Chapter 2980 - 2983: The Hunt Begins

Chapter 2980: Chapter 2983: The Hunt Begins

"This great array is the Dao source land!?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes revealing disbelief.

"I understand now!"

Si Huang’er softly spoke: "The Dao source land is just a facade, or rather, it’s something they said to mislead us. If we keep searching for the entrance to the Dao source land within this great array, we might not gain anything for an entire month!"

"No way, it’s this insidious?"

Tang Jie muttered with discontent: "These people, don’t they sincerely want us to gain rewards?"

"Tang Jie, would you casually let someone enter your treasure vault to pick treasures?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "The assessment set by the Void Nether Academy doesn’t only test our combat capabilities but also challenges us in multiple ways. These obstacles set by the superpowers are to test our abilities. It’s a part of the assessment. As long as we pass, we get the reward. If not, it simply shows our lack of capability!"

Tang Jie blinked, feeling that Jiang Chen made some sense, and said nothing more.

"I will channel the Power of the Great Dao in the surroundings into the domain and refine them a bit. Everyone should absorb the refined, pure power to comprehend!"

Jiang Chen gently instructed.

"Thank you!"

Ren Cangsheng gratefully expressed his thanks.

If it weren’t for Jiang Chen, he probably wouldn’t gain any benefits at all.

Tang Jie and his group didn’t say thank you, as Jiang Chen’s assistance couldn’t be repaid with mere words of thanks. Saying thank you now would seem pretentious.

Jiang Chen said nothing more, sitting cross-legged in this world of nine-colored mist, his mind moved.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The surrounding mist trembled slightly and gathered toward Jiang Chen’s domain.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As the mist passed through the Bloody Radiance, it was instantly weakened a lot, but the Power of the Great Dao contained in it was even more refined.

Jiang Chen and the others closed their eyes, fully absorbing the Power of the Great Dao.

Outside the great array, at the foot of the mountain.

Swish swish swish!

Strands of the Great Dao Divine Light blossomed on the bodies of Jiang Chen and his six companions.

"They’ve seen through the essence of the great array!?"

"So quickly!?"

"Oh, Jiang Chen!"

Taiyuan and the others changed their expressions, looking at the bodies of Jiang Chen and his companions in surprise.

"Taiyuan Chancellor, have Elder Su bring the students over!"

Zhu Qian frowned, turned his head to look at Su Ruoyun.

Taiyuan wanted to delay a bit, but seeing the other deans staring at him, he could only take out a Message Transmitting Jade Slip and said a few words.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

In no time, the sound of breaking through the air rang out, and Su Ruyun brought twenty-one students over.

"Greetings, Chancellor, greetings, Zhao Zun!"

Su Ruoyun bowed to everyone with a fist salute.

"Elder Su, why are there only twenty-one?"

Zhu Qian glanced at the students and said solemnly: "Where are the other three?"

"Did Dean Zhu forget? Lu Qingxiang of our academy had his physical body destroyed, Zhuo Bufan’s Dao foundation was damaged, and Su Qingluan’s Primordial Spirit was injured. They can no longer fight!"

Before Su Ruoyun could respond, Taiyuan faintly replied.

Zhu Qian’s expression changed subtly, casting a deep glance at Taiyuan but said nothing more.

He felt Taiyuan was deliberately turning a blind eye on Jiang Chen and the others, but he couldn’t provide any evidence. Zhuo Bufan and the other two were seriously injured, which they had witnessed with their own eyes.

However, they also saw Jiang Chen later treating them, feeding eighth-grade elixir into Zhuo Bufan and Su Qingluan’s mouths like it was food. Still, they couldn’t just call someone to check if they really couldn’t fight, as that would disrespect Taiyuan too much!

"Everyone, your opportunity has arrived."

Fu Zhujiang didn’t dwell on Zhuo Bufan and the others, turning to the twenty-one students, and softly said, "We will give you some Array Talismans, allowing you to enter this Dao array. As long as you can drag Jiang Chen and the others out, you will have a chance to cultivate in the Dao source land of our Academy Alliance’s Cultivation Holy Lands. I hope all academies seize this chance!"

"Drag Jiang Chen and the others out!?"

"This..."

The students’ expressions changed slightly; they witnessed Jiang Chen’s strength and were reluctant to oppose him.

Some noticed Jiang Chen and his companions’ bodies nearby, revealing a hint of confusion.

"You can see this; Jiang Chen and the seven’s bodies are here. Their primordial spirits have entered the great array. Do you think you are less than Jiang Chen in his primordial spirit state?"

Fu Zhujiang understood what the students dreaded, pointed at Jiang Chen’s and his companions’ bodies, and announced in a loud voice.

"Primordial spirit!?"

"Just the primordial spirit state?"

The students’ eyes brightened, showing an excited expression.

They didn’t think they were below Jiang Chen even in his primordial spirit state!

"In this great array, there are three other students with physical bodies, but ignore those three. Your task is to drag out Jiang Chen and the others. Any means are allowed as long as you don’t kill them!"

Fu Zhujiang reminded again.

Zhao Buzu squinted slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Was this bastard suggesting these students could injure Jiang Chen and the others’ primordial spirits?

"Jiang Chen, show no mercy. With me here, even if their primordial spirits are about to collapse, I can save their lives!"

Zhao Buzu suddenly shouted toward the mountain peak ahead, then coldly looked at Fu Zhujiang: "Unless someone is willing to let the students die inside without pulling them out."

The twenty-one students’ faces slightly changed, while Fu Zhujiang felt a pang in his heart.

Had he been too obvious, angering this person was not wise!

"Zhao Zun, I meant no harm, just..."

Fu Zhujiang hurriedly began to explain.

"No need to explain to me. I’m not interested in your thoughts!"

Zhao Buzu interrupted Fu Zhujiang, turned to look at the mountain, ignoring him.

Fu Zhujiang’s face subtly changed, frowning slightly, watching Zhao Buzu with a hint of doubt.

Does Zhao Zun value those people so much? Or is he just upset that I am targeting the Void Nether Academy?

"Haha! All right, here are the Array Talismans. Students, collect them and enter!"

Taiyuan chuckled, took out twenty-one Array Talismans, and with a flick of his hand, the talismans flew in front of the students.

The students caught the talismans and glanced at their respective deans.

The six deans nodded in unison.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The students flew up, entering the mountain ahead.

Su Ruoyun glanced at Fu Zhujiang, then at Zhao Buzu, finally looking at Taiyuan, revealing a hint of confusion.

Taiyuan gave Su Ruoyun a look, softly said: "Elder Su, go check on Qingluan’s injuries."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun nodded and flew away.

She understood Taiyuan’s signal was not to meddle or intervene.

Su Ruoyun’s mind harbored a bit of suspicion, but she didn’t delve deeper.
