Chapter 1401 - 1397: Almost Dead

At this moment, Gu Yuan was completely floating in a vortex, only able to feel himself spinning endlessly and knowing nothing else.

"Oh heavens, where in the world have I been swept into? If I keep spinning, I’m going to throw up!"

There was no light source here, so naturally, Gu Yuan couldn’t see that he was now shrouded in a transparent orb of light.

The orb was spinning rapidly, fending off the Gang Wind slicing through.

The force of the Gang Wind could easily shatter a mountain peak, yet when it struck the orb, it left only a faint trace, showing no sign of cracking.

If not for the orb protecting Gu Yuan, even though he was carrying numerous Protective Magical Artifacts, he would undoubtedly be in a disheveled state, most likely missing an arm or leg.

Just as Gu Yuan felt he was reaching his limit and was about to be dizzy from the endless spinning,

a voice calling his name came from his ears.

Gu Yuan quickly shook his head, thinking he was hallucinating because his mind wasn’t clear from the prolonged spinning.

"Gu Yuan!"

"Gu Yuan!"

"Gu Yuan!"

...

But those calls were extremely real, as if someone was genuinely calling him by his ear.

On the other side, the Junior Master was holding a Magic Spell, standing at the most turbulent point of the Gang Wind, constantly calling out Gu Yuan’s name.

However, there was not a single response, which infuriated the Junior Master to the point of wanting to curse.

"Where on earth has this brat been swept away to, shouting his name all day with no response, could he really have been struck dead by the Gang Wind?

It shouldn’t be! I personally crafted the Passage Order, and after opening the Barrier, not even Heavenly Thunder could crack it..."

The Junior Master was a bit confused about Gu Yuan’s current situation.

But thinking that it’s better to be safe than sorry, Gu Yuan might really be extremely unlucky, unable to activate even the Life-saving Talisman before exhausting himself to death.

"Forget it, I might as well try divination, if that guy really died just like that, it’s not that I didn’t try to save him, it’s purely fate~"

The Junior Master no longer called Gu Yuan’s name and instead started divining Gu Yuan’s fate anew.

Gu Yuan had no idea, he thought he was experiencing auditory hallucinations and feared responding would bring disaster, so he didn’t respond at all, making the Junior Master mistakenly believe he had exhausted himself to death.

As the voice calling his name faded, Gu Yuan became more convinced that the previous voice was something unusual.

Gu Yuan immediately patted his chest.

"Luckily, luckily, I was vigilant and didn’t respond, otherwise, who knows what would have happened."

The Barrier expanded by the Passage Order had no anchoring points for support in this turbulent flow.

The nearby turbulence and Gang Wind struck the orb, causing it to continually accelerate in rotation.

Gu Yuan’s dizziness intensified, and his eyelids started to close beyond his control.

On the Junior Master’s side, he finally calculated the results too, the Divination showed Gu Yuan was still alive, though slightly between life and death.

"Looks like calling his name is useless, I’ll have to go there myself."

The Junior Master would never admit that his main reason for planning to go was his concern for Yun Ran.

All cards had been played; the danger level was not to be underestimated. Without him as the mentor figure backing them, he would have to send the young to their end.

The Junior Master lifted his foot, ready to step into the sealed crack, and in the next moment, a sound of something cracking reached his ears.
