Chapter 231: Maya’s Concern!!!

Maya’s Concern!!!

"Teacher, are we going in?" Amaya asked.

The wind carried the smell of dust and ancient Mana across the skies of the Forsaken Domain. Before them, the giant entrance to the Martial Emperor Tomb radiated a blinding golden light that twisted the surrounding space itself. The enormous gate looked less like an entrance and more like a heavenly rift forcefully torn open between worlds.

Maya’s blue eyes quietly observed the tomb entrance.

Strange ripples continued spreading from within, causing space to tremble slightly every few breaths.

She shook her head and said, "It’s not the time yet. We can enter when the power is reduced and the door is completely opened."

Her voice was calm, carrying the natural composure of an experienced Teacher.

The students behind her nodded obediently.

Still, despite their attempts to remain calm, their eyes continued wandering around with shock.

They had never seen such a scene before.

The sky above was filled with countless flying treasures, spirit ships, ancient beasts, and cultivators standing upon swords.

The ground beneath was no better.

Dense crowds stretched beyond sight.

People.

Everywhere.

From towering elders with white hair reaching their waists to young geniuses whose eyes burned with ambition.

It felt as if the entire world had gathered here.

No—

Perhaps that wasn’t an exaggeration.

All famous Powerful Sects in the Forsaken Domain, from Headmasters to Elders and students, had been mobilized. Even some ancient ancestors who had remained in seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years emerged one after another. The appearance of the Martial Emperor Tomb had shaken the entire Forsaken Domain, causing waves powerful enough to stir every hidden dragon and crouching tiger beneath the heavens.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Powerful auras constantly pressed against one another.

Invisible pressure filled the sky.

Some students from Holy Water Division subconsciously swallowed.

"So many experts..."

"I can’t even sense some of their cultivation."

"Forget cultivation... some of those old monsters are terrifying."

One student pointed toward an old man sitting atop a giant black crane.

The old man merely sat there quietly drinking tea, yet the surrounding space continuously distorted around him.

No one dared approach.

Maya glanced around calmly, but her expression gradually became strange.

Her beautiful brows slowly knitted together.

"Strange, why don’t I see my junior brother Leon?" Maya patrolled the surroundings for a long time and asked curiously.

Amaya blinked.

She also looked around carefully.

Truthfully...

She had unconsciously been searching for Leon since arriving.

Without realizing it, her eyes had repeatedly moved through the crowd.

But after several moments—

Nothing.

No familiar midnight robes.

No shoulder-length black hair.

No pair of calm purple eyes.

Amaya also checked for a long time but didn’t see Leon. However, she did see two familiar figures.

"Eh, aren’t those the two junior sisters from Amethyst Summit Division? When did they leave the Academy Premises..."

Maya was stunned for a moment.

She followed Amaya’s gaze.

Not far away stood two figures who immediately attracted attention even amidst the countless gathered geniuses.

Selena and Rias.

The two stood together quietly.

Selena’s long silver-white hair danced softly beneath the wind while her snow-white robes moved lightly around her slender figure.

Beside her, Rias’s red robes fluttered gently like dancing flames.

Countless eyes secretly glanced toward them.

Some carried admiration.

Some carried curiosity.

Others simply appreciated beauty.

However—

Neither of them cared.

At this moment, they looked at the entrance in front of them with worried expressions.

Yesterday, they had received news from Harry Taylor that their Teacher had already entered the Martial Emperor Tomb.

The moment they heard the news, both of them had immediately rushed down from the Academy Premises without hesitation.

Because they knew Leon.

Too well.

Whenever he acted casually...

Something outrageous usually happened.

Rias bit her lip softly.

Her eyes carried obvious worry.

"Teacher better not be doing something crazy again..."

She muttered quietly.

Selena remained silent.

But her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hilt of her sword.

The expression on her beautiful face remained calm.

Only her eyes betrayed her emotions.

There was worry there.

Deep worry.

Just then—

Selena was about to ask Harry Taylor about Leon when she suddenly felt someone coming from behind.

She turned around.

"Greetings, Respected Maya..." Selena immediately bowed and greeted her.

Maya looked at the two girls before her.

Then she looked behind them.

Her expression suddenly became strange.

"Where’s your Teacher?"

Selena blinked slightly.

Then lowered her head.

She shook her head.

She truly didn’t know Leon’s current whereabouts.

Maya’s eyes showed disappointment.

She had heard about Leon’s recent deeds in the Land of Silence. Even she couldn’t help but feel amazed.

He had defeated the First Elder of the Sky Breaker Academy.

He had actually injured the terrifying Inferno Swift Bird.

And now rumors had begun spreading throughout the Forsaken Domain, giving him a title that carried both shock and disbelief—

Purple Sword Monarch Leon.

Maya’s eyes flickered slightly.

A person capable of continuously shocking everyone around him...

Truthfully speaking—

She had wanted to see him.

But now?

The man himself had disappeared.

"Damn it, where did he go? He didn’t even send a message. There’s no news from the communication talisman. I’m so anxious."

Maya complained inwardly.

Her expression looked calm outside, but inside she was becoming increasingly annoyed.

That fellow always acted freely.

Before she could continue speaking—

Harry Taylor suddenly pointed toward the entrance.

His expression looked awkward.

"Senior has already entered."

"He went in?"

Maya was stunned for a moment.

Her eyes widened.

Then she looked toward the giant entrance radiating golden light.

Her expression darkened immediately.

That pressure hadn’t fully weakened yet.

Entering now wasn’t exactly impossible...

But it was dangerous.

Very dangerous.

She stared at the entrance silently.

Then sighed softly.

"...That idiot."

Behind her, Amaya suddenly had a bad feeling.

Maya slowly turned around.

Then she looked toward the students behind her.

"Stay here first. Don’t run around. Wait for the Guardian Elders to arrive before listening to their arrangements."

"Teacher, where are you going?" Amaya asked in confusion.

Maya’s expression became firm.

Without hesitation—

"I’ll go in and find your Guardian Elder Leon..."

With that, she charged into the entrance. She had already broken through to the sage realm. She could barely withstand the pressure and entered smoothly.
