At this moment, outside the Medicine Valley, Xue Yun was moving quickly through the mountains and forests.
When he first entered this secret realm, in order to avoid meeting other candidates taking the test, Xue Yun always hid in a dark corner and carefully observed the movements around him.
On the first day of entering this secret realm, Xue Yun could occasionally glimpse other figures. However, as time passed, he gradually realized that the number of people in this secret realm seemed to be becoming increasingly sparse.
Until now, he has never met any human figure again!
At this moment, Xue Yun stood quietly on a towering tree, gazing into the distance, his eyes full of confusion.
"Where are they? Why is there no one here?" Xue Yun muttered to himself, the mystery in his heart becoming heavier.
In another place far away from Xue Yun, Xie Qi was leading a group of candidates in a devilish special training.
Although Xie Qi would occasionally take some people out to face those ferocious monsters in order to hone their combat capabilities, they always acted together.
So if Xue Yun didn't know where they were hiding, it would be difficult for him to meet them.
After a while, Xue Yun finally jumped down from the tree and rushed in a specific direction. Unfortunately, the path he chose made the distance between him and Xie Qi and his team even greater.
And at this moment, outside the secret realm, everything was just as Xie Qi had expected. The elders were extremely worried about this sudden change and were racking their brains for a solution.
I originally thought it was just a simple problem that the entrance to the secret realm could not be opened temporarily, but the reality was far more serious than I had imagined.
The entire secret realm had vanished without a trace! The twelve hundred students who had come to take the test had vanished along with the secret realm.
Faced with such an incredible situation, even the highly respected dean found it difficult to come up with a reasonable explanation. He frowned, constantly flipping through ancient books and searching for information, trying to find a clue.
However, time passed relentlessly. According to the original plan, these students should have completed the assessment and successfully exited the secret realm within just three days, but now a full week has passed, and there is still no news.
Those parents who were eagerly waiting for their children to return safely gradually realized that something was wrong.
Especially when they found that their children had not returned for a long time, their worries and anxieties became more intense.
Among the students taking the exam, many came from prominent families with distinguished backgrounds. These families placed all their hopes on their descendants, hoping they would excel in this exam and bring honor to their families.
If these children really met with an accident, it would be difficult for the academy to explain clearly to these families.
At this moment, Xiu Qiyan, who had tried everything to no avail, walked out with a cold face after recalling what someone said.
After finding Liu Yansong, he extended his right hand emotionlessly. A dazzling light shot out from his right hand, transforming into countless fine threads of light that quickly wrapped around Liu Yansong's neck like a spirit snake.
Xiu Qiyan's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at Liu Yansong intently, and he spat out a few words coldly: "What on earth did you do?"
At this moment, Liu Yeqing, who had hurried over, caught sight of the tense situation. His heart tightened, and he quickly reached out and tugged at the warden's sleeve. At the same time, he turned to Liu Yansong and shouted, "Liu Yansong! If you really did this, stop it immediately! Don't make the same mistake again!"
Seeing this, Yan Yuechen, who was standing nearby, hurried forward and anxiously pleaded with the dean on Liu Yansong's behalf, "Dean, there must be a misunderstanding here."
At this time, Xiu Qiyan was being held by one arm each by Liu Yeqing and Yan Yuechen, and his originally excited emotions gradually calmed down.
Then, he stared at Liu Yansong with eyes filled with disappointment and heartache, and said in a low but clear voice, "Liu Yansong, I can let go of those things in the past, but now more than a thousand lives are at stake. I hope you can clearly understand the seriousness of this matter! If you truly hold a grudge against me and want to take this opportunity to retaliate against me, then fine, I will leave my life at your disposal. I only ask that you spare these innocent people."
After being untied, Liu Yansong's body seemed to have suddenly lost support, and she fell to the ground on her knees, followed by a heart-wrenching cough.
After catching his breath a little, he raised his head, forcing a wry smile onto his face. He stared straight at Xiu Qiyan and muttered to himself, "Heh... I let them go? Why do you all think I was the one who did this? Do I look so unforgivable in your eyes?"
At this moment, Song Lizhen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly took the initiative to attack. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Humph, isn't it you? Have you forgotten everything you did? And why did you say those inexplicable words when Xue Yun entered the secret realm that day? How did you know that he was going to have an accident? And what exactly are you regretting?"
Song Lizhen's series of aggressive questions were like a string of cannonballs, instantly focusing everyone's attention on Liu Yansong.
Liu Yansong, who had just been so confident, was stunned after hearing what Song Lizhen said.
Then, as if someone had exposed the darkest secret in his heart, he quickly lowered his head, sealed his lips tightly, and refused to utter another word.
Seeing Liu Yansong's abnormal behavior, Xiu Qiyan grabbed Liu Yansong's collar tightly, his eyes wide, and his face full of anger asked: "How did you know that Xue Yun would have an accident? Did you know that the secret realm would disappear! As long as you tell me that this was not done by you, I will believe you..."
However, facing Xiu Qiyan's urgent questioning, Liu Yansong kept his head down and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
After a long stalemate, he slowly said, "...It wasn't me."
Xiu Qiyan frowned slightly. Although he didn't hear the other party's detailed explanation in person, when he heard that the other party didn't do it, for some reason, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little.
He slowly stood up, looked around, took a deep breath, and spoke in a calm and firm tone, "As the dean, I will certainly take due responsibility for what happened. I will find a solution."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiu Qiyan turned around without hesitation and strode towards the door.
