The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Is it because their senior sister is missing?

But their eldest sister shouldn't be the first cultivator to disappear in Furong City, so why do they are the only ones who remember her?

What similarities do they have?

Dongfang Zichu then said, "I also remember that old man asked Yan'er to leave Furong City as soon as possible."

I don’t know why he said not to let Ling Yan’er get involved. What is the inside story of this city?

It was hard not to think that he knew something, but Ling Yan'er hadn't caught up with him just now, and because they didn't know, they missed the opportunity to catch up. If they went now, it would be too late.

Although their spiritual consciousness was looking at Ling Yan'er, they did not listen to Ling Yan'er's conversation with others, but just paid attention to that side.

Ning Wushuang looked at the three people's solemn faces and asked, "Shall we continue?"

"It probably won't be necessary." Ling Yan'er said, "Let's go back."

Originally, she only planned to test one group of people, but she didn't expect that the results would be out just after she came out and before she even reached her destination.

I originally wanted to walk a little further to test this situation, but before I even walked a few blocks, I already knew the answer.

It is now basically confirmed that Ning Wushuang cannot remember the appearance of some people.

Although the cause is still unknown, there is no need to conduct further tests. However, Ning Wushuang's ability to test it out is much better than them testing it on strangers.

There is no need to talk too much or make too many explanations.

Although I didn't want Ning Wushuang to participate before, I didn't expect that Ning Wushuang's participation would not be useless.

Ling Yan'er was about to go back when she looked up and saw a familiar cloth shop. Ling Yan'er had ordered several sets of Dongfang Zichu's clothes here before. She changed her mind and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get some clothes. I ordered several sets of clothes here before."

After entering the cloth shop, the enthusiastic owner took out Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu's clothes. Ling Yan'er paid the bill and put the clothes into her gaming backpack. Then she walked out and said to the others, "Let's go back. I'll tell you my guess when we get back."

A few people went back without objection.

Not only Ling Yan'er, they also had preliminary ideas. There must be a magic trick here that would make people forget it as soon as they saw it.

Moreover, it was a large-scale and extremely advanced technique, which was why a cultivator like Ning Wushuang could have seen it but immediately forgotten it.

And if that is the case, then there is a reason why the people in the City Lord's Mansion have seen them but do not recognize them, and are even unwilling to convey the message again.

They have already forgotten the three of them. Even if they are willing to go, they may forget the two of them as soon as they turn around. Even if they agree in person, it will be useless.

After returning to the base, several people gathered in the hall again. Sheng Ze was the first to speak: "Perhaps a few of us have also been affected by this spell. The fact that we still remember those people is evidence."

They have seen it, but still remember that this is someone who has been hit by the spell. It is normal for people like Ning Wushuang to have seen it but not remember it.

Ling Yan'er nodded and said, "That's what I guessed too. They must have cast some kind of spell on certain people, which would make anyone who had seen them forget about them and think they had never appeared."

But they should not have encountered anyone who cast a spell on them. Ling Yan'er is fine, but Dongfang Zichu should not have been under a spell without knowing it.

Sheng Ze said to Ning Wushuang, "Junior Sister Ning, please go out first and don't get involved in this matter, lest you get involved too."

Even their eldest sister disappeared without anyone noticing. Ning Wushuang's cultivation level was even lower, so getting involved might not be a good thing.

Ling Yan'er had already been implicated and had no way to retreat.

"It's fine with me." Ning Wushuang said, "My generation of cultivators is to go against the will of heaven. How can I not go when I know something is going to happen? If I didn't know about this, it would be fine. But if I knew, how can I not participate? If you don't let me go, and if you can't come back, I will definitely regret it later. Regret will cause inner demons, and then fail to overcome the tribulation, so I will definitely not back down."

These words left the four of them speechless. Sheng Ze could only hold his forehead and said, "This isn't a good thing. Why do we have to participate?"

"One more person means more strength." Ning Wushuang said, "Anyway, there's no way I'm going to back down."

Seeing Ning Wushuang's resolute attitude, Sheng Ze did not try to persuade her any further. He simply said, "I'll send a message to my junior brothers and sisters who are still in the sect to help me search the library to see if there are any similar techniques and try to find a way to break it."

"I'll also ask my master through voice transmission." Ning Wushuang also said, "I wonder if my master has heard of similar spells and formations."

"Oh, that's right." After being reminded by Sheng Ze, Ling Yan'er remembered that she had an encyclopedia library. When Sheng Ze and Ning Wushuang sent a message back to the sect, Ling Yan'er also took out her mobile phone and began to search for forgotten spells and formations in the library.

For such a large city, the possibility of a formation is actually greater.

After all, if a spell is cast on a specific person at one time, it is easy to be discovered and leave traces. It is not surprising that Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu did not find anything after two days of investigation, but Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin did not find anything either, so it is likely not a spell.

If it is a formation, it would be much more reasonable. People who meet certain conditions will be randomly selected by the formation. If they are not face to face, they will be forgotten by others. When they disappear one day, no one will remember that they existed.

So is it true that people started disappearing in Furong City only two years ago?

Could it be that people have been missing for a long time, but no one knew about it, and now someone knows that it's just because the formation has existed for too long, so loopholes have begun to appear.

Oh, no, there is actually no loophole.

Ling Yan'er remembered that Ning Wushuang immediately forgot her conversation and interactions with the old man after he turned around.

Therefore, only those who are already in the formation know that someone is missing, and the missing person has also been bewitched. Those who are not bewitched will never know that someone is missing in the city and will remain unaware.

And this magic may one day be used on those who have no idea that someone is missing, and then they will disappear from the eyes of others.

Ling Yan'er thought about it and found it extremely terrifying.

After a chill, she looked at the search results on her phone. There were dozens of forgotten spells. She clicked on them and saw that several descriptions were for single use. That was definitely not the case. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like these people were for single use.

I watched a few more and found that they were also used on people within a range. All the people in that range lost their memories, and the situation seemed different from what they encountered.

Ling Yan'er changed the keywords of formation and looked again. There were still many formations that appeared. After eliminating most of them based on the names, Ling Yan'er took out a book introducing formations.

It was called "Complete Explanation of Formation Techniques," and it was a book as thick as a brick. Ling Yan'er took it out and shoved it towards Dongfang Zichu, "Come, take a look."

After all, Dongfang Zichu's spiritual sense was much faster than hers, and Dongfang Zichu knew formations, so he was definitely more familiar with them than her.

Dongfang Zichu was silent for a moment when such a thick book was placed in front of him, and then he reached out to take the complete explanation of the formation.

When he finished reading, Sheng Ze and Ning Wushuang, who had gone to deliver the message, also received the news from their master.

There is no news about this formation or magic, and no one has ever heard of it.

Dongfang Zichu also closed the book and returned it to Ling Yan'er, saying, "It doesn't look like a formation."

Although this book is said to be a complete explanation of formations, it only introduces the formation of various formations, the functions of formations and the founders of each formation. It is not a book on how to set up formations.

Judging from the formations he knew, what he said should be true.

Sheng Ze and Ning Wushuang also said, "No one has ever heard of this spell. Either the forgetfulness spell can make people forget a certain person, or there is a spell that can make people forget something on a large scale. The situation in Furong City is indeed a bit bizarre."

It would be fine if Ning Wushuang's sect was relatively small, but no one knew that Shengze's sect had a long tradition, so it was possible that no one had ever heard of this formation or spell.

After hearing everyone's news, Ling Yan'er frowned in confusion and muttered to herself, "That's impossible. If it's not a large-scale formation, then what is the reason?"

No one has an answer to this question, and the formation is the most reasonable explanation they can think of.

After all, spells basically need to be cast by the opponent. It makes sense to cast it on ordinary people, but if it is cast on Shengze and the others, wouldn’t it force the two of them to stay and investigate?

If they didn't remember this, and didn't remember their missing senior sister, they might have left Furong City long ago, and there was no way they would stay here.

Ling Yan'er couldn't think of anything, so she could only sigh and say, "Let's just take it one step at a time. We're all in the same room tonight, and hopefully watching me disappear will provide some clues."

We can only look for clues from her own departure. Even if there are no clues, it would be fine if it could provide some ideas.

Sheng Ze said with some concern: "We will do our best to protect you and will not watch you being abducted. But if we are not strong enough and you are still abducted, if you see our senior sister Xia Yunyun, tell her that we know her and she will protect you."

Ling Yan'er nodded nonchalantly, "Okay, don't worry. Didn't I go to the life and death arena with He Zhiqu that day? I was able to return safely even if I faced He Zhiqu. Even if I was kidnapped this time, no one can harm me."

Speaking of He Zhiqu, Ling Yan'er felt a little strange. After she came down from the ring, He Zhiqu didn't bother her again. This was not like He Zhiqu's character.

He even came to her to the life and death arena because of Mo Yun's matter that day. He was given such a big honor in the arena, how could there be no news at all.

Of course, Ling Yan'er also knew why He Zhiqu wanted to go to the Life and Death Arena, because the use of magic was prohibited in such a city, and the only place where magic could be used was the Life and Death Arena.

If a monk were to fight casually on the street, it would be equivalent to going against the city lord. Even though He Zhiqu was arrogant, he knew that there were some people he could not mess with, after all, he was on someone else's territory.

Of course, the previous time Ling Yan'er and her friends in Lingyun City encountered a demon cultivator and attacked him directly was a special case.

Hearing Ling Yan'er mention He Zhiqu, Sun Youlin said, "How can He Zhiqu's cultivation compare to the person who was able to quietly abduct Senior Sister? Even Senior Sister disappeared without a trace. You must not let your guard down."

"I know." Ling Yan'er nodded.

But Ling Yan'er was not too worried about her own safety, as she still had confidence in her protective shield.

Afterwards, they discussed some details about possible situations and response methods that might be encountered at night when Ling Yan'er was kidnapped.

However, at night, it was of no use at all.

Because they decided to leave Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin in the room, Ling Yan'er did not change her clothes when she went to bed. In order not to be separated from Ling Yan'er, Dongfang Zichu hid in Ling Yan'er's sleeve relying on his small size.

Shengze Sun Youlin and Ning Wushuang were both sitting on chairs not far away, keeping an eye on Ling Yan'er and preparing to deal with any emergencies.

Ling Yan'er, who was being stared at by several pairs of eyes, couldn't sleep and kept playing with her mobile phone. However, after playing for a while, she couldn't resist being too sleepy and didn't know when she fell asleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, Sheng Ze and the other two saw Ling Yan'er suddenly disappear from the bed.

Although they were mentally prepared for Ling Yan'er's disappearance, they were still shocked when Ling Yan'er suddenly disappeared from the bed without even a trace of spiritual power fluctuation.

The moment Ling Yan'er was about to disappear, the three of them reacted very quickly and pounced on her. Almost at the same time, the three of them touched Ling Yan'er's clothes before she disappeared, but a moment later, only Ning Wushuang was left.

There was no message left by the other people in the room. Ning Wushuang was puzzled as to why he was the only one who stayed.

After a few breaths, Ning Wushuang frowned, wondering why she was still in this room so late at night. She returned to her previous room and began to meditate.

Ling Yan'er opened her eyes and found herself still in bed. Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin were still lying on the bed. Dongfang Zichu emerged from Ling Yan'er's sleeve, looked around, and asked, "Where's Ning Wushuang?"

After Ling Yan'er sat up, she found that only Ning Wushuang was not there. Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin looked in the direction where Ning Wushuang had been before. They all came over, but Ning Wushuang was not there.

"If you can come, why can't Ning Wushuang?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin shook their heads: "I don't know, I remember the three of us touched your clothes at the same time."

Although Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin have higher cultivation levels, Ning Wushuang is a girl and does not have so many concerns. The two of them also have to be careful to only touch Ling Yan'er's clothes and not Ling Yan'er.

Sheng Ze, who was closer to Ning Wushuang, was certain that Ning Wushuang must have bumped into Ling Yan'er when the three of them rushed over together, but he didn't know why they all came over, but Ning Wushuang was not there.
