C86 (1/2)

BOOM!

The Ancient Desolation Forest was destined to usher in a restless night. Ever since the event, the entire forest seemed to have fallen into chaos. Countless spirit beasts were madly rushing and roaring in the forest, as though they had encountered a great calamity, stirring up the entire land.

This kind of turmoil continued for an entire night before it gradually showed signs of calming down.

At dawn, Cang Yun and Cang Li walked out from the great formation. They looked around at the messy forest, and their hearts were very unsettled.

”Something big must have happened.” Cang Yun's eyes were filled with worry. It was obvious that a Spiritual Beast would not be able to cause such a large-scale commotion.

The most worrisome thing was that as far as Cang Yun knew, this secret realm was a separate space. Even the experts of the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy would not be able to sense what was happening here.

”Brother Yun, there are spirit creatures over there.” Suddenly, Cang Ling called out.

Cang Yun looked over and saw a few Spiritual Beasts running rapidly through the forest. Everywhere they passed, the plants were all in a mess.

”Those guys are so flustered. Are they running for their lives?” Cang Ling nervously looked around and asked in surprise.

Cang Yun frowned and shook his head, ”Even if they are escaping, it shouldn't be towards the depths of the forest. Spirit beasts are extremely strong in terms of levels, and low level spirit beasts would definitely not dare to head towards the territory of high level spirit beasts.”

As he finished his words, Cang Yun fell into deep thought. The scene before him was quite strange. Normally, a Spiritual Beast rebellion would occur from the depths of the forest to the periphery. However, this kind of completely abnormal situation was impossible.

”Was it some kind of summons?”

All of a sudden, a strange conjecture appeared in Cang Yun's mind. His expression changed as he made a decision, ”Come, let's follow them and see what happens.”

As a result, the duo quietly followed behind the spirit beasts and gradually headed into the depths of the forest.

Several hours later, deep in the forest.

The two of them were still closely following the spirit beast horde. However, the difference was that the number of spirit beasts had increased from the very first to over a hundred. As time passed, there were still many spirit beasts gathering from all directions.

Such a spectacular scene caused the doubt and worry in both of their hearts to grow even stronger. There must have been a demon when something abnormal happened, and this matter was extremely strange.

”Brother Yun, there's a reaction from the Sensory Pearl, and everyone else seems to have gathered together.” Suddenly, Cang Ling whispered.

”Everyone is together?”

Cang Yun raised his eyebrows in shock. However, after sensing the direction that the Sensory Pearl pointed to, he felt relieved because that direction was where the spirit beasts were gathering.

”It seems like the upheaval this time has attracted everyone.” Cang Yun muttered in his heart. He then said to Cang Ling, ”Hurry up and find the others.”

The two of them sped up and passed the spirit beast horde as soon as they finished their words. They then flew in the direction of the Sensory Orb.

Four hours later, an enormous valley appeared in front of Cang Yun, and both of them stopped.

A fishy smell permeated the air and could be clearly heard from far away. However, what was astonishing was that even though there were so many spirit beasts gathered together, there were no signs of a fight. It was as if an organized army was quietly waiting for an order.

Occasionally, the Spiritual Beasts that had just arrived would join them and quietly land on the grass. They did not dare to rebel at all.

”Young master.”

”Cang Yun.”

At this time, Cang Yue, who was leading the other disciples, also felt Cang Yun's arrival and came closer.

Looking at the crowd, Cang Yun did not see any signs of injuries and nodded slightly, ”When did you come? Do you know what happened?”

Cang Yue shook her head. ”We just arrived not too long ago, so we don't know what exactly happened. All we know is that it should be related to last night's phenomenon.”

After she finished speaking, Cang Yue extended her jade hand, pointed to another part of the forest, and said: ”Most of the other participants of the trial have also arrived, but everyone was afraid of attracting the attention of the spirit beast horde, so they did not show themselves.”

Cang Yun looked over, and sure enough, there were several figures hiding in the forest. Each and every one of them was closely watching the movements in the valley.

”No Spirit Beasts came to cause trouble?”

However, what surprised Cang Yun was that these people's concealing techniques were not very good. To the spirit beasts that had been wandering in the forest for a long time, they were practically useless. Why did the spirit beast horde not move at all?

”No, that's what all of us find strange.” Cang Yue's beautiful eyes revealed a similar expression of doubt.

As the two of them were talking, a figure suddenly walked over with quick steps.

”Young Master Cang, our family's Young Master Peng Jie requests it.”

It was obvious that he was one of the participants in the secret realm smelting trial. As for the Young Master Peng Jie that the youth had spoken of, Cang Yun was no stranger to him; he was the young master of the Floating Cloud Realm and also one of the students of the Immortal Sun Spirit Academy.

”Are you here to discuss the matter?”

”Exactly.” The youth's reply was neither humble nor arrogant, and carried the bearing of a disciple of a great power.

”Then lead the way.” Cang Yun nodded, and at the same time, indicated for the people behind him to go as well.

A moment later, Cang Yun and the group arrived at an empty space above the valley. At this time, the empty ground was already packed with people, and a large majority of the trial disciples were gathered here.

Cang Yun's eyes were locked onto the center of the open ground. Over ten figures were gathered there, forming a small circle. Each of them had a dignified demeanor, appearing like a crane among a flock of chickens.

At this moment, a burly youth among them seemed to have sensed something. Upon seeing Cang Yun, he laughed heartily, ”Brother Cang, you've finally arrived.”

The burly youth was the young master of the Floating Cloud Realm, Peng Jie. Cang Yun returned a smile before slowly walking over.

”Brother Cang, congratulations on your recovery.” Peng Jie said with a smile and sincere congratulations.

”Thank you very much.” Cang Yun faintly smiled. He had met Peng Jie a few times before. The latter was a straightforward person, and Cang Yun also had a good impression of him.

However, a voice that was clearly not friendly to Cang Yun suddenly sounded while the two of them were conversing.

”Peng Jie, didn't I say that everyone is qualified to enter our circle?”

Cang Yun looked over. The person who spoke was a young man in white. He had a handsome face, but his entire body was emitting an arrogant aura. Moreover, Cang Yun could see quite a bit of hostility within his gaze.
