Sauron pressed on quickly as he said, “Don’t say that, Nina… We’re all Conferred Knights. Have you forgotten that other people had also taken care of us when we first came?

“Now, a tremendous amount of information is surging into his brain. If his brain can’t take it and he enters a state of frenzy, he may become a complete lunatic, and his whole life would be ruined.”

Nina shook her head, channelled more force on her feet and sped up, “Alright, alright. Let’s quickly chase up to him and bring him back. Thank goodness that this lad is just a new student, so it won’t take us much effort. Let’s hurry.”

The two of them were Conferred Knight from two selections ago. Currently, they were both at second transition level 24. To them, catching a new student was as simple as an eagle trying to catch a little chick.

They sped up furiously, bringing along streams of strong gales and whistling sound waves. They continued charging forth, but Fang Xingjian was nowhere to be seen.

A hint of astonishment flashed in their eyes. Then as they exchanged a glance, a series of loud booms rang out under their feet, and air currents soared. They continued to increase their speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were already at five times that of supersonic speed. However, Fang Xingjian was still nowhere to be seen.

Sauron let out a loud shout and turned into a tornado, sweeping deep into the Sacred Land. At the same time, he shouted out from the front through the trembling air created by his Reduced Force Field.

“I’ll go up first and check it out. I’ll wait for you at the front.”

With a tremendous boom, he stepped explosively onto the pathway under his feet, leaving deep footprints. Countless amounts of sand, dust, and shattered rocks flew up as Sauron gradually disappeared from the purple-haired Nina’s sight.

However, their speed was already very fast. Although Sauron continued to speed up, Nina had caught up with him not long after because he had come to a stop.

Nina shouted, “What’s wrong? Where’s that guy? You didn’t manage to catch him?”

Sauron frowned and pointed to the front. Nina was just about to continue on when Sauron pulled her back.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who wanted to save him?” Nina could not understand and asked Sauron, “Why aren’t we giving chase?”

Sauron pointed to the sign in front and said, “We’re now at the area with sixty-nine times the density. If we were to proceed, it would be the area of seventy times density or more. We don’t have the approval to enter.”

“What? We’re already at sixty-nine times the density?” Nina looked at the sign and said in astonishment, “But we didn’t catch up with that guy on the way! Could it be that he had dashed into the forest?”

Sauron shook his head and said, “Not possible. If he were to dash into the forest, he’d be immediately struck by the powers left behind by the previous generations. We’d have long seen him if he had done so.”

“Then, he has found a house and has hidden in it?”

“The area with fifty to seventy times the density is the most popular one. There are very few empty houses, and he’d need to dash coincidentally into an empty one. Moreover, we’ve been chasing so closely behind him. How could it be possible that we didn’t see him going through the handover procedures?”

If a person wanted to enter an empty house in the Sacred Land, the individual would need to go through the handover procedures with the guardian ferocious beasts in the area in order to let them affirm the person’s identities and understand the individual’s intent for entering. Only then would they remember the person, protect the person, and chase away other people who wished to enter. This would, thus, ensure that the person would not receive any disruption from his cultivation.

Nina said impatiently, “This is impossible, that is impossible. So, what on earth is it?”

“There’s only one possibility. That guy’s speed is so fast that he was able to lose us with great ease, and he also has the rights to enter the areas in the Sacred Land beyond seventy times the density.” Sauron smiled helplessly and said, “This newcomer is really not simple. We’ve shown our concern to the wrong person. He’s much stronger than us.”

“Hmph, the new students these days know how to play a fool at their young age?” Nina spoke with spite. “Do you remember how he looks like? When we get back, let’s check out just who he is.”
