The Great Ruler

Chapter 646 - Departure

Chapter 646 - Departure

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the third sun tore apart the darkness and shone onto this land, the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was once again filled with vitality. However, the atmosphere in the academy today was somewhat different compared to how it usually was.

Countless students were looking up at the most central peak of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. They could vaguely see a slender and towering figure.

Every single student already knew the news of Mu Chen leaving the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

They were looking at that youth basked in light with revere and admiration. He was the most dazzling figure in their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, seizing the glory for them in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

Although it was natural for youths to be prideful, towards Mu Chen, they felt admiration and respect from the depth of their hearts.

At the headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association, the eyes of the tens of thousands of members were a little dim. Both Mu Chen and Luo Li were the pillars of their Goddess Luo Association, and with the two of them leaving, it was a huge blow to their association.

However, they knew that right now, it was unsuitable for Mu Chen to stay in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. He needed a higher stage, and the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was too small for him.

Although they felt sad, it was extremely understandable.

On the training ground, Ye Qingling, Yu Xi and Su Ling'er raised their heads. That brat Yu Xi's eyes were a little red when she heard that Mu Chen was about to leave. She couldn't stop herself from crying like a kitten.

Up until now, she was sniffing her nose as tears gathered in her big eyes.

"Okay, stop crying." Ye Qingling gently rubbed her head as she smiled, "Didn't Mu Chen say before his departure that you will be the pillar of the Goddess Luo Association in the future? This is the responsibility he gave you. You definitely can't disappoint him."

Yu Xi rubbed her eyes as she heavily nodded her head. "Rest assured, Big Sister Ye, I will definitely not let the Goddess Luo Association decline. In the next Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, I will definitely seize the championship!"

"Ambitious." Ye Qingling gently smiled and raised her head, looking at that figure and wished in her heart, "Mu Chen, have a pleasant journey."

Up on the peak, Mu Chen was looking down at the enormous Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. The countless gazes were caught in his eyes as sadness from the departure rose in his heart.

Behind Mu Chen, Ling Xi walked up, her face was filled with a gentle smile as she stood before Mu Chen and lightly adjusted his clothes. "You must take care of yourself when you leave the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy."

Mu Chen looked at the beautiful face close to him and felt a little touched. He extended his hand and embraced Ling Xi's waist. He gave her a hug and soon let go.

"Big Sister Ling Xi, you must be careful as well. If you encounter any danger, then give up for the time being. I promise you that I will definitely rescue mother. At that time, no matter how dangerous it will be, I will protect both you and mother."

Ling Xi's figure stiffened for a brief moment from Mu Chen's actions, but when she heard Mu Chen's words, the corner of her eyes slightly turned red. She was touched as the emotion flowed in her eyes. She could feel the concern in Mu Chen's words.

She lightly nodded her head and shifted her glance towards Nine Nether, who was by his side and smiled, "Nine Nether, I apologise for picking on you some time ago. I hope you will not take it to heart."

Nine Nether was stunned as she apparently did not expect Ling Xi to take the initiative and apologise to her. In this instant, she felt a little bewildered. The expression on her face wasn't too natural. She waved her hand as she said, "No worries."

"In the future, I'd like to request you to take care of him." Ling Xi spoke in a soft tone.

Nine Nether nodded her head, "My life and his are linked together, I will definitely not let anything happen to him."

The Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang had also flown over at this moment. They looked at Mu Chen and smiled. "The Teleportation Spiritual Array has already been set up, it will send you out of the Northern Heavens Continent. If you need to go anywhere, search for big cities in other continents and use their Teleportation Spiritual Array."

"Thank you, Senior Northern Sea and Dean." Mu Chen looked in the sky behind him, there was a colossal Teleportation Spiritual Array.

The Skylaw Continent was exceptionally far, and even Sovereign experts would need half a year of the rushed journey to reach without using a Teleportation Spiritual Array. Furthermore, it was on the basis that there weren't any obstructions.

In between continents, they were either separated by vast oceans or dangers that even Sovereign experts would fear, some were also separated by spatial currents. Even Sovereign experts would face danger to pass through it.

"It's almost time, get going!"

Mu Chen inhaled a deep breath. Although he was reluctant to part, he did not procrastinate as he spoke to Nine Nether.

Nine Nether nodded her head, and the two of them appeared in the Teleportation Spiritual Array.

"Mu Chen, don't throw the face of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, no matter what. You'll always be considered the Numero Uno of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!" Far away, there was a loud voice as he saw Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong standing on air as they looked at him.

"Mu Chen, if the opportunity arises for us to meet again, don't be dragged down by us. If that is the case, we will definitely not be polite to you." A smile surfaced on Li Xuantong's handsome face as he spoke.

Mu Chen nodded his head towards the two.

"Big Brother Mu, have a safe journey!"

Innumerable voices rang out from the headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association. Countless members of the association all stood up as they bowed towards the direction of Mu Chen.

This was their respect for the founder of the Goddess Luo Association.

At the sight of that, Mu Chen felt sour in his nose. However, he did not speak as he shifted his gaze towards the Northern Sea Dragon and lightly nodding his head.

The Northern Sea Dragon sighed and nodded his head in response. He flicked his finger. A ray of Spiritual Energy shot into the Teleportation Spiritual Array, and in an instant, a brilliant light shone from it as space started to violently distort.

As his sight began to blur, Mu Chen knew that the teleportation would soon begin. He looked at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that was getting more fuzzier and softly said in his head, "Everyone, take care. We will meet again in the future."

Whoosh!

The intensity of the light in the Teleportation Spiritual Array reached the limits as space distorted into a vortex. As the suction force grew stronger, Mu Chen and Nine Nether had turned into two streaks of light as they dived into the spatial vortex and disappeared.

The Teleportation Spiritual Array up in the sky gradually dimmed down. The violent spatial fluctuations also slowly calmed down and restored peace to the sky. However, the two figures had already disappeared.

The entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was in silence as the atmosphere became extremely gloomy.

Looking at this sight, Dean Tai Cang helplessly sighed. In the past, when other famous students left, there wasn't one situation that caused the entire academy to be so gloomy.

"That kid's… charisma was that great?"

Dean Tai Cang smiled as he shook his head. However, he did not boost the atmosphere intentionally as he knew that this gloominess would gradually fade as time passed.

Perhaps, when another brilliant student appears in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen's influence will fade. However… is it possible to wait for someone that can surpass Mu Chen?

As he thought about it, Dean Tai Cang sighed in pity. But, along with feeling regret, there was also a trace of expectation in his heart. He wanted to know the height of this youth that walked out of their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Perhaps it will be as they expected when he returned to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy once again, his strength might have already resounded throughout the Great Thousand World.

Ling Xi quietly stood on the peak as she looked at the location in which Mu Chen left for a long time without a word. Dean Tai Cang and the rest did not interrupt her as they quietly left.

Ling Xi stood for an entire day, until the night enveloped her, before she recovered. She looked at the vast Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. It was the same scenery, but for some reason, something was lacking and felt dull.

She turned around, returned to the courtyard that she resided in and came before the tightly shut bamboo house. She pushed the door open and went in. In the tidy bamboo house, hung a portrait with a soft female silhouette that made others feel at ease in their hearts.

She looked at the portrait as she smiled, "Aunt Jing, Mu Chen has already left… He's very outstanding, no wonder he is Aunt Jing's son. But, I will not be able to follow him. I will definitely find you, Aunt Jing."

"No matter who is he, I will definitely not let him off for sealing my memories!" Ling Xi clenched her fist as cold killing intent surged in her eyes.

"Aunt Jing, I will definitely rescue you!"

Ling Xi strode forth as she carefully stored the portrait and left the bamboo house. She looked at this place that she has resided in for a long time.

"Big Sister Ling Xi."

Sun'er's shy voice resounded as she stood in the courtyard, looking at Ling Xi with her eyes reddened, "You are also leaving?"

Ling Xi strode forth as she hugged Sun'er and smiled, "Yeah, Big Sister Ling Xi has some things to do. Sun'er, after I leave, you cannot stop your cultivation. Otherwise, I will punish you when I return."

Sun'er hugged Ling Xi tightly as she nodded. "Big Sister Ling Xi, will you and Big Brother Mu Chen return in the future?"

Ling Xi gently rested her pearly-white chin on Sun'er's head as she answered, "Rest assured, we will all return…"

Sun'er no longer spoke as she obediently sunk into Ling Xi's embrace. Moonlight shone down as the white-dressed girl slightly raised her head. The moon shone a light curve on her face. It became the most gorgeous night scene in the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

And from this night forth, students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would realise that the beauty that was young yet holding an Elder spot, Ling Xi, had quietly left.

She did not disturb anyone else, and when she left, only her back silhouette was still that gorgeous.
