"Ha ha, Xu Nian, didn''t expect you to flee desperately to Life-breaking Cliff, did you? It seems the heavens want to end you."

    On the edge of Life-breaking Cliff, Lin Han looked at Xu Nian standing at the cliff''s edge, burst into laughter, his eyes filled with both amusement and mockery.

    The audience before the Xuantian Mirror also gasped in shock, lamenting Xu Nian''s bad luck for ending up by the edge of Life-breaking Cliff.

    Now with no way out, he probably could only resort to crushing the Golden Crow Token.

    Sitting in the main seat, Leng Yanran also frowned tightly, her gaze ice cold.

    Life-breaking Cliff was the only deadly place in Jade Cave Heaven, and not a single Academy student who entered there had ever come out alive.

    Most crucially, they didn''t know what was at the bottom of Life-breaking Cliff, because it was the only place the Xuantian Mirror couldn''t probe.

    Seeing Xu Nian end up by Life-breaking Cliff now, she too felt a surge of disappointment.

    But she knew it wasn''t Xu Nian''s fault; it was just his terribly bad luck.

    However, at this moment, Xu Nian, hearing Lin Han''s words by Life-breaking Cliff''s edge, actually chuckled.

    Fleeing desperately?

    Was it really so?

    With Emperor Ye Tian around, how could Xu Nian possibly fail to find the best escape route?

    If it wasn''t for Emperor Ye Tian directing him to Life-breaking Cliff, Lin Han wouldn''t have been able to catch him even if he chased him for ten days and nights.

    "Kid, have you thought it through? What lies beneath is truly a matter of life and death. If you jump, I can''t guarantee you''ll survive, but if you do, you''ll be no weaker than Dugu Jingcheng," the voice of Emperor Ye Tian echoed in Xu Nian''s mind.

    "Jump, why wouldn''t I jump? If it can give me a chance to surpass Dugu Jingcheng, I''ll risk my life to try," Xu Nian responded mentally.

    From the battle with Lin Han just now, he had already thought it through clearly. If he just continued to follow the typical path of treasure hunting in Jade Cave Heaven, unless by a miracle, he might barely surpass Lin Han but surpassing Dugu Jingcheng would be unlikely.

    Unable to defeat Dugu Jingcheng, obtaining the Golden Crow Fruit would be incredibly difficult. Instead, it was better to take the risk.

    Emperor Ye Tian did not speak further, obviously agreeing with Xu Nian''s thoughts.

    The path of cultivation was inherently a defiance of the heavens; without the resolve to risk one''s life, one eventually couldn''t achieve the Great Tao, so she didn''t interfere with Xu Nian''s thinking and even began to admire him.

    "Ha ha, Xu Nian, you only have your mouth to show off, now let''s see if you dare to insult me again," Lin Han laughed heartily.

    Xu Nian just laughed, looking at Lin Han and said, "Is that really so?"

    Lin Han furrowed his brows subconsciously; he sensed a hint of scheming in Xu Nian''s smile, yet he couldn''t pinpoint what was off.

    "Bang!"

    Just then, a loud noise erupted.

    Following that, Lin Han felt a chill across his body, then his whole body was mercilessly exposed to the blasting wind.

    Lin Han covered his privates the moment his clothes burst open, but his reaction was still a bit slow.

    The audience outside saw everything that shouldn''t have been seen.

    "Wow!"

    The spectators outside widened their eyes and exclaimed, staring at the exposed body in the Xuantian Mirror, covering their mouths and laughing loudly.

    Xu Nian also watched Lin Han''s body, shaking his head and sighing, "Ah, what a pity!"

    Hearing this, the onlookers outside burst into laughter.

    Lin Han''s face turned deathly pale; although he didn''t know why his clothes had shattered, he knew it definitely had something to do with the Xu Nian in front of him.

    Thinking about how his body was now exposed to the entire Academy, he felt an urge to find a hole to crawl into, and his gaze filled with killing intent when looking at Xu Nian.

    "I will kill you!" Finally, Lin Han threw caution to the wind, abandoning any cover, and charged at Xu Nian.

    However, Xu Nian just chuckled lightly, stepped on the edge of the cliff, and jumped off ahead of him.

    "Is he... crazy?"

    The spectators outside were all stunned, their smiles freezing instantly. They ignored Lin Han''s half-naked scrambling and stared intently at Xu Nian jumping off the cliff.

    They never expected Xu Nian to give up crushing the Golden Crow Token and just leap off Life-breaking Cliff?

    Seeing this scene, Leng Yanran also suddenly stood up from her high seat, her delicate fists clenched tightly, her eyes a complex mix of emotions.
