“Senior brothers, what's today's date?” Nangong Hao turned towards the two disciples and asked.
“What's… The date?!” the two disciples were startled by his question. They glanced at each other and noticed an obvious change in each other's expression.
Unsurprised by their reactions, Nangong Hao nodded and continued, “It's pretty hot, so I suppose it's summer, right?”
“Yup, it's two months away from Double Ninth Festival!” A disciple replied to him without thinking.
“Two months… Double Ninth Festival?” Nangong Hao nodded again before paying his respect to the two senior brothers again. Then, he turned around and took a few steps towards the Heaven Receiving Door and placed his hand on it.
Crack!
The Heaven Receiving Door trembled and closed again as if it was moved by a tremendous force.
“It… It closed?!”
“What's, what's going… On?”
The two disciples were shocked by what they saw. After all, they had seen how Mu Qingfeng, Chi Guyan, and Fang Zhengzhi closed the Heaven Receiving Door.
Yet… Nangong Hao managed to close it easily with a gentle tap just now?
This scene summoned their memories of the incident that took place in Heaven Dao Pavilion several months ago, which only took place because Nangong Hao used the Blood Offering Ill.u.s.tration.
The Heaven Receiving Door only appeared in Heaven Dao Pavilion because of the Bloor Offering Ill.u.s.tration too.
Most importantly, Nangong Hao attacked Nine Pinnacles Mountain Leader, Tian Xing. It happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. It remained a mystery even till today.
No one knew why Nangong Hao did that, but it was certain that he wasn't following Heaven Dao Pavilion's orders.
Rumble!
While the disciples were deep in their thoughts, the ground shook, following which, the Heaven Receiving Door, which was standing right at the center of Heaven Academic Altar, disappeared without a trace.
“It's gone?!”
“Nangong Hao….Is controlling the Heaven Receiving Door?”
The disciples intuitively took a few steps back. They seemed terrified when they looked at him again.
Nangong Hao didn't seem he wanted to wait any longer after doing that. He turned and walked towards the two disciples.
One step, two steps…
Nangong Hao wasn't walk too quickly, but he wasn't too slow either.
He soon reached the two disciples, before he turned and went past them. He was headed towards the sword peak.
The two disciples were drenched in sweat at this moment.
They were frozen solid from fear during the entire process.
“Nangong Hao, you can't leave!” When Nangong Hao was already five steps away from them, one of the disciples finally said something.
It wasn't because he had overcome his fear. It was his responsibility reminding him that he couldn't let Nangong Hao have this place.
After all, Nangong Hao's motive for attacking Tian Xing remained a mystery.
Most importantly, Nangong Hao was carrying the Heaven Receiving Door. Since they were tasked with guarding the door, how could they watch as Nangong Hao took the door away?
“Junior brother Nangong, the Sixth elder would be here soon. You'd best have an explanation for him. At the very least, could you tell us what have happened in the Heaven Receiving Door while you were inside?” another disciple gritted his teeth and asked.
He pulled out his sword at the same time and pointed its chilling tip towards Nangong Hao's neck.
“That's right, junior brother Nangong. After all, we were once fellow disciples. You could tell us if you are facing any problems… The master and Sixth elder would definitely be able to h.e.l.l you!” the other disciple added.
Nangong Hao stopped walking at this moment. Then, he slowly turned around and looked at the two disciples. He was just watching them silently without any excessive movements.
However, in the two disciples' eyes, Nangong Hao had turned into a completely different person.
He was cold and creepy.
A b.l.o.o.d.y radiance was flickering in his right eye continuously. They started spreading around like ripples, with Nangong Hao at the center.
Then… They saw a flash of red light.
He was so fast that it seemed like he teleported in front of them. They also saw a long sword with a pelt as clear as snow in the midst of the red radiance.
It was crystal clear like a piece of jade.
