Chapter 560: Sima Ye’s Crisis! (1/2)
When he pulled out his sword, blood sprayed out. The surrounding area was littered with the corpses of beasts and Shadow Death assassins.
This carnage wasn’t done by Chu Tianyi alone. Per Bai Xiaofei’s request, Sima Ye and Chu Tianyi were escorting Luo Han, who was stealthily carrying Xiong Shou, back to Starnet. Along the way, they came across many similar people, and the team kept expanding. However, apart from Sima Ye and Chu Tianyi, no one else knew that they were travelling with some hidden people.
“We’re almost at the outer layer. Keep it up, everyone, we will be safe once we reach Starnet!” a puppet master wearing a Starnet teacher cloak said with a hint of excitement. Although he didn’t know why the academy never sent help, he firmly believed that everything would be better when they returned to Starnet.
There were three other teachers in the team like him, and they were the only group who came out from Starnet. Unfortunately, they knew nothing about what happened inside.
“Teacher Zhang, let’s have a short rest,” said Sima Ye. Although he didn’t want to rain on their parade, he sensed a crisis coming.
The road had been a little too smooth, which didn’t make sense with the tense atmosphere. If at first their number was too small to attract the attention of the enemy, then what had happened later until now simply could not be explained.
Therefore, the only possibility was that the enemy had absolute confidence to stop their group outside Starnet!
However, Sima Ye being able to think of this didn’t mean that everyone else could, at least the teacher in front of him didn’t.
“Sima Ye, I know that you are a top elite of Gods Amongst Men and the Command Ranking, but we are only less than two hours away from the academy and we haven’t seen a single advanced magical beast. What are you afraid of?”
In the face of Teacher Zhang’s question, Sima Ye had the urge to strangle him. Motherf*cker, how did this idiot become a teacher?!
“If I remember correctly, the magical beasts around these parts should have been cleaned long ago, but now they have appeared again and many are at the Enlightened Rank. Teacher Zhang, does this not tell you anything at all?” Sima Ye controlled his emotions and questioned, rendering Teacher Zhang speechless.
“Teacher, I think what Senior Sima said makes sense. Since we’re so close anyway, a little rest won’t hurt. It’s a good thing for everyone to recover to their best condition,” Qin Lingyan said as she walked over, giving Teacher Zhang an out.
Luckily, Teacher Zhang accepted and agreed to Sima Ye’s proposal with an unwilling expression.
“Thanks a lot.” Sima Ye heaved a sigh of relief and smiled weakly.
“There is nothing to thank. We are all in the same boat now. If something really happens, no one will survive,” Qin Lingyan stated and also went to another spot. Her team was among the retreating, but the leader was only a Grandmaster Rank and held little influence.
This big group had also gathered Xing Nan, Qi Wei, and Zhu Nuo. They originally wanted to find Bai Xiaofei, but because their team wasn’t strong enough and they had also learned that Sima Ye was sent back by Bai Xiaofei, they decided to stay.
Although their strength had increased by quite a bit, there was little they could help Bai Xiaofei with at a time like this.
