The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Just as Ling Yan'er and the others were chatting, after the formation plate checked the spiritual power of more than a dozen people, the person who was supposed to take over the formation plate did not make any move.

The men around him stepped back and drew their weapons.

"Someone can actually track demonic energy." The man in black glanced at Ling Yan'er and the others and said, "I underestimated you. Unlike this bunch of losers, I followed them for a whole day and found nothing useful."

He seemed to notice the difference in Ling Yan'er, and he came to Ling Yan'er in a flash. The weapon that looked like the Emei Spear was blocked by Ling Ziye's knife.

Ling Yan'er grabbed Dongfang Zichu and quickly retreated to the outside door. At this time, everyone else reacted and joined Ling Ziye in dealing with the demon cultivator who was emitting black energy.

Dongfang Zichu struggled twice but couldn't break free. Ling Yan'er whispered, "Don't run around. It's safer to follow me."

Dongfang Zichu rolled his eyes. Is it really safe to follow you?

That demon cultivator did seem to be at the Nascent Soul stage, but a group of Nascent Soul cultivators were not at a disadvantage against him.

Ling Yan'er watched for a while and then stopped. Unlike the previous fights in the secret realm, the light pollution from this fight between a group of Nascent Soul cultivators was too serious, especially the black aura that permeated the demonic cultivators. She couldn't see clearly at all, and the flying sand and rocks also affected her vision.

Ling Yan'er had just walked out a short distance when she saw the victim's parents, whom she had met before, approaching. Seeing Ling Yan'er, they hurriedly asked, "What happened? Why did they start fighting?"

"Don't worry, they just found a demon cultivator, and they're fighting demon cultivators." Ling Yan'er said, "With so many cultivators here, one demon cultivator is nothing to be afraid of."

Just as Ling Yan'er finished speaking, she heard a loud bang behind her and the courtyard wall collapsed.

The demon cultivators are nothing to be feared, but... this courtyard may not be saved at the same time... probably.

The two of them looked around the yard, and saw a flash of swords and sabers in the yard, and then stopped in the dust that gradually became clear.

Ling Yan'er turned around and looked back, and saw that everyone standing on the ruins was looking in the same direction.

And there, there was only the gradually dissipating black fog, and the demon cultivator had disappeared without a trace.

Ling Ziye walked towards Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er looked at him and asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Ling Ziye shook his head: "It's okay, but he got away."

"He ran away with so many people around?" Ling Yan'er was shocked.

"He fell to the Nascent Soul stage after being injured." Ling Ziye explained, "I don't know what his original realm was. The highest level of cultivation here is also at the Nascent Soul stage, which is definitely not as good as his."

What Ling Ziye didn't say was that the demon cultivators themselves grew up in killing, and the higher the cultivation level of the demon cultivators, the stronger they are.

Almost all of them have their own unique secret method of teleportation, otherwise they would not be able to grow at all.

Ling Yan'er nodded: "Indeed, if he could be caught so easily, he wouldn't dare to show up here."

This was clearly a provocation. He was betting that even if the cultivators of the Human Race discovered him, they would not be able to stop him.

Ling Ziye asked: "Where are we going next?"

Ling Yan'er touched her stomach and said, "Let's go eat first. I'm hungry."

Song Mingcheng walked over and said, "Let me treat you to a meal."

Ling Yan'er looked at him, feeling a little surprised. Is this city lord so approachable?

But she was not polite and immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

Song Mingcheng invited Ling Yan'er and the others to a private room in a restaurant. After Ling Yan'er finished her meal, he asked again, "How did you discover that demonic energy?"

Being in the same Nascent Soul stage as the demon cultivator, it was impossible for him not to be able to detect the demon cultivator's demonic energy, and the jade pendant and pearls left at the place where Xuan'er disappeared were indeed Xuan'er's things.

Given the cautious nature of the demon cultivators, it is impossible for them to leave behind such an obvious thing. It is not right to say that it is obvious. He checked it several times with his spiritual sense. Before Ling Yan'er walked there, he dared to guarantee that there was nothing there!

Ling Yan'er could only shake her phone and say, "If you want to ask me about the principle, I definitely don't know. All I can tell you is that I rely on this exclusive magic weapon."

Song Mingcheng certainly knew that Ling Yan'er relied on her mobile phone. After all, every time before those demonic energy and items appeared, Ling Yan'er would click on her mobile phone.

But Ling Yan'er refused to continue, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just asked, "Did you find anything else in Xixi's yard?"

Ling Ziye took out a map from his storage ring and said, "Apart from the demonic energy, this is all I have."

Song Mingcheng took the map and looked at it, frowning and asking, "Why is it a map of Lingyun City?"

Ling Yan'er leaned over to take a look and said, "Where else could this map be if not from Lingyun City?"

Ling Yan'er frowned. She had a bad feeling after seeing this map.

If only one person goes missing a day, how could the mission be completed in a week? To put it bluntly, even if thirty people go missing in a month, the number is not that large for a city.

But we only gave one week, which means it must be resolved within this week, otherwise, it will be a very bad result.

Based on her experience reading novels, watching TV, and playing games, she said in the silence of the few people, "Actually, I have a guess. Giving us the map is a hint that the demon cultivator's goal is not to kill a few people, but to set up a formation, and it's a formation of the level of a city massacre."

Only in this way can it make sense for the game to give her a task with a one-week time limit.

The weight of these words made Song Mingcheng a little hesitant to believe: "How could you have such an idea? Massacring a city is not something that can be done by just one demon cultivator. I have never heard of such a formation."

"So it's just a guess." Ling Yan'er said.

She took the map from Song Mingcheng and looked for the locations of the previously abducted children. She found one in the south and one in the north, and today they were going to the northwest corner. She pointed to the opposite corner on the base map and said to Ling Ziye, "We'll go there later. I have a feeling that the demon cultivator will definitely come here."

"What if he doesn't go here?" Song Mingcheng said unhappily.

He felt very conflicted. He believed Ling Yan'er's words, but he didn't dare to believe them. After all, massacring a city was no joke!

Ling Yan'er gave him a strange look and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. We can find a place to stay nearby. When there are new victims tomorrow, we'll know where he went."

Song Mingcheng was choked by Ling Yan'er and wanted to get angry on the spot. He stood up and took two steps. Seeing Ling Yan'er was still sitting, he stopped and took a deep breath. "Why don't you go? I want to go with you to see if your guess is possible."

Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu looked at each other, then mouthed to someone: Why is he following us?

Dongfang Zichu shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.
