Chapter 849 - 425 The Story of the Spectral Saint Mage (Part 2)_2
Speaking to this point, the voice of the Spectral Saint Mage began to turn ice-cold, "However, Flo just didn’t understand her teacher’s painstaking efforts. She thought her teacher overvalued his modest abilities, refusing to impart the cultivation technique to her. She even left abruptly. The absolute certainty and its attraction that could affect even the gods were too great. She could no longer view it with a normal state of heart. She didn’t consider that if the teacher really held his technique in such high regard, he would not have mentioned it to her at all!"
"At that time, the teacher thought she was just acting on a whim and didn’t take it too seriously. He believed it would pass after she calmed down for a couple of days. Indeed, when the teacher went to look for her after two days, she seemed to have completely recovered, although she looked somewhat heavy-hearted. But her attitude towards the teacher was just as good as before. She didn’t mention what happened that day at all. However, what the teacher never expected was that this woman, with the heart of a serpent, had already planned her calculation against him."
"It was a clear day. The weather was very good, the sky was cloudless, and the sunlight was particularly abundant. The rich light element made the teacher, as a prodigy of Luminosity, feel very comfortable. The feeling of merging with the sunlight was extremely beautiful to him."
"Flo proposed a picnic to the teacher. He naturally agreed. He also told her that after the picnic, he would go into seclusion to break through to the 9th Rank. Once the teacher succeeded, he would request the monarch to decree their marriage and welcome her to his household. By then, he believed the monarch would at least bestow upon him an Earl’s title and the honor of Court Mage."
"They left Empire City and came to the outskirts. While they were enjoying the landscapes and water, suddenly, the teacher found they were surrounded. A large number of men in black blocked every possible escape route. These people even wrapped their heads with black cloth, leaving no skin exposed. As soon as they appeared, they launched a frenzied attack. At that moment, Flo seemed to be stunned, her cultivation approaching that of a Peak 8th Rank Mage, yet she seemed to have forgotten how to use magic. As a man, it was a given to protect one’s woman. Moreover, the teacher was very confident at that time. Relying on his Peak 8th Rank cultivation and the various powerful magic he had painstakingly researched, many of the men in black, although strong, were killed by him."
"But there kept coming more and more of them. Every one of them had a cultivation of at least the 7th Rank. The teacher felt it was very strange then. If these were people sent by the other two empires who had infiltrated, how could so many strong individuals remain undetected by the powerhouses of the Empire City? Continuing the battle would probably mean he and Flo could never escape. So, he made a decisive move and immediately broke through with Flo."
"At that moment, Flo seemed to have also come to her senses and began using various summoning magics to aid him. They rode her summoned beast towards Empire City to escape."
"Just when the teacher thought the enemies could no longer catch up, and they had broken through the encirclement, even seeing the distant walls of Empire City, suddenly, a chill invaded the teacher’s heart. When he looked down, he found a pitch-black dagger had been deeply stabbed into his chest. And the handle of the dagger was in Flo’s hands."
