Chapter 64: Dangerous? No, It’s a Nightmare.
"Young Master, please wait."
Jun Wu halted in his tracks and looked at the two people and asked coldly.
"Why? What?"
The two men did not have any change in their expressions.
"Young Master, can you please follow us to a private place to discuss." One of them said calmly.
"No..." He rejected firmly and departed.
From their robes, he knew they were elders from his clan but he did not care.
Apart from his father, he did not care about others. His hatred for the Jun’s was bone deep.
Looking at his departing back, one of the masters asked.
"Should I stop him? With our strength, we can easily take him away."
"If you want to die, you can try it." The other responded and left.
Jun Wu’s father was no joke. Touching Jun Wu was touching his reverse scale.
When angry, he could kill anyone. Clansmen or not.
Therefore, provoking him without sufficient strength was nothing but inviting death to oneself.
Looking at the departing Jun Wu, no one dared to stop him or meet him.
As for their curiosity about his experience inside the ruin, they could only swallow down their throat.
Meanwhile, inside the Mystic Path Academy tents, all the teachers gathered and stared at Jiang Yawen.
"Is it true the ruin is dangerous?" A woman asked.
Jiang Yawen’s face was no longer pale. After a recovery pill and a healing pill, her body had recovered a bit.
She looked at the curious teacher and shook her head.
"Not dangerous..." Her voice trailed off, thinking of the word to describe the ruin.
However, some of the teachers were impatient.
"I knew it. How could Tier-2 be that dangerous? Those are just wild claims." A man shouted in indignation.
"Are you now suggesting those injuries were fake?"
"The injuries are not fake but it can be done by humans but that does not make the ruin dangerous."
"I believe our people inside the ruin have a better chance of survival and we don’t have to worry about them not returning alive."
Listening to this, all the teachers nodded in agreement.
They can’t trust the words of others. Now that one of their students had returned, they knew the truth.
However, an old teacher creased his brow and looked at Jiang Yawen.
"Student, are you saying the ruin is not dangerous?" He couldn’t help but ask.
Jiang Yawen shook her head. "That’s not what I mean. The ruin is not dangerous but a nightmare."
Hmm!
All the teachers froze and the wide smiles on their faces faltered. They were already celebrating the return of their people but now...
"What!" A woman exclaimed. "Are you telling the truth?"
The teachers nodded.
"Student Jiang, please tell us this is not true?" A male teacher said impatiently.
There were hundreds of their students inside the ruin and close to five First Rated Martial Artists.
Losing such a force would affect the foundation of the academy.
That, they couldn’t accept.
Jiang Yawen looked at the teacher and sighed. "This is the truth. You can believe it or not..."
She rose to her feet and prepared to depart. She was too tired to continue the meaningless chatter.
She needed to sleep to recover from her injuries. Halting in her track, she looked at the teachers that still could not believe it.
"Have you heard of the Dark Skeletons?" She asked.
Dark Skeletons?
All the teachers were confused, their apprehension increasing.
"We don’t. Tell us about it." A female teacher asked, her voice trembling in fear.
"They’ve appeared inside the ruin and they’re immortal and their numbers are increasing. To leave the ruin, you must defeat them."
"I hope those inside the ruin can make it out alive." She muttered and left the tent.
All the teachers stood with wide eyes, their jaws dropped. None of them could make any sound.
The gravity of what they just learned sent a shiver down their spines.
Dark Skeletons!
The word echoed in their minds like a toiling bell.
"W-What should we do?" A teacher asked with trembling, looking at the others.
"We need to report this to the academy." The oldest teacher said, his voice grave.
There was no room to doubt Jiang Yawen. She was their student and there was no reason why she would lie to them.
Thus, they needed to act quickly.
An Immortal Skeleton.
That alone was scary.
Slowly, the teachers came out of the tent with grave expressions.
Quickly, two teachers departed with great urgency. The reaction of the Mystic Path Academy teachers confused everyone.
The powerful forces realized things might not be simple as they all thought.
Perhaps, the situation was more dire than they imagined.
Immediately, many forces began to send their people to find out what was going on.
Not long, the news spread among the crowd. The word Immortal Skeletons played on their lips.
It was now they began to understand the horror of what was going on inside the ruin.
...
Jun Wu arrived at the Mystic City with ease. He did not care what the people knew or not.
Right now, he wanted to return to his mansion and take a cold bath.
Inside the city, he found a carriage which took him to his mansion.
Outside the mansion, a person stood with a worried expression.
"Big sis, you don’t have to worry. The Young Master would be alright." Xinyue’s younger brother said, trying to ease his sister’s worries.
"What do you know? Do you think it’s easy inside the ruin?" Xinyue retorted without looking at her younger brother.
Suddenly, they saw a carriage slowly approaching them. Curiously, they waited patiently, holding their breath.
Xinyue’s hand shifted and moved to the hilt of her sword. With Jun Wu not around, she did not trust anyone.
Creak!
The door of the carriage was pushed open and a young man stepped out.
Seeing the familiar figure, Xinyue’s eyes widened.
"Young Master!" She cried and rushed forward.
She threw herself into Jun Wu’s arms without hesitation.
For the past three days, her heart had been in torment, sick with worry over his fate.
And now, she thought of nothing else, only grateful her savior had returned alive.
