Several hours ago, the academy received a report from Lei Zhu.
The recorded message was summarising the entire situation and asking for help to subdue the Queen.
The academy didn't need to think twice, since their demotion from being a sect to an academy they had to help those mortals who were working for them by protecting them. So they sent a group of expert traveling with flying beasts towards the mountains where the mine was located.
" How much time till we reach the location? " the green robbed old man asked
A youth in his twenties responded. " It should be soon enough Senior "
Normally the travel to the mines should take at the very least 3 days, but since the experts were riding the flying beasts whos speed exceeded 50 times the speed of a horse, they only took hours before reaching the destination.
After some minutes, the flying beasts descended to the location where Xu Ten's group was.
" Here they are! " The youth pointed to their location.
----------------------------------------
Qianli didn't have time to think about the seed or see the changes that occurred to her body. She sensed a group of people coming to their direction.
" Someone is coming! "
The group immediately raised their guard, it was only after they saw the people riding the flying beast they heaved a relieved sigh.
The group descended to the ground and then walked to meet them.
The red-haired alchemist screamed " MAAASTEEER!!! "
He ran toward the green robbed man, but at the next moment the old man punched him in the face and started cursing.
" You damn brat! HOW DARE YOU GO NEGLECT YOUR STUDIES AND GO PLAYING AROUND!!! "
The red-haired alchemist put a seemingly sad expression on his face and said " Master i... I almost died!!! Why aren't you happy to ... AH, Aïe Aïe.... it hurts! "
The old man pinched his ears and rebuked " You should've died then!!! It will make me less worried you piece of sh*t! "
Seeing this scene everyone could only awkwardly smile at this two shameless duo, like master like disciple, they resembled each other a lot.
" Anyway master, it's good that you are here. Please help brother Dugu!!! "
The old man turned around to see the fat boy lying on the ground and examined his body with a single glance, then he said "What's wrong? He doesn't seem to be hurt anywhere, are you perhaps.... making fun of me?! "
The old man pinched again the red-haired alchemist
" No no, it's true, a few seconds earlier he... " The alchemist Tong didn't continue his sentence when he saw that the poisonous wound already healed with no trace left behind, he was surprised.

Xun Ten then said " Hem... Seniors, did you come here from the academy because of the message we sent you earlier? "
One of the youths in the group responded " Yes, where are the mines? "
Xu Ten then responded " There is no need, it's already been taken care of. "
The group of expert didn't understand what he meant, then Xu Ten continued
" Let me explain exactly what happened ...."
----------------------------------------
The group of expert entered the mine together to examine the report of Xu Ten and rescue the rest of the captives.
The old man followed by two youths were casually observing the corpse of the Queen. He then opened his mouth and said
" Incredible! "
One of the youths asked " How did they manage to come up with such a plan? "
The old man responded with a serious expression " It should not be possible for them to defeat it, let alone kill it unless some unexpected event happened here.... "
The other youth who was calmly observing the corpse noticed the wounded leg, he approached and touched the edge of the leg and his fingers started to hurt, he then used some of his Qi to dissipate the leftover of Qianli's corrosive Qi.
The old man noticed his movements and asked " Liu Fei, did you find something? "
The other youth who was examining the wounded leg was none other than Liu Fei the one who fought against the black shadow in the old mansion or to be more exact it was the black shadow who now possessed his body.
He turned around and said " Nothing at all! "
He laughed inwardly
I finally found you, little girl... Your power... haha you really are interesting!
I will first capture you then I'll make sure to feed on the boy with divine blood...
The old man then said in a serious tone
" Either way, they have completed the mission perfectly, we will return to the academy after we free the kids and the women, then we will discuss this in the assembly of elders. "
" Yes, senior!"
----------------------------------------
On the way back to the academy, Xu Ten's group traveled with the expert on the flying beasts.
The old man who was chit-chatting with his disciple suddenly turned around and asked Qianli
" Little girl, my disciple here told me about those incredible pill recipes you taught him. I'm curious, where did you learn them from? "
Qianli could only awkwardly smile and responded " My apologies seniors, I cannot say. "
Qianli disliked lying very much, once you tell a lie you step on a road with no return, or so as her master often said....
It's better sometimes to tell half-truths while concealing the other half to avoid problems.
The old man didn't mind at all her attitude, he said " Don't worry, if you can't say they don't. I'm just curious, in which department are you studying? "
Qianli said " The formation and sealing department "
The old man turned around and mumbled with a small voice " I see... Hmph, old Bai... We will see whether you win or I win... "
Qianli didn't understand what he was saying, she ignored him and sat down to contemplate the view while traveling in the air...
----------------------------------------
Finally, after they reached Orlen, the group descended from the back of the giant flying beasts and walked to the academy.
Dugu who was unconscious most of the time, woke up while they were descending. He barely had memories of what happened after he was hit by the spider.
Arriving at the central hall, they bid farewell to each other.
" Well then, I hope that I will see each one of you next time, don't forget to call for me! " The red-haired alchemist said, then departed with his master.
Dugu and Yao Lan went together soon after that to somewhere in private, the group smiled seeing them walk shoulder by shoulder.
The ones left were Xu Ten, Lei Zhu, and Qianli
" Qianli, I will go with brother Lei take care of the mission report, you should go and rest for now.... "
Qianli nodded
Xu Ten turned around before leaving and said with a beaming smile
" Also... thank you.. for everything you've done for us... "
Qianli smiled and cupped her hands.
....
Just as she was about to leave the hall, she saw someone familiar coming running toward her.
It was none other than Pang Yu!
He had a weird expression on his face.
He talked without catching his breath " Qianli...thank god you are here!! "
Qianli asked " Senior brother Pang, what is it? "
Pang Yu caught his breath and said " Xiao Feng! He... He collapsed two days ago!! "
