One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Chapter 281 The Old Celestial Master Faces Tribulation, Daring to Be the First in the World!

After the group returned to their lodgings, Wang Ye went inside without saying a word.

Malone knew he couldn't be of much help.

Now all we can do is accept it.

After chatting with Xia He for a while, I went to Feng Baobao's room to rest.

As darkness fell, Ma Long went to bed exceptionally early tonight. After completing his daily training, he lay down early.

Feng Baobao continued to hug him, but her big eyes kept turning around, as if she was thinking about something.

Time passed, and Zhuge Village was unusually quiet at night. Suddenly, Feng Baobao raised her head, as if she had noticed something.

Half asleep, Ma Long ignored it. A moment later, there was a rapid knocking at the door.

These men finally woke up: "What's wrong? Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

"Bao'er, would you like to go take a look?"

Feng Baobao had already noticed it and immediately replied, "It is the king!"

Upon hearing the name Wang Ye, Ma Long's hazy eyes widened instantly, and he sat up abruptly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

With a serious expression on his face, he quickly opened the door for Wang Ye while silently reciting the "Qingjing Jing" (Classic of Purity and Tranquility) to keep himself rational and clear-headed.

Because he knew that Wang wouldn't knock on the door for no reason, especially late at night.

Considering Wang Ye's reactions these past few days, something big is definitely about to happen.

"Old Wang, come in quickly, what's going on?"

Wang Ye looked haggard, his lips were dry and with a bright red stain on them, clearly indicating that he had just coughed up blood.

The heavy dark circles under his eyes and his disheveled long hair undoubtedly conveyed the urgency of the situation.

Without saying much, Wang immediately followed Ma Long into the house and closed the door.

"What happened?"

Ma Long, equally serious, asked urgently.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang immediately exclaimed, "The Old Celestial Master is about to perish!!"

The words hit him like a thunderbolt, leaving Ma Long feeling his head spin and nearly losing his balance: "How is this possible!"

He roared in shock, thankfully the room was well soundproofed, otherwise the whole village would have heard Ma Long's roar.

"The Celestial Master is a celestial being; how could he possibly perish so easily?"

Even if he doesn't ascend to heaven, he shouldn't have suddenly passed away, right?

What's the hidden story behind this?

Wang Ye was equally anxious to explain, and in his haste, he couldn't help but cough incessantly: "Cough cough~ cough!"

Seeing this, Ma Long could only suppress his nervousness, slowly help Wang Ye sit down, and casually pick up a glass of cold water and hand it to him.

After gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, Wang Ye's pale complexion improved considerably.

This time, he continued, "Junior Uncle, don't be anxious!"

As you said, we're just worrying unnecessarily.

If we're talking about urgency, I'm even more anxious than you, but will that solve the problem?

This story begins on the day we left Longhu Mountain, the day the Old Celestial Master sent us down the mountain.

I just felt there was something strange about the old man, but I didn't think much of it at the time.

However, the divination I've been doing these past few days has been abnormal every single day.

That's what caught my attention.

I finally managed to pinpoint my target as the Old Celestial Master by outsmarting the inner world.

After that, I carefully examined the old man every day, and sure enough, I discovered that he was going to face a calamity in the next few days!

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get through this!"

After hearing what Wang Ye said, Ma Long nodded, relieved: "Damn!"

You should have explained this earlier! You scared me half to death!

You mean the Celestial Master is going to ascend to heaven?

Overcoming the tribulation?

That was his choice; whether he can pull through or not is none of our business.

Wang Ye simply waved his hand: "Junior Uncle, you've been reading too many fantasy novels!"

Where did you get the idea that!

We cannot witness the calamities that befell the Old Celestial Master; we can only hope that he will escape unscathed!

"Don't make it sound so scary! What else did you calculate? Tell us everything!"

Ma Long was also feeling apprehensive, but the two of them couldn't both be afraid; Ma Long had to play the role of someone to bolster their courage.

Wang Ye's face gradually regained some color, and he continued, "Sigh!"

If it were just a matter concerning the Old Master alone, perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult to calculate, nor would it have garnered our so much attention.

But through inner vision and divination, I discovered that the Heavenly Master's calamity is related to all living beings under heaven.

To put it bluntly, if he doesn't make it through, we'll all suffer the consequences.

Neither you nor I can escape!

Ma Long kept biting his lip, the seriousness on his face almost spilling onto the table: "So this is how complicated it is!"

What else have you figured out?

Wang Ye waved his hand: "That's all, that's all. We've been through a lot of trouble for days!"

I only calculated that the calamity would occur in the southwest, and I just saw that the stars are densely packed tonight.

Perhaps we can find some clues by looking at the stars!

"Then let's go take a look!"

Ma Long immediately grabbed Wang Ye and rushed out the door, with Feng Baobao following closely behind.

On the hillside surrounding Zhuge Village, the three sat side by side, gazing at the starry sky to the southwest.

Ma Long had received many favors from the Old Master, and he also greatly admired him, so he naturally cared about him the most. He asked Wang Ye, "Old Wang!"

Looking at the sky full of stars, can you see anything?

Wang Ye stared for a long time, then grinned and said, "Uh~ I don't think I know how to read stars!"

All we know are the locations of a few galaxies!

"Huh? You don't know how?"

Isn't this ridiculous?

Malone looked at the dense cluster of stars in the southwest and began to complain.

They had assumed the king could also interpret stars and predict the future, but it turned out he couldn't at all: "Then what are we doing here? Let's go back."

Wang was equally confused, so he could only nod and go back.

But just then, a sharp bolt of lightning streaked across the southwestern sky. Although it was far away, the lightning was clearly extraordinary.

Unlike ordinary lightning, this lightning bolt was entirely golden with a purple outer edge.

Even though the stars in the southwest were shining brightly, they were all dimmed when this lightning appeared.

It was only then that Malone noticed something different about the stars in the southwest; they seemed to be more numerous, far too many, and too densely packed.

There's a strange sense of unease about it.

Compared to other directions, the stars in the southwest are mostly clustered together and shine brightly together.

This is quite different from the twinkling appearance of other stars.

"These stars are strange. I've never seen so many stars before. Why are they all gathered together?"

Old Wang, do you understand?

Wang Ye's nonchalant expression remained; he shook his head and said, "I don't understand!"

But if I'm not mistaken, that's where the Old Celestial Master will face his tribulation!

Ma Long wholeheartedly agreed, silently clenching his fists, though he didn't know what had happened: "Hopefully, the old man will be alright!"

Let's see if there are any other unusual phenomena.

At this moment, Feng Baobao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "It's nothing!"

The old man is very strong; those people can't beat him!

Ma Long was taken aback and didn't understand Feng Baobao's meaning: "Bao'er, what did you say?"

Are there people in the sky?

Are they fighting with the old Celestial Master?

Feng Baobao looked up at the distant horizon, seemingly observing the battle, and nodded: "Mm!"
