Chapter 2157: The Secret of the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces

Today, indeed, is a gathering of geniuses!

However, it’s far inferior to the Divine Artifact gathering, as most of the geniuses were captured by the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces.

But today, the focus is on the Academy of Gods, rather than these selected geniuses.

"Let me share some good news with everyone. After today’s selection, we’ll immediately head to the Northwest to confront the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces and settle old scores."

The Academy of Gods announced that after the selection, they will go seek retribution from the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces.

Instantly, a wave of excitement erupted from the crowd.

"Now, let’s welcome the youngest mentor of the Academy of Gods..."

Immediately, hundreds of eyes focused on the stage.

Soon, amidst the crowd, a black silhouette came to the center.

He was like a magician, moving as if in an illusion, with half his face covered by a mask.

Evil Power!

Surging Evil Power!

This youngest mentor was like a source of calamity, ancient evil power swirling around him.

Under Ye Chenfeng’s gaze, the mentor’s mask gradually faded, revealing a sinister face.

Scars!

A crisscross of scars covered this person’s cheeks, extremely terrifying, absolutely enough to scare a child to tears.

It was evident that this mentor had endured inhuman torment.

"Seems like a woman?"

"Who is she? Why does she seem familiar to me?"

Ye Chenfeng was startled upon seeing the mentor’s face, feeling as if he’d seen it somewhere before.

Yet he couldn’t recall where exactly.

Especially as the female mentor’s eyes held overwhelming hatred, a rare kind of hatred, appalling to witness.

Perhaps it was related to the scars on her face!

Another point, this female mentor is very strong! Incredibly strong!

Even Ye Chenfeng felt she was a bit odd, as if she wasn’t human.

But she wasn’t exactly an alien race either!

There was an indescribable strangeness about her existence.

However, to say she could defeat the Supreme Sovereign was just nonsense.

Ordinary people still knew nothing about power...

"We must thoroughly investigate the Academy of Gods!"

No matter the reputation of the Academy of Gods outside, Ye Chenfeng consistently believed they harbored ill intentions.

The female mentor, named Mie Tian, briefly appeared before the selection began.

"It seems like an acquaintance, but the exact intentions are unclear. Their venture to confront the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces surely isn’t well-intentioned. Perhaps I should follow along and see if there’s any gain."

Ye Chenfeng pondered, touching his nose.

The selection proceeded as planned, eventually bringing in Xu Xiangwan, Wang Yujun, and, at the last moment, Wang Qitian.

After all, they should thank the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces; otherwise, with those top-tier geniuses around, where would they stand a chance?

"In the future, I might not have an opportunity..."

Xu Xiangwan had her words cut short by Ye Chenfeng: "It’s okay, this is the path you’ve chosen, you must walk it. If you need help, I’ll always be there."

Ye Chenfeng didn’t blame her; after all, it was her choice.

Besides, he didn’t find her annoying.

Leaving now was just what Ye Chenfeng desired anyway.

"What? Is the Sword Child from Lingnan not participating in the Academy of Gods selection?"

"Back then you were a force that single-handedly vanquished the great ancient clan figures! Now, you should be the strongest among the contestants!"

Wang Yujun and several others approached, feeling spirited.

They looked at Ye Chenfeng arrogantly.

That attitude was as if they existed on a higher plane than Ye Chenfeng.

Even as a Sword Child from the Sword Clan, he was treated as inferior.

"Xu Xiangwan, you made a good choice. Now that the Sword Clan is in decline, with the matchless Sword Child venturing to challenge the entire Island Nation Imperial Family—it’s a matter of life and death. Joining the Academy of Gods is the right move!"

Wang Yujun remarked.

Even Xu Xiangwan couldn’t help but lower her head; not long ago, Ye Tiannan had disregarded everyone’s advice, undertaking a lone march against the Island Nation Imperial Family.

No one thought Ye Tiannan would return alive.

And without Ye Tiannan, the Sword Clan was essentially soulless.

"Indeed, Xu Goddess, from now on, we’ll be classmates and should take care of each other!"

Wang Qitian couldn’t help saying, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

Now, they couldn’t even regard the Sword Clan, as joining the Academy of Gods meant impending success and prominence.

"Yes! From now on, we’ll carry the honor of the Divine Land’s geniuses."

The others were equally thrilled.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head, letting out a cold laugh: "Since when did geniuses become as common as cabbages?"

"You..."

Many nearly burst in anger.

However, Wang Qitian held his temper, smiling: "In my eyes, the Sword Child from Lingnan is no different from a baby; I don’t care."

Xu Xiangwan remained silent; Ye Chenfeng might not compare to the Academy of Gods, yet here, he remained invincible.

Ye Chenfeng ignored them and walked away.

"Everyone, get ready. Mentor Mie Tian is taking us to eradicate the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces."

A voice from the crowd said.

Immediately, the selected geniuses gathered, a total of fifty following Mie Tian to the Northwest region of Divine Land.

For a moment, the whole world focused on the Academy of Gods’ movements.

Confronting the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces was a big issue, especially with the global forum broadcasting the event live.

On the road, the Academy of Gods made no stops, directly arriving in the desert of the Northwest Divine Land.

In hiding, Ye Chenfeng was astounded, it seemed the Academy of Gods had some skill.

Chances are, they had pinpointed the location of Su Hanjing and the others.

As they gradually entered the depths of the desert, the Academy of Gods’ actions slowed.

In the desert depths, not a soul was seen, not even a ghost.

The place was engulfed by raging sandstorms, shrouding the sky as if the heavens were draped in a black curtain.

"Stop here!"

Mie Tian commanded, and everyone from the Academy of Gods halted.

The Academy of Gods had a communications vehicle, seemingly trying to locate a position.

But the sandstorm appeared to be a significant hindrance.

"Once we make a move and dispel these sandstorms, they’ll surely discover us."

Someone attempted to use powerful divine skills to disperse the sand, but Mie Tian stopped them.

"Then what’s the plan, Mentor Mie Tian?"

Someone asked.

Mie Tian snorted: "Leave it to me!"

Soon after, Mie Tian rotated like a star brimming with evil power, wisps of which flooded and enveloped the entire desert.

She was sensing the location of the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces...

Ye Chenfeng seemed to understand why they were called the Ancient Loulan Evil Forces, perhaps there was some supremely evil creature.

And Mie Tian just happened to be able to sense this supremely evil creature.

Or perhaps Mie Tian’s purpose was for this evil creature...

Ye Chenfeng followed in Mie Tian’s footsteps, slowly seeking out the location.

Before long, Mie Tian’s eyes glinted with a chilly light: "Found it!"
