Chapter 1705 - 1015: Investigation_2

The twenty literati from the Literary Guild each have their own super fans, like King-level masters, or clan leaders from the upper echelons...

So, even if the people under the Greedy Wolf Star are reckless, they know not to cause trouble for their master in order to keep their privileges.

However, Qin Mang is usually very arrogant and aggressive, being part of the direct core subordinates of the Greedy Wolf Star, he’s proud, at most not excessive. Apologizing is out of the question, and he even strolls into the room, sees a stack of manuscripts on the table, then confirms it’s not the person he’s looking for, and leaves with a smile.

After he leaves, Sui Yi closes the door and turns to glance at the book that appeared on the table.

The book that appeared is actually a person.

Seemingly aware of Sui Yi’s gaze, the book transforms, turning into a human shape.

A man.

Certainly, he’s used a special potion that can transform a human into an object.

Sui Yi had only heard that the dean of Pharmacognosy at the Ice Gleam Academy could perform this trick; she didn’t expect this person has such a special potion.

This man is tall and thin, with cold yet calm remorse, "Sorry, I’ve involved you, Teacher."

Clearly, he also saw the content of the manuscript earlier and thus confirmed that Sui Yi is the female teacher recently gaining fame.

"I don’t like trouble."

Sui Yi’s words made the man nod slightly, "I understand, as soon as we reach the Dark Forest, I’ll leave."

Being hidden in someone else’s compartment already poses enormous danger without permission, if truly discovered, it’s impossible to explain, so he is remorseful. But the situation left him with no choice but to stay a while longer.

The Dark Forest is an extremely dangerous area between Golden Shine and the wilderness.

However, this person dares to flee there, likely intending to use the Dark Forest’s antenna to evade Qin Mang’s pursuit.

Sui Yi senses that this person seems injured... after all, being chased by the Cloud Ascendant Fourth Level’s Qin Mang.

But she didn’t say anything, focused on writing and reading, while the other person remains silent and reserved, sitting quietly on the chair, occasionally watching Sui Yi write. He realizes this person definitely knows his identity, yet his personality is very detached, only... his moral compass seems kind.

Kind? Sui Yi never considers herself kind. No matter what she does, she follows her own principles, submitting to her heart, while some submissions lead to serious consequences. Broadly speaking, it’s hard to say whether the people she saved or harmed are more.

Until reaching the Dark Forest, Xing Yuanye didn’t directly exit from Sui Yi’s compartment but slipped into another area under the cover of darkness and then left...

Almost at the instant he exits the compartment, he triggers the protective formation enveloping the train, Qin Mang rushes out with his team, swiftly chasing into the horrible darkness of the Dark Forest.

Meanwhile, in a Beast Forest within the Ice Gleam District, Li Luo and his group dare not underestimate the notorious peril of this high-level world, exploring cautiously. Thankfully having communicated with Pu Qinghan before, knowing her precise location, or they would’ve struggled to find her.

But in recent days, having acquired those resources, their level has truly surged, likely because they’ve stayed on Earth too long, the realms reached, but the resources were far behind. Now, lacking nothing, their level has risen.

Li Luo now is the Fifth Level Void-breaking, Yao and Chu Yezui are at the Fourth.

Of course, they all know Ye Zixu already broke through the Fifth, now charging at Cloud Ascendant, and Chu Yezui can solo kill at Cloud Ascendant; as for the most explosive and combative Yi, she earlier could already leap to the Fifth.

This is the progress made after arriving at Dragon Ape, all three know they’re more suited to remain at Dragon Ape, so...

Suddenly the trio sees a massive purple ray of light emanate from the forest...

Their gazes meet and quickly spring forth...

The forest’s trees stand tall, flowers and plants abound, yet now it’s slightly desolate.

Due to the Cloud Ascendant battle.

When the trio arrives, Pu Qinghan has already finished the battle, sitting on a nearby stump eating an Energy Gem, beside her is the earlier-returned Little Nine Tails.

She lifts her eyes toward them, smiling: "Long time no see."

Suddenly seeing a beautiful elegant shadow queen smile softly at you in such a wild jungle, yet around are scattered remains...

Two bodies not destroyed by the purple light.

Cloud Ascendant Level?

Nearby is a massive boiling cauldron, within it churns the flesh and bones of exotic beasts. Clearly, some survive with broken legs and lingering breath, apparently a small population, seemingly from the White Tiger family.

Several tiger cubs are quite cute.

"Essence Refining Bead?" Li Luo and the group’s expressions slightly change.

Having only heard Sui Yi and Yi mention it before, they didn’t know what it actually looks like.

It’s truly devastating.

"Yes, this is small-scale; a few days ago I saw a large group boil one thousand at a time..."

Pu Qinghan gently exhales, strokes Little Nine Tails’ head, "But I haven’t told Sui Yi about this... afraid of affecting her judgment."

Sui Yi knows about this, yet didn’t realize its severity. If told, she might feel compassion, unable to remain calm facing the Dragon and Ape Sects’ strife, which wouldn’t benefit her safety. Therefore, Pu Qinghan kept it quiet, planning to bring it up once Gu Sansi and others arrive, to hear their suggestions.

Yao examines the items on the two Cloud Ascendants, finally says: "We need to address this now... These people belong to Purple Sky Ape Tower, such large-scale exotic beast hunting, Essence Refining Bead, indicates the Purple Sky Administrative Region is preparing for war... Ice Gleam District Three just concluded but overall still looks at Purple Sky, Sui Yi’s already headed to Purple Sky, she’s likely searching for something within... with her certain luck..."
