OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 27 - 26: The Black Vortex

As the opening of the Forbidden Land drew closer, Shi Nian realized that the Token she had thrown into the Storage Bag was beginning to glow faintly red. And day by day, it turned even redder. When the color finally became blood red, that would mark the official opening of the Forbidden Land.

This time, to prepare items for Mu Nanqing, the Ling Tian Sword Master secluded himself for half a month, personally concocting several bottles of Elixirs. Later, he even brought Lu Zhuoyan into closed-door cultivation with him.

Lu Zhuoyan had considerable skill in Artifact Refining, which was perfect for further enhancing Mu Nanqing's weapons.

Because the materials the Ling Tian Sword Master had prepared this time were quite precious and more difficult to work with, it wasn't until the day the Forbidden Land opened that the two barely managed to finish on time.

The day the Forbidden Land opened.

Early in the morning.

The Ling Tian Sword Master summoned all his Disciples to come.

He hadn't shown himself for nearly a month, and upon sending the message today, everyone hurried over at once.

In front of the bamboo house.

The Ling Tian Sword Master stood with the wind at his back.

He seemed alright, merely a little weary.

Lu Zhuoyan, on the other hand, looked terrible.

His face was pale, and his blood-spitting appearance was even more exaggerated than before.

The Ling Tian Sword Master felt a bit guilty: "Zhuoyan, I've troubled you."

Lu Zhuoyan offered a weak smile: "Brother, it's nothing. Just a small matter."

In his arms, the little yellow creature cast a puzzled glance at its master.

Hmm?

Its master's condition was clearly getting better every day.

So why did he still seem so weak?

Could it be...

Had its Healing Skills regressed?

Determined, the little yellow creature resolved to work even harder to improve itself.

"Ah. Brother, I owe you a favor," said the Ling Tian Sword Master, patting Lu Zhuoyan's shoulder.

"My brother's Disciples are my Disciples too, don't mention anything about owing favors," Lu Zhuoyan said with a laugh.

The Ling Tian Sword Master was even more touched.

Lu Zhuoyan's eyes flickered slightly.

He couldn't resist his cravings a few days ago and stealthily drank all the fine wine his brother had stored. His brother had just emerged from seclusion and hadn't yet discovered it, but given the current situation, he would probably slide by even if it was discovered, right?

After all, he had made himself "weak" for the sake of Mu Nanqing!

The Ling Tian Sword Master, looking at his puzzled Disciples, sighed and then said, "Nanqing, come forward."

Mu Nanqing pursed her lips and stepped in front of the Ling Tian Sword Master.

The Ling Tian Sword Master handed her a Storage Bag, saying, "Inside, I've prepared various Elixirs for you, especially wound-healing ones which I've devoted the most effort to. Take your time checking the other Elixirs. But there is one Reviving Pill that is exceptionally important. There are only three in total, but each one can restore all your Mana in an instant. They could save your life at a critical moment, so make sure you keep them safe."

Mu Nanqing's eyes reddened slightly as she softly replied, "Yes, Master."

Everyone except Shi Nian was somewhat puzzled.

Why would the Master suddenly prepare life-saving elixirs for his senior Disciple?

The Divine Martial Sect was quite safe, after all.

"This is your usual sword. Your uncle and I have incorporated some rare materials into it, elevating it to the level of an Upper Class Magic Treasure. Combined with the Defense Magical Treasure your uncle gave you before, you now have the ultimate offense and defense in terms of weaponry," the Ling Tian Sword Master said as he took out the upgraded treasure sword.

Mu Nanqing silently took it.

The Ling Tian Sword Master sighed, "Master can only do so much for you. Nanqing, you must... come back alive."

Mu Nanqing didn't say a word.

But she knelt down.

And sincerely began to kowtow to the Ling Tian Sword Master.

The Ling Tian Sword Master did not stop her but watched in silence.

After kowtowing three times, Mu Nanqing finally spoke with trembling voice, "Master, your Disciple..."

The Ling Tian Sword Master shook his head, "No need to speak further. You will always be my proudest Disciple."

Something was clearly amiss with the conversation between the Ling Tian Sword Master and Mu Nanqing.

All but Shi Nian changed their expressions.

Lu Xingzhi's face grew pale as he recalled something.

He remembered.

Today.

Was the day the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land opened.

Seeing his Master and senior Disciple like this, could it be that his senior Disciple was...

No, that couldn't be possible.

Why would a genius like her seek fortune in the Forbidden Land!

"Master..." Lu Xingzhi took a step forward, about to ask.

At that moment.

A Token suddenly floated out of Mu Nanqing's Storage Bag.

The Token was already the color of blood.

Lu Xingzhi's face whitened.

Now, there was no need to ask.

His senior Disciple... was truly going to the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land!

Yun Jian and Lin Tiantian couldn't help but change their expressions dramatically.

But they weren't given time to react.

Above the Divine Martial Sect, a gigantic vortex suddenly appeared.

The vortex covered the skies, turning daylight into night in an instant.

At this moment.

Anyone who looked up on this continent could only see endless darkness.

This was the handiwork of the Immortal Land.

Capable of changing day to night.

Capable of altering the universe.

Those who hold the Token will be drawn to this vortex, slowly drifting towards it until they enter the vortex and reach the Forbidden Land.

The Ling Tian Sword Master looked at this vortex and sighed.

If there was any other way, he would not let his own disciple go to such a place.

But.

When he found out that Mu Nanqing had already dripped blood onto the Token, he knew that everything was irreversible.

Otherwise, he would rather risk his life than fight his senior brother!

"Master," Mu Nanqing said softly, "Disciple is leaving."

The Ling Tian Sword Master nodded.

Mu Nanqing then turned to her junior brothers and sisters. Her gaze was complex, as if hiding thousands of emotions. She said softly, "Junior brothers and sisters, take good care of Master. Wait for my return."

Lu Xingzhi's face was pale.

The hand holding Yun Jian was trembling non-stop.

Lin Tiantian broke down and cried on the spot.

Everyone watched in despair as Mu Nanqing slowly flew towards the vortex.

"Shi Nian, I..." Lin Tiantian turned her head, wanting to cry in Shi Nian's embrace.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

In front of Shi Nian, a Token was also floating!

Shi Nian had been hiding behind them all this time, and everyone's attention had been on Mu Nanqing, so no one had noticed.

"Shi Nian, you... you are going to the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land too?" Lin Tiantian was completely panicked.

What?

Everyone suddenly turned their gaze to Shi Nian.

Shi Nian showed an awkward smile; her sister was almost drawn into the vortex, but she was still standing stably on the ground.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Shi Nian even felt...

If she wanted, she could... resist this attraction.

But why resist?

Shi Nian gave up resisting and allowed herself to float up as well.

"Little Nian, you! You must be crazy!" The Ling Tian Sword Master's expression changed drastically.

In the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, Mu Nanqing might still have a glimmer of hope.

But for Shi Nian, it was tantamount to certain death!

No Qi Refinement Realm disciple has ever returned alive from the Forbidden Land since its opening.

Shi Nian gave a pleasing smile to the Ling Tian Sword Master: "Master, don't worry. I've always been lucky since I was a child. You can rest assured, I will definitely come back."

The Ling Tian Sword Master's lips trembled non-stop, unable to utter a single word.

Mu Nanqing, seeing Shi Nian also floating over, was greatly shaken.

Her expression was complex: "Junior sister, you shouldn't have made such a decision."

"I can't let senior sister face the risk alone." Shi Nian's brows and eyes were curved with determination.

At this moment, it was too late for anything else.

All Mu Nanqing could do was try to grab Shi Nian's hand, so that they could land in the same place, and she could protect Shi Nian.

Lu Zhuoyan watched this touching display of Sect loyalty and couldn't help but blink his eyes.

It was moving, so very moving.

He would definitely pray for them within the Sect.

He looked at the vortex, curious.

This was his second time witnessing this scene.

How exactly did this vortex come to be, he suddenly wondered?

With a death-wish in his heart that couldn't be suppressed, Lu Zhuoyan secretly sent out a strand of Mana, probing towards the vortex.

As soon as his Mana touched the vortex.

The next moment.

The vortex exploded like a tornado had descended.

"It's him!"

"He has appeared!"

"Seize him!"

Countless ancient voices roared inside the vortex.

Lu Zhuoyan: "???"

This should have nothing to do with him, right?

It should, shouldn't it?

But why suddenly feel guilty, and for what reason?
