A day was equivalent to a month. While Feng Hao was trapped in the body of the octopus, roughly half a year had already passed in the outside world. In this half a year, the True Martial Continent had become increasingly peaceful on the surface. Under the unified leadership of the academy, there were practically no forces that did not bow their heads. However, in the eyes of some Saint experts, the True Martial Continent was increasingly filled with the feeling that a storm was brewing.
In this half a year, Saint experts continued to die one after another. The way they died was the same. Their bodies were dried up, and not even the slightest bit of flesh, energy or soul was left behind. Due to the fear that this matter would cause panic, the experts of the academy had unanimously decided to conceal it for the time being. At the same time, they had also hastened the search for the ferocious beast.
When the news of the icy plains reached the ears of the experts of the academy, it had also attracted the attention of the Radiant Sun Sovereign. Immediately, he ordered all the experts to return to the academy and gathered them together for a meeting.
The Radiant Sun Sovereign and many experts appeared in the tall black pagoda of the academy. Every single one of their faces had turned extremely ashen. That was because there was still no news of the culprit even after half a year had passed. Furthermore, Saint experts continued to die one after another.
"Everyone, there's news from the icy plains. There was a bloody case that occurred half a year ago. The deceased were two Saint experts, but another mysterious Saint expert appeared later on. Furthermore, an earth-shattering battle occurred that night, and he has completely disappeared since then."
The Radiant Sun Sovereign solemnly said. Due to the icy plains being too far away from the Martial Realm, there were many news that couldn't be spread to them in time. For example, the news of this matter had taken a long time to spread.
"A Saint expert. If it's half a year ago, it should be Feng Hao. His destination is the icy plains, and he's searching for the Nine Nether Ice Soul Grass." At this moment, the Scholar Saint spoke. He had already gone into seclusion some time ago. At this moment, his aura was extremely majestic, giving off a stifling feeling.
After a long period of closed-door training, the Sage of Calligrapher finally cultivated to his peak. All he needed was an opportunity to break through the shackles of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth and become a real Great Emperor. However, it was extremely difficult to take this step.
"That's what I think as well. I reckon that Fenghao must have discovered the traces of the Azure Sky Archdevil Sovereign back then, which resulted in a battle. But clearly, he did not manage to kill the Azure Sky Archdevil Sovereign. In this period of time, other Saint experts have been dying one after another. Even our academy has started to be targeted." The Radiant Sun Sovereign pondered for a brief moment before he analysed.
The other experts looked at each other and nodded their heads. Judging from the time, it seemed to match with Feng Hao's schedule. However, why didn't he leave any information behind?
"No matter what, the most important thing now is to recall all the Saint level experts in the academy. Don't let them leave as they please. If I'm not wrong, there aren't many Saint level experts in the outside world that don't belong to the academy. I wonder how much the Azure Sky Demon Sovereign has recovered. If this goes on, his target will soon be us." The Sage of Calligrapher pondered for a moment before he said.
The Radiant Sun Sovereign nodded his head and helplessly said, "That's the only way. Azure Sky is too cunning. He actually managed to hide from all of us. After such a long time, he has killed nearly twenty Saint level experts. I'm afraid that he has recovered quite a bit of his cultivation."
"Haha, ancestor, have you forgotten that he fought with Feng Hao in the icy plains back then?" The Sage of Calligrapher shook his head and said with a smile, "With Fenghao's personality, although I don't know why he didn't kill the Azure Heaven Archdevil Venerable, the Azure Heaven Archdevil Venerable would have had to pay a huge price to escape from Fenghao."
Hearing that, the Radiant Sun Sovereign's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of this? From the looks of it, it would be fine as long as the Saint level experts in the academy could be found and the Azure Sky Demon Sovereign's recovery speed could be stopped.
"Right now, the only thing I'm worried about is Feng Hao's child." The Sage of Calligrapher's face slowly turned solemn as he clenched his fists. He seemed to have thought of something bad.
"Yeah, what do you mean?" The Radiant Sun Sovereign raised his brows as he looked at the Sage of Calligrapher.
"We don't even know what's going on with that child. If the Azure Sky Demon Sovereign uses him to harm Feng Hao, I'm afraid that Feng Hao will go insane. At that time, things will be bad." The Sage of Calligrapher sighed, "Huangfu Wushuang has also disappeared. If she's still around, we might be able to find out more."
"Huangfu Wushuang …" The Radiant Sun Exalt slowly said. He shook his head without saying anything. He had been secretly searching for traces of Huangfu Wushuang during this period of time. However, he hadn't found anything. It was as if Huangfu Wushuang had vanished from the True Martial Continent.
Just at this moment, the space distorted and Wu Liang appeared in front of everyone. His expression was slightly anxious, as though something had happened.
"What's going on? Wuliang, shouldn't you be in seclusion at this time?" The Sage of Calligrapher was slightly startled as he looked at the anxious Wuliang.
"Big Senior Brother, Huangfu Wushuang is here." Wuliang said straightforwardly. When he said that, both the Radiant Sun Sovereign and the Sage of Calligrapher were slightly startled. Why did Huangfu Wushuang really come the moment he mentioned her?
"Then I'll go and see her." The Sage of Calligrapher pondered for a brief moment and nodded his head. Although Huangfu Wushuang was once a member of the Daoist Temple, her relationship with Feng Hao was unclear. Thus, he couldn't say anything.
"However, she's already a Half-step Sovereign." Wuliang said with a bitter smile.
"Half-step Sovereign."
"How is that possible?"
In an instant, many experts cried out in shock. Huangfu Wushuang had actually broken through to the Half-step Sovereign Realm. This had exceeded their expectations. If that's the case, there's another expert that could break through to the Sovereign Realm in this world.
"I'll go with you." The Radiant Sun Sovereign retracted the astonished expression on his face and chuckled, "It's not a bad thing for her to come to the academy. At the very least, we can find out more about the Azure Sky Demon Sovereign."
