BACKLANDS

The moment Theon walked into the building, he felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

His breath caught as he looked around the house. The broken wooden ceiling that was previously falling apart was now replaced with stone and metal.

Although it was nothing like the others, it currently looked like somewhere temperature could actually be regulated.

Amidst the expansive hall, two giant stone pillars now stood, holding up the building.

If he added the four pillars he found outside,

    Theon prided himself on being calm and rational in the midst of pressure. After all, what kind of problem had he not encountered?However, at this moment, he was visibly agitated, unable to stop himself from shaking.This level of viciousness. Normally, Solvyn had no bottom line, but this... it left even him speechless and flustered.He inhaled deeply and straightened to his full height, his eyes hardening.“Moaning about my situation is useless. I've never been the type to let others decide my fate. I won't start now.”He slowly looked around him. The windows had been repaired, and a special metal one had been added in the place of the previously rotting wood.This type creaked anytime it was being opened. So Theon couldn't leave or sneak out for missions or to spy on things without alerting another person.“System, apart from tainting the mind, what else does this formation do? Also, Old man Lu would be returning soon…”“Don't you worry. This formation has no effects on mortals. It

    BACKLANDSThe moment Theon walked into the building, he felt a cold shiver run down his spine. His breath caught as he looked around the house. The broken wooden ceiling that was previously falling apart was now replaced with stone and metal. Although it was nothing like the others, it currently looked like somewhere temperature could actually be regulated. Amidst the expansive hall, two giant stone pillars now stood, holding up the building. If he added the four pillars he found outside, this would make it six pillars. Six? He scoffed. Six was one of the perfect numbers used in designing slaughtering formations. And he actually used six pillars as the base of the building. How incredibly thoughtful. Theon walked closer to one of the pillars. “Host, stop.” The system's urgent voice halted his movements. Theon's already outstretched arm about to touch the pillar paused, hovering mid air. “Beneath the plaster, there are blood sigils. Don't touch it.”Theon chuckled and arche

    Xiao Lingxiao made another desperate effort to dash forward.She couldn't.The artifact's power was simply too overwhelming. With her current Soul Formation cultivation, she could not forcibly disable it without suffering a severe backlash. The moment she tried to resist, the invisible force dragging her away became even stronger, leaving her with no choice but to retreat.Her hands trembled violently.She felt her eyes sting, and for a brief moment, the fear she'd been desperately suppressing threatened to spill over.Lingxiao inhaled deeply. She closed her eyes and slowly counted to ten.“He's uncle Ren's son. A dragon’s cub doesn't eat grass. He's definitely okay.” She muttered, giving herself pep talks.Her voice sounded much less convincing than she would have liked.“Besides, the energy just now when he tried to strangle me was pretty powerful. He definitely has cultivation.”She nodded repeatedly, as though trying to convince herself rather than anyone else.Yes. Theon seemed

    Xiao Lingxiao stared at Theon's rapidly receding back. His silhouette looked unbearably lonely beneath the canopy of trees, and an inexplicable pang of sadness tightened around her heart.Her fingers slowly curled into fists.The Divine Flame Whip resting in her right hand radiated waves of scorching heat, while the nails of her left hand dug so deeply into her palm that they broke the skin, drawing thin lines of blood.She drew a slow breath before taking several hesitant steps after him.Only after confirming that Theon had continued walking without looking back did she quietly retreat into the shadows once more.Xiao Lingxiao concealed her aura with a concealment technique, suppressing every trace of her presence before silently following behind him.Every step she took was careful, every breath restrained. Even the movement of her robes seemed to disappear into the forest.Suddenly, Theon stopped.His head slowly turned.Lingxiao's heart skipped violently.Without hesitation, she

    Xiao Lingxiao’s brows furrowed. Through the dense canopy of trees, she could just make out the silhouette of a lone building tucked away in the heart of the forest.“Why's he here? This looks like a forest. Unlike anything I've seen in the other parts of the academy.” Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully as she studied the path ahead.If she took only a few more steps, she would catch up to him.She let out a soft sigh and increased her speed.By then, Theon had already noticed he was being followed. Instead of hurrying away, he intentionally slowed his pace.“Theon Dravorn!” she called the instant she finally caught up to him.His footsteps gradually slowed before coming to a stop. “Why are you here?”Lingxiao quickly circled around him and stopped a few meters away, cutting off his path.She took a deep breath before staring directly into his eyes, her gaze filled with unmistakable sincerity.“I'm Xiao Lingxiao. If I say I can do it, I definitely will.”She extended an arm before him, str

    The girl’s face rapidly flushed crimson, her eyes widening with unrestrained shock.Theon’s nostrils flared ever so slightly as he struggled to cage the fury surging through his veins.Xiao Lingxiao soon snapped out of her daze. Her feet were already leaving the ground as Theon effortlessly lifted her into the air.Instead of fear, her eyes sparkled with unconcealed excitement. She immediately grabbed hold of Theon’s forearm with both hands and gave it a firm squeeze, her teeth gritting together as her fingers tightened.More and more people were beginning to gather.Theon's eyes flicked toward the figures hiding behind pillars and corridors. There were many of them. Far too many.A sharp pain exploded across his forearm, snapping him out of his thoughts. His fingers instinctively loosened around her neck.She landed gracefully on the ground without the slightest hint of panic.Theon's gaze immediately dropped to the reddened mark on his arm where she had used a finger technique to fo
