The snow was blown off the ground and drifted around him like a pair of invisible wings. His wounded body was supported and pushed forward, and then like a flurry of snow, he left the Stone Array Tactics for Chang'an City.

The Abbey Dean frowned slightly, and he was surprised.

In the south of the city was the Stone Array Tactics, it might look limitless but that was an actual blockage.

This might be troubling for him, and it would be even more troubling for the opponent of his.

But since the Academy had come up with the way to break the Limitless State, surely it would have subsequent moves, so he ignored the crushed snowflakes on him, and waited for the Academy's next move.

However, the Academy did nothing but retreat into Chang'an City.

In that case, he had to go into the city as well.

To get into the city, he had to break the Stone Array Tactics blocking before him.

The Abbey Dean waved his sleeves and blew off a thousand clouds of snow drifting in the air.

On the roadside of the state highway, a huge stone weighing tons was blown off the ground by the sleeve and fell onto a piece of farm field further away.

As he waved his sleeves again, more huge stones flew away.

He walked towards the city gate.

As he walked, his sleeves waved like floating clouds, destroying the rocks and the array all along the way.

How to destroy the Stone Array Tactics?

When Ke Haoran entered the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine, he destroyed it with his sword.

The Abbey Dean destroyed it with his sleeves.

That didn't mean that the Abbey Dean was more powerful than Ke Haoran. The point was, the Great Blockage Formation in the south of Chang'an City was far less powerful than the one at the bottom of Daming Lake.

As the leader of Haotian Taoism, he had done a deep research on the Devil's Doctrine. And he knew that a real Stone Array Tactics should be a complete world made up of stubborn rocks. Thought there might be thousands of stubborn rocks in the south of the city, they didn't form up a word.

If they didn't form up a world, then they must've left spaces.

Where there is space, people would be able to pass and find more space.

Continuous sound of falling rocks rang out of the city. The storm and snow gradually stopped, and the man in black had walked far.

On the city wall, Mo Shanshan paled, with snow in her hair and blood at the corner of her lips.

The Abbey Dean destroyed the Stone Array Tactics by casually waving his sleeves. He was as relaxed as when he was walking in his own backyard.

Inside the southern gate was Chang'an City.

There was no one on Vermilion Bird Avenue. It was quieter than ever, and the snow kept falling.

The Abbey Dean strolled along Vermilion Bird Avenue, looking relaxed.

Like a normal visitor, he looked at the buildings on both sides of the street; the embossment revealed by the snow in the middle of the street, the black eaves and the roofs with snow on them.

”So this is what Chang'an City really looks like.”

Many years ago, when he was still a kid, he visited Chang'an with the elders in his family, but that was so long ago that he had already forgotten what the city exactly looked like.

Later he started cultivating and hadn't been to Chang'an ever since.

He cultivated and became powerful; that might be part of the reason why he was not welcomed in Chang'an City. Another important reason was the Headmaster, who had been staying in the Academy in the south of the city.

People always took what they couldn't get as the best.

That was the truth in cultivation, romance, and all other things.

So he liked Chang'an City very much.

But unfortunately, the city couldn't possibly belong to him, so he was going to destroy it.

He had thought about the city for many years.

Just as well, he had been planning to destroy it for many years.

He had finally entered the city today.

He was surely full of emotions.

He looked into the snowing sky and said, ”If you can see the scene here from above there, will you regret leaving the world too early?”

At this moment, a cicada suddenly chirped on Vermilion Bird Avenue.

The snowflakes falling into the city from high above looked reflecting, like the wings of cicadas.

It was winter now and the first snow was falling, so where did the cicada chirping come from?

The Abbey Dean inclined his ear to listen, and finally seriousness emerged in his eyes.

When the guy was sure that the Stone Array Tactics couldn't stop the Abbey Dean, he made the quick decision to retreat into Chang'an City, and prepared to take advantage of the power of the city. An ordinary man couldn't possibly make a decision like that.

The Abbey Dean was sure that someone interesting was waiting for him in the city.

But still he was surprised because the guy was incredibly interesting.

This must be the trump card of the Academy.

”There was a kind of cicada in the arid land of the far west. The cicadas had been hiding amid the mud for a whole 23 years periods. It was not till the time when the Snow Mountain began to melt its snow and the flood started to arrive that the cicadas began to wake up and regain their consciousness. While showering in the muddy water and drying their wings in chilly winds, in the end, they fluttered to fly out of the void.”

The Abbey stared at the storm and snow at the end of the long street, saying calmly, ”Of course you're here, too.”

The snowy clouds became thicker and blocked the sky. The bleak chirp of winter cicadas echoed in Chang'an City.

A girl arrived with the storm and snow.
