My Master Knows It All

875: 245_5 875: 245_5 Outside, above the island.

Although the Peerless Relics had disappeared, presumably taken by Cao Zhen, the island where the relics had initially descended was still crowded with numerous experts at the Golden Core Stage.

The relics had vanished, but could Cao Zhen also vanish into thin air?

Eventually, Cao Zhen would appear.

He might be strong, but how strong could he possibly be?

Could he alone stand against ten people, a hundred at the Golden Core Stage, a thousand?

The moment Cao Zhen flew out of the relics, countless people would strike at the first opportunity, aiming to kill him immediately!

After all, who wouldn’t want to possess such a significant relic?

Everyone waited again.

Li Ke, Yan Yourong, and Ling Xi from the relics, and even Linghu Gudu, did not leave.

Suddenly, a shadowy light appeared in front of everyone and then flew off into the distance.

“That shadowy light!”

“It’s the palace, the palace flew away!”

“Such incredible speed!”

“Hurry, chase it!”

The crowd vaguely recognized it as the palace that had appeared before and hurriedly pursued it, but the palace moved too swiftly and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

“Cao Zhen left?

Riding away in the palace?”

“No, it’s the Reversal Mini Epoch Period now, how could there be power above that of the Golden Core Stage?

The speed of that palace’s flight clearly surpasses the Golden Core Stage!

Such power is not permitted by the Heavenly Dao!”

“However, previously, during the time at the relics, power beyond the Golden Core Stage had already appeared, triggering the arrival of the Tribulation Array.

This time, power beyond the Golden Core Stage has surfaced again, so there must be a Heavenly Tribulation falling!”

“The fall of the Heavenly Tribulation is not a problem; the most terrifying aspect is that the power of these relics can break the limits set by the Heavenly Dao, allowing powers beyond the Golden Core Stage to emerge—that is truly the most fearsome!”

“The inheritance of such relics is unimaginably terrifying, able to break the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao.”

“Now that Cao Zhen originally possessed Great Ability and has obtained such an inheritance, is there anyone in the Golden Core Stage who can stand against him?”

The palace Cao Zhen rode in only flew for a short while when suddenly, a violent impact was felt, and an immense oppressive force attacked from outside the palace.

Heavenly Tribulation arrived!

The power of the palace had surpassed that of the Golden Core Stage, and inevitably, a Heavenly Tribulation descended.

Since he was within the palace, Cao Zhen did not get injured again, but the palace he was in shattered, casting him down from the void.

The impact was so terrifying that the entire palace almost turned into ruins.

Cao Zhen looked around at the heaps of ruins, enduring the severe pain throughout his body and the roiling of his blood, raised his hand, and with a display of power, collected the remnants of the palace into the Qiankun Bag.

Afterward, he quickly flew forward.

His injuries were far from healed, and now that a Heavenly Tribulation had fallen here, it was inevitable that someone would discover the strangeness of this place.

If someone realized there was an issue here and came to inspect, what would he do if he encountered a formidable enemy in his current state?

He had to leave this place first, but as he flew, he felt his Mana being obstructed every time he tried to circulate it.

His injuries were too severe.

He hadn’t been flying long when he could no longer keep up, forcing him to land and proceed on foot.

But with every step he took, intense pain surged through his body.

Even walking, his speed was slower than that of a normal person.

Slowly, after about an hour, he felt almost unable to walk any longer, and finally, a village appeared before him.

On the small road leading to the village, a carriage approached.

The old man driving the carriage saw from afar the staggering figure on the road, swiftly drove up, and then stopped beside the figure.

It was only then that he saw clearly—the young man’s clothes were torn everywhere, with even some of the scars peeking through the tattered fabric.

And the young man’s complexion was so pale it lacked any hint of color.

The old man quickly jumped down from the carriage, supporting the young man beside him, and asked with concern, “Young man, what happened to you?

Did you also encounter bandits?

Were you robbed?

Ah, these tumultuous times are getting worse.”

Cao Zhen, seeing the old man who had suddenly stopped beside him and realizing he was an ordinary person despite his own grave injuries, immediately eased his worries.

He nodded in response to the old man’s words, “Yes, I encountered bandits.

Earlier I was preparing…”

As he thought about what fabrication to concoct, the old man continued, “You were probably on your way to the provincial city to participate in the examinations, right?

Ah, you’re the fourth Scholar our village has encountered who wanted to take the exams but ran into robbers.

You must have had companions, and I fear they met with disaster too.

It’s nearly dark now, and our village is the only one around here; you’ve got nowhere else to go.

You might as well come back to the village with me for now.

If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place.

It just so happens that in my household, there is a maid of a Scholar who had the same experience as you.

Perhaps, you even know each other.”
