If Dimuli didn't move, the whole team wouldn't move. When Dimuli moved, everyone used their vital energy, stepped off the ground, and headed for the top of the hill. There might be only a few weeds on top, like a few strands of hair, but what they cared about was the scenery behind it, not the hill itself.

Ah Zhu also learned to circulate her internal energy like everyone else, but with her limited strength, even if she stepped on her shoes, she couldn't jump to the top of the hill. Seeing her clumsy appearance, Xia Xiao grabbed her with one hand and flew to the hill without waiting for her to say anything. This trip was dangerous, but Ah Zhu smiled happier than anyone else.

When Yu Xiaxiao's arms left, Azhu stood firm. She leaned against Xiaxiao and looked at the world behind the hill.

On this side of the hill, there were weeds and rocks, and even the trees looked strange, as if the branches they grew were the claws of a demon that could hardly hide. But on the other side of the hill, there were still overgrown weeds and strange rocks of various shapes, which were hidden in the ground and partially exposed, making people look strange but also expected.

Xia Xiao smiled bitterly. He should have realized this earlier. The more you look forward to something, the more likely it is to fail. But where should those guys be hiding? When he was puzzled and thought that even if those guys were stupid, they were still students of the academy and should not be contaminated by black energy and magic power, his guess was right, but only partially right!

The traitors of the academy did not join forces with the Black Qi Demon Sect. Those guys represent the enemy of all mankind. They cannot provoke such an opponent, otherwise the entire Great Wilderness will immediately destroy them and their plan will be difficult to implement. But they joined forces with an existence that was forgotten by the Great Wilderness, an existence that was no longer mentioned and that Dimuli had forgotten.

"It seems to be getting further."

When a student made a suggestion, Dimuli shook his head.

"We can't go any further east."

Dimuli didn't know what was in the east, so for safety's sake, he couldn't go any further. Although there were no forbidden mythical things in the east of the East China Sea like in the south of the South China Sea, the unknown was dangerous, so he couldn't go too deep. Dimuli wasn't afraid, because his power didn't benefit from the sea, nor was it limited by the sea, but he couldn't let the young students behind him make any mistakes.

"Show yourself!"

Dimuli shouted. Xia Xiao and the others didn't hear it, but this sound rushed towards the island and the surrounding sea with a strange sound wave. The shout bombarded the air and the unknown land. The pure energy it carried tore apart many spaces. It spread everywhere, as if it could pull out all the creatures hidden in other spaces.

After searching like this, Dimuli easily found nearly a hundred people. But before that, there are some issues that need attention.

"In a circle."

After Dimuli finished speaking, the teachers had become the outer circle. Although some teachers were students from the previous class and were as young as children, because of their different status, even if they had never encountered such a situation, they still took on this heavy and great responsibility.

The hill is the highest point of the entire island, and you can see the changes around you. However, the wind is rising and the waves are shifting, and the fluctuations have made many teachers at the peak of the Venerable Realm feel uncomfortable. Xia Xiao also noticed something. In the air around him, there was an extremely powerful vitality surging. They did not cause the air to tear and explode, but appeared in front of him in liquid form.

Although he was far away, Xia Xiao's vision was particularly broad when the light blue light appeared in his eyes. Those small water droplets seemed to be hanging on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

Yuan Qi is invisible, contained in all things in the world, and also floating in the air. If there is enough Yuan Qi, it will take on different forms. The gaseous state visible to the naked eye is very rare, and even the Yuan Qi on the mountainside of the academy has not reached that level. But at this time, these Yuan Qis have turned into liquid, like the mist in the mountains in the early morning, full of tiny water droplets.

There were thousands and thousands of water drops, each of which was connected. They formed a huge array, which controlled the island and the sea surface tightly. It was like a huge glass jar, which was suddenly pressed on the island and the sea surface. The seventy-one people in the array, even Dimuli, had a look of surprise on their faces.

This talisman array has already existed here, but even Dimuli didn't notice it when he arrived earlier. This talisman array, half hidden in the air and half hidden in the sea and sky, has no black air or magic power. Who is the sacred person that Wang Haoran invited?

Before he understood the array, Dimuli did not start to resist rashly. But the accomplishment of this strange array was far beyond many arrays, because it was not only limited to one plane and one direction, but also could change the places where the water droplets went.

The water energy in the talisman array was quite ancient, with a kind of ancient dust. Xia Xiao couldn't figure out why, but when the water mist took shape and completely surrounded the island, an old voice said:

"Why don't you guys run away?"

This voice had little to do with Wang Haoran's previous voice, but Dimuli still found it hard to believe. Could it be that the ancient race had not disappeared, but existed to the east of the East China Sea? There were four major seas in the Great Wilderness, and both the South China Sea and the East China Sea had mysterious things. So were there also things hidden in the West China Sea and the North China Sea?

The first thing that came to Dimuli's mind was the ice sheet in the North Sea, but there was nothing in the West Sea. After a few seconds of hesitation, he slowly replied:

"The talisman formation was already there before we stepped in. Now that we're in, how can it be so easy to escape? And aren't you underestimating the enemy by thinking you can trap us with just a talisman formation?"

The mist separated everyone's world from the outside world, and they could not see the sea. But there seemed to be a huge monster swimming in it, which made Ah Zhu grab Xia Xiao's clothes in fear. The latter was concentrating on looking around. The wonderful feeling in the mist was like a whale in the sea, which was very natural. Xia Xiao was increasingly unable to understand what kind of strong man could exert such water energy, but Di Muli knew. He waited for the other party to answer, and the old voice was like the roar of an animal.

"You are strong, and humans are getting stronger, but you are in the ocean, and you can't escape."

"There are also water practitioners in my team. It's not certain who will win or lose. But why are you helping them?"

"I'm helping myself."

The slow voice made Dimuli look again, and he saw an old face. He looked like an ordinary old man, but he was full of energy, with his back straight. He stood in the mist in the distance, looking at this side silently.

"You still exist?"

“We never disappeared.”

"If your tribe is still here, maybe we can sit down and talk."

"I have a medium that can take me back to the Great Wilderness. There's no need to talk. Humans can't be trusted!"

When the old voice said this, it sounded like a painful realization, as if he had experienced something tragic.

“Are you trading?”

The old man in the mist did not answer, but just as Dimuli guessed, he and Wang Haoran and others were making a self-interested deal. The latter would take him away from the abyss through a special medium, and he would help Wang Haoran solve Dimuli's problems.

In fact, the old man in the mist didn't need to do this, but he needed to bring more of his people out. With his own strength, he was not enough to overthrow the Great Wilderness, let alone to take revenge. He needed some minions. Thirty thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Spiritual Contract sealed the losers in the name of victory and locked up their race. Now that he had walked out of the abyss, he would definitely seize this opportunity.

Outside the mist, by the sea, Wang Haoran and others stood on a talisman array to avoid falling into the sea. They looked at the scene in front of them and were shocked. When they found the ancient book about the East of the East China Sea, they tried to bring the race out of the deep sea, but they were stopped by heavy blockades.

The treasure chest tied with iron chains has a higher chance of containing treasures, so they used evil methods and sacrificed thousands of lives in exchange for one of them to break free. But they didn't expect that the old man who looked old could really control Dimuli.

Wang Haoran was just looking for a helper at first, his real intention was not only to destroy the academy. Having suffered all the misery in the world, he hated humans and the wilderness. The whole world was weeping, it was too desolate, it would be better to destroy it and be reborn, maybe there would be a better result. The seventy people around him were Wang Haoran's most loyal believers. As for the three hundred people before, they were all pioneers with weak wills, but as long as they were practitioners, they would become his obstacles, so it would be better to destroy them in advance.

With his hands behind his back, Wang Haoran looked at the island in the mist, thinking about how to completely control the old man. As long as he was there, his plan could be implemented. But he didn't know that the old man had the same ulterior motives as him. No one wants to be a sword in the hands of others, but everyone wants to turn others into their own weapons.

The old man in the mist finally admitted that he was trading, but his real idea was to have a free meal. During his silence, the academy's teams showed their earth and water contract beasts, and the wood beasts were also preparing. This was the best way to resist him, but among the more than 20 contract beasts, there was one that made the old man roar in anger!

The long and angry roar was like the anger of a whale. Once the quiet and gentle behemoth gets angry, the whole sea will roll. The majestic vitality gushed towards Dimuli, but was intercepted by the latter. Dimuli felt that there was a sea pressing him down, but where the old man's eyes were, it was... Xiaoyu!

Xiaoyu stood behind Xia Xiao. She was much taller than the latter, but she could still feel that gaze and hid behind Xia Xiao timidly, not knowing what to do. She trembled slightly, not understanding why the old man looked at her like that.

The teachers and students were all attracted to him. Although they didn't know what Xia Xiao had done, they surrounded him. This feeling was not bad, and Xia Xiao felt flattered. The old man in the mist didn't like him at all, but became more and more angry. The last roar was so loud that even Dimuli was afraid of the future.

Dimuli already knew the identity of this old man, but what was the relationship between his race and Xia Xiao? Although there were many mysteries about Xia Xiao, they were only related to the ancestor of the spiritual contract.

"Could it be that the extinction of that race is related to the ancestor of the Spiritual Contract?"

When Dimuli was whispering, the lamb appeared beside him again. It turned into a shield in the soul state, protecting everyone inside. But even though there were countless vitality between them, in this already chaotic world, the old man looked at Xia Xiao as if there was nothing between them.
