Versatile Mage: Ten Thousand Fires Surrender

Chapter 160
Ling Xiuyuan had a funny face, looking at Lu Zhenghe who was bound by ice chains and vines, his face looked blue and swollen.

Why bother?If he didn't run away, some people might still believe him. Anyone with a normal mind would know that there is something wrong with him.

It's all right now, let's not say that I didn't run, and I was beaten for nothing, and I lost everyone's trust, why bother...

At this moment, Ling Xiuyuan seemed to have noticed something, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. He noticed that someone in the team was secretly gathering magic, and the target seemed to be himself.

However, he didn't take any action, just stood there quietly, pretending not to notice.

Suddenly, the mud splashed under Ling Xiuyuan's feet, and several ice chains sprang out from under the ground, binding towards Ling Xiuyuan.

clang~ clang~ clang~
In just a moment, these ice chains formed around Ling Xiuyuan's body, forming an ice chain chrysalis, leaving only his head exposed.

The change happened so fast that many people hadn't had time to react. When they realized, Ling Xiuyuan was heavily wrapped in ice locks.

Everyone looked at the caster in amazement, and Song Xia questioned, "Luo Song, what are you doing!"

"Hmph!" Luo Song snorted coldly, pointed at Ling Xiuyuan and said coldly.

"Although Lu Zhenghe's deeds are good, is he not suspicious?"

"Lu Zhenghe's words are right. This person obviously noticed his actions from the very beginning, but he didn't expose the matter immediately. Instead, he revealed the matter after he got to the vicinity of Jinlin."

"Besides, along the way, the number of times he has shot is also very few, and there are even several cases where he quietly left the team. In terms of suspiciousness, this person is also not too shy."

"This person must have his own plan, and maybe it will be bad for us. I just act first!"

"This..." After hearing these words, Song Xia obviously hesitated, and looked between Ling Xiuyuan and Luo Song in some embarrassment.

Unlike Song Xia, other people who were not familiar with Ling Xiuyuan all looked at Ling Xiuyuan with stern expressions after hearing Luo Song's words, apparently moved by Luo Song's words.

Especially the few students of the Imperial Capital Academy, the only thing left is to write the word distrust directly on their faces. After all, they have no friendship with Ling Xiuyuan at all.

A few people were even eager to try, planning to add a few more restraints to Ling Xiuyuan.

Mo Fan wanted to step forward and defend Ling Xiuyuan, but Zhao Manyan quickly stopped him.

Seeing that Mo Fan was still trying to get away from him, Zhao Manyan approached Mo Fan and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, let's see what Lao Ling is going to do. It's not like you don't know Lao Ling's cultivation, if Lao Ling didn't do it on purpose. , with Luo Songna's cultivation level, you still want to catch Lao Ling?"

Thinking of Ling Xiuyuan's cultivation, Mo Fan calmed down and stood aside to watch the changes.

Shen Mingxiao stood aside and looked at Ling Xiuyuan's situation, with a sneer on his face, he had disliked Ling Xiuyuan a long time ago, now seeing him in this situation, he couldn't stop laughing in his heart, feeling very happy.

Ling Xiuyuan sighed, shook his head helplessly, and then spoke softly.

"Actually, although I've come out to practice with you, strictly speaking, I'm half a team leader, and I won't take it lightly when it's not necessary."

"At the same time, I will also observe the records by the way. Your performance during this trip will guarantee your personal safety to a certain extent."

"After all, you are also the best group of elites selected from all the students in the two schools. No matter if you lose any one of them, it will make the school's high-level leaders bleed."

"If it wasn't for this incident, until the end of the training, I would only be a transparent person in the team."

As soon as this remark came out, several people in the team laughed.

"Leader teacher, just you?"

"Hehe, stop bragging, you should honestly explain your purpose!"

"Even if it's a lie, let's make up a better story..."

Before these people could laugh enough, everyone felt that the surrounding air suddenly became hotter. In less than a while, the temperature in the air had already risen to an extremely high level.

At this time, even just taking a breath, there will be a burning sensation in the trachea, and even the few people who are closer to Ling Xiuyuan feel a little difficult to breathe.

There was only a sound of tinkling bells and palms, and the ice chains that restrained Ling Xiuyuan had already fallen off the ground by themselves, and the part near the inner layer had even melted into a state of half ice and half water.

Ling Xiuyuan walked out from among the falling ice chains, and there was still a little mist on his body, making him look a little ecstatic.

However, at this moment, no one has the heart to appreciate this picture. These people felt the overflowing magic energy fluctuations from Ling Xiuyuan's body, as well as the invisible coercion emanating from him, and they were horrified and shocked.

Even the few people who knew Ling Xiuyuan's cultivation were the same. Although they knew Ling Xiuyuan's cultivation, it was the first time that they felt Ling Xiuyuan's powerful aura directly.

Faced with this aura, everyone felt that the person in front of them was like a crater that was about to erupt, and lava would erupt at any time, engulfing them all.

Ling Xiuyuan's outburst of breath only lasted for a short moment before he took it back into his body.

He hadn't forgotten that in Jinlin City not far away, there was also a commander-level monitor lizard pseudo-dragon.

Although he wasn't afraid of the monitor lizard and pseudo-dragon, the situation and factors to be considered were completely different against a leader who had an entire clan under him, or a leader who walked alone in the wild.

If it is just a lone leader, as long as you have enough strength, there is a great possibility to kill it. At most, it may escape in the middle, and you need to spend some effort to catch up with it and kill it.

But the commander-level monsters with a group on their side are different. When they are in crisis, they will use their roars to attract beast hordes, and use the lives of their monsters to consume the opponent's physical strength and magic energy, and at the same time fight for recovery or escape for themselves. time.

Although Ling Xiuyuan was not afraid of the giant lizard and pseudo-dragon launching a beast horde, he had no choice but to protect these students.

For these students, a horde of beasts with the number of an entire group is simply a disaster, and there is no possibility of survival.

Ling Xiuyuan's eyes were a little indifferent, he glanced at everyone in the team, and said in a flat voice: "I'm a high-ranking person."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in shock.

Although they had already guessed in their hearts when they just felt the aura he exuded, but when the truth was said so lightly from his mouth, they still felt a little unreal.

Obviously they are all of the same age, and their dual-line mid-level is already an elite within the normal range, but this person is already high-level... It's not so outrageous to even cheat!
Before Ling Xiuyuan could continue speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Do you know something about Lu Zhenghe?"

Ling Xiuyuan looked at Mu Ningxue who spoke in amazement. He didn't expect the other party to be able to see this from his actions.

Ling Xiuyuan pondered for a while, looked at her seriously and said: "This matter is about an experiment conducted by Master Wei. It is not convenient for me to tell too much information, and knowing too much is not good for you."

In the team, Liao Mingxuan said impatiently, "Can't you speak clearly?"

Ling Xiuyuan shrugged and said nothing.

Seeing that Ling Xiuyuan didn't speak, because of Ling Xiuyuan's high-level cultivation, he didn't dare to speak to Ling Xiuyuan, so he could only vent his anger on Lu Zhenghe who was restrained aside.

"Lu Zhenghe, everyone should be friends with each other anyway, and I don't want to be rough on you, you should quickly explain to me all the ins and outs, otherwise don't blame me!"

Lu Zhenghe glanced at Ling Xiuyuan with some fear, then shook his head and spoke, with a hint of crying in his voice.

"I don't know... My elder brother just asked me to leave a signal along the way, and gave me those transmitters, saying that there is a task to be completed, and he didn't tell me anything else!"

"You..." Seeing his uncooperative appearance, Liao Mingxuan couldn't help becoming furious, raised his leg and kicked hard on the ice crystal chains on his body, causing those chains to collide with each other, and let out a "wow!" La" sound.

Seeing this, the few people beside him quickly stepped forward to stop him, and pulled him away from Lu Zhenghe's side in a hurry.

"Okay, you don't have to force him anymore, I guess he knows, maybe not as much as me!" Ling Xiuyuan said loudly.

Immediately afterwards, he said seriously: "The top priority for you now is to discuss with each other first whether you want to stay here, or evacuate from another direction before anyone comes."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other people couldn't help changing slightly, and they remembered their situation at this time.

"What about you, do you want to stay here or leave here?" Mù Nujiao asked.

Hearing the question raised by Mù Nujiao, everyone turned their attention to Ling Xiuyuan, and only then did they realize that there was a ready-made thigh.

Ling Xiuyuan smiled lightly.

"I will definitely stay here. I have dealt with them before. Maybe I am one of their targets."

"Besides, when those people find you have escaped, they will definitely find a way to chase you. If I stay here, I can stop some of your pursuers by the way."

Someone in the team heard Ling Xiuyuan's subtext and asked, "That is to say, you know the purpose of these people, and there are others among us who are their targets, right?"

"Well...it's hard to say..." Ling Xiuyuan said ambiguously.

Seeing his appearance of avoiding the important and taking the light, everyone was a little annoyed, but frightened by his powerful cultivation, they didn't dare to take it out.

Just when everyone was still a little hesitant, Liao Mingxuan stood out from the imperial capital academy's team with a proud expression on his face.

He pointed to Ling Xiuyuan and said: "Since you were sent to protect us, you'd better find a way to send me back safely. I am the son of Liao Feng from the Imperial Capital Magic Association. If there is an accident in the wild, No good fruit for you!"

Ling Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha...it can't be done..."

"Leaving aside the issue of respect for the strong, you seem to have made a mistake about a very important matter..."

"Although I was assigned the task of ensuring the safety of the students, the one who gave me the task was Dean Xiao of our school, and of course the students of our Pearl School were the ones to protect."

"Whether I want to protect you or not depends entirely on my mood. If you die in the wild, it has nothing to do with me!"

"As for your father... I'm not from the Imperial Capital Magic Association, why are you afraid of him?"

Liao Mingxuan's face was reddened by what he said, and he walked angrily towards the direction he came from, intending to return the same way and return to the city.

Ling Xiuyuan looked at Liao Mingxuan's back, and reminded with a smile on his face: "I suggest you not go the same way, this route has been revealed by Lu Zhenghe, you will definitely fight with the pursuers if you take this way now. Hit it full!"

Liao Mingxuan sensed the smile in Ling Xiuyuan's words, felt that he was mocking him, and replied loudly, "Don't worry about it!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ling Xiuyuan, he shrugged his shoulders, turned to look at the rest of the people and asked, "What about you?"

In the Imperial Capital Academy, almost everyone expressed their intention to leave immediately, but some of them, like Liao Mingxuan, chose to go back the same way with Liao Mingxuan because of their family's influence.

Some people also listened to Ling Xiuyuan's suggestion and chose to leave in another direction. Only Mu Ningxue chose to stay.

And in the Pearl Academy, only Shen Mingxiao and Luo Song didn't even think about it, and quickly followed the team that returned from the Imperial Capital Academy, ready to go with them.

The two girls from Imperial Academy also chose to leave from another direction. Before leaving, Zhao Mingyue looked back at Mu Ningxue.Asked: "Captain, won't you go with us?"

Mu Ningxue looked away from Mo Fan, turned her head, and replied, "I still have something to deal with, you guys go first."

"Then...Captain, if you want to leave, you can catch up with us in this direction." Zhao Mingyue replied.

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand towards Mu Ningxue, and caught up with his companion who was walking in front.

Not long after, Peng Liang from Pearl Academy said "Sorry" to the people who stayed where they were, and caught up with the team that left from the other side.

After Peng Liang left, Ling Xiuyuan saw that the rest of the people did not intend to leave, so he asked in surprise, "Aren't you planning to leave?"

Everyone else shook their heads.

Mo Fan suddenly asked at this time: "Old Ling, you just made a gesture for me, what do you mean?"

"Oh, it's not interesting, even if you are asked to stay, you will be targeted by that group!" Ling Xiuyuan replied indifferently.

"what?"
