C173 Great Fiend Blood Array (1/2)

The gathering brought by Zhou Tian surprised Qin Shaojie.

These gathering tokens were clearly not left behind by Holy Flame Academy herself. In anemopyrexia's words, they were personally found by the elders that were arranged by Tian Zhou during this period of time.

It had to be said that this sort of situation was something that no one had expected. The Holy Flame Academy sent out all five hundred gathering tokens, and finally got her own clan elders to personally go and search for them. However, the core reason for all of this was still because the current Great Yan Dynasty was too crazy.

Not to mention the younger generation, even the Elders from the various large clans had all taken action to snatch the gathering orders. Numerous experts from the other empires had also swarmed in. Without a doubt, this had increased the risk and difficulty of snatching the gathering orders.

Currently, a gathering token was enough to auction off a Grade 4 pill on the black market. One could see where the boss was fighting over. If the elders of the Holy Flame Academy did not personally take action, it would be unrealistic to think about obtaining so many Assembly Badges.

If one were to say that he had placed his hopes of the first cycle of the cycle among his students, it was clear that he did not have much hope left. In this period of time, the news of students dying frequently came from the academy. It was obvious that they were step by step confirming the situation that Qin Shaojie was talking about.

If these students did not come back to their senses and quickly withdrew their hand, they would need to be cautious in facing any danger. It was likely that the number of dead and injured Holy Flame Academy disciples this time around would be even more terrifying.

Zhou Tian was well aware of this fact. Therefore, news had already spread and made the students pay more attention to their safety. After all, there was nothing that made them feel happier than being alive.

There were thirteen of them in total, a quantity that even Qin Shaojie was surprised by. Even the Holy Flame Academy would need to spend a lot of effort to get it.

However, Qin Shaojie did not reject the gathering. The more he had, the better it was for the current Qin Shaojie. After all, even if he couldn't use them, he could still give them to the disciples of other Holy Flame Academy s. Even if he didn't use them, he could reduce the number of warriors that could enter the Ancient Era's Remnants.

During this period of time, he could already faintly feel the danger of this competition for the ancient ruins within his Lingyun City. Although it was limited to the younger generation under the age of twenty, most of them were probably in the Three Spiritual Realms, which was already a force to be reckoned with.

Furthermore, Qin Shaojie didn't think that these people did not leave any trump cards.

He had a corpse puppet in his hands, and although it allowed Qin Shaojie to have more confidence, he understood, with this, it meant that other people might have treasures that could compare to Earth Origin Stage.

The true victor would be the one who died. In the ancient ruins, the final victor would be the one who managed to walk out of it alive.

A month?

The time for the ancient ruins to open was getting closer and closer, and it was even more urgent than he had initially predicted. Presumably, this was also because of the Sunburn Tree's rapid decline. Qin Shaojie had once again emphasized to anemopyrexia that this time, he should let the Su Lao keep his life force, as this time, his life force was completely useless against the Sunburn Tree. In that case, he might as well save his own life.

Moreover, the current decline of the Sunburn Tree was not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, it would be able to speed up the opening of the ancient ruins. As long as he could get his hands on the Nightmare Aroma s as soon as possible after opening them in the ancient ruins, Qin Shaojie was very sure that he would be able to save the Sunburn Tree s.

”Before the ancient ruins open, there will be a special phenomenon. And when the abnormal sign appears, all the people who have the Assembly Badge need to head to the location set by the Holy Flame Academy to check and verify it, and once they pass the time, they will not be able to enter. ”

”So, Dean Zhou means that if you don't have anything else, you shouldn't go too far in the near future. If you miss the chance to enter the ancient ruins because of this, then everything will be wasted.”

Seemingly, the anemopyrexia had also heard of Qin Shaojie's actions within the Tiangyou City, hence he hurriedly asked him to do so again.

This time, the opening of the ancient ruins was not only limited to the Holy Flame Academy, the royal family would definitely send out many experts. If he didn't follow the rules, it would be almost impossible for him to enter in private.

And Qin Shaojie had also asked about the current situation of where the various powers were fighting over the assembly token. Although this figure was not very accurate, it was still not too far off from what Qin Shaojie had guessed. The majority of Great Yan Dynasty's gathering points fell into the hands of the Holy Flame Academy, dynasties, and some other large powers. As for the scattered gathering points, they were ignored.

But other than that, there seemed to be quite a number of gathering orders from other empires, and the most obvious one was the Japanese Empire. From the news, the number of Japanese Empire s gathered at least fifteen tokens, and the number was still increasing.

This Japanese Empire seemed to have some ulterior motives this time. However, the Japanese Empire seemed to be extremely secretive, as even the Holy Flame Academy did not notice that they had acted in an excessive manner. But Qin Shaojie was very sure, that the number of people who died in the Japanese Empire's hands was not small.

The last time he overheard the Japanese Empire scout's information, was enough to explain a few things. Furthermore, there was the issue of collusion between the Japanese Empire and Qin Zhu. It seemed that this trip to the Ancient Ruins would bring about a conspiracy and bloodbath.

After sending off the anemopyrexia, Qin Shaojie sank into deep thought. He didn't know why, but as the time that the ancient ruins opened began to move forward, the unease in his heart became more and more intense.

Due to this uneasiness, it seemed like something big was going to happen. Moreover, it was not an ordinary big thing.

In this life, Qin Shaojie still lacked the freedom he had in his previous life. In his previous life, he wandered the Tian Yuan Continent alone. He did not carry the burden of emotions, nor did he have the ties of friendship.
