A deathly silent Withered Forest appeared in front of everyone. It was pitch black in the distance, as if it connected to the sky. No one knew how far it stretched, or how many unknown dangers lurked in the depths of the Withered Forest.
"Senior Zhou Hong, where exactly is this place? It's a creepy feeling. "
One of the First Order Immortal Venerable said.
Not to mention a First Order Immortal Venerable, even a Third Order Immortal Venerable would feel an inexplicable sense of horror upon coming here.
"I'm not sure either. The compass in my hand was given to me by the academy's elder. It's used to track that aura. The compass indicates that the aura is in this forest."
Zhou Hong frowned. He was not afraid that there was any danger in the dead forest, but he was afraid that the plan would fail.
"I'm afraid this is the Forest of Extinction, the Third Heaven's Forest of Extinction, the place where the Sorcerer Ancestor fell back then. His aura has turned the entire forest into the Forest of Extinction. The so-called Forest of Extinction means that once you enter this forest, there will only be death and despair."
An old Immortal Venerable said.
This old man used to be a rogue cultivator. His experience far surpassed the students of the Immortal Martial Academy.
The old man's words caused the expressions of some of the students to change.
"However, we don't have to be afraid. There are only a few Immortal Exalted Stage Immortal Beasts here."
The old man added.
"Alright, let's go deeper. Everyone, be careful. If you find anyone suspicious, immediately kill them."
After stopping for a while, Zhou Hong directly led the group towards the depths of the Extinct Forest.
The suspects that Zhou Hong mentioned included some itinerant cultivators who had come to train, and even some people from sects. In order to avoid trouble, they naturally had to kill them without hesitation. Losing the Sinkhole Convergence Elixir was a huge matter.
If the Elder King were to find out about this, the entire academy would not be at peace.
"Ye Mo, if anything happens later, follow behind me."
Seeing Ye Mo's unsightly expression, Duanmu Zi guessed that Ye Mo might not be able to adapt to this environment.
"Senior Sister Duanmu, do you know some inside information?"
After a moment of silence, Ye Mo couldn't help but converse with Duanmu Zi in a low voice.
He had been thinking about why the Sinkhole Soul Concentrating Elixir was stolen. It was impossible for an ordinary expert to sneak into the Immortal Martial Academy. It was even more impossible to steal the Sinkhole Soul Concentrating Elixir from the academy.
Moreover, Duanmu Zi had forcefully dragged him here. Just thinking about it made him feel as though he had fallen into the plans of some big shot.
"Looks like you've already guessed it."
This time, Duanmu Zi used her will to communicate with Ye Mo, "Actually, the person who stole the Ultimate Spirit Concentrating Pill wasn't anyone. It was someone from within the academy."
"What?"
Ye Mo was shocked. "Someone from the academy stole the academy's pills? How is this possible? "
Duanmu Zi's voice rang out in Ye Mo's mind. Immediately, he felt incredulous. This pill theft was actually done by someone from the academy.
"To be precise, it was done by the Law Enforcement Court."
Duanmu Zi continued, "Although the Law Enforcement Court is a student organization, there are many elders who have joined the Law Enforcement Court. Zhou Han's name has already spread throughout the four academies. Even the other academies have Law Enforcement Courts. Originally, the pill that Elder Gu cultivated was meant to be consumed by a highly respected elder in the Elder's Hall. But Zhou Han has been in closed-door cultivation all these years and hasn't been able to break through to the Eighth Level Immortal Ancestor Realm. The Law Enforcement Court wanted to take the pill for themselves. Unfortunately, there were many objections from the Elder's Hall. That's why they thought of stealing the pill."
"Since you guys already knew about it, why didn't you stop them?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"What's the point of stopping them?" Duanmu Zi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Elder Gu is an elder of the Law Enforcement Court. Although the pill he cultivated belongs to the academy, wouldn't it be easy for him to let someone else steal it?"
Duanmu Zi couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"If this pill is successfully taken away by them, I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhou Han breaks through to the Immortal Ancestor Realm, right?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but say.
"Yes. Originally, with Zhou Han's talent, breaking through to the Immortal Ancestor Realm was only a matter of time," Duanmu Zi said. "He'll be able to break through to the Immortal Ancestor Realm in five years at most. But with the Returning Spirit Condensing Pill, he'll definitely be able to break through to the Immortal Ancestor Realm within a year."
Duanmu Zi's voice rang out again. "Moreover, I've also guessed that this Returning Spirit Condensing Pill is very likely in the hands of the group of fighters we're chasing. But Zhou Hong is a student of the Law Enforcement Court. We can't let him get his hands on it."
Ye Mo nodded. He understood the severity of the situation. He could not allow them to steal the pill, nor could he allow Zhou Hong to get his hands on it. Once Zhou Hong got his hands on the pill, he could easily come up with a random excuse to swap the pill out.
"There's someone up ahead!"
At that moment, a voice interrupted the conversation between Ye Mo and Duanmu Zi. At the end of everyone's line of sight, they saw densely packed figures. They seemed to have discovered the God Class students, and they immediately scattered and fled.
"Oh no, that aura has split into ten waves again. Looks like they're trying to completely scatter us. We have more than a hundred people here. Ten people in a group.
We'll chase after them separately, "Zhou Hong said as he led a group of people in a certain direction.
"Ye Mo, let's follow Zhou Hong."
Duanmu Zi's heart shook as she followed behind Zhou Hong. As for Ye Mo, without hesitation, he followed behind Zhou Hong as well.
When Zhou Hong saw Duanmu Zi and Ye Mo following behind their group, he couldn't help but sneer. He had long guessed that Duanmu Zi would most likely know of their plan. But just Duanmu Zi alone wouldn't be able to ruin their plan.
Dozens of people were extremely fast. Like streaks of black light, they continuously chased after the people in front of them.
But the people in front of them once again split into groups of three, splitting into four groups and fleeing in different directions.
"Brother Zhou Hong, what should we do now?" One of the students said.
One of the students said.
"Looks like they want to separate us completely. I'll go after one team by myself. The remaining twelve of you will form a team of four. The strongest will lead a team and go after them. Once I've stopped them, we'll meet up again."
With that said, Zhou Hong's speed skyrocketed and he vanished from where he was. Even Duanmu Zi did not manage to react in time.
"Damn it!"
Duan Mu Zi cursed and gave up on following Zhou Hong. As for Ye Mo, he naturally followed behind Duan Mu Zi. Duan Mu Zi's strength was the strongest in this team apart from Zhou Hong. She could only bring the three of them to chase after other teams.
Just like that, the more than a hundred Immortal Venerable students who came to track him were completely separated.
