Old Master Xia clearly wasn’t in the mood to continue listening to them. With a flash, he appeared in front of Zhou Wen like a devil and struck out at him.

The flames on his palm were like a blazing sun that burned everything. When Zhou Wen saw that the flames could even burn through the void, he immediately knew that it wasn’t an ordinary fire-elemental power. He didn’t dare take it head-on as he spread out his six wings and rapidly retreated.

However, a pair of Golden-Winged Roc Life Soul wings appeared behind Old Master Xia, greatly increasing his speed. Zhou Wen wasn’t able to open the distance between them, so the flames were about to strike his chest.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to slash out his Bamboo Blade at Old Master Xia’s palm.

When Bamboo Blade came into contact with the flames, the flames spread along Bamboo Blade and instantly enveloped his body.

The flames spewed out before extinguishing. The six wings on Zhou Wen’s back vanished as his face turned pale.

If not for Six-Winged’s Life Guardian, Zhou Wen would have died from this strike.

However, Six-Winged was also killed because of this, making it impossible for it to be revived.

“To think you have a Companion Beast that can die in your place. Your luck sure is extraordinary. However, your luck ends here.” Old Master Xia stared coldly at Zhou Wen, prepared to continue attacking.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, shocking everyone.

At some point in time, the sky was filled with dark clouds. Lightning flashed amidst the dark clouds.

Zhang Chunqiu, who was peeping outside, felt a sharp pain in his eyes. Blood tears flowed out of his eyes as he hurriedly retracted his Heavenly Eye. He didn’t dare look inside again as he looked at Forbidden City’s general direction in horror.

A storm was brewing above Forbidden City. The whole of Imperial Capital’s sky was covered in dark clouds, but Forbidden City seemed to be the center of the storm. It was especially gloomy.

Almost at the same time, Dugu Ge lost contact with his Gu worm. The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Up to now, they had yet to figure out what had happened in Forbidden City. They had some ideas based on what they had seen, but they didn’t know if they were right. However, just the mere speculation left them shocked.

“Do you know what’s going on?” Dugu Ge pointed at the dark clouds in the sky and asked.

Zhang Chunqiu pinched his fingers to divine. The more he did so, the more he shook his head. “The heavenly secrets are in chaos. Nothing can be divined. The outcome is different every time, so there’s no point in divining. From the looks of it, something big is about to happen. Let’s leave this place quickly to avoid being implicated.”

“What about Loser?” Dugu Ge asked.

“I’ve previously told his fortune. He’s not destined to die. He should be able to survive this calamity.” As Zhang Chunqiu spoke, he turned around and left, as though he was being chased by a dog. He was afraid that he would be bitten by a dog if he ran too slowly.

Dugu Ge glanced in the direction of Forbidden City before leaving with Zhang Chunqiu.

…

In Forbidden City, Zhou Wen summoned Torch Dragon and said to Xia Xuanyue and company, “Leave now.”

He knew that he could only risk his life. Otherwise, he might really not be able to leave Forbidden City today.
