Chapter 1899: Acting as Bait

The cool autumn wind rustled the fallen leaves in the courtyard. Ahri stood aside, staring at Shengxin standing proudly with her beautiful eyes. Just by observing closely, she felt an extremely terrifying pressure.

After listening to Ji Haoran's story, Shengxin's cold eyes gradually showed a hint of coldness: "No more?"

"Yes, Bai Chen was cautious in Yaoxing Academy at the beginning. We know very little about him. If you don't believe it, you can ask Ahri."

"No need, since Dean Ji has said all, then we will meet again later."

Shengxin turned around indifferently, stepped on the ground with his feet, and the whole earth trembled.

Watching his back flying away, Ji Haoran's face gradually became ferocious: "What do you think of my Yaoxing Academy, arrogant junior...!"

Ji Haoran remembered the rudeness of Fentian Sect in his heart. One day, he will definitely get back this humiliation.

...

Ali and Dugu Jue set out on the journey to find Ji Shengyu. At the same time, in the southern region of the Xingdou Mountains...

A young man in a black robe stood proudly in the valley. The valley was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the corpses of the disciples of the Immortal King Sect were everywhere.

These people hunted in the forest all year round. Bai Chen disdained their spoils. What he wanted was to arouse the anger of the Immortal King Sect.

At this time, the Immortal King Sect was already in chaos. Including today's hunting team, they had lost a total of 372 people in less than seven days. For the Immortal King Sect, this was a disaster that had not been encountered in ten thousand years.

"It's really weird. Who dared to attack my Immortal King Sect?" Because he offended many people on weekdays, Gu Xiaotian stood on the stone steps, looking at the line of guards below, puzzled.

At this time, an old man with a hunched back slowly came from behind: "If you want to know who did it, it's easy, just go there in person."

"Grand Elder?!"

Seeing this old man, everyone was shocked, especially Gu Xiaotian, who showed a rare look of worry: "Grand Elder, don't put yourself in danger, hasn't Master Bai promised to help us?"

"Hehe, if our Xianwang Sect has to rely on Master Bai everywhere, what future will we have." The old elder looked straight at Gu Xiaotian with his calm eyes, and said earnestly: "Xiaotian, you must always remember one truth. In this world, only if you are strong can you be respected, otherwise everything is just empty talk."

Looking at the entire Xianwang Sect, only the Grand Elder dared to speak so bluntly.

"Don't go out to play during this period before I catch the enemy, do you hear me?"

"Yes..." Facing the order of the Grand Elder, Gu Xiaotian did not dare to refute. He respected the Grand Elder even more than the Sect Master.

...

A few days later

Another herb-collecting team from the Immortal King Sect appeared in the canyon. This was the only way for them to go to the Xingdou Great Forest, and it was also a road that belonged exclusively to the Immortal King Sect. According to the rules jointly set by several major forces in the Beichen Empire, no one except the Immortal King Sect was allowed to trespass on this road.

On the long ancient road, the team slowly moved forward, and the wheels rolled over the uneven stone road, sometimes bumping, just like the people in the herb-collecting team, each of them was worried.

Now the disciples of the Immortal King Sect were really scared. None of the teams that went to the Xingdou Forest could come back alive. Such a situation, like a nightmare, fell on the hearts of each of them, so that these people were so scared that they lost their appetite after hearing that the great elder had sent a mission, and even many of them secretly sent letters home before leaving.

Suicide letter...

In front of the team, a leader of the Xinghai Realm rode a tall horse and looked around with fear. Any slight movement would make his pores stand up.

In the middle and back of the team, a white-haired old man wearing an ordinary disciple's robe had a calm look and a peaceful face. Who would have thought that the great elder of the Xianwang Sect would disguise himself as a disciple of the herb-picking team like this?

Under the scorching sun, the valley was very hot, but fortunately they were about to pass through here, and the dense forest formed by the towering ancient trees in front would remove all the heat.

The herb-picking team finally passed through the valley unimpeded, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, in the Xingdou Great Forest, there are mixed forces from all sides. If the enemy takes action here, there is a certain probability that it will attract strong men from other forces, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.

There is no friendship between the three ancient sects, but they have a common rule, that is, they will never allow outsiders to enter the natural treasure of the Xingdou Great Forest without authorization!

…

The periphery of the Xingdou Great Forest is the place with the lowest level of magic beasts. The disciples of the Xianwang Sect appear here. Those magic beasts rely on their instincts. After sensing the powerful strength of these people, they flee one after another.

This also makes it convenient for everyone to purchase spiritual medicine. Here, rare and precious herbs that are hard to find in the outside world are everywhere. As long as you have enough patience, you will definitely return with a full load.

Seeing that the team has been picking various medicinal herbs on the periphery, the surroundings are still calm and there is no movement. The face of the great elder gradually dimmed.

"Go forward twenty miles."

The old and plain voice came from the mouth of the great elder, which made those who were originally lucky suddenly wilted.

They came here, to put it bluntly, to be bait. It seems that the great elder must find that person.

After walking twenty miles, as they went deeper into the Star Forest, the level of the monsters would increase. A few rays of sunlight slanted down from the dense branches and leaves, falling on the pale faces of these people, gradually restoring a little temperature to their cold bodies.

With every step, they felt that they were one step closer to death. Such fear tortured them to the point of wanting to die.

…

In the dark forest, monsters would rush in from time to time. Although those monsters did not dare to come and provoke them, they were not as afraid of them as the low-level monsters before.

Whenever a strange sound was heard, everyone would be frightened.

However, when they saw that it was a monster passing by, they could not help cursing, but as soon as they raised their eyes, they saw a young man in a black robe holding a black ancient sword, who appeared in front of them without knowing when.
