Su Ping pressed on, surrounded by killing intent.
Maybe it was because the formation had been broken, but the mist above the Graveyard Forest was gone. Su Ping could see more clearly.
The Graveyard Forest was a low-lying basin. The closer he was to the center, the deeper the basin would sink. There were many purple seals on the slope at the edge of the basin. Those seals covered an area of about ten square meters and most of them were empty. There were some young people sitting in some of the seals. They must be students of the academy.
Those seals were layered like terraced fields. Su Ping could see further. The deeper he went, the fewer people he could see.
He saw a tiny person sitting in the deepest part of the basin; the person was cultivating at the moment. However, the person seemed to have noticed something; he broke free from his cultivation right in front of Su Ping's gaze.
Su Ping remembered how Han Yuxiang and the others reacted when they heard about the 19th floor. Su Ping fixed his gaze on that student. He stepped forward.
Demons were roaring and howling. The wind was blowing violently. The demons were trying to get closer to Su Ping, but they seemed to be afraid of something. They followed Su Ping like his shadow.
…
The 19th floor of the Graveyard Forest.
Inside the seal.
Nan Fengtian opened his eyes slowly. He frowned. He felt that the evil energy around him had weakened. In his mind, the wailing and roaring beasts seemed to have retreated. He was confused. He had never encountered such a situation when he was cultivating.
Was it because of the treasure given to him by his family?
He reached into his bosom and took out a piece of jade from the front of his robe.
The jade slip was glowing and its shape was irregular. There was nothing special about the jade except for the glow it was emitting.
But Nan Fengtian knew that the jade slip was extremely precious. He had received the jade slip from his family because of his outstanding performance in the academy.
The jade slip was a treasure left to him by his family's ancestors. It could protect one's soul. With the jade slip, he could even be immune to beast kings' attacks!
Even Legends would be envious of such a treasure!
"If this item can dispel evil energy, then it's pointless to cultivate here with it …" Nan Fengtian mumbled to himself.
The reason he wore this treasure to cultivate here was so that he could guard his heart and soul while being attacked and invaded by the baleful aura to the limit, allowing his consciousness to be tempered to the greatest extent.
If this item could weaken the attack of the baleful aura, then it would be better not to wear this treasure and cultivate on the eighteenth floor than on the nineteenth floor.
Nan Fengtian shook his head. He was about to leave when the seal began to tremble all of a sudden. The purple runes that made up the seal began to shake violently and revealed themselves.
Nan Fengtian was taken aback. He had never encountered anything like this before.
Could it be that something had happened in the Graveyard God Forest?
He didn't dare to stay here for too long. Although he could cultivate here, it was still a dangerous place. If something were to happen here, it would be extremely easy for him to get into trouble.
When Nan Fengtian was about to leave the seal, the seal in front of him cracked open. A man with a dark aura drifted in.
Nan Fengtian was frightened to see that man. He stepped back, his heart pounding. "What, what are you?"
The Devil Qi emanating from the other party's body was even more terrifying than the figures formed by the evil thoughts of the demonic beasts he had encountered in his mind.
Could it be that he was still cultivating?
Is he in his consciousness?
"You're Nan Fengtian?" Su Ping looked down at him coldly.
Nan Fengtian was surprised. "You know me?"
"You know Su Lingyue, right? Where was the last time you saw her?" Su Ping asked coldly.
Nan Fengtian was surprised. "Su Lingyue?"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right then, two people arrived. It was Yun Wanli and Han Yuxiang.
The evil energy in the air was too afraid to get close to Su Ping. Yun Wanli came in as well. Seeing the shocked look on Nan Fengtian's face, he said to Su Ping at once, "Renegade Su, let's talk outside."
"Principal, Principal?"
Nan Fengtian was even more stunned to see Yun Wanli and Han Yuxiang. He was even more convinced that he had not broken free from cultivation. Otherwise, why would the elusive Principal show up here?
"Sure."
Su Ping darted a look at Nan Fengtian but didn't say anything else.
Yun Wanli was relieved. He grabbed Nan Fengtian's body and went back with Han Yuxiang.
Su Ping turned around and left the Graveyard Forest as well.
Fei Tianyi and the others woke up when Su Ping and Yun Wanli came back. They were surprised to see Nan Fengtian in Yun Wanli's hand. They didn't expect that they would be able to reach the 19th level in such a short time. For them, that was a place they could only look up to.
Many people fixed their eyes on the young man. Su Ping had restrained his killing intent. Even so, they were still in awe of him. They would never forget that scene.
"Nan Fengtian, Renegade Su wants to ask you something. You must answer truthfully. No lies!" Yun Wanli put Nan Fengtian on the ground.
With that said, Yun Wanli darted a look at Su Ping.
Su Ping's status in Yun Wanli's heart had risen. At first, Yun Wanli had thought that Su Ping was just an average legendary battle pet warrior. Yun Wanli thought that he would be able to defeat Su Ping on par with him.
However, after what happened, Yun Wanli realized that the young man was likely to be able to defeat legendary battle pet warriors at the Void State. He might even be able to compete with some of the older legendary battle pet warriors who had been at the Void State for years!
That was a level that Yun Wanli could not reach at the moment. Besides, Yun Wanli was getting old. If nothing went wrong, he would only be at the peak of the Ocean State for the rest of his life.
"Principal?"
Nan Fengtian was surprised. "Am I in reality?"
Yun Wanli called over the middle-aged titled battle pet warrior. "Light up the lamp. Let him see."
The middle-aged titled battle pet warrior took out a lamp. He poured in astral powers and the lamp burst into flames.
Nan Fengtian came back to his senses. He knew that he was in reality.
That lamp was a way to tell if something was real or not.
In the world of consciousness, the lamp could not be drawn. It was a piece of treasure and no one knew what it could do. What was clear was that no one could manifest the lamp in the world of consciousness. The lamp could only be seen in reality. Therefore, the "forest guardian" used the lamp as a tool to help students distinguish between reality and consciousness.
"Nice to meet you, Principal!"
Nan Fengtian bowed to Yun Wanli at once after realizing that he was in the real world.
Yun Wanli waved his hand. "Nan Fengtian, tell Renegade Su everything you know about him."
"Renegade Su?"
Nan Fengtian was surprised. Was it the Renegade he knew or was his real name Renegade?
Nan Fengtian didn't have the courage to ask. The image of the young man was still lingering in his mind. It was the young man's killing intent that made Nan Fengtian think that he was in the world of consciousness.
Otherwise, given his experience in the Graveyard Forest, he would be able to tell the difference between reality and illusion without the help of the lamp.
"Principal, who do you mean by Su?" Nan Fengtian was confused.
"Don't play dumb. I'm talking about the Su who went missing because of you!" Su Ping shouted.
Nan Fengtian narrowed his eyes but he soon calmed down. "I don't know what you're talking about. There are many students with the surname Su in the academy. How am I supposed to know who he is if you don't tell me his name? As for the Su who went missing because of me, I don't think that's true. I've been cultivating. I would never bully a student and I don't care to do that."
Su Ping squinted his eyes. "You're lying."
Nan Fengtian was angered. "Why would you say that? I'm a descendant of a legendary battle pet warrior and I'm a noble. Why would I lie? "
Yun Wanli saw the killing intent on Su Ping's face and remembered what had happened to Ji Feng. "Renegade Su, please calm down. Let Nan Fengtian speak first."
Yun Wanli had started to address Su Ping as an honorific.
What happened had affected Yun Wanli. If it weren't for the fact that Nan Fengtian had a legendary battle pet warrior bloodline and was one of the most outstanding students of the Valiant Academy in recent years, Yun Wanli wouldn't have offended Su Ping over a student.
"Nan Fengtian, we're talking about Su Lingyue. Someone saw her with you and Ji Feng before she went missing. Do you know where she went?" Yun Wanli asked Nan Fengtian.
Nan Fengtian shook his head. "Principal, I really don't know. Su Lingyue is a new student. She is very talented and I have high hopes for her. I want her to join our family but I've been cultivating for the past few days. I wouldn't have known that she was missing if you didn't tell me."
"I told you. You're lying."
Su Ping stared into Nan Fengtian's eyes. "I'll give you one more chance. I don't care what your bloodline is. Even if the legendary battle pet warrior of your family is still here, I will kill him or her if he's standing in front of me!"
Nan Fengtian was taken aback. How arrogant!
The legendary battle pet warrior of his family had passed away a long time ago. Nan Fengtian was a descendant of a legendary battle pet warrior. The legendary battle pet warrior of his family was an honor for all his family members.
"How dare you insult a legendary battle pet warrior! Do you know what crime you have committed?!" Nan Fengtian bellowed.
Yun Wanli and Han Yuxiang were startled. Yun Wanli scolded Nan Fengtian, "Shut up. Renegade Su has the ability to kill legendary battle pet warriors. How dare you talk to Renegade Su like that?"
Nan Fengtian was taken aback by Yun Wanli's words. He was dumbfounded.
Capable of killing legendary battle pet warriors?
Could it be that this young man was also a legendary battle pet warrior?!
Nan Fengtian's heart was pounding. His blood was boiling and cold sweat was oozing out of his pores.
He knew that the Principal was a legendary battle pet warrior.
Why would a legendary battle pet warrior lie to him?
"I, I deserve to die …" Nan Fengtian came back to his senses. He dropped to his knees at once.
Nan Fengtian was drenched in cold sweat as he remembered Yun Wanli's attitude toward Su Ping. Even the Principal, a legendary battle pet warrior, was in awe of this young man. Nan Fengtian was courting death.
