The next morning.

Tianyan Academy, at the main gate.

Lin Hao, Lei Meng, Qin Yu, Gu Yunle, and Yan Xinyue, the five of them stood side by side.

Opposite them was a large group of teachers and students headed by Ying Yuanzi, all standing there to see them off.

"Lin Hao, just like the song you sang last night, I will borrow it. I wish you a safe journey."

Ying Yuanzi said with a relieved smile.

“A thousand words cannot express all my feelings. Take care everyone!”

Lin Hao nodded and smiled, then bowed and clasped his hands.

Beside them, Yan Xinyue, Qin Yu and the other two also bowed and clasped their hands, performing a farewell ceremony to the many teachers and students.

"Take care of yourself!"

On the opposite side, all the instructors and students clasped their fists in unison.

Suddenly, a loud sound exploded and soared into the sky!

"Walk!"

Then, Lin Hao no longer lingered, but rushed out, taking Xiaobai and leaping onto a Swift Eagle that had been prepared long ago.

Qin Yu and the others immediately turned around and jumped onto the backs of their respective flying beasts.

Yo——!

A sharp eagle cry was heard, and five swift eagles suddenly rushed up.

As the wind and waves surged, they suddenly transformed into five green rays and flew into the sky!

"He... left after all."

In the crowd, Zhao Linger stared blankly at Lin Hao's receding back, feeling mixed emotions.

This separation also means that the bond between the two will be completely severed.

Zhao Linger had no hatred towards Lin Hao's ruthlessness, only blessings for him.

If I have to blame someone, I can only blame myself for being blinded by my desire for profit.

She missed a strong man who could protect her for the rest of her life.

…

In the vast and boundless sky, Lin Hao and the other four people were flying against the wind, looking quite high-spirited.

Perhaps it was a psychological influence, but all the way, Yan Xinyue was intentionally flying the Swift Eagle, staying as close to Lin Hao as possible.

Qin Yu and the others naturally understood what was going on. The three of them exchanged ambiguous glances and made room for Yan Xinyue.

Lin Hao was completely unaware of this.

His mind now was entirely focused on the nine mysterious and illusory sects that were rumored.

These nine sects all originated from the inheritance of ancient times and are superior to all dynasties and academic institutions.

The terrifying background he possesses is enough to destroy any imperial force in the Sky Continent in an instant.

Their existence is definitely the true master of this earth!

"Xinyue, where are the nine major halls located?"

As his mind changed, Lin Hao's gaze shifted and he finally looked at Yan Xinyue next to him.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Yan Xinyue's beautiful eyes flashed with joy, and she immediately smiled and said: "North Sea area.

"The northern seas? So far away!"

Hearing this, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

Their Great Yan Dynasty was located in the southern border of the Cangkong Continent, extremely far away from the northern region.

With the current flying speed of the Swift Eagle, even if it flies non-stop, it will probably take about a month!

Moreover, the sea area is obviously much larger than the continental area.

The time it would take to actually reach the nine major palaces is simply impossible to estimate.

"Don't worry, the Palace Sect has set up secret space teleportation arrays in various places on the Sky Continent, and we will arrive soon."

Seeing Lin Hao's surprised expression, Yan Xinyue smiled brightly, "This is why I came here in person to pick you up."

"Moreover, in addition to you, the participants of the Hundred Colleges Competition, the other personnel selected by the Palace Sect will also gather at the space transmission point."

Anyone else?

Lin Hao's expression slightly changed, and he asked curiously: "Are they all from various schools?"

"no."

Yan Xinyue shook her head. "Some martial arts geniuses who are similar to casual cultivators."

After hearing this, Lin Hao finally understood that the Hundred Colleges Competition was just one of the ways for the Palace Sect to select talents.

In addition, we also look for suitable personnel in various places in another way.

It can be seen from this that the nine major sects have almost won over the top-level martial artists in the Cangkong Continent.

With such a lineup, it’s no wonder that it can last for so long!

Later, during a conversation with Yan Xinyue, Lin Hao learned that the nearest space teleportation point was located in a hidden valley south of the Warcraft Mountains.

Two days ago, Yan Xinyue used this teleportation array to arrive at Tianyan Academy so quickly.

Until dusk.

Lin Hao and his group finally entered the area of ​​the Warcraft Mountain Range.

With their current level of cultivation, the monsters in the mountains cannot pose any threat to them at all.

As the powerful aura spread, all the low-level magical beasts lurking in the surroundings were frightened and fled in all directions.

In this way, under the guidance of Yan Xinyue, Lin Hao and his party rushed into a huge valley.

Inside, it is surrounded by towering trees, with thorns everywhere, and skeletons of various beasts and humans can be seen everywhere.

"Such a strong aura."

Lin Hao's eyes darkened slightly. The moment he stepped into the valley, he clearly sensed an extremely ferocious aura of a demon beast.

There is no doubt that this valley must be the territory of some powerful monster.

Qin Yu and the others beside them had obviously noticed something as well, and their expressions were slightly alert.

Feeling its breath, its strength is definitely at the level of a ninth-level magical beast!

This level of advanced magical beasts can still cause certain damage to them.

"roar!"

Sure enough, just as Lin Hao and the others were secretly on guard, the ferocious roar of beasts suddenly exploded in the valley.

Moreover, the roar of the beasts was not just one, but came from multiple beasts.

They are all level nine monsters!

Immediately afterwards, huge beast shadows suddenly rushed out from the dense forest and directly surrounded Lin Hao and others in the middle.

Moreover, these magical beasts are not of the same species.

Iron-armored mad lion, black ice spirit tiger, silver ring blood scale bear, shadow magic leopard...

At a glance, there were only powerful magical beasts with ferocious faces, and there were more than twenty of them!

At that moment, Lin Hao and his four brothers all instantly erected a protective spiritual shield, and protected Yan Xinyue's surroundings with great tacit understanding.

"Don't be nervous, they are all guardian beasts kept here by the Temple Sect."

Yan Xinyue smiled and said, "This will prevent some adventurers from coming in and accidentally destroying the formation."

Hearing this, Lin Hao and the others suddenly realized and their expressions regained a little calm.

Immediately, an almost transparent polygonal rhombus appeared in Yan Xin Yueyu's hand.
