"Silly girl, just surrender!"

"No-"

The mist dissipated, and the original camping place was in a mess, with several corpses that had been gnawed beyond recognition on the ground.

In the second half of the night, figures shrouded in darkness wandered here from time to time, and occasionally a voice was heard: "Did they really run away? Running so fast? It seems that we should check who has left the academy in the past few days." It was

not until dawn that Chi Changye and Gu Yao appeared on a big tree. Gu Yao looked at the dead body below with a complicated expression. Even though the other party had spoken rudely to him and Chi Changye yesterday, he lost his life in the blink of an eye. Such a result was a little difficult for him to accept.

"Xiaoyao, do you blame me for not rescuing them?" Chi Changye asked in a low voice, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes. This scene did not arouse much emotion in him at all and was far less important than Gu Yao's thoughts.

Gu Yao shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. You also said that there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator among those people last night. It seems that they were targeting Shi Yanyan and her group, and it is even possible that they were targeting the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, the target would not be so clear, and they would not have dispatched Foundation Establishment cultivators. Asking Brother Ye to rescue them would harm Brother Ye. Let's report the news."

They stayed here for half the night. Gu Yao clearly noticed that several groups of people came before and after, just to catch the two fish that slipped through the net. Perhaps they did not expect that the two young Qi Refining cultivators could escape without a trace, not knowing that they were hiding here. The cultivator who could control the ghost mist insect was really too suspicious.

This world is indeed much more dangerous and cruel than the interstellar world. Only one's own strength is the foundation for survival in this world!

"Okay, report the news." Chi Changye agreed.

A firework rose to the sky and bloomed. Gu Yao and Chi Changye left enough reminders and quickly left this place. They should not reveal their identities. There is no guarantee that these people do not have insiders in the academy.

The emergency signal attracted the attention of many people in the academy. Not long after Gu Yao and Chi Changye disappeared, several rainbow lights passed by from a distance. Seeing the scene of this place being swept by, they were shocked. What happened at night, and who sent the emergency signal?

"Look, there are words on the ground."

Several figures quickly landed on the ground, and the leader was Teacher Fang, who was familiar to Gu Yao and Chi Changye. He first used the photo stone to record the scene, and then checked what was written on the ground.

The words were left by Gu Yao, erasing all traces that might have left their identities, and only explaining the identity of the person who was abducted, the ghost mist insects that appeared at night were controlled by monks, and that the opponent had a foundation-building monk.

"How should we handle this? I didn't expect this gang of thieves to come to our academy's trial ground and attack our students. How despicable!"

"This should be true. The person who sent the signal and left the message was probably a student of our academy. We handled it properly and didn't act impulsively."

"I think we should split into two groups. One group will follow the clues and the other group will notify the head of the Shi family of the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce. This incident is likely aimed at the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce."

"Okay, then let's split up."

The academy responded quickly. After finding out the identity of the murdered student, they issued an announcement in the academy that a group of evildoers had appeared in Quqiu Mountains. Before the result was obtained, students should try to reduce going out, and students who were training in the mountains should return to the academy as soon as possible. At the same time, the academy also issued tasks in the mission hall,

but the level of the tasks was relatively high, targeting the foundation-building monks. This was to mobilize the academy's foundation-building monks to participate in the action of catching the criminals.

This announcement caused quite a stir in the academy. After further investigation, it was known that the people in trouble were Shi Yanyan's group of students. Many people speculated that Shi Yanyan had offended someone, or that the criminals had other purposes. However, with such a clear target, most people were not too worried about their own safety. They were just afraid that there would be a demon who would kill without blinking an eye. This kind of situation had happened outside the academy before, and that was what really made everyone terrified and afraid to step out of the academy.

Tian Feirong and the little fat man got the news at the first time. They secretly said in their hearts that it was not good. At this time, Chi Changye and Gu Yao happened to be near the scene of the accident. They heard that someone escaped from the criminals, reported to the academy in time and left important clues. Could it be them?

If it was them, there was no need to worry too much, as long as their identities were not exposed, because it meant that they were safe, and they just had to return quietly with the others.

That afternoon, Gu Yao and Chi Changye met a group of students who were rushing back to the academy after hearing the news. The two pretended to know about this for the first time, and after hearing each other's warnings, they decided to follow the crowd back to the academy.

Seeing Chi Changye and Gu Yao coming out of the inner courtyard quietly, Tian Feirong and the little fat man breathed a sigh of relief: "You are finally out of retreat, something big happened in the academy!" Seeing

Tian Feirong's exaggerated tone and the way he wiped the cold sweat, Gu Yao couldn't help but smile knowingly, and listened to him and the little fat man's description of the situation in the academy. Finally, he said: "...Now the students in Quqiu Mountains are rushing back, and those who originally planned to go out have changed their plans, especially the female students, because they heard that the other side's cultivators actually subdued the ghost mist insects. The thought of being surrounded by the ghost mist insects without anyone noticing makes them feel creepy."

"There are some students who like to raise strange insects. They said they would wait until this matter is over, then form a team and go deep into the mountains to hunt the ghost mist insects. I think they should just stay where they are, because those insects are not so easy to tame. It's really a weird hobby." Tian Feirong declined to accept the offer.

The fat man knew a lot of gossip: "Shi Yanyan is usually very arrogant. I didn't expect that she would be captured alive. I wonder what will happen to her." The fat man looked at Chi Changye meaningfully. The news that Shi Yanyan tried to buy Chi Changye by force had been circulating for a while. He laughed in his heart, "Now some people say that Shi Yanyan was too arrogant and offended others. This matter has nothing to do with our college. Anyway, there are all kinds of explanations."

Gu Yao looked at Chi Changye and said, "Then let's wait until this storm is over before going out for a walk .

"

Chi Changye nodded.

In fact, although Gu Yao was forced to interrupt his trip early, he still gained something. In addition to training his adaptability and using magic to fight, he also collected a lot of plant specimens, including a bunch of plants he knew and didn't know, filling up a storage bag. So although there was a lot of noise outside, everyone was waiting for the result of this matter, but Gu Yao stayed in his alchemy room with peace of mind, studying various plants, trying to dig out valuable crops with special effects.

Tian Feirong and the little fat man have been paying attention to the news outside. During this period, someone came to ask whether Gu Yao and Chi Changye had left the academy. Of course, the two denied it, but they were secretly alert in their hearts. What was the intention of asking about Gu Yao and the others' whereabouts?

But no reliable results were reported for the investigation of the criminals or the captured Shi Yanyan. It was only said that the Shi family was furious when they learned that their beloved daughter was abducted, and they issued a high reward, hoping that someone could rescue his beloved daughter. Many people were interested, including those from their academy, but the clues about the criminals were still those left by Gu Yao and his team, such as the ghost mist insects and the foundation-building monks, and no new ones appeared.

"Those people outside are too useless. It's been a few days now, and they haven't found Shi Yanyan's whereabouts. They don't even know whether she is alive or dead." Tian Feirong muttered when the four of them gathered together.

"She should be alive. They can't kill people if they don't achieve their goal. But until now, these people have not appeared outside our academy. Everyone outside agrees that they are enemies provoked by the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce. There are even rumors that the Shi family got a rare treasure, and somehow the news leaked out. It may also be an insider, so the enemy used Shi Yanyan to take the head of the Shi family." The little fat man said.

"No way, what rare treasure made those villains so calculating?" Tian Feirong asked curiously.

Gu Yao and Chi Changye looked at each other. Things seemed to be getting more and more mysterious. It was a pity that the fog was so thick at that time that they didn't even run into the villains, so they couldn't provide more useful clues.

Suddenly, a ball of spiritual light appeared in front of them with a "puff" sound. Gu Yao stretched out his hand and tapped it, and the voice of Senior Brother Jiang Yan came from inside: "Junior Brother Gu, Brother Chi, something happened. The Shi family was wiped out. Only the head of the Shi family escaped under the protection of his loyal guards. The rest of the Shi family members were all killed. It is suspected that the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce colluded with outsiders. Junior Sister Shi is still missing."

After the voice was transmitted, the ball of light turned into a light spot and dissipated. The four people were stunned and stared at what they heard. If the person who sent the message was not Senior Brother Jiang Yan, people like Tian Feirong and the fat man would have suspected that someone was joking.

Tian Feirong's throat was dry, and his voice was hoarse: "The Shi family was wiped out overnight? The Shicheng Chamber of Commerce was destroyed? It seems that the news that the Shi family has treasures is true."

Otherwise, why would it be worth such a big fuss? To wipe out an entire family, including the Shi clan members and the monks who depend on them, the forces behind the action are frightening. Until now, no one knows their true identity.

"Don't panic, see what others do, and we will do the same. Don't be impatient." Chi Changye's voice was cold and metallic, knocking on the hearts of Tian Feirong and the little fat man, making them calm down a lot. They looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Gu Yao and I will go to the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce to see if there are any other situations." Chi Changye

said again.

"Okay, you guys should be careful too." He was worried that the two would be discovered by the power behind them, and they would not let them go easily.

Gu Yao and Chi Changye could hide their departure from the academy from others, but not Jiang Yan. Because they needed ID cards to enter and leave the academy, they asked Jiang Yan to get two more. In this place where spirit stones can make the devil push the mill, it is not difficult to get two ID cards. Every year, many students die outside for various reasons, and some ID cards are not cancelled in the academy. They use this kind.
