The skinny figure in the lead was an old man with an aged face. His eyes gleamed with the light of a wolf, as if he was about to devour someone.
Among the dozen or so people following behind him, there were young men and middle-aged men. Each and every one of them exuded a cold and bloodthirsty aura … When they gathered together, they did not seem like a group of humans but more like a pack of wolves!
The skinny old man was the king of this pack of wolves.
"Search for the target immediately. At the same time, don't alert the others … Once you find the target, inform the others immediately. When almost everyone has arrived, attack at my command and try to kill him in one blow!"
"That Duan Lingtian may only be an intermediate deity, but none of you are a match for him in a one-on-one fight."
The skinny old man said indifferently, "Now, spread out and search for the target."
"Yes."
The dozen or so people responded in unison. It was as if they had discussed this beforehand. None of them spoke too soon or too late.
As soon as they finished speaking, they split up and flew off in different directions. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the forest and mountain range like fish returning to the sea.
If anyone were here, they would definitely be very surprised. This was because these people were like natural-born hunters. They wandered in the forest and mountain range. No matter what it was, they could cleverly use it as a cover.
Even if one was very close to them, it would not be easy to discover them without using Divine Consciousness.
These people were the men of sacrifice raised by the Zhong Clan, a God-King-level clan in Tianfeng City. They were specially trained to solve some of the clandestine matters of the Zhong Clan.
At the same time.
In a few other places, there were also several groups of people spreading out in all directions.
There were only five or six people in each of these groups. They were not as many as the Zhong Clan, but all of them exuded a bloodthirsty and cold aura … These people were from the other clans in Tianfeng City.
Even the Zhou Clan had sent men of sacrifice.
They had also sent men of sacrifice to kill Duan Lingtian.
However, their reason for killing Duan Lingtian was completely different from the Zhong Family's.
The Zhong family wanted to kill the Duan Lingtian because of the enmity between the Duan Lingtian and the Zhong family. If they didn't kill the Duan Lingtian, the Duan Lingtian would become a hidden danger to the Zhong family in the future.
As for the other God King level clans that wanted to kill Duan Lingtian wanted to shift the blame onto the Zhong Clan.
At the same time, killing a young genius who was about to rise but was unwilling to be used by them was a good thing for them, not a bad thing. They were happy to see this happen.
…
"Looks like the Zhong Clan isn't the only one who sent people here."
Yu Qianshan, who was hovering in the air above the vast forest, withdrew his soul consciousness that had covered a large area of the forest below and shook his head slightly.
The trial grounds for the 10-star students were huge.
Even though he was a High God King and his soul consciousness could cover a large area, he could only cover a corner of the 10-star students' trial grounds. He couldn't cover the entire trial grounds.
Not long after Duan Lingtian entered the forest, he discovered that Duan Lingtian had disappeared from the range of his soul consciousness. He was no longer able to lock onto Duan Lingtian's whereabouts.
However, he could still sense the changes in the forest.
But now that he had withdrawn his soul consciousness, he didn't seem to have any plans for the next step.
"Elder Qianshan …"
A teacher standing not far from Yu Qianshan heard his words. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Yu Qianshan frowning. "How many times have I told you? Right now, you and I are no longer in the Hidden Fog Sect. We are in the Hidden Fog Academy, so you don't need to call me Elder Something. "
"Within the academy, there is a name for you."
As he spoke, Yu Qianshan's tone became somewhat impatient.
"Yes, Teacher Yu."
The teacher bitterly smiled. Then, he straightened his face and said, "That Duan Lingtian participating in this trial is quite dangerous … Are we really going to stand guard here and do nothing?"
"Who said we're not going to do anything?"
Yu Qianshan lightly said, "We're going to stand guard here. If a God King trespasses into the trial grounds, we'll be the first to discover it … At that time, we'll take action and kill that reckless God King!"
After saying this, Yu Qianshan looked at another teacher not far away. "Teacher Zhu Chun, don't you agree?"
"Ah?"
Zhu Chun was clearly thinking about something. When he heard Yu Qianshan call him, he hurriedly came back to his senses. He looked at Yu Qianshan with awe and nervousness. "Yes, Teacher Yu is right."
Although he didn't hear what Yu Qianshan said, did he want to hear it?
He didn't need to.
Although they were both teachers of the Hidden Fog Academy, he still knew the difference in status between him and Teacher Yu Qianshan.
Yu Qianshan wasn't just a subordinate of the dean. Even in the Hidden Fog Sect, he also had a high position. The reason he came to the Hidden Fog Academy as a teacher was partly because he was bored and wanted to come out and relax.
Unlike him, he came to the Hidden Fog Academy as a teacher so that when he returned to the sect in the future, he could have a good resume and be promoted.
"Teacher Zhu Chun."
There was another teacher who had been silent all this time. Now, he looked at Zhu Chun deeply and said, "This time, the Zhong Family should have sent many people to the trial grounds to kill Duan Lingtian, right?"
Zhu Chun's expression changed when he heard this. However, he immediately calmed down and shook his head. "I don't know … But normally speaking, the Zhong Family shouldn't be so bold."
"Shouldn't be?"
This teacher obviously didn't intend to let Zhu Chun go so easily. "But just now, Teacher Yu Qianshan clearly found many non-Ten-star students wandering around the trial ground … Aren't those people from the Zhong Family?"
"I don't know about this either."
Zhu Chun shook his head. At the same time, he looked at Yu Qianshan and said, "Teacher Yu, if you think those people's identities are suspicious, I can personally capture them and bring them to you so that you can interrogate them personally."
Of course, Zhu Chun was just saying it casually.
Because he knew that Yu Qianshan wouldn't let him do that.
Even if other teachers were to go, they wouldn't let him go. After all, he had a close relationship with the Zhong Family. They would definitely be worried that he would personally make a move on Duan Lingtian.
"No need."
Sure enough, Zhu Chun guessed right. Yu Qianshan shook his head and said, "You, just wait here with us."
"Later, if someone crushes their token, you will come with me."
Yu Qianshan's words obviously meant that he wanted to 'tie' Zhu Chun to his side. Zhu Chun wasn't surprised by this and repeatedly said 'yes'.
"Teacher Yu."
The teacher who spoke first looked at Yu Qianshan and frowned slightly. "What do you and the dean think? Not to mention the academy, even if placed in our sect, Duan Ling Tian would still be considered an extremely outstanding genius. "
Don't you think it's too dangerous for him to participate in the ten-star trial?
Don't tell me you and the dean want to see such a genius fall just like that? "
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the other teacher and Zhu Chun turned to look at Yu Qianshan.
Facing the gazes of the three people, Yu Qianshan said indifferently, "He's not a three-year-old child. He has his own thoughts. Since he chose to participate in the trial instead of complaining to the dean, it means that he has his own thoughts. He wants to participate in the 10-star trial this time."
Under such circumstances, do you want me and the dean to beg him not to participate in the ten-star trial?
Moreover, the dean and I are curious … Where does his confidence come from?
If he falls just like that, he'll become a drop in the ocean in the academy's long history. However, if he survives, it means he's not a simple person.
The dean told me … if he survives and doesn't rely on any external forces, he'll consider letting him enter the sect in advance. He'll also recommend him to become a core disciple of the sect and enjoy the best treatment! "
As soon as Yu Qianshan said this, the three suddenly understood.
As it turned out, the matter this time was a test the Dean gave Duan Ling Tian.
"Core disciple …"
The three of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
If Duan Ling Tian really became a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, then in terms of status within the Hidden Fog Sect, Duan Ling Tian wouldn't be inferior to them. A core disciple was an existence that was on equal footing with inner sect elders like them.
Moreover, in the Hidden Fog Sect, there weren't many core disciples. There were never more than a hundred of them.
…
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who was moving like a ghost in the forest and mountain range was completely unaware that he had unknowingly moved around the forest and mountain range. He was in a predicament.
Moreover, this predicament was one that the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy had tacitly agreed to.
At the same time, the Hidden Fog Academy didn't intend to help him.
Of course, it wasn't that they didn't want to help.
At the very least, the Hidden Fog Academy wouldn't let the God King powerhouses attack him.
As for the God Spirit Realm existences, the Hidden Fog Academy didn't care. No matter how many of them there were, how strong they were, how they attacked Duan Lingtian, the Hidden Fog Academy didn't intend to interfere.
Although Duan Lingtian was a genius and no one in the Hidden Fog Academy could surpass him, in the Hidden Fog Sect, there were many people who could compete with him or even surpass him. Because of this, the Hidden Fog Academy could afford to lose such a genius and the Hidden Fog Sect couldn't afford to lose him.
Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!
Duan Ling Tian's figure swept through the forest in the mountain range like a gust of wind. All the Demon Beasts he encountered, no matter how big or small they were, all of them quickly fell to the ground. None of the Demon Beasts could survive for more than a breath in front of him.
Now, Duan Lingtian not only used the fusion of the three profundities of the Law of Space, but he also took out a divine tool.
Of course, it was just an ordinary low-grade divine tool without a soul.
It was a sword.
The sword flew out like a dragon. Every time it flew out, it would take the life of a monster.
In this way, after wandering for many days, Duan Lingtian couldn't remember how many monster beasts he had killed. He even felt a little numb to it.
On this day, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have sensed something. His eyes flashed as he came to a halt. The corners of his mouth curled up. "You've finally found me?"
