186: The storm is over

"Yes, I will definitely relay your words!"

As the firm and resonant voice faded, the Prajna Salvation Whale emitted an invisible wave of power.

This mysterious, formless power, like a surging torrent, instantly swept over all the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples present.

In the blink of an eye, their figures vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared there.

Only an empty space and silence remained, making one marvel at its exquisite and eerie methods.

After the Prajna Salvation Whale and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples it led had completely departed, the clone left behind by the Celestial Transformation Dragon, which had been standing still, suddenly trembled slightly.

Immediately after, a faint crack slowly appeared on the clone and rapidly spread.

Finally, the entire clone, like shattered porcelain, turned into countless shimmering fragments that scattered with the wind.

It is important to know that although the Celestial Transformation Dragon possessed the powerful ability to integrate various attributes, its combat power was terrifying.

However, relying solely on this overlord clone to deal with the Saint Rank level formidable enemy just now had almost completely exhausted its abilities.

The remaining clone was actually in an extremely weakened state, a spent force, so to speak.

But who could have anticipated that at such a critical moment, a few powerful existences capable of rivaling it would appear?

If it weren't for the fact that the opponents seemed to have no intention of harming anyone, perhaps everyone would have thought they were wary of the Celestial Transformation Dragon's true body personally descending.

In any case, this sudden disturbance finally passed without incident.

Fortunately, no casualties occurred at the competition venue this time.

On the other hand, the Beast Kingdom directly lost a Saint Rank expert.

Although this matter did not seem to have any substantial impact on Li Wen, as time passed,

the more he replayed the scene in his mind, the more he felt it was full of various schemes and conspiracies.

No matter how he thought about it, some things just didn't feel right.

When the great battle finally ceased, Lin Yan finally had a moment to catch his breath. He slumped to the ground, taking deep gulps of fresh air, trying to alleviate his extreme physical and mental exhaustion.

After resting for a while, Lin Yan stood up, stretched his limbs, and prepared to look for his friend Li Wen, who had participated in the battle with him.

However, before he could take a step, a familiar figure came into view—it was his Senior Brother "Long" walking towards his student.

Lin Yan was about to raise his hand to greet him but was stunned by what "Long" said next.

"Long" walked up to the student and spoke expressionlessly.

"Kid, Principal Qin has something to say to you. Come with me."

Then he turned to Lin Yan and coldly added,

"As for Little Yan, don't worry about him. He can go back by himself."

Without giving Lin Yan any time to react, "Long" waved his hand, casting the Skill "Space Ghost."

A spatial rift suddenly appeared, engulfing the two of them, and they instantly vanished without a trace, leaving Lin Yan standing there, utterly astonished and at a loss.

After a long while, Lin Yan finally recovered, a surge of indignation rising in his heart. He shouted towards the direction where "Long" had disappeared,

"Senior Brother, what you've done truly pains me! How could you treat me like this!"

Alas, no one responded to his cry now.

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Li Wen stood nervously, his eyes occasionally darting towards Principal Qin, who was seated behind the desk.

Just then, with a slight sound, the door was pushed open, and "Long" walked in.

"I brought the person. I'm leaving now."

"Long" hastily dropped these words, not even waiting for Principal Qin to nod in acknowledgment, and quickly turned to leave as if he had grease on his feet, as if something terrifying was chasing him, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Clearly, he was afraid that if he lingered, he would have to stay and listen to Principal Qin's endless lectures and admonishments.

At this moment, only Li Wen and Principal Qin remained in the room.

Li Wen took a deep breath, mustered his courage to look directly into Principal Qin's eyes, and then cautiously asked,

"Principal, you've always taken such good care of me. Is it because... my dad is actually your long-lost biological son?"

This outrageous question had been lingering in his mind for a long time, and today he finally seized the opportunity to ask it.

Principal Qin: ???

You just met and you're already trying to claim kinship? Aren't you truly afraid of death!

Suppressing the speechless feeling that surged within him like a mighty river, Principal Qin slowly opened his mouth, his voice seeming to come from a deep valley.

"Although I am not your father's biological father, I am your teacher's esteemed mentor!"

Then, Principal Qin paused slightly before continuing,

"As for why I sought you out today, to be frank, it is because of two matters of utmost importance."

At this point, he turned his gaze to the side and softly called out,

"One of them, Teacher Lu will explain to you."

Teacher Lu, who had been hidden inside Li Wen's clothes, now reluctantly revealed herself.

She wore a disgruntled expression, seemingly quite helpless about what she was about to say.

Teacher Lu cleared her throat and said to Li Wen, "Do you still remember what I told you when we were about to set off? At that time, I repeatedly warned you not to stir up trouble, but I didn't tell you the underlying reasons."

Li Wen frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Seeing this, Teacher Lu sighed and explained,

"Actually, the real reason is that Principal Qin had already foreseen that there would be many changes during this trip. For this, he specially bestowed upon me a bottle of secret medicine."

"But he was also worried that you are inherently timid and afraid of death, and once you knew about it, you might not dare to come along. That's why he ordered me to keep silent about it for now and not reveal a single bit."

Li Wen: ???

Wait, are you guys using me as bait?

And is that really how you see me? Well... you're very good at judging people.

Principal Qin took over the conversation and said,

"There's one more thing. I've secured the secret realm spot you wanted for you."

"In other words, you'll be representing me. Prepare well and don't disgrace me."

Li Wen's expression immediately changed, and he said,

"Having a godfather isn't so bad, actually. How about..."

Principal Qin's face darkened, and he said,

"Get out of here!"
