Chapter 158 The Jiang Family nipped the threat in the bud.

The sky was turning a pale white, and melodious birdsong could be heard from time to time in the woods.

The atmosphere was somber as they embarked on their return journey. It was because they were all devastated. They had arrived full of vigor and high spirits, but after the survey mission, they had truly experienced the cruelty of the wilderness.

They are indeed the most outstanding magic students from Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy, but in this extremely dangerous wilderness, they can hardly guarantee even the most basic survival. If it weren't for Jiang Han and Mu Ningxue, some of them might have become corpses in this wilderness.

"How much further do we have to go to Anjie? I'm already feeling a bit tired," Ai Tutu complained as she walked beside Mu Nujiao.

"Once we cross the entire forest, we won't be far from Anjie. If we're lucky, we might even encounter guardian mages guarding or patrolling the area. In that case, we can ride their eagles away," Mo Fan said with a smile.

You think you can ride the Skyhawk of the nearby patrolling mage back to Anjie? You must be dreaming. If you run into Lu Nian and his group, they'll see if they don't grab you and use you as a guinea pig.

After arriving at the railway tracks, the group walked along them. Not long after, they encountered a group of mages dressed in military robes. There were about twenty of them, with Li Mingxuan leading the group and Lu Nian, who was holding a pipe, beside him.

Li Mingxuan waved his right hand, and more than a dozen guards surrounded the group. Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing, completely unaware of the danger, assumed the guards were protecting them and excitedly asked, "Guards? Are you here to take us back to Anjie?"

"Finally, I've met Master Wei. If I had to walk all the way back to Anjie, I'd be exhausted."

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were the first to notice something was wrong, so they moved behind Jiang Han and whispered, "Jiang Han, don't you think these mage guards are acting a bit strange?"

"Hmm, they can no longer be considered mage guardians. Let's all prepare for battle," Jiang Han said softly.

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, who were following behind Jiang Han, were both stunned. Although they did not understand what Jiang Han meant, they still did as he said.

Li Mingxuan gave Lu Nian a wink, and after understanding what Li Mingxuan meant, Lu Nian said in a cold voice, "Kill all the bystanders."

"Big brother, are you mistaken? They're all trainees with me." After Lu Nian gave the kill order, he quickly forced a stiff smile.

"That's precisely why we need to silence you all. This matter is too important for us to know about. And you'd better get over here right now. If you want to die with them, I'll have to tell my parents you perished during your wilderness training," Lu Nian said indifferently.

As soon as Lu Nian finished speaking, a murderous aura instantly spread out, and the dozen or so guard mages surrounding the crowd prepared to make their move. The strength that Lu Nian had brought out was at least at the mid-level, far superior to that of inexperienced students like Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and Liao Mingxuan. Those who were being targeted felt a chill run down their spines.

The atmosphere changed quickly. Before Zhao Mingyue and Qingqing could react to what was happening, several ice crystal chains wrapped around their waists and pulled them back to the group.

clap clap clap! ! !

"Not bad, not bad at all. You must be Jiang Han," Li Mingxuan said with a smile, clapping his hands.

Jiang Han said calmly, "Who are you? I don't think I know you. And why does Lu Nian listen to you so much, like your dog?"

"Boy, what did you say about courting death?" One of the mage guards unleashed a lightning bolt at Jiang Han, speaking with displeasure.

Jiang Han raised his left hand, and the Thunder Dragon Armguard appeared, easily blocking the incoming lightning seal. Although Jiang Han appeared calm on the surface, he was panicking inside, not because of Lu Nian, but because of Li Mingxuan.

If Lu Nian is willing to be at his beck and call, then this Li Mingxuan must be no ordinary person and is very likely Lu Nian's superior.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

Suddenly, chains of ice crystals appeared and pierced through all the guards who were surrounding the group on the left. Blood flowed from their abdomens, turning the pale blue ice crystal chains blood red.

"Run as far as you can!" Jiang Han shouted to Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Mu Ningxue.

As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, a series of light blue ice-type star maps appeared beneath his feet. Countless star trails crisscrossed and connected the star maps, and there were as many stars as there were in the sky.

The final seven ice-based star charts formed a magnificent constellation above Jiang Han's head, and the enormous frozen coffin descended directly upon Lu Nian, Li Mingxuan, and the remaining dozen or so guard mages.

"Mo Fan, come with me. Their target is the two of us. If you escape with Mu Ningxue and the others, you'll be harming them," Jiang Han said coldly after seeing the direction Mo Fan was running in.

Realizing that Jiang Han wasn't joking, Mo Fan had no choice but to give up following Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Zhao Manyan. Instead, he ran after Jiang Han towards Jinlin City. Once the students had disappeared from sight, a bewitching red flame erupted from Li Mingxuan's body, burning the ice-bound coffin that had enveloped them to ashes.

"Truly worthy of being from the Jiang family. Not only is he born with dual elemental abilities, but he's also cultivated to a high level. If he were to return to the Jiang family, he would definitely be a threat to our Li family in the future," Li Mingxuan said calmly, glancing in the direction Jiang Han and Mo Fan had fled.

"Army Command, the other trainees have already run far away, what should we do?" a female mage in military robes said.

Lu Nian glanced at Jiang Yi and said coldly, "Didn't you understand what I just said? Leave no survivors. This matter cannot be known by other forces, otherwise it will tarnish the reputation of our Guard District."

"No, we'll keep them alive; they'll be useful later," Li Mingxuan said calmly.

"Then let's capture them as quickly as possible."

Jiang Yi led more than a dozen guards and sorcerers in pursuit of Mu Nujiao, Mu Ningxue and the others who had fled. Li Mingxuan and Lu Nian, on the other hand, led a few guards and sorcerers to chase after Mo Fan and Jiang Han. Their purpose in coming here was to find Jiang Han and Mo Fan.

"Jiang Han, who exactly are they? Why did you say our target is us?" Mo Fan asked as he ran behind Jiang Han.

"Those scoundrels from the North China Military Department. I learned through special channels that they're researching a new magic system, but their methods are too inhumane and haven't been recognized by the Intercontinental Magic Association. So these scoundrels are secretly kidnapping people for experiments, determined to develop this magic system. As for why they've targeted us, I don't need to elaborate, do I?" Jiang Han said.

"What? They want to capture us and take us back for experiments? Are they even human? They're utterly inhuman!"

"Hurry up and run. Run as far as you can. If you get caught, you'll be crying before you know it," Jiang Han said calmly.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there Jiang Han? You've already broken through to the advanced level with your ice element, why are you so afraid?" Mo Fan said with a smile.

"I'm no match for those two leaders, so why should I be afraid?" Jiang Han said.

If it were just Lu Nian alone, it would be uncertain whether he or Lu Nian would run away. However, Jiang Han sensed a strange sense of crisis from the person who was directing Lu Nian.
