C80 (1/2)

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a dignified cultivator like Patriarch Seven would have been killed by a student!

What was even more unexpected was that an academy had actually succeeded in obtaining the Azure Flame!

A student was at most at the peak of the Pulse Rotation Stage, but those who were able to reach this level in the Eastern Region Academy were all top experts. Although the distance between them was a little far, he was almost certain that student was not one of those top experts.

”This is too terrifying!”

He could not believe his own eyes. A cultivator had been killed by a student just like that, and in the end, he had even been burnt to ashes!

However, in his opinion, the scariest person was still the student. He guessed that this person was the one who instigated the other students to flee. It seemed that this person's intention was quite clear; he wanted to scare everyone away before attracting Shui Yang's gaze.

However, although he felt that this person was terrifying, he felt slightly pleased when he thought of Shui Ani's cruel and merciless methods.

He carefully made his way to the cold pond. Looking at the pile of ashes, he could not help but shiver. Then, he turned around and ran away.

In the deep valley.

Lin Cheng sat on a large tree. His hands were bent at the tips of his ten fingers and elemental energy was surging from his body.

As he clenched his fingers, a small ball of blue and green flames was pulsing. Lin Cheng was staring at the ball of fire without blinking. His face showed caution and he did not dare to show even the slightest bit of carelessness.

He was refining this blue flame.

Even though the cluster of flame in his hand was only one-third the size of the entire cluster of blue flames, Lin Cheng was still extremely cautious. Facing this kind of unrefined fire, he could not be more cautious.

What's more, Lin City was extremely familiar with the power of the azure flames. If even the void was distorted by the flames, one could imagine just how terrifying the azure flames were.

Moreover, this small ball of flame was already the limit of what Lin City could currently control. He had already activated all of the Yuan Power in his body in order to barely refine it. If it was a little bigger, he wouldn't even be able to control it, let alone refine it.

At this moment, the two chakras in his body were spinning like crazy. A massive amount of origin energy was being sucked into his body and converted into soul force, adding to the azure fire.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Cheng was completely immersed in the process of refining the pill.

However, right now, the Forbidden Land of Boundless was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Looking at the pale-faced students kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear, the few elders of the East Continent Academy could not help but turn ashen.

”So you're saying, instead of obtaining the azure fire, you're only concerned with fleeing and only see Seventh Elder left behind?” The Great Clan Elder's face was gloomy as he asked coldly.

The students' heads were lowered and their bodies were trembling slightly.

One of the students gathered up his courage and said tremblingly, ”Big, Grand Elder. Seventh Elder is very strong, and the floating bridge in the cold pond has already been formed. If she takes it out herself, she can definitely succeed in one fell swoop …”

Before he could finish, the Grand Elder's face turned ashen, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. He no longer dared to say anything, and quickly lowered his head.

”Humph!”

The Great Elder snorted coldly. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. ”Does that mean the academy has to thank you for creating the opportunity for Seventh Elder?”

The student immediately turned pale with fright, ”This disciple doesn't dare.” ”Please forgive us, Great Elder. We are not strong enough to cross the cold pond and obtain the Azure Blue Flames. However, under the orders of the Seventh Elder, so many of our martial brothers and sisters have already died.

”Grand Elder, I don't think these students can be blamed.”

At this moment, an elder stood beside the Great Elder and whispered, ”It's useless to punish these students. If word spreads out, it will damage the reputation of our Eastern Region Academy.” ”Besides, it's a good thing that Patriarch Seven is still in the forbidden area. According to these students, a floating bridge has been built in the cold pond. With Patriarch Seven's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to collect the azure fire.”

”Yes, Grand Elder.”

Another elder also agreed, ”Although the suppression on cultivators is very strong in this forbidden area, after all, cultivators are still cultivators. Whether it is the battle consciousness or experience, those are not something that ordinary warriors can compare with.

”In addition, there is another issue that deserves attention.” ”First Elder, don't forget to ask Seventh Elder to go down to the forbidden area. This is what Senior Brother Cheng meant. If we punish these students that have returned, it might make him unhappy …”

Hearing this, the Great Elder's expression eased up slightly. He looked towards Cheng Qin Luo, who was resting with his eyes closed, and finally nodded his head.

Indeed, allowing the anise to descend into the forbidden area was Cheng Qin Luo's intention.

Cheng Shuang also hated Shui Yang. If they punished these students who had escaped, didn't that mean that they didn't want Shui Yang to be in trouble, and were very angry that these students hadn't helped Shui Yang?

In this way, it would be equivalent to going against Cheng and himself.
