with that place?”
Tang San was confused. What was wrong with that mountain?
“Do you remember the ruins I told you about last time? It’s right there…”
Ling Mo pointed to the mountain and gestured to Tang San.
What was special about that mountain? Other than the former site of Haotian Sect, there was nothing. Tang San didn’t know anyway, so Ling Mo tried his best to deceive him.
“Wait, the ruins you mentioned last time are there?”
Tang San’s interest was immediately piqued. He didn’t realize that Ling Mo was tricking him into digging up his own ancestral grave.
“Cough cough… That’s right! It’s right there…”
Ling Mo tried his best to lower his voice and discussed something secretly with Tang San.
Seeing the two acting mysteriously, everyone couldn’t help but ask, “What are you two talking about? So mysterious?”
“Uh, nothing, nothing…”
Ling Mo and Tang San responded in unison like thieves, afraid that others would know their secret.
In reality, the most deceitful one was Tang San, who was sold out by Ling Mo and still helped him hide his secret.
“I feel like you two have a big secret…”
Ning Rongrong said disbelievingly.
