Just as Fan Jin and Jun Xie were in the midst of their discussion, the youth who had lured Fan Jin and his team into the ambush had dragged his body covered in wounds as he quickly escaped to another area.
In the dense forest, a team of disciples from the Zephyr Academy had just slain a medium grade Spirit Beast. The massive carcass of the Spirit Beast lay on the ground, crushing a large patch of trees. A tall youth was standing on the head of the Spirit Beast, digging through the open skull to find spirit stones.
A beautiful young girl stood at the periphery, watching the blood and chaos before her, her brows furrowed, her nose covered with her sleeve.
"Senior Ning, would you like some water?" Yin Yan stood at the side, his hand holding out a water bag, his eyes filled with adoration.
Ning Xin glanced at Yin Yan and shook her head, her eyes turning to look in another direction.
All of a sudden, she noticed a figure approaching and she immediately gave Yin Yan a look. Yin Yan immediately understood what she meant and turned to walk quietly in that direction, to meet up with the youth.
Ning Xin shifted her footsteps slightly, to allow her line of sight to see the interaction between Yin Yan and the youth. She watched them quietly, her face expressionless, but her eyes flashed with a hint of eagerness that betrayed her heart.
In a few moments, Yin Yan came running back.
"How did it go?" Ning Xin tried her best to maintain her composure, pretending to ask casually.
"We have successfully lured Fan Jin over and there shouldn't be any problems. We have not detected any signal flare so it seems that they have all been wiped out." Yin Yan said, his head lowered, trying his best to suppress his face that was contorted with excitement.
Their target was only Fan Jin and they had not given any specific orders to kill anyone other than Fan Jin. But they had hinted that if they resisted, they would kill all of them and make the corpses look like they had been ambushed by a high grade Spirit Beast. If there were any survivors from Fan Jin's team, they would have sent out a distress signal by now.
"In order not to expose themselves, those people would naturally not spare Jun Xie and his team." Ning Xin said with a smile. She had indeed only said to kill Fan Jin alone, but as long as those people were not idiots, they would know what it meant to silence them.
Anyone in Fan Jin's team could testify against them in the future. In order to protect themselves, killing them all was the most appropriate method.
"What Senior-apprentice Sister Ning said is correct. If we don't remove the roots when cutting weeds, they will grow again when the spring wind blows. Only by making sure that everyone who knows the truth keeps their mouths shut can we keep this matter a secret forever. Like this, no one will ever know why Fan Jin died. Those who joined hands to kill Fan Jin would definitely not dare to speak of this matter. " Yin Yan said with a smile. Even though he couldn't see the state of Fan Jin's death, hearing the news of Fan Jin's death still made him extremely excited.
Ning Xin waved her hand dismissively. "Things that have been used up, will naturally have to be disposed of. In this world, only dead people can truly keep secrets."
Yin Yan's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly raised his head to look at Ning Xin.
"Senior Sister Ning, you mean …"
Ning Xin turned to look at the youth who was still hiding not too far away, tending to his wounds. She smiled brightly and said: "Every Spirit Hunt, there are always some disciples of the Zephyr Academy who die, and there are also some who mysteriously go missing. This year's Spirit Hunt, I'm afraid the death toll will double." As she said that, Ning Xin's smiling eyes turned to look at Yin Yan, and Yin Yan felt a chill run down his spine.
