An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 584 Inquiry

"The ship can fly?"

Xu Fu was slightly taken aback, then his expression turned serious.

It's a spirit boat!

This is something that small sects and minor factions cannot produce. Even the renowned Fengling Sect only has spirit boats used within the sect.

"Who is it?!"

Xu Fu immediately thought of several forces, but he still couldn't determine who they were.

I've been away from the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy for quite some time now, and I don't know if the Yin-Yang Demon Subduing Formation that the purple-robed man cast back then has been broken.

If not, then the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy will probably face another great calamity!

"Let's go!"

Thinking of this, Xu Fu immediately called Li Wuji to set off. He had no time to delay any longer. Qinglong was in trouble, and he couldn't just stand by and watch him die!

After storing the elixir, the crossbow, and the box of jewels in his Qiankun bag, Xu Fu asked Yu Dajiang for a ship.

Yu Dajiang naturally obeyed without question, directly choosing the largest boat for Xu Fu and even "thoughtfully" arranging several skilled boatmen for him.

Urged on by Xu Fu, the large ships sailed day and night, and arrived at Donghai City in just two days.

The two went ashore, and the boat was left to the discretion of the other people.

Before even entering the city gate, Xu Fu sensed that Donghai City was much more bustling than before.

People were coming and going everywhere, and many vendors even set up their stalls outside the city gates, turning some spacious open spaces into what looked like a market.

This reminded Xu Fu of the scene when he participated in the Spirit Academy Competition, but his feelings then were very different from now.

Who is the mastermind behind this?

Xu Fu thought about many things along the way.

According to Shi Jiu'an, those few from Qilin Shangling Academy have all been captured.

The leader of the Dan Alliance also perished.

The Heavenly Sword Sect suffered considerable losses in the previous battle, but it shouldn't be time to fight to the death.

In the end, Xu Fu felt that the most likely explanation was that ancient and mysterious sect—

Tianji Sect!

He was unparalleled in his ingenuity, yet very few of his disciples roamed the world, and even in books, there were few records of him.

Xu Fu was so suspicious for one reason: he had witnessed the Creation Divine Ship of the Heavenly Mystery Sect and the controlled dragon before, and this was only the strength that the mysterious sect had shown in that battle.

The second is the large crossbow in Xu Fu's Qiankun bag.

On the way, Xu Fu disassembled part of the large crossbow and discovered that two spirit stones were inlaid on both sides of the crossbow.

It was these two spirit stones that provided the crossbow with spiritual power, greatly enhancing the lethality of the crossbow bolts.

This must be the work of the Heavenly Mystery Sect!

If the mastermind behind this is indeed the Tianji Sect, then that makes sense.

After all, the dragon they controlled was trapped on Hundred Flowers Island, and no one would be willing to give it up. They would definitely try every means to get it back!

Xu Fu made no attempt to hide any of these thoughts from Li Wuji.

However, Li Wuji did not seem worried about the upcoming battle. On the contrary, he could not hide his excitement when he heard that he could see the dragon and the savior ship.

Seeing that there were many people around, the two put on straw hats to cover their faces.

At this time, Donghai City was filled with people from all over the country, and there were people dressed in strange costumes everywhere. The two of them were completely inconspicuous in their attire.

"Hey! You bastard, you're here too!"

"You're the bastard! It's rare to find such a big piece of meat, how could I not take a bite?"

"I've heard that the island is teeming with magical creatures, is that true?"

"After all, they are one of the four great spiritual academies, so they must have a lot of good stuff!"

"And the girls inside, I've heard they're all incredibly beautiful!"

"..."

As Xu Fu walked along, he listened to people from other places speaking in various accents discussing things loudly.

These people no longer shy away from the fact that they want to "rob" the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy; they even take it for granted, as if the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy is a no-man's land.

"A bunch of scoundrels!"

Xu Fu clenched his fist, but it was pulled back by a slightly cool little hand.

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"

Li Wuji's words calmed Xu Fu down.

That's right! Their goal is to find out who's behind this. If they alert the mastermind just to teach a few "scoundrels" a lesson, it would be a huge loss.

Xu Fu slowly loosened his clenched fist, nodded to Li Wuji, and the two walked side by side.

Seeing the streets filled with people carrying large crossbows, Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Normally, the chosen ones of the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy wouldn't have to fear these things at all; they could simply take out a protective magic weapon, and this crossbow wouldn't be able to break through.

But now...

If the seal set by that purple-robed man hasn't been broken yet, then things will get really troublesome!

After all, without spiritual power, even a low-grade magic weapon cannot be activated.

"What did you find?" Xu Fu was still worrying about how to deal with these large crossbows when he vaguely heard Li Wuji sniffling. He quickly leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"It smells like medicine! Everyone smells it on them!"

Li Wuji's voice revealed his displeasure.

"is it?"

Xu Fu quietly approached a passerby, sniffed carefully, and indeed smelled a familiar fragrance of elixir.

"Mighty Pill!"

"Iron Skin Pill!"

The two men said the names of the two pills almost simultaneously.

Although these two kinds of elixirs are not top-grade, taking out so many of them at once means a lot of money has been spent!

Most importantly, which power could supply such a massive quantity of elixirs all at once?

Dan League!

Besides Danmeng, Xu Fu couldn't think of a second one.

However, if they were going to such lengths just for some spiritual objects, Xu Fu felt that their purpose was probably not as simple as just wanting to obtain the spiritual objects from Hundred Flowers Island.

Regardless of their purpose, the mastermind behind this must know the current predicament of the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy, which is why they dared to gather these people to attack Azure Dragon.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the seal on the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy is most likely still intact.

The students and teachers of Qinglong Academy have just experienced a great battle and are now sealed by the Yin-Yang Demon Subduing Array. The entire Qinglong Upper Spirit Academy is probably at its most vulnerable since its founding.

Furthermore, the Iron Skin Pill and the Mighty Strength Pill can greatly enhance a cultivator's combat power, and there is also a large crossbow whose power is comparable to a low-grade magic weapon.

With this alternating rise and fall, Xu Fu helplessly realized that the Azure Dragon's chances of winning were extremely slim.

"Brother! I just arrived, why isn't anyone here to greet me?"

Xu Fu searched for a while but had no clue, so he randomly stopped a passerby and asked for information.

"You're here to participate in the 'Dragon Slaying Gathering' too?"

When the passerby turned around, Xu Fu realized that the other person had a very youthful face and looked even younger than him.

"Ah? Ah!"

Xu Fu paused for a moment before realizing what the "Dragon Slaying Society" meant, and quickly responded.

"Then where is your dragon-slaying crossbow?" the boy questioned.

"Don't tell me it was stolen or robbed, I don't believe it!"

"Don't think I don't know, you just want to go to the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy to pick up melon scraps!" the young man said with certainty.
